1
00:00:00,687 --> 00:00:03,167
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,292 --> 00:00:05,042
Ooh! Big chunk.
3
00:00:05,208 --> 00:00:06,833
Check that out.
4
00:00:07,042 --> 00:00:09,833
This might tell us
who built this stone road.
5
00:00:10,042 --> 00:00:12,167
- Right there.
- Yeah.
6
00:00:12,375 --> 00:00:13,667
It's Latin.
7
00:00:13,875 --> 00:00:15,167
These are very old.
8
00:00:15,333 --> 00:00:18,000
They were a precious commodity.
9
00:00:18,167 --> 00:00:19,250
The first hole.
10
00:00:19,458 --> 00:00:20,503
Finally, we're drilling
11
00:00:20,583 --> 00:00:22,000
under the Garden Shaft.
12
00:00:25,042 --> 00:00:26,087
Talk to me. What do you got?
13
00:00:26,167 --> 00:00:27,250
We found it.
14
00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,375
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
16
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:41,000
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,042
So far, they have
found a stone slab
18
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,250
with strange symbols
carved into it...
19
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:50,417
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
20
00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
21
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:56,125
to the Knights Templar.
22
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,000
To date, six men have died
23
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,833
trying to solve the mystery.
24
00:01:01,958 --> 00:01:07,000
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
25
00:01:07,208 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.
26
00:01:24,333 --> 00:01:25,833
Okay, gentlemen.
27
00:01:26,042 --> 00:01:28,042
Money and time are
getting more precious.
28
00:01:28,208 --> 00:01:29,583
- Absolutely.
- Time especially.
29
00:01:29,792 --> 00:01:32,042
As a new
day begins on Oak Island
30
00:01:32,208 --> 00:01:34,333
for brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina
31
00:01:34,542 --> 00:01:36,792
and members of their team...
32
00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:39,667
Mother Nature and
some other things got us
33
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:41,375
in the Garden Shaft.
34
00:01:41,583 --> 00:01:43,958
They have gathered in
the war room to discuss
35
00:01:44,125 --> 00:01:47,375
the most ambitious and
challenging operations
36
00:01:47,542 --> 00:01:50,542
that they are conducting
in the hopes of solving
37
00:01:50,708 --> 00:01:53,583
a 229-year-old mystery.
38
00:01:54,583 --> 00:01:56,875
The excavation
and drilling programs
39
00:01:57,042 --> 00:01:59,625
in the fabled Money Pit area.
40
00:02:00,625 --> 00:02:04,375
After much deliberation,
Rick and I, Craig,
41
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,125
with input from a
lot of you, actually,
42
00:02:07,292 --> 00:02:09,167
we have decided
that we don't feel
43
00:02:09,375 --> 00:02:11,333
we have the requisite targets
44
00:02:11,458 --> 00:02:14,042
for canisters at this
time, for caissons.
45
00:02:14,208 --> 00:02:16,000
So, we're going
to just put it off
46
00:02:16,167 --> 00:02:17,887
until next year, as
far as the canisters go.
47
00:02:19,167 --> 00:02:20,542
We thought there would be
48
00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:23,667
targets out there
that we could say,
49
00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:25,250
"Okay, we need a can here,
50
00:02:25,417 --> 00:02:27,083
we need a can here,
we need a can here."
51
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:29,958
And, unfortunately, we
don't have that at this point.
52
00:02:30,125 --> 00:02:32,167
It's a timing
issue. We can't get
53
00:02:32,292 --> 00:02:35,000
the Garden Shaft done
in the time it would take
54
00:02:35,167 --> 00:02:38,000
for caisson work
on additional targets.
55
00:02:38,125 --> 00:02:40,250
So, we're not going
to put cans down.
56
00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:44,500
Are they pumping right
now? They're pumping it out?
57
00:02:44,667 --> 00:02:46,170
Yeah, that's
what they're doing right now.
58
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:46,833
They're lowering the
pump and we're going to see
59
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:48,750
where the sediment's at.
60
00:02:48,958 --> 00:02:51,375
It was Rick,
Marty and Craig's hope
61
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:56,042
that by now, representatives
from Dumas Contracting Limited
62
00:02:56,208 --> 00:02:58,833
would have been able to
complete the reconstruction
63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,875
and extension of the
mid-18th-century Garden Shaft
64
00:03:03,042 --> 00:03:05,833
down to a target
depth of 95 feet
65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,167
where it is expected to breach
66
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:10,000
a seven-foot-high tunnel.
67
00:03:10,208 --> 00:03:12,792
A tunnel that
leads directly west
68
00:03:12,917 --> 00:03:14,875
into the so-called "Baby Blob,"
69
00:03:15,042 --> 00:03:18,542
where water testing in
previously drilled boreholes
70
00:03:18,667 --> 00:03:21,000
has identified a massive source
71
00:03:21,208 --> 00:03:23,583
of gold, silver and other metals
72
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:28,333
between 80 and
120 feet underground.
73
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,250
This is where our
water starts, right here.
74
00:03:30,417 --> 00:03:32,500
And then it comes
in along the side.
75
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:35,667
However, several weeks ago
76
00:03:35,875 --> 00:03:38,833
after salt water began
flowing into the Garden Shaft
77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,500
at a depth of nearly 67 feet,
78
00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:44,500
Dumas has been
working tirelessly
79
00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:48,500
to seal any leaks and
stabilize the structure.
80
00:03:48,667 --> 00:03:52,167
And now, even though
they are finally able to
81
00:03:52,375 --> 00:03:54,333
continue the efforts to reach
82
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,917
the potential treasure
tunnel below the shaft,
83
00:03:57,042 --> 00:04:00,292
the workspace that Dumas
requires to safely operate
84
00:04:00,458 --> 00:04:04,250
in the Money Pit area
will prevent Rick, Marty,
85
00:04:04,417 --> 00:04:07,417
Craig and the team from
conducting what they hoped
86
00:04:07,542 --> 00:04:10,500
would be a second
major operation this year.
87
00:04:11,542 --> 00:04:14,458
The installation of
several ten-foot-diameter
88
00:04:14,583 --> 00:04:16,667
steel caissons
at other locations
89
00:04:16,875 --> 00:04:18,583
in the Money Pit area,
90
00:04:18,792 --> 00:04:21,833
where evidence of not
only man-made workings,
91
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,708
but also precious metals,
92
00:04:23,875 --> 00:04:26,333
have been recovered
between depths of
93
00:04:26,458 --> 00:04:30,667
150 and 180 feet underground.
94
00:04:30,875 --> 00:04:34,833
So, then what are we going
to do in the Money Pit instead?
95
00:04:34,958 --> 00:04:35,962
Well, to address
everyone's concerns,
96
00:04:36,042 --> 00:04:37,333
what're we going to do?
97
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:39,542
Currently, the
sonic rig is still there.
98
00:04:39,708 --> 00:04:41,667
There's a lot of
unique opportunities left
99
00:04:41,875 --> 00:04:45,750
to come up with
high-value targets.
100
00:04:45,875 --> 00:04:47,833
- Yep.
- Yep.
101
00:04:47,958 --> 00:04:49,458
So, we're gonna get more data.
102
00:04:49,583 --> 00:04:51,542
We will continue
with the vertical drilling
103
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:53,212
with the sonic rig,
which will allow us
104
00:04:53,292 --> 00:04:54,583
to be most efficient when
105
00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:57,417
we finally do mobilize
the oscillator next year.
106
00:04:57,583 --> 00:05:00,375
- Yep.
- And don't forget, guys,
107
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:01,417
the Garden Shaft isn't
finished, there's still
108
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:02,783
a lot of work to do there yet.
109
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:04,417
They're gonna come
down on this tunnel.
110
00:05:04,542 --> 00:05:06,708
When they get close,
we're gonna start drilling.
111
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:09,250
And then, as they
come down through that,
112
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:10,670
we're going to see
how this tunnel lies.
113
00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:12,128
We're going to
see how it was built.
114
00:05:12,208 --> 00:05:13,708
We're going to
see where it goes.
115
00:05:13,875 --> 00:05:15,253
That tunnel is going
in the direction of
116
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:16,628
where our precious
metals are coming from...
117
00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:18,750
- Right.
- Which is very exciting to me.
118
00:05:19,750 --> 00:05:21,667
Dumas suggested they could get
119
00:05:21,792 --> 00:05:24,208
40 feet out. Well, you're
talking an 80-foot diameter.
120
00:05:24,375 --> 00:05:26,292
From an informational
perspective,
121
00:05:26,458 --> 00:05:27,750
it is literally a big dig.
122
00:05:27,875 --> 00:05:29,292
Yep.
