Incredibly, however, the mystery proved so difficult to solve that the hunt for the golden owl would take over 30 years - outliving Hauser himself who died back in 2009.

It's a shame it wasn't found during his lifetime. He would have been chuffed to see this.

Isn"t hunt of the Oak Island treasure longer than this one?

Yeah, but in this case there actually was a treasure to be found

🤣   It still gets me when I realize how many years ago the 90's were.   But all the way back does not seem proper when talking about the 90's unless you are under 20.

Who found it and where was it hidden?
