Where: Florida · approx. 25.77, -80.19 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Biscayne Bay at the mouth of the Miami River
What turns up: Brand-new 1896 boomtown at the end of Flagler's railroad. Expect earliest-Miami bottles, coins, and construction-era refuse in river-mouth fill and the old Brickell and downtown lots along the bay.
Access: Gray area.
Florida framing: Biscayne Bay bottom and the Miami River bed and 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; the river mouth holds protected prehistoric sites. Uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission. State law protects unmarked burials.
