The mysterious scenery of Oak Island

An 80-year-old Canadian man has been treasure hunting for 38 years and confirmed that there is a pirate treasure cave on the island

In the 1960s, people estimated that the treasure under Oak Island was worth at least 10 million US dollars, and some even Estimated to be worth more than $100 million, at least six explorers dreaming of treasure hunting died while trying to reach the bottom of the "Money Pit".

The mysterious and legendary underground treasure located on Oak Island (Oak Island) in Nova Scotia, 3 miles off the east coast of Canada, is expected to be revealed again. After 38 years of unremitting treasure hunting, 80-year-old Dan Blackshap publicly announced that he had new evidence proving that there were indeed gold and silver treasures buried by Spanish bandits in the 16th century on the island. He could have these treasures discovered within 7 months. body.

The legend of the treasure on Oak Island is world-famous. Legend has it that in 1795, three local boys explored the island. They came to a depression next to an oak tree and started digging, hoping to dig something. Instead, they dug a wooden platform. They worked together to lift the platform and continued down. After digging a few meters, we found another wooden platform. Later treasure hunters found either a small piece of chain, a piece of parchment, or a coconut shell, but no one could find any trace of the treasure. Dan Blackshap, now 80 years old, gave up his business in Miami when he was 42 years old and moved his family to Nova Scotia, believing that he could uncover the mystery of the Oak Island treasure. For more than 30 years, Blacksharp rummaged in the mud on the island, dug tunnels, and found inspiration among a large number of strangely shaped stones, whether it was windy, rainy, or sweltering in winter or hot weather. Been in danger many times.

Blackshap recently claimed that he has found new evidence proving that the 32-hectare Oak Island does indeed contain gold and silver treasures robbed by Spanish bandits in the mid-16th century. He also said he had been able to determine who, how and where the treasure on the island was buried. Blacksharp said that he had long suspected that there were tunnels deep underground on the island, but had never found any evidence. Later, he finally collected evidence and believed that a 3-meter-wide hole was once the vent of the underground tunnel. Although the treasure was within sight, Blacksharp encountered a very difficult problem: he did not have a new license from the Nova Scotia government that would allow him to legally dig for those treasures. The Nova Scotia government stipulates that all treasure hunters in the area must first apply for a license, and Blackshap's previous license expired in July 2003. In addition, according to Nova Scotia's treasure digging laws, once treasure hunters find wealth, the province can share 10% or the equivalent of 10% of the money.

Relevant departments of the Nova Scotia provincial government stated that they are currently reviewing the license renewal application and related information submitted by Blacksharp. After the review is completed, it will be handed over to the provincial assembly for a decision.

Blacksharp told The Canadian Press that he is 80 years old and has no more opportunities. He said that once the new license is obtained, a rotary boring machine will be used to determine the existence of underground tunnels, after which the treasure can be dug out within seven months. Blackshap also said that if the results prove that his judgment is correct, Oak Island will become a tourist attraction, attracting at least 100,000 tourists from all over the world every year.
