So Seafarer Exploration who was recently active North of all that doesn't now own a lease that bans detectors touching low or hi tide? Does Seafarer Exploration not have the same kind of lease in Melbourne Beach Shores as the leases that are South of Chucks Steak House?
Okay thank you. Appreciate it.
Seafarer doesn't have a lease. They have an arrest area (Juno) and a couple (maybe just one) permit through the state. That arrest and the permit have offshore boundaries and don't extend onshore. Safe to detect there as long as it's done according to any local or managing agency restrictions.
Exactly, well put...Even on the Treasure Coast beaches you can hunt from the toe of the dunes to water's edge, just can not put coil in the water if it is a leased area, rest of Fl. beaches you can hunt in the water.
It was so long ago I forget the details. But I tried going through the channels and getting a claim on a shipwreck where I’d seen a massive windlass while diving just 50 yards off shore in Massachusetts. My claim was denied because the “buffer zone” around my site area overlapped the “buffer zone” of another claim which was actively being recovered. Two separate ships mind you. Then I was notified the other party had interest in what I’d found and would like further information. Pffft. Like that was gonna happen. For what it’s worth, I humbly advise to tread lightly around claims, as the authorities will take the side of the people holding a claim. You can get a copy of any claim by request. I forget the actual department name, but I’m sure I asked at the department of marine fisheries and they hooked me up. No pun intended.
