I'll post this here since it seems appropriate. I was near the beach doing a job a few weeks ago and noticed a construction project nearby. I went by there this past weekend and noticed the area had been dug up and was paved over but there were people metal detecting piles of sand nearby and the area was roped off.

Seems someone found some musketballs and military buttons and a gold coin or two also while the parking lot was being excavated. This is the part that gets me-
Broward’s archaeological ordinance calls for development activities to cease when artifacts are uncovered during development. Why that did not happen at this site is unclear, and city officials familiar with the project had no comment
Here's the rest of the story-
