#1- Bokeelia
This is a long,narrow island just off the northern end of Big Pine Island.
Local legend has it that this used to be the headquarters for the Bocilla Brothers,who had their own ship but chose to sail with the infamous pirate Jose Gaspar!
At first,they had their headquarters on Cara Pelau Island along with the rest of Gaspar's men until fights began to erupt between the fueding pirate crews!
The Bocilla gang separated and established themselves on Bokeelia.
There have been many old reports going back as far as the early 1900's of 'Chests' being unearted on this island, most of the old stories center around the long forgotten Bocilla village.
The old treasure tales speak of pirate booty being found west of the old village site!
Myself and Treasure Dave both agree that the possibility of a treasure score is excellent in this area.
I've also heard stories of Gold coins being found on and around old Indian Mounds on the island! (We do not advise desecration of old Indian sites!)
