+The Lost Geeks Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) This may be your chance to learn some of the history and theories about the treasure. Oak Island is home to one of the great stories of treasure and mystery! The island is privately owned and is not opened to the general public...... BUT!!!! There is going to be an event coming up soon in which you could win a walking tour around the island. The opportunity for the general public to see the island is available for two day's only out of the year! Watch for more details on the upcoming Geocaching event!!! (and try to keep the end of June opened) Edited May 26, 2008 by The Lost Geeks Quote
+Kabuthunk Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I'd personally love to be able to travel around Oak Island... but I'm not sure if I would regret it or not. I feel that the mystery of it is for all intents and purposes dead. The legacy of it should remain in story form forever, but the vast tons of construction and excavation that have gone on there has basically obliterated the mysteriousness. The original "tree" that the pit was near has long since disappeared, and anything even remotely close to the pit has been excavated numerous times. At present time, noone actually even knows where the pit WAS any more. Wikipedia source of the history and excavation attempts on Oak Island. So yeah... I'm not sure if I would regret going, since I've loved reading about the initial discovery/etc... but actually seeing a flat, excavated-a-million-times expanse of land in which noone even knows where the pit is... I think it'd kinda ruin it for me. Quote
+tangerineman Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Oak Island has a terrific mystic about it. I think it would be a fantastic spot for a Caching Event. It's a bit too far for me though, unfortunately. Good luck with it. It's a great idea. Quote
+Sunnyside Cachers Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 A lifelong deam for me--Everytime I am out there, I nag my brother about going to Oak island, and we get too busy everytime. Now watch him win the dang thing!! Quote
+Couparangus Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 That island has been dug up so many times any spirit of buried treasure is long gone! Quote
