![]() The slipway dating is consistent with French involvement but not the dates of the paved area. The only people to prosper lived on the other end of the island, the hard rock mining tools were found on the other side, and the swamp is the one spot that could have access to either of the original islands. The strongholds of the Tempar all had subterranean works. A layer of clay in the bottom of the swamp could be waterproofing for an entrance to a tunnel system and the real “vault” is on the other side of the island and was constructed by Templar depositors when the paved area was built. The presence of the clay mine and the 200 ft. Is it possible that the money pit is the King Solomon style diversion, and the real spot with answers is the man made swamp. I am a contractor handyman and even I know that disturbed soil will settle if not compacted and the pulley is almost too convenient. I think anyone with the engineering skill to construct the flood tunnels would not leave such an obvious clue as a depression in the ground with a pulley hanging in the tree above it. I find it unlikely that after centuries of attempting to protect whatever, if anything, is still buried on the island, the discovery of the money pit doesn’t fit. From the appearance of Vikings in Labrador to the present day I think there is a reasonable narrative that fits the evidence and it hinges on a single question. I have developed a theory that encompasses all of the evidence and is simply based upon watching the show. There is one thing that has bothered me since I first watched the shows. My name is Darwin Bright and I am not an engineer or even an educated man but I am a patented inventor and I have a tendency to think outside the box. I have become a dedicated fan over the past three years and find the chronology of the finds especially interesting. The Curse of Oak Island airs Tuesday nights at 9/8c on History. Fingers crossed, they’ll be back digging soon. There you have it, folks, the Fellowship of the Dig never lays down and never gives up. He finally said, “even just to get together is worth it, even if we don’t find the treasure,” and the guys all nodded in agreement.Įven Billy Gerhardt, the quiet man in the digger, piped up, “if you don’t do it, I’m coming down weekends to finish it.” Marty pressed Dan Henskee into an answer as to whether he thought there was any treasure to find. “Everybody?” asks Marty to a succession of nods and shouts of “yes” and “absolutely.”Ĭharles said, “there’s treasure here you just haven’t found it.”ĭavid Blankenship, “there’s something here we just haven’t looked in the right spot.” Tom Nolan said, “how do you put a price on something that might change history?”Īrchaeologist Laird Niven said he’s not sure about there being any treasure, but “something happened here, and it’s worth pursuing.” ![]() Marty Lagina, the man who holds many of the purse strings, told the guys if we want to continue digging the Money Pit area, it will cost “tens of millions.” Marty Lagina asks ‘is there treasure on Oak Island?’īearing that in mind, he asked the guys a very straightforward question: “Does the Fellowship still think that there is still something here to find?”ĭoug Crowell pipes up immediately, “yes, definitely” and is followed quickly by Charles Barkhouse, “Yep.” Geologist Terry Matthieson pointed out that Marty’s coin reveals strong water currents flow beneath the island, which means “the Money Pit area is nothing like it would have been” at the time any potential treasure was buried there. This fact could mean treasure buried on the island could have been dispersed over a wider area than was previously thought. Marty pointed out that this proves metal (and treasure) can move around underground in horizontal as well as vertical directions.Īnd it can move quite a distance in a short time. The coin, discovered this week, had drifted at least 10 feet from where Marty dropped it. The idea was it would prove that the treasure moves around underground. Marty dropped the coin down the hole as an experiment to see how far it would drift. At the time, the team suspected they’d found the Money Pit but that the treasure had drifted away. Marty and Gary told the guys of their recent discovery of a coin that Marty had dropped down borehole H8 two years ago.
