HMS Dreadnought Posted October 30, 2015 #152 Share Posted October 30, 2015 We'll probably get it here a few months later, though I doubt they've found anything at all of note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVG Posted October 30, 2015 #153 Share Posted October 30, 2015 We'll probably get it here a few months later, though I doubt they've found anything at all of note. I agree and what ever treasure was there is long gone by now...it would be nice if they found something!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeview rud Posted October 30, 2015 #154 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I watched an episode the other night. They finally did something worthwhile. They (supposedly) recovered some coconut fibers from the beach area and (again supposedly) got them verified by a lab as coconut fibers. Then they carbon-dated them to around 1300 to 1400 AD with 95% certainty. If true (again the big if) then that would really get one scratching one's head as its well before pirate booty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would fit in nicely with the suppression of the Templars and the disappearance of their treasure. On the other hand, it would also mean the rope and pulley the boys discovered had been hanging from a tree branch for just short of 500 years, which is a pretty long while for pully, rope, or tree to last. This claim should probably be approached with caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeview rud Posted November 1, 2015 #156 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Your right, but the rope, tackle and tree need not date back to the original burial. Whoever dug the pit would likely have marked the spot (no X's were readily available) with a good sized rock. The rock would then have been carved with some sort of distinctive mark. A later visitor knowing something about the legend might have then rigged up the rope and tackle to move said rock. Finding a rock or boulder nearby with a strange carving on it would be a logical outcome. Great story now pointing to Templars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted November 2, 2015 #157 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Not to mention that the rope and tackle and such are reported from 1795, when the kids first found the site. So, that is only 300 years. Edit: Oh, if you mean from 1300 AD, then yeah that is 500 years.... Edited November 2, 2015 by DieChecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatus1 Posted November 2, 2015 #158 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Or, you know, it would prove that coconuts made their way from the south. Whichever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rope would not have lasted 300 years either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeview rud Posted November 2, 2015 #160 Share Posted November 2, 2015 So a shipload of coconuts headed for the Mounds/Almond Joy factory got caught in a hurricane, washed ashore on Oak island and were consumed by Templar survivors of an earlier shipwreck which occurred when they were fleeing the pope's purge. Looks like the makings of a very bad movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted November 4, 2015 #161 Share Posted November 4, 2015 They need Nicolas Cage. He always takes very esoteric, seemingly unconnected things and finds huge treasures. At least in the National Treasure movies he does.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelnjones Posted November 4, 2015 #162 Share Posted November 4, 2015 They have some new digging deeper version of the old shows I am not sure they are different though. Maybe just a name change like Pepsi Maxx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllJay Posted November 12, 2015 #163 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I wonder, since they got this new information, with the scanning - that showed an extensive tunnel system on the island - could it be so that these are natural caves that had many surface openings on the island, A cave system that some people discovered way back, and saw the potential to use it as a hiding place for whatever treasure they wanted safe - and that after they placed their treasure down there, they used the soil from the place where the swamp now is, to fill up the natural cave-openings on the island. They said earlier that they had strong indications that the swamp on the island was man made, and that large quantities of soil must have been removed to create that swamp. That would solve the mystery why this swamp was created, and where the soil that was dug up went. And also, it would have made the treasure hiders effort a hell of a lot easier to use an existing natural cave system, than have to dig these deep extensive holes to bury a treasure. It would make sense regarding those timberlogs-sections they found in that money-pit hole. Every ten feet there was layers of logs in place. and it would make sense to put them there if one just filled up an existing hole that had spacious caverns at the bottom. Otherwise the soil would just keep filling up the cave, and also there would be natural settings of the soil over the years so a hole would be visible - and they didn't want that. I guess we have to wait and see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVG Posted December 6, 2015 #166 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The third season is getting old..It looks like they do not have a clue as which direction they should follow..They really need to find something then a few planted coins...Totally a stretch at this point...

Was it the second episode where radar showed a chest, and a body ( some forensics dude said for sure ) down that hole filled with water? They said they were going to clear it out, then send divers down..... I take it they decided to save that for the 4th season? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were going to clear it out, then send divers down..... I take it they decided to save that for the 4th season? Yeah, that is pretty stupid huh? They made a big deal of clearing the water and checking any debris that came up, and then failed to follow up on it. My guess would be that they did follow up on it... Probably they followed up on a lot of stuff, and.... They found nothing. There is only so much "We found nothing" that one can publish on TV without being canceled, and so they keep trying to weave around. That's my guess anyway.

They said they were going to clear it out, then send divers down..... I take it they decided to save that for the 4th season? At that point, if they seriously thought a body was there, they were obliged to call in the police: you don't just say "Oh, look! A body! Let's dig it up!" (or "Let's not dig it up!" as the case may be). It could, after all, be recently and surreptitiously buried, or the remains of some treasure hunter missing since 1987. So I think we can discount 'the body'. Edited December 21, 2015 by PersonFromPorlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted December 21, 2015 Author #174 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I was pleased to see that when they found nothing in that tunnel, they pretty much put an end to that part. Just the "dumb" brother still is not convinced. Everyone else jumped ship. I don't think they will ever find anything because I don't think there is anything there. But it is entertaining watching them try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Scooby Doo and the gang get involved, in which case they'll capture them accidentally, pull off the mask, and.... OLD MAN WITHERS!!! Or maybe Rick Lagina???
