Any recommendations on shipwreck beaches to metal detect?
 
Red Reef Park in Boca. And the beach in the area of Gumbo Limbo.

Went to Red Reef they have just renourished it with what looked like dredged sand. Found 37 cents but not much trash. Hit 5 ferrous targets dug one it was a fishhook. Lots of big chunks of coral in the renourish sand. Stopped at Ft Pierce Inlet on way back met a newbie from Indiana who had just found what looked like a well worn 8 Reale!

I have no reason to disbelieve this story, especially given the history of the area.

The condition of the coin is interesting...
