    Griffith Chemical Company makes a pickle called "Nickel Pickle."
     After you use it once or twice it turns a black color which
    does not harm the metal.  I used to put nickel, brass and copper
    in it and it really did a good job.  It instructs you not to put
    silver in it.  

    As for taking the copper flashing off of metal, especially
    silver, I use equal parts of regular peroxide and pickle and
    just dip the piece in it for a brief period of time.  After the
    flashing is gone, it just goes back into the pickle pot.  It
    really works great.
