the oak island mystery

"Oak Island is a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. It is about 0.5 x 1 mile.
The first discovery was in 1795. Daniel McGinnis, in his late teens, decided to go exploring. Daniel found a clearing in the woods, and a thirteen foot-wide depression in the ground. There was also an old tackle box hanging from a branch directly over the pit. Daniel had visions of pirates and treasure. He returned later with two friends, John Smith 19, and Anthony Vaughan 16. Together, with shovels, they started one of the most famous treasure hunts of all time."
