Where: West Virginia · approx. 40.61, -80.56 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Ohio River
What turns up: Taylor Smith and Taylor pottery district, expect whiteware and ironstone wasters, pottery sherds, and early sodas near the Ohio bank and old works.
Access: Gray area.
Below ordinary high-water mark the Ohio bed is state-owned public land with restricted artifact removal, so keep to the dry bank. Adjacent banks and uplands are private and need permission, and West Virginia protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials by law.
