Sonic Drilling


When sonic drilling is used a high frequency vibration is sent down through the drill string to the drill bit. The vibrations cause the drill bit to vibrate and the vibrations will lead to the rock and soil materials falling away. This type of drilling is done by an operator who has to factor in the type of rock or soil being subjected to this style of drilling. The vibrations caused by the sonic drilling can be changed by the operator to suit the different types of soil and rock. Sonic drilling is easy to use and it is a safe technique to employ when drilling. This drilling technique is cost effective and there is less waste to clear away once the job is done. This type of drilling is also environmentally-friendly and can be completed quickly. Sonic drilling is assisted with a small amount of rotation which enables the drill bit to easily move through the earth regardless of the type of soil or rocks used.What are the advantages and disadvantages of sonic or vibratory drilling?

Advantages
  1. Sonic drilling can drill through almost all types of soil and rock.
  2. When using sonic drilling in soil 30m or less, the drilling is quick.
  3. Sonic drilling allows for limited contamination.
  4. Sealed exploratory soil samples can be extracted however this can slow down the process and make it more expensive.
  5. There is less environmental disturbance when using this type of drilling is used.
  6. Formation waters can be sampled while using sonic drilling.
  7. The sonic drilling machine is easy to operate.
Disadvantages
  1. The process slows down the further down the drill goes.
  2. The depth of 200 metres is about as far down as the drilling can go.
  3. The drilling process can be expensive.
The reason for the effectiveness of this form of drilling is that the vibration caused by the drilling machine causes the soil surrounding the drill bit to become almost fluid like and simply fall away from the drill bit allowing the drilling process to take place faster leading to the drilling job being completed quickly.When the drilling takes place in rock, the vibrations of the drill cause the rock to break and for dust to form. This allows the sonic drilling process to speed up and the job is completed quickly. This form of drilling is also very successful because the drill is not only vibrating but it is also moving up and down while vibrating as well as rotating at the same time.

No problem. They'll probably keep messing around at 10X and not get anywhere near where the alleged original shaft was.

All of that money going to waste. The brothers must be making money while watching others spend theirs because I am telling you people, "Our Founding Fathers ended up with the treasures of Oak Island. Whether they themselves recovered the treasures or generations before them recovered the treasures that were buried there in 1398 and 1399.

So .... They're going to break up the big rock that stopped them last year using a sonic drill ,,,,, kinda like breaking up a kidney stone with lithotripsy only on a bigger scale.

Five Inexplicable Things That Happened on Curse of Oak Island

https://www.tvovermind.com/tv-news/five-inexplicable-things-happened-curse-oak-island by Nat Berman...July 19, 2018



Oak Island - Globes.jpg
1. Dave Blankenship and the ball of fire

There’s no doubt that Blankenship is one of the stars of the show. According to him, he witnessed what looks like a ball of fire floating above the ocean with his own eyes. Furthermore, he didn’t just see it only to have it disappear. Instead, he stood there and stared at it for quite some time. He reports that it floated there motionless for a while, then took off at a rate of speed that was beyond comprehension. As it turns out, he’s not the only one to see this particular phenomenon. So many people have seen something similar in the same location that there have even been reports of potential UFO sightings in the area. When it’s all said and done, nobody really knows what to make of these sightings but for people like Blankenship, there is no question that something out of the ordinary is going on here.

2. A black mass


This is one of the more frightening things that has been routinely reported on Oak Island. Many individuals there, including stars of the show and those who operate the cameras, have reported seeing an exceptionally large black mass that seems to appear out of nowhere. It also has a habit of dissipating just as quickly as it appears and no one can explain what it is or why it happens. Obviously, anyone that’s ever had a paranormal experience is weary of a black mass. After all, it doesn’t exactly elicit warm and fuzzy feelings to begin with.

3. An intense feeling of a presence


One of the stars of the show has reported feeling such an intense feeling of a presence that he literally jumped in his truck and drove away in fear. Skeptics will probably have a field day with this one, as you can’t report that you’ve actually seen or heard anything, or even that something or someone actually touched you. With that being said, anyone that’s ever felt this intense presence will readily tell you that it’s not the type of thing that merely shows up in your imagination. It’s as if something is not only staring at you, but bearing down on you in such a way that you are absolutely convinced that if you were to turn around someone would be right behind you. That experience, coupled with everything else that goes on in the area, only lends credence to the idea that there is something paranormal going on here.

