1
00:00:00,804 --> 00:00:03,167
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:04,333
What is this?
3
00:00:04,542 --> 00:00:06,167
- Look at that.
- My God.
4
00:00:06,292 --> 00:00:08,125
That looks like the
handle of something.
5
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:10,333
We suspect that
it's from the 1700s.
6
00:00:10,542 --> 00:00:11,833
Even earlier.
7
00:00:12,042 --> 00:00:13,458
- Really?
- Absolutely.
8
00:00:13,667 --> 00:00:16,000
We have an
opening into this cavern.
9
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:19,333
- Yeah. It looks man-made.
- It's amazing.
10
00:00:19,542 --> 00:00:20,542
Okay. Going in.
11
00:00:20,667 --> 00:00:22,125
We're all eager to see
12
00:00:22,292 --> 00:00:23,708
- Aladdin's cave.
- Stop!
13
00:00:23,875 --> 00:00:25,087
- What is that?
- Wow.
14
00:00:25,167 --> 00:00:26,542
This is different.
15
00:00:26,708 --> 00:00:28,548
This is way different
than anything we've seen.
16
00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,417
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
17
00:00:34,542 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
18
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:41,000
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
19
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,042
So far, they have
found a stone slab
20
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,250
with strange symbols
carved into it...
21
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:50,417
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
22
00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
23
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:56,125
to the Knights Templar.
24
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,000
To date, six men have died
25
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,833
trying to solve the mystery.
26
00:01:01,958 --> 00:01:07,000
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
27
00:01:07,208 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.
28
00:01:21,208 --> 00:01:22,292
Hey, Steve. Alex.
29
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:23,792
Everything's set
operating, Paul?
30
00:01:23,958 --> 00:01:25,295
Yep. We just need
to attach the camera
31
00:01:25,375 --> 00:01:27,375
and then we should
be good to go.
32
00:01:27,542 --> 00:01:30,167
A new day of
fresh excitement and anticipation
33
00:01:30,375 --> 00:01:32,417
has begun on Oak Island
34
00:01:32,583 --> 00:01:35,500
for brothers Rick and
Marty Lagina and their team.
35
00:01:35,708 --> 00:01:37,378
So I guess we're gonna
get a look down the hole?
36
00:01:37,458 --> 00:01:38,458
Yes, we are.
37
00:01:38,625 --> 00:01:40,833
We'll see what the
camera has to say.
38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,875
They, along with
underwater imaging expert Blaine Carr,
39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,500
are about to begin
40
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:49,792
a two-step operation
in the Money Pit area
41
00:01:49,875 --> 00:01:51,792
that they hope will reveal
42
00:01:51,958 --> 00:01:53,333
the answers that
could help solve
43
00:01:53,542 --> 00:01:56,167
a 228-year-old treasure mystery.
44
00:01:56,375 --> 00:02:00,125
So we're gonna enter the
cave today at 140 to 142 feet.
45
00:02:00,292 --> 00:02:02,292
Aladdin's cave, as
you deemed it last year.
46
00:02:02,375 --> 00:02:03,833
So, what do we hope to see
47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,792
once we get to the
bottom of the hole?
48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,625
Treasure chests, doubloons.
49
00:02:06,833 --> 00:02:09,167
We want to know
whether this cave is natural
50
00:02:09,292 --> 00:02:11,833
or whether it's been
influenced by people.
51
00:02:12,042 --> 00:02:13,208
Secondarily to that,
52
00:02:13,375 --> 00:02:15,708
we'd like to see a
way in and a way out.
53
00:02:17,375 --> 00:02:19,292
The primary targets
54
00:02:19,458 --> 00:02:21,500
we were looking for
were tunnels, vaults,
55
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:23,958
and of course, any
high-density anomalies
56
00:02:24,125 --> 00:02:25,375
that could reflect treasure.
57
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:28,042
One week ago,
58
00:02:28,208 --> 00:02:30,542
representatives from
Ideon Technologies
59
00:02:30,708 --> 00:02:34,167
presented a stunning report
on data that had been collected
60
00:02:34,375 --> 00:02:37,083
deep underground
over the past two years
61
00:02:37,292 --> 00:02:39,167
all across the Money Pit area.
62
00:02:39,375 --> 00:02:41,500
Today what we're gonna
be discussing are results
63
00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:43,708
from the Money Pit
targets of interest.
64
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:47,000
Five devices
known as Muon detectors
65
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:50,000
had been placed
at various depths
66
00:02:50,167 --> 00:02:52,000
in previously drilled boreholes
67
00:02:52,125 --> 00:02:56,458
to scan for possible voids,
tunnels and large objects.
68
00:02:56,667 --> 00:02:59,417
Incredibly, a number
of potential targets
69
00:02:59,542 --> 00:03:02,333
were identified suggesting
that there could be
70
00:03:02,542 --> 00:03:06,125
multiple treasure deposits
buried in the Money Pit area.
71
00:03:07,167 --> 00:03:12,625
Two were located at depths
of 65 and 115 feet respectively,
72
00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:16,542
near the 82-foot-deep
mid-18th century Garden Shaft,
73
00:03:16,667 --> 00:03:19,625
which the team is
currently refurbishing
74
00:03:19,792 --> 00:03:22,667
and deepening for
extensive investigations
75
00:03:22,833 --> 00:03:26,958
with a company named
Dumas Contracting Ltd.
76
00:03:27,167 --> 00:03:28,667
So, this is quite
interesting for us.
77
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:33,125
This low-density anomaly
perfectly overlaps the void
78
00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:34,958
that you guys call
Aladdin's cave.
79
00:03:35,875 --> 00:03:36,875
However,
80
00:03:37,042 --> 00:03:39,000
another compelling target
81
00:03:39,167 --> 00:03:42,708
was identified several
feet to the southwest
82
00:03:42,875 --> 00:03:44,208
within a deep cavity
83
00:03:44,375 --> 00:03:46,792
that was first
discovered one year ago
84
00:03:46,958 --> 00:03:50,167
that has been affectionately
named Aladdin's cave.
85
00:03:50,375 --> 00:03:52,375
It's not some simple cave.
86
00:03:52,542 --> 00:03:54,083
It kind of extends out.
87
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:56,417
A cavity where water testing
88
00:03:56,583 --> 00:04:00,250
has also detected trace
evidence of silver and gold
89
00:04:00,417 --> 00:04:03,417
some 150 feet underground.
90
00:04:04,458 --> 00:04:05,670
The borehole we're
gonna put the camera down
91
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:07,375
is in borehole L-14,
92
00:04:07,542 --> 00:04:10,375
and L-14 appears
in this cavity or cave
93
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:12,125
on the southern
end as we know it.
94
00:04:12,292 --> 00:04:15,000
So we're pretty keen
on this. Let's have a look.
95
00:04:15,167 --> 00:04:17,125
All right, so I'm gonna
go open the hole
96
00:04:17,292 --> 00:04:18,295
and I'm gonna start lowering.
97
00:04:18,375 --> 00:04:20,333
Okay. Let's go.
98
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,583
Now, after
drilling a new borehole
99
00:04:22,792 --> 00:04:24,333
into Aladdin's cave,
100
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:27,042
the team will
first investigate it
101
00:04:27,208 --> 00:04:29,000
using a high-definition camera
102
00:04:29,167 --> 00:04:31,208
to look for more
definitive evidence
103
00:04:31,375 --> 00:04:34,000
that it may have been
artificially created,
104
00:04:34,167 --> 00:04:36,292
and also what it might contain.
105
00:04:36,458 --> 00:04:38,083
Okay. Lights are on.
106
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,250
- You good?
- You're good.
107
00:04:39,375 --> 00:04:40,542
Just go for it.
108
00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:42,458
If they are successful,
109
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:46,042
Blaine will then conduct a
comprehensive sonar scan
110
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:49,500
to create a detailed
map of the feature.
111
00:04:49,625 --> 00:04:51,625
Okay, so, we can see the water.
112
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:53,628
I mean, we're gonna
run the camera down first.
113
00:04:53,708 --> 00:04:58,500
Why not put eyes on that void
and see if we see anything?
114
00:04:58,708 --> 00:05:01,000
Because if we happen to
see a feature down there
115
00:05:01,167 --> 00:05:03,458
that we can orient
off with the camera,
116
00:05:03,583 --> 00:05:05,667
it will be helpful to
the 3D mapping sonar.
117
00:05:05,875 --> 00:05:07,958
We should almost be to
the water by the look of it.
118
00:05:08,083 --> 00:05:09,167
Okay.
119
00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:11,500
- Now you're right there.
- There.
120
00:05:11,708 --> 00:05:13,833
So, hopefully,
this photographic imagery
121
00:05:14,042 --> 00:05:16,333
will help us come to a
greater understanding
122
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:19,333
of what this cave represents.
123
00:05:19,542 --> 00:05:22,000
We're still seeing
the side of the casing
124
00:05:22,167 --> 00:05:23,208
as it's going down.
125
00:05:23,375 --> 00:05:25,125
Where are we at?
126
00:05:25,333 --> 00:05:28,292
Right there, stop.
We're right into it now.
127
00:05:28,458 --> 00:05:30,500
- Yep.
- There.
128
00:05:30,667 --> 00:05:32,295
- Right there.
- That's the edge of the casing, I think.
129
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:33,542
Okay. Rotate around.
130
00:05:37,583 --> 00:05:39,833
Yeah. Those
are the teeth, right there.
131
00:05:41,542 --> 00:05:43,128
You want him
to lower it another foot?
132
00:05:43,208 --> 00:05:45,542
Yeah. Can you go down
another six inches to a foot?
133
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:50,375
There we go. A
little bit more...
134
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:52,917
and... stop there.
