Buried Treasure in Louisiana

Jean Lafitte is considered worldwide to be one of the most prolific pirates of his time. As we all know, Lafitte and his brother Pierre lived in Louisiana beginning in 1810.

The Lafittes ran a warehouse in New Orleans, where they smuggled goods and robbed merchant ships.

Fearful of being caught, they moved their operations to Barataria Island in Louisiana.

To hide their ill-gotten pirate booty from the law, the Lafitte brothers hid it throughout Louisiana, some even here in Acadiana.

Treasureseekr.com reports that there are a total of 23 buried treasures throughout Louisiana.
