1. Do you think Treasure was ever in the money pit on OI? - Yes
2. Do you think treasure still exists in the money pit? - No
3. Which treasure story that was told did you find the most plausible? - The story told by the sisters (descendants)
4. Which treasure story do you most wish was true? - Knights Templar and religious artifacts
5. What was the reason for the coffer dam at Smiths cove? - Part of a naval stores/fishing/lumber/shipping operation
6. What was the reason for the artificial beach at Smiths cover? - To dry something. Probably seafood
7. What was the source of the original water at 100 ft? - Soil liquefaction caused by earth tremors. Collapsing the roof of one of those underground cavities and causing the soil to fall in.
8. Who built Nolans cross and why?- Slaves under the control of Jesuits that were running the naval stores(or other) operations. Why - Natural stones made a 'off center cross' and they moved some stones to make a perfect cross.

11. What do you believe is the 'most likely' source of the materials they removed from GAL in the last episode? - From the (Truo company I think) earlier searchers that felt the unground rumble it was when there was a collapse of the shafts. This is part of the rubble.

1. Do you think Treasure was ever in the money pit on OI?

Yes. There are too many elaborate imaginative stories to say that there wasn't.


2. Do you think treasure still exists in the money pit?

I do. I think there is a few valuable items left.


3. Which treasure story that was told did you find the most plausible?

The original with the three boys digging the pit. As for who buried it, the English or Spanish.

4. Which treasure story do you most wish was true?

Doesn't matter to me, just solve it.

5. What was the reason for the coffer dam at Smiths cove?

I believe there were traps and the damn helped not only create them, but keep water out while digging.


6. What was the reason for the artificial beach at Smiths cover?

A filter system.

7. What was the source of the original water at 100 ft.

Flood tunnels. The 90 foot stone was a reminder to build the coffer damn before going any further.

8. Who built Nolans cross and why?

Not sure if it is natural or man made.

9. Do you think the 90ft stone was 'authentic or a plant by the treasure seekers?

It was real because of all the things to plant to get investors, a stone would be near the bottom of the list.

10. Do you think the following people still believe there is treasure on OI? Marty? Rick? Dan?

Yes to all, and even if they find it, some people will believe there is more and some will believe it is fake.

11. What do you believe is the 'most likely' source of the materials they removed from GAL in the last episode?

They are from a ship, and are part of the original money pit.

12. Do you believe that there is a need for a season 5 to resolve outstanding questions?

Yes. Send someone down in GAL and get this resolved. 10x is natural IMO and there is nothing there.

1. No

4. Searching for wishes is what gets folks down rabbit holes. Follow the evidence. I'd like it to be the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam.

5. Prior treasure hunters
6. ditto
7. Aquifer
8. Nolan.
9. Rumor it existed was planted . May never have existed.
10. I think they hope. Won't venture to interpret someone else's beliefs.
11. Scrap from prior searches in the backfill when Dunfield plowed back in his excavations. There have been over a dozen "camps" to excavate with lots of timbers and equipment abandoned.
12. I think season 1 would have been sufficient if it was presented properly and they focused on the Island.

What should they do with the 90 degree bracket? I dont even think the coffer dams and trenches exist. The stones appeared naturally placed to me.
