There is a bill in committee in the Florida Senate, SB868, that will make it illegal to "remove OR ATTEMPT TO REMOVE any "archaeological specimen" from any City, County or State park AND all tidelands...AKA the PUBLIC BEACH!!! Please go the Treasurenet shipwrecks forum...there are links there to contact the involved state senators who will vote on this thing and to give you more information on the bill...go to the END of the thread... This is NOT just about shipwrecks!!!. It doesn't matter what state you live in...if you are even THINKING about going to Florida on vacation, this concerns YOU...As a matter of fact YOU will help even more, because you are tourist dollars to the State of Florida...Tell them you will spend those dollars elsewhere...This thing is no joke...Spread the word...the vote is TOMORROW...this bill has been snuck through the legislature...If it sounds like I am panicking, I am. A wheat penny can be construed to be an "archaeological specimen"...
PLEASE HELP NOW BY CONTACTING THE FLORIDA STATE SENATORS BY EMAIL...THE LINKS ARE AT THE END OF THE THREAD IN THE TREASURENET SHIPWRECKS FORUM TITLED "PUT AWAY YOUR METAL DETECTORS, SHEEPLE"
 
This post makes a great point.

The state of Florida is very dependent on tourism.
 
What many states have done is to consider anything older than 50 years as an artifact, no matter what it is, including a wheat penny. That is because they have been influenced by the US Antiquity laws. You cannot dig a clad dime, a 1/4 inch below the surface in a national forest, where the foxes, rats, snakes, ground hogs, prarie dogs, et al, burrow and disturb the soil all the time.

I blame us. We have kept our mouthes shut, playing ball with the feds and allowing them to run all over us as we try to befriend them, and go at them with kindness. If detecting groups, magazines, organizations, and dealers don't start organizing pressure on these politicians, you will soon be having to go through a permit process to detect in your own yard.

Stop being nice to the feds. They don't want to be your friends, they want the power, and Agenda 21.
