Now that the 2005 summer dive season is in full swing down along the Florida coast (well, when the rain finally ends anyway). The comments of another Florida scuba diver on another site caused me to revisit the Florida Historical Commission, the Bureau of Archaeological Research, and the Division of Historical Resources web site. Wow! I am shocked at some of the changes that are posted since my last visit to the site. This does not appear to be good news for all us scuba diving relic/treasure hunters.
Effective 1 June 2005, the division has discontinued the isolated finds program. Removal of artifacts from sovereign submerged lands will no longer be allowed after that date; removal of artifacts from river bottoms and other sovereign submerged lands will be a first degree misdemeanor under
