Read this quite a long time ago June 11, 2005
Daffydd (Ontario, Canada)
The book is very good covering the early history of the island; a few kids find a rock and some other signs and start digging. They find layers of rocks, planks, coconut shell fibres... and then more people got involved... because of a legend of buried Pirate treasure! More and more man laid layers, traps that let in ocean water, and bits of map gold and planks that were drilled out; and a legend the treasure will not be found until 6 people die in the attempt to find the secret. Written in '78 the book isn't up to date, but the recent times aren't very interesting, which is basically industrial clear cut mining... and the location of the original hole the kids began to dig... long lost.
Amazingly true June 11, 2004

What lies beneath the surface of Oak Island? This is one of the biggest mysteries of our time. Since the 1700's attempts have been made to discover the treasure many people believe is hidden under the ground on this island off Nova Scotia.
The search has been long and arduous, starting with the discovery of a ship's box located in the branches of a tree on the isle. As digging reached a certain point, water rushed in. When the source of this booby trap was discovered, it created more questions than answers.
Theories abound as to what might be buried in this supposed treasure hoard. Some even think it is an elaborate hoax. Maybe some day in the future the mystery will be solved.
