Islands in the stream...

when i was in my teens we used to go over to the army corps dredge spoil area on the end of craney island-although the surface looked solid there were areas where you could sink out of sight-they lost one of those huge dump trucks out there-so watch where you step!

Maybe I can talk Grubby into taking a trip up there with me. LOL - BTW, I'm not overly partial to Florida, it just happens to be my best option right now. I do most of my reasearch on Central America and Carribean Island nations. Florida is merely one stop on my THunting journey, it just happened to be the first stop.

Sooooo, get me a prototype also and we're there Grubby. Seriously, I'm looking forward to your visit to Florida, I'll pick out some good spots and see you then!

I tried to hunt on a spoil island one time. Found lots of bottle tops and beer cans....lol

Been there, done that. lol. I filled my entire boat full of bags of aluminum. Not worth the time and effort. When I was a kid, I had many ideas....lol

Jason,
Let me try to rephrase my thought, I was thinking more along the lines of how they were working, or digging in the river bottom. (From a Florida owns the river bottom and it's contents point of view.) What is different from a shovel full of gravel with fossels verses Pegleg or yourself wanting to explore a river spot. Did that group of about twenty people brake the law on cable TV ? or have they found a loop hole ?

I have seen the show you speak of. The only thing I can think of is that film was made a few years ago when it was legal and Florida had an Isolated Finds Law. It is now illegal to find anything over 50 years old in Floridas rivers, the way I understand the laws.
