Where: New York · approx. 43.05, -74.86 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mohawk River gorge on the Erie Canal
What turns up: Cheese market, knitting mills and paper; expect canal-boat and mill refuse, ale and medicine bottles and stoneware in the gorge and along the towpath.
Access: Gray area.
In New York the beds of navigable rivers, canals, and the Great Lakes below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the townsite banks and uplands are usually privately owned and require the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials. Confirm ownership and any required permissions before digging.
