Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island
2
00:00:03,909 --> 00:00:06,060
Here are the stones
of Nolan’s Cross.
3
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:07,759
-They intersect
at this location.
4
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:08,760
-MARTY: Wow.
5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,760
X marks the spot.
6
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,090
DANNY:
Yeah! That’s what
7
00:00:11,090 --> 00:00:12,250
we’re looking for!
8
00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:13,809
RICK:
We’re on something.
9
00:00:13,809 --> 00:00:14,809
That is massive.
10
00:00:14,809 --> 00:00:17,150
-GARY: Whoa! Look at that.
-JACK: What?
11
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:18,869
-That’s a lock.
-It is.
12
00:00:18,869 --> 00:00:21,250
That looks like it’s off
a treasure chest.
13
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:23,480
-CRAIG: That does not look good.
-MARTY: Nothing’s running.
14
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,199
-RICK: Hammer grab’s down.
-We’re in trouble.
15
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:26,619
JARDINE:
Very disappointing for me.
16
00:00:26,619 --> 00:00:29,750
We got the word this morning
that we’re on strike.
17
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:33,050
NARRATOR:
There is an island
18
00:00:33,050 --> 00:00:35,210
in the North Atlantic
19
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:38,079
where people have been looking
for an incredible treasure
20
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,489
for more than 200 years.
21
00:00:41,489 --> 00:00:44,829
So far, they have found
a stone slab
22
00:00:44,829 --> 00:00:47,670
with strange symbols carved
into it,
23
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:50,739
mysterious fragments
of human bone,
24
00:00:50,739 --> 00:00:54,469
and a lead cross whose origin
may stretch back
25
00:00:54,469 --> 00:00:56,710
to the days
of the Knights Templar.
26
00:00:56,710 --> 00:01:02,460
To date, six men have died
trying to solve the mystery.
27
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:04,180
And, according to legend,
28
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,460
one more will have to die
29
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:11,260
before the treasure
can be found.

As a new day begins
33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,970
on Oak Island...
34
00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:41,370
DOUG:
I see a piece of timber there.
35
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:44,040
Let’s have a look at that
before he takes it away.
36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,310
...local historians,
Paul Troutman and Doug Crowell,
37
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:49,580
along with geologist
Terry Matheson,
38
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:53,020
are monitoring the excavation
of the 60-inch-wide borehole
39
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:54,590
known as GG-1.
40
00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:56,840
DOUG:
It looks like
41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,010
an older timber to me.
42
00:01:58,010 --> 00:01:59,540
Oh, she’s well over six-inch.
43
00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:01,520
NARRATOR:
It is this borehole
44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,270
that the team believes could
get them within a few feet
45
00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:06,660
of the original
Money Pit treasure shaft,
46
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:08,450
first discovered in 1795.
47
00:02:08,450 --> 00:02:12,040
TERRY:
Old chunk of timber.
48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,740
PAUL:
Yeah, you got a little notch
49
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:16,050
right in here.
50
00:02:16,050 --> 00:02:18,660
Break at the top,
break at the bottom.
51
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:21,060
Notch right on the side.
52
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:24,050
TERRY:
Yesterday, we didn’t see,
53
00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:25,350
uh, we didn’t see any changes.
54
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:28,300
Just saw a lot of debris
and, uh, little wood splinters
55
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,960
-and twigs and this and that.
-Yeah.
56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,280
-That looked different.
-Where are we at now?
57
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,350
JARDINE:
The hole was at 90, 91 feet.
58
00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:39,230
So we’ll be pushing 100 feet
right there now with the can.
59
00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:40,610
PAUL:
We should be in the target area
60
00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:42,600
between 100, 150 or so.
61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,810
So hoping to see
some more timbers
62
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:47,190
-as we, as we come
into it, so...
63
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:48,190
-Yeah.
64
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:49,590
DOUG:
Something like that
65
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:50,290
could be, uh,
66
00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:50,990
supporting the top of a tunnel.
67
00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:52,590
RICK:
There’s no question about that.
68
00:02:52,590 --> 00:02:53,590
NARRATOR:
Two weeks ago,
69
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:57,760
while excavating a 60-inch-wide
borehole known as S-6,
70
00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:01,540
some six feet
southwest of GG-1,
71
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,760
the Oak Island team penetrated
what they believed
72
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,210
to be the infamous Shaft Six,
73
00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:11,300
the searcher tunnel that was
originally dug back in 1861
74
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,650
as a kind of back door into
the original treasure vault.
