Our crack team of archeologists and curators plan to archive these treasures in digital form for the benefit of future researchers. Wolfgang and Susan Angelow вЂ“ who served 17 years as the second branch manager at Barbee Library вЂ“ have very graciously donated these scrolls along with chronicles, petroglyphs, and other unique records to FOLSOI. Actors Errol Flynn and John Wayne both contributed financially to excavation attempts.This week, FOLSOI amateur archeologists Diana Fotinatos (past president, and current publicity committee chair) and Barbara Lemos (Roving Reporter) uncovered a treasure trove of ancient manuscripts dating back to the 1990s, the Dark Ages before the construction of Barbee Library.ДЄmong the major вЂњfindsвЂќ are documents chronicling the work of Wolfgang Furstenau and his fellow Oak Island вЂњBoostersвЂќ who raised the initial funds and helped to secure the land to build this historic edifice. Oak Island is a tree-covered island on the south shore of Nova Scotia that has intrigued treasure hunters for more than 200 years. He had actually planned to return to the Island in 1939 but had to cancel those plans after World War Two broke out.ДЇDR was not the only notable person to have been involved in the treasure hunt at Oak Island. Roosevelt continued to have an interest in Oak Island for the rest of his life. The Old Gold Salvage group left Oak Island in November of 1909. The group continued the excavation of the Money Pit and uncovered nothing of interest. Franklin, therefore, held an interest in the goings-on on the island and jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the excavation. FDRвЂ™s maternal grandfather had been involved in earlier attempts to excavate the Money Pit.

One of the men in the group was 27-year-old Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In August of 1909, the Old Gold Salvage group arrived at Oak Island.

Lots of puzzling things were found, like oak planks buried deep underground, coconut fibers, soft clay, and blue mud. Many were the people who came to Oak Island in hopes of finding immense wealth. The search for treasure at Oak Island continued almost uninterrupted ever since that first excavation in 1799. The workers dug a new hole in the hopes of being able to reach the treasure from another angle. The pit suddenly filled with 18 feet of water. It is said that they discovered a stone inscribed with symbols they did not recognize. They took over the pit that the teenagers had left behind, and continued the excavation.

It is said that the boys abandoned the excavation because of вЂ superstitious fearвЂ™.ДЄ few years later, in 1802, a group calling themselves the Onslow Company arrived at Oak Island. According to later accounts, McGinnis and the other men discovered flagstones that they believed had been left there by pirates a century earlier. McGinnis and his friends dug a pit that was around 90 feet (27 meters) deep. Illustration depicting Daniel McGinnis featured in The Ogden Standard-Examiner. Having done it once, whatвЂ™s to say he hadnвЂ™t done it before? Although that treasure was dug up by British authorities soon after it was buried. He did bury some of his wealth near Long Island before he was arrested in New York. Captain Kidd is the only privateer known to actually have buried treasure. A line from the song вЂThe Ballad of Captain KiddвЂ™, unknown author, circa 1701. вЂњTwo hundred bars of gold, and rix dollars manifold, we seized uncontrolledвЂќ According to the story, the man had not wanted to recover the treasure himself because he feared that the authorities would arrest and execute him if he did. Some were saying that a man who had been a part of KiddвЂ™s crew had confessed on his deathbed to having buried a treasure worth 2 million pounds on an island on the Canadian coast. Some fifty years after Captain Kidd had been executed, rumors began to spread.
