The island is actually an ordinary island, there is nothing special from him, there is no potential for natural resources that can be explored here. But for treasure hunters, this small island to get a special position in their hearts. How not, the story of a hidden treasure on the island are 140 area (57 ha) was always haunted the minds of travelers seeking a true treasure for almost two more centuries
The story of Oak Island treasure about beginning to sound more than two centuries ago. According to the story of mouth which must have spread to every corner of this world, several centuries ago, someone with an unknown reason had hidden his wealth in large numbers in one part of the island. Thus began the late 18th century treasure seekers began flocking to the island came to Oak vying for the hidden treasure it. A lot of energy, time and money has been issued for following your passion and obsessive compulsive thoughts treasure seekers, but the results up to now hidden treasures that can still be found.
Actually, the story and the Oak Island treasure story starts from 16-year-old teenager named Daniel MC Ginnis. Daniel is very fond of all activities associated with adventure and travel through the wilderness is very interested in Oak Island. At that moment, precisely in the year 1795, Daniel and his two friends went to a small island by using a Kano. They docked at the small pier Smith's Cove, southeast of the island. Seeing the island atmosphere quite beautiful and eerie as if to challenge their souls as a true adventurer to explore. Daniel and his two friends and then continue their journey into the island. When in the midst of thick wild vegetation in a part of the island, Daniel was interested in the collection of a fallen oak tree. He was more interested because of some fallen tree he approached there is an oak tree that was very old standing proud among the fallen trees around it.
Because both interesting and curious, Daniel called his friend, then they check the situation around the tree until finally the three teens find something more interesting, namely a hole covered by a wall made of clay. With a sense of the curious and open the third hole and a dig. When the excavation reached the depth of 3 meters, they found something interesting again. The hole was blocked by a few pieces of oak wood fitted intersect each other so impressive that someone who deliberately prevent him digging deeper.
But the three teens did not give up, still covered with curiosity, they removed the timber one by one and they do continue to dig. Until the excavation of about 6 meters, they stopped because the hole was ended with a clay wall again. They still believe, if the walls are torn down, the hole can still be dug deeper. But it is not their doing. From here they realize there must be something valuable hidden away in there.
Approximately nine years later, desire and passion to uncover the mystery of Oak Island began to grow again in their lives. Now, all three of our friends has grown into mature young men, they are not a kid anymore and certainly they are more adventurous souls to be. All three of them decided to return to the island and doing excavation again 9 years old who could forget. Their preparation is more mature than last time. They started to dig. At a depth of 27.4 meters, they alleged that nine years ago was right. Indeed there is something precious had been hidden in there because of the depth that they returned to find a manhole cover made of clay. The difference of the closing hole that they had previously found at a depth of cover is this one hole to the inscription.
But his writings are difficult to read because the writing with symbols and codes that inscription was strange that they ignore. Inscription of the three boys were ignored can finally be translated meaning by a professor from the University Halifax after further generations of treasure hunters found him in the same place. It also happened about a century later since the excavations by Daniel, et al. Meaning of the codes of inscription was quite surprising, because when translated read: "Three meters below the money it saved two million pounds".
The sentence is written in this inscription further encourage the other treasure seekers to try his hand at Oak Island. Excavations in the hole so that the Money (Money Pit) is still being implemented. For centuries, treasure hunters digging alternated in the hole of money, but they always came home empty-handed. The treasure seekers began to decrease in number in the 21st century. Apparently the secret money pit is not easily solved by them, to prevent so heavy. Barriers that often form water suddenly filled the hole, and so on. Even recorded in the year 1937 three people were killed in the hole digger that money added to the list of murky history of his victims.
Many believe the treasure seekers, that really is not treasure hidden in the hole. Someone who had hidden his wealth in a few centuries ago it probably did something quite clever. He may have just dug to a depth of 30 to 35 feet away, then make another tunnel on the right or left of the main hole to penetrate the territory of the other Oak Island. If this argument is true, of course, quite sad to see the treasure-seekers who can afford to dig to a depth of nearly 60 meters with no results. But unfortunately, the tunnel is yet to be found and it seems the secret treasure of Oak Island will be the eternal mystery
