"layers of wood, etc" doesn't do justice to what is in place there:

Flagstones, layers of heavy timbers every 10 feet, a stone with carved glyphs at 90 feet, oak chests with coins, a sideways booby-trap well, Layers of blue clay at 130 and 160 feet, a cofferdam, and artifacts dating back 200+ years.
This strikes me as far, far more than an elaborate prank; it is a significant defense system meant to protect _something_
- EdHominem 10y agoOr, the layers of timbers are trees felled in the same 100y storms, etc. The flooding tunnel is likely just a normal geological feature, not some super-clever drift tunneling technique. The stone is likely a fraud. Who would place a cryptic sign 90 feet down, telling themselves (in secret writing) to keep digging? Wouldn't they presumably know that they hadn't reached their treasure yet? Wouldn't they be more likely to place an innocuous sign on the surface, such as a gravestone? It's more likely a way to con investors out of further funds. It's probably nothing but a rumor.
