Samples of wood were taken from a shaft discovered on Nolan’s property and analysed by radiocarbon dating. The following documents spanning the past forty years show the analysis which has been undertaken and the conclusions which have been drawn about the suggested age of the wood, hinting at an approximate creation date for the Money Pit.
We are thankful to D’Arcy O’Connor for sharing these files with Oak Island Treasure.
