- Who Found
- Oak Island Treasure Co. (Welling, William Chappell, Fullerton). William, Mel and Claude Chappell. Edwin Hamilton. Triton Alliance.
- When Found
- 1898. 1931. 1942. 1980 & 1987 (see "Ice Holes). 1992 1993
- Where Found
- Money Pit end found in Chappell Shaft at 115' in 1931 and in Hamilton Shaft in 1942 at 150' but the latter contradicts in that it found the entrance on the east side rather than the southwest. South Shore ends found in 1898 at 3 locations on or below the low tide line. Hydraulic connection to South Shore also surmised by 4 ice holes found in 1980 and during drilling/pumping action in 1993.