123
00:05:29,458 --> 00:05:31,958
As Dumas continues
124
00:05:32,125 --> 00:05:35,708
extending the Garden Shaft
to a total depth of 95 feet,
125
00:05:35,917 --> 00:05:38,792
where they hope to
breach a mysterious tunnel,
126
00:05:38,958 --> 00:05:41,833
in the coming days,
once they have reached
127
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,667
a depth of 90 feet,
128
00:05:43,833 --> 00:05:46,667
they will use a lateral
probe drilling device
129
00:05:46,833 --> 00:05:49,500
capable of reaching
up to 40 feet
130
00:05:49,667 --> 00:05:51,750
outside of the Garden Shaft.
131
00:05:51,917 --> 00:05:53,375
This will allow the team
132
00:05:53,583 --> 00:05:55,625
to not only collect
samples of the tunnel
133
00:05:55,750 --> 00:05:58,833
in order to determine
just who may have built it,
134
00:05:59,042 --> 00:06:00,750
but also, hopefully,
135
00:06:00,917 --> 00:06:03,667
pinpoint the source of
all the precious metals
136
00:06:03,833 --> 00:06:06,417
that have been
detected in the area.
137
00:06:07,375 --> 00:06:09,500
I know that there's
been some setbacks,
138
00:06:09,708 --> 00:06:12,167
but when I look around
the war room table
139
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:13,708
and I look in the
eyes of the guys,
140
00:06:13,875 --> 00:06:16,792
I don't see any
sense of being done.
141
00:06:16,958 --> 00:06:19,458
I see enthusiasm,
142
00:06:19,583 --> 00:06:22,000
I see some really smart people
143
00:06:22,167 --> 00:06:24,042
all focused on a
singular agenda:
144
00:06:24,208 --> 00:06:25,333
Trying to solve the mystery.
145
00:06:25,542 --> 00:06:27,917
So, I know we're
making progress.
146
00:06:28,042 --> 00:06:30,000
You know, there's every
reason to believe that
147
00:06:30,167 --> 00:06:31,833
as we move out in the year,
148
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,167
that we are really gonna
use this opportunity
149
00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:37,500
- and turn it into a positive.
- Yep.
150
00:06:37,708 --> 00:06:40,083
Okay, let's get
back to the things we can do.
151
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:42,375
Yep. Agreed.
152
00:06:43,542 --> 00:06:45,958
Later that afternoon,
153
00:06:46,083 --> 00:06:49,500
as the team from Dumas
Contracting Limited
154
00:06:49,625 --> 00:06:51,917
continues the extension
of the Garden Shaft
155
00:06:52,083 --> 00:06:54,042
in the Money Pit area...
156
00:06:55,375 --> 00:06:57,125
- Artifact time.
- Hope so.
157
00:06:57,292 --> 00:07:00,208
God, I love this place.
158
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:02,333
Rick Lagina and Craig Tester
159
00:07:02,458 --> 00:07:04,750
join metal detection
expert Gary Drayton
160
00:07:04,875 --> 00:07:07,292
and Billy Gerhardt
near the southern edge
161
00:07:07,458 --> 00:07:09,167
of the triangle-shaped swamp.
162
00:07:10,375 --> 00:07:13,875
Got that stone roadway,
we're close to shore.
163
00:07:14,042 --> 00:07:16,167
Imagine how many
people landed on this beach
164
00:07:16,375 --> 00:07:18,667
back in the day, came ashore.
165
00:07:20,042 --> 00:07:21,042
Ooh, look at that.
166
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:22,528
Kind of looks
similar to the rocks
167
00:07:22,625 --> 00:07:24,105
- on the stone roadway.
- Yeah.
168
00:07:24,208 --> 00:07:27,167
One week ago, while excavating
169
00:07:27,292 --> 00:07:29,167
near the massive
cobblestone road
170
00:07:29,375 --> 00:07:31,167
in the southeast
corner of the swamp,
171
00:07:31,375 --> 00:07:33,667
Marty Lagina, Billy and Gary
172
00:07:33,875 --> 00:07:36,625
uncovered yet
another possible section
173
00:07:36,792 --> 00:07:39,042
of the mysterious construct.
174
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:40,833
This is a type of road
175
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,500
that was built in
Europe in the 1500s.
176
00:07:46,042 --> 00:07:47,920
Since the team's
discovery of the stone road
177
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,667
in 2020, experts, such
as historian Terry Deveau,
178
00:07:52,833 --> 00:07:55,958
have speculated that
it could be as much as
179
00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:58,208
500 years old.
180
00:07:58,375 --> 00:08:00,708
The stone path
looks exactly like this.
181
00:08:00,875 --> 00:08:04,042
And incredibly, in 2021,
182
00:08:04,250 --> 00:08:08,333
while visiting Alqueidão
da Serra, Portugal,
183
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,500
a location that
served as a stronghold
184
00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:13,542
for the Portuguese sect
of the Knights Templar
185
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:15,667
from the 12th to
the 16th centuries,
186
00:08:15,833 --> 00:08:18,333
Rick and members of the team
187
00:08:18,542 --> 00:08:21,792
were shown a nearly
identical feature.
188
00:08:22,958 --> 00:08:25,208
The bottom there is different.
189
00:08:25,375 --> 00:08:27,500
Way more rockier
and bigger rocks.
190
00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:29,208
I guess we've got to dig,
191
00:08:29,375 --> 00:08:30,375
- right?
- Yeah.
192
00:08:30,458 --> 00:08:31,498
- Gotta dig.
- Yeah.
193
00:08:43,917 --> 00:08:45,167
Craig?
194
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:46,833
There's a rock here.
195
00:08:48,583 --> 00:08:51,083
And there's one
in the ground here.
196
00:08:51,292 --> 00:08:52,583
And there's one here.
197
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:54,250
And there's one here.
198
00:08:54,375 --> 00:08:55,625
Four in a row?
199
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:57,045
Four or five there,
at least. Yeah.
200
00:08:57,125 --> 00:08:58,500
And it's all very uniform.
201
00:08:58,667 --> 00:09:00,333
Rocks don't end
up in a straight line
202
00:09:00,458 --> 00:09:01,917
- like that normally.
- Yeah.
203
00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:04,125
Hey, Rick.
204
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:09,417
Okay.
205
00:09:09,583 --> 00:09:13,000
As you can see, we
got down deeper here.
206
00:09:13,125 --> 00:09:16,167
We started hitting
rocks everywhere.
207
00:09:16,375 --> 00:09:19,208
So, to me, it almost looks like
208
00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:20,667
it's an extension,
209
00:09:20,875 --> 00:09:23,583
part of the stone
road or work material,
210
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:26,583
but it's definitely
way, way more rocks
211
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:29,125
than there should
naturally be here.
212
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:30,833
I agree with you, Craig.
213
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And you're roughly at the
same elevation as the stone road.
214
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:36,000
Yeah.
215
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:38,125
It's a natural incline
216
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:40,875
from that stone roadway
coming down like a ramp.
217
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:42,333
Yeah.
218
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:45,042
Probably went right
on to the beach.
219
00:09:46,375 --> 00:09:49,208
- Well, it's definitely different.
- Yeah.
220
00:09:52,917 --> 00:09:55,083
It's a natural incline
221
00:09:55,208 --> 00:09:56,625
from that stone roadway
222
00:09:56,792 --> 00:09:58,708
coming down like a ramp.
223
00:09:58,875 --> 00:10:00,875
And elevation-wise,
it just seems to be
224
00:10:01,042 --> 00:10:04,583
a continual slope
coming on down with this.
225
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:07,000
This would be,
definitely, the lowest part.
226
00:10:07,167 --> 00:10:09,833
It probably went
right on to the beach.
227
00:10:11,542 --> 00:10:14,500
Well, it's definitely different.
228
00:10:14,667 --> 00:10:16,042
It's a tough one.
229
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:18,958
- Could be an extension.
- Could be.
230
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:21,708
In the southeast
corner of the Oak Island swamp,
231
00:10:21,875 --> 00:10:24,625
Rick Lagina and
members of the team
232
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:27,625
have just discovered
a possible ramp feature
233
00:10:27,792 --> 00:10:30,583
connected to the stone road.
234
00:10:32,042 --> 00:10:34,667
Well, we're not gonna
pull this out right now.
235
00:10:34,875 --> 00:10:36,792
I think, I think we
want to continue
236
00:10:36,958 --> 00:10:38,587
looking that way because
he hasn't gone deeper there.
237
00:10:38,667 --> 00:10:40,500
That's basically it.
238
00:10:40,667 --> 00:10:43,458
And if it's, you know,
continually going lower,
239
00:10:43,583 --> 00:10:46,000
then it could be right there.
240
00:10:47,125 --> 00:10:49,792
If the team
has actually found a ramp
241
00:10:49,958 --> 00:10:52,958
connecting the stone
road to the shoreline,
242
00:10:53,083 --> 00:10:55,583
could it represent more evidence
243
00:10:55,708 --> 00:10:57,625
that the road...
Or ship's wharf...
244
00:10:57,750 --> 00:11:00,000
Was constructed in order to move
245
00:11:00,208 --> 00:11:02,583
heavy cargo from a
large sailing vessel
246
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:04,625
onto Oak Island?
