Artifact Adventures

Searching for treasure is something that has intrigued the old and young alike since the beginning of time. Now there’s a new way to dig for ancient artifacts right here in Central Florida thanks to Rob Jones, president and founder of The Big Dig Florida, which opened in 2022.

As a lifelong artifact hunter who has spent the last 30-plus years digging for and collecting Florida artifacts, Rob realized there was nothing like this in Florida.

“I wanted to make this thrilling and adventurous experience available to fellow outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs like me who have a passion for ancient Florida Native American relics,” says Rob. “Over the years, I had constantly been approached by people asking where and how to find these treasures, and I wanted to expand the experience outside of the very tightknit artifact community to make it available to more ‘artifact-curious’ people.”
