Bring a Shovel to the Beach???

[FloridaTreasureFinder]

In Florida, is it legal to bring a shovel to the beach to dig with? Obviously we would cover the holes we dig, after we do our searching.

Since many beaches are sanded in, I had some thoughts on bringing a shovel, digging down at least 3', and about 3' wide, 4' long!? And doing some searching.

My first thoughts where 1) I must be crazy to dig something big like that!!
2) May take 2 hrs just from start to finish. Finish being cover it all back up & move on.
3) Labor intensive. Do I have a strong back??

How many days do I have to spend digging some of the beaches?? And what about onlookers??

I am a curious person and am not shy about doing something that may seem a little weird. I'd be willing to give it at least one try!! lol..

Your thoughts??

Well, without a shovel, these would never have been recovered. They were at least 3-4 feet down in beds of shells that the sand scoop could not work in.
