Where: Florida · approx. 27.95, -82.46 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Hillsborough Bay at the head of Tampa Bay, at the mouth of the Hillsborough River
What turns up: Cigar City. Expect Hutchinson sodas, Cuban and Spanish coins, cigar-factory and saloon refuse, and privy dumps in the Ybor City and downtown waterfront blocks near the river mouth.
Access: Gray area.
Florida framing: Tampa Bay bottom and the tidelands below the mean high-water line are state-owned sovereignty submerged land with restricted artifact removal, and Florida law strongly protects archaeological and historical resources on state land. Downtown and Ybor uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission. State law protects unmarked burials.
