Does anyone know if there is access to this beach which is south of New Smyrna and north of Playalinda beach for detectorists or if it is part of the National Seashore which is off limits ?
Well hell , guess no information in here . Was wondering because a friend recently spoke of someone finding a gold coin on the beach , close to the dune line , said there was some pinetree remnants in the dune area or something and observed a possible wreck about two miles north of the nude area at Playalinda Beach . Said there was some type of boat looked to be real old . My concern was if it would be possible since
metal detecting is prohibited on Playalinda , if the nude beach is the end , would the stretch in between be okay to hunt , does anyone know ?
Sorry no one has responded. I can't help you either. I know about the nude beach, but not about the access you want to find out about. Worst comes to worst, ask a local or maybe the local police.
Thanks Treasure Hunter , this response is a little late but hopefully effective because this was last year I heard about this . Recently , like w/i days I heard of someone finding Spanish type coins but w/o metal detector . When I was a kid I remember this boat , during a storm couple years ago I remember hearing of it being exposed and someone doing a story on it then , next day it was gone , amazing how the ocean can pick things up and move them , now you see it - now you don't type scenario . I have become very interested in all this as of late and try to remember history as it gets covered up through building or forgotten to try and come up w/ ideas of places to hunt . I have some interests pertaining to rally point for the Spaniards when their relief came from St. Augustine kinda within this area , Just had to put my feelers out
Well good luck, and if you ever need company give me a shout. I figure only way to find the goodies is to go looking. I am 100% guaranteed not to find anything if I stay home and don't look.
