Where: New York · approx. 43.46, -76.51 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mouth of the Oswego River on Lake Ontario and the Oswego Canal
What turns up: Grain elevators, starch works and a busy Great Lakes port; expect harbor and dockside refuse, utility and soda bottles and stoneware along the river mouth and lakefront.
Access: Gray area.
In New York the beds of navigable rivers, canals, and the Great Lakes below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the townsite banks and uplands are usually privately owned and require the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials. Confirm ownership and any required permissions before digging.
