Where: West Virginia · approx. 38.35, -81.63 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kanawha River
What turns up: Salt-valley capital city, expect early sodas, bitters, druggist bottles, stoneware and salt-furnace-era glass along the Kanawha banks and old landings.
Access: Gray area.
The Kanawha bed below ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public land where artifact removal is restricted, so keep to the dry bank. Bank and upland parcels are private and need the owner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked graves.
