I found a gravel bar in Alaska where the river had deposited several battered, barely recognizable old Prince Albert cans. There was some other stuff, too, but nothing I could identify. A local told me that middens from miners in the 20s and 30s were eroding out of the riverbank upstream. Apparently they weren't considered to have any archaeological value, but it was interesting to poke around the old trash, anyway.
