Oak Island: Fascination with a buried treasure

When I was about 12 years old, as my fascination with books started growing, I bought a book from Scholastic Book Services about buried treasure.

The book was called "Treasures beneath the Sea".

It had chapters on various treasure mysteries all over the world.

One of those chapters was the mystery of Oak Island.

For those of you who don't know, Oak Island is a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia.

The fascinating history can also be detailed in a great Readers Digest article that also appeared in 1965.

History Canada has made a fascinating TV program out of the whole thing, including showcasing new owners of the Island, who are carefully trying to find out what exactly is buried on the island, and by whom.

The Curse of Oak Island.

History Canada is even having a contest this season, with the grand prize a trip for 2 to Halifax and a private tour of Oak Island.

Both my brother John and I have been entering each week....it would be an amazing trip.

And it's just fun to watch and wonder.
