Where: Florida · approx. 30.33, -81.66 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on St. Johns River, a broad navigable river near its Atlantic mouth
What turns up: Major river port and the state's largest 19th-century city. Expect saloon and shipping-district bottle dumps, coins, and relics in riverfront fill, especially in areas rebuilt after the 1901 fire.
Access: Gray area.
Florida framing: the St. Johns River bed and the tidelands below the mean high-water line are state-owned sovereignty submerged land where removing historic artifacts is restricted, and Florida law strongly protects archaeological and historical resources on state land. Riverfront uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission. State law protects unmarked burials.
