Pirate Set #1 - Trinkets Ahoy! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

RMCDM123: The construction is finally done. After trying to figure out how to put this cache back into place, I have decided to stop it. I can not find a suitable place to place the cache and have not had the time recently to update this. Therefore, it is my regret that this will be available for anyone who would like to cache in this spot.

Thanks for your patience during the construction process.

Farewell.

Geocache Description:

This cache is for those who live in Austin and Ward where there isn't much caching activity.  This one looks kinda like a treasure chest.  Don't let any of the Queen's Rigade spy you.  Just bring the insect repellent.  This is just for fun for the adventurer who just likes the outdoors.  Good Luck!! REMEMBER!! The name of the cache gives a clue to where to look. This one is about hidden treasure. Congrats to Paladinds1961 for FTF!!!

A buried treasure is an important part of the popular beliefs surrounding pirates and Old West outlaws. According to popular conception, criminals and others often buried their stolen fortunes in remote places, intending to return for them later, often with the use of treasure maps. In reality, pirates burying treasure was rare: the only pirate known to have buried treasure was William Kidd, who is believed to have buried at least some of his wealth on Long Island before sailing into New York. Kidd had originally been commissioned as a privateer for England, but his behavior had strayed into outright piracy, and he hoped that his treasure could serve as a bargaining chip in negotiations to avoid punishment. His bid was unsuccessful, however, and Kidd was hanged as a pirate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buried_treasure   "IF  YE  SPY  THE  CHEST...PRETECT  YARS!  HAR!"