75
00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:17,990
It was while searching
through the S-6 spoils
76
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:22,000
that the Oak Island team made
a number of exciting finds,
77
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,500
including bits
of leather bookbinding,
78
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:28,430
stoneware pottery dating back
to the early 1700s
79
00:03:28,430 --> 00:03:31,150
and a hand-hewn oak timber,
similar to those
80
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:35,010
reportedly found
in the original Money Pit.
81
00:03:35,010 --> 00:03:37,340
These finds convinced them
that not only
82
00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:39,650
might they have
finally found Shaft Six,
83
00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:41,540
but they could be
closer than ever
84
00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:43,959
to finding the original
Money Pit treasure vault,
85
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:46,710
and, thus,
solving the Oak Island mystery.
86
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:48,950
RICK:
Based on these maps,
87
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:51,990
the Money Pit is up
in this northwest quadrant.
88
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:55,710
I have high hopes and high
anticipation. I think that
89
00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:58,870
we’re on the cusp
of possibly finding
90
00:03:58,870 --> 00:04:00,750
the one thing in the Money Pit.
91
00:04:06,350 --> 00:04:07,500
DOUG:
Hey, Rick.
92
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:08,650
RICK:
Hey, guys.
93
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:11,459
DOUG:
We’ll let Danny fill you in
94
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:14,459
-on what’s been going on.
-DANNY: All right.
95
00:04:14,459 --> 00:04:16,572
We have 111 feet
of casing in the ground.
96
00:04:16,572 --> 00:04:20,090
And the oscillator pressure
is the highest it’s been
97
00:04:20,090 --> 00:04:23,750
since we’ve last year to this
year, we’re breaking records.
98
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:28,320
We’re flirting
with 210 bar right now.
99
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,630
What do you, what do you make
of that, though?
100
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:32,960
The real enigma is what are
we biting into that’s creating
101
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,510
those high torque pressures
on the oscillator?
102
00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:36,490
RICK:
We’re all hoping for something
103
00:04:36,490 --> 00:04:37,810
significant here, but I...
104
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:41,910
you know, we got to let
the facts tell the story.
105
00:04:41,910 --> 00:04:43,470
NARRATOR:
News that the massive
106
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:45,160
oscillator is circulating
107
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,819
at a torque pressure
of nearly 210 bar,
108
00:04:48,819 --> 00:04:51,600
over double its normal
operating pressure,
109
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,050
is a potentially
significant development.
110
00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:58,040
It indicates that
the 60-inch-wide steel caisson
111
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,680
is now drilling into
an extremely hard object
112
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,340
some 111 feet deep underground.
113
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:08,720
The question now becomes
whether the object is natural
114
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,110
or man-made.
115
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:12,900
PAUL:
Interesting thing is
116
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:14,490
we’re getting an assortment,
117
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:16,070
just like we did last time,
118
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:21,060
of many different types
of woods and shafts.
119
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:23,960
RICK:
That looks like oak.
120
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,960
It does, doesn’t it?
121
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,960
That’s what you’d think
in the Money Pit.
122
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,810
TERRY:
A lot of oak in and around here.
123
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:30,560
Can we see the cuts?
124
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,130
There’s an indication
of a saw direction.
125
00:05:33,130 --> 00:05:35,450
See that?
126
00:05:35,450 --> 00:05:37,630
Seems even more of a vertical
than a circular saw.
127
00:05:37,630 --> 00:05:39,520
NARRATOR:
Oak timbers?
128
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,160
Found at a depth of 111 feet?
129
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,669
As searchers began excavating
130
00:05:46,669 --> 00:05:49,900
the original Money Pit
more than two centuries ago,
131
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:51,919
they reported finding the first
132
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:55,000
of what would eventually be
nine oak platforms,
133
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,490
each ten feet deeper
than the last.
134
00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:01,510
Could these oak timbers found
in the spoils of GG-1
135
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:04,540
be evidence that the team has
finally found
136
00:06:04,540 --> 00:06:07,310
the original Money Pit
treasure shaft?
