oak island

From what I can remember reading in the story. They found a place in the bay which drains water into a shaft, the opening covered with coconut husk fiber. The coconut fibers make a good filter, to keep dirt from clogging up the openings of the water channels leading to the shaft that connects to the money pit. I think it said in the story also, scientists analyzed the age of the coconut fibers (they used carbon dating) and found it to be hundreds of years old.

With the money they have spent, why not scan the Island with a "metal-detector" hung from a helicopter
.. are used to search mines/veins or big treasures

 

[Red_desert]

I's definitely a challenge for any treasure hunter willing to search the island. We know the site must be old and very hard to figure out.

 

[widomanmx]

Easy answer .. pits are for filter sea water

 

[Red_desert]

That hole is too for me, especially if it contains no treasure.

What news here

When I watch some of the shows on the History Channel it is amazing. I see stone monuments and ruins that we are told that we could not make today...there is a place in Florida made by a modern man that I am told would be impossible to make with no modern equipment..Just where did this knowledge go...Art

The knowledge is still there! People don't remember history more than five minutes ago. For example, politics or even the fires in California. No one remembers these things have happened over & over again so we keep making the same mistakes over & over.

I tried watching last show video, but got message it wasn't available or at least the finds video. Here is a page mentioning episode.

Treasure has finally been found on The Curse of Oak Island — in the form of a brooch containing a 500-year-old faceted red gemstone.
The breakthrough discovery was made on the penultimate episode of the History show’s fifth season, being uncovered by metal-detecting expert Gary Drayton in an area to the north of the Nova Scotian island.
The rear part of the brooch was uncovered first, followed by a second part featuring the gemstone set in metal. Both items were found in the same location after being picked up using a hand-held metal detecting device.They were dug out of the ground by Rick Lagina, who along with brother Marty leads the treasure hunt on Oak Island. It was initially believed the stone could possibly be a ruby, but it was later revealed to be a 400- to 500-year-old rhodolite garnet. It has at least 11-12 facets.​

More from the same page...

The discovery came on Lot 8 of the island’s 32 lots and in reality took place towards the end of 2017, while the team were carrying out their final searches on the island before Canada’s harsh winter set in. It was found on the same lot that a decorative keyplate was uncovered on the previous episode of the show.
The brooch’s discovery came moments after Gary Drayton and Rick Lagina also discovered what was believed to be a military cuff button dating from around 1780 to 1820.Initially only the back plate of the ornate but visibly aged brooch was discovered, with the pair unable to locate the gemstone that formed the rest of it. They decided to leave the small hole they had dug open in case they wanted to return later with a sifting device.

However, in a lucky twist just as they were walking away Drayton picked up another signal with his metal-detecting device.It turned out to be the circular piece of metal containing the unevenly-faceted stone. The pair were visibly blown away by the discovery, with Drayton, from Grimsby in England, describing it as a “bobby-dazzler” — a British phrase for something considered remarkable.

It was speculated that the brooch could be part of the lost treasures of Marie Antoinette, the last Queen of France, which are one of the many things that treasure-hunters believe could be buried on Oak Island.Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt previously took a keen interest in the treasure hunt on Oak Island due to that particular theory.​

I don't know where lot 8 is located, but there seems to be a good solid old gold signal this area.
