Perdue, strolling with family Wednesday, was among the first to spot the dark shape under shallow water just north of the El Portal approach in Daytona Beach Shores.
He says others got into the water with metal detectors and collected several loose objects.
"Pieces of old copper and things that I guess predate nails, so it looks to be a very, very old ship," Perdue said...
This is well south of where another shipwreck was uncovered in November...

Record numbers of beach goers were reported at the Vero area beaches this year.
Here is the link for more about that
Even though there were more tourists this year, not all beach-goers are tourists. Florida has also been attracting new residents and new condos are being built along the beach.
Residents typically don't lose nearly as much jewelry as tourists and young people on Spring Break. Those living along the beach might visit the beach daily and contribute a lot to the numbers but leave their good jewelry safely at home. Residents and snowbirds will not lose nearly as much as rowdy spring breakers. I once wrote about the cultural and socio-economic differences that affect how much jewelry you will find on beaches. Below are some of my personal observations.
First of all, people of some cultures wear more gold than people from other cultures. And some cultures wear a higher purity of gold. And people from norther climates do not generally wear as much expensive jewelry.
When it comes to losing jewelry, young active people and drunk people lose more than older people. And tourists, being not as familiar with the dangers of slippery-sun block and rough water, and not being eager to leave their fine jewelry in hotel rooms, will lose more than residents.
Going by the number of out-of-state licenses, there are still a lot of snowbirds in the Fort Pierde area.
On my few trips to the beach this year, I have done more hunting for modern jewelry due to beach conditions I found at the local beaches.
Thanks to DJ for both of the above links.
