About This Artifact

Stone carving of a goose paw symbol discovered by researcher Corjan Mol in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, near Oak Island. The goose paw (patte d'oie) was a common marker used by the stonemasons of the Knights Templar and appears on the cornerstones of numerous Templar churches across Europe. The symbol signifies the webbing of a goose's foot. Similar goose paw carvings were also examined by Mol and the Oak Island team in Liverpool, Nova Scotia (Season 10, Episode 11), approximately 50 miles southwest of Oak Island, alongside other carved symbols with possible Christian and Templar connections.
