In media the goal of every pirate is to plunder shipping for the large wooden chests overflowing with gold, jewels and other valuable trinkets invariably carried by every vessel on the high seas. Mundane cargoes carried in the ships' holds are completely ignored as cackling buccaneers make off with their ill-gotten riches, which they then buried or hid in a cave on a remote island, with only a Treasure Map to remind them of the location. The reality of piracy was a lot more pragmatic. Food, fresh water, weapons and ammunition, timber, ropes, and sails were all of more immediate value to the corsair than a chest full of gold (which, if they ever got any, would promptly be spent on food, fresh water, weapons and ammunition, timber, ropes, and sails, with what was left going to drinking and whoring before they got caught and hanged). These things kept their ships and crews operating outside the reach of the law. In addition, very few cargo vessels carried that kind of wealth. Those that did were warships sailing in groups with enhanced security to fend off any pirates that might attempt an attack. (Certain, more mundane-looking cargoes, mind, might be more valuable than we would think of today—alcohol, fabrics, spices, and various "exotic" items from extremely far afield) Furthermore it was much easier to fence cargo goods than gold and jewels, and even if a pirate found such treasures they might not even understand the value of the items. In one famous case a pirate smashed a large diamond with a hammer because a crew mate got numerous smaller diamonds as his share. Feeling cheated, he smashed the diamond into numerous smaller pieces to make it seem like he got the same amount! Furthermore, pirate ships probably didn't have space for huge chests: real pirate ships were often very small and fast, although a few of the more successful and grandiose pirate captains got quite big ships. Pirates sustained themselves and their vessels by using supplies and cargoes plundered from their victims and selling what they had no use for. This provided the coin for obtaining things they couldn't steal, paying their crews and spending a raucous night enjoying the pleasures of a seedy port. Also, given the fact that piracy was a very high-risk career, there also wasn't much point in caching loot for the purpose of digging it up later: most of them would end up sunk, killed in a boarding action, or hanged long before the planned time to retrieve the treasure came around, so there was no real incentive to not spend it at the first opportunity. But as they say, behind every story is a grain of truth. The idea of pirate gold most likely arose from the "Treasure Fleets" used by the kingdom of Castile-Leon to transport the silver mined in Mexico and Colombia (90% of it from just one mine in Potosi, Colombia) to Seville. On one notable occasion in the 16th century the fleet was scattered by a cyclone, and several ships were picked off by English privateers and Dutch sea beggars, both officially sanctioned by the English government and the Dutch resistance, respectively. Even today, sunken treasure ships are highly sought after by modern treasure hunters. Additionally, the passengers on ships typically carried money in the form of gold or silver, in small quantities. The greatest amount of pirate treasure is said to be on the Swedish island Gotland in the Baltic Sea. Though obviously not the Caribbean type of pirates, generations of vikings buried treasure from their raids to Northern and Eastern Europe and the Black Sea there. See also Inexplicable Treasure Chests what be buried on a Desert Island in The Spanish Main. Has nothing to do with that kind of "Pirate Booty". |

Played straight twice in Swallows and Amazons: In the first book Titty hears burglars hiding Captain Flint's old sea chest on Cormorant Island. The treasure turns out to be the typescript of the Captain's memoirs, which is valuable to him but worthless to the thieves. In Peter Duck the treasure turns out to be a small chest containing a collection of pearls. Valuable enough for a couple of seamen to want to steal and hide, but not an improbable amount of wealth. |

They eventually discover that a large part of it was used to fund Libertalia, a colony for pirates that eventually self destructed.

Talespin: Averted in the Pilot Movie, where Don Karnage's Air Pirates start to raid Shere Khan's cargo planes and ignoring obvious treasures as they look for seemingly worthless items like goldfish bowls. When the robbed crews look on in disbelief, all Karnage would say "Worth is in the eye of me, who is doing the beholding!" Turns out they needed those mundane items to create a massive energy cannon or "Lightning Gun" to attack Cape Suzette. | |

The Simpsons: A brief sight gag shows that the Sea Captain pays his income tax in gold and jewels from a treasure chest. "Yarr, sometimes I wonder why I bother plunderin' at all." Parodied when Bart imagines that a pirate who inquires why the treasure should be buried instead of used is shot— see quote above. |

Averted in Sid Meier's Pirates!, where you mainly raid for cargo, especially sugar, for later resale in ports. However, the other "Top 10 Pirates" all have buried treasures hidden throughout the Caribbean. The manual lampshades and discusses this: an excerpt from "Captain Sydney"'s memoirs points out the problems with burying treasure ("Seems to me that every time they buried their treasure, along'd come some blasted thief to dig it up and steal it."), while another sidebar discusses the historical accuracy, or lack thereof, of buried treasure. The latter sidebar is even titled "Robert Louis Stevenson Has a Lot to Answer For". | |

Played with in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. During the extended diving scene, Ned Land and Conseil find a chest full of treasure in a sunken ship and try to take it before they are almost attacked by a shark. When Ned complains about it afterward Nemo angrily tells him that the purpose of the dive was to collect food, and then proceeds to reveal that he does in fact collect treasure... because he uses it for ballasts. | |

Birds of Prey: Lady Blackhawk (Zinda Blanke) was captured and brainwashed by supervillain Killer Shark into thinking she was his partner, Queen Killer Shark. She helped beat and capture her teammate Huntress (Helena Bertinelli). It was revealed that this Killer Shark was the grandson of the original one that brainwashed her when she battled him in the 40s, and he wanted her to lead him to his grandfather's treasure. She led Killer Shark to his grandfather's treasure, but she broke free of her brainwashing and, with the help of her teammate Huntress defeated Killer Shark. Later while Zinda and Helena are bragging to their friends about defeating Killer Shark, one of their friends asks if they can borrow some of their treasure, implying that they took the treasure Killer Shark wanted for themselves. | |

