This is a timely topic.
Apparently, a former Floridian, who has spent half his life searching for
the Oak Island treasurer thinks he has the answer now even though he hasn't
earned a dime yet.
Those Florida boys are a little slow to catch on...eh NOYB?

If you're looking for Captain Kidd's treasure, we may have it.

Ah yes. Oak Island.

Nothing to do with Kidd, I'm afraid. Remember, he had only dozen men with
him
when he left Madagascar. A project similar to Oak Island would have
required a
massive workforce at the beginning of the
18th Century.

Furthermore, there was no reason to stash
treasure. The majority of any prize was due and payable to the crew. The
east
coast of Colonial North America was filled with shopkeepers, etc, who were
only
too glad to do business (at special rates, of course), with voyagers on
account. It would be easier to spend it than to hide it.
