Elba (Pea River)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Alabama · approx. 31.42, -86.07 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on On the Pea River in the Wiregrass, a river-landing county seat prone to historic flooding.

What turns up: Wiregrass river-town glass: patent medicines, bitters, whiskey flasks, and Hutchinson and crown-top Southern sodas near the old square and river landing, plus stoneware.

Access: Gray area.

Alabama framing: the Pea River bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public-trust land where artifact removal is restricted; the banks and town lots are usually private and need the owner's permission; state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
