Bigdogdad, I don't know that their is gold buried there. Honestly, I am from South Florida and live here, and so I have read up on the treasure legends. This has been one of them. Other than the articles from the 1940's I have not seen anything earlier that points to buried treasure in the glades. I keep searching.
If nothing else, I would think just from what is most probable, I would think the Indians got gold from the spanish and/or US from the wars, battles, etc. They may have buried it as a way to protect it. Just a thought. Others, like ECS and Bigcypresshunter have known of these things far longer than I, for me, I am relatively new to this hobby and the history of any treasure, so I have to remain a bit skeptical yet optimistic.
