Did a Sawpit start the Legend?

With that thinking then maybe the story is true about finding more platforms as they dug down. I can't remember how deep the boys got before they gave up just from a manpower state of digging any deeper and how many layer of wood platforms they claimed to have seen..
Story goes as seeing existing dig marks in the walls as they dug down...

Read it was marks.
Read it was pick marks.
Read it was platforms.
Read it was loose dirt from being a sinkhole.
All uncorroborated.

An amazing coincidence to make a sawpit directly on top of the MP, doncha know?

This Onslow information Crow unearthed - shares and stuff - hints at what we would call Articles of Incorporation. In the US that's necessary at state level to register to do business. Perhaps Canada has a similar system.

Of course it is uncorroborated. No way to corroborate any of that at this point either way of course.. I don't know anything about saw pits but do they typically have a "floor" put in or just the dirt at bottom of it.. My thinking has always been that their had to be some truth to the kids story in order for Onslow to be willing to come in and do their dig. If they didn't find any wood platforms at all how did the story go to convince them to join.. Surely someone would have wanted to see the hole and wood they dug up before calling around to people to join Onslow crew..
