What Scientists JUST FOUND At Oak Island SHOCKS Everybody!

one of the things that was kind of curious on the map is they list kids treasure was written in pen right there even back then they believ that Captain kids treasure was buried on no close about 3 in yeah as the legina brothers continue their quest to uncover this long hidden Fortune a scientist makes a surprising discovery on the controversial Island today is the last day there's no question about it this Revelation astonishes critics who doubted the team's efforts and dedications what did the

scientists 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 number one shocking discovery on Oak Island 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 exa

mine 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 legina 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 si

lver 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 held jewelry was jewelry and 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 s

ignals in the way 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 kind of 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 number two 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 legina 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 legina 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 mouthwatering 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 ft 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 platfo

rms every 10 ft down to the 90ft level of depth the slight problem is that the exact location of the shaft has been obscured after a halfhazard expedition in the 1960s caused clay seawater mud and other detrius to collapse into multiple holes dug around the original Money Pit these days the legina 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 h

ave found their efforts truncated by Apparent booby traps the traps are tunneled 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 500t long tunnel from nearby Smith's Cove ensures that as soon as the water is pumped out of the hold it fills back up again how these traps came to be is still an unanswered question another thing about Oak Island th

at 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 number three 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 o

f all the reports the most accepted version is that of the teenager we mention mentioned earlier this version states that way back in 1795 a 16-year-old boy named Daniel mcginness 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 a rope and Tackle system is used to lower something to the ground additional exploration revealed an ancient Road built along the

Island's west side and there was other evence evidence of a prior settlement in the area having found the Intriguing sight mcginness 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 7 ft deep and had clay soil with pick marks as they dug further down to a depth of 10 ft they found thick logs the boys were ill equipped to go further and so the digging was abandoned 9 years later they retur

ned 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 ft there were platforms of thick oak logs when they dug to 90 ft 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 5 f

t 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 ly a professor of languages at delusi 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 40 ft below 2 million pound are buried with that interest in the hunt was renewed and even people who had no p

rior 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 kid number four Captain kid and the Oak Island Treasure depend depending on who you ask the most commonly assumed origin of the Oak Island Treasure is that it may con

stitute the buried loot of the notorious Captain William kid he was a pirate from Scotland in the 1690s who was rumored to have buried a huge treasure on one of his voyages as to whether a portion of Captain kid'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 horde that he buried on gardener island off the eastern coast of Long Island the theory of the Oak Island Treasure being Captain ki

d'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 kid and that he had helped kid bury $4 million in gold on an isolated island east of Boston he claimed that he never reveale

d 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 upside down in search of the treasure to no avail it was these stories of pirates treasure that Daniel mcin recalled when he stumbled across the tree and the depression in the Earth on Oak Island it is easy to see why the story easily came to mind Oak Island

Nova Scotia about 700 m east of Boston there is yet another theory about how the treasure that the legina brothers are seeking on Oak Island got there number five Maya or Aztec treasure throughout history it is well established that the peoples of the Americas possessed vast amounts of gold and silver and these tremendous Treasures were used for all manner of purposes it would seem however that their fascination with these precious metals in terms of monetary value did lose to that of the Spanis

h who sought to relieve them of it this theory is that Oak Island became a depository for the Spanish conquerors of the new world back in the day and the buried treasure belonged to the Incas the Mayans or probably the Aztecs as long as they Spaniards if the treasure did arrive on the island from a southern American location it may help to explain the vast amount of coconut fiber present in The Money Pit as well as on the beaches it would not be the first time that a treasure gallion was blown f

ar off course and needed to find shelter nor would it be difficult to imagine a corrupt system wherein a group of Spaniards were siphoning off some of the treasures from the new world and needed a repository to keep their loot safe there is also another the theory that says that Spain owns the treasure however instead of the entire Spain being the depositors it was the Inca Empire itself that created The Money Pit and made the deposit which is yet to be found to this day this theory is an offsho

ot of a legend according to this Legend the Spanish conquistador Francisco pizaro was promised a room filled with gold after he spared the life of the Inca King atah walpa but decided instead to have the King gaded on July 26 6th 1533 one Rahi the king's General was on his way to deliver gold for the ransom when he learned that the king had been murdered the general forgot about paying the ransom and dispatched Porters East to uninhabited areas where they later returned for more Treasures to sta

