The Treasure of Captain William Kidd.

[Randawg72]

I have a great interest in the treasure "Lodged" by Captain Kidd. I believe the treasure exists, and that the "Kidd/Palmer" charts are authentic, and I do Not believe the treasure is located anywhere near the America's nor the China Sea. I may (or may not) have solved some of the clues in this 328 year old mystery, and am interested in the opinions and input of like minded treasure hunters.

Here are several maps that resemble your island, from The Great Lost Treasure website.

I only believe the Kidd/Palmer charts were drawn by Kidd. Of those, you have shown three (albeit one is upside-down). Do you have an opinion of which island it could be?

Ahoy - I believe Wilkins drew those "charts" himself. He is a remarkably unreliable author.

Good luck to all,

In the book "Captain Kidd and his Skeleton Island " Palmer refused publication of the Kidd charts, so Wilkins drew his own. The charts that I posted never appeared in any of Harold T. Wilkins books.

They did,, you can find them shown in photgraphs in his books.. Here is WILKINS admitting he drew them to an associate via a postcard to explain what was going on.

He didn't publish this postcard in any of his books which is why you aren't aware it exists: he only published in his books what he wanted people to see AND THEN BELIEVE WITHOUT FURTHER CHECKING.

I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. I assure you Wilkins had no photographs of Kidd's charts. The charts I referenced were unseen by the public until Hubert Palmer's death in 1949, and remained unpublished until they were eventually sold at auction in 1957.

(PS: Wilkins was shown the charts by Palmer. The infamous drawing that you attached was (horribly) drawn by Wilkins from memory).

Lol, nah.

You'll find them if you look hard enough; the photos of Hubert Palmer showing how he found the maps. You will see them there.

Wilkins also did a complete chapter about how to draw a fake treasure map. It's worth reading. A hint though it's not in the book you seem intent on.

Don't make the mistake of saying something doesn't exist just because you haven't seen it. If it does exist it then reveals the lack of research depth of the one asserting it doesn't.

I recommend also reading the chapter Wilkins wrote containing the instructions about how to draw a fake treasure map and then feeding it out to the gullible so they think it is real.

Said chapter is just not in the book your are relying on.....
