The treasure is there for sure, not only because gold coin finds, but also because 2002 there was a scan of the Island and it showed goldcaches in three different locations, 1 in water and 2 on the land.

The operative word in my opening post was "allegedly" (like "supposedly"). I never said there "was" hoardes of treasure buried there. Don't get your panties in a bunch, guys.

Hmmm...

I hate when my "panties are in a bunch"...

Rash is something of a wicked nature.
