      • Shaft #9 is 100ft SE of Money Pit, using a sluiceway to drain (also captures gold like mining operations in 49ers)

      • Plan never tested out, folded operations, follow sluiceway to Money Pit is idea

      • Rick comments this was Dan B info passed to Dan Henskee

        • Hand dig back up towards Money Pit

• 1795 - the legend begins

• Alternate account

• from the Bolthouse Blog - pertaining to McGuiness

• Also from the Bolthouse Blog - info pertaining to the alleged three treasure chests the original discovering trio secretly extracted from the money pit

• An Expanded History Very rich resource.

• Dan Henskee

• a detailed charting of excavations beginning in 1861

• Another long account of the history of the island details many searchers secretly hiding discoveries - this in turn certainly facilitated the eventual loss of knowledge and then the inevitable loss of the money pit location itself.
