Neat bottles mthunter22!
 

Nice bottles mthunter22, how did you get them so clean? Mine always come out pretty bad. Good job.
 

i start by using a scrubber on the outside and anything that sticks i use a s.o.s pad on and then the inside i use a variety of bottle brushes and for all the stuff i cant reach i use a bunch of bb,s with some soap and water and shake them around till i get it where i want it..im not sure how to get the very stuck on mineral deposits on the inside but i may try some solvents and see if that will do it..
 

Original GO-JO handcleaner will take it off, works for me.

thanks vizio,, i have a minelab 2100.and have found lots of stuff but no gold,, so now i am trying to decide between the whites gmt and the fisher gold bug pro.. for the small gold..
 

Nice bottles, good clean job. Have a 2100 also,like the manual groundbalance, reliable PI detector.Old tech,from 1999 but still works good.
 

Not only are they nice bottles, but the photography is top notch. Beautiful pics!

Some cheap toilet bowel cleaner for the stubborn spots. It works great with the BB's.
 

ill have to give it a try thanks for all the compliments and advice..
