1715 wrecks off Cape Canaveral?

[ourhistory153]

I read a few months ago a story in the paper that Bob Marx was getting permits to do some work off Cape Canaveral.

Anybody done a metal detecting at Playlinda (Canaveral Seashore) and found anything interesting?

I always thought there might be some wrecks from this fleet off the coast of Cape Canaveral. I mean they have only
identified 4 out of 11 so far. Where are the other 7? Anybody want to give some intuitive guesses?

[wreckdiver1715]

Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion sank of the southern shoal of Cape Canaveral in July 1715 with only three survivors during a hurricane. Bob, and others have been trying for many years to get permits to search for shipwrecks off of the Cape.
Metal detecting, even on the beach of the Canaveral National Sea Shore is illeagle.

Nuestra Senora de la Regla - 2 Miles South of Sebastian inlet
Urca de Lima aka Santissima Trinidad - 1.5 Miles South of Ft. Pierce inlet
Nuestra Senora de las Nieves - 2.5 Miles South of Ft. Pierce inlet, 700 yards off the beach
Maria Galante - Never Found
Santo Cristo de San Roman - Just South of Wabasso beach
Nuestra Senora del Carmen - 900 feet off the first green Rio Mar Golf Course
Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion - Never Found
El Senor San Miguel - Never Found
La Olandesa aka San Miguel - Probably between Rio Mar and Sandy Point
El Cievro aka La Galleria - Never Found
Nuestra Senora del Rosario - 500 feet off shore at Sandy Point

I see we wrote about this once before. Any new developments since 2009? Where are the sources for the first item?

What are the ideal conditions for metal detecting on the Treasure.Coast, wind direction etc?
