Questions about a large pile of bottles I stumbled on.

I was out hiking in what used to be a CCC Camp back in the 30's, hard to distinguish much, VERY grown up, but all the foundations are still in place, anyway, I'm on the outskirts of the camp and I found a large pile of whiskey and other bottles and I'm wondering if these have any value or if they are just where someone, maybe kids at some point, might have been going to party and just left them lay. How would I tell, what would I look for? I will try to get back over there soon to get a pic of the pile and a couple close ups of some of the bottles.
Thanks for any input.
Ken.
 
since you said it was a camp from the 1930 they are bottles from that time period, or later. Hard to tell with out seeing a picture of the bottles.
 
Ok, well I went back today and got some pics of the bottle pile. Since I dont know for sure how to age bottles I took a few pics of the front then the bottom where all the numbers and letters are. I can tell you that some, if not most had alum twist off tops, which makes me doubt there are all that old, some had plastic tops, and some had really rusty steel tops, so, here they are, hopefully someone here can help me with the numbers on the bottoms. The middle set of pics is an old Pepsi bottle. I'm wondering if the 54 on the bottom denotes the year?? Thanks.
 
Heres a couple more pics. There must be over a hundred bottles there. :shrug:
 
That pepsi bottle looks to be around sometime in the 1950's.
I would guess that the rest of what you have showing probably dates around that time also.
Maybe some older ones deeper if the dump was used for a long period of time.
Any milk bottles in the pile by chance?
They are worth saving and some bring some nice prices.
