Yep! Maybe if one of these hurricanes will remove it!

O.K. I just started reading the threads under "Shipwrecks", wish I had read them before I asked my question. I now know where I'm headed and how slim the odds are of actually finding a cob. Still should be fun- Maybe I'll just pick a spot at random on one of the treasure beaches and dig a 10 foot crater. ;D

I'm going to the southeast coast in October and I only get three days to hunt for a cob.
What locations are most likely to produce?
Is this a trick question? :D I think you had little response because there is no answer. The Treasure Beaches run basically from Fort Pierce to Sebastian Inlet. Chances of finding a cob right now on the SE Florida coast in 3 days is slim to none unless we have a storm. Try the surfline with an Excaliber or Pulse unit at the lowest tide. Forget about the dunes. Too much renourishment and windblown sand buildup. You might be better off in the Florida Keys, a beautiful place to visit.

You just never know, some kind soul might just decide to send you a personal e-mail with a
precise location for finding cobs even when no storm is present! ;)

I heard through a reliable source that a gold escudo was found about a foot or so deep at the surfline this past summer. Even though many of us have searched for years with nothing to show, finds are occasionaly still being made. A strong NE or East wind will better your chances.



Oh. I almost forgot. It was the Cabin Wreck.
