After my last visit to Canada, I can only repeat myself and say that its an awful country. :-) However, there are some positive sides as well, for one, it holds one of the biggest mysteries of our times - the Oak Island treasure in Nova Scotia. Surprisingly not many Canadians are aware of the treasure that lies beneath their feet. And I thought it will be nice to share what I was thrilled with over the last 2 years.

Lets start with a quote, as my time is limited, and lengthy post is not an option:

It has been the focus of ?the world's longest and most expensive treasure hunt? and ?one of the world's deepest and most costly archaeological digs? (O'Connor 1988, 1, 4), as well as being ?Canada's best-known mystery? (Colombo 1988, 33) and indeed one of ?the great mysteries of the world.? It may even ?represent an ancient artifact created by a past civilization of advanced capability? (Crooker 1978, 7, 190). The subject of these superlatives is a mysterious shaft on Oak Island in Nova Scotia's Mahone Bay. For some two centuries, greed, folly, and even death have attended the supposed ?Money Pit? enigma.

Or watch Youtube (there are 5 parts, cant post more than 1 video in post, so you'll have to find the rest of them)...

Pirates fenced the property they stole,as it wouldn't have done them any good to bury it. So I dont know why the history channel even entertains the idea of buried treasure by pirates.
 
I thought the British Navy was supposed to have dug the pit system, as they were the only ones known to possess the engineering capacity required to do so at the time and place of its creation. Theory is that they were caching supplies, but didn't come back for them.
