The draw in is the mystery it's self, nobody knows for sure who buried what even indeed if there is anything buried underneath of Oak Island. Since 1795 people being trying to discover oh' well what is the mystery of Oak Island?

Getting to the bottom of the treasure pit has proven impossible, in two hundred years of digging they encountered Oak log platforms every ten feet or so' too the thirty foot level, down deeper multiple layers of charcoal, putty and coconut fiber. Beneath that another platform, then layers of wood and iron. Throw in a man made flooding system and it is no wonder at least six men have died and several fortunes have being lost trying to obtain proof.
