Oak Island Money Pit

[Sharon Hill]

Apparently, made up of four 'Drumlins!' (lines of hills) - and "no," I've never heard of that geological terminology before either!
("I should have - as it's both a Scottish & Irish word!")

A glacial term. They are all over northern US and Canada.

Wolter is a boob. If he's such a smart guy, why hasn't he figured out that no one would buy a book about Oak Island that has deleted information and blacked out maps. Hurr dee durrr

He is a geological disgrace. Boob, indeed.

I can’t believe this is the U.S. cable History Channel most popular show and in 10 years they have found very little.

I'm of a mind that they actually found the treasure 12 years ago, removed it, then started the show to cover it up

Money pit seems to sum it up. I wonder how much they’ve been paid over the 10 years.

I've thought about it a lot over the years, just how much does History pay for the production and how much does the 'Brotherhood of the Dig' pay?

It must be worth it! It's just entertainment if they actually found something and solved the mystery, the goose that laid the golden egg would be well and truly cooked

Whether they find anything or not, I'm really not sure how many more seasons they're going to get out of it. They're already in their mid to late 70s/early 80s

They could always search for Bigfoot in the Money Pit.

Maybe they've discovered The Philosopher's Stone and the secret to immortality is to keep digging up Oak Island?

Immortality would explain why the treasure hasn't been found, since one more has to die....'according to legend'

Wensleydale has loads of drumlins; we had an ice age or two here as well.

Tricky Fishing though!

Im fairly convinced that the whole 'Oak Island Mystery' is merely misidentified and unrecorded early mining activity and/or pine tar production. For those interested I have found an early map of Mahone Bay dated 1733 in the Huntington Library in California. The map looks fairly well surveyed and shows the shape of Oak Island before the creation of the 'Swamp'.

Whenever I'm in the area, I like to visit the Cheese Mines.
