ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- On the heels of Wednesday night's GOP debate, a local businessman says he's the loser in this contest.

Rob DePiazza owns Screen Arts in St. Augustine, a print shop in business for 35 years.

In January, he was contracted to print off 650 yard signs and...more 10,000 bumper stickers for Newt Gingrich.

Only after he started the work, he started getting nervous.

"I started worrying, because the need for the signs was diminishing rapidly," said DePiazza.

DePiazza says he was contacted by Robert Smith, a St. Augustine resident who had put him in touch with campaigns in the past.

"We had to reproduce the official artwork, and the artwork has the disclaimer on it. Newt.Org, Paid For By Newt 2012," he said.

But when it came time for payment, DePiazza says he got a check from Smith, not the Gingrich campaign.

That check bounced, and Gingrich lost Florida badly.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fl.a -- A piece of history on the First Coast is in need of repair.

The Lightner Museum in St. Augustine has cosmetic and structural damage.

"We have the largest accumulation of late 19th century, early 20th century decorative art in Florida," said Bob Harper,...more the museums executive director as he walked around the museum.

There are paintings, sculpture, and glass, but there's more on display.

The building's disrepair is also in view.

"In a building like this, the movie "The Money Pit" is not far from the truth," Harper quipped.

The building is more than 120 years old, and it's an iconic image of St. Augustine.

Look closely, and you'll see paint is peeling, chunks of plaster have fallen from the ceiling, and the outer walls are cracking. The biggest concerns, though, may be the water leaks.

"The main thing is the roof leaks," Herschel Shephard explained.

Shephard should know. A retired

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- From old cannons to pewter spoons, Starr Cox gets to see a lot of shipwreck discoveries.

"My primary job is to take care of the artifacts we bring up, catalogue them, and document and conserve them if we're going to keep them," Coxx is the Archaeological...more Conservator with the St. Augustine Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program - or LAMP.

She and the rest of the staff come into contact with rare finds from shipwrecks while diving wrecks off the First Coast.

"Everybody's interested in the stuff. Everybody," Cox said. "It's just cool!"

It's so cool that some people have made a business out of it such as Odyssey Marine Exploration in Tampa.  It dives shipwrecks around the world and works with robotic devices in deep waters.  

In 2007, Odyssey found literally tons of coins on a Spanish shipwreck off the Portuguese coast and brought the discovery back to Florida.  It's reportedly worth more than $500 million.  A
