my research suggests it's  buried around 4-6 meters under ground.near a water way



Well you are talking about 13 plus feet don't see that happening. Sorry

First digging a hole that deep close to a large body of water is almost imposable.
Second. No pirate outlaw or common man is going to bury their treasure at that depth. If or when they return to recover it they may not have weeks to try to dig it up.

Yea I have heard that AU but like the western outlaws burning loot at 6 ft I put little faith in it. Pirates were men of the sea and knew the way the landscape can change over night they are not going to put down anything very deep if they plan on recovering it.
On Galveston island or any of the barrier islands along the Gulf coast you can't dig a hole 6 ft deep with a shovel once you get past the top soil you hit wet sand that makes digging imposable.

I think your right because they would have buried things in haste and not want spend too much time diggin coz
they would not want to get caught diggin by anyone else coz then they would have to move it and start all over again.
It just makes sence this way, And any treasure that would have been buried would have been small amounts of personal
hoards than trunks of it and the sheer weight of a trunk would take 6 to 8 people to carry it. then it would'nt be a secrete
anymore would it, These are the things I would be thinking of if I was burying something.

get a good handheld PI unit, or if your not familiar with detectors in general, get a T2, fisher F75, minelab etrac, and hunt your ass off. If  nothing else you'll clean up the trash around there lol
