My thought as well. If I were to bury treasure, the most important factor would be hiding the location. However, if you are employing pirates, you either have to kill them all afterwards or do something very devious. Perhaps you bury the treasure somewhere else on the island, but construct a flooding pit to convince hunters that they found it, but just can't get to it? Maybe most of your crew thinks the treasure is buried there?

Not to say it just might not exist.

If you were Captain Kidd, how would you hide your stash?

I get a letter of marque, which is apparently what he did but I guess he got greedy and pilfered a few too many non-french vessels.

Otherwise I'd buy a governor or ruler somewhere and keep my valuables there.

Bury in 10 different places with 10 different lackeys. Kill the ones who helped bury the stash that was stolen.
