Butler, Kentucky

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Kentucky · approx. 38.79, -84.37 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Licking River, Pendleton County

What turns up: Small-town embossed druggist bottles, Hutchinson sodas, and riverside tavern whiskey flasks along the Licking.

Access: Gray area.

In Kentucky the bed of the navigable Licking River below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public-trust bottomland where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the riverbank and uplands above the line are typically private and need the landowner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked graves, so avoid disturbing them.
