1
00:00:01,109 --> 00:00:03,250
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,375 --> 00:00:06,583
We have a large metallic anomaly
in the swamp.
3
00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:07,958
Wow! That's great.
4
00:00:08,042 --> 00:00:10,750
I believe there are
answers in that swamp.
5
00:00:10,875 --> 00:00:12,625
Yes! We're starting to dig.
6
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:15,208
The more we dig,
the more we find.
7
00:00:15,375 --> 00:00:16,958
Oh, my gosh!
8
00:00:17,042 --> 00:00:19,250
What the heck is that?
9
00:00:20,375 --> 00:00:21,726
Something's going on
in that corner.
10
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:22,875
They hit something solid.
11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,333
They couldn't drill through it.
12
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:25,976
That's where
the gold signal's coming from.
13
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,042
There could be something there.
14
00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,417
There is an island
in the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,542 --> 00:00:37,042
where people
have been looking for
16
00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:40,458
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:44,083
So far, they have
found a stone slab
18
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,000
with strange
symbols carved into it,
19
00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:48,167
manmade workings
20
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:50,917
that date to medieval times
21
00:00:51,042 --> 00:00:53,333
and a lead cross whose origin
22
00:00:53,417 --> 00:00:56,167
may be connected to
the Knights Templar.
23
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,167
To date, six men have died
24
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:01,833
trying to solve the mystery.
25
00:01:01,917 --> 00:01:03,833
And according to legend,
26
00:01:03,958 --> 00:01:07,167
one more will have to die
27
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,708
before the treasure
can be found.
28
00:01:25,417 --> 00:01:26,500
Hey, Paul.
29
00:01:26,583 --> 00:01:28,083
Hey, how's it going?
30
00:01:28,208 --> 00:01:30,000
Question is, how are you doing?
31
00:01:30,083 --> 00:01:31,458
All right.
32
00:01:31,542 --> 00:01:33,417
- Mind if we go and have a look?
- Yeah.
33
00:01:33,542 --> 00:01:36,500
Another promising
day has begun on Oak Island
34
00:01:36,625 --> 00:01:39,833
for brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina,
35
00:01:39,917 --> 00:01:43,000
their partner Craig Tester
and the rest of their team
36
00:01:43,167 --> 00:01:44,583
as they investigate
37
00:01:44,708 --> 00:01:47,333
the so-called Garden
Shaft in the hopes
38
00:01:47,417 --> 00:01:51,542
of finally solving a
228-year-old treasure mystery.
39
00:01:51,667 --> 00:01:53,917
They're probe drilling
straight down in the shaft.
40
00:01:54,042 --> 00:01:55,667
How deep are we?
41
00:01:55,792 --> 00:01:57,833
We're around 65 to 66 feet.
42
00:01:57,958 --> 00:02:00,167
- In between there.
- Okay.
43
00:02:00,292 --> 00:02:02,125
Of all the
large-scale excavations
44
00:02:02,208 --> 00:02:04,583
the Oak Island
team has performed
45
00:02:04,708 --> 00:02:06,500
during the past decade,
46
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:08,583
they have a number
of reasons to believe
47
00:02:08,708 --> 00:02:11,542
that the Garden Shaft, which
is now being reconstructed
48
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:14,333
by representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited,
49
00:02:14,458 --> 00:02:18,583
may be the key to locating
a legendary treasure vault.
50
00:02:18,708 --> 00:02:21,917
After scientifically
dating the shaft to 1735...
51
00:02:22,042 --> 00:02:25,833
Meaning that it could be
related to the original Money Pit...
52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,083
The team conducted
additional tests
53
00:02:28,208 --> 00:02:30,000
on water samples within it,
54
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:33,083
as well as on wood fragments
55
00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:35,375
collected from the
walls of the structure
56
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:38,917
at depths of 55 and 58 feet.
57
00:02:39,042 --> 00:02:42,000
Incredibly, both
exercises yielded
58
00:02:42,083 --> 00:02:44,500
high trace evidence of gold.
59
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,083
Really appreciate you grabbing
these samples of the wood
60
00:02:48,208 --> 00:02:50,417
as you're boring through
there, cutting a hole.
61
00:02:50,542 --> 00:02:54,083
'Cause, uh, you know, the
gold we found up hole a little bit,
62
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:57,083
it's got us excited to
see what's down here.
63
00:02:57,208 --> 00:02:59,583
And if we can use that
wood and trace the gold,
64
00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:01,917
hopefully it can tell us
where it's coming from.
65
00:03:02,042 --> 00:03:03,500
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
66
00:03:03,625 --> 00:03:05,417
Now, given that the location
67
00:03:05,542 --> 00:03:08,125
of the Garden
Shaft is within 20 feet
68
00:03:08,208 --> 00:03:10,208
of the so-called
"treasure zone,"
69
00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:12,667
where geoscientist
Dr. Ian Spooner
70
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,667
and his colleague
hydrogeologist Dr. Fred Michael
71
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:17,750
believe the Money
Pit treasure vault
72
00:03:17,875 --> 00:03:21,500
may be buried between
80 and 120 feet deep...
73
00:03:21,583 --> 00:03:23,833
There's another
augur on there now.
74
00:03:23,958 --> 00:03:27,250
Dumas is conducting a
probe drilling operation
75
00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:29,042
within the structure
76
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,583
at a depth of
approximately 65 feet,
77
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,083
in the hopes of
finding more evidence
78
00:03:34,208 --> 00:03:36,292
of the fabled riches.
79
00:03:37,208 --> 00:03:39,333
Using a hydraulic earth drill,
80
00:03:39,458 --> 00:03:41,792
the team is drilling three holes
81
00:03:41,875 --> 00:03:44,333
through all four walls
of the original shaft
82
00:03:44,458 --> 00:03:47,167
which will reach
as far as 20 feet
83
00:03:47,292 --> 00:03:49,417
in every direction.
84
00:03:49,542 --> 00:03:51,750
It's all about, at this point,
85
00:03:51,875 --> 00:03:53,083
the probe drilling
86
00:03:53,208 --> 00:03:54,833
and trying to use
the information
87
00:03:54,958 --> 00:03:57,667
derived from that program
to further our understanding
88
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,333
of the relevance
of the Garden Shaft
89
00:03:59,458 --> 00:04:01,000
in terms of treasure recovery.
90
00:04:01,167 --> 00:04:02,927
That seemed
to be drilling awful easy.
91
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:04,833
Yeah.
92
00:04:04,958 --> 00:04:06,893
It's exciting to
think about the possibilities,
93
00:04:06,917 --> 00:04:10,125
because, uh, now we
have found gold values,
94
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:11,667
meaning that...
95
00:04:11,792 --> 00:04:13,792
we might be close
to a source location
96
00:04:13,917 --> 00:04:15,958
for gold here.
97
00:04:17,167 --> 00:04:18,625
Where are they at?
98
00:04:18,708 --> 00:04:21,417
- In, uh, northeast corner.
- Okay.
99
00:04:21,542 --> 00:04:23,250
Something's
going on in that corner.
100
00:04:23,375 --> 00:04:25,417
Yeah. Still, it's
looking like it's
101
00:04:25,542 --> 00:04:27,500
- a softer corner, which...
- Yeah.
102
00:04:27,583 --> 00:04:29,917
Which all indications
were from what we've seen.
103
00:04:30,042 --> 00:04:34,000
We've been probe drilling
in the northeast corner,
104
00:04:34,125 --> 00:04:36,833
and the ground seems quite soft.
105
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,833
It's very interesting.
106
00:04:38,958 --> 00:04:40,583
It's telling us something.
107
00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:43,500
Are we gonna find tunnels? Are
we gonna to find unknown shafts?
108
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:46,042
And we're real excited about it.
109
00:04:46,167 --> 00:04:47,875
You know, if
there's a tunnel there
110
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
or anything like that, it's
gonna be really interesting.
111
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:51,792
We just got the information
112
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:53,515
and we'll start
following the information.
113
00:04:53,625 --> 00:04:55,018
That's right. Let the
science do the work.
114
00:04:55,042 --> 00:04:56,250
- Yeah. - Yep.
- Yeah.
115
00:04:56,375 --> 00:04:58,833
Okay, well, it's moving along.
116
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,167
- Okay.
- Thank you very much.
117
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:01,583
We'll keep at it.
118
00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:04,000
Let me know if
you hit anything, for sure.
119
00:05:04,167 --> 00:05:05,917
Okay, will do.
120
00:05:07,833 --> 00:05:10,750
Later that afternoon...
121
00:05:11,917 --> 00:05:13,875
All right. What
we got going here today?
122
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,125
I want to pull this corner back,
123
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:19,250
because when we first dug,
124
00:05:19,375 --> 00:05:22,375
I thought there were a
couple three stones there.
125
00:05:22,542 --> 00:05:24,833
On Lot 13,
126
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,917
over 400 feet north
127
00:05:27,042 --> 00:05:29,000
of the triangle-shaped swamp...
128
00:05:29,125 --> 00:05:31,292
I agree, it's possible
129
00:05:31,375 --> 00:05:33,250
we could follow that
out a little further.
130
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:36,583
Craig Tester joins
Rick and Marty Lagina,
131
00:05:36,708 --> 00:05:39,833
along with fellow
landowner Tom Nolan,
132
00:05:39,958 --> 00:05:42,167
and other members
of the team to resume
133
00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:44,667
investigating a mysterious site
134
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:47,625
known as the
great quadrilateral.
