And this makes a pretty good point why it can't be a hoax, or how would he have access to the old cisterciensier dating table, the easter table?

If öhman hoaxed it how did he have access to the cisterciensier easter table?
Who built the newport tower and who planted oaks on oak island? They are not endemic there you know.
Yeah. Quite literally.

It's a phantastic story.
It has errors compared to other carved texts that are of the time. There's no getting away from that.
The writing could be off because someone just used it for the only reason that runes are easier to cut in stone than latin letters. Of course there would be mistakes.
But you're basing your "he dug it up" on his word. Anyone can say they dug something up.
The fact that someone planted the trees over the place where the tablet was hidden 1362 strongly suggests to me that it wasn't öhman. He hid it there 1880 to dig it up 18 years later? Nope.

And the stone has acid traces from the tree roots on it, so it was definitely under earth under a tree.
It is.

It's not fake.
Who wouldn't want it to be true? It would be amazing if it was true. Sadly, it's not.
But I can live with it, if you and many others just don't want it to be true.
Or find the hiding place of unicorns?
Who knows maybe we live long enough for someone to find the treasure.
If it is found to be true and the treasure found, I will eat my hat. I only have one so I'd be a bit upset.
But then you and others will probably say that it's a hoax too...
