you've found some nice bottles there. Could be a dump or also just from the tide. Often bottles washed into inlets from town and tend to settle in one place there with in...

Good bottles in terms of age , late 1890's or so...and it's always a good sign when the quart size bottles come out whole. You could be in for some nice surprises in that spot. Use a wooden probe/stick to locate bottles in the mud without breaking them. The green quart is cool, and I wonder if the Hancock Whiskey is a Maine product?

cool! Wait until low tide and dig!!! You might find some early stuff. If the water starts to fillin, bail as quick as you can.

You're finding better and older bottles than I did when I 1st started. Congrats...I'd dig the area you found the bottles, probably more under the mud deeper.
