I must admit I am quite tempted.

Who has been before? What did you make of it? I hear they had 500 people last year, over the course of the weekend.

Andy,

I missed your call yesterday, sorry about that. There is only one place I can send you to ask for an unbiased opinion of the event in question and that is at www.oakislandtreasure.co.uk Register with the forum and go to the thread called "OITS" and read more.

I can tell you that we will have guest top shelf speakers, movies, artifacts, tours of Oak Island, a psychic tour on Friday night, and a very interesting social event on Saturday evening called the Pirates Brannigan.

There is more to read on our web site at www.oakislandsociety.ca and more will be added in the coming weeks.

Thanks guys. Sounds really worthwhile. I guess my only thought was is it better to go when there are less people around. That said, the speakers and events really sound like fun!

For instance, as I understand it, some of the best bits are on private property. Are the chances of seeing the cross, for example, better when you are not touring with 500 people?

Cheers!

Andy

Andy,

Generally, the crowds for the tours don't exceed 150 or less. Believe it or not, you can still see everything there is to see within reason. You can easily see the foot stone to Nolan's Cross, but the rest of the stones are on his property and can't be seen from the road. We can't and won't trespass as you may imagine.

You will see the Money Pit area, Borehole 10X, the Cave In Pit, Smith's Cove, the remnants of the last Coffer Dam, one of the famous drilled rocks and an assortment of other locations spoken about in the books about Oak Island.

If you became a member of the OITS, and were to arrive a few days earlier, then a special private tour for members is undertaken and we show even more, to the point of information overload.

Tours of the island, at this point in time, happen during Explore Oak Island Days and that is it. The Society is working hard to change that.

Thanks Tank. Appreciate that. I think I will join, as it seems like really good value. What day is the private members tour?

I've booked a room and just need to book my flight now :)

All the best,

Andy

A plan to boost the attendance @ O.I days

Maybe if the OITS went "in search of" Leonard Nemoy and invited him back to Oak Island on Oak Island Day's then just maybe it can be a star trek convention too?
:lol:

I cant go' I got to go see a man about a horse!

OAK ISLAND TUMOR SOCIETY

Blog News

Benefits of joining the Oak Island Tourism Society: and not to.

• Laminated, official membership card that will give you discounts to Society functions and events
(I find this corny it seems like initiation to a biker gang they are a society that when you are member weather it’s a card or patch you are just someone with a S on your forehead)



• Distinctive decal to show your support for the Society
(Now this is cruel and un-usual you are paying them for you to advertising for them by sticking something some-where it is eventually going have to be peeled off)

• Inside information on developments with the treasure hunt
(Inside information that’s a hoot what a chuckle, there are Oak Island researchers that they have no idea what’s going on with them; inside sources claim many Oak Island researchers think the OITS is a bias organization, if you have a concept they will down play it or sabotage it, a corrupted Mr. Danny Hennigar carries out these tactics he is also known as TANK on the chat lines masquerading a alias on various Oak Island forums.)
Example a nutty forum: http://www.oakislandtreasure.co.uk/



• Historical information, periodicals, editorials, pictures and articles
(This is annoying when they talk Historical information they have a article that they purposely sullied in errors, Example: (form-ot)
a First Nations man, has traveled form Winnipeg ot Nova Scotia in hopes of unlocking the secret codes on Oak Island. He says he has done so by re-translating one of the stones found on the island over 200 years ago.
http://www.oakislandsociety.ca/news.html
This is what the Oak Island Tourism Society calls showing historical documents and how they portrait documents to the general public and there treatment towards this independent First Nations native researcher that is leading the pursuit in this Oak Island treasure hunt, although he gots the cards stacked against him with all that's going on' my monies is on him.



• Great resource information for schools, historic societies and other groups

(They better straighten out there act before they decide to pass information to groups or children it’s a message no one needs.)

• Part of a team dedicated to getting established on Oak Island…? HaHa


• Special "members only" benefits
(Independent Treasure Hunters say being independent is the way to go all information is on the internet at no cost there are researchers that will explain new development that the OITS does not know. A question has been raised to Mr. Danny Hennigar of the OITS what monies gets put into research from money collected by the OITS, he said no comment. See it’s the independent researchers and authors that are making this treasure mystery famous, by buying into a membership or any other money grab you are buying into a scheme that’s lining the pockets of a pyramid money making sham and it’s the tourist and the treasure hunters that are the ones that are paying there price for there ignorance, the OITS should have a redeemable policy implemented.



Membership Fee is 10.00 bucks 3.00 bucks for shipping and handling then medallions 10.00 more bucks if you add this all up and hidden costs it is pretty lucrative where does this money go, recently they were collecting donations until inquiries were made. I think a inquiry should be made on just how many members are their and how much money they are pulling in, it must be a fortune there is something not right here? Looks like a money making scheming scandal.