247
00:11:04,792 --> 00:11:08,167
Craig felt there were
some rocks that one could
248
00:11:08,292 --> 00:11:10,958
suggest that they
were a little, mini-wharf.
249
00:11:11,125 --> 00:11:13,545
- Why don't you go ahead and metal detect this?
- Yeah. Will do.
250
00:11:13,625 --> 00:11:16,833
And it certainly
does look like that.
251
00:11:17,042 --> 00:11:20,750
Could a small boat
pull up to it? Sure.
252
00:11:20,875 --> 00:11:23,500
And my hope is
that as we excavate,
253
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:25,003
we'll come to a
greater understanding
254
00:11:25,083 --> 00:11:26,667
of what the stone represents.
255
00:11:26,875 --> 00:11:28,583
No. No metals in there.
256
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:30,167
Why is it there?
257
00:11:30,375 --> 00:11:32,458
Why was it built? Who built it?
258
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:35,000
We have that construct,
259
00:11:35,167 --> 00:11:37,167
but we have no
explanation for it.
260
00:11:37,375 --> 00:11:38,833
Well, you should dig over here.
261
00:11:39,042 --> 00:11:41,833
And then we can clean
this area up and then...
262
00:11:42,042 --> 00:11:45,500
have a go at looking at
this area in its entirety.
263
00:11:45,625 --> 00:11:47,458
Yeah. I like, I like that idea.
264
00:11:47,625 --> 00:11:50,292
Okay.
265
00:11:50,458 --> 00:11:52,125
Let's get after it.
266
00:11:52,292 --> 00:11:55,375
As the investigation
in the swamp continues...
267
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:59,500
HI-6.75. Here we go.
268
00:11:59,625 --> 00:12:02,042
This is a little bit to
the north and west
269
00:12:02,167 --> 00:12:05,958
- of the actual H-8 caisson.
- Yeah.
270
00:12:06,042 --> 00:12:08,000
- In the Money Pit area...
- 28.
271
00:12:08,125 --> 00:12:09,375
Thank you.
272
00:12:09,542 --> 00:12:11,125
Geologist Terry Matheson
273
00:12:11,292 --> 00:12:13,750
and Oak Island
historian Paul Troutman
274
00:12:13,917 --> 00:12:17,167
are overseeing the
drilling of a new borehole
275
00:12:17,375 --> 00:12:20,708
known as HI-6.75.
276
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:24,417
A borehole nearly two feet
277
00:12:24,542 --> 00:12:28,792
from H-8, one of the team's
additional targets of interest
278
00:12:28,917 --> 00:12:33,125
located more than 50 feet
southwest of the Garden Shaft.
279
00:12:34,292 --> 00:12:36,125
Thank you.
280
00:12:37,625 --> 00:12:40,208
The H-8 caisson intersected
281
00:12:40,375 --> 00:12:42,500
possibly the Chappell Vault.
282
00:12:42,708 --> 00:12:45,500
This hole will hopefully
cover that ground.
283
00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:48,250
If we could recover that,
there'd be a lot of artifacts.
284
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:51,125
No question.
285
00:12:52,875 --> 00:12:54,875
In 2017,
286
00:12:55,042 --> 00:12:57,833
after recovering
pieces of parchment
287
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,167
and leather bookbinding
in a six-inch borehole
288
00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:02,833
known as H-8,
289
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,708
the Oak Island team
290
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,875
excavated a five-foot
diameter steel caisson
291
00:13:08,083 --> 00:13:09,917
in the hope of encountering
292
00:13:10,125 --> 00:13:12,875
the legendary Chappell Vault.
293
00:13:13,083 --> 00:13:16,417
A large, wooden chest
that was reportedly
294
00:13:16,583 --> 00:13:20,000
drilled into by Frederick
Blair and William Chappell
295
00:13:20,208 --> 00:13:21,750
in 1897.
296
00:13:21,958 --> 00:13:24,500
And which was believed
to contain both gold
297
00:13:24,708 --> 00:13:27,000
and parchment documents.
298
00:13:27,125 --> 00:13:29,167
We have a 14-foot
plug right now.
299
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:31,125
But we're stuck.
300
00:13:31,292 --> 00:13:33,958
Incredibly,
the Oak Island team's caisson
301
00:13:34,125 --> 00:13:37,333
struck a large object
at a depth of 170 feet.
302
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:40,833
Something was in front of
the can and we were pushing it
303
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,583
for a while until it
hit something hard.
304
00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:47,833
But unfortunately,
as they extended the caisson
305
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,083
deeper in the hopes of
breaching the potential vault,
306
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:54,042
it was pushed
deeper and into a void
307
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:56,375
somewhere off to the side.
308
00:13:57,375 --> 00:13:59,583
I'm glad that we're
getting it done.
309
00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:01,500
We're going to 171.
310
00:14:01,625 --> 00:14:03,708
Yeah. That's right.
311
00:14:03,917 --> 00:14:05,250
If the team is able
312
00:14:05,417 --> 00:14:08,167
to not only penetrate
the mysterious void,
313
00:14:08,333 --> 00:14:11,083
but also locate the
fabled Chappell Vault,
314
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:14,833
once the Garden Shaft
project is complete,
315
00:14:15,042 --> 00:14:18,833
they will be able to excavate
a ten-foot-diameter caisson,
316
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
and hopefully, retrieve it.
317
00:14:21,208 --> 00:14:23,008
Hopefully, we can
get a few more answers
318
00:14:23,125 --> 00:14:25,042
- with this borehole, but...
- Right now,
319
00:14:25,208 --> 00:14:28,417
we're well above target horizon,
we're only 28 feet below grade.
320
00:14:28,583 --> 00:14:32,583
HI-6.75 is going to
yield up a lot of secrets.
321
00:14:32,708 --> 00:14:34,583
Yes.
322
00:14:34,750 --> 00:14:36,750
As the core
drilling operation continues
323
00:14:36,875 --> 00:14:38,333
in the Money Pit area...
324
00:14:39,375 --> 00:14:41,875
- Hey. Hey.
- Hello, chaps.
325
00:14:42,042 --> 00:14:45,167
At the Oak
Island Interpretive Centre,
326
00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:46,833
Rick Lagina and his nephew Alex
327
00:14:46,958 --> 00:14:49,333
are meeting with Gary Drayton,
328
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,583
archaeologist Laird Niven
329
00:14:51,792 --> 00:14:54,500
and archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan.
330
00:14:54,667 --> 00:14:57,792
All of this is coming from
inside that circular feature.
331
00:14:57,917 --> 00:15:00,167
They are eager to receive Gary,
332
00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:02,583
Laird and Emma's
analysis of a coin,
333
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:07,083
as well as a potentially
500-year-old Venetian bead
334
00:15:07,292 --> 00:15:09,792
that were both
found one week ago
335
00:15:09,958 --> 00:15:12,000
in a large stone foundation
336
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:15,125
located near the
shoreline on Lot 5.
337
00:15:15,292 --> 00:15:17,083
Let's have a look, mate.
338
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,833
That's the right
size for a penny
339
00:15:20,042 --> 00:15:22,000
- or an half-penny.
- Yeah.
340
00:15:22,125 --> 00:15:24,167
Yeah.
No mistaking that.
341
00:15:24,375 --> 00:15:25,792
King George?
342
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:27,292
Well, let's take a look. Emma?
343
00:15:28,792 --> 00:15:30,000
Earlier today,
344
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:31,917
Emma scanned the coin
345
00:15:32,083 --> 00:15:35,500
with the SkyScan
1273 CT scanner,
346
00:15:35,708 --> 00:15:39,333
which emits non-destructive
X-ray radiation
347
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:41,042
to penetrate corrosion
348
00:15:41,208 --> 00:15:44,417
and reveal the
object's finer details.
349
00:15:46,875 --> 00:15:49,250
- There you go. Yeah.
- Okay.
350
00:15:49,417 --> 00:15:51,337
Right there, see on the righthand side?
351
00:15:51,417 --> 00:15:55,583
- Yeah.
- It should say, "Georgius III Rex."
352
00:15:57,375 --> 00:15:58,628
Yeah, it's
Latin... Georgius.
353
00:15:58,708 --> 00:15:59,833
It's the third.
354
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:01,333
Yeah. That's definitely, yeah.
355
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:03,000
So, 1760 to 1820.
356
00:16:03,167 --> 00:16:05,042
- Yeah.
- I think
357
00:16:05,208 --> 00:16:06,833
it's the first edition head.
358
00:16:07,042 --> 00:16:08,170
- Yeah. An early head.
- Yeah.
359
00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:11,458
So, that's... takes
it into 1770s.
360
00:16:13,042 --> 00:16:15,500
An English penny or half-penny
361
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:19,208
that could date back
nearly three decades prior
362
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:22,208
to the discovery of
the Money Pit in 1795?
363
00:16:22,417 --> 00:16:26,667
If so, who left it in the
foundation on Lot 5?
364
00:16:26,792 --> 00:16:30,167
Someone who may have
left something of value behind?
