I love the idea. But, how would it work? If all the dig spots are available to everyone, how will the game know you want your friend Jack Sparrow to have some gold, and thus give him permission to dig up your stash? Or, even if you want your little pirate to dig up your big pirate's gold? I can see it being coded to allow you to dig up your own gold, but having others dig it up would seem problematic?

Maybe allow us to "bury our treasure", but the first person that comes along and hits Shift over the dig spot would get te gold. So, if you wanted to transfer gold, you have your buddy Jack standing there next to you so that he is the first one to try the dig spot and gets the buried treasure.
