pirate gold
Plundered maritime riches
Pirate gold is treasure—coins, bullion, or other valuables—associated with pirates, whether actually plundered by them or imagined in stories of buried chests and secret maps.
The phrase evokes adventure tales more than historical reality: The kids spent the afternoon searching for pirate gold in the backyard.
It suggests something hidden, romantic, and worth seeking.
