Our History
Jonah had every right to profit from the discovery he made as he found the treasure on a public beach. However, he said that it’s the people of Florida’s history, and he, with Cole, weren’t looking to profit from it. He was happy just to collect a little piece of history.
Florida Law
The law that is implemented in Florida stipulates that any treasure hunters that wish to hunt at sea need to have a permit to search in state-owned coastal areas. This entails that treasure found on state property needs to be split between the treasure hunters and the state of Florida.
