Mystery, treasure, and death are some words used to describe Oak Island, a 140 acre island off the south shore of Nova Scotia. What makes this island so mysterious you ask? Well what about its artificial man-made beach, or its triangle-shaped forest, or even better, Nolan’s cross which is a natural formation of boulders forming a cross. But the biggest mystery of Oak Island is the infamous “Money Pit”. Past Excavations
It was said that in 1795 a teenager saw strange lights coming from an island off the shore from his parents’ house. He then went to the island to investigate and he saw a large depression on the ground and a tree hanging over it with a pulley.

At 90 feet a stone tablet was found with strange inscriptions. When decoded it says,” forty feet below, two million pounds are buried”. It was also found that there were 2 flood tunnels east and west of the money pit. When a drill was sent to the pit, it brought back some samples of a gold chain. And just recently a fisherman found an authentic roman sword off the Coast of Oak Island.

Will the mystery of the money pit ever be solved? And if it is, what lies at the bottom of the pit? Gold? Jewelry? Or maybe nothing. There has been many attempts in the past but all of them failed. Even with all the technology now, nobody has found what was at the bottom of the money pit. There has been a couple of discoveries in Oak Island which hints what might be in the money pit. And there is still a legend about 7 people dying before the treasure is found and all the trees being gone before the treasure is found. But we will just have to wait and see if the brothers find what is at the bottom of the money
