The one that was narrow at each end and wider in the middle. Found at a late 18th / early 19th century cellar hole on the same farm where I found the Large Cent and Flying Eagle this weekend. This may have been a tool rather than a spike. How old did the blacksmith say it was and what was it used for?

It won't fit in my top pocket. Should I take it to the blacksmith in Nova Scotia?

Nice! That's a 1600's iron crossbow bolt commonly found on Templar aircraft carriers. These ships were made of coconut husks and were known to anchor off of Oak Island during typhoon season. Remarkably, there is a carved rock behind the Oak Island Museum that depicts these Templar aircraft carriers at anchor with all the ship's bows pointed at the Money Pit. See Season 3, Episode 8.

SPANISH Templar aircraft carriers.

Episode 12 season 36... yet to be released... but already filmed... right after the Hawaiian flower husks are found.


PS... I call Oak Island ... Gilligan's Island now. :P

Don't disrespect Gilligan's Island, the professor could have made the Arc of the Covenant out of coconuts if he wanted to,

Well Sir, since you appear to be so well versed on the subject, please explain how this ended up in SW Pennsylvania :laughing7:

I wanna see a picture of the carved rock! Better yet run over to the island and take a picture of the Templar aircraft carrier at anchor!

But he couldn't make Noah's ark and get them off the island?

C'mon Steve....everyone knows that the Templars enslaved the lost colony of Roanoke and had them build subterranean canals (designed by the Masons of course) through Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress Hall in Philadelphia where they hid all the gold and treasure.

I recall a spike that 99.9 % of the world's population would correctly identify as a modern railroad spike, but somehow the Oak Island gang thought otherwise.

Unfortunately for your theory, a subterranean canal built by the Mason's would have taken the shortest straight line route from Roanoke to Philadelphia and would have been about 280 miles east of where I found it. I'm afraid you have lost all your credibility :laughing7::laughing7:

I think he did make a Holy Grail out of a coconut once ... didn't he ? if not he should have :)

So the professor was your favorite character ?... mine as well.

BUT... I think I pictured / imagined myself "marooned"... heh... with Ginger and Mary Ann most of the time :)

Thanks for all the opinions on my artifact. I still don't feel I have a positive ID, but I do have some good news. The Oak Island producers want to use it on the show, so we should have a thorough metallurgical evaluation and a positive ID sometime next season.
