Charlevoix (Pine River channel resort town)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Michigan · approx. 45.32, -85.26 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Pine River channel linking Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix to Lake Michigan

What turns up: Druggist and resort bottles, saloon and hotel bottles, dock and excursion-boat debris along the channel and harbor.

Access: Gray area.

Michigan public trust framing: the bed of Pine River channel and Lake Michigan below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned bottomland held in public trust, where removing historic artifacts is restricted and state law protects archaeological sites and abandoned property in state waters. The townsite banks and uplands above the high-water mark are usually private and require the landowner's permission.
