Saco, Maine (Saco falls and river mouth)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Maine · approx. 43.5, -70.44 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Saco River falls and river mouth

What turns up: Textile-mill and river-port refuse at the Saco falls: embossed bottles, stoneware, and iron hardware along the riverbank below the mills.

Access: Gray area.

Private waterfront ownership runs to the low-tide line under Maine's rule, so the lower Saco intertidal is largely private and needs the owner's permission; the bed of the navigable Saco is state-owned with artifact removal restricted, and townsite uplands are private. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
