Granted, so where did all the information concerning pirates burying treasure in Florida originate?
Stories, tales, legends, and lore, and speculation by the writers of treasure books and magazines.
You are aware that most pirate ships conducted their activities under rules and articles that stated what share each and every crewmen would receive from captured plunder, and it would be portioned out soon after it was seized.
While the captain and first mate received the lion's share, each crewman has his own personal share.
I doubt that an entire crew of a pirate ship would bury their gain at a location they never may return, so the question to consider: If treasure was buried, who did it belong to-the captain, first mate, cannoneer and powder monkey?
