Where: Kentucky · approx. 38.68, -85.18 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Ohio River at the mouth of the Kentucky River
What turns up: Wharf druggist bottles, Hutchinson sodas, and whiskey flasks at a busy two-river junction where steamboats transferred cargo.
Access: Gray area.
In Kentucky the beds of the navigable Ohio and Kentucky rivers below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public-trust bottomland where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the townsite banks 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.
