I'e told Mike this before but I always try the local hardware store before Home Despot and always the local bookstore before Barnes. Just the way to go unless you want those places to be closed.

Here's another gem
Oak Island
Oak Island is a small isle on North Americas east coast.
In 1795 a 16 years old boy named Daniel McGinny hit on an idea that he should explore the uninhabited isle. Under a tree he found a small dent, it looked like someone had tried to hide something there. McGinny's curiosity was arouse and the next day he had brought two friends, shovels and spades with him. About one meter down they found a vertical shaft.
The following ten years, this three boys dug more than thirty meters, and during these years they come across a lots of impediments, but they clear of them all, until 1804. In 1804, water began to fill the shaft. But before they had to quit they had found a stone with an inscription they couldn't interpret. Later a professor interprets the text to "ten feet to two million pounds".
Oak Island was abandoned for a few years, but in 1849 new treasure hunters arrive. With an auger they were succeed to came deeper, and they found three gold chains. The leader of the group kept something, probably valuable. He tried to buy the whole isle, but didn't succeed. The group went on digging but was restrain by water that kept fill the shaft.
One day a worker fell into the shaft and when he came up he could tell his surprising mates that it was salt water. It was shown that along the whole beach was a complicated system of canals that leaded salt water into the shaft.
Not even today, with all modern stuff, have anyone succeed to get through the water. In 1996 the multimillionaire D. Mugar invested 65 millions kr to build a cement pipe (?) in the shaft to keep the water away. But as yet haven't exposed Oak Island's, at least, two hundred years old secret.
Geologists, scientists, many more have all their own idea of what Oak Island is hiding, here are three of them:
-It was the famous Captain Kid who hid a treasure on the isle. This theory is based on a map in H.Wilkins book about Captain Kid. The book was released in 1935.
-Another theory is that is was the English military. About 1780 the English were losing America and it is a possibility that they tried to hide the regiment's strongbox. Besides had the military people enough to do the extensive engineering work behind the shaft.
-Other mean that the shaft is from about 600 and a burial plot for a priest. Objects found in the shaft are dated around 1575 and a scissor from the 17th century has been found.
