There were no surprises for me in the book or movie because I read "Holy
Blood, Holy Grail" back in the '80's. And a couple of books on holy
grail and it's connection to the Sinclairs. (I was told as a child the
holy grail was probably buried at Oak Island, Nova Scotia, not the place
infered in the movie - I'm sure Don knows the legend. Either the holy
grail or Capt. Kidd's treasure. Pirates - there, another boating
connection.)

Over the years a number different 'treasures' were believed to be buried
in the money pit on Oak Island, Mahone Bay.
Captain Kid's treasure
The Holy Grail
Shakespeare's manuscript
French treasure destined for Louisbourg, Cape Breton
