just jet them down with a mud hog pump.
that's how we build a box here in Florida in the sand.
Just put the pump hose At the bottom of the piling and it will start to sink.

That's usually the best way.
Be careful if its creosote posts though. You will be in a bind when you come out that water.

We used to "jump" pilings in at our camp sometimes. If you do that while jet-driving with strong hose it could work. Nail 2x4 or 2x8 to the side of the piling and literally jump up and down.

Go drive around looking for another contractor installing pilings. Friends have had good luck just asking them to install on their way out.
It usually costs a lot less than hiring outright, especially if you have cash and the pilings at your place already.

3/4" pipe threaded. thread on a water hose fitting. I forgot if it has an L on the bottom or not. turn on the water hose. That's how they drive big camp pilings in sand. it ought to work in muck. google redneck water jet or something like that. here you go LINK
A buddy of mine just used the pressure from a regular hose to drive them in sand for a camp.

Coon, you better get a permit. The bayou lafourche freshwater district caught me trying to redo my bulkhead and wanted to give me a pretty hefty fine. They patrol pretty regularly. I believe the permit only cost me 30 bucks but I had to do all kinds of surveys on the bayou. The corps of assholes wanted a transverse survey of the bayou at my lot. Lucky I am a surveyor that can attach a weight to a tape measure. 
It took about three months to get my permit. I built a 16x16 pier with roof for right at 2 grand. I drove sixteen foot pilings and have had no problems. We drove the 6x6 pilings with a bucket truck. You can jet them down with a hose pipe you just have to get some weight on them. Let me know if you want some more info.
I'm in raceland.
