Oak Island Artifacts: Just the Facts

[Upnorth42]

Thanks

Just looked for the story on the net and found this article that gives a different theory re the bones there.

https://roadtrippers.com/stories/th...-murder-island?lat=40.80972&lng=-96.67528&z=5

Still anything is possible... I still secretly hope the discover something truly amazing on oak island at some time.... BUT I won't be holding my breath....

All the photos and the video from the roadtrippers website are of a different island. The story does seem to be about the one here though.

A piece of wood clamed-up from the latest money pit exploration? I think we may now have the smoking-gun. The treasure is only minutes away. (Sorry for the sarcasm, the show is dragging on me.)

Anyone besides me see a change in Marty's attitude/comments this season? Seems to be making some carelessly-positive comments that comes across very scripted to me. The show is getting dangerously close to "jumping the shark".

The coin and ring that was dug up on tonight show seem to be real.

Recent finds: Six King George coins, a dandy button, a lead bar, and a plate (possibly off of a firearm) certainly counts as artifacts, but do they relate to treasure? A British encampment while digging the money pit? British encampment? Possibly. For the purpose of digging and hiding treasure? Seems quite the stretch.

Any opinions?

I'm not sure the British ever issued the soldiers lead ingots, molds and melt ladles. Most soldiers fired few if any practice rounds and during a campaign they would be supplied with paper cartridges. I think that was "fanciful" history of what may be just a piece of plumber's lead solder.

By the 1750's there were homes built on the mainland (Chester) nearby. After 1760ish the island was a British outpost for Fort Halifax. That much is documented. There would have been encampments there. In 1761 it was divided up into 32 lots for settlement. George II coins were minted until 1760. No surprise one may have been dropped - and they were in circulation God knows how long. I just looked and I have a cent from 1964 and a 1975 nickel in my pocket right now.

I have legitimate proof of the 90 foot stone translation I do however need to contact a specialist of semitic languages to truly read what it says but I have a general idea based off of my own theory

I wish the 90 foot stone was still around to go by. Rather than was supposed to be on it..

You have a translation of what was said to be found. Do you have evidence that an actual, cryptic stone was ever found? This has never been proven.

Gotta love Gary Drayton though that place has been searched to death and he pulled some nice stuff!

 

[Honest Samuel]

We should all be proud of Gary Drayton. Go Gary.

Colonial artifacts were recovered in a former colony? They might relate to treasure, but they could certainly relate to colonial living.

What is the simplest answer?

Or crowdsource the problem and post some pictures.

How do you know that it's legitimate?

If your claim is true then contact the History Channel or the Laginas I am pretty sure if you can prove your claim you have something to sell.

I researched the source of the symbols and found that they are not phonecian like is mostly asserted. So going with that I researched the timing and placement of the knights templar in coordination to the region in which the alphabet in question was in use and found that the templars would have been in the regions to possibly gain knowledge of an extinct alphabet predating hebrew but from which ancient hebrew had come... Also you do not find all of the symbols in one time frame within the history of the alphabet which to me suggests that the region in which they may have learned of this alphabet had used their own "dialect" of said alphabet. So that said, the alphabet in question is a phonetic alphabet where each symbol is coupled with a sound and not substituted for another letter. Anyway moving on, being that the alphabet was semitic in origin I took to the decryption in a semitic way reading it from right to left and not left to right as western languages are written and the knights templar would have not only been learned in Greek, Latin, hebrew, arabic, and probably various other regional dialects of an amalgamation of semitic languages, but most likely had various ancient documents written in any number of semitic languages from which they would have been able to learn the alphabet and be able to put it into use as their code to use in their banking and personal endeavors. So in reading from right to left sounding each symbol out it begins to produce words of semitic origin however I do not know hebrew or any other semitic language for that matter but when I search the sounds hebrew words pop up denoting the earth and mourning and praise and the most definitive one is "hineni shakhanah" which are the first two words working from right to left on the bottom line which translates to "here I am in the Holy house of God"... the rest reads roughly, "to mourn and pay worship over the earth" or somethin

The British Encampment relics were most likely Sam Ball's stuff. He was in the British army, so payment of king georges and other english relics found on his land makes sense. As for Gary Drayton, IMO, he isn't a metal detecting "expert". He cant even tell a railroad spike from a deck nail.

The spike is from a rail mine cart in my opinion or planted.

Couple of things about finding the old coins.
1- Did half the people back then have holes in their pockets. They have found quite a few compared to the area searched. ( That we have seen atleast )
2- What were these coins worth back then. Most of the people back then weren't well off and I'd think you'd keep up with your money better. Most of us might not bother picking up a dropped penny, nickel, dime, you'd put in some effort to get the quarter if easy enough to get to and for sure go after a dollar.. That is todays money with min. wage over $7 an hour, so imagine 200-300 years ago..

To clarify, I don't give a blue horse apple over what's carved on that rock...not yet, at least. I need to know where it came from first. The markings are irrelevant without context.

So, again, how do you know that it's legitimate?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Just as legitimate as this "hooked X" marked rock they found in the cove. (Color highlighted - it's much less obvious to a "casual observer").



Random scratches become engravings in a fruitful mind.

3. What is jewelry worth these days? When people lose it, do they look for it? Have you ever found any? I sure as hell have. Not just on beaches, either. I've even done nicely on well-manicured fields.

People lose stuff. Sometimes they don't know that they lost it at the time. Even when they do, they don't always find it. It is what it is. Don't overthink it. If people are dropping gold and diamonds today, is it so hard to believe that they were dropping copper and silver back then?

Tonight show is a repeat of last week show, which is outrages.
