What Scientists JUST FOUND At Oak Island SHOCKS Everybody!

As the Lagina brothers continue their quest to uncover this long-hidden fortune, a scientist makes a surprising discovery on the controversial island. This revelation astonishes critics who doubted the team’s efforts and dedication. What did the scientist discover, and how will it affect the future of the treasure hunt? Join us as we reveal the groundbreaking discovery that has shocked the world!

A recent discovery has added another layer of excitement to the treasure-hunting saga on Oak Island, particularly concerning the very evasive money pit. The source of excitement is a scientific survey by Dr. Ian Spooner, a geologist at Acadia University. He adopted a method known as X-ray fluorescence to examine and test the soil samples obtained from various parts of the money pit area, and the analysis results revealed a shocking discovery.

The discovery is shocking to those who do not believe that Oak Island has any treasure and to those who believe that the Lagina brothers are just wasting their time or staging a show. From the analysis results, it can be seen that some of the soil samples contained high amounts of silver. The discovery immediately sparked speculation that a substantial amount of silver coins or bars could be concealed beneath the island’s surface.

The importance of this discovery must be considered. It holds numerous opportunities and would open many doors when the silver is found. Silver has had a great history as one of the most valuable and coveted metals throughout the ages. It has served as currency, adorned jewelry, was used in valuable art, and played a significant role in different historical narratives.

Treasure hunters found many signs and signals while trying to unearth the mysterious treasure on Oak Island, and the discovery of silver raises the possibility that these treasure hunters are on the verge of finding the origins of the signals and structures they encountered in the money pit area.

Despite these significant parts of the treasure hunt, a great unexplained shadow still looms over the island. This shadow is in the form of the mysterious Curse of Oak Island. This curse has scared away many people who once decided to venture into the search for treasure. Is the curse that scary? Yes. The ominous legend suggests that seven people would have to perish before the treasure was unveiled.

The curse remains obscure. However, whether the curse is genuine or merely a myth hinges on one’s perspective. It is recorded that six people have undeniably lost their lives in the pursuit of this treasure and the secrets of Oak Island. These six tragic deaths have undoubtedly contributed to the mystique surrounding the curse of Oak Island and its eerie nature, leaving the curse as a compelling hunting facet of Oak Island.

Is the curse really real? Is it a myth? No one can say for sure. And what exactly is the money pit?

The Mysterious Money Pit

Since 2014, fans of the series titled The Curse of Oak Island have remained glued to their seats, watching the Michigan brothers, Rick and Marty Lagina, pursue one of the Western hemisphere’s most intriguing and eye-opening mysteries.

Following in the footsteps of past treasure-hunting hopefuls, including the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Lagina brothers have been trying to unearth a hidden trove that is believed to have been buried more than two centuries ago on this small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. The said trove is a mouth-watering cache, rumored to be very valuable; it could be anything from pirate booty to the Holy Grail to even the Ark of the Covenant.

Of all the spots on Oak Island where the brothers excavate, special attention is given to one spot generally known as the “Money Pit.” Through the centuries, this spot has yielded tantalizing relics, a mysterious inscribed stone, as well as numerous obstacles.

The money pit, located on the east side of Oak Island, is a shaft more than 100 feet deep. According to island lore, the spot first drew the attention of a local teenager in the area in 1795, who noticed an indentation in the ground and, with some of his friends, started to dig—only to find a man-made shaft featuring wooden platforms every 10 feet down to the 90-foot level of depth.

The slight problem is that the exact location of the shaft has been obscured after a haphazard expedition in the 1960s caused clay, seawater, mud, and other detritus to collapse into multiple holes dug around the original Money Pit. These days, the Lagina brothers excavate in spots that they hope are at least near the original pit, along with other locations around the island.

And, just like many treasure hunters and old timers before them, Rick and Marty have found their efforts truncated by apparent booby traps. The traps are tunnels dug into the ground at various depths; they’re designed in such a way as to flood the shaft with water and prevent seekers from digging any further.

