What is the Mystery and Curse of Oak Island?

Oak Island has long captivated the imagination of treasure hunters, history enthusiasts, and conspiracy theorists alike. Located off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, this enigmatic island has been the center of numerous expeditions, each fueled by tales of buried riches and unsolved mysteries. While the actual history of Oak Island is fascinating, it is often overshadowed by the myths and legends that have grown around it.

This is the story of Oak Island.

Ummm.... I'm just saying the fact you called a piece of parchment the "90 foot stone" should have been a clue that the info you were using was maybe a little wrong...

The item you label as the "money pit stone" is what the 90 foot stone actually is. The 90' stone was found while digging in the so-called money-pit and was found at the depth of 90 feet (hence the name).

The piece of parchment found in the 1970s doesn't have an official name (going based on memory, it is probably labeled with a title where it is on display at the little museum located on the island) and is generally just called a piece of parchment that was found. It is NOT the only piece of parchment to have been found, but it is the first and if memory serves correctly it has the number "7" written in lowercase roman numerals on it.

Other notable finds from the over 700 artifacts that have been found on the island include:
- The "H-O Stone" A stone with what appears to be the letter H and the letter O carved into it.
- "Nolan's Cross" A series of 5 (or 7, I'm not positive as I'm reciting from memory here) large boulders arranged in a cross.
- The "Lead Cross" An odd shaped lead cross that appears to have once been worn on a necklace (or similar, based on a hole at the top) that dates back over 500 years.
- The "Stone Road" A leveled area of cobblestones found under the swamp located on the island when it was drained. By appearance, it resembles a roman stone road. Artifacts found among the cobbles date to between 1200 and 1400 CE.
- Numerous ox shoes have been found, in far larger quantities than what an agricultural settlement would require, suggesting some sort of industry on the island.
- Various coins and other trade items from all over the world.
