FWC report Dixie Co. (Suwannee)

DIXIE COUNTY
RPS Officer Justin Allen found an artifact excavation site in north Dixie County on the Suwannee River Water Management State Lands. Officers Justin Allen and Travis Cooper observed an individual going down a dead end road near the excavation site. Both officers tracked the individual and found the individual carrying several car batteries and equipment to the excavation site. The officers confronted the individual at 4
the excavation site and found that it was approximately twenty feet deep and four to five feet wide. The individual stated that he was digging for buried treasure and has been digging there since October 2012. The individual was charged with digging in an archaeological area on state lands, and other charges are pending.

Sounds like he's going to be in trouble.. That's a long time to be digging and not have anybody notice... Does this seem wierd to anybody else?

Tisk ..Tisk..Tisk. I take it he needed car batteries for light at night...and Mabey a pump.

I wonder if this is Theo, 'TheOnLineFisherman', from Tampa. He posted a thread about his treasure-digging opportunities at Fowler's Bluff (south Dixie County); but, he did mention other properties which were further north. Here's that thread: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/north-american-artifacts/330333-suwanee.html

He sure did.

Twenty feet deep and four to five feet wide? Sounds like a very dangerous pit to me. They may have saved this guys life.

Hmm wonder if they get a warrant and seize property from his house .... would be interesting to see what he had found , must have been some killer artifacts he was finding to keep digging for that long

I agree it would be nice to see.

If if he had started more recent, his digging for buried treasure may be more believable the oak island fiasco being so popular.

It would certainly be a better use of time digging. Unreal oak island is even still on the air everything about that show is a joke
