  Check my earlier poastings , "Richard Knight"
 he wrote a book , i think ? HE found the treasure ? and left it there or a good portion of it for the rest of us !?! I think it was  in the South china sea "   Philippines. a small Island there ?
 i agree though, some pics of a big ol chest of pirats gold ... that would do it nicely
   Cool

I don't think Capt Kidd ever made it to the S. China Sea. One so called original map was found in a bottle, in a cave but that was proved to be a hoax. I think Idaho Jones got it right. Kidd never did amass much loot in his brief privateering days.

I didnt have time to look through all the posts but it looks a lot like Okinawa or at least one of the Ryukyu islands. China Sea = East China Sea on modern maps?

  interesting , ive wanted to go there , interesting islands.  That would also be south of China , Sort of.
 Remember if your making the map full of treasure , you probly dont want every one who can se the map to know the precise location! So you add a couple of cryptic clues i guess'> X w k

I believe these are images of the same island.  I think Kid merely scouted the island in the first image, and came ashore at the location on bottom left where a small half circle is attached to the shore line.  He ignored the left third of the island.  However, when he made his kill and needed to unload his loot, he came ashore on the left upper part of the island where a small triangle is attached to the shoreline. No obstructing reefs or rocks are noted. He needed to unload quickly, bury his treasure and leave. He dare not put himself at risk by damaging his ship on reefs or rocks. Three by three feet may be an approximate grid that could be placed over the island to denote distances.  I doubt he would place his treasure in a 3 by 3 feet pit, meaning 9 square feet, unless it was very sandy soil and easily dug.  My feeling is that he carried the treasure further inland and made a much shallow grave....easy in and easy out.  He needed to get the hell out of Dodge.

 interseting theory Eyepatch , but why all the hurry ? IF you had some great amount of loot to stash
 you would need a few hands , to carry it. then with these hands you could easily dig a 3x3 pit. 
 Also you would probly want to do a good job with covering it up leaving no tale tale signs of it being there.  As for the triangle and circle .....  im not too sure?
  Huh?

Why do you claim to have the only real charts but refuse to prove it? Two can play at this, Tony. And don't say that you got them from Kidd. He's been dead a long time, mate.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

knowing how the charts the work  and can find the treasure i can answer any question you have  first of all wood has XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX you cant find any treasure ,first you must have the right copy of the chart and no how big it to make it  i know where to find such a copy and will not tell as books print the charts and leave out important things you will have to find this copy if you are going to look for treasure , i read of XXXXXXXXX people who clame this and that but are so faraway from the treasure i just laugh .if you dont know how to find an untouched copy you are waisting your time . iam now 66 and have studied the charts for years and know every one or have met many people to do with kidd.some thing you did not know no even the XXXXXXXX lets talk about the key chart did you know it has a date on it now that surprised you what date  not telling oh it is under twenty  so i ask the educated how do i find an untouched copy of the chart and how big do i make it
