Gosh.

I guess I'll just have to stop by the gravel quarry down the road instead for entertainment.

I for one would not mind going to oak island and looking in the empty hole. It is now part of history. The biggest wild goose chase on earth to date

A little more than $800 a day.

Friends of Oak Island Society: 125 persons x 2 tours a day x $20 a ticket = $5,000 a day
Oak Island Tours: 50 persons x 2 tours a day x $30 a ticket = $3,000 a day


This could be the first groups to work Oak Island and not come away empty handed

I might consider it if the tour staff dressed as Knight's Templar and did a can-can routine to a zany Oak Island theme song.

But split 18 or so ways!

Thanks, I dropped a zero! THat's what you get for typing on a smartphone, wearing gloves, while taking a break scooping out stalls! LOL.

Instead, I'll go metal detecting at the local elementary school. This will cost me nothing but my time, I will turn up more items of value than 2+ centuries of digging at Oak Island has, and seven people will not have to die for this to happen as a bonus.

It'll be a great day for everyone not trying to profit from Oak Island.

If I want memories, I'll go on a road trip this weekend, which is actually what I'll be doing.

Wow, $8000 a day (plus I wouldn't doubt if you can buy souvenir maps, books, pics, artifacts etc). $8000 a day and lets say its open 180 days a year, thats 1,440,000.00! A cool Million and a half a year with some of the lowest overhead in a business you could find(a few tour guides, maybe some liability insurance and a small museum/gift shop with cashier). That plus their show contract money. There really is an incentive to perpetuate the Myth....

$1.5 million would cover 1.5 Can-holes. Clearly someone else will still fund the operations.

Oak Island, the reality series, is a for profit production, that averages 2.6 million viewers per week. With those viewers comes paid advertisers. Money is no longer an obstacle to digging all the holes they want....

 

[n2mini]

even the non believers that keep watching the show are helping to continue the show so they can keep complaining about the show.. Got to love how that works... Thank you!!!

 

[n2mini]

I'm all for a good open conversation about the island. What burns my tail is people mainly skeptics that speak as if what they say is a fact and we know it's not. Like when they say it is proven that the MP never was there. I don't believe that but heck might be true but they don't know that for a fact!!!! Yes I can't prove it was and never said I could, but they can't prove it wasn't there.. Not many people had a camera back in 1795 to be taking pics of anything...

 

[Caryl]

Out go out on a limb and say NO one had a camera in 1795.

 

[n2mini]

and based on the skeptics want as evidence, It's impossible to give them proof, and they know that..

Its weekends ONLY and every other weekend per group, during the touring season, so your math is WAY off.

Lets say its a 6 month season, thats 26 weekends x $8,000 = $208,000 a year total between both companies. Subtract business expenses and taxes at about 75% (high estimate) and your left with around $52,000 to share between the two companies, maybe 31k for one and 21k for the other. Thats great money for only working two days a week during the summer but not enough to live off of
