And nowadays you get pseudo archeology "The Knights Templar hid all their treasure on this Canadian island!" type stuff.
I swear, the curse of oak island people could find a buried smart phone on the island and almost immediately they'd say that the knights templar must have had working cell phones back in medieval times and clearly called up the natives of the area to clear them taking their modern warship ( think now, not medieval modern ) over to bury it.