135
00:05:53,917 --> 00:05:56,417
So this would be
the actual cavity here.
136
00:05:56,583 --> 00:05:58,000
Got to be a couple
feet in by now.
137
00:05:58,167 --> 00:05:59,625
Yep.
138
00:05:59,792 --> 00:06:01,462
Well, there's the wall.
Isn't that the ledge?
139
00:06:01,542 --> 00:06:03,708
- Yeah.
- It is a ledge.
140
00:06:03,875 --> 00:06:07,000
As we break into the
cavity, we can start to see
141
00:06:07,208 --> 00:06:09,542
the walls, the
sides of this cave.
142
00:06:09,667 --> 00:06:11,500
So I would think there's
something else there,
143
00:06:11,708 --> 00:06:14,333
but that something else
could be covered by silt
144
00:06:14,417 --> 00:06:16,000
and might not be obvious.
145
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:18,167
I want to get under that ledge.
146
00:06:18,333 --> 00:06:20,053
Okay, Steve, can you
really slowly lower it,
147
00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:22,083
like, three inches.
148
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:25,000
There you go.
149
00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:27,792
It looks like it's open.
150
00:06:27,958 --> 00:06:29,458
- To me.
- Yeah.
151
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:31,250
Now you have a
much bigger opening.
152
00:06:31,417 --> 00:06:32,958
That's good that it's open,
153
00:06:33,125 --> 00:06:36,083
- because that means we can map it.
- Yeah.
154
00:06:38,542 --> 00:06:40,667
The expansiveness
of Aladdin's cave,
155
00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:42,875
it's quite interesting,
very exciting.
156
00:06:43,042 --> 00:06:45,583
We see some features.
157
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:49,333
It's certainly very plausible
that the camera is not seeing
158
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,750
something which may
be on the floor of the cave.
159
00:06:51,917 --> 00:06:53,795
- Do you want to lower it down even more?
- Yes. Yes.
160
00:06:53,875 --> 00:06:55,670
- Yeah.
- We'll see what you can see on the bottom.
161
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:57,170
We need to see
exactly where the bottom is,
162
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:58,250
without any doubt.
163
00:06:59,625 --> 00:07:00,917
Go.
164
00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:03,583
I think we're facing down now.
165
00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:06,083
So, Steve, just very slowly,
another six inches or so.
166
00:07:06,208 --> 00:07:07,875
- Six?
- Yep.
167
00:07:09,875 --> 00:07:11,125
That's good.
168
00:07:11,208 --> 00:07:12,917
Little bit more.
Same again, please.
169
00:07:14,875 --> 00:07:16,292
There. Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
170
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:17,667
Hold up.
171
00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:20,917
Spin around 360.
172
00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:25,667
- There. What's that?
- What's that?
173
00:07:25,875 --> 00:07:27,750
I can't tell if that's...
174
00:07:27,917 --> 00:07:29,503
- the bottom or...
- I'll wait for it to settle out.
175
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:32,250
There we go.
There's something.
176
00:07:32,375 --> 00:07:35,167
Visibility is actually
better than we've seen.
177
00:07:35,375 --> 00:07:37,292
What's this over
here on the right?
178
00:07:37,458 --> 00:07:38,833
Something sticking out.
179
00:07:40,250 --> 00:07:41,125
Right there.
180
00:07:41,292 --> 00:07:43,250
This piece, right in here?
181
00:07:43,375 --> 00:07:45,667
The way the shape
is is kind of angular.
182
00:07:45,875 --> 00:07:47,587
- That flat thing, you mean?
- Yeah.
183
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,542
That's a piece of
debris or something.
184
00:07:50,625 --> 00:07:53,333
This is a very exciting
thing and it's important
185
00:07:53,542 --> 00:07:55,542
to see whether it's
man-made or not.
186
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:57,167
I think there's a chance
187
00:07:57,375 --> 00:07:59,458
the treasure might
be placed there,
188
00:07:59,625 --> 00:08:01,792
which would answer
a lot of questions.
189
00:08:02,833 --> 00:08:04,420
I mean, we're not gonna see
anything more here, are we?
190
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:05,667
I don't think so.
191
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:07,667
I think that's all
we're gonna see.
192
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:10,000
Slowly come out of
the hole now, Steve.
193
00:08:10,208 --> 00:08:11,542
Yes, sir.
194
00:08:11,708 --> 00:08:12,708
Bottom line is
195
00:08:12,875 --> 00:08:14,667
this is open enough to map it.
196
00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:17,583
- And that's what's good.
- Yep.
197
00:08:17,708 --> 00:08:19,795
We should be able to find
out if there's anything else
198
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:21,503
other than just being
a cavity with the sonar.
199
00:08:21,583 --> 00:08:24,250
So, whether there is a
tunnel or some other feature.
200
00:08:24,417 --> 00:08:25,795
Then let's get going
with the sonar, right?
201
00:08:25,875 --> 00:08:27,378
I mean, we've seen
what we need to see here.
202
00:08:27,458 --> 00:08:29,333
Okay. We're gonna
get a scan of that cavity.
203
00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:31,000
- Perfect. Let's go.
- Okay.
204
00:08:31,083 --> 00:08:33,000
- Let's do this.
- Sounds good.
205
00:08:34,083 --> 00:08:36,750
While members
of the team make preparations
206
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:39,750
for the sonar operation
in Aladdin's cave...
207
00:08:40,792 --> 00:08:41,625
- Hello.
- Hello.
208
00:08:41,792 --> 00:08:42,792
Good morning.
209
00:08:42,958 --> 00:08:43,958
Hi, guys.
210
00:08:44,125 --> 00:08:45,458
What do we have today?
211
00:08:45,583 --> 00:08:48,875
Well, I got the
magnetometer analysis back.
212
00:08:49,042 --> 00:08:50,333
Good.
213
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:51,628
Yeah, Saint Mary's University
214
00:08:51,708 --> 00:08:53,083
processed the data for us.
215
00:08:53,292 --> 00:08:54,833
- Yeah.
- Okay. Sounds great.
216
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,837
Rick Lagina
and his business partner
217
00:08:56,917 --> 00:08:58,667
Craig Tester
218
00:08:58,833 --> 00:09:00,583
join archaeologists Laird Niven
219
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:02,250
and Jamie Kouba
220
00:09:02,417 --> 00:09:04,250
in the Interpretive Centre.
221
00:09:04,417 --> 00:09:05,583
Surprises?
222
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:06,792
Yes, there are surprises.
223
00:09:06,958 --> 00:09:08,542
Great.
224
00:09:08,708 --> 00:09:10,170
They are about to see a report
225
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,333
regarding an extensive
magnetometry survey
226
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,000
that was recently conducted
227
00:09:15,125 --> 00:09:17,333
around a mysterious
circular stone feature
228
00:09:17,542 --> 00:09:19,083
on Lot 5,
229
00:09:19,208 --> 00:09:23,500
located on the western
side of Oak Island...
230
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:25,875
A feature which may
have been created
231
00:09:26,042 --> 00:09:28,083
more than a century
before the discovery
232
00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:31,667
of the Money Pit in 1795
233
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:34,125
and which is also
located in the area
234
00:09:34,333 --> 00:09:35,917
where the team has not only
235
00:09:36,125 --> 00:09:39,083
unearthed a 14th-century
lead barter token,
236
00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:41,708
which may be related
to the lead cross
237
00:09:41,875 --> 00:09:45,292
discovered at
Smith's Cove in 2017,
238
00:09:45,458 --> 00:09:48,333
but also four Roman coins
239
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:52,542
dating back as
much as 2,000 years.
240
00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:55,667
What we are hoping
to see are walls.
241
00:09:55,833 --> 00:09:57,167
Stone features.
242
00:09:57,333 --> 00:09:58,708
- Yeah.
- Even voids.
243
00:09:58,875 --> 00:10:00,917
Okay.
244
00:10:01,042 --> 00:10:03,833
Now, after
having the survey data processed
245
00:10:04,042 --> 00:10:06,667
by experts from the
anthropology department
246
00:10:06,833 --> 00:10:08,208
at Saint Mary's University
247
00:10:08,417 --> 00:10:10,167
in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
248
00:10:10,375 --> 00:10:14,333
Laird and Jamie are
prepared to share the results.
249
00:10:14,542 --> 00:10:16,542
So this is what it looks like
250
00:10:16,667 --> 00:10:19,583
on the magnetic susceptibility.
251
00:10:19,708 --> 00:10:23,417
This area right through
here is our around feature.
252
00:10:23,542 --> 00:10:26,417
So if we could
turn this on its side,
253
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:29,333
it would look like a
big hole, right? Um...
254
00:10:30,375 --> 00:10:32,337
There's your highlight. That
kind of gives you an idea.
255
00:10:32,417 --> 00:10:35,792
So, around it, we're noticing
256
00:10:35,958 --> 00:10:41,125
some rather large features
that actually suggest
257
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:44,875
that there is a stone
feature underneath it
258
00:10:45,042 --> 00:10:47,792
that is larger than
the round feature.
259
00:10:49,375 --> 00:10:52,833
So our feature is actually
much more substantial.
260
00:10:55,542 --> 00:10:56,750
Wow.
261
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:03,583
We're noticing a
stone feature underneath it.
262
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:06,333
That is larger than
the current feature
263
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:08,000
that we are aware of.
264
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:09,167
Wow.
265
00:11:09,292 --> 00:11:10,750
It's quite large, too.
266
00:11:10,917 --> 00:11:12,792
Yeah.
