Oak Island Treasure in print!

Thanks to Scott Clarke, Oak Island Treasure Forum member, we have been made aware that Oak Island Treasure has been referenced in the book, Lost Histories: Exploring the World's Most Famous Mysteries by Joel Levy.

This is an exciting achievement for this website, run out of a dark underground bunker in London, England since August 2001. The site started out as a hobby and is run voluntarily by Jo Atherton in her free time, so for Oak Island Treasure to receive recognition in print as a reputable source is praise indeed.
