Summary

Legend:

Pirate treasure? English, French or Spanish military plunder? The secret Rosicrucian works of Sir Francis Bacon and therefore also the possible original missing folios of Shakespeare? Or perhaps the greatest sacred antiquities lost to history, such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Spear of Longinus or the menorah from King Solomon's temple? Or maybe it's all just natural geological processes forming a sinkhole, plain and simple? These are just some of the theories of what could be down in the infamous and mysterious "Money Pit" on Oak Island, Nova Scotia -- thought by many to be one of the greatest archeological mysteries of North America, and possibly the world.

Background:

Part 3 of our series picks up from where we left off in Part 2, which covered the years between 1867 and 1965. Part 3 starts after the tragic accident that befell the Restall crew on August 17, 1965 and continues with the history of the Money Pit up until the present day. Now that you'll know the entire timeline of the events of the Money Pit's mysterious history, Part 4 will cover all of the major theories of what is or was, down there.

Tonight's Quote:

"This project, when we get through with it, may or may not make us rich. But at least we will have solved one of the world's greatest mysteries." ~ David Tobias, one of the founders of the Triton Alliance, Ltd. in 1969 along with Dan Blankenship.

0:03.9	Before we get into it, I just wanted to quickly remind everyone that we actually have a free app
0:08.4	in the App Store for the iPhone and also for your Android.
0:12.4	It's the easiest way to keep up with the show. So if you stumble across it any other way and you find
0:17.2	that way annoying, which is some people feel that way. Well, they don't like iTunes or they don't
0:21.4	like another platform or they think it's hard to find because Scott, that's the biggest question
0:25.5	that people always ask me when I tell them I'm doing a podcast, they say, well, how can I
0:29.9	get it? And it's like, well, the easiest way is just to download the app to your mobile device.
0:34.9	So your phone or your tablet, whatever that might be, it pushes the new episodes automatically.
0:41.1	So you're already got them right when they get released. It lets you know pretty much,

1:10.0	if you do, you'll be in it for a chance to win an astonishing legends hat free. Yeah, I wanted
1:14.5	to stress that too, is that you don't have to put your email in. It's not mandatory, but it helps
1:19.3	them confirm that this is a real entry and track the responses, but you will not be spammed. No,
1:24.4	we will not be selling our email list to anyone at any point. No matter how desperate Scott gets,
1:29.2	he's not going to do it. Yes. And we're pleased to report that we've actually attracted some
