Oak Island Treasure Found

[Cfmct]

This is why they are wasting their time on Oak Island

Someone buried treasure 2,000 years ago and never returned. A hiker just found it

A shiny glint on the forest floor revealed the long-forgotten treasures.

I think they are still milking the bits of wood and ox shoes for all they are worth (which is not much!)

Craig, there has been more caches discovered by accident, than by purposeful looking. ESPECIALLY when you start comparing the classic treasure-legends vs accidental. You NEVER hear of any of the legends being found. But you often hear of accidental finds. Or just dumb luck of an md'r "digging up that hubcap signal to get it out of the way" type thing.

For example, laborers digging a ditch, or demolition workers tearing down the walls of an old building, or tearing out a floor, etc...

One of my friends who has since passed, while digging fence post holes came across a small treasure to him.. a dozen colonial coppers and some silver coinage, I don't know what they were because he gave the coins to his son... but he told me it was about 3 dozen coins in total and the remnants of a leather bag... where I live the British marched through my town burning it on the way to Danbury, they left only 6 houses standing.. burned everything else...

The historian Ed Eckert is a friend of mine and a client... I hunted his property several times pulling large cents, a British cartwheel penny, dozen of buttons...
