    This may be the wreck where the survivor's walked 3 Hours to St Augustine from around 1680's . Found using a cheap metal detector & can only dig at extreme low tide . Lots of sand fills in but cannot get equipment to the beach. Readings on detector SILVER in lots of places Med gold objects and Large 4 ft area iron ? Needed assistant I cannot get anything up alone ?? Who do I trust ...

    Re: North Florida Beach wreck

    I live in callahan * florida -- above jax -- northeast florida fer sure. --- hope the spots not on the south tip of amelia island or northern area of talbot island (nassau sound area) as its off limits legally to metal detecting there (trust me I know -- sadly there is lots of treasure there that you can not "legally" get to --states got you "blocked" there by law ) -- but if its not there then your most likely in good shape *

    if its close to the fernandina or jacksonville area to the st augustine area most likely i can hekp out

    Congratulations on your find. I presume this is not the Amelia Island wreck? What years have you found on any coins? Contact me if possible.

    A couple things don't really check here.
    "Cheap detectors" aren't exactly renowned for being able to disc out wet saltwater sand (re: "extreme low tide"). Further, I'm unaware of any "cheap detectors" that will give you sufficient depth on a hit where you wouldn't be able to just dig it out with your hands, so, if you're getting hits on gold and silver objects with your cheap detector, there's no reason why you shouldn't have recovered them.
