Its going to be a hell of a winter they say.

Geez wonder what this little stone ship is pointing at ?



Wow an Eagle's Head holding a ribbon in it's beak, and lookie here an Eagle feather



Wonder what that means if it all points to Vermont.....oops...looks like the show is ABSOLUTE BS





Guess they would rather sniff wood?

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

Back with fictional tales and photoshopped rocks.....

One would wonder why folks continue to post these fictional tales with doctored images....the most logical reason would be that they are hoping one of the cable networks will continue to see the posts and have an interest in creating another fiction based treasure hunting show.

But the folks here who continually post these fictional tales don't possess the creative mental processes, sales experience, and business skills that the laginas do in order to sell the tale to those networks.

At most these continued postings will just lie stored on forum servers forever with no one ever giving them credibility....

...Wonder what that means if it all points to Vermont...

It means its time to go to Burlington and purchase a power pedal treasure hunting work trike!
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...
... NOW one can add a Silver Swan Cargo Trailer that easily attached to the work trike to haul all that Templar treasure from Vermont!

I don't think OI is BS, the amount of money they are spending is astronomical. The Discovery channel maybe covers 1%. I hope they and other hunters on other shows find something. For every "legend" there is some truth. They are not making money off the TV show. For me it is free to watch, so I enjoy it for what it is worth. I'm not spending $1000's of dollars a day so I will keep watching from my comfy sofa. It's cheap entertainment.

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

The treasure story has been proven to be a hoax many, many, times over. If advertisers pull dollars the laginas couldn’t be found anywhere near oak island even with a search warrant....

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

For every "legend" there is some truth.

Hardly a scientific premise. "Some" may be hardly if any at all truth. Like 1/2 of a %.

In this case it may be that there is an island named "Oak Island" and after that it all falls apart.

In this week's show:

They try more honeycomb drilling to locate the original shaft and the Chappell vault. Then from a new person: Erin, we get some applied GIS science. The GIS division of the Templars in 1347 laid down an east-west meridian line. Finding some line intersections, we arrive at one of the known boulders. The striking a line 30 degrees from the meridian, we get the point where there should be another boulder. Based on that, she will be able to predict the location of the Chappell vault.

They then went out and validated Zena Halpern's map by locating the anchor stones.

(although the basics of Erin's work were valid, the technique seemed to be mostly back-solving for something near the location currently believed to be the money pit)

Would that be the same Chapple vault that was moved when hit by the boring cylinder?

Any idea why Erin decided the boulder which would represent the northern anchor was 30° off of due north? Was that to make it match where the northern anchor stone shown on Zena's map was? If the angles of Nolan's Cross matched that 30° offset I'd be more interested in it. Also, the two boulders she chose to represent the east and west anchor points, why those, what was the justification? As said above, it looked to me like she was looking for something to fit a theory, not taking what is there and developing a theory with the data.

Probably because she has no clue about what she is talking about, a GI expert who does not even know what a Meridian line is.
Meridian lines run North and South, not East and West, even a high school kid knows that.
what a farce.....pathetic.

 

[DaveVanP]

True, the southern/western boulder was where she said it was...because she located one that worked by examining satellite photos...and then among the dozens of boulders strewn on the northern beach area, she was very likely to find one that would "line up" with any bearing from the other stone; 30°, 45°, 22.5°,...take your pick.

I was amazed that the "rock-lined channel" they found was not determined to be a "tunnel entrance", as the pine-tar workings were.

And did she compensate for the change in magnetic north pole since 1347?

 

[franklin]

I think she said it was "True" North not magnetic. I will have to watch again. She is right about her work to locate the "Money Pit" entrance. But it can't be used now after so much drilling and digging. The 15A and the 20A Lines interest me more as they point directly to where the treasure is located but she will have to figure out the other line and she hasn't yet.

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

Yep....MOVED...

They supposedly hit the VAULT containing the Ark of the Covenant, Aztec gold, body of somebody named bacon, Shakespeare's little black book, (fill in the blank with all of the other fictional items) and they never attempt to dig it up....

Why would this interest you as you have stated many times that you know the exact location of the treasure? Yet other times you have stated it was never there....

Thanks Mike... I did a lot of reading on the "alleged" Chappel vault a while ago. There is very little evidence that Chappel actually found the wood from his core sample in the location of the money pit in 1897. He was just guessing when he drilled his core sample. He did not know if he was on top of the original money pit. The story about the fragments of a gold chain did not emerge until 30 years later when his son was trying to raise money for his own search. The original Chappel never told anyone that story (unless it was his son only).

It seems much more likely that he just drilled through someone else earlier wooden reinforced search shaft.

That's true. East/West lines on a globe are called "parallels" because they are always parallel to the equator.

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

The show would improve exponentially if they replaced the current narrator with the one from Moonshiners.....
