Where: Indiana · approx. 40.42, -86.88 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Wabash River and the line of the Wabash and Erie Canal
What turns up: Thieme and Wagner brewery beer bottles, blob sodas from local bottling works, whiskey flasks, druggist bottles, and stoneware behind the old canal-era commercial blocks.
Access: Gray area.
The bed of the Wabash River below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust land where removing historic artifacts is restricted. The former canal corridor, townsite lots and uplands are usually private and require the owner's permission. Indiana law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
