I watched a similar show on the Travel Channel a couple of weeks ago. One section of it was on a beach in central FL near where some Spanish Inquisition ships had sunk in the 1700's. Some people were finding only coins, but others were coming up with jewelry and other neat items. They said that the best time to go out with your metal detector is right after a storm. It sounds like a fun hobby, and perhaps it could turn a profit.
