Bayou Sara, LA

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Louisiana · approx. 30.79, -91.4 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mississippi River

What turns up: Steamboat-port bottles, whiskey flasks and bitters, patent medicines, Southern blob-top sodas, salt-glazed stoneware.

Access: Gray area.

In Louisiana the bed of a navigable river and its banks up to the ordinary high-water mark carry state public-trust and levee-district servitudes, and removing historic artifacts from that zone is restricted; townsite ground behind the levee is normally private and needs the landowner's permission; state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials, so avoid any disturbed-ground digging without checking status.
