If you have Google Earth it has a yardstick function and one can measure the distance from Smith Cove to where the main search for the money pit has been conducted. If there's a flood tunnel... it would have to be at least 550-600' long. That seems a stretch. The elevation of the dig area is only about 30-35' about sea level. So if the Money Pit flooded at 90' that's 60' below sea level.
Obviously something odd happened at Oak Island but I have a hard time believing that if there was a treasure, that someone would go through this effort. If its booby trapped, and the trap was sprung how much harder would it be to retrieve by the people who put it there?
I wonder more about the cave-in pit. There had to be a void to create a cave-in. That's only about 150' from shore, perhaps 200' from the U-shaped structure and about 5' above sea level. There's no need to be 600' from shore if the intent was to dig below sea level.
BTW, was the stone arrow pointing to the money pit area down by Smith Cove or south of the money pit area?
