TERRIFYING Discovery On Oak Island During Borehole 10-X Excavation!

When Rick and Marty Lagina decided to check out a strange borehole called 10x during their quest on Oak Island, they were not prepared for the terror they were about to find. Curious and determined, they engaged their machines and manpower to dissect the Dan Blankenship’s creation. What did they find? Why did Blankenship forget the borehole in the 1970s? Join us as we reveal the terrifying discovery made by the Lagina brothers deep inside the borehole 10x.

Deep Inside A Strange Large Hole

The Oak Island mystery that convincingly suggested a treasure chest buried deep in the island by early settlers has had many people hooked since childhood, including the Lagina brothers. However, they decided to satisfy their curiosity. The Lagina brothers join a long list of excavators that started as far back as the 18th century in a bid to discover the treasure buried on the island.

Where there have been some noteworthy finds, the Lagina brothers are yet to find the treasure and they would not rest till they do. Unlike any other excavation group, the Lagina brothers employed the use of solid technologies like metal detectors to make the search easier. Instead of digging through every nook and cranny of the island, they just follow the metal detector.

One fateful day, the Lagina brothers were on site. They were another search closer to finding out if the Oak Island mystery was true or if it had been a fallacy all along when they stumbled upon a 27-inch borehole big enough to tolerate a person. The borehole went down to about 235 feet below the surface.

The borehole created by renowned treasure hunter Dan Blankenship was not just a play creation or something to brag about. It was an intentional act taken by Blankenship and his partner Tobias as they tried to dissect an anomaly in the unknown. Maybe it was probably the key to unlocking the elusive Oak Island mystery.

The creation of the borehole and the findings of Dan Blankenship prompted the Laguna brothers to carry out further research. Blankenship’s theory was that there was probably a strange structure constructed deep in the island that was supposed to protect something. According to Blankenship, maybe this underground structure was a system that was used to protect the treasure.

However, if someone or a group of people would go through the trouble of building a strange structure 235 feet below ground level, how massive was the treasure? It also tells us something. If Blankenship’s theory was true, it means that the person or group of people who built the underground structure were technically sound. They knew something about the Earth’s topography, gravity, and pressure.

When the Lagina brothers stumbled on the borehole, along with their team, they tried to go down to check, but the water level had risen. It covered a good part of the borehole, so they had to use another means. Thanks to technological advancement, they got an underwater camera which they sent into the borehole.

As the underwater camera sank to the bottom, their heart raced because they were watching from their computer. Just as the underwater camera was about to hit the bottom of the borehole, they saw something. This discovery excited them and they were ready to act on it.

Before the underwater camera hit the ground, the Lagina brothers and their team noticed a break in structure and as the camera went down, they caught a glimpse of a hollow at the end of the borehole. What did the hollowness mean? Was anything inside? One thing we knew for sure was that the Lagina brothers were about to find out.

A Daring Portal Into The Unknown

When the Lagina brothers got to the borehole, they only had one thing on their minds, which was to prove Blankenship’s theory. If they could successfully prove it, they would be so close to the hidden treasure. However, we need to start from the beginning. Who was Dan Blankenship and what made him believe that there was a strange structure deep beneath the ground’s surface?

When Dan Blankenship decided to focus his energy on Oak Island and its mysteries, he was about to uncover something that had not been known to any man. Born in Ohio, Blankenship joined the United States Army and fought through Europe in the Second World War. He saw hell as he watched two of his friends pass away right next to him. According to his brother David, Dan had PTSD from his time in the war, but nobody knew what it was at that time. However, one life nugget he took from his time in service was that he was not afraid of anyone.

Soon enough, he married Jane Blankenship, had three children, and moved into the construction industry in the 1950s. Blankenship was a hopelessly driven dreamer with gold in his eyes. He had an affinity for unusual circumstances. Basketball is great, but will it get me the gold? Blankenship was always thinking far ahead of others. He wanted an adventure and maybe Oak Island was going to give him that. He did well as a general contractor and had just finished building an 80-bed hospital when he came across the article in Readers’ Digest in 1965.