135
00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:51,250
First discovered more
than 30 years ago
136
00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:53,833
by Tom's late
father, Fred Nolan,
137
00:05:53,917 --> 00:05:58,417
the feature is a 32-foot-long
formation of boulders,
138
00:05:58,542 --> 00:06:01,167
which Fred believed
might have been created
139
00:06:01,292 --> 00:06:03,083
centuries ago.
140
00:06:03,208 --> 00:06:05,875
Based on a diagram
that he designed
141
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,333
back in the 1990s,
142
00:06:08,458 --> 00:06:11,667
the team is currently excavating
143
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:13,583
the northeast portion
of the quadrilateral
144
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:15,667
in the hopes of determining
145
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:19,167
who created it and just
what they used it for.
146
00:06:19,250 --> 00:06:22,792
And all this clay is
out of place, is that correct?
147
00:06:22,875 --> 00:06:24,167
It shouldn't be there?
148
00:06:24,292 --> 00:06:26,333
Yeah, bottom line
is, you found artifacts.
149
00:06:26,458 --> 00:06:29,458
That tells us that
somebody's dug that clay.
150
00:06:29,542 --> 00:06:31,667
And we found that staple.
151
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:33,958
Yeah, we did,
and that's the thing.
152
00:06:34,083 --> 00:06:35,375
- If we can dig deeper...
- Mm.
153
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,083
The artifacts should be older.
154
00:06:37,208 --> 00:06:38,958
The more we dig,
the more we find.
155
00:06:40,958 --> 00:06:43,250
Hey, Rick? That's
a bit of clay there.
156
00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:46,042
Where have you
seen that color before?
157
00:06:46,167 --> 00:06:47,667
Money Pit.
158
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:49,667
One week ago,
159
00:06:49,792 --> 00:06:52,500
after uncovering an
artificial layer of blue clay,
160
00:06:52,667 --> 00:06:54,417
which is a kind of water sealant
161
00:06:54,542 --> 00:06:56,750
that was also found
deep in the Money Pit
162
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:58,333
back in 1804,
163
00:06:58,458 --> 00:07:01,208
- Ooh! A piece of metal.
- The team discovered
164
00:07:01,375 --> 00:07:03,167
a heavy iron staple.
165
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:05,250
A staple
166
00:07:05,375 --> 00:07:07,417
that blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge
167
00:07:07,542 --> 00:07:10,417
believed was part
of a pulley system
168
00:07:10,542 --> 00:07:12,875
designed to move heavy objects
169
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
and may actually date
back to medieval times.
170
00:07:17,208 --> 00:07:19,667
To me, this strongly
171
00:07:19,792 --> 00:07:21,625
suggests the original work.
172
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:24,000
Now we have to figure
out the why of this.
173
00:07:24,125 --> 00:07:26,625
Is there a possibility
that there's something
174
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:29,542
underground here that
may be the one thing?
175
00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:31,250
I'm-I'm hopeful. I am.
176
00:07:31,375 --> 00:07:32,833
But we have to prove it.
177
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,417
Okay. Go hop in that
machine and start finding.
178
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:37,833
- Yep.
- All right, mate. I'll get ready as well.
179
00:07:40,708 --> 00:07:43,167
As Billy
Gerhardt excavates the feature,
180
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:45,875
metal detection
expert Gary Drayton
181
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,250
will search the spoils
for important clues
182
00:07:48,375 --> 00:07:50,500
and signs of treasure.
183
00:07:50,583 --> 00:07:53,000
The quadrilateral
appears to be an area
184
00:07:53,125 --> 00:07:55,167
of rather substantial impact.
185
00:07:55,292 --> 00:07:57,958
The boulders, they were
basically stacked in two tiers.
186
00:07:58,083 --> 00:08:00,708
Doesn't look anything
like an agricultural thing.
187
00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:03,167
Farmers are extremely
practical people.
188
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:04,573
They're not gonna waste effort.
189
00:08:04,667 --> 00:08:06,375
And why would they dig down
190
00:08:06,542 --> 00:08:08,667
eight, 12, 14 feet?
191
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:10,583
No, it's not farmers.
192
00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:12,167
It's not agricultural.
193
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:13,833
So could it be
somehow associated
194
00:08:13,917 --> 00:08:16,042
with the whole mystery? Yeah.
195
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:20,250
That one weird,
little tick like that.
196
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:24,375
Yeah, we can't ignore that.
197
00:08:24,542 --> 00:08:26,542
Just there.
198
00:08:35,375 --> 00:08:37,208
Is that a lump of coal
on the side there?
199
00:08:37,375 --> 00:08:39,667
On the side of that wall there?
200
00:08:42,042 --> 00:08:44,000
A little charcoal?
201
00:08:50,208 --> 00:08:52,458
That is definitely
charcoal, mate, isn't it?
202
00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:53,583
Yeah.
203
00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:55,333
See the glint off of it?
204
00:08:55,458 --> 00:08:56,833
Yeah, definitely part
205
00:08:56,958 --> 00:08:58,917
of the quadrilateral
story, for sure.
206
00:08:59,042 --> 00:09:00,792
Yeah, good eye, Gary, because
207
00:09:00,875 --> 00:09:02,625
- it was right there in the wall.
- Yep.
208
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:05,500
Because
charcoal can be carbon-dated...
209
00:09:05,583 --> 00:09:07,917
I'll put this in the
bag, Rick. This is cool.
210
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:10,375
Perhaps this discovery can offer
211
00:09:10,542 --> 00:09:12,625
the team another clue as to when
212
00:09:12,708 --> 00:09:15,083
this feature was created.
213
00:09:15,208 --> 00:09:17,583
All right, let's get back at it.
214
00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:21,208
The other burning
question, where's the metal?
215
00:09:21,375 --> 00:09:23,500
It seems to be
216
00:09:23,667 --> 00:09:25,833
elongated. Oh.
217
00:09:25,958 --> 00:09:27,958
It's there?
218
00:09:28,042 --> 00:09:29,917
Still there?
219
00:09:31,542 --> 00:09:33,833
Yep. It's just...
220
00:09:33,958 --> 00:09:35,875
finding it.
221
00:09:37,458 --> 00:09:40,042
I believe... got it.
222
00:09:40,167 --> 00:09:41,958
That's it.
223
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:46,083
What the heck is this?
224
00:09:46,208 --> 00:09:49,083
Oh, my gosh!
225
00:09:52,875 --> 00:09:54,333
- Heavy?
- Yeah, it's heavy.
226
00:09:54,458 --> 00:09:56,500
Uh, don't know what it is.
227
00:09:56,625 --> 00:09:59,667
- It's a curved piece of iron.
- Yeah.
228
00:09:59,792 --> 00:10:02,167
While excavating
the mysterious formation
229
00:10:02,292 --> 00:10:06,042
known as the great
quadrilateral on Lot 13...
230
00:10:06,208 --> 00:10:08,083
- What you got, Gary?
- It looks like
231
00:10:08,208 --> 00:10:09,708
some large piece of iron.
232
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:12,125
- Yep. - Billy Gerhardt
233
00:10:12,208 --> 00:10:15,167
and Gary Drayton have
just unearthed a potentially
234
00:10:15,292 --> 00:10:16,833
important discovery.
235
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,792
- Was that in the clay?
- Eh.
236
00:10:19,875 --> 00:10:21,792
It's not in the clay, no.
237
00:10:21,917 --> 00:10:23,708
- Show it to these guys.
- Yeah.
238
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,167
That just seems strange to me.
239
00:10:28,292 --> 00:10:30,292
A little heavy.
240
00:10:30,375 --> 00:10:32,000
A little heavy. Watch yourself.
241
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,880
- It's weird, whatever it is.
- Yeah.
242
00:10:36,042 --> 00:10:38,417
It's a non-descript
hunk of something.
243
00:10:38,542 --> 00:10:40,333
Chunk of metal.
244
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,708
- That's heavy.
- Yeah.
245
00:10:42,833 --> 00:10:45,667
- That is rusty.
- Yeah.
246
00:10:45,792 --> 00:10:48,583
- But that's not 30 years of rusty.
- No.
247
00:10:48,708 --> 00:10:50,833
- It looks more than that.
- Yeah. Yeah.
248
00:10:50,958 --> 00:10:53,083
This goes well
back into antiquity.
249
00:10:53,208 --> 00:10:54,292
Right.
250
00:10:54,375 --> 00:10:55,708
Well, that's not something
251
00:10:55,875 --> 00:10:57,167
you find every day.
252
00:10:57,292 --> 00:10:58,625
Nope.
253
00:10:58,750 --> 00:10:59,875
Just on Oak Island.
254
00:11:00,042 --> 00:11:01,667
Just on Oak Island.
255
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:03,542
Tell you, mate, when
that chunk of iron
256
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:05,508
come out there, the
way it's curved like that,
257
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:07,917
the size and the weight of it,
258
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:11,167
reminded me of a
fragment of a cannonball.
259
00:11:11,292 --> 00:11:14,667
I've found loads of them in
the southeast United States.
260
00:11:14,792 --> 00:11:17,708
I mean, we did find armament.
261
00:11:17,875 --> 00:11:20,458
- We've found musket balls, obviously.
- Yeah.
262
00:11:20,542 --> 00:11:22,458
We've found
Portuguese stone shot.
