Singlestack Wonder,
Not a returner and as you continually point out, I am irrelevant. You seem to be successfully making me more relevant with your continual and negative comments. I had six brothers and sisters so your efforts make me smile. After reading dozens of you early posts, I’m coming to the conclusion that you use your debunking solely to boost your numbers. Good Luck with that.
Boogeyman,
In general, I agree with you. If your shipping scenario is correct, then there would be no need for the Oak Island treasure hunt. Anticlimactic, but 100% true. I’m certain that over hundreds of years, cargo was transshipped.
Freeman,
I believe that I prove with every post that I’m at the bottom of the swamp. A lot of good stuff falls to the bottom. Maybe, while grouping thru the mud in the dark, I’ll find an old indian arrowhead or something. The older I get, the more time I go out to enjoy nature and the fresh air. The older I get, I leave my rifle in the car.
Charlie P. (NY),
I have absolutely no idea what might be there. I’m certain that a lot of people have hoaxed things for recreation.
More to your question, “Who hides capital where it is inaccessible?” That depends on how you are defining “capital” and “inaccessible”. At the end of WW2, Nazi’s hid treasure to finance the 4th Reich. I don’t know what they expected their timeline to be, but it had to be long term. People bury treasures all the time and die or dementia sets in.
My best guess is a religious relic. Pick any religion or even atheism and I’m certain there is something they are hoping to find to prove that they are right. For Christians, I’ll go the Ark of the Covenant (less than 5%), a high-resolution map to Noah’s ark (less than 1%), etc. For Atheist, I’ll go with a cross between a Futurama Hypno-Toad and a brain sucking slug. A Hypno-Toad/Slug will ensure that we all believe the correct thing, no matter how often “correct” changes.
As always, I appreciate all your insight. The nice thing that’s good about the bottom the swamp is that there is very little competition and the parking lot is mostly empty.