The Heroic Legend of Arslan: At one point, Arslan and his men are lured away from the city they're running with the directions to a legendary pirate treasure containing a hundred million gold coins. It's actually a trap so that more modern pirates can sack the city while Arslan is out. Which they expected, so they only pretended to buy the story to lure them out. Narsus actually points out that the notion of a treasure of a hundred million coins is absurd to begin with — assuming that much gold even existed in minted currency, it would take a man's lifetime to count that many coins, so how could anyone know how much there was? | |

The multiplayer game Pirates Vikings and Knights has an entire gamemode based around this. Teams must gather the treasure chests scattered across the map and bring them back to their base. Of course, in their voice commands, the Pirate team exclusively refers to these chests as 'Booty'. | |

Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas: The adventure is kicked off when Nobita and Doraemon sees a news report of pirate treasure being discovered in the Pacific, with Nobita immediately dragging Doraemon and his friends, S Hizuka, Suneo and Gian, into a pirate adventure. But then an unexpected time warp displaces the gang to the 16th century, during The Golden Age of Piracy. In the climax once the gang defeats the villainous Cash and his army, and saves their pirate friends, it turns out there is another pile of booty hidden underneath Cash's island. | |

Justified in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, as the pirates are waiting to spend the treasure they gathered as incidentals while reclaiming the cursed coins until they are uncursed (as the curse renders them unable to enjoy anything that they could have bought apart from necessities to keep the ship going). Heck, averting this trope is the very reason they have a problem to begin with, because they spent all of the treasure from a certain raid immediately after finding it, and thus have to go around recollecting all of the coins that comprised it to lift the curse. | |

One Piece: The title actually refers to the fortune of legendary Pirate Gold Roger. Though the exact nature of this "fortune" is the greatest mystery in the series. The only real hints about what it actually is come from two times Oda said that it definiely is a physical reward, and not the whole journey as he does not like that kind of endings. And Whitebeard seems to imply that it does have genuine importance, as "The world will be shaken to the core". Indeed, as of Wano Arc, we know that the treasure actually belonged to Joy Boy, and Roger, upon seeing it, just laughed (hence the name of the island is Laugh Tale) and even lamented about not being a contemporary of Joy Boy. Supporting Whitebeard's statement, Roger also learned about the Will of the D., the Void Century, and the Ancient Weapons, implying the treasure will definitely turn the world upside down. There are, however, other instances of Pirate booty that more fit into the cliche. Nami spent ten years collecting booty stolen from pirates to try and buy back her village from the pirates who had occupied it, only to have it taken by corrupt marines when she almost had enough. The sky island arc is driven by the search for treasure as well, and after saving the entire island from civil war and an evil overlord with a god complex, the Straw Hats decide to steal a whole bunch of treasure from those people they just saved and make off in the night. Made hilarious by the fact that as they made their escape, they were pursued by the sky islanders who they thought were trying to stop them, but were instead attempting to give them a huge golden pillar worth many times that of the loot they'd stolen. To show their appreciation. The islanders eventually gave up and let the Straw Hats think they were being all evil and piratey, much to Robin's amusement (she was the only one who knew) In general, this trope is mostly averted as, while pirates do focus on treasure a lot, they're equally keen on spending it. The only two who really value treasure for its own sake are Nami (who has an obvious Money Fetish) and Buggy (and it's implied that that tendency is a big part of why he's so weak compared to his former Heterosexual Life-Partner Shanks). The Filler Arcs (and TV specials and movies) will usually be a lot more focused on traditionally buried loot, though it's almost a cert the Straw Hats won't be able to keep it by the time the end credits roll. The hoard of one Captain John is said to be second only to the One Piece in its haul, and it's this treasure that Buggy has been hunting since he was a kid. The seemingly useless armband Luffy got from Thriller Bark is actually the key to the map of finding the hoard, and Buggy keeps at it until he decides to go after the One Piece for himself. |

Partners in Crime: In story "The Clergyman's Daughter/The Red House", the detectives suspect that the deceased old lady whose niece hired them to solve the mystery of her house may have buried her missing fortune in the garden, or more likely got the gardener to do it for her. When they question the gardener, however, he tells them he never buried anything. This is because he never buried anything unusual; the tins he was told contained potatoes were a perfectly normal thing to bury. The lady even left a sort of treasure map in the form of a rebus. | |

In Skies of Arcadia, some can be seen in Pirate's Isle. Later subverted. The great Air Pirate Daccat's treasure, hidden at the end of a cave of traps that requires at least two people to get through, turns out to amount to a single coin minted by him and a note to the effect that whoever found it already has the greatest treasure of all: The Power of Friendship. As Vyse puts it, "He probably spent it all while he was alive. You can't take it with you, you know." Ironically, you can sell the coin for quite a bit of money. |

Justified, since he commands an enchanted vessel and many other, smaller ones which do most of the active pirating. |

The Monkey Island series features a number of examples that alternately play it straight or parody it. In The Secret of Monkey Island the treasure of Melee island turned out to be a Fun T-Shirt reading "I found the Treasure of Melee Islandâ„¢, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." In Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, the McGuffin "Big Whoop" turned out to be a worthless ticket for an amusement park, though actually, it was later revealed that the Big Whoop was the entrance to hell, where LeChuck became an immortal Ghost/Zombie/Demon. The trope image is LeChuck's personal horde from The Curse of Monkey Island, which holds everything from gold and jewels to small appliances and a bag of wooden nickels. Later on in Act III, whenever Guybrush successfully raids a pirate ship (to get the money he needs to upgrade his cannons) he'll proudly declare "We're loaded with booty." |
