I was out for a short hunt at a local beach this morning with the GB pro and honestly I had to laugh when I dug this from the wet sand. I told my wife that it would be easy to make one. Well I guess someone did. Lots of fishing going on close by and I think someone made it while he was making sinkers. Who ever did it he did a good job because it looks just like the one they found on Oak island. IMG_0844.JPG

Sorry RTR but I meant that the guys that are fishing around here make their own sinkers for fishing and maybe someone that was watching the tv show figured he could make a lead cross just like the one seen on Oak Island and toss it in the lake for someone to find. When I first dug it out of the wet sand I had a big smile on my face and looked around to see if anyone was watching but nobody was on the beach that day because it was really cold. I still think it’s fake. But it was never made to be a sinker I think it was made as a joke.

That’s why I think it was meant to be a joke. Someone saw the show and said geeee I can make that and throw it in the lake, let someone find it and have a laugh.

I don't think it was made recently at all. At least it "looks" from the picture to have a lot of patina, black no less, are you sure it is lead ?

Now we know for sure, they moved the treasure from Oak Island to Niagara falls. Can't wait to watch the new series, "The Curse of Niagara Falls" :laughing7:

I know for sure because the patina is all wrong for an old find.

Someone having a laugh.

Just to let everyone know that this cross was found on a Lake Ontario beach. Now I think it’s fake but not positive. Oak island is near the mouth of the st. Lawerence river which ends up in Lake Ontario so there was no paddling up the falls lol. I’m just saying. I think it’s funny! But I’ll never know for sure.

Your geography is a little off...Oak Island is on the south shore of Nova Scotia...I live close by and visit there quite often.