263
00:11:22,542 --> 00:11:24,083
- Yeah.
- If you start putting
264
00:11:24,208 --> 00:11:25,542
puzzle pieces together,
265
00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:27,018
then that becomes
perhaps more relevant.
266
00:11:27,042 --> 00:11:28,292
Yeah.
267
00:11:28,375 --> 00:11:30,917
A possible
fragment of a cannonball
268
00:11:31,042 --> 00:11:33,958
found in the great
quadrilateral?
269
00:11:34,042 --> 00:11:36,375
And of a potentially
ancient origin?
270
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:37,792
- Ready?
- Yep.
271
00:11:39,042 --> 00:11:41,667
I love it when we
find stuff like this.
272
00:11:41,833 --> 00:11:44,208
That is a bona fide artifact.
273
00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:46,542
Over the past three years,
274
00:11:46,667 --> 00:11:50,917
the team has found two stone
cannonballs on Oak Island,
275
00:11:51,042 --> 00:11:54,458
one of which was discovered
deep in the Money Pit area.
276
00:11:54,542 --> 00:11:56,917
Incredibly, those objects,
277
00:11:57,042 --> 00:11:59,667
just like the stone
road that was uncovered
278
00:11:59,833 --> 00:12:01,500
in the triangle-shaped swamp
279
00:12:01,667 --> 00:12:03,875
back in 2020
280
00:12:04,042 --> 00:12:08,000
and the stone wall
located on Lot 26,
281
00:12:08,167 --> 00:12:11,667
are all believed to be
500 years old or more.
282
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:14,125
And potentially connected
283
00:12:14,208 --> 00:12:17,708
to the Portuguese sect
of the Knights Templar.
284
00:12:18,708 --> 00:12:21,333
If it is indeed a
cannonball frag,
285
00:12:21,458 --> 00:12:23,833
then that becomes,
perhaps, extremely relevant.
286
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,125
Yep, you got that right, mate.
287
00:12:26,208 --> 00:12:28,042
Could Rick Lagina be correct
288
00:12:28,208 --> 00:12:31,375
that this discovery
may offer a critical clue
289
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:35,500
in identifying who created the
so-called great quadrilateral?
290
00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:38,708
I think we can say we got
it, but I'll re-check the hole
291
00:12:38,833 --> 00:12:40,167
- just in case.
- Yep. Yep.
292
00:12:40,292 --> 00:12:41,667
If so, the question
293
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:43,875
that grows all the
more curious is,
294
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,250
just what was its purpose?
295
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,000
Yep, it's out.
296
00:12:49,167 --> 00:12:50,250
All right.
297
00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:51,625
It's all clear.
298
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:53,750
Billy, crank it up.
299
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:57,875
Geez!
300
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,893
I'd say we're getting
into some boulders as well.
301
00:13:02,917 --> 00:13:06,125
One there... one there.
302
00:13:07,250 --> 00:13:08,768
I don't know if
somebody wants to look,
303
00:13:08,792 --> 00:13:11,375
but you got four
rocks, all flat,
304
00:13:11,542 --> 00:13:14,000
right there... you can see
where the tops are scratched.
305
00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:16,167
- Yeah.
- You mean those four, four
306
00:13:16,292 --> 00:13:17,768
- small ones there, Billy, sort of...
- Yeah, it's just...
307
00:13:17,792 --> 00:13:19,184
they're just kind
of laid flatted out.
308
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:21,167
Worried about it,
or pulling them out?
309
00:13:21,292 --> 00:13:23,542
- No. Let's see what's under them.
- Keep going.
310
00:13:32,583 --> 00:13:34,833
This is definitely
a disturbed area
311
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,333
where somebody
excavated a bunch of stuff
312
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:40,708
and then put stuff back in
that didn't belong there...
313
00:13:40,833 --> 00:13:42,000
I'm coming down.
314
00:13:42,125 --> 00:13:44,000
And maybe the boulders here
315
00:13:44,167 --> 00:13:45,768
in this disturbed area
might have been used
316
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:47,333
to seal something.
317
00:13:47,458 --> 00:13:48,833
If treasure was
318
00:13:48,958 --> 00:13:50,833
brought to Oak Island
and deposited here,
319
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,708
this would be a
great place for it.
320
00:13:52,833 --> 00:13:54,833
Nothing in there.
321
00:13:54,917 --> 00:13:56,208
What do you think?
322
00:13:56,375 --> 00:13:57,833
So there's nothing really here?
323
00:13:57,958 --> 00:13:59,833
No. Nothing.
324
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,458
I wouldn't go any
further than that.
325
00:14:01,583 --> 00:14:03,167
Yeah.
326
00:14:03,292 --> 00:14:06,000
So now I think what
we need to do is
327
00:14:06,167 --> 00:14:07,726
sort of sequentially
move towards the west.
328
00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:09,208
I agree.
329
00:14:09,375 --> 00:14:11,125
And we need artifacts.
330
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:12,833
Or something underneath this.
331
00:14:12,958 --> 00:14:14,167
That's where I sit.
332
00:14:14,292 --> 00:14:16,333
Yeah, something went on here.
333
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:18,351
Something was dug out and
something was placed back in.
334
00:14:18,375 --> 00:14:19,833
And we don't know why.
335
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,708
I think we all agree
there's something
336
00:14:21,833 --> 00:14:24,125
strangely unique about this.
337
00:14:24,208 --> 00:14:25,833
Oh, yeah.
338
00:14:25,958 --> 00:14:28,125
We're not done
digging at the quadrilateral
339
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:30,042
is what the next steps are.
340
00:14:30,167 --> 00:14:33,708
We need to dig the
structure in its entirety.
341
00:14:33,875 --> 00:14:36,583
I believe there is a chance
342
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:38,833
that there are
additional boulders,
343
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,125
and hopefully
find more artifacts.
344
00:14:41,208 --> 00:14:43,875
And make our own assessment
of what it might mean.
345
00:14:44,042 --> 00:14:47,167
My usual MO is to say...
346
00:14:47,292 --> 00:14:50,708
keep digging, so that's
what I suggest we do.
347
00:14:50,833 --> 00:14:52,500
Yep. This is going to take
348
00:14:52,583 --> 00:14:54,000
- a few days.
- Yeah.
349
00:14:54,083 --> 00:14:55,833
But it's about the
end of the day,
350
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,500
so let's call it a day.
351
00:14:57,583 --> 00:15:00,125
- Okay.
- We'll be back again.
352
00:15:04,875 --> 00:15:07,167
- The following day...
- Going up.
353
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:09,708
As the probe drilling
operation continues
354
00:15:09,875 --> 00:15:11,333
in the Garden Shaft...
355
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:14,125
Certainly, the
Garden Shaft is the...
356
00:15:14,208 --> 00:15:16,667
most important, uh,
project that we have,
357
00:15:16,792 --> 00:15:19,000
but the swamp also is important.
358
00:15:19,125 --> 00:15:21,167
Rick, Marty and Craig
359
00:15:21,292 --> 00:15:24,000
have gathered members
of the team in the war room,
360
00:15:24,125 --> 00:15:27,125
as well as on video
conference, for an update
361
00:15:27,208 --> 00:15:29,333
on another major investigation
362
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:32,000
they soon hope to begin
363
00:15:32,125 --> 00:15:35,083
in order to help solve
the Oak Island mystery.
364
00:15:35,208 --> 00:15:38,083
The thing that is required,
obviously, is a permit.
365
00:15:38,208 --> 00:15:39,958
I just wanted to bring
everybody up to date,
366
00:15:40,083 --> 00:15:42,375
as to where we are. Laird has
367
00:15:42,542 --> 00:15:45,000
put in for heritage
research permits regarding
368
00:15:45,083 --> 00:15:47,292
the southeast
corner of the swamp.
369
00:15:47,375 --> 00:15:49,750
How's that for
a starting point, guys?
370
00:15:49,875 --> 00:15:51,167
Yeah, that's a good one.
371
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:52,833
Earlier this year,
372
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:55,667
the team conducted
new magnetometer scans
373
00:15:55,792 --> 00:15:57,542
in the swamp with geophysical
374
00:15:57,708 --> 00:16:00,667
experts Jeremy Church
and Burton Cosgrove.
375
00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:01,750
Whoa!
376
00:16:01,792 --> 00:16:02,958
- Big one?
- Yeah.
377
00:16:03,083 --> 00:16:05,417
- Through the roof.
- Fantastic!
378
00:16:06,542 --> 00:16:08,875
Incredibly,
they detected numerous
379
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,042
metallic anomalies in an area
380
00:16:11,167 --> 00:16:13,333
just several yards
from the possible
381
00:16:13,458 --> 00:16:16,833
Portuguese stone road
located in the brackish bog's
382
00:16:16,958 --> 00:16:19,250
southeast corner.
383
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:22,750
And we've sent all information
to the First Nations, right?
384
00:16:22,875 --> 00:16:23,917
Correct. We have. Yes.
385
00:16:24,042 --> 00:16:24,875
However,
386
00:16:25,042 --> 00:16:26,667
due to the discovery
387
00:16:26,833 --> 00:16:28,667
of 2,000-year-old fragments
388
00:16:28,833 --> 00:16:30,958
of First Nations Mi'kmaw pottery
389
00:16:31,042 --> 00:16:33,042
that archaeologist
Laird Niven made
390
00:16:33,167 --> 00:16:34,958
in the southeast
corner of the swamp
391
00:16:35,042 --> 00:16:37,250
back in 2021,
392
00:16:37,375 --> 00:16:40,375
the Oak Island team has
been delayed in obtaining
393
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,750
governmental permits
to once again draw down,
394
00:16:43,875 --> 00:16:45,875
or drain, the swamp
and investigate
395
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,250
those potential targets.
