Glass "guy" on the right a rolled lip food jar,
Guessing here but a wax sealer could have been used or at least discarded in the TOC era. Cobalt on a jug is almost always a good thing and the rest is more than interesting. Close ups of everything would be nice. Congratulations on the whatever it is find.

That is super awesome! Great pics and great discoveries, looks like some top-tier potential in that, uhm, whatever that watery chamber thing is. [8D]

I'm sure that many of us would love to see some close-ups or other related pictures, but whatever the case I hope you get back there, dig it out 100%, and find some beautiful rarities.

hi Dumpdiver, a small portable generator and sump pump ought to work. I would love to see the embossing on some of those bottles in the back. Great finds!
