Actually the potential for finding things in St. Augustine is pretty high. It is the oldest city in the country (450 years) and is relatively compact still, so much of it is high potential archaeological zones. There are pretty good local regulations governing archaeology, but as the article says, the City Archaeologist can only control property the city owns or perhaps property in some sort of permitting stage.

Wonder what they expect to learn by digging for artifacts? And given the low-probability of finding interesting material on demand, one wonders what will be introduced into the ground before the camera is in place.

This is something all archaeologists should be pretty concerned about, in my humble opinion:
