What Scientists JUST FOUND At Oak Island SHOCKS Everybody!
As the Leana Brothers continue their request to uncover this long-hidden Fortune, a scientist makes a surprising discovery, and all the controversial Island revelations astonish critics who doubted the team’s efforts and dedication. But did the scientist discover AA, and how will it affect the future of the treasure hunt?
Join us as we reveal the groundbreaking discovery that has shocked the world. A recent discovery has added an extra layer of excitement to the treasure hunting scene on Oak Island, particularly concerning the very evasive Money Pit. The source of excitement is a scientific survey by Dr. Ian Spooner, a geologist at Acadia University. He adopted a method known as x-ray fluorescence to examine and test the soil samples obtained from various parts of the Money Pit area. The analysis results revealed a shocking discovery.
The discovery is shocking to those who do not believe that the island has any treasure, and to those who believe that the Leana brothers are just wasting their time or staging a show. From the analysis results, it can be seen that some of the soil samples contained high amounts of silver. That discovery immediately sparked speculation that a substantial amount of silver coins or bars could be concealed beneath the island’s surface.
The importance of this discovery must be considered. It holds numerous opportunities and would open many doors, as silver has held great value throughout history. Silver has served as currency, adorned jewelry, and played a significant role in different historical narratives. Treasure hunters have found many signs and signals along the way while trying to unearth the mysterious treasure on Oak Island, and the discovery of silver raises the possibility that these treasure hunters are on the verge of finding the origins of the signals and structures they have encountered in The Money Pit area.
Despite these significant parts of the treasure hunt, a great unexplained shadow still looms over the island. This shadow is in the form of the mysterious curse of Oak Island. This curse has scared away many people who once decided to venture in search of treasure. Is the curse that scary? Yes, the legend suggests that seven people must perish before the treasure is unveiled. The curse remains kind of obscure, however, and whether the curse is genuine or merely a myth hinges on one’s perspective. It is recorded that six people have undeniably lost their lives in pursuit of the treasure and the secrets of the island. These six tragic deaths have undoubtedly contributed to the mystique surrounding the curse of Oak Island and its eerie nature, leaving the curse as a compelling hunting facet of the island.
Is the curse really real? Is it a myth? No one can say for sure. What exactly is The Money Pit, the mysterious Money Pit? Since 2014, fans of the series titled The Curse of Oak Island have remained glued to their seats watching the Lagina brothers, Rick and Marty Lagina, pursue one of the Western Hemisphere’s most intriguing and opening mysteries. Following in the footsteps of past treasure-hunting hopefuls, including the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Lagina brothers have been trying to unearth a hidden trove that is believed to have been buried more than two centuries ago on a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. The set trove is a mouth-watering cache rumored to be very valuable, yet could be anything from pirate booty to the Holy Grail to even the Ark of the Covenant.
Of all the spots on the island where the brothers excavate, special attention is given to one spot, generally known as The Money Pit. Through the centuries, the spot has yielded tantalizing relics, a mysterious inscribed stone, as well as numerous obstacles. The Money Pit, located on the east side of Oak Island, is a shaft more than 100 feet deep. According to island lore, the spot first drew the attention of a local teenager in 1795, who noticed an indentation in the ground. With some of his friends, he started to dig, only to find a man-made shaft featuring platforms every 10 feet down to the 90-foot level. The slight problem is that the exact location of the shaft has been obscured after a haphazard expedition in the 1960s caused clay, seawater, mud, and other detritus to collapse into multiple holes dug around the original Money Pit.
Today, the Lagina brothers excavate in spots they hope are at least near the original pit, along with other locations around the island. Just like many treasure hunters before them, Rick and Marty have found their efforts truncated by apparent booby traps. These traps are tunnels dug into the ground that are designed to flood the shaft with water and prevent seekers from digging any further. According to the Oak Island Encyclopedia, for example, a 500-foot-long tunnel from nearby Smith’s Cove ensures that as soon as the water is pumped out of the hole, it fills back up again. How these traps came to be is still an unanswered question.
Another thing about Oak Island that has remained unanswered to date is how the treasure, which everybody is interested in, got there in the first place. Who was it that buried something on Oak Island and turned it into a treasure trove? Treasure hidden on Oak Island goes way back. The early accounts of the treasure were passed along as oral history from one generation to another up until the mid-1800s when they were finally put down in writing. The details within the numerous reports vary, but of all the reports, the most accepted version is that of the teenager we mentioned earlier.
This version states that, way back in 1795, a 16-year-old boy named Daniel McGinnis was out on a fishing expedition when he noticed a mark on an old oak tree and a nearby depression in the ground. He concluded that the scar was caused by a rope-and-tackle system used to lower something to the ground. Additional exploration revealed an ancient road built along the island’s west side, and there was other evidence of a prior settlement in the area. Having found the intriguing site, McGinnis returned the following day with two friends, a few shovels, and pickaxes in hand. As they began to dig, the teenage boys discovered the mouth of a pit, which was 7 feet deep and contained clay soil with pick marks.
As they dug further down to a depth of 10 feet, they found thick logs. The boys were eager to go further, but the digging was abandoned. Nine years later, they returned with the help of an old businessman who had believed the tales the boys had told, and work resumed on the island with a larger crew and better tools. While digging deeper, another team discovered that at every 10 feet there were platforms made of coke logs. When they dug to 90 feet, the dig finally revealed its first significant clue: a stone inscribed with strange markings, though none of the team members could explain them. Digging further into what later became known as The Money Pit, they sank a crowbar 5 feet and struck a hard substance. However, the sun had set, and the men went home with the idea of returning the following morning to retrieve the treasure they believed they had surely found.
Remember the booby traps we mentioned? Sadly, as the sun rose and the men returned, they discovered that the entire shaft had filled with water. It was discovered that the original architects who had constructed the pit had built in the booby trap that the crew had unintentionally triggered. The frustrating part was that every attempt to pump the water out of the existing pit or create a new one alongside its predecessor failed, and the mission was subsequently abandoned.
In 1865, there was a twist of luck when James McGinnis, a professor of languages at Dalhousie College, was able to decipher the markings on the stone the boys had found. This is the part where everything went crazy. He stated that the inscription read, “40 feet below, 2 million pounds are buried with that in oak.” The hunt was renewed, and even people who had no prior interest now became eager to check them out.
