    Rick, I'm sure you thoroughly rinse your pieces after each step
    (dishsoap, rinse, ultrasonic, rinse).....I would think that the
    tarnish is then the result of "laying them out to dry overnight".
    The tarnish on the back is a clue!  It sounds like your problem stems
    from the jewelry laying on a damp towel.  I get the best result by
    holding each piece under a blow dryer that is set on low for a minute
    or two to get rid of the majority of the moisture; then, I lay them
    out on a DRY towel overnight to give the rest of the moisture time to
    evaporate from the crevices.  You may also want to try anti tarnish
    strips in the plastic bags.  Hope this is helpful! 

Cathy
