As a kid growing up i was influenced by movies, books and old timers legends, so my list is.

King Solomon's Mines
 
Rennes le chateau "Holy Blood Holy Grail"

O feiticeiro "portugal"

Island of Corvo treasure

Knight Templars "From Portugal to the Island of the Azores to East Coast of the Americas".

Oak Island "especially Nova Scotia and most of the East Coast"

Nazi treasure "Portugal to the East Coast"

And I know yes I Know but still have to consider Atlantis and Bermuda Triangle.

These are some that I have tried to follow as far as i could except King Solomon's Mines that just got my interest in the subject as a kid.

Hello Seldom

Thats a pretty good list. I must say I tossed and turned a little with Captain Kidd between The Dutchman story being the most famous. But The Dutchman legend is well known all over the world also so it good list indeed.

A few others I see sliped my mind to also.

Interesting to see what people come up with?

Hi.
  The Paper was found about 20 years ago on one of the Islands of the Azores.
The best way to describe, it's paper, believed to be written in Morisco, it was sewn in a burlap pocket, the paper was folded about 1in by 1in unfolded the paper measures 3 by 4in and it was stuffed in a small wooden box with some coins.
But there might be more to the story such as the disappearance of the Templar Fleet "Island of Corvo horseman legend".
I have no idea what the paper says, and yes I have contacted Museums and Universities, any help would be appreciated..
