OAK ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA – THE WORLD'S COSTLIEST TREASURE HUNT
Back:
OAK ISLAND, MAHONE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA
It is believed that the notorious pirate Captain Kidd buried a vast treasure on this
island, and since 1795 countless adventurers and many well financed companies
have sought to wrestle this great treasure from the “Money Pit", as it came to be
called. Early attempts reached a depth of 96 feet when suddenly water rushed in
flooding the "Pit". Many have died in the attempt. All have agreed that the
designer of the "Pit" was a genius, for despite all attempts with today's
sophisticated equipment, the treasure still remains hidden. More money has been
spent here than on any other treasure hunt in the world.
