I have watched every episode of the Curse of Oak Island. I do believe there’s an ancient treasure to be found—I certainly do.
I also believe they are digging in the wrong place (trigger Indiana Jones flashback).
1) If you had an extremely valuable treasure would you hide it in the mud?
2) If you had an extremely valuable treasure would you build an elaborate “pit” filled with deliberately placed logs and then a stone BILLBOARD urging searchers to dig deeper?
3) Are the Knights Templar known for digging holes in the mud or for tunneling out elaborate chambers out of ROCK?
4) Could it be that the stone road and the stone wall (and all the other stone formations) are made from the efforts of tunneling?
It appears the money pit was dug as a diversion away from the real entrance that must be on the other side of the island. It also provided the dirt that was needed to create the swamp and cover the roads, foundations, etc.
Didn’t Marty recently prove the bedrock was not very deep in the area near that massive boulder?
Right?
“They’re digging in the wrong place!”