267
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,337
In the Oak
Island Interpretive Centre,
268
00:11:14,417 --> 00:11:16,833
archaeologist Jamie Kouba
269
00:11:17,042 --> 00:11:19,667
has just presented
the magnetometry data
270
00:11:19,833 --> 00:11:22,542
suggesting that the potentially
271
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:26,833
17th to 18th century
circular depression on Lot 5
272
00:11:27,042 --> 00:11:31,583
appears to have a much
larger feature buried beneath it.
273
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:35,417
So, our feature is actually
much more substantial.
274
00:11:35,583 --> 00:11:37,750
It's a pretty good
size structure.
275
00:11:38,708 --> 00:11:40,000
It's kind of odd.
276
00:11:40,167 --> 00:11:42,667
So I'd really like
to explore that, too.
277
00:11:42,875 --> 00:11:44,167
Yeah. It's-it's exciting.
278
00:11:44,375 --> 00:11:45,250
Great.
279
00:11:45,417 --> 00:11:46,667
When I look at it,
280
00:11:46,833 --> 00:11:48,833
to me, it's quite
daunting because
281
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:50,875
we're still engaged
in trying to determine
282
00:11:51,042 --> 00:11:53,500
the extent of the
circular feature.
283
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:56,542
But now we have
a large structure,
284
00:11:56,708 --> 00:11:58,667
which continues to puzzle.
285
00:11:58,875 --> 00:12:02,000
So I think there's a lot of
work that needs to be done
286
00:12:02,167 --> 00:12:05,667
before we can associate
these various structures.
287
00:12:05,875 --> 00:12:07,708
What does that tell you
288
00:12:07,875 --> 00:12:10,167
in terms of why
this one is here?
289
00:12:10,333 --> 00:12:13,083
To me, it suggests that
this wasn't somebody
290
00:12:13,208 --> 00:12:14,792
who was staying
there for a week or two.
291
00:12:14,958 --> 00:12:16,458
They built a structure.
292
00:12:16,625 --> 00:12:18,667
- They lived there.
- Yeah.
293
00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:20,125
That could be separate.
294
00:12:20,333 --> 00:12:21,750
Yes.
295
00:12:21,917 --> 00:12:22,962
Those may be completely
different time periods.
296
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:24,375
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
297
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:26,253
Obviously, until we dig,
we don't know what it is.
298
00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:27,792
- Yeah.
- I agree.
299
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,708
I hope we can find some way
300
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:33,875
to identify a time period
for when whatever that is
301
00:12:34,042 --> 00:12:35,042
- was put in.
- Yeah.
302
00:12:35,167 --> 00:12:36,833
I think that is the key to us
303
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,083
finally solving the mystery,
304
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:41,833
I feel.
305
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,792
I'm dying to answer the question
of "who were these people?"
306
00:12:45,958 --> 00:12:47,712
Yeah, we're dying to
answer the who, what, when,
307
00:12:47,792 --> 00:12:49,587
where, why, and how
on the whole island, right?
308
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,208
- Right.
- Yes.
309
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:52,962
That's what we
wanted to do from day one.
310
00:12:53,042 --> 00:12:55,333
Slowly but surely, I think
we're making progress.
311
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:59,750
The belief that this was
a multi-generational effort
312
00:12:59,875 --> 00:13:02,875
on the part of people...
Sure, that's all possible.
313
00:13:03,042 --> 00:13:05,458
Hopefully, there will
be a find that explains
314
00:13:05,542 --> 00:13:08,958
the possible relevance of
Lot 5 to the original work.
315
00:13:09,167 --> 00:13:13,292
There is a very unique story
and maybe multiple stories
316
00:13:13,458 --> 00:13:14,667
now on the island.
317
00:13:14,875 --> 00:13:17,000
- Yeah.
- And sometimes I think,
318
00:13:17,208 --> 00:13:18,792
"Wow, how can...
319
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,375
how can it be so rich, so
interesting, so compelling?"
320
00:13:22,542 --> 00:13:24,042
Yeah, absolutely.
321
00:13:24,208 --> 00:13:27,000
This is definitely
telling a story.
322
00:13:27,125 --> 00:13:28,833
- Yeah.
- It's a testament
323
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:32,750
to all of our beliefs that
something is uniquely here,
324
00:13:32,875 --> 00:13:34,500
meaning story or
treasure or both.
325
00:13:34,667 --> 00:13:36,208
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
326
00:13:36,417 --> 00:13:38,792
Maybe we're on the cusp
of getting some real answers.
327
00:13:38,958 --> 00:13:40,278
- I hope so.
- That would be nice.
328
00:13:41,208 --> 00:13:42,670
- Okay. Appreciate it.
- Let's go, Craig.
329
00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:43,962
- Talk to you guys later.
- See you guys soon.
330
00:13:44,042 --> 00:13:45,500
Thank you.
331
00:13:48,042 --> 00:13:50,250
The following morning...
332
00:13:51,583 --> 00:13:52,625
Hey, Paul.
333
00:13:52,792 --> 00:13:53,958
Hey, Charles. How's it going?
334
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:55,295
- Good. How are you?
- All right.
335
00:13:55,375 --> 00:13:56,503
While the team awaits
336
00:13:56,583 --> 00:13:58,292
the return of Blaine Carr
337
00:13:58,458 --> 00:13:59,833
to conduct the sonar scan
338
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,708
of Aladdin's cave,
339
00:14:01,917 --> 00:14:04,500
Charles Barkhouse
arrives in the Money Pit area
340
00:14:04,708 --> 00:14:09,000
for an update on the operation
to deepen the Garden Shaft.
341
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,583
We're assembling the shoe.
342
00:14:11,708 --> 00:14:13,292
Okay.
343
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:16,333
So this will be to protect
ourselves from the soil itself.
344
00:14:16,542 --> 00:14:17,542
Okay.
345
00:14:17,667 --> 00:14:19,000
So, you just dig underneath this
346
00:14:19,208 --> 00:14:20,583
and then put another section in?
347
00:14:20,750 --> 00:14:21,417
- Is that how it works?
- Yeah. Yeah.
348
00:14:21,583 --> 00:14:22,667
So this is gonna be
349
00:14:22,875 --> 00:14:24,375
one section of the shoe.
350
00:14:24,542 --> 00:14:26,503
We got five of these piled
one on top of the other.
351
00:14:26,583 --> 00:14:28,292
Okay.
352
00:14:28,417 --> 00:14:31,375
After installing
a protective metal frame
353
00:14:31,542 --> 00:14:33,083
known as a shoe
354
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:36,500
at the bottom of the
82-foot-deep Garden Shaft,
355
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:40,208
in the coming weeks,
Dumas will extend the structure
356
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:44,125
down to a total
depth of some 95 feet,
357
00:14:44,292 --> 00:14:47,750
where the team hopes to
breach a seven-foot-high tunnel
358
00:14:47,917 --> 00:14:50,167
they have encountered
in numerous boreholes
359
00:14:50,375 --> 00:14:53,458
leading to an area
known as the Baby Blob.
360
00:14:53,625 --> 00:14:56,542
It is here where water
testing has detected
361
00:14:56,708 --> 00:15:00,667
the highest trace evidence
of gold, silver and other metals
362
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:05,250
between depths
of 80 and 120 feet.
363
00:15:06,333 --> 00:15:09,958
How long is it gonna take you
to actually get this down there?
364
00:15:10,167 --> 00:15:12,000
It's gonna take us
maybe a couple hours
365
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:14,167
once we get everything fitted.
366
00:15:14,375 --> 00:15:16,417
Well, that's-that's
really fantastic.
367
00:15:16,542 --> 00:15:17,750
- Yeah.
- I wish you luck.
368
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:18,962
- Very good.
- I'll be checking in again.
369
00:15:19,042 --> 00:15:19,875
- Take care.
- Very good.
370
00:15:20,042 --> 00:15:20,833
Carry on, Paul.
371
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,333
Yeah. Will do.
372
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:23,900
As the operation continues
373
00:15:24,042 --> 00:15:25,875
in the Garden Shaft...
374
00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:28,708
Hey, everybody.
375
00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:30,625
- Morning.
- Morning!
376
00:15:31,875 --> 00:15:33,708
So, you guys just
got started back
377
00:15:33,875 --> 00:15:35,462
- on this round feature, right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
378
00:15:35,542 --> 00:15:37,875
Jack Begley joins members
379
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,167
of the archeology team on Lot 5,
380
00:15:41,333 --> 00:15:43,212
where they are meticulously
searching for new clues
381
00:15:43,292 --> 00:15:47,375
within the mysterious
circular stone depression.
382
00:15:47,542 --> 00:15:49,000
In the magnetometer data,
383
00:15:49,208 --> 00:15:51,958
it appeared that there's a
larger rectangular feature
384
00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:54,500
underneath the round feature.
385
00:15:54,583 --> 00:15:56,500
And how is that oriented...
Over on this side?
386
00:15:56,708 --> 00:15:57,958
We think that this right here
387
00:15:58,125 --> 00:16:00,333
is the outside
of the wall, so...
388
00:16:01,792 --> 00:16:03,032
It kind of appears that it goes
389
00:16:03,125 --> 00:16:05,167
all the way out
and around, so...
390
00:16:05,375 --> 00:16:07,212
Once we do more work,
we'll be able to see the walls
391
00:16:07,292 --> 00:16:09,250
- more clearly.
- Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
392
00:16:09,417 --> 00:16:11,833
Well, I think I'll
get to screening
393
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,208
and let's figure out
394
00:16:13,375 --> 00:16:14,833
- what's going on here.
- Perfect.
395
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,583
Yay. Thanks.
396
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,208
Take your bucket first, Lindy.
397
00:16:20,417 --> 00:16:22,167
The round feature is covering up
398
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:24,542
something that's a lot
larger than we thought.
399
00:16:24,708 --> 00:16:26,833
And so, we're going to see
400
00:16:27,042 --> 00:16:29,833
if we can uncover
the entire thing.
