Shakopee Lower Minnesota River

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Minnesota · approx. 44.8, -93.53 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Minnesota River

What turns up: Ferry-landing and brewery-era glass: embossed local bottles, stoneware, and dump debris in privies along the lower Minnesota River flats and old townsite banks.

Access: Gray area.

The Minnesota River bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust where artifact removal is restricted; the banks and uplands are generally private and require the landowner's permission. Minnesota law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
