A lot of people ask why we don’t show our finds cleaned up after every hunt….. I hope this answers your question lol. I do this with almost every bottle we find so it’s a very long process but it makes our bottles look so much better than a quick rinse with a garden hose! Hope y’all enjoyed and thanks for always supporting the channel!

We also know to cut off 3mm Copper Wire to 3-4mm long and have the Bottle filled with that "Copper Shot" to 1/3 full and add Water to just above the Copper Shot Level ! Now to put Your Hand over the Opening and start shaking Up - Down and Side to Side and all our Bottles came out clean - but not the Scratches as we don't have a Tumbler ! Just another way to clean the Inside of Bottles ! Nice Video and many Cheers from us in Australia!!!!

I've got it cleaned up the best I can but it's has a white discoloration on the inside that I assume is from sitting in water for a long time. My question is, what is the best way(if any) to clean it. Didn't know if I should try to get a tumbler or if the acid would do.

Brandon , just a heads up on that ladybug . I live in Gadsden and a few years ago my girlfriend's house was swarmed with ladybugs around this time of year . She was cleaning up dozens of dead ladybugs inside her house every day and had no idea where they were coming from . One day while I was picking up some pine bark that had fallen off of a dead pine tree before I mowed . I looked closely at the tree and began pulling back the bark . There were hundreds of ladybugs living there . I cut down the tree and she never had another problem . If it becomes a problem for you then get rid of any dead pine trees close to your house .

If you use the wrong media or cutter it is absolutely a possibility. 1200 grit is a slow cutter that helps prevent that from happening but you definitely do not want to forget that they are running on a tumbler and leave it on for weeks haha!

I use a product called Acid Magic, a " Muriatic equivalent" from City Mill hardware. I've had some fabulous cleans, and other less so. Painted bottles are a crap shoot. I made copper gravel with wire and wire cutters that I use from time-to-time.shaking it inside bottles or scrubbing with a rag.. I use my judgment cleaning, and haven't really wrecked anything.

I’ve seen a change in where lowes and home depot keep the muriatic acid. I used to see it in paints. I haven’t seen it there in a while. It has been moved outside in the gardening area. Maybe a new law not sure if it applies in every state. I only mentioned because not many of the employees seem to know where it is. I hate getting the runaround. When you run that wire brush in the drill use a cream made from the polishing powder. It works for me. Just be careful of the overspray it should not get in the eyes.
