Gardiner, OR: lower Umpqua mill and cannery town

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Oregon · approx. 43.73, -124.11 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Umpqua River (tidewater)

What turns up: 1890s-1910s cannery and sawmill company-town bottles and shipping debris along the lower Umpqua waterfront

Access: Gray area.

The bed of the navigable Umpqua River and the banks below the ordinary high-water line are state-owned, and digging or removing historic material there can violate state law. The townsite uplands and old waterfront lots are private and require the landowner's written permission. Nothing here is open public collecting ground without a permit or consent.
