"It's called kyawthuite (cha-too-ite), a tiny, tawny-hued grain weighing just a third of a gram (1.61 carats). On first glance, you might mistaken it for amber or topaz; but the unassuming mineral speck has value beyond measure."

Well, that's the end, guys!

The two federal cases are being shut down, Jack Smith is retiring, and there's no way the Georgia case goes forward if a literal conviction is paused.

America was nice while it lasted!

There is an island in the North Atlantic...

I've been following this story since I was a kid, so are the two brothers out digging for treasure.

Story goes, in 1795, some kids saw a mysterious light on a nearby island in Nova Scotia. They took a boat out and found a pulley hanging from a tree branch over an odd depression in the ground.

Like any ingenous kids, they went "Yay! Pirate treasure!" and started digging.

10 feet down, they hit a floor of oak logs. They pulled those out and kept digging. They found another floor every 10 feet until they hit 90 feet, which had a mysterious carved stone on it.

After that, their hole flooded and people have been digging for treasure ever since. To a point where the island has been so thoroughly dug up, the location of the original "money pit" has been lost for decades.

The History Channel show has been trying for 12 seasons now. Lots of myths and legends about it.

The mysterious "90 foot stone" has been lost, no rubbings or photographs were made. A transcription and translation popped up, but it doesn't seem to be older than the 1940s.

In the 1960s, several people died during the excavation, the show is fond of repeating the "curse" that 6 people have died, and a 7th must die before the treasure can be recovered. There is no reference to that curse prior to the 1960s or 1970s.

I get it, it's FUNNY. Everybody hates a Nazi, punch a Nazi day, etc. etc. etc.

But here's the thing:

Doxing goes against lemmy.world terms of sevice and it DOES NOT MATTER if the person you are trying to dox is a Nazi or not.
