Another Stone
Yet again a stone with an inscription came to the surface. After a closer inspection, they concluded that the stone looked exactly like the one from 1804. There was something else that summoned their interest and that was the wooden tools they found. They noticed that the tools were held together with wooden pinks and not metal ones. This told them that they could not have been from other explorers but rather from those who buried the treasure there.

After the New Yorkers gave up on Oak Island, a series of other explorers came each year to try their luck. In 1938, Erwin Hamilton made two discoveries that sparked interest in the island again. The first was the presence of gravel and rocks far deeper than anyone had dug at 190 feet down. The second, and more important find was limestone with wood protruding from it. This meant that there was wood underneath the limestone. Something was being kept deep in the hole.