365
00:16:30,375 --> 00:16:34,333
Or was it someone looking
for the fabled treasure?
366
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,500
We think we're
still in the foundation,
367
00:16:37,667 --> 00:16:39,417
and this just came from the fill
368
00:16:39,542 --> 00:16:41,833
- that's actually really close to the top of it.
- Yeah.
369
00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:43,667
It's also in the stuff
370
00:16:43,792 --> 00:16:46,000
that was thrown
onto this feature.
371
00:16:46,208 --> 00:16:47,503
It means whatever's
underneath it is older.
372
00:16:47,583 --> 00:16:49,083
Older, yup. Yeah.
373
00:16:50,083 --> 00:16:51,295
The Money Pit was supposed
374
00:16:51,375 --> 00:16:52,833
to have been discovered in 1795.
375
00:16:53,042 --> 00:16:55,167
And that's why these 1760s dates
376
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:57,212
that we're getting off the
coin and the other artifacts
377
00:16:57,292 --> 00:17:00,125
make Lot 5 so fascinating.
378
00:17:00,292 --> 00:17:02,250
If this feature
was covered over,
379
00:17:02,417 --> 00:17:04,542
it may have been associated
with whatever did happen
380
00:17:04,708 --> 00:17:07,125
in the Money Pit
prior to its discovery.
381
00:17:07,333 --> 00:17:08,875
So, in our world, that means
382
00:17:09,042 --> 00:17:11,208
maybe this Lot 5
feature is associated
383
00:17:11,375 --> 00:17:12,875
with early depositor activity.
384
00:17:13,042 --> 00:17:15,250
- You were here for this, as well?
- Yeah.
385
00:17:15,375 --> 00:17:17,333
This was exciting,
too. It's a glass bead.
386
00:17:17,458 --> 00:17:19,875
- Wow.
- Yeah. It is colored.
387
00:17:20,042 --> 00:17:22,708
This is a stretched bead.
388
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:24,355
You know, they'd
have different colors
389
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:27,208
of enamel laid in, and
then they'd stretch it...
390
00:17:27,375 --> 00:17:30,042
For, like, 150 feet...
391
00:17:30,208 --> 00:17:32,667
And then just cut off the beads.
392
00:17:32,875 --> 00:17:34,333
So, it's probably off
393
00:17:34,542 --> 00:17:37,042
- a bracelet or a necklace.
- Yeah. Yeah.
394
00:17:37,208 --> 00:17:39,833
- Most likely from Venice.
- Wow.
395
00:17:40,042 --> 00:17:43,083
In 1470 AD,
396
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:45,667
a specialized method
for the production
397
00:17:45,833 --> 00:17:47,708
of fine glass bead jewelry
398
00:17:47,875 --> 00:17:49,917
was developed in Venice, Italy.
399
00:17:50,042 --> 00:17:52,875
As demand quickly grew,
400
00:17:53,042 --> 00:17:55,458
Venetian glass beads also became
401
00:17:55,625 --> 00:17:58,000
a highly valued type
of barter currency
402
00:17:58,208 --> 00:18:00,625
along trade routes
403
00:18:00,792 --> 00:18:05,667
in Europe, India, Africa
and the New World.
404
00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:09,000
Interestingly, we
did find another one earlier on.
405
00:18:09,167 --> 00:18:10,792
This one's even smaller.
406
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,750
Is it possible that
407
00:18:12,875 --> 00:18:16,167
if the team has actually
found two Venetian glass beads
408
00:18:16,292 --> 00:18:19,292
in the mysterious
foundation on Lot 5,
409
00:18:19,458 --> 00:18:22,083
could there be even
more valuable artifacts
410
00:18:22,208 --> 00:18:24,958
waiting to be recovered
deeper below?
411
00:18:25,083 --> 00:18:26,667
Yeah. So,
very, very similar.
412
00:18:26,875 --> 00:18:28,837
Which means there's
probably a lot of them out there.
413
00:18:28,917 --> 00:18:30,167
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
414
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:34,500
If this was truly
valuable, maybe this
415
00:18:34,667 --> 00:18:36,958
and the other things we're
finding could be a trade item,
416
00:18:37,125 --> 00:18:38,958
could be just in a
chest of valuables
417
00:18:39,167 --> 00:18:40,583
that was taken from somebody.
418
00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:43,000
We need to find
an expert because beads are
419
00:18:43,208 --> 00:18:45,667
an extremely complex subject.
420
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:47,835
And that's why we need
someone who's been doing it
421
00:18:48,042 --> 00:18:49,128
for years and years and years.
422
00:18:49,208 --> 00:18:50,875
That little item there
423
00:18:51,083 --> 00:18:52,667
- might be highly significant.
- Yeah.
424
00:18:52,875 --> 00:18:55,457
These are nice finds, but
as your dad always tells us,
425
00:18:55,458 --> 00:18:56,462
These are nice finds, but
as your dad always tells us,
426
00:18:56,542 --> 00:18:57,962
"Let's go out there
and find some more."
427
00:18:58,042 --> 00:18:59,500
- More digging. -Yup.
- Okay.
428
00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:01,333
Thanks, Laird.
Thank you, Emma.
429
00:19:01,542 --> 00:19:03,333
- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.
430
00:19:06,833 --> 00:19:09,167
As a new
day begins on Oak Island...
431
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:10,962
- Coming down?
- Copy that.
432
00:19:11,042 --> 00:19:12,375
And while operations
433
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:14,167
to deepen the Garden Shaft
434
00:19:14,375 --> 00:19:17,167
continue in the
Money Pit area...
435
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:20,708
What a great
day for finding treasure.
436
00:19:20,875 --> 00:19:22,625
Okay. Here we go.
437
00:19:22,750 --> 00:19:25,500
- All it takes is one good find.
- That's right.
438
00:19:25,625 --> 00:19:29,083
Rick Lagina, Gary Drayton
439
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,250
and Billy Gerhardt continue
440
00:19:31,375 --> 00:19:34,042
searching for valuable
clues near the potentially
441
00:19:34,208 --> 00:19:36,417
500-year-old stone road
442
00:19:36,583 --> 00:19:39,667
in the southeast
corner of the swamp.
443
00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:46,167
Is that pottery?
444
00:19:46,333 --> 00:19:48,833
- Billy!
- We both saw that.
445
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,667
- Look. See that?
- I see it, mate.
446
00:19:50,792 --> 00:19:52,958
That's nice.
447
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:54,667
Ho, ho. That's...
448
00:19:54,833 --> 00:19:55,958
I see... I see color.
449
00:19:56,125 --> 00:19:57,750
That's gorgeous, mate!
450
00:19:57,917 --> 00:20:00,625
Look at that!
451
00:20:00,792 --> 00:20:02,875
And there's another
piece there, as well.
452
00:20:03,042 --> 00:20:04,333
- Where?
- There.
453
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:05,753
- Yeah.
- You see the rim?
454
00:20:05,833 --> 00:20:07,167
Yup, yup.
455
00:20:07,375 --> 00:20:09,125
All right, let's see
if this is a match.
456
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:12,500
That is absolutely stunning.
457
00:20:12,667 --> 00:20:14,333
- That's beautiful, mate.
- What is that?
458
00:20:14,417 --> 00:20:16,958
That-that's old. That
is some fine china,
459
00:20:17,083 --> 00:20:18,250
by the look of it.
460
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:20,958
I mean, this is high-end stuff.
461
00:20:21,125 --> 00:20:23,250
I know that this
Chinese porcelain
462
00:20:23,375 --> 00:20:25,667
was really, really popular.
463
00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:29,833
That's what the Portuguese
fleets used to bring up
464
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,167
through these trade routes.
465
00:20:31,375 --> 00:20:33,333
Really, really nice.
466
00:20:33,542 --> 00:20:36,667
Potentially
ancient Chinese pottery?
467
00:20:36,833 --> 00:20:40,333
If so, could Gary
Drayton be correct
468
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,792
that it may offer another
Portuguese connection
469
00:20:42,958 --> 00:20:46,833
to the stone road in
the Oak Island swamp?
470
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,667
According to documented history,
471
00:20:49,833 --> 00:20:52,250
beginning in the
early 16th century,
472
00:20:52,375 --> 00:20:54,667
Portuguese explorers,
473
00:20:54,875 --> 00:20:58,292
including Vasco da Gama,
who was also a member
474
00:20:58,375 --> 00:21:01,292
of the Portuguese sect
of the Knights Templar,
475
00:21:01,458 --> 00:21:04,292
made extensive trading
expeditions to China,
476
00:21:04,458 --> 00:21:06,417
bringing back,
among other goods,
477
00:21:06,625 --> 00:21:09,500
fine Chinese porcelain,
478
00:21:09,667 --> 00:21:12,000
which then became highly traded
479
00:21:12,167 --> 00:21:14,833
throughout the region
and the Americas.
480
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,250
But you look. You can
see the age on the back.
