Bucksport, Maine (Penobscot tidewater)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Maine · approx. 44.57, -68.8 (vicinity only)

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

What turns up: River-port and shipyard refuse: ale and utility bottles, clay pipes, and iron ship fittings along the Penobscot tidewater waterfront.

Access: Gray area.

Under Maine's rule private waterfront runs to the low-tide line, so the Penobscot intertidal here is mostly private and needs the owner's permission; the navigable riverbed is state-owned with artifact removal restricted, and townsite uplands are private. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
