Columbus (Lowndes County Tombigbee river town)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Mississippi · approx. 33.5, -88.43 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Tombigbee River, along the town's historic riverfront

What turns up: 1880s hand-blown druggist, soda and whiskey bottles, stoneware, buttons and marbles in downtown privy vaults, plus reworked glass and ceramic shards in the Tombigbee bank cuts below the old business blocks.

Access: Gray area.

The navigable Tombigbee River bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the riverbanks and town uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