sh away Legends suggest that the treasure had been hidden in a cave or dumped into a lake but others suggest that it went to the far north to a small island off the coast of of Nova Scotia the distance is quite unreasonable given the circumstances in which they traveled to stash treasure unless of course they took to the sea and a storm transported them to unfamiliar lands number six Marie Antoinette's jewelry remember our mention of Franklin D Roosevelt the 32nd president of the United States a

nd how he was into the treasure well he has his own theory of its Origins he believed that the treasure comprised The Missing Crown Jewels of France this theory is built around the notion that King Louis thefan of France and Marie antoinet were fleeing Paris with the missing jewels as well as with their own private and personal gems in June of 1791 however they were captured at varen without the treasures and jewels the story is that a lady in waiting escaped with them she made her way across th

e Atlantic Ocean to The Fortress of Lewisburg from there the idea is that the jewels were stashed away somewhere secure which of course is the Oak Island money pit theorists have noticed a problem with this Theory the problem is in the timeline the jewels would have had to have been hidden somewhere between the Paris feast in 1791 and the money pits Discovery in 1795 with Halifax expanding and the southern shore of Nova Scotia seeing population growth and sea traffic it seems unlikely for this T

heory to be a viable Contender number seven the night Templars and the Oak Island Treasure the Templars which existed between 1129 and 1312 Crusades were one of the wealthiest and most powerful organizations in Europe members of the order were revered as skilled Fighters during the Crusades and other members were known and respected for their economic prowess and the Innovative Financial techniques they introduced into businesses as powerful as they were their undoing came when King Philip the f

eve of France who at that time was deeply indebted to the order made an order for the arrest of key Templar leaders in 1307 the pope followed suit on November 22nd when he issued a decree that all Templars be arrested and their assets seized according to Legend many Templars fled to Scotland to take refuge there that didn't just fly empty-handed they took with them Priceless religious Treasures including the Holy Grail from their Sanctuary at The Fortress of Monsur the genuiness of this event ha

s been in doubt for years until the writing of a a book by Michael Bradley titled Holy Grail Across The Atlantics which presents enticing evidence that such an event indeed occurs in turn this led to a possible role played in The Mysterious Oak Island money pit it is also worthy to note that the Templar order continued in Portugal as the EM militar de Christo meaning military order of Christ King Dennis thirst of Portugal refused to follow the orders of the Pope and instead he simply changed the

order's name a Portuguese explorer named joa Alvarez fagundes was said to have visited Nova Scotia around the year 1521 in 1607 Samuel Des shampan found an old moss covered cross near what is now Advocate Nova Scotia which some believe was erected by fagundes 80 years earlier another connection shows that the Templars would be aware of the existence of these lands the late Zena Halper a Knights Templar researcher from New York and previously mentioned in regard to the inscribed stone also intro

duced a map with strong evidence linking the Templars to Oak Island only time will tell if these two are indeed connected or not number eight Sir Francis Bacon's manuscripts have you ever heard that William Shakespeare's books were written by someone else Sir Francis Bacon is an enigmatic character which seems perfectly suited to his fascination with ciphers and codes bonian and his devotees are known to contend that he was the author of Shakespeare works but not just Shakespeare's but other con

temporary writers too the reason this claim still lacks Merit is because original manuscripts have never been found but they are thought to be hidden in a chamber beneath Oak Island it is said that Francis Bacon stated that he would be known for who he really was long after his death the theories of the origins of Oak Island Treasure are not finished there's this theory that says that the treasure is a church number nine missing treasure of St Andrews Cathedral some people believe that the money

pit holds treasure from the ancient Cathedral of St Andrews in Scotland during the time of Cromwell the wealthy were suppressed and items such as ecclesiastical plates gold silver gems and goods stolen from the English found their way to the cathedral in 1560 there was a sudden disappearance the vast amount of reserves allegedly held there were not to be found and were never recovered after the sudden and M mysterious disappearance of the church it is claimed that this treasure found its way to

