In 1715, 11 Spanish galleons left Havana Harbor. Their sails picked up the trade winds as they followed the Gulf Stream along the Florida Straits and close the shorelines off Florida?s central east coast. They hoped to remain on a northerly course until ultimately branching off and crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Spain.

None of the ships made it, wrecking and scattering their cargo close to the shorelines from Stuart to Cape Canaveral. Millions of dollars worth of gold and silver coins, jewelry, ship artifacts and other relics were strewn along the east-central coast of Florida. While much has been salvaged from the wrecks, plenty remains ? which means there?s plenty for you to find.

Not only do finds large and small continue on a daily basis, you get to keep what you find on the beaches (note that this is on the beaches only; not in the dunes, the water or any state parks) for a few miles north and south of Sebastian Inlet ? the epicenter of what?s become known as the Treasure Coast. I found my first reale about two miles south of the inlet just above the beach?s high-tide line, where my metal detector also sniffed out a musketball only a few feet farther away.

While a metal detector can help unearth what?s unseen beneath the surface, simply eyeballing the areas as you walk along the surf can be productive. Look for a metallic gleam, of course ? gold ?escudo? coins, priceless necklaces and other jewelry have been found by beachcombers ? but also note anything dark and misshapen such as oxidized silver or other unusual debris