481
00:21:17,458 --> 00:21:20,833
You see that crackling on the back?
482
00:21:20,917 --> 00:21:23,250
It's been in there a while.
483
00:21:23,417 --> 00:21:25,208
What we're looking for is to try
484
00:21:25,417 --> 00:21:27,750
to establish a connection
between these artifacts
485
00:21:27,917 --> 00:21:29,667
and the actual
486
00:21:29,792 --> 00:21:31,250
physical constructs:
487
00:21:31,417 --> 00:21:33,000
stone road, stone path.
488
00:21:33,208 --> 00:21:36,000
It's possible this pottery
will give us great insight
489
00:21:36,208 --> 00:21:38,708
into what this
feature represents
490
00:21:38,917 --> 00:21:41,792
because that stone road,
to me, is still inexplicable.
491
00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:44,917
There's something right there.
492
00:21:45,083 --> 00:21:46,667
- Something? You've seen it?
- Yup.
493
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,625
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
494
00:21:49,792 --> 00:21:51,875
- Big chunk.
- That's a big chunk, too.
495
00:21:52,042 --> 00:21:54,583
Yeah, that's a big chunk.
496
00:21:54,750 --> 00:21:56,792
Okay, mate, I've got
it in me hand, mate.
497
00:21:56,958 --> 00:21:58,042
I'll wait till you get out.
498
00:21:58,208 --> 00:21:59,542
There's-there's
another one. Gary!
499
00:21:59,708 --> 00:22:01,128
- There's another one. Yup.
- There's another one?
500
00:22:01,208 --> 00:22:02,958
That is so fantastic.
501
00:22:05,875 --> 00:22:08,167
- I think this may be something different.
- Is it?
502
00:22:08,375 --> 00:22:10,750
Yeah. I
think this is teacup.
503
00:22:10,917 --> 00:22:12,417
Don't get any better
than that, mate.
504
00:22:12,542 --> 00:22:15,417
What a perfect
start to the morning.
505
00:22:16,375 --> 00:22:18,417
Let's see. Look at that.
506
00:22:18,542 --> 00:22:22,000
- No. It's not...
- It's either a teacup or a bowl.
507
00:22:22,125 --> 00:22:24,500
Yeah. Actually...
508
00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:26,503
- It might fit?
- It's two different vessels.
509
00:22:26,583 --> 00:22:30,125
Where's the silver spoons,
though, with it, right?
510
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:31,500
That would be nice.
511
00:22:31,667 --> 00:22:33,333
And I'll bet there's
more in here.
512
00:22:33,542 --> 00:22:36,458
- Yup.
- Yup. Here you go. Here you go.
513
00:22:36,625 --> 00:22:39,833
Look at that, Billy.
514
00:22:40,042 --> 00:22:41,125
Yeah.
515
00:22:41,292 --> 00:22:43,333
I love this blue glaze.
516
00:22:43,542 --> 00:22:45,667
Yeah, that's a
Chinese design on it, as well.
517
00:22:45,875 --> 00:22:48,208
Turning into the
swamp tea party, isn't it?
518
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,208
If you found all that pottery,
519
00:22:52,375 --> 00:22:53,628
it should be a
pretty good chance
520
00:22:53,708 --> 00:22:55,212
of finding something
else there too, right?
521
00:22:55,292 --> 00:22:56,708
Yeah. With that amount of finds,
522
00:22:56,875 --> 00:22:58,295
I think we have to
go through it by hand.
523
00:22:58,375 --> 00:23:00,000
Agreed, mate.
524
00:23:00,167 --> 00:23:01,583
And I'll put these to one side
525
00:23:01,708 --> 00:23:03,375
'cause I'm turning
into Gary Potter.
526
00:23:05,375 --> 00:23:07,167
While Rick, Gary and Billy
527
00:23:07,375 --> 00:23:10,000
continue searching
for clues in the swamp,
528
00:23:10,167 --> 00:23:13,500
back in the Money Pit area...
529
00:23:13,708 --> 00:23:15,500
Let's, get ready
530
00:23:15,667 --> 00:23:17,625
for another core. Here it comes.
531
00:23:17,792 --> 00:23:20,750
- 118.
- Thank you, Colten.
532
00:23:20,875 --> 00:23:22,833
Other members of the team
533
00:23:23,042 --> 00:23:25,875
continue monitoring
the core drilling operation
534
00:23:26,042 --> 00:23:29,667
in borehole HI-6.75,
535
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:33,000
a borehole where they
hope to recover evidence
536
00:23:33,208 --> 00:23:38,833
of the fabled Chappell Vault
nearly 180 feet below ground.
537
00:23:40,292 --> 00:23:42,583
Thank you.
538
00:23:44,542 --> 00:23:46,917
Wow. That doesn't look good.
539
00:23:47,083 --> 00:23:48,833
- Little bit of, PVC?
- Yeah.
540
00:23:49,042 --> 00:23:50,792
You know what that
means, my friend?
541
00:23:50,917 --> 00:23:53,125
- It means we're drifting.
- Yeah. That means
542
00:23:53,292 --> 00:23:55,583
we're not going straight down.
543
00:23:56,542 --> 00:23:57,875
Yeah. Unfortunately,
544
00:23:58,042 --> 00:23:59,833
the drill drifts off, it
looks like we tagged
545
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,458
into either H-7 or maybe
H-6.5 that's in this area.
546
00:24:04,625 --> 00:24:07,667
And so, we're going
down and getting that PVC.
547
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:09,333
Unfortunately,
548
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,000
the drill pipe has
veered off course,
549
00:24:11,208 --> 00:24:14,458
and apparently, encountered
another nearby borehole
550
00:24:14,625 --> 00:24:17,625
that was previously
drilled by the team.
551
00:24:17,792 --> 00:24:19,832
It's very difficult
to drill a straight hole.
552
00:24:19,917 --> 00:24:23,542
Sometimes these holes wander
on average five or six feet.
553
00:24:23,708 --> 00:24:25,458
And if the borehole
walks a little bit
554
00:24:25,625 --> 00:24:27,337
and gets into one of
those other ones, it'll...
555
00:24:27,417 --> 00:24:29,125
it's almost impossible
to get it out.
556
00:24:29,250 --> 00:24:31,542
So, we're going to move the rig.
557
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:33,542
And if we're still
in the right area,
558
00:24:33,708 --> 00:24:35,462
or heading for the right
area, then we can keep going.
559
00:24:35,542 --> 00:24:37,917
It's discouraging.
The idea that we're passing
560
00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:40,003
- through an old borehole... that's-that's not good.
- Yeah.
561
00:24:40,083 --> 00:24:42,045
We don't want to keep chewing
on this all the way down, so...
562
00:24:42,125 --> 00:24:44,045
That's right. Yeah. We've
got to get them a new spot.
563
00:24:44,125 --> 00:24:45,500
I agree.
564
00:24:45,667 --> 00:24:48,083
- And then we move on.
- Okay.
565
00:24:48,250 --> 00:24:52,833
While Terry and
Paul regroup in the Money Pit area...
566
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,128
I'm really excited to
see what this guy has to say.
567
00:24:55,208 --> 00:24:56,500
Yeah.
568
00:24:56,708 --> 00:24:58,500
I think this is the place, Jack.
569
00:24:58,667 --> 00:25:00,333
Jack Begley
570
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,625
and Oak Island historian
Charles Barkhouse
571
00:25:02,792 --> 00:25:05,542
have traveled some
50 miles northeast
572
00:25:05,708 --> 00:25:07,750
to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
573
00:25:07,917 --> 00:25:11,083
I think it's back here, Jack.
574
00:25:11,208 --> 00:25:12,708
Hi, Phil.
575
00:25:12,875 --> 00:25:14,462
- Hey. How you doing?
- Good. How are you?
576
00:25:14,542 --> 00:25:16,125
Not too bad.
577
00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:17,833
Here, they are meeting
578
00:25:17,958 --> 00:25:20,875
with Philip
Doucette, a specialist
579
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
in glass bead
design, at his studio
580
00:25:24,167 --> 00:25:27,208
in order to have him examine
the believed Venetian beads
581
00:25:27,375 --> 00:25:30,667
that were recently
found on Lot 5.
582
00:25:30,833 --> 00:25:33,750
So, we were working
on Oak Island,
583
00:25:33,875 --> 00:25:37,250
and we've uncovered
this buried feature.
584
00:25:37,417 --> 00:25:39,208
And while digging
amongst the boulders,
585
00:25:39,375 --> 00:25:42,167
our archaeologists
found these beads.
586
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:46,333
They believe that they
could be Venetian beads?
587
00:25:46,458 --> 00:25:48,833
Very nice.
588
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,167
And they've come
out of the ground?
589
00:25:51,333 --> 00:25:52,917
And they were there for a while.
590
00:25:53,083 --> 00:25:56,250
The signs of the pitting
that you can see on the ends.
591
00:25:56,417 --> 00:26:00,625
Well, I know exactly
what these appear to be.
592
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:03,875
These are drawn glass beads.
