Muncie, Delaware County

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Indiana · approx. 40.19, -85.39 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on West Fork of the White River, a Gas Belt glass city

What turns up: Ball Brothers fruit jars and glass, Hemingray insulators and bottles, blob sodas, brewery beer bottles, druggist bottles, and glass-house cullet near the factory grounds and old residential privies.

Access: Gray area.

Beds of navigable waters below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public trust land where artifact removal is restricted, so confirm the status of the White River reach. The glass-factory grounds and townsite lots are private and need the owner's permission. Indiana law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
