09/17/24 • 73 min
Nestled off the southern coast of Nova Scotia is a small, tree covered island with a bottomless mystery. This privately owned island has been the target of treasure hunters for over two hundred years. If the rumors and legends are true, a vast fortune lies buried under the island, sealed off in a complex maze of booby-trapped tunnels. This treasure, claimed to be long lost bounty from ruthless pirates or ancient secret societies, has captivated archeologists for centuries. Even today, seekers still continue the search, making it perhaps the most expensive treasure hunt in history.
