Haven't been there, but I've been fascinated by the story for decades. Looking forward to hearing some "on-site" impressions.

Hmm... I've been to Oak Island, NC, but I'm thinking that's not what you are referring to?

Yes that is Oak Island in Nova Scotia close to where I live. There was a very elaborate system built to hide a great treasure. Legend has it that pirates, perhaps Kidd built it but no one has found anything yet. It is well named as a money pit because fourtunes have been spent trying to find this great treasure that most likely was removed centuries ago.
About every 10 or 20 years someone seems to come along that has the technology and the answer and a fortune to spend. All have failed.

The Discovery channel had a series on about the latest exploration of Oak Island, no I didn't watch it, but you might be able to find it on youtube

I saw several of those episodes and wondered if they every got very far with the quest. They sure seemed to find evidence during the season to back up the legend. RWR