401
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,500
So, in archeology,
402
00:16:31,625 --> 00:16:33,295
we would love to be able
to just tear something apart
403
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:35,087
with an excavator to
find the answers faster,
404
00:16:35,167 --> 00:16:36,833
but we just can't.
It's very destructive.
405
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,167
So, instead, what we're
gonna do is very careful
406
00:16:39,292 --> 00:16:42,208
and very methodical
excavation of this structure.
407
00:16:42,375 --> 00:16:44,170
There's a couple of
bigger pieces of creamware, Jamie.
408
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:45,833
- Look at those.
- Nice.
409
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,542
Good sizes.
410
00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:49,503
What we're doing
is we're putting test pits
411
00:16:49,583 --> 00:16:51,583
directly over top of the
feature, and, essentially,
412
00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:54,833
we have a delineated
area that we're excavating
413
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,420
and taking it further
and further out,
414
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:57,962
and hopefully, find the
edges of this whole thing
415
00:16:58,042 --> 00:16:59,583
and uncover it.
416
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:00,962
As the archaeologists
417
00:17:01,042 --> 00:17:02,833
dig around the stones,
418
00:17:02,958 --> 00:17:05,167
exposing more of the feature
419
00:17:05,375 --> 00:17:08,667
and hopefully the larger
structure beneath it...
420
00:17:08,833 --> 00:17:10,625
All right, time to get dirty.
421
00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:13,333
Jack will
carefully sift through the spoils
422
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:17,333
in search of artifacts or
clues that may be related
423
00:17:17,458 --> 00:17:20,375
to the 228-year-old mystery.
424
00:17:20,542 --> 00:17:23,167
- Look at that.
- Yes, Jack found those.
425
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:25,833
- Those are good, big pieces, too.
- Yeah.
426
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,292
It's gonna be enough for...
to put a vessel together soon.
427
00:17:28,417 --> 00:17:31,083
Well, the real stuff
that we're looking for is,
428
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:34,167
like, at the bottom of
this feature entirely, right?
429
00:17:34,375 --> 00:17:35,962
And we were
finding different ceramics
430
00:17:36,042 --> 00:17:37,667
when we were down
a little deeper, too.
431
00:17:37,792 --> 00:17:39,833
- Older ceramics.
- Yeah. Yeah.
432
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:43,083
We haven't even
hit pay dirt yet.
433
00:17:44,208 --> 00:17:45,667
There's a lot of work to do
434
00:17:45,792 --> 00:17:47,708
and we really want
to try to find a wall.
435
00:17:47,833 --> 00:17:50,625
Because if there are
walls around this feature,
436
00:17:50,792 --> 00:17:52,667
if they lose artifacts
437
00:17:52,833 --> 00:17:56,333
in the initial construction
of this building,
438
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,125
that can tell us
a beginning date
439
00:17:58,250 --> 00:18:00,500
of when this was
originally built.
440
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:05,542
Give it a good shake.
441
00:18:10,083 --> 00:18:11,083
Wow.
442
00:18:11,167 --> 00:18:12,167
Look at this.
443
00:18:12,375 --> 00:18:14,167
My gosh.
444
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:20,083
Wow. Look at this.
445
00:18:20,208 --> 00:18:21,917
Definitely a square
fastener. Like a nail.
446
00:18:22,083 --> 00:18:24,458
Yeah. Absolutely.
Like, hand-cut.
447
00:18:24,667 --> 00:18:27,208
While
searching the spoils excavated
448
00:18:27,375 --> 00:18:30,958
from the mysterious stone
feature on Lot 5 on Oak Island,
449
00:18:31,042 --> 00:18:34,667
Jack Begley and
archaeologist Jamie Kouba
450
00:18:34,875 --> 00:18:38,292
have just found a
potentially important clue.
451
00:18:38,458 --> 00:18:40,292
Could that be a rose head?
452
00:18:40,458 --> 00:18:41,917
I kind of wonder if maybe...
453
00:18:42,042 --> 00:18:43,958
Because notice how
much bigger the head is
454
00:18:44,167 --> 00:18:46,208
compared to down here, even.
455
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:49,208
- It makes me think it's, like, 1700s.
- Yeah.
456
00:18:51,542 --> 00:18:55,708
I will say, the older the iron,
the more it corrodes outward.
457
00:18:55,917 --> 00:18:57,542
And so I think it's interesting
458
00:18:57,750 --> 00:19:00,625
that there's almost these,
like, bubbles of corrosion.
459
00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:03,708
That kind of tells me
that it could be older.
460
00:19:04,667 --> 00:19:06,375
So-called rose head spikes
461
00:19:06,583 --> 00:19:10,000
are hand-forged iron
fasteners with hammered heads
462
00:19:10,083 --> 00:19:12,958
that resemble the
petals of a flower.
463
00:19:13,125 --> 00:19:14,295
Although they
were generally used
464
00:19:14,375 --> 00:19:16,292
in the construction of buildings
465
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:20,167
and large sailing vessels
as late as the 19th century,
466
00:19:20,375 --> 00:19:23,000
the Oak Island team has found
467
00:19:23,208 --> 00:19:25,583
similar fasteners in
the Money Pit area
468
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:30,042
that have dated back to
as early as the 17th century.
469
00:19:30,208 --> 00:19:32,333
We have to put it
in the CT scanner.
470
00:19:32,542 --> 00:19:35,167
Yeah, I can't
wait to get it analyzed.
471
00:19:35,333 --> 00:19:36,773
It's definitely not
modern, for sure.
472
00:19:36,917 --> 00:19:38,292
Yeah.
473
00:19:38,417 --> 00:19:40,257
- I'll get back to sifting.
- All right.
474
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:42,000
Could Jamie Kouba be correct
475
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:44,500
that this spike may
offer more evidence
476
00:19:44,708 --> 00:19:48,500
that this feature on Lot
5 may have been created
477
00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:52,667
more than a century before
the discovery of the Money Pit?
478
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,420
Okay.
What is this? Is this...
479
00:19:57,500 --> 00:19:59,750
You know what, I think that's...
480
00:19:59,875 --> 00:20:01,542
That's a big chunk of metal.
481
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:02,958
- My God.
- What is it?
482
00:20:03,125 --> 00:20:05,167
That looks like the
handle of something.
483
00:20:06,292 --> 00:20:07,542
Look at that. It's beautiful.
484
00:20:07,708 --> 00:20:09,083
What is that?
485
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:10,792
It's like a tool of some sort.
486
00:20:10,958 --> 00:20:13,167
It's not very heavy.
487
00:20:15,167 --> 00:20:16,583
That is hollow.
488
00:20:17,917 --> 00:20:19,875
And it's, it's really light.
489
00:20:20,042 --> 00:20:21,250
- Yeah.
- You're right.
490
00:20:21,417 --> 00:20:24,000
Why is it
hollow? That is bizarre.
491
00:20:24,167 --> 00:20:25,417
Almost feel like there'd be
492
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:27,265
a piece of wood that'd
be jammed in there.
493
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:30,042
Like at the end of a tool.
494
00:20:30,167 --> 00:20:31,625
- Like a handle.
- My God.
495
00:20:31,792 --> 00:20:34,333
Jack, you're brilliant.
496
00:20:34,542 --> 00:20:36,208
They had a wood handle in it.
497
00:20:37,208 --> 00:20:39,333
A structure
of this size presents
498
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,583
where were the people
499
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:47,125
associated with the original
construct of the Money Pit?
500
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:50,083
Let's figure out
what happened there.
501
00:20:50,292 --> 00:20:52,167
But we've got a
lot of work to do.
502
00:20:52,292 --> 00:20:55,542
Let's see if the rest
of it's down, still, in the dirt.
503
00:20:55,708 --> 00:20:57,068
- I'll get back to sifting.
- Okay.
504
00:20:57,208 --> 00:20:58,667
Good luck finding more.
505
00:20:58,875 --> 00:21:01,208
As Jack and the archaeologists
506
00:21:01,375 --> 00:21:04,000
continue their
investigation on Lot 5...
507
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:06,292
- Hey, Rick, Marty.
- Hey.
508
00:21:06,458 --> 00:21:07,958
- So, how are we doing?
- Good.
509
00:21:08,125 --> 00:21:09,917
Rick and Marty Lagina
510
00:21:10,083 --> 00:21:11,917
join sonar expert Blaine Carr
511
00:21:12,083 --> 00:21:14,000
and other members of the team
512
00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:15,875
in the Money Pit area...
513
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,333
It's your
brand-new, shiny, 3D sonar.
514
00:21:18,542 --> 00:21:20,167
Ooh, baby!
515
00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:23,125
After
obtaining video one day ago
516
00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:25,125
of possible man-made workings
517
00:21:25,333 --> 00:21:27,917
some 150 feet underground
518
00:21:28,125 --> 00:21:31,375
in a large cavern known
as Aladdin's cave...
519
00:21:31,542 --> 00:21:32,792
We can tie a rope to it.
520
00:21:32,917 --> 00:21:34,333
Let's do that.
521
00:21:34,542 --> 00:21:35,167
We'll start putting it
down the hole that way.
522
00:21:35,375 --> 00:21:36,708
Yeah.
523
00:21:36,917 --> 00:21:37,962
They are now scanning it
524
00:21:38,042 --> 00:21:39,500
with a sonar device
525
00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:42,625
in order to determine
its exact dimensions
526
00:21:42,833 --> 00:21:45,375
and to also see if
there are tunnels
527
00:21:45,542 --> 00:21:47,167
leading into the feature.
528
00:21:47,333 --> 00:21:50,000
Okay, Scott. Good.
529
00:21:50,167 --> 00:21:51,708
Okay. Going in.
