In the movies and television, pirates frequently have stashes of treasure hidden somewhere. I assume that is historically accurate. However, these stashes always seem to have mountains of gold, silver, and jewels. There's piles of coins, gold goblets, treasure chests spilling over with crowns, pearl necklaces, and I've even seen the occasional throne chair. How accurate are these depictions? What did a pirates stash actually look like? What's the biggest hoarde of treasure ever found? What kind of stuff was in it?