593
00:26:04,042 --> 00:26:07,000
And what really
identifies these as drawn
594
00:26:07,125 --> 00:26:11,042
- is that the stripes are incredibly straight.
- Right.
595
00:26:11,250 --> 00:26:13,083
And that comes from
pulling against the glass.
596
00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:14,917
It pulls them out straight.
597
00:26:15,083 --> 00:26:16,583
Yeah.
598
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:20,500
These beads, I'm very
confident, were made in Venice.
599
00:26:20,625 --> 00:26:22,917
This color...
600
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:25,458
The red and the
blue and the white...
601
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:28,000
Are very early formulations
602
00:26:28,208 --> 00:26:30,292
of glass in that color.
603
00:26:30,417 --> 00:26:33,208
So, the style of this bead...
604
00:26:33,333 --> 00:26:35,667
It speaks towards
it being older?
605
00:26:35,875 --> 00:26:37,667
Is there a time period?
606
00:26:37,833 --> 00:26:42,375
Yes. So, based on the
color and the design,
607
00:26:42,542 --> 00:26:45,667
I would confidently say
that these were made
608
00:26:45,792 --> 00:26:48,958
between 1500 and 1650.
609
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,083
Wow.
610
00:26:56,833 --> 00:26:59,125
These were made between 1500
611
00:26:59,333 --> 00:27:00,625
and 1650.
612
00:27:00,792 --> 00:27:02,833
- Wow.
- Really?
613
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,295
In Halifax, Nova Scotia...
614
00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:05,833
These are very old.
615
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,500
Glass
bead expert Philip Doucette
616
00:27:08,667 --> 00:27:11,333
has just confirmed
that the two beads
617
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:12,917
that were recently unearthed
618
00:27:13,083 --> 00:27:15,708
in the stone foundation on Lot 5
619
00:27:15,875 --> 00:27:18,083
are Venetian trade beads
620
00:27:18,208 --> 00:27:22,083
and date as far back
as the early 16th century.
621
00:27:22,208 --> 00:27:24,667
The date
range for these beads...
622
00:27:24,833 --> 00:27:26,625
You're extremely confident that
623
00:27:26,792 --> 00:27:28,958
it falls into that time frame?
624
00:27:29,125 --> 00:27:32,875
That's correct. Um,
drawn glass, white-striped.
625
00:27:33,958 --> 00:27:35,833
They were a precious commodity.
626
00:27:35,917 --> 00:27:37,583
Wow.
627
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:40,542
Yes. There was a really
brisk trade going on.
628
00:27:40,708 --> 00:27:41,795
Five or six of these beads would
629
00:27:41,875 --> 00:27:44,667
- buy a beaver pelt.
- Really?
630
00:27:44,875 --> 00:27:47,667
And that's a high-value item.
631
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:52,833
And a bracelet would probably
have 40, 50 beads on it.
632
00:27:53,042 --> 00:27:55,583
That's a small fortune in trade.
633
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:57,083
Okay.
634
00:27:57,250 --> 00:27:59,000
And it was a great currency
635
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:02,500
for the people that were
coming across the Atlantic.
636
00:28:02,625 --> 00:28:05,000
In particular, in Nova Scotia.
637
00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:09,083
It was first the
Portuguese, and then,
638
00:28:09,250 --> 00:28:12,375
the Spanish, and then
the French took over,
639
00:28:12,583 --> 00:28:14,750
and the British taking
over Louisbourg.
640
00:28:14,875 --> 00:28:17,875
The Portuguese
were a major trader
641
00:28:18,042 --> 00:28:19,792
up and down the American coast,
642
00:28:19,958 --> 00:28:21,833
and then, the Canadian
coast at that time.
643
00:28:22,042 --> 00:28:23,917
And they would have
these barrels of beads
644
00:28:24,083 --> 00:28:27,250
that they would trade, which
come originally from Venice.
645
00:28:27,417 --> 00:28:29,167
We have found some things
646
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:32,125
that pointed to the Portuguese
possibly being on the island.
647
00:28:32,250 --> 00:28:35,000
There's even questions on
the stone road along the swamp.
648
00:28:35,167 --> 00:28:37,917
There are theories
that, that stone road was
649
00:28:38,042 --> 00:28:41,958
built by the Portuguese,
based upon the dates.
650
00:28:42,125 --> 00:28:44,375
We've wondered if the
Portuguese could be involved,
651
00:28:44,542 --> 00:28:46,875
and they had made
it to Oak Island, but
652
00:28:47,042 --> 00:28:50,125
maybe they were
over on Lot 5, as well,
653
00:28:50,292 --> 00:28:52,292
and these beads got lost.
654
00:28:52,458 --> 00:28:53,958
Is it possible
655
00:28:54,083 --> 00:28:55,667
that these Venetian beads...
656
00:28:55,792 --> 00:28:58,833
Which may be 500
years old, or older...
657
00:28:59,042 --> 00:29:01,750
Could offer evidence
that the feature
658
00:29:01,875 --> 00:29:05,500
on Lot 5 was built during
that same time period?
659
00:29:05,708 --> 00:29:08,833
If so, could it also
have been constructed
660
00:29:09,042 --> 00:29:10,833
by those who
created the stone road
661
00:29:11,042 --> 00:29:13,250
in the triangle-shaped swamp?
662
00:29:13,375 --> 00:29:16,000
And perhaps explain
the high trace evidence
663
00:29:16,167 --> 00:29:18,333
of precious metals
that have been detected
664
00:29:18,542 --> 00:29:21,500
all across the Money Pit area?
665
00:29:21,667 --> 00:29:23,417
If the Portuguese were here,
666
00:29:23,542 --> 00:29:25,125
these beads could
be an indication
667
00:29:25,208 --> 00:29:27,542
that they were
around the Lot 5 area.
668
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:32,083
They might be the depositors
of the treasure in the Money Pit.
669
00:29:32,250 --> 00:29:36,625
We don't know, but this
could be what answers it all.
670
00:29:36,792 --> 00:29:38,667
Well, here. Let me
give these back to you.
671
00:29:38,792 --> 00:29:40,667
But keep them safe.
672
00:29:40,792 --> 00:29:42,667
This makes the
bead more important.
673
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:44,625
Yeah, absolutely.
674
00:29:44,792 --> 00:29:47,083
Lot 5 has become a
very prominent point
675
00:29:47,250 --> 00:29:48,625
on-on the island.
676
00:29:48,792 --> 00:29:50,625
And-and it makes you wonder,
677
00:29:50,708 --> 00:29:52,170
- "What else is there?"
- Well, this is
678
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:54,050
- really great information.
- Agreed.
679
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:56,128
- We appreciate it.
- And I want to thank you for your time.
680
00:29:56,208 --> 00:29:58,417
- You're very welcome.
- Thanks, Phil.
681
00:29:58,542 --> 00:30:01,458
While Jack and
Charles begin their return journey,
682
00:30:01,625 --> 00:30:03,542
back on Oak Island...
683
00:30:03,708 --> 00:30:05,670
- This was the most interesting area.
- Yeah.
684
00:30:05,750 --> 00:30:07,087
- Why don't you just start digging?
- Yup.
685
00:30:07,167 --> 00:30:08,458
Rick Lagina,
686
00:30:08,625 --> 00:30:10,167
along with Gary Drayton
687
00:30:10,292 --> 00:30:11,833
and Billy Gerhardt
688
00:30:12,042 --> 00:30:13,750
continue their search
for additional clues
689
00:30:13,875 --> 00:30:16,708
along the stone
road, or ship's wharf,
690
00:30:16,875 --> 00:30:19,542
in the southeast
corner of the swamp.
691
00:30:20,583 --> 00:30:22,917
Do I dump it, or do
you want to pull some of it out?
692
00:30:24,667 --> 00:30:26,167
Did you see something, Billy?
693
00:30:26,375 --> 00:30:27,667
It looked like
694
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:29,792
a piece right away, but...
695
00:30:29,958 --> 00:30:32,000
but I'm not sure.
696
00:30:32,208 --> 00:30:33,712
Seems to
be a lot of peat in this.
697
00:30:33,792 --> 00:30:35,792
There could be some pottery.
698
00:30:35,958 --> 00:30:37,458
I think that's a rock.
699
00:30:37,542 --> 00:30:39,417
I'm not sure.
700
00:30:41,250 --> 00:30:43,792
No, that's a bit
of pottery, mate.
701
00:30:43,958 --> 00:30:45,833
And it's different, as well.
702
00:30:46,042 --> 00:30:48,208
It's got black edges.
703
00:30:48,375 --> 00:30:50,625
So, it's two-toned. It would
have been black and brown.
704
00:30:50,792 --> 00:30:53,208
Or brown and tan. Look.
705
00:30:53,375 --> 00:30:55,015
- See that darker glaze there?
- Yeah.
706
00:30:55,167 --> 00:30:58,250
- And it's on that side.
- Yup.
707
00:30:58,458 --> 00:31:01,000
- I've never seen that before.
