Given the right conditions, such as temperature, pressure, poor fluid composition, quite often these minerals, especially gypsum, they're prone to dissolution," Aitken said.

And nature lined the caves with timbers, put human bones in them, English pottery, book binding material, digging tools too ... huh?

Seven or eight television seasons is way too long to be searching for treasure.

At this point, the only way they can redeem themselves is if they find Hitler down there.

The sheer magnitude of work that went into burying and/or protecting whatever may be down there suggests something of enormous value. If I had an enormous treasure that I needed to hide, then return for it later, you can rest assured I’d invest in some major earthworks, too.

Was the treasure buried then retrieved years ago? Possibly. But it’s still fun to consider the possibilities, and the amazing history of the island is added to with each passing week. Pirates is one possibility but I doubt they played much of a role on Oak Island. I’m guessing the Knights Templar.

Actually, I think there’s much more to be found on the island but the Money Pit is a waste of time. That old French map, showing items on the west side of the island, may hold the key.

Six years of digging for treasure.......did it take six years to secretly bury it?

Whatever happened to 30 paces west of the palm tree then another 60 paces north in front of the waterfall?
