Hi, I just bought the Garrett AT Max. Will you guys let me know from your experience, or even from just reading or hearing others speak of which are the best beaches from “More likely” to “Less likely” to find treasures? Thanks
I drove back up to the treasure coast on Thursday, stayed the night, and metal detected over 10 miles of beach between the two days. I found most of the same, rusted fragments of metal and random junk like fishing lures and even a portion of a dresser drawer a foot deep in the sand, but I did...
I'm Dan, 59 years old, from the Clearwater-Largo, Florida area, and just purchased my first metal detector on Saturday - a Minelab Excalibur II with a lightweight straight shaft. I've been doing my research on the 1715 Fleet wrecks and have familiarized myself with the laws that apply to metal...

I am headed to the east coast of Florida next week to visit relatives and there happens to be a storm currently forecast to impact the Treasure Coast at the same time I will be there. I have some basic information on the 1715 fleet wrecks and where to go, but looking for guidance and advice...

HOWEVER I would love some help with identification... The numbers on the belly are...
Hi folks!
I have been in Florida on vacation detecting whenever I get the opportunity. I was excited to visit the treasure coast, because I have heard about all of the interesting finds. I wanted something interesting to take home AND hopefully I found something. I found a 4-5" half circle...
There are some truly great threads on TNet concerning the 1715 Fleet. Great historical research, great operational discussions about the how, why and where of salvaging in the shallow environs of the Treasure Coast lives here. We see a lot of questions posed here that could be answered by a...
Hello,
I have a writing project for a company where this is one of the topics. Anybody have any more information about this wreck? I understand the
boiler and broken spokes of the paddle are exposed. I don't think any treasure was involved but still it's an interesting wreck.
Pictures of it...
