St. Albans (Kanawha County)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: West Virginia · approx. 38.39, -81.84 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kanawha River at the mouth of the Coal River

What turns up: River town at the Coal River mouth, expect sodas, druggist bottles and stoneware near the landing and the confluence flats.

Access: Gray area.

Below ordinary high-water mark the Kanawha and Coal River beds are state-owned public land with restricted artifact removal, so work only the dry banks. Bank and upland lots are private and need permission, and West Virginia law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
