I think you're talking about the "map stone", Mr. blaise. And, you're right, it's missing now. However (and this is really important), the map stone was found and its contents copied very early on ... well before any thought would have been given to hoaxing the deal. At that time they found it, they probably believed the treasure was just another spade length further down. Keep in mind that they were still finding these "platforms" of oak and coconut and putty and flagstone all the way down to 60/70 feet. These platforms were obviously man made and placed there for a reason ... either to dissuade treasure hunters or protect the treasure.

I think the map stone is legit. I'm not so sure about some of the other engraved stones in the area. They could well have been done by laborers or tourists.
