Almost every famous pirate captain has a legend about a treasure map to his secret stash of booty.
With that said, the romantic in me says that buried treasure may indeed exist.
Some pirate managed to sack and pillage great amounts of gold and silver.
Would he find a place to hide it? Yeah, probably. So maybe somewhere on some spit of land, or hidden in a grave yard, or perhaps in a isolated patch of land near an old port or river bank, a pirate buried a barrel or wooden chest with a bunch of doubloons inside. He probably wouldn’t draw a map to where it was unless he knew he was going to die and was giving his shares to a partner.
But is it possible to find a stash of 1,000 doubloons, or even a couple gold bars buried near an old pirate lair?
it is plausible after two hundred years.
One thing would be certain; the pirate would probably hide the money where it was easy for him to get to it but not easy for others to find. He may also set a trap for suspicious fellows who might be in the area.
