I can read 3 to 10,000 words a minute.

Hey, me too. 200 wpm is right between 3 and 10,000. ;-)

What's your rate of comprehension? ;-)

LM literal AO!!!! A hilarious display of historical ignorance!!!
Nova Scotia didn't join in the revolution, because they didn't want to, despite Washington's threats.
Read a freaking book, Franklin.
This is more that a mere display of "historical ignorance" , but the very common practice to manipulate and force facts to fit ones speculative theory when there are NO ACTUAL facts than can collaborate a treasure story.

Treasure hunters say they have found Confederate gold in Lake Michigan shipwreck | Daily Mail Online
Was there a follow up. I do not remember a treasure ever being actually found.

This article reckons is all BS

“The supposed safe is actually a stove,” he said, noting that Dykstra and Monroe have made a series of erroneous claims in the past and have now “discovered” a shipwreck that’s already known.

Maybe these "treasure finders" should give Marty a call and get a job on his show...

I can read 3 to 10,000 words a minute.

I'm not sure what to make of that statement. I can also read 3 words per minute, but I cannot read 10,000 words per minute...at least, not while comprehending what I'm reading. I can not comprehend 10,000 words per minute that are spoken, and no one else can either...at least, no one has been known to yet, so I'm in good company here.

So I have read a lot of books.

I have as well, but I'm not sure that I'd ever present myself as an expert on a subject based on the amount of books that I've read on the topic. I certainly would not make an appeal to authority based on that.

Another thing billions of people all over the world have held the "Holy Grail" in their hands and did not even know it.

I'm not sure what to make of that statement either. The Grail was not an item of religious significance until well after the time of Jesus, and Christianity had changed significantly during that time. One could argue that it was merely a literary invention. If one of those people were to present that opinion to me, I'd be hesitant to debate them on it.

So it turns out it was just a tug boat and load with nothing of significance. Dykstra was attempting to gain a moment of fame claiming it contained lost confederate gold, yet it contained nothing......the laginas are hoping that not too many tv viewers are aware of this fact so that they can milk advertisers dollars for a few years pretending to look for a gold treasure....

Well I do not want a show. I have found what I say I have found. You can find it to on the Internet. It is out there. Look for it. Seek and ye shall find.

You have found nothing. You have read vast stories of conspiracies, templar legends, mary poppins, and other fiction on the internet and fabricated “treasure locations” in your head.

If you ever actually show the treasures that you claim to have found, you will receive high 5’s here. Until then you are regulated to and associated with the crowd claiming they have found templar vaults, templar graves, etc., those of which make sensational claims but never produce one iota of empirical proof...

LM literal AO!!!! A hilarious display of historical ignorance!!! Nova Scotia didn't join in the revolution, because they didn't want to, despite Washington's threats. Read a freaking book, Franklin.

Nova Scotia, especially Oak Island was very much in sympathy with America's call for Independence from England.

Many of the Original Settlers and Follow Up Settlers were from the Americas, mostly Boston, Massachusetts where they played important roles with America's win.

The family of Dr. Jonathan Prescott is one of the most interesting families connected to Oak Island with deep roots maintained in Massachusetts.

"Joseph Prescott b.1762, second son from Jonathan's second marriage, was sent to Massachusetts at a young age for the purpose of gaining an education. He would pursue medical training under the guidance of Jonathan's only nephew a Dr. Samuel Prescott. By 1775, Samuel was already regarded as a high son of liberty. Samuel was in fact the fellow who finished the ride of Paul Revere to warn Concord the British were coming. Specifically the warning was passed to Amos Melvin who was first cousin to Robert Melvin listed below. Joseph and Samuel were recorded as serving together at Ft. Ticonderoga in 1776. Dr. Samuel Prescott would be captured later in 1776 on an American Privateer. He would be taken to Halifax where he would die a prisoner in 1777. History records Joseph as being a Doctor in the Rebel Army with close connections to George Washington via the Order of Cincinnati. Another of Dr. Jonathan Prescott's sons was at the battle of Lexington Green and is known as the famous shot heard around the world."

The well-known poem about The Ride of Paul Revere is inaccurate.

It was Samuel Prescott, associated with the Prescott family from "Oak Island" that completed this "Ride".

"Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1861 poem about Paul Revere’s ride got many of the facts wrong. For one thing, Revere was not alone on his mission to warn John Hancock, Samuel Adams and other patriots that the British were approaching Lexington on the evening of April 18, 1775. Two other men, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, rode alongside him, and by the end of the night as many as 40 men on horseback were spreading the word across Boston’s Middlesex County. Revere also never reached Concord, as the poem inaccurately recounts. Overtaken by the British, the three riders split up and headed in different directions. Revere was temporarily detained by the British at Lexington and Dawes lost his way after falling off his horse, leaving Prescott–a young physician who is believed to have died in the war several years later–the task of alerting Concord’s residents."

"The Raid on Lunenburg (also known as the Sack of Lunenburg) occurred during the American Revolution when the US privateer, Captain Noah Stoddard of Fairhaven, Massachusetts, and four other privateer vessels attacked the British settlement at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia on 1 July 1782. Lunenburg was defended by militia leaders Colonel John Creighton and Major Dettlieb Christopher Jessen. In Nova Scotia, the assault on Lunenburg was the most spectacular raid of the war. On the morning of 1 July Stoddard led approximately 170 US privateers in four heavily armed vessels and overpowered Lunenburg’s defence, capturing the blockhouses and burning the house of Jessen. The privateers then looted the settlement and kept the militia at bay with the threat of destroying the entire town. The American privateers plundered the town and took three prisoners, including Creighton, who were later released from Boston without a ransom having been paid."

