Buring the years, 1716 to 1718, Blackbeard, the infamous pirate steered his ship around the North American Atlantic and West Indies Coastline, attacking and scuttling many ships laden with gold, silver, and other treasures from South-America and Mexico on route to Spain.
Blackbeard is said to have boasted about his buried treasure although Blackbeard made no secret of his huge treasure, he never trusted anyone enough to reveal the treasure’s secret location. He was finally caught in 1718 and executed.
Over the years, hundreds of treasure hunters have been searching for it, seeking clues everywhere from Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay to the Caribbean and the Cayman Islands.
Could Blackbeard have made a deal with Robert Maynard, his executioner, take care of his woman, his beloved Aurora de Toledo, and before he died, revealing the location of his treasure to Maynard?

I have an idea! Let’s go treasure hunting…
Very nice story, thank you Andre.
Hello Robin, Nice to hear from you again. Thank you for reading and commenting my friend.
Always Andre you are welcome.
treasure causes us to think, perhaps I am the one to find it.
SOMETIMES WE DO FIND BURIED TREASURE, A GHOST TOLD ME WHERE TO LOOK, AND 400 MILES AWAY, AS SHE SAID, I FOUND IT…
It happens, but many more fail than find treasure.
It is such an exhilarating experience lets hope you do find some. My experience happened back in 1981 and it feels like yesterday. The value was not that much, (about $3000) or R20,000 in South-African currency but the specific, cryptic clues, my wife’s late Grandmother gave me to get to the actual “hidden” spot was absolutely mindblowing. The memory of it all has been a frequent source of comfort, not only to me and my wife but also to my children who all knew beforehand, what I was to do, some 400 miles away. We really do not simply cease to exist, beyond the grave.

lots to unpack there. Sounds like this was a special family moment and I am glad it worked out.
Yes , we are waiting for it
Hello Witty Feeds, are you saying, that you would like to hear my true treasure hunting story?
Since we hear no stories of anyone looking for that treasure I presume it is no longer there!!
Yes I am still looking for the treasure!
I FOUND SOME AND THIS IS WHY I’M ETERNALLY FASCINATED BY THE POSSIBILITY!!!
Are you being serious, Carol? Do you have some idea of its whereabouts?
I think his treasure is still out there waiting to be discovered.
Fascinating! Are you going to look for it, Linda?
No, I’ll leave that to someone else!
Now I am positive that Blackbeard’s treasure must still be out there. I have a feeling that the clues to his treasure might be among all the things that are known and written about him but it would take a long time to research to be sure.
A GHOST TOLD ME WHERE TO LOOK AND I FOUND IT EXACTLY WHERE SHE SAID, 400 MILES AWAY…
