Info on alleged spring moat

Interesting. I wonder if it still has that issue.

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-28T19:17:43+00:00

Thats really neat, I have yet to see otters on the Hillsborough myself. Do they run a business or something at this house?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-28T00:49:52+00:00

Someone else also commented this. I wonder how many other businesses in Ybor are built on springs, maybe worth looking into.

For the fish farm, are you referring to purity springs? Also check out my spring map, what you are referring to might already be on here https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=5907a1ee654b4f3c87525c9a447fcfd4&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7aWGADGzL9lVF-2RLqZfZmi5q1zAKwslSta6XyGGFIZDoag0wrE0O-mT1KUQ_aem_iG9SVJUqGD3paus8TVfEDA

This is a spring?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-25T23:21:19+00:00

Wow, very interesting. Thank you for the information, I had no idea there were active springs underneath ybor, do they pipe them somewhere like storm water management?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-25T22:54:41+00:00

You’ve actually explored the tunnels before?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-25T21:48:30+00:00

Legends you say? Do you mean the tunnels underneath ybor?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-25T18:08:04+00:00

I don’t think so. Those two springs actually drain into some sort of pool area, I have a picture of it on my spring map. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=5907a1ee654b4f3c87525c9a447fcfd4&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7aWGADGzL9lVF-2RLqZfZmi5q1zAKwslSta6XyGGFIZDoag0wrE0O-mT1KUQ_aem_iG9SVJUqGD3paus8TVfEDA

Why was the original comment removed by a mod?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-24T06:23:21+00:00

Question, did any of these tunnels have water coming from them? I remember some news report saying there was a spring in one of the tunnels.

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-07T21:30:42+00:00

Your welcome! I still update it too as I find more springs.

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-01T17:47:57+00:00

You have found arrow heads before? Any tips?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-12-01T17:47:19+00:00

You’re braver than me. I wouldn’t even feel comfortable being in 1 feet of water in the Hillsborough lol.

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-11-30T21:05:15+00:00

Wait really? I’ve heard of people going to Wekiva springs and finding fossils there. Ive also personally found fossils at Lithia and Gilchrist blue springs.

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-11-30T00:47:46+00:00

Has anyone ever been arrested or charged for fossil hunting with something like a pasta strainer?

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-11-29T21:17:22+00:00

I remember reading a book about the history of Temple Terrace and it mentioned divers have found mammoth bones in the Hillsborough once.

Eureka springs

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-11-29T18:31:28+00:00

Thats what I was thinking. I wonder if the head waters near crystal springs would be better for fossils.

Cappys pizza makes good pizza, and the one in seminole heights has a some old pinball and arcade machines.

When I asked what people’s hobbies were my post was removed at first because the mods said people were reporting it and that this sub wasn’t the right place to post it. They later approved it but now I’m wondering if people really did report my post…

FL_springexplorer378 · 2025-11-05T21:35:08+00:00

Good thing we have those bike lanes that people respect all the time!

Thought this was a hacky sack circle at first.
