This piece of parchment was recovered from the Oak Island Money Pit during excavations. At 46 metres, the drill struck soft stone and below that, a layer of oak. Proceeding this, the drill bit sunk through what could only be described as spices of loose metal and when it came to the surface, the above fragment was recovered from the tip of the drill. Many people believe it shows the letters "vi" or "ri" in a flowing, handwritten script, however, the orientation of the fragment must be considered, as it may mean something very different another way up.

 The fragment is very small indeed, measuring no more than about a centimetre across.
