It is quite possible that you will make a fortune gambling in a casino, but folklore also tell us about other classical ways to strike gold: Treasures abound, but whether you dig or go scuba diving and find them depends on many factors.

Traditionally it has been thought that most treasures were left by pirates in some sort of stash or cache located on islands with no names, or in the remains of ships that sunk in the middle of apocalyptical storms while they carried the gold that in America was expropriated from Aztecs and Incas alike. In some cases, treasures of this sort have been found, but we have to add that if such ship wrecks are fund, not only precious metals, coins and stones are valuable, but anything found, including muskets, cannons, knifes, cutlasses and even ropes, because those have been found in remarkable states of conservation, in some cases.

But such quests usually require now of vast archaeological expeditions requiring government permits, subsidies and a lot of bureaucracy that makes it very hard to keep some discretion and privacy to work, not to mention the fact that they are simply plain hard to organize. So, while you keep gambling at your casino of choice, you may also begin to explore different alternatives, like trying to find treasures elsewhere and more discretely.

And there is a true tale that may help you: during the first years of the nineteenth century (1805 - 1806) the British successfully seized the Dutch colonies in South Africa, and while they were at it, they decide that after a short hop over the Atlantic, they may do the same on the Viceroyalty of the Rio de La Plata, which belonged to Spain and essentially covered what is now Argentina and Uruguay. So, they tried to invade, twice; and twice they were horribly defeated by the locals and their small garrison.

This was no small enterprise: tens of thousands of British soldiers and a whole fleet took part, and after their second failed attempt, they declined any more participation in the region's affairs. However, the local Spanish Viceroy showed his mettle: Viceroy Sobremonte was a coward from head to toes, and he ran away with the tax money on first sight of the invaders, leaving his subordinates and subjects to entertain the British while he kept busy running and hiding the coffers filled with all the taxes of the last half a year, which were about to be sent to Spain.

The coffers were never recovered; no gold coin was ever seen, and no new fortune arose from that treasure either in Spain, its dominions or former colonies; so it is reasonable to think that the treasure is still intact, somewhere. We are talking about what a government collected during six months, and all this money is still waiting for any explorer to uncover it.
