Needing Another Storm
It looks as if another storm was needed to resurface the secrets and hidden treasures that lay in the Treasure Coast’s waters. It all began when hurricane winds in the 1950 started pushing areas of sand from the dunes that lined the Sebastian Inlet to reveal a shipwreck.
The First Piece of Treasure
Kip Wagner was a local of the Treasure Coast and was the first person to find an actual treasure from the shipwreck. His treasure was a silver coin that was best known as a Spanish peso or dollar. This was a currency that had first been minted in the 15th century.
