Awesome, I love this stuff. Once upon a time I was able to work on some Weeden Island sites, I love the Florida mud and how it preserves all sorts of whatever. Never found anything this cool though.

Wow, that is one narrow canoe.  Am wondering what it's function was; being that long and so narrow would have been a real pain to manuever in any water.  Would have been fast though....a racer???

A Geo/Corolla, a Beamer and a Bug...what's the red one?? Sand has got to be easier to dig that dirt...

I think it might be a pocket rocket (Honda CRX). I always wanted one of those, but it didn't seem like a practical field vehicle.

I think that was just plain 'ol Florida sand beneath the junkyard. Maybe a few rusty bits, but nothing else to speak of. I'm sure the location has been turned into a cell tower site by now.

Never know-Harney Flats looked very much like that photo (minus the junk cars), it was in a guy's back yard.