396
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:51,208
I know things have gotten
more complicated and
397
00:16:51,375 --> 00:16:53,335
- we need that draw-down permit because...
- Yeah.
398
00:16:53,458 --> 00:16:56,042
We want to dig and Jeremy's
399
00:16:56,208 --> 00:16:58,042
presentation and
there's some things that,
400
00:16:58,167 --> 00:16:59,833
in my mind, should be dug.
401
00:16:59,917 --> 00:17:01,500
Right.
402
00:17:01,625 --> 00:17:03,601
Billy, I'm going to turn it over
to you because you've been
403
00:17:03,625 --> 00:17:05,875
more intimately involved
in that process than anyone.
404
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,042
So if you can fill
everyone in, that'd be great.
405
00:17:08,208 --> 00:17:10,833
So, the government,
they've been very good
406
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,125
in communicating with us.
407
00:17:12,250 --> 00:17:14,625
The good news is...
408
00:17:14,708 --> 00:17:16,833
from what we understand...
409
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,875
they gave the approvals
410
00:17:20,042 --> 00:17:22,333
- for a permit. - Perfect!
411
00:17:24,208 --> 00:17:27,125
All the information
has been relayed
412
00:17:27,208 --> 00:17:29,000
to the proper
governmental authorities
413
00:17:29,167 --> 00:17:31,000
and all of the permit
414
00:17:31,125 --> 00:17:32,958
application requirements
have been met.
415
00:17:33,083 --> 00:17:34,500
Well done, sir.
416
00:17:34,625 --> 00:17:37,167
And I believe that
we should shortly
417
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:39,208
have the permits in hand.
418
00:17:39,375 --> 00:17:42,083
I think we're, uh,
we're well on our way.
419
00:17:42,208 --> 00:17:45,167
Hopefully it'll be all
positive from here on in.
420
00:17:45,333 --> 00:17:48,417
It's all good. We can't control
it beyond this, so proceed.
421
00:17:48,542 --> 00:17:49,958
All righty.
422
00:17:50,083 --> 00:17:51,500
- See you, guys.
- See you.
423
00:17:51,625 --> 00:17:53,542
- Thanks.
- Drain that swamp.
424
00:17:57,417 --> 00:17:59,018
Two days
after the Oak Island team's
425
00:17:59,042 --> 00:18:01,000
meeting in the war room...
426
00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:01,958
- Hey, Billy!
- How you doing, guys?
427
00:18:02,042 --> 00:18:03,125
Hey, Billy.
428
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:05,500
This is one heck of a big pump.
429
00:18:05,667 --> 00:18:07,643
- Yeah, yeah.
- Well, it's a big swamp.
430
00:18:07,667 --> 00:18:09,518
They have
officially received a permit
431
00:18:09,542 --> 00:18:13,250
from the provincial
government to drain the swamp
432
00:18:13,375 --> 00:18:16,500
in order to investigate a
number of potential metal targets
433
00:18:16,583 --> 00:18:19,458
that were detected
earlier this year.
434
00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:22,375
So we cleaned out the
sump, sump's all ready to go.
435
00:18:22,542 --> 00:18:24,167
When we did this year one,
436
00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:25,934
I don't remember what the
flow rate was on those things.
437
00:18:25,958 --> 00:18:28,167
- What-what's this thing?
- Uh...
438
00:18:28,292 --> 00:18:30,172
I think, I think this thing
would probably seven
439
00:18:30,333 --> 00:18:32,750
- or 800 gallons a minute, I imagine.
- So that means,
440
00:18:32,875 --> 00:18:34,833
couple three days, we'll
have this thing drained?
441
00:18:34,958 --> 00:18:37,000
Yeah, it'll go
pretty quick, yeah.
442
00:18:37,125 --> 00:18:40,083
Where are we
running the outflow?
443
00:18:40,208 --> 00:18:41,601
This line here, we
have it strung over
444
00:18:41,625 --> 00:18:44,167
on Lot 29. Up in
the middle, there's
445
00:18:44,292 --> 00:18:45,652
quite a rocky
section in the woods.
446
00:18:45,708 --> 00:18:47,292
As you know, we're
pretty protective
447
00:18:47,375 --> 00:18:48,833
- of any runoff, so...
- Yeah.
448
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,792
- Let's get pumping.
- Yeah.
449
00:18:50,875 --> 00:18:53,500
In accordance
with environmental regulations...
450
00:18:53,625 --> 00:18:55,250
Hey, Tim!
451
00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:57,500
Rather than pumping
the brackish water out
452
00:18:57,583 --> 00:19:00,500
of the swamp and
into the nearby ocean,
453
00:19:00,583 --> 00:19:02,625
the Oak Island
team will transfer it all
454
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:05,875
to Lot 29, in the
middle of the island.
455
00:19:06,042 --> 00:19:09,458
Tim got tired of taking pumps
apart and picking sticks out,
456
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:11,667
so he designed
this little float for us.
457
00:19:11,833 --> 00:19:13,375
Yeah. Ingenious idea.
458
00:19:13,542 --> 00:19:15,542
The swamp definitely has a lot
459
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:17,833
of secrets that
it's still hiding.
460
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,375
You know, it almost looks like
461
00:19:19,542 --> 00:19:21,167
someone covered a stone pathway,
462
00:19:21,292 --> 00:19:23,500
and other related features.
463
00:19:23,625 --> 00:19:26,458
I got to say, Tim,
I'm very impressed.
464
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:28,792
- Well done.
- It makes you wonder,
465
00:19:28,917 --> 00:19:30,625
was that done by the depositors?
466
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:33,417
Or was that done
by early searchers?
467
00:19:34,542 --> 00:19:35,917
Cool.
468
00:19:38,042 --> 00:19:40,208
That is a hooked-up pump.
469
00:19:40,333 --> 00:19:41,792
I think we're all ready.
470
00:19:45,083 --> 00:19:47,667
Oh! Here goes.
471
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:49,958
All righty! See you, Bill.
472
00:19:50,042 --> 00:19:52,250
- Yeah.
- See you, guys.
473
00:19:52,375 --> 00:19:53,792
The following day,
474
00:19:53,875 --> 00:19:55,958
while the swamp
continues to drain...
475
00:19:56,042 --> 00:19:58,625
Want tightlining now?
476
00:19:58,750 --> 00:20:00,542
Want to bring them
down some nails?
477
00:20:00,667 --> 00:20:02,601
And while the probe
drilling operation proceeds
478
00:20:02,625 --> 00:20:05,083
in the Garden Shaft
at the Money Pit...
479
00:20:05,208 --> 00:20:07,000
Okay, Billy.
480
00:20:07,125 --> 00:20:08,833
- It's up you.
- Okay.
481
00:20:08,917 --> 00:20:10,083
Billy Gerhardt returns
482
00:20:10,208 --> 00:20:11,500
to Lot 13,
483
00:20:11,625 --> 00:20:14,333
along with Rick
Lagina, Tom Nolan
484
00:20:14,458 --> 00:20:16,500
and other members of the team
485
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:19,000
to continue excavating
the great quadrilateral
486
00:20:19,125 --> 00:20:21,750
for additional clues,
as well as signs
487
00:20:21,875 --> 00:20:24,000
of potential valuables.
488
00:20:24,125 --> 00:20:26,500
What say me and
you go behind there
489
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:29,000
- and sort through the spoils?
- Yeah.
490
00:20:29,125 --> 00:20:31,500
Having discovered several
491
00:20:31,625 --> 00:20:33,250
potentially important artifacts
492
00:20:33,375 --> 00:20:35,500
in the northeast
portion of the feature,
493
00:20:35,583 --> 00:20:38,167
the team is now excavating
494
00:20:38,292 --> 00:20:40,500
its southern region.
495
00:20:40,625 --> 00:20:43,125
My hope is that we can
496
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:45,333
somehow figure
out the why of it.
497
00:20:45,458 --> 00:20:47,208
Fred was unable to.
498
00:20:47,375 --> 00:20:49,958
Why build such a structure?
499
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:51,917
It makes no sense.
500
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:54,500
To me, it might be associated
501
00:20:54,625 --> 00:20:58,250
with a... what we call
"original work," because...
502
00:20:58,375 --> 00:21:00,458
I can't believe a farmer
503
00:21:00,542 --> 00:21:03,500
would conduct such an activity.
504
00:21:05,708 --> 00:21:07,333
Nothing.
505
00:21:07,458 --> 00:21:09,375
Keep going, Bill.
506
00:21:12,625 --> 00:21:14,167
You know what's interesting
507
00:21:14,292 --> 00:21:17,208
about this is, I mean,
Fred described it
508
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:19,292
as roughly paving,
509
00:21:19,417 --> 00:21:21,458
and if you look at
the sketch in the book,
510
00:21:21,583 --> 00:21:24,083
they're mostly big
rocks, but he actually
511
00:21:24,208 --> 00:21:26,292
draws little rocks
in between them
512
00:21:26,375 --> 00:21:29,125
as though the top
was meant to be paved.
