I am planning a trip to Fla. to hunt the 1715 Fleet beaches in the next few months.
It is on my list of things I wanted to do when I retire, and I have been retired since 2003, it is time to do it.
I know my chances of finding any 1715 wreck coins are slim to none, but I'm going anyway. It will be a nice vacation for my wife and I. I may even take my 82 year old mother with me and drop her off at my sisters house in Jacksonville, Fla. for a week while I'm treasure hunting.
I am open for any and all suggestions about best time to go there, where to stay, what beaches to concentrate on, local laws, etc.
I know that Gary Drayton and Clive James Clynick are members on the forum, I am currently reading their books, but if they want to offer up any suggestions, I am open.
I would like to hear from any of the other forum members that have hunted these beaches before also.
I plan on taking my excal II and my CZ-6A as well as a couple of other machines for the wife to use on the beach. I will also take a couple of long handled scoops as well as a couple of hand scoops.
I am still in the planning stages, but if my health holds out and barring any unforeseen circumstances it is a go.
