So, if the ocean levels have risen post flood, then most of the evidence in the way of sediment would be under the ocean, on the ocean floor.
If the areas we are living on were that high at that time, the of course there would be a dearth of evidence. Archaeologists would be digging in the wrong places. And then they claim the Bible is wrong because they didn’t find evidence for a flood.
How convenient. Dig where there’s not likely to be much or any evidence of a flood and then claim that that’s proof that it never happened.
The more people who get this one, the better. The waters of the flood were extra-terrestrial in nature and the basic volume of water on our planet was greatly increased by the flood. There was a very recent age (Hypsothermal or late Holocene climate optimum) which was much hotter than the present age and which corresponds roughly with the “golden age” of classical literature and the reason Plato and others referred to that as a “golden age” instead of the age when everybody drowned was that it was before the flood and there simply was not as much water. If such an age were to recur now, the beach front could be in Kentucky somewhere.

You're grasping at straws seeking some way, any way, for the global flood myth to be real. It isn't.
A global flood, by definition, covered the entire globe. Biblical scholars even tell us when it occurred, about 4,350 years ago. But that age is only a third of the age since the last ice age (4,350 years vs. some 12,000+ years). The vast majority of the post-glacial sea level rise had occurred prior to that date. (Your straw has blown away in the wind.)
The desperate searching of the flood believers for some corner to hold the evidence is getting ridiculous. Whenever science looks in one place, we are told, "No, its over there!" When we look "over there" its somewhere else again. The evidence is always "Just over there if you'd only look." (There's better evidence for the Easter Bunny; at least there are all those chocolate eggs every spring.)
The global flood as described in the Bible would be the most obvious and easily found event in history. That nobody (except TRVE believers) can find evidence of that event surely must convince any rational individual that something is wrong with the original story.
Yet another way that the flood model is exactly wrong, since sediment layers are thinnest on the ocean floor, and thickest on the continental plates.