530
00:21:52,958 --> 00:21:56,667
The Echologger
DASS710 sonar device
531
00:21:56,833 --> 00:21:59,708
emits high-intensity
radar pulses
532
00:21:59,875 --> 00:22:02,917
that reflect off of
objects and barriers,
533
00:22:03,083 --> 00:22:04,708
such as the walls of a cavern,
534
00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:07,875
in order to produce a
three-dimensional map
535
00:22:08,042 --> 00:22:09,833
of the underwater environment.
536
00:22:11,083 --> 00:22:13,458
140 feet down hole, right now.
537
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:15,542
Go on in and let's look at this.
538
00:22:19,333 --> 00:22:21,773
We've got it in a
position where it's getting returns.
539
00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:24,275
- It's starting to spit out data.
- Yeah. I see it. Yeah.
540
00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:25,837
What we're seeing looks like
541
00:22:25,917 --> 00:22:28,333
the outline or
perimeter of the cavity.
542
00:22:28,458 --> 00:22:29,712
How long will it
be before we have
543
00:22:29,792 --> 00:22:31,917
kind of a picture to look at?
544
00:22:32,042 --> 00:22:34,500
I think what we'll do
is we're gonna let it run
545
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:36,667
-and we come back
in the morning, -Okay.
546
00:22:36,875 --> 00:22:38,500
Hopefully everything
will be finished
547
00:22:38,708 --> 00:22:40,708
and we're gonna
see up into this cavity.
548
00:22:40,833 --> 00:22:42,500
All will be revealed.
549
00:22:42,667 --> 00:22:44,500
I can wait till tomorrow
to get good data.
550
00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:46,542
Let's let it do its thing.
551
00:22:46,708 --> 00:22:47,917
Absolutely.
552
00:22:48,083 --> 00:22:49,792
I got dibs on the lamp.
553
00:22:49,958 --> 00:22:51,545
While the
sonar operation continues
554
00:22:51,625 --> 00:22:54,042
in Aladdin's cave
on Oak Island...
555
00:22:55,333 --> 00:22:57,500
Right this way.
556
00:22:57,625 --> 00:22:59,583
- Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.
557
00:23:00,542 --> 00:23:02,208
50 miles northeast
558
00:23:02,375 --> 00:23:04,417
in the city of Dartmouth,
Nova Scotia...
559
00:23:04,583 --> 00:23:06,333
- How are you?
- Not too bad, sir.
560
00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:07,917
- How're you doing today?
- Good.
561
00:23:08,083 --> 00:23:09,833
Archaeologist Laird Niven
562
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,500
and Oak Island
historian Doug Crowell
563
00:23:12,708 --> 00:23:14,542
have arrived at Nova Tactical
564
00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:17,833
to meet with weapons
expert Jeff Parker.
565
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,625
We have something we're
hoping you can enlighten us on.
566
00:23:20,792 --> 00:23:22,250
Absolutely.
567
00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:25,667
This is an artifact
found on Lot 5
568
00:23:25,833 --> 00:23:27,750
on Oak Island.
569
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,833
We suspect that
it's a ramrod guide.
570
00:23:32,875 --> 00:23:35,667
Looking at it, your
suspicions would be correct.
571
00:23:37,458 --> 00:23:40,292
That is an unusual find.
572
00:23:40,375 --> 00:23:43,458
Three weeks
ago, while investigating the spoils
573
00:23:43,542 --> 00:23:46,208
from the mysterious
feature on Lot 5...
574
00:23:46,375 --> 00:23:48,250
It almost looks like a sight.
575
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:49,667
The team unearthed
576
00:23:49,875 --> 00:23:51,708
a potentially
ancient ramrod guide
577
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:54,708
designed for
muzzle-loading firearms.
578
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:57,500
It looks like "VIIII."
579
00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:58,875
Yeah.
580
00:23:59,042 --> 00:24:00,750
The artifact was inscribed
581
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:03,833
with Roman numerals
representing the number nine.
582
00:24:03,958 --> 00:24:07,833
However, rather than the
conventional symbols of IX,
583
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,208
the characters
were denoted by a V
584
00:24:11,375 --> 00:24:12,958
followed by four I's.
585
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:16,875
Curiously, this
is the same style
586
00:24:17,042 --> 00:24:20,167
of Roman numerals that
were discovered on a section
587
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:22,000
of the so-called
U-shaped structure
588
00:24:22,167 --> 00:24:26,458
that the team unearthed
at Smith's Cove in 2018.
589
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:31,417
These were predominantly
used to hold the ramrods in place
590
00:24:31,583 --> 00:24:33,667
on either the
muskets themselves...
591
00:24:33,875 --> 00:24:34,958
Right.
592
00:24:35,042 --> 00:24:36,212
Or even on their
smaller counterparts
593
00:24:36,292 --> 00:24:38,000
on flintlock handguns as well.
594
00:24:38,208 --> 00:24:39,792
- Really?
- Yeah.
595
00:24:39,958 --> 00:24:42,125
Just due its overall
size and length,
596
00:24:42,292 --> 00:24:46,250
I can say that it would be
fixed up to a smaller rifle
597
00:24:46,417 --> 00:24:47,833
or one of the
flintlock handguns.
598
00:24:48,875 --> 00:24:52,167
Which is interesting
because a rifle's expected...
599
00:24:52,292 --> 00:24:53,292
- Yes.
- On an island.
600
00:24:53,375 --> 00:24:54,667
- Yes.
- You know,
601
00:24:54,833 --> 00:24:56,128
for people hunting
and things like that.
602
00:24:56,208 --> 00:24:58,583
- Yep.
- A handgun, I wouldn't think so much.
603
00:24:58,708 --> 00:25:00,750
Yeah. Very, very
interesting find.
604
00:25:00,917 --> 00:25:03,792
Laird and his team in our
lab have been able to identify
605
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,875
some unique markings
on that particular piece.
606
00:25:06,042 --> 00:25:07,833
Yeah. It has
Roman numerals.
607
00:25:08,042 --> 00:25:11,083
VIIII.
608
00:25:11,208 --> 00:25:13,583
That's definitely not something
you would typically find.
609
00:25:13,792 --> 00:25:15,292
Especially on a piece like this.
610
00:25:15,458 --> 00:25:17,542
That is something
that I, quite honestly,
611
00:25:17,708 --> 00:25:19,333
have not seen before.
612
00:25:19,542 --> 00:25:21,708
Is there a first used
613
00:25:21,875 --> 00:25:24,417
and last used for
this type of rifle?
614
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,958
We suspect that
it's from the 1700s.
615
00:25:27,083 --> 00:25:28,500
- Even earlier.
- Yeah.
616
00:25:28,667 --> 00:25:31,583
The period date for
this particular artifact
617
00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:34,542
could date anywhere
from the 16th century
618
00:25:34,708 --> 00:25:37,333
all the way up to
about the late 1700s.
619
00:25:37,458 --> 00:25:39,542
- Really?
- Absolutely.
620
00:25:39,708 --> 00:25:41,625
Wow.
621
00:25:45,542 --> 00:25:47,042
So this would date anywhere
622
00:25:47,208 --> 00:25:48,667
from the 16th century
623
00:25:48,833 --> 00:25:51,292
all the way up to,
like, the late 1700s.
624
00:25:52,458 --> 00:25:54,333
- Really?
- Absolutely.
625
00:25:54,542 --> 00:25:57,333
At Nova Tactical
in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia,
626
00:25:57,500 --> 00:26:02,250
firearms expert Jeff Parker
has just given his assessment
627
00:26:02,375 --> 00:26:06,000
that the ramrod guide that
was recently found on Lot 5
628
00:26:06,167 --> 00:26:08,500
could predate the
discovery of the Money Pit
629
00:26:08,667 --> 00:26:11,000
by as much as two centuries.
630
00:26:11,125 --> 00:26:13,833
During the 1800s, they
moved away from muskets
631
00:26:14,042 --> 00:26:16,250
and then when
Winchester Repeating Arms
632
00:26:16,417 --> 00:26:19,917
developed their repeating
rifle, largely, muskets fell off.
633
00:26:20,125 --> 00:26:21,708
You know what
I'm hearing, Laird...
634
00:26:21,875 --> 00:26:23,292
That this particular piece
635
00:26:23,417 --> 00:26:24,777
would fit into
William Phips' time.
636
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:26,208
Yeah.
637
00:26:26,375 --> 00:26:28,500
Nearly two months ago,
638
00:26:28,667 --> 00:26:31,458
members of the team
unearthed an iron latch
639
00:26:31,625 --> 00:26:33,667
in the mysterious
feature on Lot 5
640
00:26:33,875 --> 00:26:36,917
that was designed
for lifting heavy cargo.
641
00:26:37,083 --> 00:26:40,875
Astonishingly, metallurgical
analysis revealed
642
00:26:41,042 --> 00:26:43,000
that it was a
compositional match
643
00:26:43,125 --> 00:26:46,833
to artifacts known to have
belonged to Sir William Phips,
644
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,500
the 17th century
privateer and politician
645
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:52,000
who is believed by some
646
00:26:52,208 --> 00:26:54,167
to have buried a
vast cache of treasure
647
00:26:54,333 --> 00:26:57,125
on Oak Island in 1687.
648
00:26:58,167 --> 00:27:01,333
Could Doug be correct
that this ramrod guide
649
00:27:01,542 --> 00:27:05,500
could offer further evidence
that this theory is true?
650
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:08,000
Makes you wonder
how that was lost?
651
00:27:08,208 --> 00:27:10,545
We didn't find the other parts
of the gun, but we found this.
652
00:27:10,625 --> 00:27:11,753
- They might still be out there.
- Yeah.
