best way to approach this river ure idea

[Cumberland County]

Cumberland river, same county, some 50 years ago the dam was built, 30 miles above us, thus no more high water, but in its day it went from walking across it to halfway up the town sq. courthouse, I know where there were several ferry crossing, with a warehouse or too.

How would you bottle hunt it today, if we were going to assume the targets are in the normal area of the river bottom today, I have every thing from step wall bluffs next to river to large plowed area's.

with miles of land not inhabited.

My thought is to eliminate plowed and farmed area's due to implement traffic, till I have search areas you consider first target area's, a little of your logic on those patterns such item took as they floated downstream etc.

The heak with the bottles hit them plowed fields for indian artifacts ! If i understand corectly you want to search an area that used to be underwater? If so i would look for bends in the old riverbed,along any steep banks,You might want to cheak those fields for sighns of early habitation such as broken glass,bricks etc.then see if there are any steep banks close by.I also would think that if you were to throw a bottle into the water,chances are pretty good that it would have floated to the first snag ,(usualy on a bend)get hung up, sink and be buryed in the mud.Hope this helps Good luck !