Oak Island although this Theory seems unreasonable while the reasoning behind crossing the Atlantic and burying them on an isolated island off Nova Scotia is unclear it isn't entirely impossible whatever the origin of the treasure the story of how it came to the island and ended up being buried there remains shrouded in secrecy in the centuries since it's been quite hard to tell fact apart from myth since most of the Island's treasure hunting history has been perpetuated largely through hearsay

and speculation there's also the likelihood of treasure Seekers spreading false information to throw others off the scent seeing that treasure Seekers are not thrown off by the numerous theories surrounding it it does not come as a surprise that different things have been found on the treasure hunt the Michigan Brothers Marty and Rick legina and their team of treasure Hunters have been digging around a Nova scotian Island for about 8 years on the popular show The Curse of Oak Island and in 8 ye

ars they've had nine Seasons during this Nine Season run the legina brothers have been on a constant search for the hidden treasure perhaps buried on the island by Pirates the British military ancient French monarchs or even the Knights Templar in the course of their search the legina brothers along with metal detection expert Gary Drayton have mostly found mud wood and various metal tools however they along with an assortment of Science and archaeological experts have made a surprising amount o

f other discoveries hidden throughout the 140 acres of land said to be a cursed island did they find anything valuable though number 10 gold in the hatch absolutely in one show episode the treasure hunt team went deeper into the Island's heart on a mission to uncover the secrets hidden beneath Oak Island as they dug further they became more puzzled by the Island's mysterious history and the thought of finding a hidden tunnel maybe even deep at the very bottom of the pit excited them they knew th

ey were on the brink of something important a discovery that could change everything they eagerly waited for that aha moment when everything finally clicked they were determined not to give up believing that the answers they sought had been right in front of them all along the team could sense themselves getting close closer to discovering something huge with each step bringing them closer to the Island's Mysteries and uncovering treasures that had been buried it wasn't just the team hoping for

a breakthrough Rick Marty Lars nen and archam metalurgy expert Emma Culligan presented their findings at the Oak Island interpretive Center they grouped themselves hungry for knowledge about the islands history and eagerly awaiting a scientific report hopefully this could be a breaking point that brings them closer to a massive Discovery the xrf results from DN 11.5 deduced the presence of a tunnel which was an amazing find for them a moment that meant that all their efforts would lead to succes

s and bring them to the final door the room was filled with tension and hope as the group gathered to hear the findings the xrf analysis of DN 11.5 produced results that perfectly matched the their expectations the brilliant specialist in archam metalurgy Emma Drew up a thrilling conclusion based on her study of their findings after carefully inspecting a piece of dried wood collected from the passageway using an x-ray spectrometer she discovered traces of the typical materials found on Oak Isla

nd on the island there was a lot of iron manganese titanium calcium potassium and aluminum while these are all common things she continued her thorough study of the results leaving everything to be turned in this was when things got interesting she came across an unexpected find which was gold when they realized that the piece of wood they were analyzing contained traces of this precious metal their excitement knew no bounds what was gold doing there and it was a very big outliner which was very

remarkable the team couldn't help but ask Emma if finding gold was unexpected in the results with a light chuckle Emma confirmed that finding gold was indeed unusual based on the results she presented to the team as they analyzed the sample they made a surprising discovery the amount of gold was about 0.004% of the total weight let's glance at some of the treasure hunt team's other discoveries number 11 the night Templar coin in the fifth episode of the second season of The Curse of Oak Island

titled the 90t stone the discovery involved a small coin found three episodes earlier initially believed to be a marav coin Gary Drayton and his team made a more intriguing Discovery upon close inspection after cleaning up the coin Tony Samson a treasure hunter and diver noticed a unique cross design on one side this cross looked like the symbol associated with the Knights Templar the group we had ruined earlier in the 13th century known for establishing one of the earliest International banking

systems what started as the discovery of a small Spanish marav coin now seemed like a possible link to a significant Knight's Templar treasure hidden somewhere on Oak Island it cleared a little doubt as to whether the treasure was buried there by the night Templars this finding introduced a new twist to the Oak Island Story suggesting a connection to a famous medieval group with a strong financial influence the idea that the coin could be connected to the knight's Templar added mystery and exci

tement to the ongoing search for treasure number 12 maretti copper coin in the last episode of the first season titled the find while searching through a swamp metal detection expert Steve zazul stumbled upon a coin with eight engraved it was later identified as a Spanish 8 mares copper coin most likely from the 17th century in the premiere of season 2 titled Once In Forever in the coin was cleaned and examined revealing the year 1652 in grave on the other side further analysis of the coin revea

led that it had been lost in the swamp for hundreds of years and not recently planted all the signs pointed to this being a legitimate historical Discovery the first of many throughout the show the significance of this discovery is that it showed that the brothers were on the right track could this simple copper coin be evidence of hidden pirate wealth I guess we'll have to wait and see what are your thoughts about these scientific discoveries let us know in the comments thank you for watching R
