Oak Island: The Legend of the Money Pit

Canada's longest-running treasure hunt began in 1795 on Oak Island, Nova Scotia. A teenager found a depression in the ground under a tree with a tackle block. He and his friends began digging, discovering layers of oak logs every 10 feet down. They never found treasure, but they sparked a mystery that has captivated searchers for over 200 years. #Canada #OakIsland #Mystery #NovaScotia 🇨🇦

Downloaded tonight's episode of "Curse Of Oak Island". S13E21. <sigh>

This episode is a 2-hour special. And the start of the episode is different. Crossing my fingers this indicates they finally found something after ~230 years of searching for treasure on this mysterious island. #OakIsland

Oak Island would be an interesting location for a Call of Cthulhu adventure if you leaned into the myth of the place.

The Money Pit's Secrets: Booby Traps and Curses

The Oak Island pit seems to be protected. Searchers have battled ingenious booby traps, including flood tunnels that fill the shaft with seawater as they dig deeper. A stone slab with cryptic symbols was also reportedly found. A legend persists that seven people must die before the treasure is found. To date, six have lost their lives in the search. #Canada #OakIsland #TreasureHunt #Unsolved 🇨🇦

Of all the shows my father watches on #ThehistoryChannel, the show about #OakIsland, which he was watching this morning, isn't so bad, I guess.

It's basically a bunch of "treasure hunters" blowing tons of money to dig up shillings or pieces of eight, but at least it it's NOT bullshitting us that aliens used to visit what is now #iSkinwalkerRanch for "the lulz," or allegedly building every ancient wonder NOT built by white people.
