That there is any treasure is highly speculative.
It is unlikely that any such items would be particularly dangerous, insofar that archaeologists often seem to turn up old artefacts without ill effect.
There has been some speculation that the “treasure” is something highly dangerous- the Quatermass hypothesis.
Let us think through the options if some people had something very dangerous.
Since Oak Island is an island, the owners of the “treasure” must have had a boat. Tipping something into deep water would be an easier way of dealing with a hazardous object- if I recall, the US disposed of the reactor compartment from the USS Seawolf (1950s liquid metal fuelled one) into the Atlantic- with no reported ill effects- albeit it doesn’t sound like the actions of cod-fearing people!
There has been speculation that there may have been a radioactive object that was killing people. This is almost impossible. Natural radioactive materials have long half -lives- and things with long half-lives have low specific activities and tend to self shield. It is hard to see how any activity capable of causing radiation sickness could accumulate naturally. Madame Curie received the Nobel Prize for separating radium by chemical means from pitchblende- whilst radioactive, the dose rate from pitchblende is too low to cause short term effects.
Thanks for the A2A, but I don’t know why I was asked. But I was reminded of that part in Treasure Island where the pirates approach the treasure trove and think they hear the ghost of Captain Flint singing “Fifteen Men on a Dead Man’s Chest”
The Oak Island mystery refers to stories of buried treasure and unexplained objects found on or near Oak Island in Nova Scotia. Since the 19th century, a number of attempts have been made to locate treasure and artifacts. Theories about artifacts present on the island range from pirate treasure, to Shakespearean manuscripts, to possibly the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant, with the Grail and the Ark having been buried there by the Knights Templar. Various items have surfaced over the years that were found on the island, some of which have since been carbon dated and found to be hundreds of years old.
