I don't really understand this post.Technology will become the thing of the future and the walking treasure hunter will be kicked to the curve. The clock is ticking and the only advantage is to learn to decipher all the treasure maps before it's too late. The man who has more money will step in and use technology raking in all the profits. Why wait? Why not learn the secret of ciphering? So you can locate the immediate are and then you won't need the technology that is going to take over the adventure. I don't understand treasure hunters? I don't understand how they don't want to work together? Keep dividing yourself finding nothing and the window will close. By the time that Oak Island figures out that there is no treasure underneath their feet? Some one else will come with technology to show them where the treasure is hidden. At the end they are going to think? How important it would have been to just decipher the ciphers or map.
Walking around with a hobbyist metal detector will never go away as a hobby. Almost no one makes money doing this. Sure there are a few random outliers that find a horde of gold coins in the UK with their toy detectors. The only documented and verified treasure hunters that find real treasure are finding shipwrecks and these are large scale industrial operations. Most of these efforts still don't break even after all of the expenses are tallied. There is no treasure on Oak Island, the money has been made from cable TV subscribers and advertisers. Most treasures were invented to fleece gullible people from their money. Now, is this to say that no buried treasures exist, no it isn't but they are few and far between.
I really don't know what you are talking about with the secret of ciphering?
