Where: Idaho · approx. 47.68, -116.78 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Lake Coeur d'Alene
What turns up: 1880s to 1900s fort sutler, saloon, druggist and steamboat era bottles and ceramics along the old lakefront wharf blocks and Fort Sherman ground
Access: Gray area.
The lakebed below the ordinary high water mark is state owned in trust and restricted for historic artifact removal. The shoreline lots and uplands of the old town are generally private and need the landowner's permission, and any adjoining federal land (Forest Service or BLM) falls under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, which bars disturbing sites over 100 years old without a permit.
