One is to not mark your buried treasure stashes with a giant X (that's just a dead giveaway these days).
. But we have noticed (in our extensive pirate research) that if you're careful with your treasure, and you dress in a sassy and intimidating outfit, your plundering days will be much more successful than if you just sail around, guns blazing! Once you're dressed for action, all you'll need are an accessory sword and pistol, and any flashy jewelry to show off what you've plundered, and you'll be on your way to a legendary career of piracy!. If you expect to make it as a successful pirate, there are a couple important guidelines you'd best be aware of. In fact, the best part about being a pirate is that there are no rules to begin with! Just remember to pick something other than an X to mark your loot with.
