BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: North Carolina · approx. 35.55, -77.05 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Pamlico River (Tar River) at the head of the Pamlico

What turns up: Pontiled and applied-lip bottles, blob-top sodas, and stoneware along the Pamlico waterfront; strong maritime and steamboat refuse where the Tar becomes the Pamlico.

Access: Gray area.

The Pamlico River bottom below ordinary high water is state public-trust land where removing historic artifacts is restricted and submerged bottoms are protected; the waterfront and warehouse uplands are private and need the owner's permission; state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked graves.
