I think I remember when they found that ship. It was on the waterfront, near the Embarcadero. A lot of that area is actually built on those sunken ships, since several blocks after New Montgomery are actually landfill. The Marina too, is largely built on landfill of wreckage from the '06 quake.
But my neighborhood, the Richmond? Originally sand dunes and cemeteries. I'm sure there's stuff to be found, but the idea of hitting someone's old gravesite, and one barely over a hundred years old at that? Yeeks. They do have some great Native American finds in the museums here, though - some lovely photographs too, of what the area looked like before the Gold Rush, very tiny town, lots of Native American settlement in the area, mostly for fishing in the bay.
