It may be disappointing to be reminded of this, but over the 220 or so years that people have been exploring Oak Island unfortunately nothing of any value or real significance has ever been pulled out of the money pit. Considering how much blood, sweat, tears and money have been expended over such a long time this seems to suggest that there may be nothing to find. This does not necessarily mean that there never was anything there. After all, someone spent a great deal of time, effort and money digging the pit and it's surrounding infrastructure. It can't have been created just because someone had nothing better to do with his time.
A number of tantalising clues keep popping up to keep us on the edge of our seat but it is difficult to be sure how much importance to attach to them. Things like buttons or the odd coin don't really mean a great deal. Many old soldiers from the various wars and Indian uprisings being fought back then will have been wearing their old combat jackets for years afterwards so it's not surprising that the odd button will turn up everywhere.
Even some of the items that are being found at surprising depths may have a fairly mundane explanation. I'll look at some of those in the next entry.
