Kokomo, Howard County

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Indiana · approx. 40.49, -86.13 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Wildcat Creek, a Gas Belt glass city

What turns up: Kokomo Opalescent Glass and Diamond Plate Glass cullet, blob sodas, brewery beer bottles, druggist bottles, and stoneware near the factory grounds and old privies along Wildcat Creek.

Access: Gray area.

Wildcat Creek is a modest stream, so confirm whether the reach is legally navigable, since beds of navigable waters below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public trust land where artifact removal is restricted. Factory grounds and townsite lots are private and need the owner's permission. Indiana law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
