LOST TREASURE

As in other areas of the US, there are several tales of lost treasure in Rhode Island concerning caches buried for safety.  In many of these stories, people either died or forgot where they buried the stash.  Contributing factors include:  

    1.  Federal laws making possession of gold illegal in the early 1900s

    2.  Distrust of banks during the Great Depression. 

  • There are lots of pirate treasure stories associated with the beaches and inlets of this seacoast state.
  • Pirates' Cave on the southern reaches of Conanicut Island in Narragansett Bay may or may not be aptly designated.
