Group of bottles recently dug in Arizona desert - value?
Hug amount of ca 1800 old bottles found in southern Arizona dig. Covered with Wulfenite minerals and others. Wulfenite is about to became the new mineral in the state of Arizona, replacing Copper. Bottles way to Beautiful to clean. Plus historical factors. Indian Wars, Wyatt Earp era, extra. Does anyone think they will be worth much?

I would agree the iridescence on your bottles is attractive and I would leave them as they are.
I am not seeing a whole lot of value in your late 19th century bottles - all are fairly common things. The Hostetter's Bitters is a common one - these get more interesting value-wise in odd colors, but plain amber I am afraid is simply very common. There may be a sleeper or two in the lot - bottles marked with town and state names from the southwest are of keen interest to collectors....