4. Electronic Voice Phenomena





Electronic voice phenomenon is more routinely referred to as EVP. If you’ve ever watched any television show about the paranormal, you know what this is. People take some type of voice recorder, such as a digital recorder, and see if they can capture any disembodied voices that can’t necessarily be heard in real time. If you’re a skeptic, you might think that this sounds rather odd but if you refer to the link above and listen to the EVP that was captured on Oak Island, it just might change your mind. While people can be skeptical about the existence of the paranormal all day long, no one can dispute the fact that there have been bonafide EVP recordings that cannot be explained.

5. The psychic and the red-eyed dog



Another unsettling image that a lot of people on Oak Island have seen is a dog that appears to have red eyes. Like many of the other images that might potentially be paranormal, it seems to appear and disappear without any warning. This is a frightening enough aspect but if you click on the link above, you can hear a psychic talk about this and other things that have reportedly happened there. She also provides a potential explanation for it all. According to her, it all has to do with the way the earth’s magnetic field works in the area. Apparently, it makes it easier for people that aren’t necessarily sensitive to the paranormal experience it much more readily. She also says that it could potentially make it easier for paranormal entities to materialize, thus creating a perfect storm where a lot of weird stuff happens virtually all the time.

When it comes to...Oak Island...Expect the Unexpected!

The internet has given us some really amazing things. One of them is the blurring of the line between journalism (or what passes for it these days) and opinion pieces. Amazing is not always good, but it's always amazing.

I'm not even going to bother picking the pieces of corn from that river pickle of a read. When an article tosses out nothing other than intangibles as evidence for the existence of a treasure, I become disengaged. We all have our cognitive biases. That's one of mine.

The Untold Story of North America's infamous "Murder Island"?

Just "South" of Oak Island is a little talked about Bay of Islands called the Tusket Islands, which may have a link to...The Oak Island Money Pit's construction.

The island associated with this story is located among'st the Tusket Islands, and is called...Murder Island.

Murder Island.jpg Murder Island 2.jpg Murder Island 3.jpg


Tales were told of Pirates burying their treasures on this island.

The name Murder Island was derived due to the many human bones found there.

Stories tell that these bones were really from the bodies of slaves brought to Murder Island after building the Tunnels and Vaults that made up...The Oak Island Money Pit!

"Murder Island (also known as Île du Massacre) - Local lore attributes the numerous human remains found on the island to the extermination of slaves brought up from the Caribbean or Africa subsequent to their work in the construction of subterranean architecture relating to the Oak Island treasure mystery."

There seem to be a few stories about where that name comes from, but that's par for the course when dealing with unusual place names.

Assuming for a moment that those bones are indeed from the bodies of people associated with goings on at Oak Island, why ship them a hundred and some odd miles all the way around the southern tip of Nova Scotia to Yarmouth? Why not ship them 20 or 30 miles to the southeast and pitch them over the side there? It seems like that would be less work to me. (Of course, there wouldn't be any bones on Murder Island either and that's no fun at all.)

I do not believe the Freemasons would have committed such a crime as this.

But!

A Pirate such As the "Buzzard" from the African Continent of Madagascar may have!

Read... Previous "Postings"

I hope that the Canadian Government would analyze the bones from this Island and determine where these bones may have came from.

If we don't know for certain what happened, assuming that a crime occurred is simply speculation.

I don't imagine that pirates would have bothered transporting bodies across 100 miles of prime dumping ground...err, prime dumping water.

I hope that the Canadian Government would analyze the bones from this Island and determine where these bones may have came from.

I'm surprised that they haven't already. Usually local government is very interested in human remains when they're discovered, if only to disprove that they were the result of a modern crime.

There are lots of stories about the bones, but not so many pictures. It's not outside of the realm of possibility that the Canadian government hasn't studied the bones because there are no bones to study. Local legends have a way of becoming more elaborate and impressive over time.
