A real, albeit, small treasure chest on a real small island. You’ll need a boat or kayak for this cache.
José Gaspar, known by his nickname Gasparilla (supposedly lived c. 1756 – 1821), was a purported Spanish pirate, the "last of the Buccaneers," who is claimed to have raided the west coast of Florida during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Though he is a popular figure in Florida folklore, no evidence of his existence appears in writing before the early 20th century. His legend is celebrated every year in Tampa with the Gasparilla Pirate Festival. We who live here in Florida know better. Jose Gaspar was a real person and every once in a while some of his treasure surfaces just to prove us right. On the small Island of Sand Key in Little Cockroach Bay is a REAL treasure chest reportedly left by Jose Gaspar via his old shipmate Seabreezedrive. Inside the treasure chest can be found a real treasure of beads and a pirate jumping bean. Good hunting….. ARGH….
