On a similar but slightly different note. Two times while detecting I have had conversations with people that knew about or lived along the coast years ago.

One was a man, now easily in his 40 or more. I was passing by in front of his families beach home they had owned for may generations. He explained how the beach line was located when he was a kid. Definitely much different than today.

The second was a guy MD'ing. He found this huge wrench deep in the sand. Far deeper than a normal detector would hit. He was using some custom equipment he built. We talked for a bit, obviously this man was hardcore and had plans to locate big finds. I applaud him for that. He did mention that the road along the beach in the Sebastian area has been moved from where it originally was. That was the reason for finding the wrench where he did.

PK

Yes, I posted earlier about someone who recovered a Model A wheel from one of the dunes back in the 1970's.

Dug it sometime in 1978 or 1979 from Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Back then, worth $200 - $250. Have not bothered to check its value since then. It is more valuable to me as an accomlishment, or in better words--a goal attained. Story can be found in 1979 Treasure Found magazine. The article is titled, "Where the Coins Are." Although I was searching in the area of an old beachside casino, it was most likely lost by someone playing volleyball at one of the nearby nets.
