Geocache Description:


Only a few nautical miles from the Atlantic Ocean just inside Sebastian Inlet, once lay a little known island named Mullet Cay; now divided into 10 separate spoil islands along the intracoastal waterway off of the modern day city of Floridana, Florida.

During the summer of 1791, five notorious pirate captains met on the island to make an agreement never to attack each other. As a gesture of good faith, each took with them a bag of personal treasure to be buried on the island. If any of the five were to be killed, their treasure was to be divided between those who remained.

Each of the pirate captains buried his treasure in an individual plot and a map was drawn, showing the locations. There were just five copies of the map, of which each captain had one. Within two years of the meeting, all five pirates were dead! Either killed in action or taken by the authorities and executed.

There were many rumors about the meeting on Mullet Island, but no one knew the whereabouts of the treasure or who held any of the maps. After the Siege of Mullet Cay by Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew, all hope that there was treasure buried on the island was abandoned. The story was consigned to myth and legend.

What with the main island now split into ten small isles, there is little hope of finding even a trace of the treasure that once lay buried along this coast.

You are searching for large camo’d ammo box filled with kewl geo-swag, a log book and a pen.
