Please provide your link to indicate this. I have never seen it recorded anywhere that they successfully dug to the bottom of the money pit. Even when they had all the heavy equipment they were not able to successfully dig past the flood pit levels. Maybe you are being confused with them "drilling" past the flood levels. Those results were just to sample test what was past the levels they could not get to.

Dunfield dug as deep as he wanted and there was nothing stopping him. There was nothing to be found.... A digging crane with a clam bucket does not have any trouble with water in the hole. They are used to dig bridge footings underwater

Its a childhood fantasy and thats all. No one is digging flood tunnels in porous rock holding there breath. There is absolutely no way to keep the water from flooding them while they would be dug. I owned a well drilling rig and I can say with utmost certainty there is no way to stop the water outside of freezing the ground. Maybe aliens did it with freeze ray.... :laughing7:
 

The water pressure would not be very high. If the finger drains were at high tide. The high tide pushes the water on top of the fibers and grass. The water soaks the grass and then continues through the finger drains to the money pit. When the tide drops the soaked grass and fibers dry in the sun leaving salt deposits. The following tide dissolves the salt deposits from the previous high tide witch slowly concentrates the salt levels and slowly filling the money pit. The money pit eventually fills to sea level. Once the money pit has reached sea level It works like a percolator continuing to increase the salt levels in the water. Now that the water is highly concentrated it requires a lot less fuel per pound of salt.

ok that is fine by me but there was never treasure on the island . the water tubes are all natural volcanic tubes for ages ago .
the tubes are not man made .
 

http://www.oakislandtreasure.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/10xarticle07121971.pdf It is very interesting that this contemporary account of the first dives in 10x shows how brave Dan and his mate were. The article does quote the divers as finding a man made flood tunnel which caused 10x to flood and that Dan stopped the flooding by bulldozing mud over smith cove beach (well stopped the water rushing) If the things reported in this contemporary article from the eye witnesses at the time it is easy to see why it appears that man has had a hand in the flooding. It is really a mater of which reported "facts" are accepted as true...
 

Cool Thanks :thumbsup:

Yea I Don't know. I still have my Doubts on Blankenship's veracity.
I'd like confirmation from someone unconnected

it is one thing to say and it is another thing to be fact but no question and no argument . just know how the stories have changed over the years
about who buried stuff and when and why , also saw lot of promotions and talk change year by year . Bacon was brought up, pirates , and now
it is knights stuff . every season a big promotion to bring tourist to the island for a tour . it is clear that the true money is in books tours film
and tourist dollars . because no money has come up from the digging . you can get investors to pay you to dig in the off season and in the tourist season sell tickets for tours . read the oak island forum you posted . it is all over those threads , come take a tour , looking for investors , new season show coming up is on this forum so it is on many forums . it is ok to promote , not so good to lie to public . so we can't prove it is true and we can't prove it's a lie . The Artifacts can be faked easily like all treasure stories .

At this point I would say there is more evidence indicating that any claims to any treasure are in fact a lie, Non of their claims have been verified.

If they want to sell tours on the history of what has been attempted and recorded in history, fine. But personally this whole legend should have been put to rest when Dunfield dug up the island. In most history reports his excavations are often the least described, which indicates to me that they are intentionally trying to keep the "lies" going. His findings should be the largest historical record as they were the most extensive and most conclusive, not to mention most educated/scientific.

I'll admit, I have always been thrilled by the excitment of getting to the bottom of the stories and will admit that it is depressing to no longer have anything left unexplained but it hurts less than being misled and almost tricked that what happend in the 1960's wasn't significant.

There is no need to drag this further to the point where we lose the truth in history because it is buried in lies and rediculous claims.

Show is completely for pure entertainment, there is nothing to the story itself, sort of like watching Alaskan Bush People.
 

Not true. People with pork chop side burns live in forests every where in the world.

yes you said everything just as i think too . there are many people who dig and dig all over near my house looking for stuff that was just
a myth told by old saloon drunks 130 years ago .
i guess i don't like that and that is why i say it is bad . poor people ruin their lives dreaming of riches sometimes .

So you just want them to give up. Because you are 100% sure that all the reported stuff over history is just a big lie. And we already have the answer... I hope they do not listen to people like yourself because I want them to find and dig the pit so history will finally have the answer.... There is a mystery to oak island and i hope marty and rick can finally solve it...

It's already been dug! Have you missed that? The entire area was strip mined and they found nothing. There was never a treasure buried in the "pit" You want people to keep throwing away money so you can live vicariously through them. :BangHead:
 

People arent as aware of whats been done on the island as the people that were there working on it. I dont generally see anything to make one believe there ever was a treasure except maybe for a small random pirates booty that the slave guy found and gave himself a wealthy life.

Looking at the clues which are transparent. Kids saw lights in woods, coconut strands on a beach which could have been the result of a natural current...(I know because my backyard has a natural air current which produces weekly blown in garbage), a pit which could have been a fish smoking pit that got over-exaggerated....they dug a pit and found nothing. Ok they found 3 links of a gold chain that prob fell off a wealthy investor who was leaning over the pit... ..an engraved stone that tells of riches below that just SCREAMS please buy this island that i lost my millionaires fortune on.

I see nothing to believe theres anything true there. But I like the show for entertainment value....its why I went to a bigfoot convention last year, because its funny to watch wierd guys tell each other stories about seeing bigfoot that they both made up.....and so I wonder, do they know they are lying to eachother?
 

Dunfield never got the Money Pit completely dug to "whatever" the distance that most claim a treasure to be at. It filled with water and he gave up. Granted everything within a 50' radius ( and probably more ) of the Money Pit had been destroyed, which is why I don't think the brothers have found the Hedden Shaft..

that's what I originally thought too because his findings are barely mentioned in most places. However he did dig the entire pit 100 feet wide and to the depth's well past anywhere that previous excavations had been attempted. He found nothing. Go back a few pages and I provided some links. The treasure was thought to be around the 100ft mark and he dug to 140ft.

He did not give up and the pit did not fill with water to point of preventing him. He found no evidence of any flood tunnels and proved that the water influx was coming from below the pit, as it would naturally.

If someone today dug up the whole island and said they found nothing, then filled it back in, would you still believe that its possible that something was missed? That is essentially what Dunfield did in the area surrounding the money pit and that is the common thought of most people because his findings are not highlighted.

The only explanation is that Dunfield was never there and didn't do any excessive digging...but if that were the case then we wouldn't have the causeway and the island wouldn't big a big mess with no more markers. Maybe it's good that we don't have some of the markers, that way no one wastes anymore money and time digging what has ALREADY been dug. I never understood why he wouldn't leave some markers if there was still areas that were not fully excavated, but then it makes sense to remove the marker if the area has been fully investigated.
