From 1817 to 1822 the famous pirate Jean LaFitte made Galveston, Texas his home and headquarters for a colorful band of "privateers." He called the island, Campeche. LaFitte and his captains raided merchant ships in the Gulf of Mexico and it is believed by many he left a large treasure behind when he left. - Розваги

I know a lady who found several dollar coins at the pass from 1800s, I actually seen and held them in my hand, true story
My ancestors left France and went to the Dominican Republic. Then they went to Cuba. The French were kicked out of Cuba, and went to what is now New Orleans. My grandfather was born on our family's plantation (New Era Plantation), in La Place. This is up the Mississippi River, on River Road, 28 miles from New Orleans. My great grandmother was born on Galveston island in 1876. I've been intrigued with this story for a long time. I've studied it for decades. I believe people have been looking in the wrong place. The history says that pirates were NOT known for burying their treasure. That was created to make the pirate story more interesting. BUT.. if Jean Lafitte DID bury his treasure, I believe I know where it is. I would have made the search, but, not having the funds to do so, is the only reason I haven't solved the mystery of Jean Lafitte's treasure.
Querrás decir que tus ancestros se fueron a Haití ex-colonia francesa no a República Dominicana
The actor portraying Jean at 03.24 was an amazing talent and delightful to work with. I wonder what happened to him and where he is at career wise?
I love it
Recently discovered LaFfite escaped to Cuba with friends who hid him away. One recently discovered letter at Princeton has one man saying "we are hiding mason rouge".
He came back as Lorenzo Phiffer, and lived in Lincolnton NC, his sword is in the free mason lodge there, recently discovered, do aged by Lorenzo as a founding member
Two women just wrote a book and broke the stoty...its amazing
Great
I used to live around Galveston bay area League City, La Porte, Kema, Sea Brook, Webster and Friendswood. . I know of a place I used to play as a kid , It has a spot I believe has some of his treasure buried there. Have always wanted to go back there with a metal detector.
Did you ever go back? And how many years ago!!

No. Life got into the way. The place I had in mind, Is in a subdivision I lived in there when I was a kid. It was called Forestbend. It was on FM528 near Friendswood Texas. One side of the subdivision was bordered by Clear Creek. A creek LaFiet was known to bury treasure on. I used to play in the Forested area that ran along this creek. In one spot there were some odd diggings that looked like they had been there forever. It was a circular trench, About 4 to 5 feet wide, About 8ft deep, And about 50ft across. And there was a mound in the middle of it. And as kids we used it to play "Army" with. But it was defiantly man made, And looked like it had been there forever.
@PatriotJon I'm so obsessed with pirate ☠️ stories and today I visited Jean Lafitte's old ruins in Galveston on 15th and Harborside people tell tales of hearing dogs growling supposed "hell hounds" or black shadow ghost dogs!

There is also another area I would like to check out. It was a small hamlet, or settlement named Hillman Village. It is on Galveston Bay, Just north of Texas City. It is, Or was a little shrimping village, And they had a little seafood store and cafe there and about 10 houses. It was on a creek, That went out to Galveston. And I believe it was settled by some of his Pirate crew. Lafitte sailed up almost every creek that emptied into Galveston bay. And a few of the towns along the bay were an indirect result of his exploration, And hiding his treasures.
@PatriotJon your knowledge is amazing have you read alot of books about Lafitte or do you happen to know someone related to him that has passed this down to you? Very interesting
It’s all in Madagascar
do you have any gold coins?
😊🤓
I love it
Spent a little too much time on the anti-treasure hunters who thinks nobody would bury anything ever especially a pirate.
I grew up in that area. He would sail up Galveston bay, Towing a smaller boat with treasure on it. He would then take the small boat and a few select men, Sail it up the numerous Creeks and Bayous, And Bury his treasures.
Por ladronsuelo y sanguinario permanecerá en el inframundo por la eternidad