According to The Oak Island Encyclopedia, for example, a 500-foot-long tunnel from nearby Smith’s Cove ensures that as soon as the water is pumped out of the hole, it fills back up again. How these traps came to be is still an unanswered question.

Another thing about Oak Island that has remained unanswered to date is how the treasure, which everybody is interested in, got there in the first place. Who was it that buried something on Oak Island and turned it into a treasure trove?

Treasure Hidden on Oak Island

The treasure of Oak Island goes way back. The early accounts of the treasure were passed along as oral history from one generation to another, up until the mid-1800s, when they were finally put down in writing. The details within the numerous reports vary, but of all the reports, the most accepted version is that of the teenager we mentioned earlier.

This version states that, way back in 1795, a sixteen-year-old boy named Daniel McGinnis was out on a fishing expedition when he noticed a mark in an old oak tree and a nearby depression in the ground. He came to the conclusion that the scar was caused by a rope-and-tackle system, used to lower something to the ground. Additional exploration revealed an ancient road built along the island’s west side, and there was other evidence of a prior settlement in the area.

Having found the intriguing site, McGinnis returned the following day with two friends, a few shovels, and pickaxes in hand. As they began to dig, the teenage boys discovered the mouth of a pit, which was seven feet deep and had clay soil with pick marks. As they dug further down to a depth of ten feet, they found thick logs. The boys were ill-equipped to go further, and so the digging was abandoned.

Nine years later, they returned with the help of an old businessman who had believed the tales the boys had told, and work resumed on the island with more crew and better tools. While digging deeper, the team discovered that at every 10 feet, there were platforms of thick oak logs. When they dug to 90 feet, the dig finally revealed its first significant clue—a stone inscribed with strange markings, but none of the team members could explain them.

Digging further into what later came to be known as “the money pit,” they sank a crowbar five feet and struck a hard substance. However, the sun had set, and the men went home with the idea of returning the following morning to retrieve the treasure they believed they had surely found. Remember the booby traps we mentioned? Sadly, as the sun rose and the men returned, they discovered the entire shaft filled with water.

It was discovered that the original architects who had constructed the pit had built in the booby trap that the crew had unintentionally triggered. The frustrating part was that every attempt to pump the water out of the existing pit or create a new one alongside its predecessor failed, and the mission was subsequently abandoned.

In 1865, there was a twist of luck when James Leichti, a professor of languages at Dalhousie College, was able to decipher the markings on the stone that the boys had found. This is the part where everything went crazy. He stated that the inscription read, “Forty feet below two million pounds are buried.” With that, interest in the hunt was renewed, and even people who had no prior interest had to recheck themselves as Oak Island became a treasure trove for many.

Now, of course, questions would be asked about how this treasure got there. While there have been many theories about what lies beneath the ground on Oak Island and how it got there, initial speculation favored a treasure left by the infamous Captain Kidd.

Captain Kidd and the Oak Island Treasure

Depending on who you ask, the most commonly assumed origin of the Oak Island Treasure is that it may constitute the buried loot of the notorious Captain William Kidd. He was a pirate from Scotland in the 1690s who is rumored to have buried a huge treasure on one of his voyages. As to whether a portion of Captain Kidd’s treasure was stashed on the island, the captain is the only major pirate figure for whom there is actual evidence of him hiding his treasure, specifically a hoard that he buried on Gardiner’s Island off the eastern coast of Long Island.

The theory of the Oak Island treasure being Captain Kidd’s buried treasure first began with the story of an old sailor and soldier who lived on the coast of New England. The man was considered mysterious in his community because he was a recluse and often mute. However, on his deathbed, he told an interesting tale of his younger years.

In his almost unbelievable stories, he alleged that he had been aboard the ship of Captain William Kidd and that he had helped Kidd bury four million dollars in gold on an isolated island east of Boston. He claimed that he never revealed his secret or claimed the treasure because he feared that he would be captured and charged with piracy.

Like Californian wildlife, the story spread rapidly amongst the early settlers of New England, and many of the nearby islands were turned
