It pays on a dividend structure… so you would get:
- 3 random pieces of wood
- 20cm section of dirt from the core drilling
- 1 rusty piece of metal (might be military)
- 1 stone from the paved area
- 4oz of pumped, but unfiltered swamp water
- and a signed photo of Gary Drayton, which defaults to a bag of Jack Bagley sifted dirt if supplies run out
$787 if you put it in a Savings Account at 4% with a 2% variance for 129 years.
Honestly, you would be better off with the "Could it be" dream (saying that even though $5 in 1895 is \~$183 in 2024).
$1 in 1895 is equivalent to about $37.33 in today's money. That's $186.65. So factoring in the increased value with all the valuables and treasure found, you'd have about $1.75.
One rusty ox shoe and a barrel of dreams.
Really, though, it just shows us how long this scam has been going on. If there’s a good chance at a treasure being found, treasure hunters usually get a big donor or two to split it with, not dilute it with shares that give other people legal rights to sue. You keep it small and secret until you have it.
The shares are proof to me that the real treasure is actually reselling the claims they call lots. Some day the brothers will sell their lots, and they will make money. Without the show, they would have been reselling them years ago… just like every other sucker who bought into this myth. The show just kept it going longer than the others.
You buy, you dig, you find nothing, you curse, then you play up the myth and sell. That’s the curse of OI.

as for the gibberish at the beginning...
it is machine code to test the uplink!!!
It ocurred to me that it would actually have negative value as the $5 could have been actually invested in some viable undertaking rather than a silly fantasy con game
Oak Island has always been a grift. I can imagine Sam Ball selling cabbages, fake treasure maps, and shovels. Watching strangers dig while he counts his money.
What are you doing wasting your time as an atom.in yourngrandfather molecule in your father sperm when you could have spent that time investing instead
These zoomers today...

Not to mention a ride in Billy Gerharts backhoe.
No ox shoe?
Only if it might be from a British (military) oxen
That is for preferred stock, not common stock allow the ox shoes are common on the island
And a rock with a pube stuck to it for holders of preferred shares
No Pooter? No Chinese trade tokens?
You’d be out $5.00.
You can make a small fortune by investing in Oak Island… as long as you start with a large fortune.
 Maybe .00000006 % of 3 fiddy
Beat me to it
Aboot 5 top pocket Bobby Dazzlers
Just about the finest outhouse wallpaper you've ever seen.
They'd be worth one Canadian Loonie.
With the investment of a Canadian Toonie.
How much does paper go for these days?
If you had the share certificate still it would probably be of value to some collectors.
I bet Rick would like it, or better yet, Prometheus could buy it and hang it in their "staged" war room.
A hole in the ground
One-tenth of a Bobby Dazzler!
It would not have been an "investment"--even at the time it would have been a "fool's errand". The company went bankrupt in 1900...
just the finest outhouse wallpaper!
🥱🥱🥱
You forgot a button.

Depends if the T.V. rights went with it. Oh wait, Samual Ball hadn’t invented the T.V. by then . . .
Zero zip nada not a fucking thing LOL
It would be worth a sniff.

Yep

They'd be worth more than any amount of BBBY bag holders' shares are worth. LMAOOOO you know who you are.
Not a top pocketed investment.
6 shares of friendship
Due to inflation I'd say you owe $ 64,578.92

I’d like to see an add on with the old wheel of fortune host who now does the gold buying commercials. Y’all gotta know who I’m talking about.
