Everyone knew that he spent way more money than his logging business warned him. Nearly every bit of the original city is/was connected to him. He could have named this city after him...Hackleyville, Hackleytown, or Hackleyton? Whether or not a boxcar full of gold was dumped into the lake actually happened, is pretty doubtful to me. Boxcars weren't easy to move by hand, and one with gold would be even harder to move. Especially once the first set of trucks went over, it would have landed precariously on it's frame and be nearly impossible to move without a traction engine, back in the early 20th century. I'd love to proven wrong, as I've been rooting for Marty and Rick since season one of oak island!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907655877560588692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-69684933255034100542018-03-04T18:30:56.570-08:002018-03-04T18:30:56.570-08:00The brooch setting showed a greenish-blue patina a...The brooch setting showed a greenish-blue patina around the inner circumference when they unearthed it. Precious metals do not oxidize in this color but brass does. 500 years ago a precious gemstone would not have been set in brass. Also, in the closeup photos of said gemstone, on the facet edges you can clearly see where they are abraded like sea glass would be. A real gemstone facet edge would fracture off in tiny flakes. I’m completely unconvinced and unimpressed with this “find”. But it’s do like the show and wish I could be a part of it.

I love this show & will be watching the civil war show too!

How about they chase the Lost Adams or the Lost Dutchman too.

This ruby could be worth an enormous amount of money. <br />I would suggest you do some research on the Templar Connection. Read history regarding the Crusades from biblical times. They have history dead on. I know non believers (Christians) question the Bible, the connection is real. <br />Next show previews showed a table full of treasure laid out. You’ll change your tune in the final episode! <br />There is years of treasure hunfing ahead in The Curse of Oak Island, plus a new show starting next week staring the Laguna Brothers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842803277754496471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-44929840604536370912018-02-23T22:36:00.600-08:002018-02-23T22:36:00.600-08:00I'm amazed at their persistence.

They've found keys, hinges, keyhole thingies, a few coins - its as if the treasure (if there ever was any) was long before looted and the worthless scraps left behind to be cruelly found some hundreds of years later. I do find the bones intriguing and parchment - what on earth is that stuff doing so far down? But perhaps its just stuff that came in from the sea because I also thought at Kevin did, couldn't this just come in from the sea somehow down there and not quite necessarily a 'booby trap'? <br /><br />The cross and the Templar connection, although I am not qualified in any way, I find tenuous to be honest. Its not an 'exact match' as they keep saying, nor is it in my opinion 'definitely' the goddess or whatever Zena proclaimed it to be.<br /><br />Although I do love watching the show and share the passion the Lagina boys do on the whole possibility of the mystery and the treasure somehow still being intact, the 'clues' they've found to me show there is nothing left, if there was ever anything. I do think there likely was but its long gone now. I get the feeling with the water flooding in that this could be the last straw, just have a feeling. Also with the new Civil War treasure show with Marty involved, I think maybe has moved on, perhaps Rick will continue with the search, who knows. But I think the end is, sadly, nigh. We'll see. They apparently find this gem next week so maybe I'll be proven wrong - and I hope I am!<br /><br />TheDimovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882471911353036958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-48890023475378433652018-02-23T04:03:23.218-08:002018-02-23T04:03:23.218-08:00As a young boy I recall reading about Oak Island a...As a young boy I recall reading about Oak Island and the elaborate wood-log traps that would<br />flood in order to scuttle anyone's attempt to claim the treasure. I also recall reading<br />about the drilling that brought up bits of gold chain as proof that the treasure was down<br />there. My conclusion today is that if a treasure had really existed it was looted long ago<br />or someone simply lied about it being there for whatever reason and may have salted the<br />area to make people believe something was there. Also, as a young boy I was very interested<br />in the subject of UFO's. I would go to our school library and read any book I could on the<br />subject of UFO's. As I came across books written by people like Klass or the Condon Report<br />I would not accept their conclusions that UFO's were bunk. Today, being in my late 50's I<br />have talked to many people, especially former military and have to conclude that this planet<br />is of interest to Alien beings. I hope we get absolute proof of that as I don't think we'll<br />find that Oak Island treasure.couldbebetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895752844899216415noreply@blogger.com