Some stated that Jonathan Prescott was sympathetic with the American's cause that he purported Treason by associating with the Captains of the Privateers prior to the attack on Lunenburg.

"On June 30, the day before the raid on Lunenburg, Stoddard and two other privateers descended on Chester, Nova Scotia firing cannon from their vessels. Captain of the militia Jonathan Prescott fired cannon from the blockhouse and struck one of the privateers. As a result, the privateers retreated behind Nass’ Point. The crews went ashore and requested of Prescott to bury their dead. Prescott indicated that if they disarmed themselves, they would be assisted. Eventually, Prescott invited Stoddard and the two other captains to tea. The privateers left Chester to raid Raid on Lunenburg the following day."

Unlike other sympathizers, Jonathan Prescott with his connections in Halifax, was cleared of all charges and given the position of Justice of Peace along with the land for his future Estate...Maroon Hall in what is now called Acacia Grove, Nova Scotia.

In 1777, Article (11) in America's "Article of Confederation", invited Nova Scotia, included within the territory of Canada to join the Confederation of America.

"The Articles of Confederation, formally the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States of America that served as its first constitution. It was approved, after much debate (between July 1776 and November 1777), by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, and sent to the states for ratification. The Articles of Confederation came into force on March 1, 1781, after being ratified by all 13 states. A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence and sovereignty of the states. The federal government received only those powers which the colonies had recognized as belonging to king and parliament."


  1. "11..If "Canada" (as the British-held Province of Quebec was also known) accedes to this confederation, it will be admitted. No other colony could be admitted without the consent of nine states."

The Treaty of Paris, 1783 established a precarious Border for Nova Scotia which may have changed if America had been successful in winning the War of 1812.

During the American Civil War, the Union Government was very much motivated to declare war against England for its interference by its recognition and support of the Confederacy.

If it had not been for President Abraham Lincoln's famous saying..."Let Us Fight One War At A Time", America which had one of the largest Armies in the World, may have annexed Nova Scotia, along with the rest of Canada.

After the American Civil War, The Government showed a great animosity against England's part in supporting the Confederate side that a Bill was issued to annex parts of Canada including, Nova Scotia.

(Paraphrased)
"The Annexation Bill of 1866 was a failed bill introduced on July 2, 1866,. It called for the annexation of Nova Scotia, along with other parts of Canada. The bill authorized the President of the United States to, subject to the agreement of the government of the British state of Nova Scotia, publish by proclamation that, from the date thereof, the State of Nova Scotia, with limits and rights as by the act defined, are constituted and admitted as States and Territories of the United States of America." It provided for the admission of Nova Scotia, along with other parts of Canada. And in addition, the United States would connect Canada with the Maritimes by rail."

"The bill was introduced by Congressman Nathaniel Prentice Banks, a representative from Massachusetts. It was intended to appeal to Irish Americans who supported the Fenian Movement and were aggressively hostile to Britain. Indeed, much of American public opinion at the time was hostile because of Britain's perceived support for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. With America's weariness with war this Bill was not passed. There was no further serious effort in Washington to annex Nova Scotia or Canada."

The following Year, July 1st, 1867 Nova Scotia joined the other two (British Colonies of Canada and New Brunswick) to form the Dominion of Canada.

There for the Grace of God, along with other important Players goes the Borders between us, which may have changed, leaving us all here in Nova Scotia and Canada speaking American!

Just because you haven't seen does not mean it was not there.

You will need to work much harder to exhibit to the networks that your cereal box decoder key is better than the laginas if you hope to ever get your own, “hoax of xxxxx treasure” show...

I am not catering to the networks. I could give a rats behind what the networks do. I am only concerned with the "TRUTH" and for me it is satisfaction knowing I have found several things no one else has been able to find for hundreds of years.

For starters I have found two frontier forts in my immediate area that the State Archaeologist and Historians could not find.
I have located 58 depositories of CSA and KGC Gold worth Billions of dollars.
I have verified Petter Admundsen's research and the Holy Artifacts were buried on Oak Island, Nova Scotia.
I have found the Holy Grail and the location of the Ark of the Covenant of God.

Now what have you and the naysayers found other than "That is Hoax Island" The Beale Treasure is a dime novel. You really do not have a leg to stand on.

Great finds. Any photos? I'd really like to know what the grail looks like.

You'd think with all these great finds being brought to light, something would have been mentioned in the media.

No I did not forget. Since I have proven that the Beale Treasure is a fiction story there is no need to mention it. I have also verified other stories as fiction, such as:

John Singleton Mosby's money hid after the capture of General Stoughton
Armor Bank Robbery in Muncie, Indiana
The Beale Treasure
Numerous stories about the Confederate Treasury Gold
Clara Read's Silver in Danville, Va.

Unlike you and others that fly over these forums like vultures looking for something to naysay about, I work all the time searching and researching. I do not take anyone's word on whether a treasure exist or not I search it out for myself.

Just like the Lost Confederate Gold, I had two partners to double cross me. They went to the media making a claim that they had found it all. All the gold, all the silver and all the documents of the CSA Government. I could have given up at that point but I continued and five years after they went on their own, I actually found it all. So keep your naysaying drums beating not too many out there read them, they only hang around to see if you can pry some hard earned research out of someone that is actually hunting for treasure.

Come on ECS....you know that I alone corectly decoded the beales papers and found maps to several templar vaults, three of which were destroyed (Mount Saint Helens, Nevada Atomic Test Site, and Chernobyl). I'm currently working on finding more templar vaults and when found I will be able to provide as much factual evidence as franklin...

No doubt you took plenty of photos of this "lost confederate gold" when you found it. Care to share some pics?
