Where: West Virginia · approx. 37.67, -80.89 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on New River
What turns up: C and O railroad town on the New River, expect railroaders' sodas, whiskey flasks, druggist bottles and stoneware near the yards and river bank.
Access: Gray area.
The New River bed below ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public land with restricted artifact removal, so keep to the dry bank. Bank and upland lots are private and need permission, and West Virginia law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials, with parts of the gorge also under federal park protection.