137
00:06:07,310 --> 00:06:10,090
PAUL:
So, the question is,
138
00:06:10,090 --> 00:06:11,440
with all this wood coming up,
139
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,260
do you want to put
another can on?
140
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:15,390
-Keep going? Okay.
-Oh, yeah. We have to.
141
00:06:15,390 --> 00:06:17,590
Yeah, we got
to continue going on.
142
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:19,120
Well, you can’t can’t stop now,
143
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,530
you got to figure out
what’s going on.
144
00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:27,290
NARRATOR:
As the excavation
145
00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:29,070
of borehole GG-1 continues...
146
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:31,880
Ooh! Wow,
it’s cold out here, Gary.
147
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,260
-Wait, hang on, mate.
Let’s put the seats down.
148
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:35,260

00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:39,330
GARY:
This clips on here.
153
00:06:39,330 --> 00:06:43,770
...are heading to the western
side of the island, to Lot 25.
154
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:47,860
It is one of nine
four-acre lots on the island
155
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:52,000
once owned by the former
American slave Samuel Ball.
156
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,310
-JACK: Right here?
-GARY: Here’s good.
157
00:06:55,310 --> 00:06:56,380

-Yeah.
158
00:06:56,380 --> 00:06:57,380
Ooh!
159
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,639
Where do you want to start?
160
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,060
GARY:
The edge of the lot.
161
00:07:04,060 --> 00:07:06,770
-The other side of the wall.
-Okay.
162
00:07:06,770 --> 00:07:09,100
NARRATOR:
In light of the recent
163
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,449
and significant finds
164
00:07:10,449 --> 00:07:13,560
made on the western side
of the island,
165
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,990
such as the lead fragments that
have been scientifically proven
166
00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:18,870
to be associated
with the medieval cross
167
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:22,160
found last year
at Smith’s Cove,
168
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,889
the team is hoping
that this side of the island,
169
00:07:24,889 --> 00:07:27,680
and perhaps Samuel Ball’s
former property,
170
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,110
will reveal more clues
that could help solve
171
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:33,180
the 223-year-old
treasure mystery.
172
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:35,280
GARY:
All right,
173
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,660
so we’ll see what we can find.
174
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:41,330
(beeping)
175
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:44,990
I’ve been all over Oak Island,
176
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:48,830
but these lots have always been
too thick to get in.
177
00:07:48,830 --> 00:07:53,229
But now they’re cleared,
there’s more ground opened up,
178
00:07:53,229 --> 00:07:56,310
and we’ve been finding
some good stuff.
179
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:57,550
(beeping)
180
00:07:57,550 --> 00:08:02,520
Wow, that sounds good.
181
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,700
This is iron,
but definitely worth a go at.
182
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,230
Good digging.
183
00:08:12,730 --> 00:08:14,389
JACK:
Now it’s gone?
184
00:08:14,889 --> 00:08:16,989
Should be out.
185
00:08:20,789 --> 00:08:22,889
-Whoa! Look at that.
-What?
186
00:08:22,889 --> 00:08:27,210
What - I have no idea
what that is, Gary.
187
00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:28,490
That is a lock.
188
00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:30,699
An old one, by the look of it.
189
00:08:30,699 --> 00:08:32,870
-Look at that.
-JACK: Oh, it is.
190
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:33,870
See those nails.
191
00:08:33,870 --> 00:08:35,470
-Look at that old nail
in there still.
192
00:08:35,470 --> 00:08:36,770
-JACK: Holy...
193
00:08:36,770 --> 00:08:38,359
GARY:
That is a lock plate.
194
00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:41,490
I mean, this would have been
on a box or a chest.
195
00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:43,289
Oh, definitely. I know!
196
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:44,809
That’s amazing, Gary.
197
00:08:44,809 --> 00:08:47,730
GARY:
This looks like an oldie to me.
198
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:50,490
-Oh, look, you can see
the keyhole. Look.
199
00:08:50,490 --> 00:08:51,490
-JACK: Yeah.
200
00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:53,189
NARRATOR:
A lock plate,
201
00:08:53,189 --> 00:08:54,940
from a possible chest?
202
00:08:54,940 --> 00:08:55,940
This is a good sign.
203
00:08:55,940 --> 00:08:57,329
NARRATOR:
Could it be from a chest
204
00:08:57,329 --> 00:08:59,660
once owned by Samuel Ball?
