Yep. A great deal of the northern part of TV belonged to the uncle of a close friend of mine, who tells me it was cattle grazing land. My friend used to hunt and fish in this area. The uncle sold the land to Harold Schwartz, original developer of TV.

Being sandy, and undergirded with limestone through which the Florida aquifer flows, there are no mines down there.
