New Zealand: Otago goldfields dumps

BOTTLE DIGGING PERMISSION REQUIRED DOCUMENTED

Where: New Zealand · Oceania · approx. -45.92, 169.68 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1861 Otago gold rush (Gabriel's Gully, Central Otago camps)

What turns up: [doc] NZ black glass, torpedo sodas, gold-rush imports, salt-glaze ginger beers.

PRIVATE LAND ONLY - a digger was fined for digging a reserve. NZ's pre-1900 archaeological-site law is the constraint; settler dump glass on private farmland with permission is the practiced path.