653
00:27:11,833 --> 00:27:13,833
- Yeah.
- We've got some more work to do.
654
00:27:14,042 --> 00:27:16,083
We do. For sure.
655
00:27:16,250 --> 00:27:18,000
Can't thank you
enough for your time, sir.
656
00:27:18,208 --> 00:27:19,462
It has been my pleasure, guys.
Appreciate you guys coming in.
657
00:27:19,542 --> 00:27:20,902
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
658
00:27:21,042 --> 00:27:22,462
- Excellent.
- Take care.
659
00:27:22,542 --> 00:27:24,422
- See you later.
- Take care, guys.
660
00:27:27,292 --> 00:27:29,542
The following morning...
661
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:31,003
Well, the rain has
set back in big brother.
662
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:32,458
Yeah.
663
00:27:32,667 --> 00:27:34,708
At least those guys
are staying nice and dry.
664
00:27:34,875 --> 00:27:36,333
Despite the heavy rains
665
00:27:36,542 --> 00:27:38,833
that are once again
challenging the team's efforts...
666
00:27:39,042 --> 00:27:41,667
Hey. Come
on in. Take a look.
667
00:27:41,833 --> 00:27:44,167
Rick and Marty Lagina arrive
668
00:27:44,375 --> 00:27:46,833
at the Money Pit for an update
669
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,875
on the ongoing sonar
scan being conducted
670
00:27:49,083 --> 00:27:54,125
more than 150 feet
deep in Aladdin's cave.
671
00:27:54,292 --> 00:27:55,753
What's going on,
what am I looking at?
672
00:27:55,833 --> 00:27:58,083
The sonar, as far
as we can determine,
673
00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:00,792
is sitting a foot, maybe
two, off the bottom.
674
00:28:00,958 --> 00:28:02,478
- Right.
- So what we're seeing
675
00:28:02,625 --> 00:28:05,458
is a pretty solid
wall face over here.
676
00:28:05,667 --> 00:28:08,250
Is there any evidence
that this is natural or man-made?
677
00:28:08,417 --> 00:28:10,833
If you had to guess, right now.
678
00:28:11,042 --> 00:28:13,333
Now, the geologist
might look at this and say,
679
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:14,628
"Yeah, that's natural erosion."
680
00:28:14,708 --> 00:28:17,375
But that's a flat face.
681
00:28:17,583 --> 00:28:19,750
And there is a
distinct possibility that
682
00:28:19,917 --> 00:28:22,250
that was carved out.
683
00:28:23,875 --> 00:28:26,667
Well, the obvious
thing is this right here.
684
00:28:26,792 --> 00:28:28,458
Doesn't that look
like an entrance?
685
00:28:30,833 --> 00:28:32,393
It's possible there
is an opening there.
686
00:28:33,375 --> 00:28:34,500
You have a flat face
687
00:28:34,583 --> 00:28:37,458
and something sliding
down underneath.
688
00:28:37,542 --> 00:28:39,625
I can't see where
it's sloping into,
689
00:28:39,792 --> 00:28:41,045
so we're gonna
have to look at this
690
00:28:41,125 --> 00:28:42,750
in the software that Paul has.
691
00:28:42,917 --> 00:28:43,958
Well, that's interesting.
692
00:28:44,125 --> 00:28:46,542
All the other so-called cavities
693
00:28:46,708 --> 00:28:49,500
are filled with, you
know, sand and stuff.
694
00:28:49,708 --> 00:28:50,875
- Yep.
- Yeah.
695
00:28:51,042 --> 00:28:53,542
That's a pretty
smoothed out cavity.
696
00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:55,000
This is different.
697
00:28:55,167 --> 00:28:56,503
This is way different
than anything we've seen.
698
00:28:56,583 --> 00:28:58,875
Yep.
699
00:28:59,917 --> 00:29:01,292
It's imperative that we let
700
00:29:01,417 --> 00:29:03,083
the sonar map the
entirety of the room.
701
00:29:03,292 --> 00:29:06,750
Our interest is define
the extent of the cavity,
702
00:29:06,917 --> 00:29:08,792
see if there's a way in.
703
00:29:08,917 --> 00:29:12,875
So, we have to be patient
and wait for the data.
704
00:29:13,917 --> 00:29:15,045
Every time we
do anything, I'm hoping
705
00:29:15,125 --> 00:29:16,833
for indices of treasure!
706
00:29:17,042 --> 00:29:18,292
That's why we're here.
707
00:29:18,458 --> 00:29:20,333
What we can see indicates
708
00:29:20,542 --> 00:29:22,333
that it's a wide-open cavity,
709
00:29:22,542 --> 00:29:24,342
so I would think there's
something else there.
710
00:29:24,458 --> 00:29:25,833
Okay.
711
00:29:26,042 --> 00:29:27,842
Let's let this gentleman
finish everything up.
712
00:29:28,042 --> 00:29:29,750
Really, I would like you
713
00:29:29,917 --> 00:29:31,167
to kind of put it all together
714
00:29:31,292 --> 00:29:33,500
and then come to us
with results, please,
715
00:29:33,708 --> 00:29:35,167
and recommendations
716
00:29:35,375 --> 00:29:37,295
- once you have a chance to digest it all.
- Yep.
717
00:29:37,875 --> 00:29:39,458
All right. Let's go.
718
00:29:43,417 --> 00:29:45,667
While the
sonar operation continues
719
00:29:45,875 --> 00:29:47,208
in the Money Pit area...
720
00:29:47,417 --> 00:29:48,583
Gentlemen.
721
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:50,792
These are a couple
pieces found on Lot 5.
722
00:29:50,958 --> 00:29:53,500
We're gonna have
Emma bring up the results.
723
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:55,667
Rick, Marty, Craig
724
00:29:55,792 --> 00:29:57,708
and Peter Fornetti
meet with Laird Niven
725
00:29:57,875 --> 00:30:00,417
and archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan
726
00:30:00,542 --> 00:30:02,333
in the Interpretive Centre
727
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,208
to review Emma's
analysis of the two artifacts
728
00:30:05,375 --> 00:30:07,167
found one day ago
729
00:30:07,292 --> 00:30:10,583
in the mysterious
stone feature on Lot 5.
730
00:30:10,792 --> 00:30:12,708
Can you bring up the
indeterminate object?
731
00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:14,750
The indeterminate object.
732
00:30:14,917 --> 00:30:16,917
Do you want the CT or the XRF?
733
00:30:17,042 --> 00:30:18,958
- I think CT first.
- Okay.
734
00:30:19,917 --> 00:30:20,962
Earlier this morning,
735
00:30:21,042 --> 00:30:23,083
Emma processed each artifact
736
00:30:23,208 --> 00:30:26,875
using the SkyScan
1273 CT scanner,
737
00:30:27,042 --> 00:30:30,625
which emits non-destructive
X-ray radiation
738
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:33,000
that can penetrate
built-up corrosion
739
00:30:33,208 --> 00:30:36,208
in order to reveal
finer details.
740
00:30:37,167 --> 00:30:38,792
She also scanned them
741
00:30:38,958 --> 00:30:41,292
using the X-ray
fluorescence spectrometer,
742
00:30:41,458 --> 00:30:45,750
or XRF device, which can
identify the types of metals
743
00:30:45,958 --> 00:30:49,000
that make up each
objects' composition.
744
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,417
This is the CT.
745
00:30:57,625 --> 00:30:59,503
This is interesting because
it was certainly attached
746
00:30:59,583 --> 00:31:01,542
to something.
747
00:31:03,208 --> 00:31:05,958
- Is that a nail or something?
- Is that a real rivet?
748
00:31:06,125 --> 00:31:09,333
Yeah. So,
there's two holes, at least.
749
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:10,878
I see what you're saying now.
750
00:31:10,958 --> 00:31:13,625
This would've been attached.
751
00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:15,625
What does the metallurgy say?
752
00:31:15,708 --> 00:31:18,000
It's pretty pure iron.
753
00:31:18,208 --> 00:31:20,542
There's no modern indicators,
so that's a good thing.
754
00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:21,792
No manganese?
755
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,500
No manganese. Okay.
756
00:31:23,625 --> 00:31:24,958
- So it's old.
- Yeah.
757
00:31:25,125 --> 00:31:27,250
So, in looking at this
compositional lineup,
758
00:31:27,417 --> 00:31:29,045
it does have a high
aluminum to silicon ratio,
759
00:31:29,125 --> 00:31:32,167
which is a consistent
characteristic I've seen
760
00:31:32,375 --> 00:31:36,083
with late 1600s,
1700s English artifacts.
761
00:31:36,208 --> 00:31:38,458
Is it a match for
the Phips' stuff?
762
00:31:38,667 --> 00:31:39,833
Yes.
763
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,333
It is matching William
Phips' artifacts.
764
00:31:44,708 --> 00:31:45,920
There you have it, guys.
765
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,250
Wow. That's exciting.
766
00:31:51,458 --> 00:31:52,920
It is matching
William Phips' artifacts
767
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,333
pretty closely.
768
00:31:55,458 --> 00:31:57,458
In the Oak
Island Interpretive Centre,
769
00:31:57,542 --> 00:32:00,083
archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan
770
00:32:00,250 --> 00:32:02,167
has just informed the team
771
00:32:02,333 --> 00:32:06,167
that an iron tool handle
found one day ago on Lot 5
772
00:32:06,375 --> 00:32:09,667
is a compositional
match to other artifacts
773
00:32:09,875 --> 00:32:13,125
known to have belonged
to the 17th-century politician
774
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:16,500
and privateer Sir William Phips.
775
00:32:16,708 --> 00:32:20,042
When you show that
sort of compositional likeness,
776
00:32:20,167 --> 00:32:23,000
are those two likely related?
