This report is based on the mystery of Oak Island. This place is located in Nova Scotia. On Oak Island, there is lots and lots of money (we think) hidden in the Money Pit. There is also a curse that 7 people have to die to make the treasure hunt easier. So far only 6 people have died, so the curse is not yet lifted. The money is at least 130 feet underground where the treasure is supposedly hidden. There are at least 9 layers of logs and at 90 feet they found a rock saying '40 feet below two million pounds are buried.]]> 2018-04-17 17:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/oakisland/wish/252686598 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/oakisland/wish/252686873 SECOND PARAGRAPH (Description) -> Facts, which are explained with an example! (4 of these in this short report!)

When people were digging in the Money Pit, they found a stone. The stone was covered in symbols that were translated to English. The stone said "Forty feet below two million pounds are buried". The stone was found a t 90 feet below the pit. People couldn't dig deeper though because there were traps. The traps would make the pit flood! (Vincy, Aanya, Khushi, Aydan, Rayyan) People also think that there is a priceless artifact at the bottom of the Money Pit because close by there are six stones that perfectly make up the sign of the cross. This could be a clue that the treasure is something related to Crusaders (a religious order of knights)! (Altynai and Sahana) A long time ago in 1795, a boy named Daniel saw a strange indent in the ground on Oak Island (in Nova Scotia). People think that a pirate named Captain Kidd came to hide his treasure here because pirate ships had often been in the area.

This report was about the mystery of Oak Island. People think that it's under a curse! 7 people have to die for the curse to be lifted. 6 people have already died. While digging, they found strange things such as pieces of gold chain, very old paper, coconut fibres, and a second stone with an inscription on it. One team used a TV camera and they said that they found three treasure chests 64 metres down. Divers explored the site further, but then the pit caved in and flooded with sea water.A scientist a 100 years ago wanted to find out where all this floor water came from, so he poured red dye into the Money Pit, and the water from Smith's Cove started to turn red, so these traps weren't made naturally. It was man made... but why?]]> 2018-04-17 17:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/oakisland/wish/252687274
