Re: After 25 years, I'm finally seeking outside help with this one.
We went to the site yesterday. Still no treasure (assuming there IS any), but we DID find something interesting: We only had a 4 hour window of opportunity (that's including the 1 1/2 hour to the site from the wash-out spot where the presque-isle becomes and island, plus 1 1/2 hour back, so really only 1 hour of hunting) before the tide came back up and stranded us there, so we had to work quickly and strategically. First, from the rock, we meandered about searching for other markers nearby; nothing. Then, we decided to head southwards, as north simply goes out to sea. It lead us to a cape, so we climbed it (wasn't easy, but I fealt we had to go there). Upon reaching the top, there was a heavily wooded plateau. We kept heading south, and not 50 metres in there was a clearing with what looked like a sinkhole or pit. An anomale to say the least. I went down the pit with my md and immediately got signals. Our first reaction was "Maaaan! another Oak Island!". Nails, spikes (veeeery long spikes, some were almost 2 feet long), and bricks. Obviously a structure of some kind had been there. We quickly ruled out sink hole, which left a possible house. We go out of the hole and start md'ing around it. A beep indicating a large metal object. We dig, and it was what looked like the door to a wood stove, but only half of it. And among it was fragmented pieces of porcelain or china. I started to hear seagulls and so checked out the tide situation, and sure enough it was starting to come back up. With an hour and a half trek back to the wash-out spot ahead of us, we decided to pack it up and head back until another day. My partner continued back west on the plateau while I climbed back down and followed the shore south (which coincidently is the same direction back to the car). We met back at the wash-out spot, I found nothing of interest, but my partner found two more similar sites as the first one. We're talking about a 2 Km presque-isle/island (depending on the time of day) with 3 possible homesteads that nobody knows about, with the third one pretty much 1.5 Km north of the stone. On our next trip we will focus more on this 3rd site, and we intend on camping on the island for a couple of days as to not be at the tide's mercy. I should have taken more pictures then I did, but we were racing against the clock and I just wasn't with it. The nord stone hadn't changed (and unfortunately Gollum's keen eye had not picked up half a sun nor an arrow) so no new pics there, but I'll post one of the pit, the porcelain, spike, and the wash-out spot.
