Here is a link: NPS Archeology Program: State Submerged Resources Laws

Here is a copy and paste from the link: What permits do I need to study shipwrecks?

You need a permit from the state to explore, recover, or salvage abandoned shipwrecks and underwater archeological artifacts. Applicants must have adequate funds, equipment, and facilities to undertake and complete the operation; use accepted techniques of survey, excavation, recovery, recording, preservation, and analysis; and the purpose must further archeological knowledge in the public interest. Applications are sent to the Underwater Archaeology Branch and permits are issued by the Department of Cultural Resources.

Here is a copy and paste from the statutes:

07 NCAC 04R .0706 QUALIFICATIONS FOR PERMITS Applicants for Specific or General Permits to conduct archaeological investigations must be qualified, as evidenced by training, education and experience, possess demonstrable competence in theoretical and methodological design, and in collecting, handling, analyzing, evaluating, and reporting archaeological data, relative to the type and scope of the investigations proposed, and meet the following minimum qualifications: (1) Have a postgraduate degree, or equivalent training and experience, in archaeology, anthropology, history or another related field with a specialization in archaeology; and (2) Have a minimum of one year's experience in conducting basic archaeological field research.

I live in South Carolina which is much more friendly to the amateur than North Carolina, but, even so, any sort of mechanical excavation is illegal without a permit here as well.
