Haven Beach VA: Mathews County artifact shore

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: East · North America · approx. 37.43, -76.26 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: Eroding lower-bay shoreline of colonial-era Mathews County, shedding 17th- to 19th-century material, sea glass and fossils onto public beaches

What turns up: sea glass, 17th-19th c. pottery and pipe fragments (look, record, leave), shark teeth, arrowheads eyes-only

Access: Gray area.

Haven Beach is public county shoreline; sea glass is fine, but Virginia Antiquities Act protects artifacts on state-owned bottom and Bethel Beach is a Natural Area Preserve with seasonal bird closures, so keep artifacts eyes-only and check signage
