I've come to think that some of these 'trap door/flooded tunnel' type things they keep encountering, are just natural geological features of the island itself
All of the modern technology in the world cant seem to bust through all of the little traps built in by people who fought with swords and thought draining blood from from sick people was medicine
I just have a very hard time seeing anything truly revolutionary being down there... not to be a smartass in ANY way at all, but its starting to sound like it was an ancient sinkhole where ancient explorers dumped their dead bodies and various junk
Granted, there have been a few features that seem to put the lie to my take... but I've just reached the limits of my imagination on what a few ships worth of explorers were able to accomplish given the tools they had at hand, and whats known of the technological prowess of that time

I think my view is still that basically all of the best stuff was found by that Samuel Ball guy or the original money pit discoverers. Let’s not forget that a descendant of one of those guys has a pure gold cross with some jewels that apparently came from the money pit. My hope is that there really was something deeper down though that wasn’t discovered and over the years fell and settled in this potential void and they are now onto it or perhaps it just wasn’t able to be reached. Or it’s simply possible they are finding the remnants of what was once there.
I also still think that swamp area looks odd. One thing they need to do for sure is a more thorough metal detecting job on the beach. Use the larger equipment they had in the swamp in the past.
I do think it’s cool though that they really seem to be proving something out of the ordinary happened here and that there is a good chance there really was treasure there at some point. They have quite a bit more evidence to support the stories than most of these types of things ever get. Whether there is any left to be found who knows, but hopefully there is still going to be some pretty cool stuff uncovered.
