ive done alot of research just by googleing anclote river burried treasure and learned that it was said a pirate deposited a cache near 2 freshwater springs along river and was only accessable by canoe, maybe this is it. it would of taken him days to come down river by canoe.

I guess the Monster Energy drink wore off.

Maybe a honey badger hole?

Gopher turtle,taste like chicken

[Bonesquat]

Someone with a bounty hunter was there that didn't know what they were doing, or someone with a Compadre got a good beep and hit the mother-lode a hundred times.

Recheck your towns history to see if there is rumors or facts of burried loot from a robbery or such.

[Michaeltime]

with the holes being deep and wide you have to think maybe he is looking for deep buried treasure, like jars of coins and such. Maybe you will catch someone with the deep seeking attachment for some detectors that has two ends on it to find deep big targets. People in the early days hid their money so they wouldn't be robbed.
M6 Mike Just a guess, don't make sence if looking for old coins dropped long ago.

That is so weird !!! I just recently bought a trail cam through Amazon and also a cable combination lock to prevent theft (unless they have bolt cutters). I would buy/borrow one to see what digging !!

Shame on them for not filling the holes. That's the folks that gives us relic hunters a bad name.

could be looking for mineral deposits

Not sure if your state produces them, but Arkansas produces various gemstones and crystals...and diamonds.

Maybe he is finding some type of gemstone or crystals?

Agatized Coral Fossils



Fossil Agatized Coral is Florida's state stone. The species of coral for the state stone is Montastrea. However, many types of coral species make-up this colorful coral.


They are found in ancient ocean beds, where silica rich groundwater has percolated through them and over time has replaced it's calcium carbonate skeleton with a hard variety of Chalcedony. This leaves the ornamental fossil with a sometimes banded stone look.


It is about 38-25 million years old and from the Oligocene-Miocene period. These fossils are found in a variety of colors- white, gray, brown, black, yellow and red. Different trace minerals in the agate create these colors.



Much of these fossils have been found in the Tampa Bay area, near the Ballast Point. However, more have been found, recently, in North Florida on the Withlacoochee River, in Madison County, Florida.


These excellent prehistoric fossils are sought after by collectors of all types.

Thats why I mentioned mineral deposits in Deleware there are mineral pits near a park I know of and there very big pits and deep.
I found garnets near there and in the pits you can pull out rocks the size of your head sometimes.

that could well be ozarks, a few years back I found a pile of clams that were totaly fossisized. plus it is really sandy in parts (sugar sand) so Iam pretty sure this area was covered by ocean at one time, there is a river that starts from the gulf and is more like a creek where Iam at, I have found several fresh water streams boiling out of ground, I just need to find the guys digging and ask i guess. Ancient Indians were in this area also. Ive always wanted to take a kyak and put it in the river and spend the day kyaking and exploring, the mouth of river is in the gulf as it comes up its brackish and closer to where iam pretty sure its fresh. thanks for info. It is the Anclote river if you want to see it on map.

Quit kidding yourselfs.. We all know what it is.

[flyguy784]

My guess would be fossil shark teeth. I think they're somewhat common down there.
