    Imagine being so obsessed with pirate treasure you end up in a Vietnamese jail! This is the real-life Indiana Jones story we needed. 🏴‍☠🗺

    Captain Kidd supposedly stashed some stuff on the backside of our island, spent two weeks at an area that has a natural sea wall and pond, it’s an incredibly remote area with huge cliffs and was even more so back then, my girlfriends grandfather used to spend 4 days a week staying out there for decades, even had a bulldozer floated around and put on the seawall, he’d never admit it but everyone always said he had far more money than he ever had legitimately so figured he must have found something out there that convinced him there was more and made him a bit obsessed, we’re only a two day sail from oak island too and he was allegedly involved in that too

      @@jaywood7672 supposedly there was markings on a semi-hidden flat rock found back in the mid 1800s by a fella from the mainland who heard the stories and came looking, but he was chased out but a ghost that summoned a freak storm to drive him away, I’m doubtful if that all but it adds some character to the mystery

    The treasure might be at Asingyi Island. It looks very similar to the map drawing.

    I've watched this story several times and I'm not sure what is true and what is not but you would think that something along the lines of this story must be true as far as the treasure maps and such how else would he have come about them. I suppose it's possible they were completely fake as well. But if the maps were true maps from the period then isn't it possible there is a treasure hidden somewhere in that vicinity?

    Oak Island was a real treasure map, that 'accidentally' became public knowledge.
    Not like this expert was hunting to fortunes of a con artist, that had no pot of gold.
