Discoveries Go Way Back in Time
Marty is still very careful not to jump to conclusions about the recent discoveries; however, he does believe that they prove something significant. He believes that they show that something extraordinary must have occurred on Oak Island much earlier than was previously believed. Even though the first exploration that is known to have taken place was in 1795, recent discoveries may have completely altered the situation. “The evidence suggests that something quite odd did occur on this island prior to 1795,” he said. “The evidence suggests that something quite odd did occur on this island.” “Something happened here prior to the year 1795, and apparently much earlier, going back at least 100 years.”
The Adventure Began With Three Young Boys
It was most likely toward the end of the 18th century when the very first account of any sign of treasure on Oak Island was recorded. A young boy by the name of Daniel McGinnis was the one who discovered the circular depression.
McGinnis is said to have dug a hole that was thirty feet deep into the ground with the help of his friends Anthony Vaughn and John Smith. They continued forward until they came to a solid barrier that appeared to be impossible to breach. This event served as the impetus for the investigation into the mystery surrounding Oak Island, which eventually culminated in the formation of a formal inquiry less than ten years later.
