Oak Island the Strange, the Bizarre, and Maybe the "Truth!

and one of the original 3 was part of one or more of those searches, which is how those people came to know of the area to search. Hence the hole the 3 dug to start with. Again. I ask you if not for the original 3 how did those who searched concentrate on the area known as the Money Pit...

That's where a natural sinkhole formed after the last ice age glacier left a chunk of ice that left a void as it melted that eventually subsided in the passing centuries after. Filled in partially with silt and driftwood/fallen trees. As has occurred all over that area of the NorthEast.

I can not post volumes of books it requires for you to read to see things my way. You have to do that for yourself. Good luck.

It has been noted many times over, that your alleged "facts" have no real verified documentation beyond the pulp pseudo-history books for profit that you tout as true history while you you pronounce the professional academic history community, including the Smithsonian, WRONG.
Seeing things your way requires believing that all established history is wrong and believing these nonprofessional uncredited quasi history writers of unproven, unverified and unaccepted speculative fantasies are right.
To do so would require abandoning all reasoning and logic and accepting stories that are no more fancy fairy tales.

What you really need to address, is why the professional academic dismisses the claims if these charlatans, and it has NOTHING to do with "keeping food on the table" as you so cavalierly stated.

Just so happened to fill almost all the way to the top, and if only 10 feet wide and roughly in a circle most trees would have reached across it and not filled it in so good. Ocean water did not reach that high to help it fill in.. but even IF it was a sink hole, once the original 3 did start digging there that is the MP. Regardless
 

A few seasons ago on the show one of the core drills came back with wood and a concrete mixture. The laginas insisted they had hit one corner of the "vault".......yet they didn't take the time to move the drill machine a few feet right and left in an attempt to find the middle of the vault and then dig a hole to withdraw the vast riches inside....

Reason #2073 that the show is scripted fiction...

No basis in fact? What? The article is written by one of the men that helped McGinnis, Vaughn and Smith to dig below the 30 foot level to the 93 feet level.

Did you notice the old man's tale who claimed to be a member of Capt Kidd's crew as the source of the treasure tale?
If this is a "basis in fact", then there was NO Sinclair and his band of merry intrepid Templars bury treasure that included Holy Relics on Oak Island.
That version was creatively fabricated many years later.
 

Sinclair and Templar’s were never on oak island.....yet another fairy tale....

All the tales of Nova Scotia templar castle remains, secret passages in wells, etc. all seem to disappear after the announcement and are never investigated further due to fear the hoaxes will be revealed...
 

Current aquifer. The last glacier moved out 10,000 years ago. Relieved of the pressure of a mile thick ice sheet the ground rose.
 

I might be wrong but I'd think if a sink hole had filled almost all the way up that in 10,000 years later you would not even know it was a depression. It would have blended in with it's surrounds, trees, brush, typical ground coverings etc... No one would have been able to stand there and say hey there is a depression there in the ground, and if the story is remotely true about a tree over hanging the pit with markings on it which led the original 3 to dig there, well of course that could not happen as the pit/sinkhole predated them by 10,000 years you say....

Simple: the 'big find' always happens at the end of the season. Then over the winter, they study and find more promising locations to drill, completely forgetting about what they just found.

If they stated that they had actually drilled into the ACTUAL TREASURE VAULT, what find would be more promising? A gawry bobby dazzler?
 

Alright enough now...WHY don't they just dig a open-pit in the so called "money pit area" ? Pull in a couple D-10 bulldozers,a couple massive earth excavators, a couple Hugh earth moving trucks, and dig an open pit. Say,Fifty yards in Dia. and 150-200 Ft deep. If and when they hit water block it off with the technique they used at Smith's Cove. and continue digging.We have "open Pit" mines here many times deeper and wider .???

Great idea but its already been done several times....no money pit, treasure vault, flood tunnels, etc. were ever found....

Not what I've seen from day one,not even previous diggers went that deep or wide of a pit

Only items ever found on oak island were common items from human habitation. Only thing ever found in treasure digs were tools, timbers, etc. from previous treasure digs...
