This video made me a bit nauseated. It notions that the Florida hobbyist has no privileges as compared with the "Mel Fisher" stake claimers on the treasure coast. That coin they found should be freely findable by anyone who is eager to search, not just for the leasers! I believe that historic artifacts in the wild need to be discovered and retrieved; with all options on how to deal with the artifact beholden to the treasure finder. Let Poseidon govern the depths, not Tallahassee! For Christ sake, we're not searching the Pyramids! Florida has gone crazy with its laws on who owns the beach, recalling the new Florida law passed just this 2018 on private beach ownership. I was thinking about getting into the metal detector hobby now that I can afford the equipment in my later years. What an incredible dream that would be to uncover a piece or two of Spanish Fleet gold or silver or an emerald-laden ring not far off the shore and accessible by the amateur treasure hunter\diver\snorkeler\wader! I was excited to try out treasure hunting in Vero Beach, a few hours from my home, for this exact reason. But my endeavor into this adventure has been dashed by its regulations and limited metal detecting zones. Locating the legal jurisdiction is enough of a headache to give up. And just thinking about arguing with a park ranger about the law, to me, is like asking a Fort Myers shrimp fisherman the penalty for early withdrawal of a Roth 401k. I think the laws in this hobby need to be returned to "Finders Keeper." Though, I don't know who is to blame. Irresponsible metal detectorists who leave dig holes or trespass on private property, or the wealthy Spanish Fleet investors, who, more than likely, pay the Florida lobbyists to change the game in treasure hunting to their advantage? These discoveries on Florida's (bully-like) metal detecting regulations seems that the Florida metal detectorists have been robbed of their adventure! The regulations favor the commercial treasure hunters. Like some Silicon Valley start-up, the lessees take investor dollars in speculation of mining for profit and Wall Street returns. How is this historical preservation? There's a lot of control in this Archeological and Historic Preservation Act (AHPA). Let's hope the rules change for the detectorists Hobbyers before all the gold is gone.
