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!

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