Pirates
were
known to
visit the
island and
Daniel
thought it
could be a
burial
spot.
He gathered two of his friends to
help him dig for treasure.

After every ten
feet of digging,
the boys
encountered a
layer of logs.

They gave up
and went home
empty handed
after digging 30
feet.

8 years later they returned with a team to help them.

Shortly after, water began to fill the hole. Their
attempts to remove the water failed, and the
team gave up.

Since then, many teams
have tried to solve the
mystery of the flooding
money pit.

Some say
the pit was
created to
conceal
the
treasure of
pirates.

While others
think that the
Knights
Templar used
it to hide the
Holy Grail.

Then there are those
that give Mother Nature
credit for the creation of the hole.

But, until someone produces
the missing pieces to the
puzzle…

we will never
know the
mystery behind
the Oak Island
Money Pit.
