Chappell’s Breakthrough
One discovery that Chappell could look back on with pride was an anchor flute which was found on the side of a tunnel. There was also an instrument that resembled a 250-year-old Acadian axe. Other notable findings included parts of an oil lamp, as well as a miner’s pick. Unfortunately though, after spending a hefty $40,000, Chappells Limited were forced to suspend their activities in 1932. Someone else would have to pick things up and carry on the Oak Island torch. But who?
