We love TV show #TheCurseOfOakIsland which is about one of #NovaScotia's greatest mysteries! Here is a #geological take on the treasure hunt that highlights the searchers' challenge in figuring out what really happened on #OakIsland.

Like many islands in #MahoneBay, #NovaScotia, #OakIsland is a #drumlin - rock, sand, gravel and clay deposited by glaciers as the last ice age ended
about 12,000 years ago. Actually, the island is 4 connected drumlins.

Because #OakIsland is #drumlins, it may have layers of #gravel below sea
level which could explain the flood tunnel mystery. Searcher shafts might
just be intersecting sea water naturally flowing underground through porous gravel.
