The real and only truth about Oak Island is that it was previously worked and occupied by humans that went about the business of living their lives off the land. As such, it has the remnants of what you'd expect having been worked and occupied by humans on an island: stone pathways, artifacts, foundations, disturbed earth and all manner of boat and tool remnants necessary for human existence on an island. Anything that has been found to date on the island is consistent with these facts, not the fantastical narrative of a Treasure legend.

Exhibit#2: "There were 70,000 or more Welsh came over to this continent in AS 574 aboard 700 ships. Now that is a fact.
They had cities and fortifications all over what is now America. They built 100,000 burial mounds". Franklin, November 18, 2020.
While archaeologists and anthropologists have documented evidence proving that indigenous Native Americans built these burial and midden mounds, there exists NO evidence that the Welsh ever set foot on American soil in the 6th century, much less constructed cites, fortifications, or burial mounds.
Exhibit#2A: There exists No documented evidential record of any European country during the 6th century has any vessel or ship that were seaworthy or large enough to cross the Atlantic.

Exhibit#3: 6th century Welsh mined copper and other metal ore in North America.
Archaeologists and anthropologists have proven with documented evidence that the indigenous Native Americans in North America have conducted mining activities since 2000 BCE.
There existed NO actual proven evidence that Welsh miners ever worked any mines in pre-colonial America.

"Ivar the Boneless" - doubtless there's a saga behind that name. One more entertaining than the whole Oak Island "story."

Exhibit#4: "The truth will ultimately come out about the Brandenburg Stone"- E Lee Pennington
"My analysis if the d=stone's weathering suggests it could have been carved before 1492, but there is no way to get a more precise date because it was taken out of its original environment, and its provenance isn't clear"- Scott Wolter
Farmer Craig Crecelius claimed to have found the stone in 1912 in Brandenburg, Kentucky, and began displaying it with its ancient mysterious carved writings at county fairs for an admission price, when at some point broke into three pieces.
1965, he transferred ownership of the stone to Jon Whitford, who in 1974 had the oolite limestone examined by professional archaeologists, who concluded that the markings were natural scratches with apparent carved enhancements simulating some type of letters, most likely forged in the 19th century.
Ex- shipbuilding plant foreman Alan Wilson and convicted stolen property dealer Baram Blackett, now "history detectives" declared in 1998 that the Brandenburg Stone scratches were actually ancient Welsh Druid Coelbren, and translated the message:
"To strength divide the land we are spread over purely between offspring"
Wilson & Blackett claimed this was proof that King Arthur and Welsh had sailed across the Atlantic to America to mine copper and other metal ore.
That got the attention of Jefferson County Community College English and creative writing teacher, E Lee Pennington, to go all out with the King Arthur in Kentucky fantasy, utilizing the the St Edmund the Martyr wall painting and other misinformation from the Wilson & Blackett books.
After retiring, Pennington, adding "Doctor" and "PhD" titles to his name from two Honorary Doctor degrees, neither of which in history, one from THE WORLD UNIVERSITY, a school dedicated to the esoteric non-traditional subjects, went on paid lecture tours promoting this false history of King Arthur and the Brandenburg Stone.
*NOTE* Coelbren has been proven to be a fake alphabet, created by Edward Williams using his Druid name Iolo Morganwg in his 18th century book, "BARDDAS".
His son, Taliesin Williams, profiting from the Victorian Period interest in Druidism fantasies, republished his fathers book which was available in the UK and US.
In 1993, The British Academic Community of Historians along other professional disciplines, declared the Coelbren alphabet a fabricated hoax.

In this week's episode:
They begin digging up the 'Spanish Galleon' in the swamp but true to form, an Oak Island water trap activates and fills the hole in with water faster than even Billy can excavate it. They exposed a beam of the ship, but it will have to wait until next year when they can install a coffer dam.
In the Samuel Ball foundation they find a hinge, from a door or treasure chest. Then they find a door in the floor: does it lead to a hidden tunnel and the Chappell vault?
In the stone pathway, they find a cool-looking possible wooden carpenter's square actually found to be a stonemason's T-square! A possible Masonic connection - possibly useful in creating all the 30,60, and 90 degree angles to features on Oak Island. Dated to 1632-1668. Could it be from the Scottish Freemasons? Later they find a very long ring bolt at the eastern border of the swamp.
This week's guest theorist found a piece of paper among some old Masonic regalia. The symbols were similar to Le Formule and the 90 foot stone. Decoding the message led from "the altar" to a location of a 40 foot dig. They dig down and find some ground up stone at 40 feet but no treasure.

A "Spanish Galleon" rules out that being Henry Sinclair's wrecked St Katherine that been claimed to be in that swamp.

Am I missing some thing? I thought the whole purpose of show was search for treasure at the bottom of the money pit?

WHAT!!!!
Surely not... The point of the show is to dig up old crap left on the island by people going about there daily lives.....
That way you can get at least 9 seasons out of it....
After all we pirates never will let you find our actual treasure..
That's right, but as the 'bottom of the money pit' moves along with the migration of the Chappell Vault, the show must go on!

Is anyone keeping track of the number of "true stories about Oak Island?".....

Considering that contemporary documents prove that Henry Sinclair was defending the Scottish border during the time of his alleged voyage to Oak Island, Nova Scotia, how is it possible that an actual "ship manifest of Templar treasure" exist?
What is the source of this "manifest", and has it ever been verified by professional historians and/or academics, or is it just additional "manufactured" papers found in a basement trunk?
