Q: This hand and the ring it bears was found in a box belonging to Mike Lopez and his sister Maria. (Photo: WTSP) 
  
 When you go in the attic you expect to find something old. What you don't expect to find is treasure. 
  
 "Maybe my great-grandparents were pirates," chuckled Mike Lopez. 
  
 His sister found a box in their grandfather's attic a few weeks ago while doing some spring cleaning. Inside was a tattered map of the Hillsborough River, century-old coins, a family picture and a hand wearing a ring. 
  
 "Maria came across it and once she told me she found a hand in a box. I was totally blown away," said Lopez. 
  
 Great-grandfather's box yields pirate clues 
  
 When Maria and Mike were children, their grandfather would tell them stories about his father, Ernesto Lopez, finding Jose Gaspar's pirate treasure. They took the box to a few antique stores around Tampa and the contents were described as "gruesome and authentic." 
  
 The map is estimated to be from the 1930s. It shows the Tampa area. Lafayette Street is labeled on the map. That road's name was changed to Kennedy Boulevard later. 
  
 The coins are believed to be Spanish and Portuguese from the 18th century. The ring on the hand's ring finger is expected to be from around the same time period. 
  
 In an email to 10 News, Maria wrote, "Either my great-grandfather made the best, most elaborate pirate hoax ever and never shared it with anyone or he really did find some treasure on the Hillsborough River. There's really no way to know which is the case." 
  
 The family thinks the hand belongs to famous Tampa Bay pirate Jose Gaspar. 
  
 "We are not sure what we're going to do with it," said Lopez. "Possibly keep it forever. It's part of our family now." 
  
 Lopez wasn't a fan of pirates when he was growing up. But, now? 
  
 "I'm considering it," he said with a big smile. "I'm considering it."

 The items recently turned up in a box in his late grandparents' attic in Ybor City, along with an old, cryptic map of Tampa. So Lopez took them to the curator of the Tampa Bay History Center to get them checked out. He left, encouraged enough to want to share his news with the public. 
  
 But the curator, Rodney Kite-Powell, said Tuesday that Lopez must have misunderstood. 
  
 The items looked real — as in real Gasparilla mementos from the early 20th century, Kite-Powell said. The coins were corroded, indicating they weren't precious metal. 
  
 And the frayed Tampa map goes back no further than the 1920s. It shows the severed hand about where Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park is now, but it also includes the Cass Street bridge and the minarets of the old Tampa Bay Hotel (now the University of Tampa). The box also contained a picture of the possible owners of this bizarre booty, Ernesto and Ev Lopez, Mike Lopez's great-grandparents. 
  
 The hand, however, remains a macabre mystery. One shriveled finger wore a ring marked, "Gaspar." Kite-Powell said it looked like a mummified monkey hand. "It smelled kind of funny.'' 
  
 The items, which stirred local media interest Tuesday, were not offered to the history center. Had they been, the museum probably would have accepted them, but as Gasparilla relics, Kite-Powell said. 
  
 He also would have paid a visit to the medical examiner's office, he added, "to make sure it was not a real human hand.''

A: 
A woman in Tampa doing some spring cleaning in her grandfather's attic says she found a box with some strange stuff inside, including a severed hand, old-looking coins, and a weathered map, reports USA Today. The woman and her brother say it could be authentic pirate booty that belonged to their great-grandparents, because the box also had a photo of a young couple believed to be them. What it might be instead is merely a "good pirate story," as the headline in the Tampa Bay Times puts it. Start with the hand: Is it real? Not clear. The family gave the curator of the Tampa Bay History Center a peek, and he tells the newspaper it might be a withered monkey hand. (It's not in the center's possession and so hasn't been tested.) One finger has a ring marked "Gaspar," suggesting it's, gasp, the hand of legendary pirate Jose Gaspar. Problem being, nobody's quite sure whether Gaspar was real. So it might be a fake hand of a fake pirate. The coins don't qualify as treasure. "They're a little thin to be Spanish coins or old coins in general," the curator tells WFLA. Plus, they're corroded, suggesting they're not precious metal. The map is of downtown Tampa but no older than the 1920s based on its landmarks, including the Hillsborough River and two bridges. So what gives? "Either my great-grandfather made the best, most elaborate pirate hoax ever and never shared it with anyone or he really did find some treasure on the Hillsborough River," writes Mike Lopez to 10 News. "There's really no way to know which is the case."
