Would I love to see some great treasure pulled out of the ground from Oak Island? Of course I would! One thing I've enjoyed about the Oak Island show is you actually get to see what is going on. As a child reading about it, you just don't grasp everything like you do when you actually see it. This show has provided a lot more 'history' of the island excavations.
Growing up, envisioning the flood tunnels, it was a cut a dry what they looked like and how they operated. However, with the show, I think it's become clear that there are not flood tunnels, but just natural water table issues (they are on an island after all). As a former archaeologist, the first plan of attack would be to locate the flood tunnels at where they start in Smith's Cove. You find them and you can follow them. If I remember correctly, they did the dye test and nothing came of it. When they FINALLY decided to locate the box drains at Smith's Cove, they came up empty. Also, they are drilling holes all over the place, as they don't even know where the original pit is located, so the holes filling with water from flood tunnels is a bit off in my opinion. The odds are against them having all these different holes that still match up with specifically laid out flood tunnels.
The other main thing about the Oak Island Money Pit is the fact that there truly is zero evidence of anything. It's all based on stories. There wasn't a scientific method based excavation that was properly documented. Just stories of what was dug up and found. Lost stones with weird letters, curses, etc. In a court of law, it's nothing more than hearsay. This very well could be an Occam's Razor type situation. Perhaps in the 1790's some people did dig a hole and actually found some treasure. To keep it quiet, they put on a show as if they are still looking, while all the while they already dug everything up. I think stories like these are just like the telephone game you used to play in school. The first person says a phrase to the next person and as it goes further and further down the line, the phrase changes considerably. I remember in college that we stayed at this old house as a base of field operations for our archaeology school. We made up some stories about ghosts and murder happening there that we would tell the college kids the next year that went for the first time. Fast forward 10-15 years down the road, I had to get with my friends to verify that we even started that story, as it had gotten so out of hand with the tellings of it. I think that is what has happened with Oak Island. One story just grew and grew.
Again, I REALLY want to believe there is something hidden there, but the Lagina's have deployed the most scientific and advanced drilling and survey technologies available and still haven't found anything to corroborate a treasure. All they have found is evidence others have spent tons of money digging up the island before them looking for the alleged treasure.
