Certainly makes you wonder what the purpose of all the other holes they have been digging is....
As a teenager I first read the Readers Digest Story and had great dreams of treasure waiting to be found...
Wood platforms, flood tunnels, weird unexplained structures/beach at Smiths Cove, mysterious engraved stone, Mysterious vault, Gold chain recovered... I was very happy when this show first started.
Since the TV series started it motivated me to do quite extensive research on the actual Oak Island history of the search and as with many legends the actual history is very different.
The wood platforms were only found to 20 feet, the carved inscription in the stone never existed (like the legend states) at best a stone was found with a few shallow scotches. The legend of the translation first appeared in a prospectus to raise money for a search in the 1890 ish. There is no name of professor or university of the the claimed translation. No one ever claimed to see that translation on the actual stone.
The flood tunnels are actually naturally occurring cavities/caves/sink holes (cave in pit) all over the area (as also found by Dan with 10X).
The original Chapel never even claimed these things associated with the Legend of the treasure vault. It was his son 35 years later who told these stories when trying to raise money for his own search. The "concrete" is a natural limestone formation as outlined in the extract shown by freeman earlier.
The structures at Smiths Cove were built in the mid 1700s and appear to be the left overs of some industry (naval stores if you listen to J.Steele's explanation).
BUT what a story.....
People searching for a fabled treasure over hundreds of years without a single piece of evidence...
Fortunes spent, lives given.
And who knows maybe this is the last of the only actual treasure ever found on Oak Island....
