Secret Treasure of Oak Island: The Amazing True Story of a Centuries-Old Treasure Hunt

I corresponded with D'Arcy in Oak Island forums before I found out that he was an author. When I asked people in the forum for literature they all reccommended D'Arcy's books and I purchased two of them. I found them to be very informative. D'Arcy has done his research well and presents information in a manner that is easily understood. If you want to learn about Oak Island this is probably the book to buy. I reccommend it highly.

I have just completed reading this book. Having met D'Arcy Oconnor on one occasion and speaking to him on several other occasions it is no surprise that this book is a great read for all things Oak Island. For those wanting to get a leg up on the Oak Island Mystery this book will not only save you much time in research but make you a pseudo expert, to a point. Its all there. And then some. Pats on the back for Mr. Oconnors compulation of many important known and unknown facts regarding all things Oak Island. To the skeptics..this ones for you.

I have read several books concerning the treasure hunt on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, but this is the best so far. D'Arcy O'Connor has obviously very carefully researched all aspects of the hunt and has presented everything in an exceptionally readable, enjoyable and informative format. He has a way of telling the story that makes the same old story new again. I now understand concepts and ideas that were unclear from previous books. This book is as close as you will get to the actual treasure hunt today. Good job, D'Arcy - thanks for an excellent read!

This book by D'arcy O'Connor covers the the first known search in 1795 all the way up to the present plans of Triton Alliance Ltd. Besides battling the pesky water that fills up every hole dug, the legal battles of three current treasure hunters are exposed here as well. The island itself becomes a metaphor for lost causes and greed. Theories abound here about how the man-made underwater system operates, who placed the treasure there, when and also why. The reading is fast-paced and informative, but the next chapter --- Triton Alliance's '04 $15 million dollar 'Big Dig' is yet to be written. This 210-year ongoing treasure hunt is laid bare in these pages reaffirming why this famous island off of Novia Scotia has become known as 'The Money Pit'.

One of the best books on Oak Island that I have read. This book is well written, compelling and easy to read. It is full of well known, as well as lesser know facts concerning Oak Island.
