Had been looking for them for over 10 minutes without spotting a single chest, and then finally I found it: many, many chests in the chasm south of the Whale Shark (if you can't find that one, you really haven't taken a second to look before visiting Wowhead =P). There should be more than enough chests here for you to finish the quest.
Oh yeah! Look at all that booty.

Description
The key to the cage is held by Tony Two-Tusk, the pirate admiral, and he's guarded by ogres that you'll never be able to kill! <Wizzle cries some more and then looks up, an idea forming in his brain.> I've got it! What do all pirates want more than anything else? No, not grog. Something even better... treasure! They had a ship full of treasure that was sunk by a giant whale-shark. The treasure is scattered all over down in the Mirage Abyss to the northwest. Go get it!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Where's Synge?
Hey, <name>, you haven't seen our gunsmith, Synge, have you? I just know that the pirates captured him! He said that he was going to try to sell them some rifles, or something. Would you please look for him up at the Southsea Holdfast to the east?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Two-Tusk Takedown
This treasure's all fake, but it's not like those den whompers are going to know the difference. Stupid ogres! Here's the plan... you head into the Admiral's Den and spread all of this "treasure" around to any ogres that get in your way. Then all you have to do is confront Tony Two-Tusk.
