Where: West Virginia · approx. 38.18, -81.33 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kanawha River
What turns up: Upper Kanawha coal, coke and glass town, expect miners' sodas, whiskey flasks and druggist bottles along the narrow river bench.
Access: Gray area.
The Kanawha bed below ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public land where removing artifacts is restricted, so stay on the dry bank. Bank and upland parcels are private and require the owner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked graves.
