One book on real sunken treasures that I looked at shows a whole lot of undiscovered wrecks off the reefs of the Florida Keys. That makes sense, because the reefs grow to cover up past wrecks, and nobody's allowed to hack them apart. On of the best things to do is hit the beaches with a metal detector after a big hurricane. People who do this pay close attention to weather maps that show just how the waves crashed ashore throughout a storm. Then they hit the beach immediately afterward, sometimes crowding the place. I've always wanted to try it.

Almost certainly. The pirates who preyed on shipping in the 18th Century and earlier often had to secrete their booty somewhere for later retrieval.
In a percentage of the cases, they were unable to fulfill this ambition, so pirate loot certainly exists at various locations.
A notable likely candidate is Oak Island in Canada, where many years of trial have been unsuccessful in retrieving the bulk of what lies in the "Money Pit" and have bankrupted salvager after salvager.
