State of Florida proposed Salvage Rule Change....Request Help!

Dear Fellow Treasure Hunters,

Our legal rights for shipwreck salvage within State waters are at risk!

We need your help to show our opposition to the proposed changes to the State of Florida’s Rule 1A-31.

Please go the to the following link: http://www.melfisher.com/SalvageLaw for complete information.

We are asking everyone to please take a few minutes of your time and send a comment to the State of Florida showing you are against the proposed changes in rule 1A-31 and that you support responsible commercial salvage of historic shipwrecks within Florida’s State waters.

We only have until October 17th so please act soon and get everyone you know to send a comment!

Thank You!

If the state of Florida enforces this :
"...applicant is professionally qualified to conduct the exploratory activities and has provided sufficient evidence of its archaeological ability and skills..."

It would severely limit treasure salvage to Archies only, meaning that no one except Archies could recover sunken treasure. I have gone to the site and replied to them stating my objections....

HIO, As usual, this will also bleed over to land treasures. Once one state does it, the others follow rapidly. . So get to cracking peeps, if you wish to keep detecting. After all, coins minted before 1956, are archaeologically classified thingies and so you are committing a crime by digging one up. Next year it will be coins prior to 1957 and so on each year.

Detecting is only as strong as it's weakest link. Destroy it one link at a time.