777
00:32:23,167 --> 00:32:25,208
Yes, there's a possibility.
778
00:32:25,375 --> 00:32:27,917
That is a unique
characteristic that is
779
00:32:28,083 --> 00:32:29,833
tied to William Phips' artifacts
780
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,250
which is, yes, late 1600s, 1700s
781
00:32:33,417 --> 00:32:37,083
- iron from England.
- Interesting.
782
00:32:37,292 --> 00:32:40,875
You know, there's no denying
that you have some points
783
00:32:41,042 --> 00:32:43,125
of connective tissue
between the Concepcíon
784
00:32:43,292 --> 00:32:44,458
and the salvage of it
785
00:32:44,625 --> 00:32:46,667
by Sir William
Phips and the island.
786
00:32:48,208 --> 00:32:51,000
We know that Phips found
silver on the Concepcíon,
787
00:32:51,167 --> 00:32:53,167
and I believe some
of the treasure
788
00:32:53,333 --> 00:32:55,917
from the Concepcíon
was secreted to Oak Island.
789
00:32:56,042 --> 00:32:57,083
Very interesting.
790
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:59,917
In 2021,
791
00:33:00,083 --> 00:33:02,167
32nd-degree
Freemason Scott Clarke
792
00:33:02,333 --> 00:33:04,500
presented an incredible theory
793
00:33:04,708 --> 00:33:07,125
regarding Sir William
Phips' possible connection
794
00:33:07,292 --> 00:33:09,208
to the Oak Island mystery.
795
00:33:09,375 --> 00:33:14,167
In 1687, Phips
discovered the wreck of
796
00:33:14,375 --> 00:33:17,500
the Spanish treasure galleon
known as the Concepcíon,
797
00:33:17,708 --> 00:33:19,292
which sank in 1641
798
00:33:19,458 --> 00:33:21,792
off the coast of the
Dominican Republic
799
00:33:21,917 --> 00:33:23,792
with more than 100 tons
800
00:33:23,958 --> 00:33:27,000
of silver, gold and jewels.
801
00:33:27,208 --> 00:33:29,583
Following an initial recovery
802
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:32,083
of some 34 tons of silver,
803
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:34,542
Phips, who was knighted
by King James II of England
804
00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:37,167
for his efforts, was
ordered to make
805
00:33:37,333 --> 00:33:39,875
a second salvage
of the wreckage.
806
00:33:40,042 --> 00:33:43,167
In preparation for that mission,
807
00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:46,625
Sir William Phips recruited
Captain Andrew Belcher,
808
00:33:46,792 --> 00:33:48,833
a high-ranking Freemason
809
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,083
who owned property
in Mahone Bay,
810
00:33:51,250 --> 00:33:53,083
where Oak Island is located.
811
00:33:53,250 --> 00:33:56,292
Curiously, after completing
812
00:33:56,417 --> 00:33:58,292
the secondary salvage operation,
813
00:33:58,417 --> 00:34:00,625
Phips and Belcher
returned to England
814
00:34:00,792 --> 00:34:03,458
with only a small
fraction of valuables
815
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:07,250
compared to the original
recovery from the Concepcíon.
816
00:34:07,417 --> 00:34:08,917
I strongly believe
817
00:34:09,083 --> 00:34:10,833
that Belcher and his
comrades were actually
818
00:34:11,042 --> 00:34:12,587
transferring treasure
from the Concepcíon
819
00:34:12,667 --> 00:34:14,542
to the Oak Island area.
820
00:34:14,708 --> 00:34:16,083
Wow.
821
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:17,667
Here's what's interesting,
822
00:34:17,875 --> 00:34:19,292
and really sort
of gratifying about
823
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:22,208
this potential Phips
connection to this island:
824
00:34:22,375 --> 00:34:24,958
We know he was in these waters.
825
00:34:25,125 --> 00:34:27,250
We know he had treasure.
826
00:34:27,417 --> 00:34:29,083
He had motive and opportunity.
827
00:34:29,208 --> 00:34:32,583
It feels like a
realistic theory to me.
828
00:34:33,875 --> 00:34:36,208
It would be interesting to see
what Carmen says about that.
829
00:34:36,417 --> 00:34:38,708
Yeah, show it to Carmen. Yep.
830
00:34:38,875 --> 00:34:40,333
Okay, what's this other one?
831
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:42,292
The other
one's called a fastener.
832
00:34:42,458 --> 00:34:45,667
Again, from the southeast
quadrant of Lot 5,
833
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:47,292
the circular feature.
834
00:34:47,458 --> 00:34:49,083
It almost looks like it has
835
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:51,250
some specialized purpose.
836
00:34:51,417 --> 00:34:54,125
- The CT should show us more.
- Yeah.
837
00:34:56,333 --> 00:34:57,625
This is the fastener.
838
00:34:57,833 --> 00:34:59,673
You've got the flat head,
and there is tapering
839
00:34:59,875 --> 00:35:02,792
on all sides, so it's
definitely hand-forged.
840
00:35:02,958 --> 00:35:04,000
What's the metallurgy?
841
00:35:04,167 --> 00:35:05,708
No modern indicators.
842
00:35:05,875 --> 00:35:08,750
And then I am seeing a
high aluminum silicon content,
843
00:35:08,875 --> 00:35:11,000
which is what I am seeing
844
00:35:11,083 --> 00:35:14,333
in the artifacts
from William Phips.
845
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:16,375
It matches our man Phips again.
846
00:35:16,583 --> 00:35:17,667
Yeah.
847
00:35:17,792 --> 00:35:20,292
You know,
that's recorded history,
848
00:35:20,458 --> 00:35:22,417
that the majority
of the recoverable
849
00:35:22,542 --> 00:35:24,917
precious metals on the
Concepcíon were silver.
850
00:35:25,083 --> 00:35:27,042
Right? And silver went missing.
851
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:30,667
We have high silver in the
water here on the Money Pit.
852
00:35:30,833 --> 00:35:32,417
We're making our way towards
853
00:35:32,542 --> 00:35:34,462
connecting Sir Williams
Phips here on Oak Island,
854
00:35:34,583 --> 00:35:38,250
and these stand
representative of that.
855
00:35:38,375 --> 00:35:40,333
Could the numerous discoveries
856
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:42,417
that the team has made on Lot 5
857
00:35:42,583 --> 00:35:44,333
that have been
scientifically matched
858
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:47,125
to artifacts connected
to Sir William Phips
859
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:50,125
be related to the
high trace evidence
860
00:35:50,292 --> 00:35:52,542
of precious metals
that have been detected
861
00:35:52,708 --> 00:35:56,583
some 100 feet underground
near the Garden Shaft
862
00:35:56,708 --> 00:35:59,958
or explain the recent
muon tomography scans
863
00:36:00,125 --> 00:36:02,542
along with the
indications of valuables
864
00:36:02,708 --> 00:36:06,500
nearly 150 feet deep
in Aladdin's cave?
865
00:36:06,667 --> 00:36:10,042
We know that
Phips was in these waters.
866
00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:13,000
We know that silver or gold
was missing from the Concepcíon.
867
00:36:13,208 --> 00:36:15,375
You know, to me,
it's starting to look like
868
00:36:15,542 --> 00:36:18,458
Lot 5 was some sort of
staging area for something.
869
00:36:18,625 --> 00:36:20,083
Yeah.
870
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:22,292
It's a very curious observation
871
00:36:22,458 --> 00:36:23,833
backed up by science.
872
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,167
Right now, I don't think
873
00:36:26,292 --> 00:36:28,667
any of us around this
table are gonna say
874
00:36:28,875 --> 00:36:31,045
Sir William Phips was not
part of the Oak Island mystery.
875
00:36:31,125 --> 00:36:32,542
But there's a lot
more work to do
876
00:36:32,708 --> 00:36:35,458
- on the Lot 5 feature.
- Yeah, yeah.
877
00:36:35,583 --> 00:36:37,083
Okay, let's get back out there.
878
00:36:37,208 --> 00:36:38,837
I want to find the
damning thing. The proof.
879
00:36:38,917 --> 00:36:40,250
- Yes.
- Let's go.
880
00:36:40,458 --> 00:36:42,128
- Thanks, Laird.
- Thanks, Emma, as always.
881
00:36:42,208 --> 00:36:43,708
Thank you.
882
00:36:45,083 --> 00:36:47,083
The following morning...
883
00:36:47,208 --> 00:36:49,500
- Hey, Rick.
- Hey, Rick.
884
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:52,083
- Hey, everybody.
- All right, today
885
00:36:52,208 --> 00:36:54,462
we get to find out a little bit
more about Aladdin's cave.
886
00:36:54,542 --> 00:36:57,167
Marty
Lagina has gathered the team
887
00:36:57,333 --> 00:36:59,167
in the war room,
888
00:36:59,375 --> 00:37:01,375
with Rick Lagina joining
via video conference,
889
00:37:01,542 --> 00:37:03,958
for a highly anticipated report
890
00:37:04,083 --> 00:37:06,500
from sonar expert Blaine Carr
891
00:37:06,708 --> 00:37:08,667
regarding the mysterious cavern
892
00:37:08,875 --> 00:37:11,208
known as Aladdin's cave.
893
00:37:11,375 --> 00:37:14,417
We're all eager to see
what you've got to show us.
894
00:37:14,542 --> 00:37:16,917
Okay, so, the view that
we're looking at here
895
00:37:17,042 --> 00:37:18,667
is looking straight down.
896
00:37:18,875 --> 00:37:20,375
Okay.
897
00:37:20,583 --> 00:37:22,295
So, we're
gonna try to just slide it up
898
00:37:22,375 --> 00:37:24,875
into a 3D image.
