"Oak Island is one of about 360 islands located in Mahone Bay in Lunenburg County. When 16 year old Daniel McGinnis first found a circular depression in the ground he and his 2 friends began to dig. By the time they had dug down 30 feet they had discovered markings from tools as well as layers of logs every 10 feet down the shaft. When Onslow Company started digging in 1803 they found layers of different materials such as coconut fiber and charcoal putty. When they reached 80-90 feet they found a stone with inscribed symbols that was thought to say "forty feet below two million pounds lie buried". Unfortunately, it is unknown where this stone is now. This was the first time that diggers experienced the flooding of the pit which caused the halt of yet another attempt at discovering the mystery. Since then, there have been several more digs from organizations such as the Truro Company in 1849 and the Oak Island Association in 1861. Each dig shed more light on the construction of the shaft and brought about a total of 6 deaths over the years. In 1965 the causeway, that is currently the only connection to the island, was built in order for Robert Dunfield to move a 70 ton crane on to the island. When Triton Alliance Ltd. hit bedrock at the bottom of the pit in 1967, they lowered a camera into the hole and found quite a lot of debris, most likely left from previous excavations. In 2005 a portion of the island was purchased by partners from Michigan. Since January 2011 when the Oak Island Treasure Act deemed that digging could continue.

@2tame4fame No I'm not related to your mother, and how do you figure I am shouting when you can't hear me there, 99.9 IQ genius?

[2tame4fame]

@sabinetch Ok einstein! They build a very complex structure so they can put nothing there, If you find something on another island why do you keep shouting about it? you just a media whore maybe? shut up!

[RolfHarass]

With all the technology we have today surely we could just nuke the island and find out what the hell is down there!

@duq12 Ok, thanks! Cool. I have searched but haven't found anything...
