Florida has been known for Spanish shipwrecks off its coast. Stories of pirates and incommunicable treasures are well documented in this State. However, Florida treasures are not just pirate booty. Below are eight areas to search for various treasures in Florida

Dade Battlefield is placed on State rte 476, west of U.S. 301 near Bunnell. In 1835, Seminole Indians massacred Federal soldiers here. It has been reported that the soldiers buried their payroll before the attack. No evidence of the treasure has been reported.

Crystal River State Park is placed two miles west of Crystal River on U.S. 19. Sometime in the middle of 400 Bc and 1200 Ad Indians established this site. The park is off limits to treasure hunters. However, divers have recovered numerous artifacts in the river.

Fort Caroline is placed ten miles East of Jacksonville. Although now gone, the French Huguenots built this site in the 1500's. The Spaniards attacked and killed the inhabitants shortly after the fort was erected. If the site can be placed there may be relics from that era.

Indian Key is placed a few hundred yards from the west end of Upper Matacumbe Key. The Calusa and Matacumbe Indians, as well as the Spaniards used this site. Many shipwrecks that date back to the 1600's are known to be in the waters off Indian Key. For years, treasure hunters have found gold and silver coins, as well as old bottles in this area.

St. George Island is placed in the St. Johns River near Jacksonville. The Spaniards built a fort and a Mission here. Indians raided both places a amount of times. Silver and gold coins have been found on local beaches.

The Florida Keys area has been known as the most effective treasure-hunting site in the northern hemisphere. For centuries, the Spaniards moved their goods along the Florida Keys in the middle of Spain and Mexico. Many times their ships were lost at sea due to violent storms.
To this day, silver, Spanish coins, and gold coins, as well as pieces of gold and silver jewelry, from these wrecks, wash up on the beaches of islands and the coastline of Florida.

The Florida Everglades has many tales of incommunicable treasures. Stories of confederate soldiers and pirates burying treasures have been told for years. One supreme treasure story of this area is the one about Billy Bowlegs. Bowlegs was a very bad pirate who many called a "cutthroat." Apparently, Billy Bowlegs buried treasures near Franklin, Fort San Carlos, and at Santa Rosa Island.

It is prominent that you all the time ask for permission when entering incommunicable property. If you are going on to State or Federal Land, in search for lost treasure, be sure to check with your State laws about any digging.
