The report goes on and I quote:

"The coconut fibre, if verified as we believe it will be, may have reached Oak island through four primary pathways:

i: Planted on the island by previous searchers
ii:natural transport by gulf stream and inshore currents
iii: dunnage discharge at Oak Island by a previous ship
iv: brought and used by ancient voyagers for flood tunnel purposes


One problem with a couple of these possible pathways is that it did not exist anywhere in the Atlantic Basin during the periods determined by the dating, that would include the Caribbean and the Mediterranean except for the far Eastern end through trade with India. Coconut was first introduced to the Atlantic by the Portuguese in 1500.

Cheers, loki

I thought that would tantalize some here :)

You have said several times that you admire my position in this debate. Now you accuse me of having a faulty memory ...

I do not retract the compliment. And "subconscious memory bias" is an accusation I lay at the feet of BOTH sides. As you see that I did in post # 1775. For example : I (as a skeptic) am going to be prone to have a "faulty memory" if some component of the story doesn't favor my notions. Ie.: selective memory bias.

And that is why, if I am guilty of that, I appreciate it if the proponent draws me back to "face the music". And I would hope that each of us then, would have the same "measuring stick" to evaluate said data.

I have read the 1995 report(twice) and I saw nothing about "sink holes".

That's why I said "corroborated." The Woods Hole investigation produced very strong supporting evidence of natural causes for what has been experienced on OI.

There has otherwise been an astonishing lack of real scientific inquiry into OI geology. I wonder what would happen if a 100-ft deep hole were dug on any nearby island. Would it flood? Do other nearby islands have similar deposits of "coconut husks?" I suspect these will never get answered as the people who should want these answers in fact would rather not have them. I don't think I ever heard for certain, but the Woods Hole investigation was likely commissioned by an OI investor who was smart enough to ask for it, and it probably resulted in his withdrawal from the Triton effort.

Of course, other holes have been dug on OI, and they all flooded. Showing that either the flooding is the result of normal geological features, or the flood tunnel system was far more elaborate than first imagined and accounted for the expectation that, after people tried to dig the original hole cleverly marked with a block-and-tackle, they would proceed to dig other nearby holes, so the flood tunnels were routed all around the area to thwart all these additional efforts. In the eyes of William of Occam, which of these would be more likely?

Oh about that.

I have read the 1995 report(twice) and I saw nothing about "sink holes". You can read the report for yourself but their summary says it best:

Read page three again and look up what "solution features" are in geological terms. "Sink holes" are the layman's term for "solution features".

PS - thanks for the link.

With the “supposed” ground collapsing over the current hole, the producers now have plausible deniability to have the brothers state, “now that we found the templar/bacon/shakespheare/aztec/ whatever treasure, we are unable to retrieve it. It was so obvious that a tactic like this was on the horizon.

Coupled with the guy stating that the entry to the hoax treasure vault is actually out to sea, maybe they will find the sub-sea entrance and a tunnel leading to the civil war gold they were looking for...

I suspect the treasure is smaller than everyone thinks. It may occupy a much smaller space than people believe. Look at it this way. Given that the annual salary might have been 1 buck in the 1400s how big would the treasure have to be. I once dug about $32 up in the sand at a bar on the beah and it was only 1/2 a cup of coins. Just how much gold would it take to measure 1 million in the 1400s. One small chest perhaps. Coins don't take up much space. People see a room filled with gold in their imagination and expect it at Oak Island. This could account for a lot of the trouble they have locating said chest! It may be one small chest.

I once talked to an author on the internet who was writing a book on the Missing Confederate treasury. He was claiming some man rode off with the treasury using two horses to pack the gold and silver coins. So I did a simple calculation on what the total value of the treasury would weigh in gold coins at the time. It was about 2600 pounds. Those were two strong horses let me tell you. Suddenly the story morphed into the man rented two wagons with horse teams and then rode off. And that was using only gold coins in my estimate and did not include additional paper money he said was extra nor silver. So I never bought the book.

Gold coins and silver coins are very heavy but do not take up much space. Keep looking???

Hint: Look at the bottom of the trash pile underground.

Look in the mud in the bottom of any openings you find underground. Gold SINKS. In mud and sand!!

I always thought a roll of dimes was five dollars? As for the Confederate Treasury that depends on the general shipment of contraband by the President's Party or the entire Confederate Treasury as a whole. There is a difference. James Semple and assistant Navy Paymaster Tidball made off with the last of the Confederate Treasury at Washington, Georgia and it weighed about 200 pounds of gold coins and gold bars.
