BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Indiana · approx. 40.75, -86.07 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Wabash River, on the line of the Wabash and Erie Canal

What turns up: Blob sodas and bottling-works bottles, brewery beer bottles, whiskey flasks, druggist bottles, and stoneware behind the old canal-era and circus-era commercial blocks.

Access: Gray area.

The bed of the Wabash River below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust land where artifact removal is restricted. The former canal corridor and townsite lots are usually private and need the landowner's permission. Indiana law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
