Mendocino, CA: Big River mouth doghole lumber port

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: California · approx. 39.31, -123.8 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Pacific coast (Big River mouth)

What turns up: 1870s-1910s hand-blown bottles, redwood-mill and hotel refuse, Chinese-camp ceramics along the bluff and river flat

Access: Gray area.

Beach and tideland below the mean high-tide line is state public-trust land where removing historic material can violate PRC 5097.5; the bluff-top townsite is private, so dig only with the landowner's permission.
