The whole argument about the coconut fibers is over emphesized, it makes sense to consider that the C14 date of said fibers is in error.
You bypass the most important sentence "terrestrial and marine"!

No I didn’t, that is the whole pointYou bypass the most important sentence "terrestrial and marine"!

You do know that "marine" refers to organisms that lived in seawater, not those that were terrestrial and fell into it.
My point in this whole discussion is "lets have somebody do a complete and acceptable testing of the correct material to include a conclusive dna study."

You don’t seem to understand the nature of the problem, coconut fibers are terrestial, but, the C14 ratio has been skewed due to salt water saturation, what this mean is that there is no established correction criteria for obtaining a valid C14 dateYou do know that "marine" refers to organisms that lived in seawater, not those that were terrestrial and fell into it.

The coconut fibers absorb sea water which is saturated with marine organismsThe "Marine Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect" mostly concerns marine life, in other words, specimens that had lived in a marine environment such as mollusks, coral and ect. and collected carbon from that environment, terrestrial organisms, not so much.

it is an issue of cross contamination
I give upNever read that one before, a new one on me! Is that what you meant with your last several posts on the subject,lol?
Cheers, Loki
I give up
maybe you should read up on C14 dating and the scientific method
Knight's Templar on Oak Island makes more sense, because isn't the area called Nova Scotia----------New Scotland. And wasn't Sir Henry Sinclair over the Knight's Templar. And did a diary mention that he made a trip this far West. They have since found things in the diary that prove that he was and had been around Oak Island in 1398. SO I hold with the Knight's Templar. Even Roslin Chapel verifies most of the story itself in it's sculptured walls.
Also, Petter Amundsen's work deciphering Shakespeare verify that the treasure was buried on Oak Island.

The Knights of Christ were Templars under a changed name. It is not one or the other. What I find odd is that folks are pursuing a link with the Templars and ignoring the one group who actually WERE HERE during Portugal's age of expansion. The trail is there. I'm not sure what it might lead to, but at least it has historical fact as its base and I think that makes it more solid. At least to me it does, so that's the trail I have been on for quite some time.
