Jean Lafitte-Calhoun County,Texas-question
Greetings All,
I'm a newbie to metal detecting / treasure hunting. I have, however, been doing a bit of research on a lost treasure, supposidely located not too far from where I live. Jean Lafitte, the 19th Century pirate allegedly buried quite a bit of treasure/loot near the mouth of the Lavaca River in Calhoun County, Texas. Has anyone found this treasure or have any information about this? Here are two links I've found on the web (one from this site): http://www.treasurequestxlt.com/comm...t-towns-4.html Buried Treasures in North America Jean Laffite's Loot Thanks,
