RIP...Oak Island. IMHO a huge scam.

It is an interesting story but I hate that program on “The History Channel”. It is just a waste of time. If they did find something really significant, it would be reported all over the internet etc. Until then it is just redundant nonsense.

How much is the reality series worth? Isn’t that the treasure?

RIP. Hubby and I went to NS in 1972 and paid a visit to Oak Island (I had read the same article in Reader’s Digest back in 1965, and was delighted to go out to the island as a side trip to our honeymoon)

We were taken around the island by the gentleman who was the present owner and shown the probable location of the Money Pit, other excavations, and Smith’s Cove. It was an awesome visit, and very few people visited the island at the time.

Based on the timeline of Oak Island’s owners, it may have been Dan Blankenship who showed us around. It was the most interesting part of our trip!

Every time Dan Blankenship appeared on the TV series, he seemed familiar to me.

May he Rest in Peace, and, hopefully, has found The Real Treasure in Heaven.

“According to the legend, 7 men will have to die before Oak Island secrets can be revealed.”

Dan is the 7th,

RIP, Dan/

RIP Dan.

After finishing the first episode of Lost Gold of WWII on the History Channel, I'm going to watch last night's episode of The Curse of Oak Island.

Awww...I really liked him. He was amazingly fit for 95. My maiden name is Nolen and can supposedly be traced back to Templars so found it interesting that a Nolan ties into Oak Island.

Bummer. He waited so patiently to find out what’s down there, but...

R.I.P.

I read the same story in my parent’s Reader’s Digest when I was a kid. Interesting story and so is the show. However, thinking about the engineering necessary to do what they purport to make booby traps protecting the treasure doesn’t pass the common sense test.
