Treat Oak Island as an Armchair Treasure Hunt and it has a Solution

[chalkoutline]

My interpretation of gjb's approah....
1. Remove the story of the 3 boys, MP and flood tunnels because the story lacks evidence.
2. Once removed, there are still clues/anomalies on oak island that can't be explained.
3. From this new perspective, we can research these clues and solve why they are there without bias.

 

[chalkoutline]

As Carl-NC states, these clues can be stitched into many theories.

These theories then must be tested how to determine how probable they are.

 

[TruthbeTold]

There has never been clues or anomalies on oak island.

Anything found has been a remnant of common human habitation or items planted such as the proven fake 90 foot stone.

As always, when everything about the treasure story has been debunked, the typical suspects create more fiction.

No way to prove the stone a fake. Some of ya'll don't believe there ever was a stone while others say it was planted. Who knows at this point. If I was going to fake and plant the stone, I'd want people to be able to read it and not just guess that it must be important..

After investors scoffed at the stone and cut off donations the stone was tossed and used as an anvil in a bindery shop, then thrown away on a rock pile only to be retrieved and used in a basement wall.

Interesting that the key to the most fantastical treasure in history was simply disgarded.

I thinkk gjb is referring to the drilled stones, triangle rocks, etc that don't seem to be connected to the money pit.

So if these anomalies could point to a theory then im willing to be open minded.
Gjb has posted in the past so im not sure if he repeating the same or offering new ideas.

His past posts were confusing so me so he needs to present each step of the process rather than a drawing with a bunch of intersecting lines.

Again, what anomalies are you referring to?

Drilled stoned triangle rocks, etc.
Stuff uncovered while searching the island not related to the MP.

Once again that's my interpretation of what i think gjb is suggesting.

 

[BennyV]

So you are suggesting creating yet another fictional story about the island since the one in your book didn't sell?

That's the thing about oak island, after 200+ years without a single piece of evidence as to a treasure ever being buried there, when folk's fictional stories get debunked they create new ones.

Give it a rest. Really.

A quick search reveals that triangular stones were used as survey markers. Nothing mysterious here.

"The triangular stones with holes played a significant role in the surveying practices of the 18th century, marking boundaries and aiding in the accurate measurement of land through the use of Gunter's chains. Their legacy continues to influence property transactions and land management today."

Again, just common artifacts of human habitation.

Once again...not my theory: gjb's. Not sure if these are the clues he was referring to.

Just trying to keep an open mind until he presents his facts/clues.

From the previous posts in this thread it sounded like he is onto something and looking for ideas and collaboration but not sure....certainly not sure why he would attempt collaboration in this group.

There’s your problem. You want to keep an open mind. Most of the old codgers on here don’t.

That's because us "old codgers" have been around the block a few times and know a tall tale when we hear one. There is zero evidence that any treasure was buried on Oak Island by anyone, ever.

We're also intelligent enough to know that uneducated, drunk, fat and out of shape pirates couldn't possibly dig a hole 130 feet deep with shovels and then come up with a complicated plan to booby trap it to protect their treasure. Just a silly story repeated over the years.

 

[n2mini]

but yet, here you are following along...

 

[FreeBirdTim]

I follow a lot of tall tale treasure hunts currently going on in this country. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to discuss all of them here.

 

[chalkoutline]

Again, just common artifacts of human habitation.

We know what the surveyed plots looked like on oak iland so to prove the artifacts are result of the original survey, one would need to recreate how the drilled stones and markers were used to survey the land.

If the connection cannot be made, then the stones must have been used for some other purpose.

Also, i know from a previous post, gjb is a surveyor so maybe he saw there was no connection and why he pursued his theory.

Google AI indicates Fred Nolan did not drill any stones when he surveyed only found them.

Thanks for proving my point.

I started my first thread to learn about the dunfield dig and got the the typical push back but as i continued the thread truthbetold provided the necessary docs and information for me to draw my own conclusion so don't jump to conclusions about truthbetold...he has reseached.

I guess 42 is now an old codger according to some here. 🤣
