I am sure you are able to get a few,. the big ones like Henry Morgan, Blackbead etc, BUT there are also a lot of pirates that you probably don't know about! So Every Monday I am going to start sharing some info on the many lesser known pirates.

Not everything that is missing is gold and silver and jewels! Missing treasure can be anything. The next couple of Thursdays are going to be known as days, feel free to suggest or post your own maybe we can as a team help find one of them!

To start, what about a big one, missing nuclear weapons! Did you know that over the past 80 years or so of the world knowing about the power of the nuclear bomb, the U.S military has LOST six nuclear weapons.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220804-the-lost-nuclear-bombs-that-no-one-can-find

This might be a treasure that we actually want to NOT look for, haha. What do you all think of this ?

The US has lost at least three nuclear bombs that have never been located – they're still out there to this day. How did this happen? Where could they be? And will we ever find them?

What are your thoughts on this? The town council of Lenham in the UK wants to build 5000 new homes, however, the area these homes are expected to be built on could hold a trove of undiscovered archaeological treasures that could be lost and destroyed!
