Oak Island is closed until further notice - 2022

[Singlestack Wonder]

Wednesday, June 22nd - A very heavy traffic day on the Oak Island causeway, the trucks pictured below made more than 30 trips to the Island today. It's still up in the air as to what they were hauling. They looked more like the trucks used for gunite or shotcrete but could have been hauling gravel. If Dumas Mining is working on a tunnel, it could be gunite for the walls. Another possibility is pads for equipment or gravel for a road. Other crossings included more equipment and a small building. There was so much going on a deer trotted across the causeway to check it out. Maybe some photos from the water in the next week or so can find some answers.

Since no mysterious flood or otherwise tunnels have ever been found on hoax island, perhaps they are building prop tunnels to "discover" and allow the actors to look at each other in one of those dumbfounded expressions they use when pretending to find something?

Friday June 24th - Busy morning on the causeway. Along with the usual 30 to 40 vehicles that cross daily there was a lot of other traffic. Irving brought equipment.

A few more vehicles that crossed the causeway this morning. Others included cement trucks and a flatbed hauling lumber.

Just listed for sale, lot 5 on Oak Island. The price seems OK for 4+ acres and waterfront on Oak Island. Pretty much unsearched so you better move quick, when the brothers find out it's for sale it will be gone.

The folks watching the civil war gold show figured out quickly that it was just another lagina scripted reality show and stopped watching.

Wednesday 6/29 - Not much activity so far this week. One flatbed of lumber, a few cement trucks, and quite a few loads of gravel. The tall crane has been idle. You don't have to make a trip on the water to check it out, it towers above the trees.

Saturday July 2nd
A flatbed crossed the causeway carrying two strange looking containers a few days ago. It looks like they have ventilation windows so they could be portable bathroom units or tool sheds. We'll see where they end up. Choice drilling is still on site.

The best proof that nothing is in the pit area, is that in the late 60's a team made a huge hole and found trash etc. The original pit is long gone. I remember seeing the footage, it was huge and deep. NOTHING there. They would do better metal detecting the WHOLE island

 

[smdog66]

ha ha...

Then I will say it its a HOAX, Anything that was there is LONG gone

I don' believe the search on Oak Island is a hoax and here's my argument.

1. I have researched all the geologists, certified archaeologists, university consultants and they are who they say they are. I seriously doubt that they would endanger their reputations to be part of a hoax. The same goes with the construction companies that are involved.
2. There is a tremendous amount of money being sunk into this venture. TV revenues from the show would hardly cover the costs.
3.Just the shear number of persons involved could not possibly keep a hoax of such magnitude a secret for so long.
4. Why would anyone way back in history go to all the trouble and expense to pull off a hoax of this huge magnitude when they could not be sure of anyone ever finding it?
5. Rick and Marty are real businessmen and I seriously doubt that they would risk their business to be part of a hoax.
6. Considering the complexity of the whole thing, It would take a tremendous amount of labor to pull it off. What's going on here could not be constructed with one or two hoaxers.

When you look at some of the largest treasures ever found, it took many decades to find and retrieve those treasures.
Be patient. I think, because of all the present activity, they may have found something big!

The show is a scripted reality show surrounding the longest running hoax in history.

Like so many other cable Tv shows, anyone will spin tales for the right amount of money. The laginas are well paid for their roles as well as the equipment companies from advertiser dollars. Plus the equipment companies get free advertising,

The money pit myth was proven to be fiction long ago with the entire area dug to over 140 feet with no flood tunnels, oak platforms, etc. ever being found.

Even the fake crytic stone was thrown away after investors back then stopped the money flow (let’s see, a stone with cryptic carvings pointing to the most spectacular treasure ever being used as an anvil and ending up as a stone in a basement wall. That’s a “clue”).

Even Dan Blankenship said in an episode 4-5 years ago that nothing was ever there (and the camera immediately changed scenes).

it’s unbelievable in today’s time that folks are so easily duped.

The channel and the laginas will continue to milk the advertisers for as long as possible.

If season 10 happens, they will find (gasp) more items from common human habitation, then hire more fiction promoters to come on the show to tell their stories.

Did you even read what I wrote? How could someone get all the accredited experts that have been on the program to go along with the so called "hoax"? Do you really think those people would jeopardize their reputation for a few dollars? How could you get dozens of people who are affiliated with the production to go along with the "hoax"?

And as for advertiser dollars paying for the "hoax", millions of dollars have been spent so far on this venture. No, I don't agree that the advertisers revenue could even come close to paying for this search.

Monday, July 11th - Not much activity photographed during the 4th of July week on Oak Island or the causeway. Maybe a holiday break with the guys going back to the States. The tide was extremely low a few days last week and Gary wasn't spotted working the exposed areas.

Singlestack, you need to post some real facts to do the de-bunking you talk about. All I see above is part opinion and part gibberish

The Curse of Oak Island is not a 'scripted" reality show. It is a reality show filmed in real time as it happens. There are no scripts and cue cards. (Easy to find that using google).

The cable company and the Lagina's are not spinning tales, they are following the Oak Island money pit treasure tale that originated circa 1795 by the original three searchers. The equipment companies are not getting free advertising by being on the show. All of the heavy equipment used on the Island is leased. The equipment has a per day leased price at the start of the contract, and then the actual per day fee is negotiated based on expected TV exposure on the show.

Who proved the money pit to be a myth? How could anyone find the original oak platforms during the 140' dig? The oak platforms were removed by Daniel McGinnis, John Smith, and Anthony Vaughn. They removed the platforms down to the 30' level in the circa 1795 dig. Then circa 1803-1805 The Onslow Company which was comprised of the original three searchers and Simon Lynds continued the excavation of the money pit area down to the 80' - 90' level removing the oak platforms and finding stone inscribed with glyphs.

The original cryptic stone was known to exist, and it can't be proven that treasure was never found on Oak Island. Family members of the original searchers claimed they found some treasure and that is possible. John Smith a teenager during the 1895 dig and a young man during the 1803-05 dig had bought land on Oak Island circa 1810 and built a new home. John Smith had sole possession of the cryptic stone and installed it in the fireplace of his new home on Oak Island. The stone remained visible in the fireplace for about 55 years and was viewed by hundreds of people. This was mentioned in two different Halifax newspaper stories in 1862 and 1864. John Smith's house was purchased by another searcher company circa 1860's and the stone moved on to a new fireplace. The stone ended up in another fireplace and finally ended up at the Book Binders. Tell me about it being installed in the wall.

It seems the hoax promoters have been effective in convincing some viewers that their scripted reality show is real.

PT Barnum would love this...

Absolutely ZERO evidence has been produced in over 200 years that confirms there was an actual money pit or treasure ever on oak island.

We even have a multi-year thread here for folks to post any factual evidence they have relating to a treasure on hoax island......it's been years and no one has ever produce/posted any evidence.
