45 tons . Yeah right. Ok, for those of you who work around "tonnage" and "heavy equipment" let's have a raise of hands: How much do you believe this was just "buried on Angel Island" in SF bay. Then no doubt you fall for the Oak Island nonsense too.
The un-informed simply have NO IDEA of tons. Look up the # of tons for your car (volkwagon, Toyota, etc...) . Ok now envision carrying that back in the era of hand-labor. Ie.: no forklifts, etc.... No problem, right ? After all "they built the pyramids, right ? (never mind small details of 100 yrs. to do so and entire cities-of-people to do so).
And then to further "cement the certainty", all you have to do is say it's buried in a place where "you'll never get permission to dig" . Then guess what ? THAT ALL THE MORE PROVES the certainty of the treasure. Because the moment someone says "no", is just all-the-more proof of the conspiracy to hide the treasure. Right?
And sure, no one on Angel Island will ever say "yes". Gee I guess my friend didn't get that message.