- And I haven't, mate.
708
00:31:01,167 --> 00:31:03,542
It's got the black
glaze on both sides.
709
00:31:03,708 --> 00:31:04,833
That... that is different.
710
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,500
All right, I'll put
that in the bag
711
00:31:06,708 --> 00:31:08,333
to add to the collection.
712
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,750
I do find the
credible collection
713
00:31:10,917 --> 00:31:13,792
of pottery telling
some sort of story.
714
00:31:13,958 --> 00:31:15,917
And so, we need
to do our homework.
715
00:31:16,083 --> 00:31:18,542
We need to understand
what... how old this pottery is,
716
00:31:18,708 --> 00:31:20,333
what it might have
been used for.
717
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:24,417
Is there a cultural-stylistic
understanding of it?
718
00:31:24,583 --> 00:31:25,667
And then go from there.
719
00:31:25,792 --> 00:31:27,667
There we go.
720
00:31:27,875 --> 00:31:30,750
More pottery, mate.
Look. It's tumbling out.
721
00:31:33,042 --> 00:31:34,375
Here you go, Gary.
722
00:31:34,542 --> 00:31:35,833
Here's your favorite.
723
00:31:36,042 --> 00:31:38,792
What've you got?
724
00:31:38,958 --> 00:31:42,292
That's bloody
beautiful. Look at that.
725
00:31:42,458 --> 00:31:46,333
That... is really nice.
726
00:31:46,542 --> 00:31:48,125
I think this is older
727
00:31:48,292 --> 00:31:52,583
than that other porcelain
we found. Yeah.
728
00:31:52,750 --> 00:31:54,667
I mean, this is really nice.
729
00:31:54,833 --> 00:31:56,500
Look. That's not
the same pattern.
730
00:31:56,625 --> 00:31:58,462
- That's an older pattern.
- No, that's different.
731
00:31:58,542 --> 00:32:01,250
There was a lot of people
here, spent a lot of time right here
732
00:32:01,417 --> 00:32:05,833
at the end of this road,
and it might span centuries.
733
00:32:06,042 --> 00:32:08,417
- Let's see what else there is, right?
- Yeah.
734
00:32:14,042 --> 00:32:15,167
Look at that, Gary.
735
00:32:15,333 --> 00:32:16,958
Check that out.
736
00:32:17,125 --> 00:32:19,167
What the heck is that?
737
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,958
This is
absolutely stunning, mate.
738
00:32:27,125 --> 00:32:29,500
That is either a shoe or a boot.
739
00:32:29,667 --> 00:32:32,000
While searching
for clues near the stone road
740
00:32:32,125 --> 00:32:34,792
in the southeast
corner of the swamp,
741
00:32:34,958 --> 00:32:37,833
Rick Lagina, Gary Drayton
742
00:32:38,042 --> 00:32:40,333
and Billy Gerhardt have
just made a potentially
743
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,375
critical discovery.
744
00:32:42,542 --> 00:32:44,667
Obviously, it's leather.
745
00:32:44,875 --> 00:32:48,667
It looks like the heel piece.
746
00:32:48,875 --> 00:32:50,708
I think that is a heel
747
00:32:50,917 --> 00:32:52,958
of a boot or a shoe.
748
00:32:53,125 --> 00:32:55,208
I'd say it's the heel, yeah.
749
00:32:55,375 --> 00:32:58,250
Do you see that square hole there, mate?
750
00:32:58,417 --> 00:33:02,042
And that was
made by fastening this sole
751
00:33:02,208 --> 00:33:05,083
to the shoe with odd nails.
752
00:33:05,208 --> 00:33:07,917
Little handmade nails
that had square shanks.
753
00:33:08,042 --> 00:33:09,875
Now, if it was modern,
it would be glued.
754
00:33:10,042 --> 00:33:12,458
So, this is an oldie...
755
00:33:12,583 --> 00:33:17,625
1800s or older because
now they're glued.
756
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:21,208
The sole
of a possibly ancient boot?
757
00:33:21,375 --> 00:33:23,833
Found near the stone
road in the swamp?
758
00:33:24,042 --> 00:33:27,000
But if so, just how
old could it be?
759
00:33:27,167 --> 00:33:30,125
And who did it belong to?
760
00:33:30,292 --> 00:33:32,542
- That's a very cool find.
- Yeah.
761
00:33:32,708 --> 00:33:33,875
If there's a certain
762
00:33:34,042 --> 00:33:36,250
style to this type of shoe,
763
00:33:36,375 --> 00:33:39,292
since its close proximity
to the stone road,
764
00:33:39,458 --> 00:33:42,333
you may be able to
infer who built the road.
765
00:33:42,542 --> 00:33:43,917
I think it's important
766
00:33:44,083 --> 00:33:47,500
to understand the
age of this artifact...
767
00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:48,868
I'm going to put it in a bag.
768
00:33:48,958 --> 00:33:51,542
And the dates on the pottery
769
00:33:51,708 --> 00:33:53,667
and see what it tells
us about the mystery.
770
00:33:53,833 --> 00:33:56,917
I'll bring it back to the lab
771
00:33:57,083 --> 00:33:58,667
where they can
conserve it properly.
772
00:33:58,833 --> 00:34:00,587
All right, mate. And I'll let
you know if we find any more.
773
00:34:00,667 --> 00:34:01,792
Perfect.
774
00:34:01,958 --> 00:34:03,083
Good luck. See you.
775
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:04,542
See you, mate.
776
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,958
Later that afternoon...
777
00:34:08,167 --> 00:34:10,500
- Hey, Scott.
- Hey, guys.
778
00:34:10,667 --> 00:34:12,427
They're just above
where the tunnel should be
779
00:34:12,542 --> 00:34:14,333
- on the west side.
- Rick
780
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:17,542
and Marty Lagina join
operations manager Scott Barlow
781
00:34:17,708 --> 00:34:20,083
in the Money Pit area.
782
00:34:20,208 --> 00:34:22,295
They're gonna be
on an angle for the first hole,
783
00:34:22,375 --> 00:34:24,170
judging by the looks
of how that drill's sitting.
784
00:34:24,250 --> 00:34:26,667
After months of tireless work
785
00:34:26,833 --> 00:34:28,333
and unforeseen challenges,
786
00:34:28,542 --> 00:34:32,167
representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited
787
00:34:32,333 --> 00:34:34,667
have successfully
extended the Garden Shaft
788
00:34:34,833 --> 00:34:36,708
to a depth of 90 feet,
789
00:34:36,875 --> 00:34:40,167
and are ready to begin
a core-drilling operation
790
00:34:40,375 --> 00:34:43,625
in the hopes of penetrating
the seven-foot-high tunnel
791
00:34:43,792 --> 00:34:47,458
located just five feet
deeper below ground.
792
00:34:47,583 --> 00:34:51,000
A tunnel which leads
directly toward the Baby Blob,
793
00:34:51,167 --> 00:34:54,167
and a potential cache
of buried treasure.
794
00:34:54,333 --> 00:34:56,375
Hopefully, they get some
wood in their returns.
795
00:34:56,542 --> 00:34:58,462
- Let's find a tunnel today.
- Let's find a tunnel.
796
00:34:58,542 --> 00:35:00,708
Finally, we're
ready to do the probe-drilling
797
00:35:00,917 --> 00:35:02,375
down to what we
think is the tunnel.
798
00:35:02,542 --> 00:35:04,542
- Hold the rod.
- So, we need the data.
799
00:35:04,708 --> 00:35:06,833
We need to probe-drill
first and try and see
800
00:35:06,958 --> 00:35:09,958
where this tunnel is and
what might be inside it.
801
00:35:10,125 --> 00:35:12,458
Okay, let's just
see what happens.
802
00:35:14,958 --> 00:35:16,583
Okay, Ronnie,
want to start drilling?
803
00:35:35,208 --> 00:35:36,875
- All right, there we go.
- There we go.
804
00:35:37,042 --> 00:35:38,917
Yeah.
805
00:35:39,083 --> 00:35:41,417
I am extremely
excited about this,
806
00:35:41,583 --> 00:35:43,712
because what we find at the
bottom of that Garden Shaft
807
00:35:43,792 --> 00:35:45,333
could be everything.
808
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:48,083
The key to this whole
mystery might be down there.
809
00:35:48,208 --> 00:35:50,792
It's possible that that's
where the treasure is.
810
00:35:50,958 --> 00:35:53,250
So, I mean, we could find it.
811
00:35:55,417 --> 00:35:57,167
What does this tunnel represent?
812
00:35:57,375 --> 00:36:00,333
It's been the focus
of the year, you know?
813
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:04,667
Does it represent searcher
era or-or pre-searcher era?
814
00:36:04,792 --> 00:36:05,958
So...
815
00:36:06,125 --> 00:36:07,958
all fingers crossed.
816
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:11,375
The hope is there's a wood
core in there and we'll send it off.
