Undiscovered Pirate Treasure

[The Barricuda]

THE CHINCOTEAGUE CACHE - The year 1750. A letter from London, England.

"To My Brother, George Wilson,

There are three creeks lying 100 paces or more north of the second inlet above Chincoteague Island, Virginia, which is at the southward end of the peninsula. At the head of the third creek to the northward is a bluff facing the Atlantic Ocean with three cedar trees growing on it, each about 1.5 yards apart. Between the trees I buried ten iron bound chests, bars of silver, gold, diamonds and jewels to the sum of 200,000 pounds sterling. Go to the woody knoll secretly and remove the treasure."

This letter resides in the British Naval Records Office. Charles Wilson who wrote the letter was in jail, awaiting hanging (which he was) for the crime of piracy on the high seas. Prison authorities intercepted the letter, so it never reached his brother. Today the treasure would be worth over $1 million. It remains undiscovered.
