The Treasure of Captain William Kidd.

[freeman]

An astute person by now would be thinking 'Hmm, I was just shown something I said didn't exist. What else is out there then that I didn't know about? Maybe I should be circumspect in claiming things because there might be others that do have things I didn't know about and who are watching me destroy my own credibility '.

So you're trying to play "I got the cookie" like Kidd did?
Good luck with that. It didn't work for him either.

If your belief is based on an unconfirmed photo...It's rather thin gravy to base much claim on just yet.

It was not the first time he was claiming buried treasure?

Not 'buried' treasure, Kidd was trying to bargain with the remaining silks, spices, and other valuable cargo that he left behind on the Quedagh Merchant. What Kidd didn't know, was that the men he had left to guard the ship had already sold off this plunder and burned the ship.
