Where: Indiana · approx. 41.71, -86.89 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Lake Michigan, at the mouth of Trail Creek
What turns up: Blob sodas and mineral waters, brewery beer bottles, whiskey flasks, druggist bottles, and stoneware around the harbor, Trail Creek banks and old lakefront commercial lots.
Access: Gray area.
The bed of Lake Michigan below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust land where artifact removal is restricted, and lakeshore rules are strict. Trail Creek banks and townsite lots are usually private and need the landowner's permission. Indiana law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
