Looks like it's right there behind Summerhouse Beach and Racquet Club just north of Matanzas Inlet.

"Meide says moving and preserving the shipwreck would take millions of dollars. At this time, he says the best place for it is on the beach."

Quick question maybe my commonsense ain’t working today but if I’m not mistaken if it’s on a public beach isn’t it open to the public so why would it be a crime to take souvenirs

Fender or pontoon

Could be an old fender or pontoon, used these to keep ships of the quay wall, lots of iron bolts very closely spaced,

Soooo.....another case of the power's that be "protecting" a possible cultural resource....maybe...one day. In the mean time let it rot...cause gawd knows that the private sector would "loot it" right?....sighs

Hey all they need is a bull dozer load it onto a truck bed and haul it away. how hard is it? If not, the rest of us can take our pick of the pieces.

Whats wrong with this picture ? ? ?

Looks like no Archaeological dig I ever saw.

When have any of you seen a dig site that consisted of 2 guys 2 buckets and a shovel... no markers or grids... nothing seems to be being done in a "methodical" way.

For one... there appears to be no screening of removed debris etc.

Just seems very odd and unprofessional.

Sheesh I metal detect with more finesse and method.... looks like a kid digging for a treasure chest or building a sandcastle. heh

Guess this is how its done when you let lighthouse people (whatever that entails) deal with a shipwreck.

Yes, what's up with the police tape? It's not a crime scene.

Lighthouse Archaeology Group are not true archies... apparently they do the bidding of Tallahassee DHR which we all know couldn’t care less about archaeology!
