Fact143 How many pirates buried treasure underground?


The answer is technically none however you could argue it is only one because the only known documented evidence of someone burying treasure was actually a Scottish Privateer, a privateer is basically a pirate working for a county's government and navy, normally they are used to capture energy ships during war and Privateers had to carry legal documents conforming (by the government who employed them, that they were operating within the rules of legal warfare and William Kidd the Scottish privateer did bury treasure on Gardiners Island because he travelled to America (New York) however because he was a private, technically no pirate ever buried treasure so, none is the right answer!
