Oak Island Money Pit

The Oak Island Money Pit is an area in the infamous Oak Island wherein treasure hunters believe the ever-elusive treasure of the island can be found. Many have tried to find it, including President Franklin Roosevelt.

The Money Pit has yielded relics, like a mysterious inscribed stone that has hopefuls believing that there’s still more to be found. It was first discovered in 1795 when a young man noticed an indentation on the ground and started digging. They discovered a man-made shaft that extends 90ft underground. However, an expedition in the 1960s accidentally obscured the original site.

Many hopefuls are still trying to find it, trying to take credit for the discovery and, hopefully, pay off mortgage loans with the treasure.
