One of the three original discoverers of the Money Pit was Daniel McGinnis, who stated he was drawn to the island when he noticed strange lights appearing on the island just prior to his discovery.
These lights were made by the Freemasons when they returned for their treasure.
I'd hate to speculate that the treasure was of english miners, or from the freemasons who were storing part of the pillaged Cuban stores.....
who steals a spanish boot and leaves it on the island?? and a pair of spanish scissors.
that seems more like a camp with grooming tools and personal items of soldiers who were there.....
they are finding Spanish coins that are of lesser value, used by the 'common' soldiers......not any gold or silver coins....carried by the Pirates and other sailors who had booty.
If the Freemasons pillaged tons of silver and gold, than how come they are finding common spanish coins? used in everyday spanish commerce amongst the lesser ranked?
the stars were not the treasure map, even though they stayed in the same relation in the sky. the whole map rotates and you have to know the exact time and date to find the alignment.......
your map is saying that the stars were in that alignment, according to the direction the boat is laid, and the direction the cross is laid on the island to form a segment of a star chart.
looking at the island I see the coincidence you mention, but which star it points at is a little hard to follow,
@ ROBOT.........what time and date does that make the stars line up to in that area?? you said you are able to find the star charts and find the date? I am just saying that you realize that 'star map' is only a time/date marker and not a charted course to the treasure right??
How long do you suppose that it would take to excavate and refill a hole of this size? How many people would have been involved?
What would be the odds that they'd be noticed?
Why would they bother to backfill the hole after they were done excavating it?
If you were excavating a treasure, in an area where electricity did not exist (and as such the locals would be quite sensitive to lights where they don't belong), would you:
A. Do the work during the day.
B. Do the work at night with hooded light sources.
C. Do the work at night with completely unshielded light sources and let everyone within miles know.
C would be my last choice, but I'm not as smart as a Freemason.
I'm somewhat pleased to see that the "Freemasons funded the Revolutionary War with the Money Pit" theory is no longer being shopped around. We're making progress, however slowly.
Oh blah di Oh blah da.........
I still think you missed something in finding the Star maps to the dates and times of certain placements of other troves.......leading to set sail in the direction of the 7 degree rise, some leagues away, to another island that held the second part of this treasure, the larger part !
I think the Cross was there as you have shown in the stars but they did leave holes drilled in marker stones
what do you think these are for??
to me they are both a direction and a scale on a map of distance to the second location where the trove is located.
I think you are right that there may have been the Freemasons diggin up some booty, but they werent the original money pit makers, and they knew it was a trap as you said.
I think you have a map that is unfinished a part of a larger solve, from the English Bacon/Shakespeare connection, AND a historical fact that someone followed the Freemasons green lights to accidentally trigger the hunt in the pit just afterwards the Freemason's left.
If Washington and his men left so quickly after digging, how did they leave a star chart made of numerous stones in the shape of a cross
I think you have stretched this a little and combined clues from two sources and dates......just saying
Guess you will have to prove that it cannot be anything else but Bacon??
So close minded to think that..... as there is proof that the charted codes in Bacon's Encryption techniques of this area and its location are derived from Poussin's Coded Shepherds of Acadia, created almost a century earlier in France.......
How can you state that there is only one use of the island?
You still havent answered my question? What do you think the holes drilled in the two rocks stood for in the whole map?
While your theories are interesting, you answered only one of my minor questions and only in passing at that. Will you take a shot at the major questions?
This looks like more of what the Star Map shows to me from your layouts.
The Stone Sextant overlays onto these points in the star map
I think your points are off a few degrees and the wrong stars are being used......as well as the fact that these are directional navigational markers that are in a straight line for surveying a path to take in that direction
Some Leagues Away.......

My "Answer" to your "Multiple Choice Major Question" would be "A" "B" and "C" - "Depending" on the "Circumstances".
Any particular theory will provide the circumstances, so feel free to provide a specific answer. Remember, though...the answer must match the theory while not contradicting existing evidence. We can't cherry-pick our facts here. Every piece of evidence must work with every other piece of evidence unless we can conclusively discount said evidence. (The good news is that there's little "evidence" associated with this story that can't be easily discounted, so a specific answer should be quite easy to supply.)
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous “Wit or Ridicule”
My Answers may be:
“A. Do the work during the day.”
The Freemasons could have used a small work force to start and prepare the preliminary work for the “Oak Island’s Tunnels and Shaft” with knowledge and instructions supplied from past “Enlightened Patrons”.
Work may have been done during the day under the guise of scraping the hull of a ship.
The original discovers had reported locating a large bolder in “Smith’s Cove” with a “hand forged iron ring-bolt” inserted in it.
This “ring” was only visible at low tide and may have been used by seafarers to moor and careening "heaving down" their boats.
It would have made a good and accepted moorage for sea boats, due to its proximity to the mainland and the large tide variance in Mahone Bay.
I would “Imagine” that when the main “Flotilla of Ships” arrived, they would have moored farther out to sea, with some of the workforce camped on “Frog Island” and only those day workers doing impending work located on “Oak Island”.
The positioning of these islands (especially Frog Island) to the Mainland offered a reduced exposure to locals seeing any lights, unless someone at night had gone out to sea or avoided and bypassed the posted Sentries on these Islands.
During the 18th Century and without electricity, locals tended not to go out or stray far from their lodgings at night.
Lights seen at night were usually attributed to some sort of encampment or worse, part of evil folk lore.
B. Do the work at night with hooded light sources.
There was only one need for the “Freemasons” to work at night on “Oak Island” and that was to set their markers or relocate these markers if they had been tampered with.
The Celestial Settings of these markers would have been done at “Midnight during the Autumn Equinox” and the use of lanterns would have been necessary.
C. Do the work at night with completely unshielded light sources and let everyone within miles know.
The “Possibility” of “C” was stated to have occurred when the lights from the “American Navy” and “American Freemason Workers” were seen by one of the “Original Discovers”.
These American Ships were safely venturing into British waters protected under the “Treaty of Amity 1794” with the full approval of President George Washington and the Freemasons controlling the Royal Navy out of Halifax.
Their brief stop at “Oak Island” was to “Open” the “Treasure Vault” and “Remove” the “Freemason’s Treasures”.
The “Entry” to the “Treasure Vault” was “Concealed” and its “Contents” were “Whisked” away to their “New Protected Home”.