513
00:21:29,250 --> 00:21:31,000
In fact, I think
even in the book
514
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:33,500
he calls it a paved area.
515
00:21:34,875 --> 00:21:37,667
Well, now there's
paved area in the swamp.
516
00:21:37,833 --> 00:21:39,375
Paved area here.
517
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:41,042
Are they the same?
518
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:42,750
I don't know.
519
00:21:42,875 --> 00:21:45,333
In 2019,
520
00:21:45,458 --> 00:21:48,667
the team was astonished
to uncover a vast area
521
00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:51,458
of paving stones near
the middle of the swamp.
522
00:21:51,583 --> 00:21:52,833
Well, we got the date.
523
00:21:52,917 --> 00:21:55,167
And so we just got
them back yesterday.
524
00:21:55,292 --> 00:21:57,167
But even more incredible
525
00:21:57,292 --> 00:21:59,500
was that Dr. Ian
Spooner was able
526
00:21:59,625 --> 00:22:01,708
to date the feature to as early
527
00:22:01,875 --> 00:22:03,542
as 1200 AD.
528
00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:05,542
Medieval, baby!
529
00:22:06,542 --> 00:22:08,208
Be nice to find
530
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:10,000
- another artifact or two.
- Yeah.
531
00:22:10,125 --> 00:22:13,542
Is it possible
that the great quadrilateral,
532
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:16,500
which Fred Nolan discovered
more than 30 years ago,
533
00:22:16,625 --> 00:22:20,500
could actually date to
the same time period?
534
00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:23,167
If so, could this feature
535
00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:25,542
be more evidence that the origin
536
00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:28,667
of the Oak Island mystery
goes further back in time
537
00:22:28,792 --> 00:22:31,667
than anyone ever
thought possible?
538
00:22:32,750 --> 00:22:34,590
I believe there's
one of the boulders that
539
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:36,625
formed part of the,
part of the structure.
540
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,500
So if it is part
of the structure,
541
00:22:38,583 --> 00:22:40,375
it'd be fun to go over
and look at it and see
542
00:22:40,542 --> 00:22:41,726
- what-what its relationship...
- Yeah.
543
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:43,333
Is to the sediment underneath.
544
00:22:43,417 --> 00:22:44,809
If there's soil
underneath the boulder,
545
00:22:44,833 --> 00:22:46,375
then we know it's
been moved, you know?
546
00:22:46,542 --> 00:22:47,768
I think we should just
come up and go over there
547
00:22:47,792 --> 00:22:49,392
- and take a look at them.
- Yeah.
548
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,880
There's three
rocks in a line at a height
549
00:22:55,917 --> 00:22:57,833
of where we found
the other ones, but...
550
00:22:57,958 --> 00:23:00,000
Does it kind of
parallel the other side?
551
00:23:00,125 --> 00:23:02,667
- Yes. I'd say, yeah.
- So it could be something underneath?
552
00:23:02,833 --> 00:23:05,125
- Could be.
- That'd be interesting.
553
00:23:08,125 --> 00:23:10,000
Yeah, so... like Tom,
554
00:23:10,125 --> 00:23:12,167
you were saying, these
boulders look embedded.
555
00:23:12,333 --> 00:23:13,500
Oh, they are.
556
00:23:13,625 --> 00:23:15,875
They were definitely
557
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,542
placed in a certain type
558
00:23:17,708 --> 00:23:20,125
of order here and you
can see it here, that they're
559
00:23:20,208 --> 00:23:22,417
- stacked pretty tight.
- Right.
560
00:23:22,542 --> 00:23:24,333
Yeah, bottom line
is, if we didn't have
561
00:23:24,458 --> 00:23:27,667
rocks here and rocks
there, or rocks in line,
562
00:23:27,792 --> 00:23:29,542
that's a little
unnatural, right?
563
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:32,208
But I want to see if we have
any organic matter underneath it.
564
00:23:32,375 --> 00:23:33,375
Yeah, so I think
565
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,333
we just need to pluck this.
566
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:37,000
Okey doke.
567
00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:47,542
As we get below the layer of
boulders, which my dad didn't,
568
00:23:47,708 --> 00:23:50,000
it's deepening the mystery.
569
00:23:50,125 --> 00:23:54,500
This site has been
manipulated for a reason.
570
00:23:54,625 --> 00:23:57,917
That's the question,
now, we need to find out.
571
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,167
I'd like to metal detect that.
We might get an Hail Mary find
572
00:24:03,292 --> 00:24:04,917
- out of there.
- That's right.
573
00:24:05,042 --> 00:24:06,917
Yep.
574
00:24:10,042 --> 00:24:13,333
Ooh, bit of pottery
right on the top.
575
00:24:13,458 --> 00:24:15,667
Can't really tell a
lot about it, it's...
576
00:24:15,792 --> 00:24:19,333
it's just a white
glazed shard of pottery.
577
00:24:19,417 --> 00:24:21,792
Right in that last bucket.
578
00:24:24,208 --> 00:24:25,500
Take a look at this, Gary.
579
00:24:25,625 --> 00:24:27,833
What do you got, mate?
580
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Ooh.
581
00:24:29,125 --> 00:24:31,208
Oh, wow that's old.
582
00:24:35,292 --> 00:24:37,167
It looks old.
583
00:24:37,292 --> 00:24:39,000
Yeah, that is an
old piece of glass,
584
00:24:39,167 --> 00:24:40,500
with it being that thin.
585
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:42,667
While searching the spoils
586
00:24:42,833 --> 00:24:45,500
that have been excavated from
a depth of more than ten feet
587
00:24:45,625 --> 00:24:48,250
at the mysterious
great quadrilateral...
588
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:50,000
Check that out, Tom.
589
00:24:50,167 --> 00:24:51,708
That's old. Good eye, Rick.
590
00:24:51,875 --> 00:24:54,333
Rick Lagina has uncovered
591
00:24:54,458 --> 00:24:56,250
a potentially
significant artifact.
592
00:24:56,375 --> 00:24:58,125
That is terribly thin.
593
00:24:58,208 --> 00:25:00,667
Yeah. That's how you
know it's old... when it's thin.
594
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:04,125
That could easily
be 1700s or older.
595
00:25:04,250 --> 00:25:05,500
A piece of glass
596
00:25:05,625 --> 00:25:07,708
potentially dating back earlier
597
00:25:07,875 --> 00:25:11,333
than the 18th century and
found more than ten feet deep
598
00:25:11,458 --> 00:25:13,083
in the great quadrilateral?
599
00:25:13,208 --> 00:25:15,792
That's a crackin'
find, Rick. It really is.
600
00:25:15,875 --> 00:25:18,000
Could that
mean that it was left behind
601
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:21,375
by someone who previously
investigated this feature?
602
00:25:21,542 --> 00:25:25,542
Or was it left by someone
who helped create it?
603
00:25:25,708 --> 00:25:26,851
I think wherever
that little piece
604
00:25:26,875 --> 00:25:28,708
came from was
right at the interface
605
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:31,458
- between the soil and the C horizon.
- Yeah.
606
00:25:31,542 --> 00:25:33,875
The C horizon refers
607
00:25:34,042 --> 00:25:37,250
to the natural layer of
earth below the topsoil,
608
00:25:37,375 --> 00:25:41,417
which may have previously
been disturbed by human activity.
609
00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:43,375
I think,
610
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:45,062
all in here, we're
down into C horizon.
611
00:25:45,167 --> 00:25:48,833
We're probably out of the,
uh... the quadrilateral now.
612
00:25:50,375 --> 00:25:51,375
At this point,
613
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,833
it is Dr. Spooner's opinion
614
00:25:53,917 --> 00:25:55,837
that they have reached
the bottom of the feature.
615
00:25:55,875 --> 00:25:58,000
- We're so far back now.
- Too far?
616
00:25:58,125 --> 00:26:00,833
Yeah, even at its longest
point, it was 32 feet,
617
00:26:00,917 --> 00:26:03,000
going north to south, and...
618
00:26:03,083 --> 00:26:05,167
we'd be well past
that here, so...
619
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:07,833
I think we're out of
the original structure.
620
00:26:07,958 --> 00:26:09,333
Yeah.
621
00:26:09,458 --> 00:26:10,958
It does look like
it's been disturbed.
622
00:26:11,042 --> 00:26:13,167
Yeah. Quite
a bit, right in here.
623
00:26:13,292 --> 00:26:14,958
Well, bottom line is,
624
00:26:15,042 --> 00:26:18,208
we may not uncover anything
more than your father did.
625
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:21,542
I think the most important
thing we've learned
626
00:26:21,708 --> 00:26:24,208
about the quadrilateral to date
627
00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:27,167
is that what Fred wrote about
his observations were correct.
628
00:26:27,333 --> 00:26:30,958
We have proven that there
was a stacked stone feature.
629
00:26:31,083 --> 00:26:32,333
It can only
630
00:26:32,417 --> 00:26:34,333
have been put there
by human beings.
631
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:35,708
To what end?
632
00:26:35,833 --> 00:26:37,750
That's yet to be discovered.
633
00:26:38,708 --> 00:26:40,000
We're absolutely certain
634
00:26:40,167 --> 00:26:41,643
it's been manipulated.
Somebody's dug it.
635
00:26:41,667 --> 00:26:42,667
It's just who
636
00:26:42,792 --> 00:26:44,708
and when they dug.
637
00:26:44,833 --> 00:26:46,875
So, the quadrilateral still
does remain a mystery.
