That sand that they dredge up off shore for the beaches. Does it ever contain any good stuff or is it all sifted out?

If it goes over or past a shipwreck from the 1700's...YES.

It's possible - but I think unlikely. JMHO

when they dredge up sand from a area they do a good survey of the bottom to minimise the chance of going over a wreck.

Yep, John thats what happens to me.

We get "new" sand here in the Galveston/ Freeport area after every major storm . Never have found anything hunting the new sand, doesn't mean you shouldn't try though. As John said, you've got to wait a season or two for the drops to build up, or wait for a holiday weekend and be first out.

Listen to therover......we both have done "reale" good at dredged beaches where shipwrecks are offshore....
