#2The History Channel just aired a 2-hour special that included an in-depth discussion titled "Holy Grail in America" which talked about the island and the Money Pit. I would recommend catching it if you missed it.
Pretty fascinating as it really gets down to how the Knights Templar discovered America perhaps hundreds of years before Columbus.

is it me or has the history channel gotten more and more out there with their definition of "history"?
i personally found the "holy grail in america" show to be just a bunch of sensationalist conspiracy theory talk.. 15 minutes of wikipedia-ing shows how out implausible most of the theory that they mentioned is

Oak Island is not that far from where I live, it's been pretty much stripped clean. This has been going on for decades.
Farther north east over in Newfoundland is where the Vikings had a settlement and there are some clues up north; Labrador and Nunavut, in the form of stone carvings of hooded monks with Celtic cross symbols.
Add to that the Clovis culture in the eastern USA and I'd say people have been in eastern US/Canada many times over the last few thousand years, before the native people arrived.

#8That seems like pretty heavy engineering for a pirate crew.

Sadly, it seems to be the norm these days: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NetworkDecay

#10Yeah, because the most likely thing for pirates to do when they come into a bundle of loot is sail to the middle of nowhere and spend a few years engineering crafty traps beneath which they will permanently store their cash.
Outside of novels, movies and video games, pirates didn't bury their spoils: They spent it. The only treasure to be found in stories like these comes out of the pockets of the gullible souls who search for it.
