Where: West Virginia · approx. 38.85, -82.14 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Ohio River at the mouth of the Great Kanawha
What turns up: Historic river port at the Kanawha confluence, expect early flasks, sodas, druggist bottles and steamboat and wharf debris where the two rivers meet.
Access: Gray area.
Below ordinary high-water mark the Ohio and Kanawha beds are state-owned public land with restricted artifact removal, so keep to the dry banks. The point and upland lots are private and need permission, and West Virginia law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials, which is especially relevant at this old battleground and townsite.
