BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: West Virginia · approx. 38.42, -81.84 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1920s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kanawha River

What turns up: World War One powder-plant boom town, expect 1918 through 1930s medicine and soda bottles and company-town debris along the Kanawha bench.

Access: Gray area.

Below ordinary high-water mark the Kanawha bed is state-owned public land with restricted artifact removal, so stay on the dry bank. Bank and upland lots are private and require permission, and West Virginia law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
