So ive been watching the history channels show: the curse of oak island..

Well. We know they were mining gold there until they discovered what they were really mining was fools gold. The boat repair theory is intereating considering the man made objects found on the smiths cove area. Could very well have some truth behind that. Idk. Its all intereating to me cause ive always been into archaelogy and treasure hunts above and below water. So even though i agree theres nothing of value there now i do believe at somepoint theyre may have been a small fortune burried there (fortune by that eras standards anyway) thats already been recovered.

In any event ..if they were ever to find anytho g its not gonna be the way theyve been going at it. A massive excavation is necessary and they cant do that because its way to invasive and the area is protected by canadian laws nowadays.
