![]() ![]() A small piece of material that may be a piece of an old book, a related bookbinder, and a piece of sheepskin parchment with markings that looked like medieval text on it.A yet to be authenticated Roman sword.A Spanish copper coin, believed to be dated to the 17th century.No treasure has ever been found, but some coins and artifacts were supposedly dug up over the years in and around the pit. Areas of interest include the "money pit", Borehole 10-X, Smith's Cove, Site 2, "Nolan's Cross", the "Hatch", and the "Swamp". The series discusses the history of the island, recent discoveries, theories, and earlier investigations of the site. The Curse of Oak Island follows brothers Marty and Rick Lagina, originally from Kingsford, Michigan, through their efforts to find the speculated treasure or historical artifacts believed to be on Oak Island. The tenth season premiered on November 15, 2022. The show features what is known as the Oak Island mystery, showing efforts to search for historical artifacts and treasure. It is an American television production that premiered on the History network on January 6, 2014. So far, treasure hunters have reached around 200 feet down, and yet, the search continues.The Curse of Oak Island is a multi-season reality television series that chronicles an eclectic team of treasure hunters and their search for legendary treasure on Oak Island, off the shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. The most ironic part, though, is that nobody even knows what they are searching for. Among other things, some of the most substantial claims of findings over the years have been slates with unknown etchings and even human remains. At around 100 feet down, and again later on, a tunnel was dug from the nearby beach to the pit, where, once struck, the pit would flood by up to sea level. One of the things I find most interesting is a set of “booby traps” that were set up by the pit’s creators. The treasure hunters have reported finding oak logs, clay, slate, charcoal, and coconut fibers. Every ten feet, a new layer of some sort of obstacle is unearthed. Years and years of excavating the “Money Pit” have resulted in some astonishing discoveries. To this day, the cumulative efforts of over two centuries of treasure hunters still have not recovered the “Oak Island Treasure”. Years later, they returned, this time with professional help, with the goal of finally excavating the treasure they envisioned their since they were young. Realizing that they were in way over their heads, quite literally, the trio gave up. Ten more feet, down 30, and the boys hit some sort of clay layer. ![]() As they kept digging, the boys hit another layer of some obstacle, whether logs or slate. Nonetheless, people seem to agree that there was some sort of layer of items slowing down the boys’ dig.Īfter removing the logs, I’m sure the boys were excited, first thinking that their intuition of something being buried there had been true and, second, that the treasure or whatever it was was right below this obstacle. ![]() Other sources report that it was in fact a layer of slate. According to one source, upon reaching 10 feet deep, the boys hit a layer of oak logs laid in the earth. Now, this is a mystery, and a really old one at that, so keep in mind that different sources report different findings. ![]() Having heard old rumors of pirates in the area, he returned the site with two friends and they began digging. In 1795, a teenage boy named Daniel McGinnis was exploring Oak Island when he spotted a circular depression in the ground by a tree. A small island in Nova Scotia, Oak Island is home to a mystery over two centuries old. The other day, I stumbled upon the inspiration for this series of passion posts: The Oak Island Treasure. I’m not sure what I’ll find, but I do love a good real life mystery. Have you ever found yourself fascinated with a story of adventure? A story of mystery? One that spans years and years and even has taken the lives of people who have previously tried to look for that treasure, to solve that mystery? These adventures, these real life treasure hunts are so exciting to me, and so I’ll devote my new set of passion posts to searching for these famous tales of buried treasures and mysterious clues. ![]()
