Where: Kentucky · approx. 38.4, -82.6 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Ohio River at the mouth of the Big Sandy River
What turns up: Rough river-port saloon whiskey flasks, Hutchinson sodas, and druggist bottles from a timber-boom town at the Big Sandy confluence.
Access: Gray area.
In Kentucky the beds of the navigable Ohio and Big Sandy 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.