638
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,667
Unfortunately, we
didn't find any treasure.
639
00:26:50,792 --> 00:26:53,958
But I think it had purpose.
640
00:26:54,042 --> 00:26:57,167
Was it used here as
some sort of a marker?
641
00:26:57,292 --> 00:26:58,875
We just don't know.
642
00:26:59,042 --> 00:27:02,833
But it just validates
what my dad discovered
643
00:27:02,958 --> 00:27:05,125
and the work he did here.
644
00:27:05,208 --> 00:27:08,250
I-It's a great
fulfillment in life for me.
645
00:27:09,292 --> 00:27:12,333
Well, we gave it a go,
646
00:27:12,417 --> 00:27:13,833
like your father did, but this
647
00:27:13,958 --> 00:27:16,458
- probably defines the dig.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
648
00:27:16,542 --> 00:27:18,726
- I agree. Yep.
- Let's call it a day.
649
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:20,875
- Sounds good.
- Well done, guys.
650
00:27:25,167 --> 00:27:27,083
The following day...
651
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:34,000
while representatives from
Dumas continue searching
652
00:27:34,083 --> 00:27:37,208
for clues just outside
the Garden Shaft
653
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:41,000
and while the swamp
continues to drain...
654
00:27:42,458 --> 00:27:46,500
So, gentlemen, today's,
uh, another data download day.
655
00:27:46,583 --> 00:27:48,958
But it's about my favorite
place on Oak Island,
656
00:27:49,083 --> 00:27:49,958
the swamp.
657
00:27:50,042 --> 00:27:52,042
Rick and Marty Lagina,
658
00:27:52,167 --> 00:27:54,458
along with members
of the team...
659
00:27:54,583 --> 00:27:56,708
So, Billy, if you can get
Marty and Jeremy up.
660
00:27:56,875 --> 00:27:59,667
Are meeting via video
conference in the war room
661
00:27:59,792 --> 00:28:02,833
with geoscientist Jeremy Church.
662
00:28:02,958 --> 00:28:04,458
- Hey, guys.
- Hi, guys!
663
00:28:04,542 --> 00:28:05,822
- Hey, Marty. Hey, Jeremy.
- Hey!
664
00:28:05,875 --> 00:28:06,750
So, Jeremy,
665
00:28:06,875 --> 00:28:08,155
I hear you've got some analysis,
666
00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:10,792
and I very much
look forward to it.
667
00:28:10,917 --> 00:28:13,333
There's some interesting
stuff that's come out of it.
668
00:28:13,417 --> 00:28:15,625
- Great.
- Hey, I want to say this right now...
669
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:17,958
I've been telling
Rick for years now
670
00:28:18,083 --> 00:28:19,792
we should not
quit on that swamp.
671
00:28:19,875 --> 00:28:20,750
That's-that's-that's the way
672
00:28:20,875 --> 00:28:22,000
I remember it.
673
00:28:22,125 --> 00:28:23,792
That's not the
way I remember it.
674
00:28:23,875 --> 00:28:26,000
Now that we have indeed
675
00:28:26,167 --> 00:28:28,000
the swamp permits,
I had asked Jeremy
676
00:28:28,125 --> 00:28:30,667
to further study the
geophysical data.
677
00:28:30,792 --> 00:28:33,750
And he believes he has some...
678
00:28:33,875 --> 00:28:37,250
some targets, legitimate
targets, in the swamp.
679
00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:39,000
Jeremy, it's over to you.
680
00:28:39,125 --> 00:28:41,167
All right, gentlemen.
681
00:28:41,292 --> 00:28:45,458
Here's the data coverage
of the swamp area.
682
00:28:45,542 --> 00:28:47,625
So, jumping in,
683
00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:49,333
first slice that we're
gonna look at is
684
00:28:49,417 --> 00:28:51,208
real close to the surface.
685
00:28:52,208 --> 00:28:54,833
We have this
"Anomaly SWa" up in...
686
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,083
north part of the swamp.
687
00:28:57,208 --> 00:28:58,750
Hmm.
688
00:28:58,875 --> 00:29:00,795
It was quite interesting
'cause there's something
689
00:29:00,917 --> 00:29:03,208
under the surface when
he was in-in the soft muck
690
00:29:03,375 --> 00:29:06,625
that you can see it in
the... In the acquisition line.
691
00:29:06,708 --> 00:29:08,542
It's not metallic, either.
692
00:29:08,708 --> 00:29:09,750
Hmm. Interesting.
693
00:29:09,875 --> 00:29:10,875
But definitely
694
00:29:10,958 --> 00:29:13,042
a very interesting anomaly.
695
00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:16,500
The potential target
696
00:29:16,625 --> 00:29:19,833
at the base of the
Eye of the Swamp
697
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:23,500
means it probably is some
sort of legitimate target
698
00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:26,250
and we'll have to figure
out a way to investigate it.
699
00:29:26,375 --> 00:29:28,500
I believe there are
answers in that swamp.
700
00:29:28,583 --> 00:29:30,000
Okay. What else do you find?
701
00:29:30,125 --> 00:29:31,167
All right.
702
00:29:31,333 --> 00:29:33,000
About three feet down,
703
00:29:33,125 --> 00:29:34,833
a couple new anomalies in here.
704
00:29:34,958 --> 00:29:38,875
So, uh, I do believe
this is your stone path
705
00:29:39,042 --> 00:29:41,667
going along kind
of the eastern edge,
706
00:29:41,792 --> 00:29:45,958
with potential kind of extension
out into more of the open water.
707
00:29:46,083 --> 00:29:47,917
So, this is a
slightly deeper slice.
708
00:29:48,042 --> 00:29:50,333
Now we're at, like,
just over three feet.
709
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:52,833
And I do believe this
is your paved area
710
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:55,000
that has started
to show up here,
711
00:29:55,125 --> 00:29:58,042
just north of the peninsula.
712
00:29:58,167 --> 00:29:59,958
And this is where
things start getting
713
00:30:00,042 --> 00:30:02,042
a little more
interesting for us.
714
00:30:03,167 --> 00:30:04,833
It all shallows up, of course,
715
00:30:04,958 --> 00:30:06,833
as you get north of
the peninsula here.
716
00:30:06,958 --> 00:30:09,542
So, this is very
bright conductivity.
717
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:12,375
Bright colors like yellows
and-and then getting into reds
718
00:30:12,542 --> 00:30:16,000
represents high
conductivity anomalies, and...
719
00:30:16,167 --> 00:30:19,292
the blues and purples
are lower conductivity.
720
00:30:19,417 --> 00:30:23,083
So, higher chance of
some sort of metallic content.
721
00:30:23,208 --> 00:30:24,708
Oh.
722
00:30:24,875 --> 00:30:28,000
And just on the other
side of the peninsula,
723
00:30:28,167 --> 00:30:31,667
that really bright
anomaly shows up there.
724
00:30:31,833 --> 00:30:33,542
It's quite a major
feature, for sure.
725
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:34,500
Why is it
726
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:36,333
so much darker red there?
727
00:30:36,458 --> 00:30:39,500
The deeper the red, the
higher the conductivity.
728
00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:42,042
So it's very elevated there.
729
00:30:42,208 --> 00:30:45,292
That's the strongest
metallic response
730
00:30:45,375 --> 00:30:47,208
in the swamp area.
731
00:30:48,542 --> 00:30:49,833
All right.
732
00:30:49,958 --> 00:30:51,333
That's great.
733
00:30:55,292 --> 00:30:57,412
That's kind of the
strongest metallic response
734
00:30:57,458 --> 00:30:58,500
in the swamp area.
735
00:30:58,625 --> 00:30:59,625
In the war room,
736
00:30:59,708 --> 00:31:02,500
geoscientist Jeremy Church
737
00:31:02,625 --> 00:31:05,958
has just presented the team
with updated magnetometry data
738
00:31:06,083 --> 00:31:09,667
indicating several metallic
anomalies may lie buried
739
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:14,250
approximately three feet deep
near the 800-year-old paved area
740
00:31:14,375 --> 00:31:17,417
in the northeastern region
of the Oak Island swamp.
741
00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:21,125
And this anomaly does
extend to deeper than...
742
00:31:21,208 --> 00:31:23,958
this three-foot kind
of level that we're at.
743
00:31:24,042 --> 00:31:26,250
It's quite a major
feature, for sure.
744
00:31:28,958 --> 00:31:30,875
In that red zone,
745
00:31:31,042 --> 00:31:34,833
have we ever dug for
"Anomaly SWe," like,
746
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,833
around in that area at all?
747
00:31:36,917 --> 00:31:39,208
You know, not to
his targeted area.
748
00:31:39,375 --> 00:31:41,875
There may be two feet
of water on it right now.
749
00:31:43,958 --> 00:31:45,309
That sounds like a good target,
750
00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:47,417
but it's a tough one to get to.
751
00:31:50,125 --> 00:31:53,458
When Jeremy shows
the high conductivity values
752
00:31:53,542 --> 00:31:54,958
in the swamp,
753
00:31:55,083 --> 00:31:57,875
it's a difficult
location to dig,
754
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,875
because it's too wet
of an environment.
755
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Yes, we were able
to drain the swamp,
756
00:32:03,125 --> 00:32:07,167
but the body of the swamp
proper retains a lot of water.
757
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:09,292
We'll have to wait
and see what it is.
