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

[TruthbeTold]

Key word in there is "probably" No one can prove it either way but I'm thinking it has already been found, either by the original 3 and or Samual Ball. S Ball was pretty well off for the area, and mainly sold cabbage at about 5 cent a head.. That's a LOT of CABBAGE...

5 cents for a head of cabbage was a lot in the 1700's.

No not in the Money Pit although the primary vault was accessible from there at one stage before being destroyed by successive searchers. As to size its a good question and I cam't be sure but it was certainly large. Large enough to require a harbour, hard standing, quay and island infrastructure be built to accomodate construction materials and crews. Certainly the work of many seasons.

Please provide factual evidence of your claims of yet another treasure vault.

Too long to go into on a forum thread but the solution has already been published including the answer to Samuel Balls cabbage money 😂😂

Improbable I can accept, even rejection, if it is a considered and honestly held personal view but that still does not make it correct. Similar confirmation bias is exactly the reason the Lagina's are wasting millions drilling an empty hole year after year. Just because someone, or many, believed something before you, does not mean it has to be true. The Norse legends of travelling to the North American continent in approximately 1000 AD were ridiculed by academics until L'aus au Meadows was discovered in the 60's, proved the legends correct and is now a Unesco protected heritage site. What makes anyone so sure that Europeans were not present in Oak Island which is less than 1.000 km south about 200 years later? There was definitive proof on Laus au Meadows that those same Norse travelled or traded with people who had travelled that far South and combining that with the medival
Artefacts discovered in excavations and searches on Oal Island should be enough on its own to at least be open to the possibility.

Historians never disputed the Norse settlement of Greenland (part of the North American continent) on the basis of the medieval textual evidence (for example, Saga of the Greenlanders). What some historians did dispute before the 1960s, was whether the Norse had landed and settled anywhere west of Greenland. The discovery and excavation of L’Anse aux Meadows provided archaeological proof that Norse reached and built a settlement in Newfoundland and an interesting archaeological find in the 1970s suggests the Norse visited Baffin Island (likely the place named "Helluland" in Sage of the Greenlanders), although there is no proof they built a settlement there. In sharp contrast, there is no evidence from medieval literature or archaeology that the Templars had either visited or settled in any part of the North American continent. Where are you getting this incredibly dubious claim from? Most likely a pseudohistory or conspiracy theorist website.
