ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- The University of Florida is hoping the millions of tourists who visit the Sunshine State each year will see more than the theme parks.

The school wants them to see St. Augustine as well.

Archaeologist Kathy Deagan has worked digs all over the Fountain of Youth park since the 1970s, but the current dig is blowing her mind.

"We almost can't believe it ourselves," Deagan beamed. "After 37 years of working here, and to find this now!"

This is the first time in 60 years anyone has dug this part of the park.

She and her team are finding discoloration in the soil in certain patterns, which indicates a fortification structure was on the site. It could possibly even have been a fort that no one knew about here, dating back to 1565 when Pedro Menendez settled and founded St. Augustine.

This discovery changes things, Deagan said.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- An iconic movie theater on the First Coast is closing its doors.

After 36 years in business, the owners of Pot Belly's Movie Theater in St. Augustine are retiring.

For years it was the only movie theater in the old town.

It was also a place for owner Kenny Pierce to show off his massive collections of all kinds of things including movie memorabilia, lunch boxes, toy cars and model planes.

Owner Kenny Pierce says it's time he and his wife got some rest, and most of the collectibles will be sold at auction.

Pierce said, "I'm going to be 72 years old this Thursday. The kids couldn't handle all this. It's just too much stuff. What do you do? Do you store it? I've got two sheds already full of it!"

The auction will be Saturday, April 26
at Pot Belly's in St. Augustine.
