The Quest for the Treasure

One day a man named Daniel McInnis wandered off the coast of Nova Scotia and on to Oak Island. He walked further onto the island and discovered a big tree with scars on it from rope and chains. On it was hanging a tackle box, Daniel knew right away that treasure lied beneath. Later on he and two friends came back to the site to find the treasure. They dug down to 4 feet deep and hit a solid floor of flagstones, at ten feet they hit a floor of solid wood logs, and again at 20 30 40 50 60 70 and 80 feet they hit logs. The ones at 60 and 80 feet were sealed with coconut fibre and putty. At 90 feet they found a large stone that was not found in Nova Scotia. It had ingraved letters on it, and it was followed by logs. At 107f there was a flood tunnel that was thought to have water from Smiths cove, off to the east of Oak Island. A person named John Smith dug a second tunnel beside the pit and at 100f a hit logs, then a thick block of metal, again he hit logs and again he hit a thick block of metal. They hit the flood tunnel a 107f and discovered the problem. Later they dug a third shaft down to the flood tunnel and tried blocking it with a damn, but a unusually high tide washed it away. They tried to block it with a bolder which let them reach 125 feet where they hit a sheet of iron and at 145 feet they hit first a soft stone, oak logs, loose metal , and a parchment fragment inscribing clearly the letters V.I.

During another quest for the treasure a driller was scalded to death in a steam pipe explosion, and during another a father and son were both stuck in the shaft with two others , one of the workers was saved but the other three were killed by the chemicals. So all that the Money Pit created were countless dollars wasted and many lives lost.
