The men stood by, watching the cable come up the hole. It looped over a pulley and wound around the drum. Turn upon turn, the cable wrapped around the drum. Dozens upon dozens of feet of steel cable came up the hole. Finally, a dark object emerged.
The workers scrambled, carefully guiding the object from the Money Pit and setting it gently down on the ground. People swarmed around the object, with camera crews documenting every moment.
"Set back!" a man ordered. He carried a circular saw and began grinding away at the treasure chest.
Everyone stared with unblinking eyes as the saw cut away at the ancient lock. Thunk! The cut lock fell to the ground.
Everyone knew the most anticipated moment of their lives was at hand.
Carefully the man opened the top of the treasure chest.
Everyone held their breaths.
"We now know what the treasure of Oak Island is... the banned episodes of My Little Pony ."
Silence reigned.
"What!" someone yelled.
The man took out the DVDs. "We've got an episode where Pinkie Pie goes on a homicidal rage... one where Twilight gets Spike neutered... one where Fluttershy discovers her love of meat... one where Applejack tells Apple Bloom that she's her mother... one where Rarity makes a porno... one where Rainbow crashes and breaks her neck... and one where the ponies discover that they are really on a television show."
