Hannibal, MO: Mississippi River port and Mark Twain steamboat town

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Missouri · approx. 39.71, -91.36 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mississippi River

What turns up: 1850s-1900s druggist, saloon, whiskey and soda bottles plus stoneware and steamboat cargo debris along the riverfront wharf and back lots

Access: Gray area.

The bed of the Mississippi below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the riverfront banks and town lots are usually private and need the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and any unmarked burials.
