The Secrets of Oak Island - throwing money down a hole

[Karl der Grosse]

So, Oak Island. We all know about the show on History, we love watching these doofuses blow tons of money. I want to hear people's theories on what's buried down there.

 

[Tootsie Bear]

A treasure chest which only contains an I.O.U note.

I don't think there's actually anything there. I believe that the idea of buried treasure was started as some sort of prank.

Reading up on Oak Island more than a decade ago, it felt mysterious and strange. Now, with all the media exploitation it got, it feels like some fake bullshit.
I wonder if there ever actually was anything that was initially reported, like the barricade of logs every couple of metres down and the weird drainage tunnel.

Nowadays, I think the TV show is just pulling the leg of the viewer by endlessly presenting the search for something and it has become more opportune to not find anything, cause it would cut short the entire show.
If there ever was anything worth checking out, it is long gone now.

They will find the treasure when the ratings drop, and they decide to pull the plug. Until then, they will string along the idiots who think that Ancient Aliens is a credible source.

Inside the chest is a small, perfect clone of the island with its own treasure hunters.

 

[MasterDisaster]

They'll find a red and blue chest that when opened quickly pulls them into a black, endless void; there they'll find a singular, middle aged man staring at them. He opens his mouth and in a cold, static voice starts to speak;


"Hello there! Welcome to the world of pokémon! My name is Oak! People call me the pokémon Prof! This world is inhabited by creatures called pokémon! For some people, pokémon are pets. Others use them for fights. Myself...I study pokémon as a profession."

"Now tell me...are you a boy or girl?"

They need to stop wasting money on this and instead solve a real mystery. Why do kids like the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I only recently heard about this show from a friend.

The simple fact that the people involved are allowing a show about what's happening to be made screams out bullshit.

I mean, if I knew where there could potentially be some kind of treasure, I'd want as few people as possible to know about it.

 

[Fandom Trash]

At least its better than that tv show "finding bigfoot".

But when I first read about oak island, I thought it was a really interesting story and the fact that there might be something down there.

Of course the media thought it would make a better show than documentary and Ive lost all interest.

The fact that several peoplw have died trying to find treasure hasnt seem to deter peoplee from digging it up.

I think its old treasures, nothing mucb, but a few goodies.

HOW MANY LICKS

The real question is who can handle not crunching?

 

[Karl der Grosse]

Apparently my mom thinks the True Cross is buried there along with the Ark of the Covenant and the giant Menorah. But not the Holy Grail, because everyone knows the Holy Grail ain't real.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

So did they ever find the treasure?

 

[WickyWickyWoW]

So did they ever find the treasure?

They did, ten plus seasons of the technical problems of mining engineering and the occasional spat of archeology and history, all of which probably netting a pretty penny to the people running the show. That is the real treasure of oak Island. TV ratings

They should just turn it into a tourist trap. Let people pay for the privilege of digging for the treasure themselves.

Personally, I don't think there was ever a treasure there. People probably gamed themselves into thinking there was one after digging up a hole and seeing natural phenomena.
