Calais, Maine (St. Croix tidewater)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Maine · approx. 45.19, -67.28 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on St. Croix River tidewater, coastal border

What turns up: Border lumber-port and mill dumps: black-glass ale bottles, clay pipes, and iron hardware along the St. Croix tidewater wharves.

Access: Gray area.

Private waterfront ownership runs to the low-tide line under Maine's rule, so the St. Croix intertidal is largely private and needs the owner's permission; the navigable riverbed is state-owned with artifact removal restricted, and townsite uplands are private. The river is an international boundary, so respect the border. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
