Once again...Why shoe a Baby Ox...Unless it was to work pulling a load...like underground in a tunnel.

yet there is a road there and they have found oxen shoes in and around it.
So much for that expert opinion... Guess he doesn't watch the show...

That is a similar comment by another TN poster who always rants that the experts are wrong when alternative pseudo history claims posted as fact are proven wrong.

Come to think of it - the first time I ever heard the term "baby ox" was on this thread. Ox are sterile so they don't make babies. It's a castrated bull (regular bovine/cattle) which is to make them docile.

Maybe that half "miniature ox shoe" was never used . . . because it wasn't needed . . . and just tossed aside? If it is a partial shoe and not just a scrap of iron shaped somewhat like an ox shoe.

More like pulling wool over one's head, Robot.
Makes one feel a tad sheepish believing in "baby oxen".

LOL...probably in a desperate housewives and secrets of skinwalker ranch shows fanboy group as well....

All credibility was lost when claiming baby ox shoes were relevent when there is no such thing as a baby ox as well as fictional claims of cornish miners on hoax island,,,,

the one was much smaller then some of the others so maybe instead of calling it Baby Ox Shoes they should have just said it was from a small ox.. can everyone live with that... No different then our shoe sizes..

Aye, there's the rub...the fact exist that there is/was indeed, a "pit", or hole in the ground, in which hundreds of people have dumped MILLIONS of dollars into...
There is NO FACTUAL evidence, however, to indicate that ANYTHING of value was EVER originally deposited, or existed at the "bottom" of any such pit.

Indeed, only endless speculation of "maybe if" there is a treasure hidden on Oak Island, "could it" have been bought there by Cornish Tommyknockers, Templars, Sinclair, Freemasons, and whomever else one wishes to imagine.

 

[n2mini]

Even though your quoting a post from 6 moths ago again. Keep in mind the treasure for one has been claimed to have been found by the original 3, ( or atleast some of the family decendents ) and or some speculate the S. Ball found it... Some info here for those thinking he got wealthy from farming cabbage. In the early 1800's Beef sold for 6-8 cents a pound. So a head of cabbage might have been a couple of pennies. It has been written that he used gold coins to shop with in town. Yet gold in 1800 was $19 an once. Don't think anyone was buying cabbage with gold coins back then unless they were planning to feed the whole town...Just something to think about...

Were the cornish tommyknockers templars from the space/time warp tunnel?

LOL....tries to convince others that there is "no such thing as a baby ox". Must think oxen are delivered fully grown....maybe by giant storks ?? Yet he's the one who believes he's credible ?

... some speculate the S. Ball found it...
It has been written that he used gold coins to shop with in town...

When and where was it written that he used "gold coins to shop with in town"?
How many times did he shop in town with gold coins"
What was the origin country of these coins that were written about?
Most likely the coins were British Gold Sovereigns, and not "exotic" gold treasure coins
If they were an unusual coinage for early 19th century Nova Scotia, it would have been noted in these "written" articles.
This gold coin tale has the earmarks of LORE and not fact.

*NOTE* In addition to the oft mentioned cabbage, Samuel Ball raised other crops, had several head of cattle, and cut and sold firewood.
Ball plough his fields with OXEN.
In 1804, he most likely watched the workings of the ONSLOW COMPANY at the "alleged" money pit, and the executor of his Will was Anthony Vaughn, one of the three who found a depression in the ground beginning the treasure story.
Information from:
oakislandsociety.ca/samuel-ball-man-substance-oak-island-1765-1846/

*NOTE* The United States first gold coins($2.50 and $5.00) were issued in 1794 but were kept out of circulation.
Great Britain issued the Gold Sovereign in 1817, with the value of one pound sterling, which was in use in Canada during Samuel Ball's life on Oak Island.
Canada issued their first gold coins in 1912, a $5.00 and $10.00.

With Rick and Marty getting about $200,000 each per show, they have already together made over $50 Million. Who needs to find treasure when wood and dirt pays that kind of a wage. The treasure was never buried on that end of Oak Island. Maybe all the treasure has been recovered over the years but 1/2 of a ship load was still there during the Revolutionary War. May still be there but it was buried on the West End of Oak Island. 5 1/2 ship loads were recovered to finance the American Revolution and there should be about 4 1/2 ship loads still on the islands with another 8 large shiploads of treasure buried during the 17th Century and they are still intact.

In Season 8 the Searchers located several Oxen Shoes....
It has been noted that small oxen were used by Cornish Miners to haul and move "Treasure" within their Small Tunnels!

It has been note that Samuel Ball ploughed his fields with shod oxen, Robot.

Great work if you can get it, and if you can get, please tell us all HOW!

I can't get the treasure on Oak Island as Oak Island Tours owns about all the properties, especially the one where I believe the treasure was buried. I can however locate the treasure from the shoreline without going on Oak Island and give them the location so they can recover the treasure. But that puts no money in my pocket. So let it stay and one day I will go after all the other treasures. And that day is coming soon.

So did millions of Americans...but that is not we are talking about here! or are we?

As I am only interested in actual facts, welcome to my ignore list....
