Description and history of Spanish galleons that sank along Florida's east coast between Ft. Pierce and Sebastian inlet, and exact location of the sites based on mileage from Walt Disney Resort located in Wabasso. Photo's of treasure recovered.

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.

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.)

These authors put together one of the most practical, hands on treasure books out there. It's my favorite and a great resource.

I bought this formy Husband, we spend the Winters in this area and he metaldetects. It was a great book for him, I bought several other books about the same thing and all were read thoroughly. Amazon makes finding and ordering books so easy.

For someone like me that's interested in that area, it was very informative.
