Mr. Restall won't say much about this venture. He thas unearth-: ed. 'findings', but they are -not gold; nor parchment maps. They include a- stone bearing the date 1704, a lange boulder along the shore into which was 'cut a picture of a small ship whose spar points directly to an apex of rocks, and two marker stones bearing ident- ical drill holes. The treasure is supposed to have been divided into parts, but none of it lies at the bottom of the fam- ous '"'money pit', often probed at great expense.

If Mr. Restall says they'll be successful next year, then the family looks for success. _ Mr. Restall, stocky and bushy- haired, first heard about Oak Is- land when he was a youngster in school. "I planned thén that if I ever was well-heeled I was going to go to Oak Island and look for the treasure," he said. He never became "well-heeled", but never- theless two years ago decided it was now or never. So he and his family with 'their pet dog on October 10, 1959, set up year-round residénce on Oak Island.: They have no electricity, and make one trip 'a week to the mainland for groceries. Tt'S a lon- ely life. Mr. Restali thas floated tons of equipment to- the island; includ- ing a compressor and an old model car.
