The 'H' in the H + O Stone reminded me of the one symbol that has been said to be the key link between the Templars and the Freemasons, often referred to as the 'Triple Tao' of Royal Arch Masonry. Only the highest-ranking Freemasons are allowed to wear this symbol and they wear it prominently so it must be important.
The 'Triple Tao' was named such because it looks like three Greek T's (or 'Tao's). Lower-ranking Freemasons are told it represents the Holy Trinity and the three levels of Freemasonry. But in fact, it has a more secretive meaning, one told to me by a high-ranking Freemason - it's suggested that it's a capital Latin T over a capital Latin H. The T stands for 'Templum' (or 'Temple' in Latin) and the H stands for 'Hierosolyma' (or 'Jerusalem' in Latin) resulting in the "Temple of Jerusalem".
So I believe the 'H' was carved with the cross-bars to resemble the Triple Tao indicating the treasure on Oak Island is from Jerusalem. Who knows what was cut off prior to the 'H'? Perhaps a 'T' . . .
So why is there a crooked crossbar between the stanchions of the H? I've always heard in symbology that V is a symbol for Mary Magdalene (or the sacred feminine) and the inverted V is a symbol for Jesus, perhaps suggesting the presence of religious objects or specifically the Holy Grail in addition to the Templar relics and gold.
