These Brothers Bought an Island to Look for Treasure Only to Find that It Is Cursed

A man-made shaft

The Onslow Company dug until they were able to break an old shaft. It was clearly manmade. As the team continued to dig, they discovered there were wooden platforms every 10 feet and it seemed the platforms went on down to 90 feet. The area was famously referred to as the Money Pit.

The group noticed something between the 30- and 40-foot platforms. There was a huge slab made out of black stone and it had a mysterious inscription. The slab was about two feet long and one foot thick. The inscription was unlike any language – it was a code!