One legend makes the pit the hiding place for the plunder of Captain Kidd, who was hanged for piracy in 1701, read the article penned by David MacDonald. Other theories favor the booty of Blackbeard and Henry Morgan, both notorious buccaneers; or Inca treasure stolen by Spaniards; or the French crown jewels that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were said to be carrying when they attempted to flee during the French Revolution; or Shakespeare’s missing manuscripts.

That was all it took for Blankenship. Here is Oak Island, just off the coast of Nova Scotia, near the well-heeled town of Chester. It is a 56-hectare postage stamp shrouded by trees and central to a mystery that has been tormenting treasure hunters, like Dan Blankenship, for more than 200 years.

Just like the Lagina brothers, the idea of a buried treasure chest worth a crazily substantial amount of money fascinated many great men, celebrities, and politicians, including Dan Blankenship. It was not just the idea of the treasure, it was the way it was to be found and the stories that led to it being buried that fascinated people. Imagine finding a 200-and-above years treasure on a historical island because you found the spot. Nothing beats that feeling of discovery.

The treasure mystery was so fascinating that reputable individuals with sustainable jobs left in their hometowns to gamble and Dan Blankenship was one of them. He had a good contracting business in Florida, he had great friends and a good reputation. Still, he left all that for the idea.

It is a strange Canadian mystery dating back to 1795. A teenager happened upon a clearing and saw an oak tree with a missing branch and beneath it, an unusual depression in the earth. So he began to dig, an excavation that revealed an underground shaft; a Money Pit.

Then different theories started flying around. Some said it was pirate booty, perhaps even the riches of Captain Kidd himself. Others imagined Aztec gold, the lost treasures of the Templar Knights, a tomb for Norse kings, and even Shakespeare’s original manuscripts. But Blankenship knew that he could be anything or nothing, and he chose to find out.

I read about Oak Island in the January 1965, issue of Reader’s Digest, Mr. Blankenship said. I handed the article to my wife and said, read this. She read it and shrugged, said, so what? He had believed it already and he was going there, he told her. Soon enough, Blankenship moved to Oak Island.

No treasure had been found until that point, according to the article, but it was estimated that the buried riches were worth in the neighborhood of $1.5 million. When Blankenship first arrived in Nova Scotia, leaving behind a successful contracting business in Miami, Florida, he stayed at the Oak Island Motel, owned by his friend David Eisner’s grandparents. After a while, Dan built a house on Oak Island to be closer to the treasure.

Then Blankenship started his quest to find the treasure. Soon enough, he got David Tobias, Robert Dunfield, and Fred Nolan to form a syndicate for exploration on the island. Two years later, Blankenship and Tobias formed Triton Alliance after purchasing most of the island.

While searching for clues, the Triton workers excavated a 235-foot, about 72-meter shaft, known as Borehole 10X and supported by a steel caisson to bedrock, in 1971. Before then Dan and his team noticed some timbers while they were digging the ground. Based on the timber discovery, Blankenship concluded that there was a structure constructed deep beneath the earth in connection to the treasure.

He suggested that there was something of value beneath that portion of the Island that someone or a group of persons had painstakingly built a structure around. According to Blankenship, this structure was either to easily move the object or to protect whatever valuable was beneath the ground. When Dan also noticed what looked like man-made artifacts in the carved borehole, he was convinced that the flood tunnel shaft was constructed by a human being.

Blankenship and Tobias had cameras lowered down the shaft into a cave that recorded possible chests, human remains, wooden cribbing, and tools. Could this be the treasure everyone was looking for?

However, the images were unclear and none of the claims have been independently confirmed. These claims were what the Lagina brothers were trying to prove. While Blankenship and his teams were still trying to decipher the image, the shaft collapsed and the excavation was abandoned as water crept
