   That’s an awful deep hole to dig…

   you’d think they would have got a powerful magnet down there by now to see if they can get anything.. weirdness.

   If you’ve ever seen the British show time team, you’d have to say that anything down there would have been found by now. There is so much equipment that can be used to see large metal objects under the earth without actually digging… although it is rather deep…

   Interesting stuff though

   Now this is something Scooby Do & Co. would solve in just a day!

   sammy, magnets only work on ferrous (iron) material. Gold or silver wouldn’t be “attracted” to a magnet.

   Just a little FYI on this one regarding the “drains” Woods Hole did a study on them.

   From http://www.criticalenquiry.org/oakisland/whoi.shtml

   The Woods Hole scientists introduced an extremely sensitive dye into Borehole 10-X and then monitored the coastline around the island to check for outflow. Absolutely no dye was detected emerging anywhere around the island despite the fact that the water level in the ‘borehole’ varies with the tide in the same manner as is claimed of the Money Pit. Also, the water in the hole is not actually seawater. Instead it is brackish, indicating that a freshwater ‘lens’ exists on the island, riding atop the surrounding seawater due to the density difference between the two. This is apparently quite common where island geologies are concerned (Aubrey, 2002). If the so-called ‘box drains’ actually existed we would expect to find only seawater in the Pit. Instead, the findings indicate that a subterranean stream, normal water infiltration through the deeper ’sand and boulder’ soils, and/or other natural mechanisms have caused the flooding of the Pit and other shafts.

   This finding is reinforced by the results of side-scan sonar studies that were conducted at the same time. No indications of any sort of channel or ‘drain’ between the Pit area and the shoreline were found. The scientists summarized this finding during the interview by stating that ‘no direct connection to the surrounding ocean was found during the study (Gallo, 2002).’

   Perhaps I’m wrong but I thought that there were other dye studies that showed multiple outlets.

   I grew up In NS and remember hearing about this. People said it was Blackbeard’s treasure. Hope something really cool is down there and I hope they find it.

   Did you know that excavations are about to start up again on Oak Island?

   A new group from Michigan, along with Dan Blankenship (long time Oak Island treasure hunter) have established Oak Island Tours Inc.

   They have recently received their Treasure Trove Licence (necessary to conduct digs) and plan to begin their search very soon. For more information vistit: http://www.oakislandtreasure.co.uk/content/view/36/49/

    Thanks for the update, Jo! I wonder why they don’t just cofferdam the inlets…

    If the Smiths cove dam was to stop water from leaking inland into the flood tunnels beneath Oak Island, then there must be a similar shaft tunnel in the Birch Island triangle, in the inscriptions on the money pit stone found at the 90-foot level distinctly point to the right angle of a triangle. The Birch Island triangles right angle has a similar artificial beach as to the Smiths Cove Beach area; if these two-beach areas are built by the same original builders then they were built for the same purposes. There is visual evidence that shows that there was an ancient flood dam built around the right angle of the Birch Island triangle.

    Since these two beach areas are similar, then flood tunnels run the same depth to the 100-feet level under the Islands, we know this because by the excavations of the Money pit. So what’s ever is in the Birch Island triangle probably goes to the100 ft depth and it has surface shafts inland that more than likely surfaces out of the triangle….. http://www.canadaka.net/blog/oakster

    The Oak Island stone triangle points north with a dividing stone line through it’ directional straight up to the money pit. For some reason the stone triangle also pointed seven degrees west of the money pit, I believe this seven degrees off was because the stone triangle could line up with the two drilled stones at a right angle’ the drilled stones were found north and north east of the money pit.

    the money pit has eluded men for decades, and it seems that so much digging has only hamperd a true find of what may be a treasure trove.. not just in value but history knowledge ect!! the scientists who decipherd the stone tablets read, at 40ft two million will be found, the only problem with this quote, is the oak platforms where discoverd at ten foot levels going down 90ft.. so please why should pirates dig 50ft more for NO reason ? this work must of taken months to complete!! and after all they wernt land lovers.. the sea was there companion, any how more ships to loot out to sea… yours Lawrence…….

    …According to this web page:
    http://www.veling.nl/anne/templars/knight.htm
    …In the fourteenth century, some of the Knights Templar, escaping persecution in Europe, may have come to Nova Scotia with a certain…ah…”Treasure”. Several people have questioned why somebody would create such an elaborate hiding place for, apparently, not very much treasure. Wellll, if what they were trying to hide was *the Holy Grail*…then definately what they created was worth it! - Pudnik….
