Yes, yes and yes-Anclote is good. Super Low tide on the beachlines would be best. Tarpon Springs. Don't find everything- I'm planning a trip soon.

Here's some info. for you: http://www.treasurelore.com/florida/florida_treasure.htm


Good luck!

I hear the Honeymoon Island may be a productive spot...may pick up a 1731 silver crown or 2014!

Honeymon island is hit almost everyday. Anclote Key is probably good. Some of the barrier sandbars where the people play every weekend

Anclote Key is a Florida State Park, which means the restrictive rules apply... get permission from the ranger before hitting the beach and save yourself a lot of grief.

You need a boat to get to Anclote Key. Do you have a boat?

 

[godisnum1]

Yeah, don't bother with Honeymoon Island... my adopted brother and I detected from the parking lot to the tip of the island, and managed to find a couple clad dimes, can-slaw, and some small pieces of scrap iron. If there were any wreck coins to be found, I should've been swinging my 15" coil instead.

There's so many prospective island areas to search around the Bay area... but like scubasalvor pointed out, you'll need a boat.
