The Oak Island Crew Made A MASSIVE Discovery Near Nolan’s Cross!

There there you go, yeah, there it is. Now you can see it going across, hopeful that Mike and Mark will be able to give us some information from the stones. You know, might it lead to treasure? I don’t know. Might it lead to other discovery agendas? I don’t know, but we have to start somewhere, and the place to start is with experts.

Some of the most shocking discoveries on Oak Island have been found near Nolan’s Cross, a mysterious formation that has puzzled experts for years. Could it be more than just a natural arrangement of stones? Some believe it marks the location of something hidden, something big. Strange carvings, ancient artifacts, and even signs of a lost treasure have all been uncovered in this area.

Today, we are taking a deep dive into some of the craziest discoveries made near Nolan’s Cross, one of which might just change everything we thought we knew about Oak and the formation of Nolan’s Cross in the mysterious headstone in the world of Oak Island Mysteries.

Few discoveries have sparked as much debate as Nolan’s Cross. Back in 1981, land surveyor and treasure hunter Fred Nolan stumbled upon something that seemed too precise to be natural: five massive cone-shaped boulders, each carefully positioned on his property. When mapped out, these stones formed a perfectly symmetrical cross, stretching over 700 ft in one direction and over 800 ft in another. That alone was strange enough, but what made this discovery even more baffling was what Nolan found buried at the very center of the cross. Digging down, he uncovered a sixth boulder, one that looked eerily different from the others. While the five original stones were shaped like cones, this one was something else entirely. It was flatter, smoother, and most bizarrely, it had features that looked carved. To Nolan’s trained eye, it didn’t seem like just another random rock—it resembled a human head. The stone had indentations where eyes, a nose, and even a mouth would be, almost as if someone had deliberately sculpted it. If that was true, then the real question was, who did it and why?

As news of Nolan’s discovery spread, theories exploded. Some believe that the cross wasn’t just a random collection of stones but a deliberate marker—perhaps even a land-based version of the legendary Templar cross, left behind by the Knights Templar centuries ago. But there was another, even wilder theory. Some researchers suggested that the cross wasn’t a cross at all but something even older: an ancient symbol known as the Tree of Life, which appears in Hebraic traditions as a representation of spiritual knowledge and the 10 Divine principles that govern the universe. That theory gained even more traction when smaller flat-sided stones were found at the exact positions where elements of the Tree of Life should be. Could this be evidence that Oak Island was tied to some long-lost ancient order?

But if Nolan’s Cross was truly a marker for something hidden, what was it pointing to? Over the years, multiple scans and digs have been conducted around the area, but no definitive treasure has been found. Still, many believe that the headstone at the center holds the key to something bigger. Its unusual shape, the fact that it doesn’t match the other stones, and its placement at the intersection of the cross have led some to speculate that it could be a clue—one left behind to guide treasure hunters towards something even greater. If that’s true, then someone went to a lot of trouble to mark this spot. But here’s the thing: What if these stones weren’t just arranged in a pattern? What if they were actually moved into place, dragged across the island for a specific purpose? That’s exactly what the next discovery might suggest.

The enigmatic markings on the bottom boulder. For decades, treasure hunters have combed Oak Island searching for any trace of the legendary lost fortune, but sometimes the biggest clues are hiding in plain sight. That was exactly the case when experts took a closer look at the massive boulders forming Nolan’s Cross. At first glance, they appeared like any other natural stone formations—rough, weathered, and shaped by centuries of exposure to the elements. But when stonemasons Mike Welling and Mark V were invited to inspect them, one particular boulder stood out in a way no one expected. It was positioned at the very bottom of Nolan’s Cross, like the foundation of a massive structure. Unlike the others, which were rugged and uneven, though, the stone had an oddly smooth surface. So smooth that it looked completely unnatural. This was unusual for a giant granite boulder. Natural stones tend to have jagged edges, rough textures, and unpredictable shapes. But this one—its base was polished as if something or someone had intentionally worn it down.

The moment the stonemasons saw it, they knew this wasn’t normal. The only way a stone of this size could have been smooth like that was if it had been dragged over a long distance, repeatedly scraping against the ground as it was moved into position. And if that was the case, it meant someone at some point in history had gone to extraordinary lengths to place this boulder exactly where it was. But here’s where things get even stranger: the rest of the stone surface was rough and natural, just as you’d expect from an untouched piece of granite. It was only the bottom—completely hidden from view—that had this unnerving smoothness. This suggested that whoever moved it wasn’t just rolling stones around for fun; there was a purpose behind this effort. The reason this particular boulder had to be transported. And if it was moved, what exactly was it marking?

This discovery changed everything. Before, it was easy to assume that the boulders of Nolan’s Cross had simply been found in those positions naturally, placed by glaciers or other geological forces. And that brings us to another mystery lurking on the island—one that has left behind physical evidence of something buried deep in history. Because not far from Nolan’s Cross, Fred Nolan himself had identified an area that would come to be known as Oak Island’s ancient dump site. But what exactly was being thrown away there?
