Six Buried Treasure Spots in Acadiana and What They're Worth

According to treasure hunters, Jean Lafitte has numerous buried treasure throughout Louisiana with six potential hidden jackpots right here in Acadiana. Here's where to look and how much they're supposed to be worth.

Jean Lafitte is known around the world as one of the most prolific pirates of his era. As we all know, Lafitte and his brother Pierre called Louisiana home beginning in 1810.

The Lafittes operated a warehouse in New Orleans where they smuggled goods and robbed merchant ships.

Afraid they might get caught, they moved their operations to the island of Barataria, Louisiana.

In an effort to hide their ill-gotten pirate booty from the law, the Lafitte brothers stashed it all over Louisiana, even some right here in Acadiana.
