Keith, dive all you want but I wouldn't take a detector /no detector no hassle... thing is you want find much of anything underwater unless your blowing holes anyway ...  well if you do it will be far and between, perhaps stuck in a crevace or in a sweet spot where the sand isn't too deep.

A hurricane or good 3-5 day Northeastern enough to move some sand around and get you down to the hardpan is always good to move things around and up. There are many areas at all these sites that have been blown thrugh the years and plotted. The areas that haven't been blown are where we blow. Blowing with defectors closer to shore is the key where most boats can't get! Pretty dangerous, best to put out two bow anchors!

It is always dangerous when working close to shore, (useally between reefs) You don't want to wind up on it or beaching your vessel. Not much time to unhook blower and power out. Best to have a spare bow anchor or 2 out. Also with 2 bow anchors out you cover more length of your grid!

Our draft is 3' also but you will have another 4' give or take of blower!
Everyone has their own ideas and opinions as to where the remaining rest, some say as far north as Jacksonville while others say futher south of Ft. Pierce! No one know for sure. Sabastian to Ft Pierce is the best known locations for the 1715. I personally believe a few more are around the Cape, one in deeper waters. I have lobster dived many years in this area with fellow divers and one diver telling me what he thought he saw were bowling balls at ? depth. Still running with this one. Bowling balls in my mind are Cannon balls and large ones!

I know what you mean... Did you get the spot of the bolling balls?... I read after a hurricane they found gold coin on the beach off of cape canaveral... have you heard that as well?
