Oh yeah! These old tooled large logo Ruppert bottles predate Yankee Stadium, the Ruppert bottles with the smaller circular logo on the top would have been the kind served in Yankee Stadium in its early days. I once found one of these newer Ruppert bottles from the 1920's sitting in a crevice in...
All in the ocean on the edge of land where people likely went swimming, fishing and such. The bottles were likely on land originally but erosion washed them down into the water where they got burried in the mud all next to eachother in an area about 5 feet across. Some where near the surface...
I dug all these bottles from the mud today. Apparently someone really liked David Mayer beer 120 years ago. All the bottles were in the same area so I think it was the same person drinking them and stashing them, but they never came back to cash their deposits.

I follow Nicola White and I know she went on a hovercraft with someone for mudlarking in Britian somewhere and ended up finding an ancient Roman jug on that particular outing, these may have been the same hover craft people she was with that you're talking about but I'm not sure. Would be nice...
Oh yes, and it is a well hidden spot too, only accessible at low tide and only by walking about 3/4 of a mile through mud. It is bassically a small thin peninsula made of mud that's mostly submerged at high tide.
Part of the reason I only recovered the three portholes without looking for more...
I plan to keep the portholes as part of a nautical-themed display that I am building. My dream has always been to have a room akin to some type of romanticized pirate captain's cabin, with old dark hard wood walls, dim flickering ship's lamps, the sound of creaking wood, silver candle holders...
