Treasure on Santa Margarita Island
A barefoot boy digging on Santa Margarita finds an iron chest full of gold coins after help from kin and neighbors. The tale shifts from pirate treasure to a mystery: Mexican law claims 25 percent for the government, and authorities link the find to building materials rather than pirate wealth. Separately, four men blasting in Palisades Park confess they hunted for buried treasure after finding a map in New York.
