Mick-ler or Mike-ler?
It’s MIke-ler according to the generations of Mickler family members that moved here as early as the 1820s from Germany. Sidney Mickler, built a 600-foot-long fishing pier out of palm logs in the 1930s without power tools at what is now known as Mickler’s Landing Beach in Ponte Vedra Beach.
I recently learned of the old pier at Mickler’s Beach just this week. Tide has been low enough to show the remains of old pier palm logs this week. In 1947 a hurricane destroyed the pier, and a few pilings remain near the entrance.
Once you leave the parking lot here and reach the beach, head south. Below are the treasures to be found just as the first homes have steps to the beach. Here’s to hopefully finding a few sharks teeth too!
Remember you can always text the number below for the location or any clues you might need.
There are two cases at this particular hunt. Note that in each case I have placed $27 and a walking liberty coin in each.
This hunt will require a detector just like the others. Make sure you fill any holes you dig on the beach and many thanks for picking up any trash you find along the way as well. Take a photo of where you find the container and text it to the number found on this site (904-201-9047). Feel free to text for clues as well. Remember all hunts are open to the public.
Good luck and happy hunting!