758
00:32:09,417 --> 00:32:12,167
That... what I'm
calling "the paved area"...
759
00:32:12,292 --> 00:32:16,000
Maybe this is another
region to take another look at.
760
00:32:16,083 --> 00:32:18,333
That's at least three feet deep.
761
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,125
So now we have
reason to go back there.
762
00:32:20,250 --> 00:32:22,375
In regards to conductivity
763
00:32:22,542 --> 00:32:24,500
within the paved
area of the swamp,
764
00:32:24,667 --> 00:32:26,667
the first thought on
everyone's mind is,
765
00:32:26,792 --> 00:32:28,292
"This is diggable."
766
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:29,667
At that location,
767
00:32:29,833 --> 00:32:31,313
you could probably
dig 50 feet, maybe.
768
00:32:31,375 --> 00:32:33,167
- Wow. Okay.
- Billy could bring
769
00:32:33,292 --> 00:32:37,000
an excavator in there and
dig it to the proper depth.
770
00:32:37,167 --> 00:32:39,042
I think everyone
wants to know what it is
771
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:41,250
or what it might represent.
772
00:32:41,375 --> 00:32:43,750
Conductivity in the paved area
773
00:32:43,875 --> 00:32:46,417
could have telltale
artifacts on it.
774
00:32:47,375 --> 00:32:50,750
The swamp clearly has mysteries.
775
00:32:50,875 --> 00:32:53,125
I think, Steve, you need to get
776
00:32:53,208 --> 00:32:54,542
all these things on our map
777
00:32:54,667 --> 00:32:56,458
and then it's time to dig.
778
00:32:56,542 --> 00:32:57,708
Yeah. Yeah, that's easy.
779
00:32:57,833 --> 00:32:59,250
So, yeah,
780
00:32:59,375 --> 00:33:00,684
that's what I got
for you right now,
781
00:33:00,708 --> 00:33:01,908
but a bunch more exciting data
782
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,750
comes in daily
and I'm working it,
783
00:33:03,875 --> 00:33:06,000
so stay tuned.
784
00:33:06,125 --> 00:33:07,333
Well, it's all interesting.
785
00:33:07,417 --> 00:33:08,875
We'll have Steve
overlay everything,
786
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,000
as Marty said,
787
00:33:10,042 --> 00:33:12,292
and-and, uh, have a look.
788
00:33:12,417 --> 00:33:14,057
- Yeah.
- That's excellent, I think.
789
00:33:14,083 --> 00:33:15,792
This data's good.
790
00:33:15,875 --> 00:33:18,583
It means the swamp is full of
secrets... that's what it means.
791
00:33:20,250 --> 00:33:21,667
Jeremy, thank you very much.
792
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,500
There's a lot to do.
793
00:33:23,625 --> 00:33:26,000
The only way to do it, as
usual, it's not in this room...
794
00:33:26,125 --> 00:33:27,833
It's out back, as Dan called it.
795
00:33:27,917 --> 00:33:29,292
So, see you, guys.
796
00:33:29,417 --> 00:33:31,125
Till the next time! Thank you!
797
00:33:31,208 --> 00:33:33,333
- Thanks, Jeremy.
- Goodbye. Thank you.
798
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:36,333
After the
meeting in the war room...
799
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:38,792
- Hey, Paul!
- Hey, how's it going?
800
00:33:38,875 --> 00:33:41,083
Craig Tester and Scott Barlow
801
00:33:41,208 --> 00:33:43,667
arrive in the Money Pit area.
802
00:33:43,792 --> 00:33:46,167
Working at a depth of 65 feet
803
00:33:46,292 --> 00:33:47,833
in the Garden Shaft,
804
00:33:47,958 --> 00:33:50,250
the team from Dumas
Contracting Limited
805
00:33:50,375 --> 00:33:53,125
has nearly completed
their probe drilling operation
806
00:33:53,208 --> 00:33:56,625
at the current depth of
the feature's reconstruction.
807
00:33:56,708 --> 00:33:57,750
Where are they at?
808
00:33:57,875 --> 00:34:00,000
So, uh, they got
one hole 15 feet
809
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:01,375
and they hit solid.
810
00:34:02,667 --> 00:34:04,500
15, did you say?
811
00:34:04,625 --> 00:34:06,125
- 15. Yeah.
- Okay.
812
00:34:18,125 --> 00:34:20,125
An impenetrable obstruction
813
00:34:20,250 --> 00:34:24,125
some 15 feet outside
of the Garden Shaft
814
00:34:24,208 --> 00:34:27,292
and at a depth of some 65 feet?
815
00:34:27,375 --> 00:34:31,167
The questions that
arise now are is it natural
816
00:34:31,333 --> 00:34:34,292
or could it be man-made?
817
00:34:34,375 --> 00:34:36,167
There could be a void.
818
00:34:36,292 --> 00:34:38,226
There could be another
shaft right beside this one.
819
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:39,684
Going down.
820
00:34:39,708 --> 00:34:41,833
Down just
below 58 feet, 60 feet.
821
00:34:41,917 --> 00:34:43,292
Good.
822
00:34:44,375 --> 00:34:46,292
It's-it's a bit baffling.
823
00:34:47,958 --> 00:34:50,042
But it doesn't mean
that it can't be significant,
824
00:34:50,208 --> 00:34:51,583
because lots of places
825
00:34:51,708 --> 00:34:53,583
in history where things...
826
00:34:53,708 --> 00:34:55,958
operations like this have
been done by the depositors,
827
00:34:56,042 --> 00:34:57,625
they may dig down
828
00:34:57,708 --> 00:35:00,000
but then tunnel off to the
side in an offset chamber
829
00:35:00,083 --> 00:35:02,167
or-or back up
towards the surface
830
00:35:02,292 --> 00:35:04,708
and that's where their-their
cache of treasure is put.
831
00:35:06,417 --> 00:35:08,377
- There's another augur on there now.
- Yep.
832
00:35:08,417 --> 00:35:09,917
We'll try to drill through it.
833
00:35:10,042 --> 00:35:11,167
Okay.
834
00:35:16,667 --> 00:35:17,667
All right.
835
00:35:17,833 --> 00:35:19,458
We got something going.
836
00:35:24,208 --> 00:35:25,750
They got something there.
837
00:35:28,542 --> 00:35:30,750
Did we hit something, Daniel?
838
00:35:35,708 --> 00:35:37,000
10-4.
839
00:35:37,125 --> 00:35:38,500
Probably a rock or something.
840
00:35:40,625 --> 00:35:43,667
After
completing 12 20-foot boreholes
841
00:35:43,792 --> 00:35:46,792
covering all four walls
of the Garden Shaft,
842
00:35:46,917 --> 00:35:50,125
unfortunately, no signs of
valuables have been found
843
00:35:50,208 --> 00:35:52,292
at the 65-foot level.
844
00:35:52,417 --> 00:35:55,292
However, since the
shaft extends down
845
00:35:55,417 --> 00:35:58,167
to a total depth of 80 feet,
846
00:35:58,292 --> 00:36:00,125
perhaps they simply
need to proceed deeper
847
00:36:00,208 --> 00:36:02,625
in order to locate the
large source of gold
848
00:36:02,708 --> 00:36:05,250
that has been
detected in the area.
849
00:36:05,375 --> 00:36:08,042
What about timing
going forward from here?
850
00:36:08,208 --> 00:36:10,292
How soon until
you're mucking again?
851
00:36:10,417 --> 00:36:12,292
Uh, so, after they're done,
852
00:36:12,417 --> 00:36:13,958
they'll pull the drill out,
853
00:36:14,083 --> 00:36:15,583
if we don't encounter
any problems,
854
00:36:15,708 --> 00:36:18,542
and then we'll work our way
down and then we'll start grabbing.
855
00:36:18,708 --> 00:36:22,250
Once the probe
drill is removed from the structure,
856
00:36:22,375 --> 00:36:24,500
the team from Dumas will prepare
857
00:36:24,667 --> 00:36:27,833
to reconstruct the next
eight-foot level, or set,
858
00:36:27,958 --> 00:36:30,167
- of the Garden Shaft.
- Let's get down
859
00:36:30,333 --> 00:36:31,958
to the interesting depth, right?
860
00:36:32,083 --> 00:36:33,309
I mean, the closer
we get to the bottom,
861
00:36:33,333 --> 00:36:34,958
the more curious it becomes.
862
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:37,184
Hopefully, that's where the
gold signal's coming from,
863
00:36:37,208 --> 00:36:38,458
- but we'll see.
- Yeah.
864
00:36:38,583 --> 00:36:40,167
Thanks, Paul.
865
00:36:40,292 --> 00:36:41,518
- Appreciate it.
- Yeah.
866
00:36:41,542 --> 00:36:44,667
Later that afternoon...
867
00:36:46,583 --> 00:36:48,101
Billy, you ready
to start making a mess?
868
00:36:48,125 --> 00:36:49,333
Well,
869
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:50,958
I hope so. I hope...
870
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:52,542
I hope it's a good mess.
871
00:36:52,667 --> 00:36:54,667
Rick Lagina and Craig Tester,
872
00:36:54,792 --> 00:36:56,625
along with other
members of the team,
873
00:36:56,750 --> 00:36:59,792
arrive at the
triangle-shaped swamp.
874
00:36:59,875 --> 00:37:01,333
This is it?
875
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:03,875
It would be on the eastern edge.
