The beaches around Vero are very sanded in right now. And most have been recently re nourished - including Wabasso beach.

This means the shipwreck coins are likely under 8 to 12 feet of new sand.

That doesn't mean it is hopeless though. If you are at the right place at the right time, you might find something.

To have a better time and find something of value, you may want to head further south to Miami or Lauderdale and hit some of the "high dollar" tourist areas and beaches.

The near naked bodies and oil lathered fingers make for good viewing and jewelry finding. You may hit on a piece that is worth more than a pirate coin.

Also consider the better alternative and hit the Tampa/Clearwater area. Low surf conditions, (often more near those of a large lake), and high tourist counts. The Gulf Coast of Florida is really a great place to treasure hunt and there are some rare findings of Pirate Treasure there too.

Good Luck and Have Fun but be a good Yankee and go back home!!! (Just Kidding - My entire golf group are all from the North and they are great folks. Little strange but great folks.)