817
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,083
You may not hit anything
818
00:36:13,208 --> 00:36:15,333
until the very bottom,
until the 95-foot mark.
819
00:36:15,458 --> 00:36:17,125
- They're about there now.
- Yeah.
820
00:36:47,208 --> 00:36:48,208
Copy, Paul?
821
00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:50,292
Yeah. Go ahead.
822
00:36:53,917 --> 00:36:55,167
We're on something.
823
00:37:06,625 --> 00:37:08,583
- Yeah.
- But if it's wood,
824
00:37:08,792 --> 00:37:10,542
it can only be the tunnel.
825
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:12,045
It is a
potentially critical moment
826
00:37:12,125 --> 00:37:13,625
in the Money Pit area
827
00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:16,667
for Rick and Marty
Lagina and their team.
828
00:37:16,833 --> 00:37:18,462
It'd be about
the right depth for the floor
829
00:37:18,542 --> 00:37:20,102
- of the tunnel.
- After weeks
830
00:37:20,208 --> 00:37:21,833
of frustrating setbacks,
831
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,292
representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited
832
00:37:25,458 --> 00:37:28,292
may have finally reached
a seven-foot-high tunnel
833
00:37:28,458 --> 00:37:30,458
located just below
the Garden Shaft
834
00:37:30,583 --> 00:37:33,125
at a depth of some 95 feet.
835
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:36,667
A tunnel that runs
westward towards an area
836
00:37:36,833 --> 00:37:40,500
known as the Baby Blob,
where water testing has detected
837
00:37:40,708 --> 00:37:44,375
high-trace evidence of
gold, silver and other metals
838
00:37:44,542 --> 00:37:48,458
between 80 and
120 feet underground.
839
00:37:54,958 --> 00:37:57,792
- Wow.
- Could be you're going through the floor.
840
00:37:57,917 --> 00:37:59,837
- So, that's potentially the floor of the tunnel.
- The floor of the tunnel.
841
00:37:59,917 --> 00:38:02,167
- Pull it out and see what we got.
- See what we got.
842
00:38:02,375 --> 00:38:03,792
Pull it out.
843
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:15,750
Yeah.
844
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:23,000
We'll soon know.
845
00:38:23,125 --> 00:38:25,045
We're about to
see what they went through.
846
00:38:25,125 --> 00:38:27,212
I mean, sometimes it fails.
Sometimes you don't get a core.
847
00:38:27,292 --> 00:38:30,042
But I think we have one.
848
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:32,667
I want to see
a good piece of wood.
849
00:38:32,833 --> 00:38:34,473
That's what I want to
see. That means that
850
00:38:34,583 --> 00:38:36,292
our efforts are worthwhile.
851
00:38:46,875 --> 00:38:49,375
Okay. Watch
it when you open it.
852
00:38:53,417 --> 00:38:55,167
Is that wood right here?
853
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:56,420
- Right there?
- Yeah.
854
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:57,542
That's wood there, yeah?
855
00:38:59,167 --> 00:39:01,750
- We got wood, baby.
- Beautiful.
856
00:39:01,958 --> 00:39:03,598
There's a
collective sigh of relief,
857
00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:06,167
that it confirms the
existence of the tunnel
858
00:39:06,333 --> 00:39:08,000
underneath the Garden Shaft.
859
00:39:08,125 --> 00:39:09,667
Bingo, they did it.
860
00:39:09,875 --> 00:39:11,208
Great relief.
861
00:39:11,375 --> 00:39:13,833
And we can send it
off for C-14 testing,
862
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,083
and keep going to see
if that will lead to solving
863
00:39:17,208 --> 00:39:18,917
the mystery or
finding the treasure.
864
00:39:19,042 --> 00:39:20,712
This whole
thing is wood, then, isn't it?
865
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:22,833
- That's clay, wood.
- A lot of wood.
866
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,792
Yeah, that's got to
be six inches, isn't it?
867
00:39:25,875 --> 00:39:28,167
Could we be one step
closer to finding a treasure
868
00:39:28,375 --> 00:39:30,750
if, in fact, a
treasure's there? Yes.
869
00:39:30,917 --> 00:39:32,337
I've been focused
for three years now
870
00:39:32,417 --> 00:39:33,750
on the metals in the water.
871
00:39:33,917 --> 00:39:36,042
You got two preeminent
scientists saying
872
00:39:36,208 --> 00:39:37,728
these metals are
coming from somewhere,
873
00:39:37,833 --> 00:39:40,042
and it's probably very
near the Garden Shaft.
874
00:39:40,208 --> 00:39:42,448
So, do we want to
drill another hole or do we want
875
00:39:42,542 --> 00:39:43,750
to just get to digging?
876
00:39:43,958 --> 00:39:45,917
I'd say we drill
the north corner,
877
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:47,795
tell you something
about the structure of it.
878
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:50,083
- Exactly.
- Might be a good data point
879
00:39:50,250 --> 00:39:51,167
to figure out what it is.
880
00:39:51,292 --> 00:39:52,500
It's a tunnel to somewhere.
881
00:39:52,708 --> 00:39:54,295
- Yeah.
- It's a tunnel for something.
882
00:39:54,375 --> 00:39:56,583
- It could be original.
- Yeah.
883
00:39:56,708 --> 00:39:59,083
If that C-14 date comes back
884
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:00,625
and if it predates
885
00:40:00,792 --> 00:40:03,667
searcher activity,
it's incredible.
886
00:40:03,875 --> 00:40:07,083
If you are looking at a
tunnel where people went in
887
00:40:07,250 --> 00:40:10,333
to safeguard a
secret treasure...
888
00:40:10,542 --> 00:40:12,128
that
raises the bar so high,
889
00:40:12,208 --> 00:40:13,875
I can't even get over it.
890
00:40:14,042 --> 00:40:16,583
I mean, look, it-it's
been a long summer,
891
00:40:16,750 --> 00:40:18,667
there's been a lot of obstacles,
892
00:40:18,875 --> 00:40:22,458
but we've proven there's wood
down below the Garden Shaft.
893
00:40:22,583 --> 00:40:24,917
We found it, right? That
was one of the goals, right?
894
00:40:25,125 --> 00:40:26,583
And we're this far from...
895
00:40:26,750 --> 00:40:28,628
- well, we're more like this far...
- Yeah.
896
00:40:28,708 --> 00:40:30,375
From getting to the top of that.
897
00:40:30,542 --> 00:40:32,875
So, let's figure out what
this thing represents.
898
00:40:33,042 --> 00:40:35,417
Hey, here's the deal: right
now, we're still in the game.
899
00:40:35,583 --> 00:40:36,837
If that'd come up
empty, we'd start to think
900
00:40:36,917 --> 00:40:38,437
- game was getting bad.
- There you go.
901
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:40,708
- We're still in the game, so...
- Let's move on.
902
00:40:40,875 --> 00:40:43,125
For more than two centuries,
903
00:40:43,292 --> 00:40:45,000
the inability of searchers
904
00:40:45,208 --> 00:40:48,667
to recover something of
great value in the Money Pit
905
00:40:48,833 --> 00:40:52,625
has caused many to wonder
906
00:40:52,750 --> 00:40:56,833
if the Oak Island mystery
was based on mere fantasy.
907
00:40:57,042 --> 00:41:00,708
But now, after
discovering new evidence
908
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:05,250
of ancient human activity
on Lot 5 and in the swamp,
909
00:41:05,375 --> 00:41:07,667
as well as a possible
treasure tunnel
910
00:41:07,875 --> 00:41:10,542
just below the Garden Shaft,
911
00:41:10,708 --> 00:41:12,792
Rick, Marty and their team
912
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,458
have all but proven...
913
00:41:15,583 --> 00:41:18,708
that an extraordinary
treasure is waiting to be found.
914
00:41:20,875 --> 00:41:24,000
And they may have
finally located the solution
915
00:41:24,125 --> 00:41:29,833
that will allow
them to recover it.
916
00:41:31,625 --> 00:41:34,208
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
917
00:41:34,417 --> 00:41:36,667
It's catching on something.
918
00:41:36,792 --> 00:41:38,545
- Look at that thing.
- There's something curious
919
00:41:38,625 --> 00:41:40,375
- about this boulder.
- That's like
920
00:41:40,542 --> 00:41:42,417
the Nolan's Cross boulder.
921
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:45,125
This soil is super compact.
922
00:41:45,292 --> 00:41:46,792
This was constructed
for a purpose.
923
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,417
- Whoa.
- It's an almost exact match
924
00:41:49,542 --> 00:41:52,125
- to a Money Pit sample.
- Wow.
925
00:41:52,292 --> 00:41:55,333
The association that
could be made is mind-blowing.
926
00:41:55,458 --> 00:41:57,258
- What is that?
- Pretty solid chunk of metal.
927
00:41:57,375 --> 00:41:58,795
That could be a
piece of the treasure vault.
928
00:41:58,875 --> 00:41:59,875
Yep.
929
00:42:00,042 --> 00:42:01,708
