Here are some sites to really get your blood flowing.

Western Bottle News

Also, you should post it on any other bottle sites that you can.

More info, the better
Like others have said, go back.
You said it was a graded area, will you have a chance to dig?
you said that you were kinda new to the whole bottle digging experience,
look for any areas that might have a accumulation of glass shards, charcoal, trash, etc.
Believe it or not, shards of the bottle you found can be worth $$.
If they included embossing.
I was lucky years ago to dig two real nice bottles in one day, (not even close to the value of yours), and like you,
I had no idea of the rarity of either. One was the second known to exist.
Again, congrates on a fantastic find!

Add on, this video says it's actually an 1870's.
Your bottle just gets better and better!

I make sure that there's no wind and they survived a dump truck ride and the dozer pushing the dirt around lol .

Can you post another photo once you get it sparkling clean?

I don't think we will do any more cleaning were going to leave it as found until my son decides if its for sale . But I might try to get a better photo .
