They will throw you in the back room of the jail.. They dont give permits for dredgeing unless you are a company that puts sand on the beach.

You can use a clam or oyster rake providing you have a valid florida fishing license and you dont go over your limit per day.

Permits from the EPA/DEP and permits from the Army Corps of Engineeers would be needed just to use the unit.

and then there's this
-Digging for artifacts on state lands without a permit from DHR is a third degree felony (Chapters 267.061 and 267.12-13, Florida Statutes, and Rule 1A-32 of the Florida Administrative Code)

So - you just have to watch for a dredging job in that area. Then get a beach chair, six pack, and some company and watch where the stuff goes. Then do your thing.
