Yeah, and unless some major geologic event occurred between then and now, I don't see how anybody from the 1700s could have created this Rube Goldberg style barrier that modern technology is unable to get through. Everybody is milking this experience. The realistic end of this, is that somebody eventually dies in an accident, and all exploration activity on the island comes to a halt forever. Problem solved; the enigma of the island gets to live on.
Anybody hoping for some discovery like the Goonies' and One-Eyed Pete's treasure will be disappointed.
