The Money Pit could very well e a natural feature which was utilized to conceal whatever is at the bottom and there is something there but no one knows just waht.
The timber layers and cocoanut matting which were found at 10 ft intervals definitely prove the work of Man and the small bit of gold chain which came up during one of the test drills tells us that there is at least some gold down there. Actually, the original location of the Money Pit has been lost, so current diggnings are on the periphery of the suspected location of the original. I think soon the mystery will be resolved due to the use of modern digging and pumping techniques and ground penetrating radar may well give a much better idea of just what is there.
