This locates 14 treasure wrecks along Florida's east coast from Ft. Pierce north to Sebastian inlet. The distance from the traffic light in front of Disney's Vero Beach Resort, North and south, is precisely laid out to each wrecksite, so that visitors can stand on the beach wher the ships came ashore. If you are a metal detecting coin-shooter you will have a ball. Many Spanish treasure coins have been located along these beaches. B & W photo's of coins and trasure recovered will make every treasure hunter mount up and ride off to the beaches.

Review
I have to say that this book is a WINNER! I walked the beaches swinging a metal detector and found my first Spanish silver treasure coin. I am a converted beach hunter, and have since found enough to pay for my metal detector many times over. -- Bill Cassinelli

This review is from: Shipwrecks Near Wabasso Beach (Paperback)
We live here close to Wabasso and have had the opportunity to walk the beaches that the book mentions. Of course as of yet we haven't found any treasure but the book is pretty accurate on the facts, places, etc. It was worth the money and a nice find. Will be checking back for more books on this subject and also about this area of Florida.

This review is from: Shipwrecks Near Wabasso Beach (Paperback)
As some other reviews mention, this does an excellent job of discussing all the different shipwrecks and how to get to where you might be able to see the ships or find treasure. It is a short book, and a pretty quick read, but I was able to find the beaches and exact locations discussed. I combined this book and talking to the locals and had the oceanfront history from Vero Beach to Sebastian Inlet pretty well downpat within a couple of weeks. I walked and metal detected across miles of beach in these couple of weeks, and it gave me a different way of looking at the beach. Even if your just going to visit the Treasure Coast and plan to walk the beaches, this will give you some points of interests besides the norm (condos, houses, restaurants, sea shells, etc.)
