A stone with unusual etchings was discovered near the Money Pit on Oak Island. Tory Martin noticed the stone while working, and it caught the attention of Rick Laguna and his team. The stone's features, resembling Roman numerals, sparked interest due to their similarity to carvings at Smith's Cove. The team consulted with experts, including geologist Terry Mathison and historian Paul Troutman, to determine if the stone was man-made. The stone's composition, identified as graywacke, and its potential historical significance were discussed. The team decided to seek further expertise in ancient scripts to uncover the stone's meaning.
