"The Curse of Oak Island" Treasure

 

My Opinion on "The Curse of Oak Island" Treasure.
I've watched every episode of the 12 seasons of this fascinating show over the past 12 years. The crew has made some amazing finds that have corrected the traditional history of North America during their efforts. The ultimate goal, the huge treasure in the so-called Money Pit, has eluded them and other searchers for over 200 years. Untold millions of dollars have been spent in the Laginas' efforts to find that treasure, to no avail.
I can confidently state that it's my opinion that, with an 80%-90% degree of certainty, the Money Pit treasure has already been secretly retrieved over 150 years ago. I base my opinion, in large part, on the fact that the Laginas have dug many deep shafts in the Money Pit area and have come up empty except for the remains of many different unknown shafts that can't be attributed to any of the known searchers over all of that time.
Who do I think would have had the ability, funding, and knowledge to have secretly retrieved the treasure? My best guess would be the pro-Southern secret organization the Knights of the Golden Circle who were known to have built many underground depositories for huge amounts of treasure across the county. I've long-believed, after about 20 years of in-depth research into that organization, that they had secret ties stretching all the way back to the ancient Knights Templar. The KGC were all Masons and Albert Pike is said to have laid out the plans for every one of their depository sites. The KGC proved that they had the ability to dig and construct deep depository vaults AND they had experts, experienced in mining and underground construction, who would have been capable of retrieving such a huge amount of treasure without being noticed. They proved that by constructing long tunnel networks under many American towns and cities, including my hometown - Brownwood, Texas, and of course by constructing their many deep underground treasure vaults. Also, part of the KGC organization was composed of a group whose primary job was to locate and retrieve lost and buried treasures left behind by the Spaniards and other American explorers. These men were experts in dowsing and in interpreting old symbols and markings. In addition, the KGC had a headquarters in Canada during the Civil War. So, where do I think the Oak Island treasures are now? There's a big possibility that they are scattered all over the United States in yet undiscovered underground KGC depositories.
