SEASON 8

If the stone road turns and goes towards the MP area it will be labeled as fake as well... Probably a night shift out there now digging up the dirt and planting rocks and then covering them back up to be dug up this summer using on a trowel on film...

Not necessarily. It was probably laid by some of the dozens of search teams who wanted access to the pit site.

If you were going to "hide" a treasure would you make and leave a cobblestone road? Probably not. If a road was set it would have most likely been a log/corduroy temporary road. Easier on draft animal's feet as well. Later searchers (remember - the causeway didn't appear until 1965ish) would have needed to get digging equipment off the beach.

Not knowing how the land really looked around 1800 we don't know what the best "beach" area was to be unloading stuff compared to now. Assuming they were working in the MP area I wouldn't think the swamp area would be the best place to be unloading from even if it was 2 islands at that point. Just skip over what is now a big tree filled area between the swamp and MP area and take a more direct route. Granted maybe something prevented that and the swamp area if it was deep enough to get a boat into it would provide some "cover" as to what your doing from the mainland..

It would only be proof that the truckload of objects exist. Who's to say that the Laginas wouldn't have created gold and silver chalices, a gold something resembling our idea of the Ark of the covenant, as well as an assortment of jewels and buried them, just so that they could be 'discovered' and save face?

Without the associated paperwork trail documenting the origin and chain of custody tracing how it arrived on the island, it would be fake.

Since seawater has a high content of silver and gold trace, even a fanboy should be able to ascertain where the "trace" on the fictional show came from....

Do any of you that have ever found any "treasures" while metal detecting or exploring or digging in each others pockets, have "proof" or "documented paper trails" with letters of authenticity from the people that lost the items you found. You know, proof that you didnt fake and plant these items just to look cool on the treasure forum? Just curious.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

No. But what I have is the treasure. Not the false hope of maybes.

If "treasure" was found that is the proof that "treasure" was there...

If people find everyday ordinary stuff and claim it is linked to buried treasure. Then some sort of proof or evidence is required to have sane/reasonable people believe it...

To argue that the unsupported claim is of equal validity to the request for evidence of the claim is just madness....

This is especially true when those making the claim are making money from the gullible...

...but according to your many posts about Samuel Ball, the land in the 1800's was very good for growing cabbages.
As with land, so with people, the more you cultivate, the more clods turn up.

 

[n2mini]

Another one of your great awesome posts.... Thanks sooooooooooooo much...

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

In season 9 the laginas resort to growing cabbage on the island in an effort to keep the storyline going. gwary will be the chief weeder and occasionally find a common artifact such as a nail or ox show during his field time....

Spoiler alert.

Gary finds a Templar key-ring and the Brothers embark on a trip to the Vauxhaull Car Manufacturing plant in Bedfordshire because the background is almost opal color - and at one time they were partnered with Opel GmbH. Next eposide - Trip to Hesse, Germany!

Historian Dan Conlin, who wrote about the island in his 2009 book Pirates of the Atlantic and teaches a class on it at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, is blunt. “It’s nothing beyond an interesting example of pop culture obsession and greed,” he says. “There’s nothing there beyond a natural sinkhole filled up with 200 years of junk from treasure hunting. It’s just the generations of treasure hunters who have created a self-sustaining myth that keeps going and going.”

Wasn't there an aerial photo posted on one of these threads showing a road or pathway along the east side of the Swamp, from when electric or telephone lines were put in, from the 1930's or 40's?

Of Course NOT!!!! The only people to ever make roads on Oak Island were the Knights Templars..

Just ask the Laginas

They used that road to haul blue clay mined on the Eastern end of Oak Island and transported to the brick factory which was located where Fred Nolan built his house. They had electricity running up there in the 1920's and 1930's. The photograph was taken in 1931. There is even a road from the "Swamp Road" towards and a little below where they claim the "Money Pit" was located. There were also "fresh water" wells all over the eastern end of Oak Island. The treasure that was hidden on Oak Island was deposited by Sir Henry Sinclair and Knights Templar in 1398. The Mi'kmaq Indians guarded the treasures for over 370 years; scaring off anyone even their own people to protect the treasures. Or some instances killing off would be intruders. The treasures were recovered in 1770 by the masons to finance the American Revolution. They left one half of ship load on the West End of Oak Island. Without any records after that time, the masons could very well have came back and recovered that portion of the treasures also.

Sir Henry Sinclair NEVER sailed to North America, the Templar Order had been dissolved a good 80 years before 1398, NO treasure was recovered in 1770 by Masons to finance the Revolution- this is relatively new fiction generated by "found" journals and books by Diana Jean Muir.
While there are genuine historic documents that disprove the Sinclair Templar treasure and its fantasy recovery by Masons, NO legitimate genuine historic documents exist that support these alternative fabrications by Muir and others.

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

Muir is a fiction writer, period....

Don't bet the bank on your continuing post.

 

[Singlestack Wonder]

I see the usual suspects posting but fortunately I have them on the ignore list and do not have to read their fictional fairy tales.

If they had any truthful facts they would be posting them in this thread:

Oak Island Factual (proven/documented) Information


Of course fiction is not fact, thus no evidence is ever posted.

Using content from fictional writers such as amendsen, muir, etc. does not offer any credibility to their fantastical false claims about hoax island.

Don't empty your bank account buying these false fabricated fantasy alternative history books, your retirement lifespans lasts longer than your money.
