WYDAH WRECK OFF CAPE COD

[doubloonhunter]

Has anyone heard of anybody ever finding anything off this wreck site. the wreck is scattered and close to shore plus its only in 13 feet of water right off the beach.. I wonder if anyone has hit the wreck site with good metal detectors over the yrs , especially after a north easter

I'm not sure if anything has ever washed up on the beach after a storm. There is a Whydah Museum on a dock in the heart of Provincetown with items from the Whydah. I went to it 2 years ago and it was pretty interesting. If anyone is ever in the area, it's worth going to. They're still bringing items up.

As I understand it, that wreck is on the National Seashore Park on the Cape. NO metal detecting allowed. Violators will have equipment confiscated and are subject to arrest and fines.

BEST to hit the area at night with night vision goggles.

if its on national seashore, there is a fellow with big kahunas searching for and recovering its treasures on television, as he has been doing every year for a while., with detectors/sonar/etc.....just watched it in the last week or so...............gldhntr