899
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:26,958
So, you can see
the yellow-green.
900
00:37:28,542 --> 00:37:30,500
That's sloping down.
901
00:37:30,625 --> 00:37:32,250
This darker red is the wall
902
00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:34,625
in between us and
the floor of the cavern.
903
00:37:34,708 --> 00:37:36,042
That being said,
904
00:37:36,208 --> 00:37:38,250
we can't see the bottom.
905
00:37:38,417 --> 00:37:41,208
The aspect of the
sonar looking out...
906
00:37:41,375 --> 00:37:42,667
The wall is blocking us
907
00:37:42,875 --> 00:37:44,917
from seeing any further down.
908
00:37:45,042 --> 00:37:46,292
What I can see...
909
00:37:46,375 --> 00:37:47,875
See those blue
lines crossing over
910
00:37:48,042 --> 00:37:49,583
what look like two gaps?
911
00:37:49,792 --> 00:37:51,272
- Yeah.
- It looks like
912
00:37:51,417 --> 00:37:52,587
an opening right through here.
913
00:37:52,667 --> 00:37:54,833
- Really?
- Yeah.
914
00:37:55,042 --> 00:37:56,417
There may indeed be
915
00:37:56,625 --> 00:37:59,708
an entrance and
exit into this cavern.
916
00:38:01,083 --> 00:38:02,292
That is amazing.
917
00:38:06,458 --> 00:38:08,292
So, there may indeed
be an entrance, exit
918
00:38:08,458 --> 00:38:10,042
into this cavern.
919
00:38:10,208 --> 00:38:11,708
So, perhaps
920
00:38:11,875 --> 00:38:14,750
we have an opening
into this cavern.
921
00:38:14,875 --> 00:38:17,500
- Correct.
- Well, this is all real interesting.
922
00:38:17,667 --> 00:38:19,208
In the war room,
923
00:38:19,375 --> 00:38:21,750
underwater imaging
expert Blaine Carr
924
00:38:21,958 --> 00:38:24,708
has just presented
compelling sonar data
925
00:38:24,917 --> 00:38:27,833
revealing a possible
tunnel entrance
926
00:38:27,958 --> 00:38:32,000
some 150 feet deep
in the Money Pit area,
927
00:38:32,167 --> 00:38:34,167
connected to the large cavern
928
00:38:34,375 --> 00:38:36,667
known as Aladdin's cave.
929
00:38:36,833 --> 00:38:40,625
So, I think you
have the potential
930
00:38:40,792 --> 00:38:43,125
for man-made
ingress into a natural
931
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:45,875
- cavern.
- Right.
932
00:38:46,042 --> 00:38:48,500
What's the size of the cavity?
933
00:38:48,667 --> 00:38:49,753
Without being able
to see the bottom,
934
00:38:49,833 --> 00:38:51,208
I just don't know
the right answer,
935
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:52,750
because it's on a slope.
936
00:38:52,917 --> 00:38:55,125
So, it varies.
937
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:56,462
It does slope off
in one direction
938
00:38:56,542 --> 00:38:58,667
about 30 degrees.
939
00:38:58,875 --> 00:39:01,212
Which is why the sonar can't
see to the bottom of that hole.
940
00:39:01,292 --> 00:39:03,292
- Okay.
- I was real interested
941
00:39:03,458 --> 00:39:05,333
in what you might
see on the floor.
942
00:39:05,417 --> 00:39:07,000
Well, because the
floor is sloping away,
943
00:39:07,167 --> 00:39:10,167
it's hard to say what may
or may not have been there.
944
00:39:10,292 --> 00:39:11,292
Yeah, sure.
945
00:39:11,375 --> 00:39:12,833
But if anything was gonna
946
00:39:13,042 --> 00:39:14,337
be there, I mean, gravity's
gonna take everything
947
00:39:14,417 --> 00:39:15,542
to the bottom of that slope.
948
00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:17,390
Right. Something
could be buried in there.
949
00:39:17,542 --> 00:39:19,167
For sure.
950
00:39:19,333 --> 00:39:20,333
Maybe the treasure.
951
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:21,792
I suppose it's quite possible.
952
00:39:21,917 --> 00:39:23,833
I'm pleasantly surprised,
953
00:39:24,042 --> 00:39:25,792
that there might be
954
00:39:25,958 --> 00:39:28,500
a way into the cave.
955
00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:30,167
It'd be even more interesting
956
00:39:30,333 --> 00:39:32,583
if we saw some
man-made feature in there.
957
00:39:32,750 --> 00:39:35,708
Perhaps it's buried
in the silts on the floor.
958
00:39:35,875 --> 00:39:37,833
It's an interesting
thing to investigate.
959
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,833
It's something that
makes you go,"
960
00:39:40,042 --> 00:39:42,417
- we need to see more of this."
- Yeah.
961
00:39:42,583 --> 00:39:43,837
There's some
indication that the cave
962
00:39:43,917 --> 00:39:46,500
has some things that
aren't natural cave-like.
963
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:48,875
It could be some sort
of treasure chamber.
964
00:39:49,042 --> 00:39:51,042
That's why we're
spending all this money
965
00:39:51,208 --> 00:39:52,542
and time investigating it.
966
00:39:52,708 --> 00:39:55,333
And it checks a
lot of the boxes.
967
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:56,878
We can't walk away
968
00:39:56,958 --> 00:39:58,638
from this thing without
knowing what it is.
969
00:39:58,833 --> 00:39:59,875
It's unique.
970
00:40:00,042 --> 00:40:02,750
So, what I would
do at this point,
971
00:40:02,917 --> 00:40:04,753
if we're really interested
in seeing something else,
972
00:40:04,833 --> 00:40:06,833
- Yeah.
- Is we would move over
973
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,167
about five, six feet.
974
00:40:10,375 --> 00:40:11,875
Put another hole down
975
00:40:12,042 --> 00:40:13,500
so the sonar could now see
976
00:40:13,667 --> 00:40:15,458
back into this area and tell us,
977
00:40:15,625 --> 00:40:18,000
are we indeed in
an isolated cavern
978
00:40:18,167 --> 00:40:19,167
or is there an opening?
979
00:40:19,333 --> 00:40:20,208
- Right.
- And see
980
00:40:20,375 --> 00:40:21,917
if this actually carries on.
981
00:40:22,042 --> 00:40:23,167
Yep.
982
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,500
I would dearly love
983
00:40:24,625 --> 00:40:25,417
to put a hole right there,
984
00:40:25,583 --> 00:40:26,917
but I don't know.
985
00:40:27,083 --> 00:40:29,000
Rick, what do you think?
What do you want to do?
986
00:40:29,125 --> 00:40:31,167
I think you have to
put another hole in
987
00:40:31,375 --> 00:40:32,833
to get a different perspective.
988
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,333
Yep.
989
00:40:35,458 --> 00:40:37,295
But you can't walk away.
You have to exploit it
990
00:40:37,375 --> 00:40:39,458
- as much as we can.
- All right.
991
00:40:39,667 --> 00:40:42,125
I think we're all in agreement
992
00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:43,370
as to that particular point.
993
00:40:43,458 --> 00:40:44,750
Let's get some more data.
994
00:40:44,917 --> 00:40:46,237
- Sounds good.
- All right.
995
00:40:46,375 --> 00:40:47,875
Back to it. Let's go.
996
00:40:48,042 --> 00:40:49,333
We're gonna find that treasure.
997
00:40:49,542 --> 00:40:50,792
I agree.
998
00:40:52,042 --> 00:40:54,667
As another
week of compelling discoveries
999
00:40:54,792 --> 00:40:58,583
and potential revelations
comes to a close
1000
00:40:58,750 --> 00:41:02,125
for Rick, Marty and their team,
1001
00:41:02,333 --> 00:41:04,125
they may be closer than ever
1002
00:41:04,292 --> 00:41:08,375
to finally solving a
228-year-old mystery.
1003
00:41:08,542 --> 00:41:10,625
But as the dig continues
1004
00:41:10,792 --> 00:41:12,208
for critical clues,
1005
00:41:12,375 --> 00:41:14,792
what might they find?
1006
00:41:14,958 --> 00:41:17,958
Priceless religious artifacts?
1007
00:41:18,125 --> 00:41:22,042
A vast cache of gold,
silver and jewels?
1008
00:41:23,250 --> 00:41:26,667
Or will they discover
that all of the above
1009
00:41:26,833 --> 00:41:29,083
have been waiting for centuries
1010
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:33,167
to be recovered from deep below?
1011
00:41:35,667 --> 00:41:37,708
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
1012
00:41:37,833 --> 00:41:39,750
All right. Here
we go. Let's do this.
1013
00:41:39,917 --> 00:41:42,417
We're going underground
in the Garden Shaft.
1014
00:41:42,583 --> 00:41:44,292
What in the hell
is going on here?
1015
00:41:44,458 --> 00:41:46,667
It's crazy. We're
encountering a lot of water.
1016
00:41:46,875 --> 00:41:48,337
I don't like the sound of that.
1017
00:41:48,417 --> 00:41:49,583
Look at this.
1018
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:51,000
Wow.
1019
00:41:51,167 --> 00:41:53,042
It's pre-Money Pit discovery.
1020
00:41:53,208 --> 00:41:55,167
This could have been
used in the Money Pit.
1021
00:41:55,292 --> 00:41:56,712
- Going in right now.
- We're gonna run
1022
00:41:56,792 --> 00:41:58,292
a camera in Aladdin's cave.
1023
00:41:58,458 --> 00:42:00,378
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
1024
00:42:00,458 --> 00:42:01,698
My God. Look at that.
1025
00:42:01,833 --> 00:42:03,000
It could be man-made.
1026
00:42:03,125 --> 00:42:06,208
