Oak Island the Strange, the Bizarre, and Maybe the "Truth!

[ECS]

Knight's Templar. Treasures of Sir Henry Sinclair's ship, the Katherine. One half was recovered in 1770, the other one half was left. The Shafts and tunnels were dug long before Sinclair's voyage...

There is NO evidence outside of the highly questionable Sinclair journals "discovered" by Diana Jean Muir of Henty Sinclair's voyage to Oak Island with Templars or of him possessing and transporting any treasure, Templar or otherwise.
Contemporary documents written during Henry Sinclair's life or shortly after, have Sinclair defending the Scottish border honoring his Oath of Fealty during the time of this alleged fictional voyage.
If you have any real historical documentation outside of Muir, Wolter, or other quasi historians that this Sinclair voyaged actually happened, PLEASE, by all means, bring it forth.

Could it be an old flat washer ?

Another idea floated on the show is that someone who hated the government took a square punch to an old Colonial era coin.

They were dug from 7th Century up to the 12th Century. They were nothing but mines. The treasure was not buried in the "Money Pit."

Total fiction......along with the star-1cig reference....before the thread is finished many more will pop in with different constellation maps, Ley line mappings, etc.

There seems to be no end to the ridiculous BS theories flying around, but I still have not heard one about aliens..........yet, lol

Seriously......don’t you think that the marker stone they just found on Oak Island is just too small to actually have been a survey stone?

And silence as a response......as expected

There are no rules on what size a "marker" stone has to be and maybe at one point it was bigger and or part of something else by looking of the edges on it... or maybe it was just a corner marker for a property lot...

True, and a good point about it being part of a larger structure.
considering that it may have been a marker stone for a treasure vault, as a stand alone piece, it would need to be larger, if it moved over the course of say two years, they would never have been able to relocate the vault.
the surveyors would not have taken the chance of that happening. So then, if it was part of a larger structure, where is that larger structure?

... I could have placed a staff or long straight stick in the hole and found out the next station to go to...

Like Indiana Jones, would you have to wait for a certain day and time when the sun's shadow would mark the way?

 

[Al D]

They did GPS the location but they should not have moved that Stone. Stupid. I could have placed a staff or long straight stick in the hole and found out the next station to go to. But since they moved it and the other two drilled stones. Awful. They could have found the treasure by following the markers right to the location.

That should not be a problem since you know where the treasure vault is, maybe you could tell them.
if only you spoke jovetos, lol

As above so below.
The Stars have latitude and longitude just like on Earth. Find them and place them on the Earth.
I have done it. Anyone can do it.

So you need moonbeams to shine down on that staff to show the way to the treasure?

Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar
You'd be better off that you are, than to dig the money pit

As with most all stuff on OI people years ago did not care about taking notes and measurements to pin point objects before moving them. I've never understood why no one back in the early 1800's did not have a better way of marking the exact location of the MP, but even if they did over the years with more clearing being done in the area, whatever they took measurements to would have been moved so then exact location is lost... My guess is that while that stone looks to be part of something else it is probably not a survey marker stone sitting in or around what they think is a pine tar kiln. It was probably just part of that structure somehow and got busted up over the years..

My guess (LACKING any evidence to the contrary) is that no one took "notes and measurements to pin point objects before moving them." is because they weren't "marking" anything more significant than lot boundaries...if, in fact they are truly "marker stones" used in surveying.

No reason to mark something that never existed in the first place......

Yeah. Probably not.

Yeah. Probably not.

I have read the story. I still do not believe the story as I have read the story before. Sir Henry Sinclair did make an Expedition to Nova Scotia, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Not one trip but three trips.
