Buried treasure just seems silly

I mean, who would bury their treasure?  I can see trying to hide it.  But why bury it?  Ben Gunn's re-arrangement of the location of the titular treasure in Treasure Island makes perfect sense.  But of course, he couldn't spend a single coin of it, so it kind of defeats the purpose of squirreling away an ill-gotten investment.

Either way, Treasure Island is worth the read.
