Pittsburgh

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Pennsylvania · approx. 40.44, -80.0 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela forming the Ohio River

What turns up: Pittsburgh was the glass capital of America; look for early free-blown and molded flasks, drug and bitters bottles, and applied-seal whiskey bottles from riverfront dumps and warehouse districts

Access: Gray area.

Pennsylvania: the beds of the navigable Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela below the ordinary high-water mark are Commonwealth-owned public land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the riverbanks and uplands are generally private and need the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