876
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,458
Okay. So, Bill, as usual,
877
00:37:05,542 --> 00:37:07,167
when it comes to
digging, it's up to you.
878
00:37:07,333 --> 00:37:08,750
- Yep.
- So, pull up.
879
00:37:08,875 --> 00:37:09,875
Let's start here.
880
00:37:09,917 --> 00:37:12,083
All right. Great.
881
00:37:12,208 --> 00:37:16,000
Now that nearly
three million gallons of brackish water
882
00:37:16,083 --> 00:37:17,833
have been drained
from the swamp,
883
00:37:17,917 --> 00:37:20,792
the team is eager
to begin investigating
884
00:37:20,875 --> 00:37:24,000
a metallic anomaly that
Jeremy Church identified
885
00:37:24,083 --> 00:37:26,042
in the northeastern region
886
00:37:26,167 --> 00:37:28,833
near the 800-year-old
paved area.
887
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,500
Digging in the
swamp is incredibly difficult.
888
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:33,333
But what is
889
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:34,750
exciting about it
890
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:36,708
is the possibilities
that it presents.
891
00:37:36,875 --> 00:37:38,875
Right
there. Something hard.
892
00:37:39,042 --> 00:37:41,708
There are some interesting
finds yet to be made in the swamp
893
00:37:41,833 --> 00:37:44,000
that may lead to
"X marks the spot."
894
00:37:44,167 --> 00:37:45,351
The bucket going across here
895
00:37:45,375 --> 00:37:46,500
is hitting something solid.
896
00:37:46,667 --> 00:37:48,208
You can hear it all the way.
897
00:37:51,875 --> 00:37:53,393
- is that?
- What is that?
898
00:37:53,417 --> 00:37:55,167
I'm not sure.
899
00:37:55,250 --> 00:37:56,810
While investigating the swamp,
900
00:37:56,875 --> 00:38:00,125
where a believed metallic
anomaly may be buried...
901
00:38:01,375 --> 00:38:02,708
What is that?
902
00:38:02,875 --> 00:38:05,250
The Oak Island
team has just made
903
00:38:05,375 --> 00:38:07,792
a potentially
important discovery.
904
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:11,309
I'm not sure, but
I think there's all rocks
905
00:38:11,333 --> 00:38:13,208
underneath there. But
I think they're coming...
906
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:14,625
They're sloping up.
907
00:38:14,708 --> 00:38:16,125
Really?
908
00:38:16,208 --> 00:38:17,434
You just see the white tops.
909
00:38:17,458 --> 00:38:19,292
Yeah.
That's a lot of cobble.
910
00:38:19,417 --> 00:38:21,083
I am gonna take an elevation.
911
00:38:21,208 --> 00:38:22,333
If I remember correctly,
912
00:38:22,458 --> 00:38:24,167
I believe the paved
area was about a foot
913
00:38:24,333 --> 00:38:25,773
to a foot and a
half below sea level,
914
00:38:25,833 --> 00:38:28,000
but let me get-get
an elevation check.
915
00:38:28,125 --> 00:38:29,667
Okay. Sounds good.
916
00:38:29,833 --> 00:38:32,792
And then just see if
it's coming up at-at all.
917
00:38:34,833 --> 00:38:36,208
Oh.
918
00:38:36,375 --> 00:38:37,934
Yeah, there's a lot
of cobble under here.
919
00:38:37,958 --> 00:38:40,625
It's... I think it's cobble the
whole way up, Steve, yeah.
920
00:38:40,708 --> 00:38:42,750
Yeah.
921
00:38:44,417 --> 00:38:46,337
So, we're a foot and a
half below sea level here.
922
00:38:46,375 --> 00:38:49,333
Do you think it's sloping up?
923
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:51,500
Yeah. It seems
like it's coming up this way.
924
00:38:51,625 --> 00:38:53,833
And maybe even
side to side a little bit.
925
00:38:53,958 --> 00:38:56,167
So we've come up a
couple inches here, Billy.
926
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:57,417
Yeah.
927
00:38:57,542 --> 00:39:00,083
So the grade starts to...
928
00:39:00,208 --> 00:39:01,792
come up. So...
929
00:39:01,917 --> 00:39:03,167
it could be a ramp.
930
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:04,583
Yeah.
931
00:39:06,042 --> 00:39:07,518
The elevations are about
a foot and a half below sea level,
932
00:39:07,542 --> 00:39:09,500
which is very consistent
to the paved area
933
00:39:09,625 --> 00:39:11,500
that we found a few years ago.
934
00:39:11,583 --> 00:39:13,583
Well, that's important,
because if a ramp
935
00:39:13,708 --> 00:39:15,375
is connected to the paved area,
936
00:39:15,542 --> 00:39:17,208
it's gonna start at
the same elevation.
937
00:39:17,375 --> 00:39:20,000
A ramp made of stone?
938
00:39:20,167 --> 00:39:24,083
And possibly connected to
the 800-year-old paved area
939
00:39:24,208 --> 00:39:28,042
that the team
discovered back in 2017?
940
00:39:28,208 --> 00:39:31,833
If so, could it be covering
the metallic anomaly
941
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,500
that has recently been
detected in this area?
942
00:39:36,542 --> 00:39:39,833
Uh, do we want
to go wider or...?
943
00:39:39,958 --> 00:39:41,768
- Any thoughts, Laird?
- I would've thought wider
944
00:39:41,792 --> 00:39:43,667
if you think it's sloping up.
945
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:46,417
Yeah, I was gonna say,
let's continue this way.
946
00:39:46,542 --> 00:39:47,542
That's what I would do.
947
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:48,792
And then if it runs out,
948
00:39:48,875 --> 00:39:50,417
it runs out, which
is a good thing.
949
00:39:50,542 --> 00:39:52,382
We definitely think we're
in a paved area here.
950
00:39:52,542 --> 00:39:54,167
Oh, yeah. No, there's no doubt.
951
00:39:54,333 --> 00:39:56,292
I think we're all thinking
952
00:39:56,375 --> 00:39:57,917
the same thing.
953
00:39:58,042 --> 00:39:59,417
R-A-M-P. A ramp.
954
00:39:59,542 --> 00:40:01,167
An inclined ramp.
955
00:40:01,292 --> 00:40:04,333
We believe there was a construct
956
00:40:04,458 --> 00:40:07,917
that possibly connected the
paved area to the stone path.
957
00:40:08,042 --> 00:40:11,542
And now we have a potential
connection between the two.
958
00:40:11,708 --> 00:40:13,417
Yeah, I'd keep going that way
959
00:40:13,542 --> 00:40:15,167
and-and what...
Uncover it from here...
960
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:16,875
- Yeah.
- And-and if we end up having
961
00:40:17,042 --> 00:40:19,417
- to reposition, we reposition. But...
- Yeah.
962
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:21,018
Yeah. This gives us
a good starting point,
963
00:40:21,042 --> 00:40:22,684
and the ramp is as
important as anything, I think.
964
00:40:22,708 --> 00:40:24,500
So let's start here,
965
00:40:24,625 --> 00:40:26,643
dig it up and see if there
really is a ramp that connects
966
00:40:26,667 --> 00:40:29,583
this paved area to the road.
967
00:40:29,708 --> 00:40:30,417
I agree.
968
00:40:30,542 --> 00:40:32,000
Okay, Bill, keep going.
969
00:40:32,125 --> 00:40:33,167
Okay.
970
00:40:39,458 --> 00:40:41,625
Let's see where this leads.
971
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:48,625
As another memorable
week comes to a close on Oak Island,
972
00:40:48,708 --> 00:40:53,167
Rick, Marty, Craig and their
team are once again confronted
973
00:40:53,333 --> 00:40:55,958
with a daunting realization.
974
00:40:57,042 --> 00:41:00,000
The answers to this
228-year-old mystery
975
00:41:00,167 --> 00:41:01,667
appear to be hidden
976
00:41:01,833 --> 00:41:05,417
in a number of ingeniously
concealed locations.
977
00:41:05,542 --> 00:41:07,792
And while that suggests
978
00:41:07,875 --> 00:41:11,542
that their quest will remain
frustratingly complex,
979
00:41:11,708 --> 00:41:15,583
it could also mean that
following every potential clue
980
00:41:15,708 --> 00:41:18,833
and finishing every arduous dig
981
00:41:18,958 --> 00:41:23,833
will lead to many
profound rewards.
982
00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:30,292
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
983
00:41:30,375 --> 00:41:31,542
Oh, wow.
984
00:41:31,708 --> 00:41:32,768
No matter what
we're into in this area,
985
00:41:32,792 --> 00:41:34,833
whether it's wood
or water or soil,
986
00:41:34,958 --> 00:41:37,042
we're getting gold.
987
00:41:37,167 --> 00:41:39,375
- - Oh!
- What have we got, mate?
988
00:41:39,542 --> 00:41:40,542
That's awesome!
989
00:41:40,625 --> 00:41:43,042
This comes from Sardinia.
990
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:44,375
Off the coast of Italy.
991
00:41:44,542 --> 00:41:46,042
- Whoa.
- It's the trail
992
00:41:46,167 --> 00:41:47,768
- of the Templars.
- This thing could have
993
00:41:47,792 --> 00:41:49,500
a worldwide impact.
994
00:41:49,625 --> 00:41:51,458
- Oh, definitely. It's a game changer.
- Yeah.
995
00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:53,917
The source of an
astonishing revelation.
996