205
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:01,699
Or could it be
from one belonging
206
00:09:01,699 --> 00:09:03,110
to his former neighbor,
207
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:06,619
the 18th century privateer
Captain James Anderson?
208
00:09:06,619 --> 00:09:09,329
It makes you wonder
what was going on here.
209
00:09:09,329 --> 00:09:10,899
NARRATOR:
Reportedly born
210
00:09:10,899 --> 00:09:12,290
in Baltimore, Maryland,
211
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:14,750
Captain James Anderson
pledged his loyalty
212
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,490
to the United States
213
00:09:16,490 --> 00:09:20,869
during the American Revolution
in the late 1700s.
214
00:09:20,869 --> 00:09:24,920
However, after being
given command of a ship,
215
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,680
known as the Betsy, Anderson
defected to the British.
216
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:32,290
Although he was charged
with treason and piracy
217
00:09:32,290 --> 00:09:35,629
by then governor of Virginia
and future American president
218
00:09:35,629 --> 00:09:39,129
Thomas Jefferson,
Anderson escaped to Canada,
219
00:09:39,129 --> 00:09:43,410
where he purchased Lot 26
on Oak Island and lived there
220
00:09:43,410 --> 00:09:46,939
until he sold the property
to Samuel Ball in 1788.
221
00:09:46,939 --> 00:09:49,480
-Hey, Steve?
-Yes.
222
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,540
NARRATOR:
Just last year,
223
00:09:51,540 --> 00:09:53,980
members of the team
visited the nearby home
224
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:58,040
of James Anderson’s direct
descendent, Steve Atkinson.
225
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,730
There, Steve showed them one
of Anderson’s own sea chests,
226
00:10:03,730 --> 00:10:06,019
as well as a mysterious set
of keys.
227
00:10:06,019 --> 00:10:07,579
STEVE A.:
That one opens
228
00:10:07,579 --> 00:10:09,040
that treasure chest.
229
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,209
Could there have been more
treasure chests on the island?
230
00:10:11,209 --> 00:10:14,290
That’s what I wonder.
231
00:10:14,290 --> 00:10:16,079
NARRATOR:
Could this lock plate
232
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:17,209
be from a chest
233
00:10:17,209 --> 00:10:19,749
that once belonged
to Captain James Anderson?
234
00:10:19,749 --> 00:10:21,420
JACK:
Samuel Ball got rich
235
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:22,420
for a reason,
236
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:25,329
and if he was wealthy,
he had something worth hiding.
237
00:10:25,329 --> 00:10:28,240
GARY:
Ah, we’re cashing in.
238
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:33,569
DANNY:
Yeah! That’s what
239
00:10:33,569 --> 00:10:34,880
we’re looking for! big p.
240
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,140
NARRATOR:
At the Money Pit...
241
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,820
-Gentlemen.
-Hey, Craig. How you doing?
242
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,249
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina, Craig Tester
243
00:10:42,249 --> 00:10:43,249
and other members
244
00:10:43,249 --> 00:10:46,769
of the Oak Island team eagerly
monitor the excavation
245
00:10:46,769 --> 00:10:48,100
of borehole GG-1,
246
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:51,410
a borehole which they believe
may have intersected
247
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:53,350
with the original Money Pit
treasure shaft.
248
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:54,910
CRAIG:
What are we finding?
249
00:10:54,910 --> 00:10:56,430
PAUL:
Just a mix of everything.
250
00:10:56,430 --> 00:10:57,649
CRAIG:
How long have you been
251
00:10:57,649 --> 00:10:59,519
going through this wood?
252
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,569
Uh, about over ten feet.
253
00:11:02,569 --> 00:11:03,909
-Yeah.
-Okay.
254
00:11:03,909 --> 00:11:06,400
-Uh, let ’em dump this.
-Yeah.
255
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,240
(horn honking)
256
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,219
JARDINE:
Oh, wow. What’s that?
257
00:11:18,219 --> 00:11:19,899
PAUL:
Is that wood?
258
00:11:22,099 --> 00:11:23,799
DANNY:
Yeah!
259
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:24,799
JARDINE:
Oh, wow.
260
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:26,830
DANNY:
That’s what we’re looking for!
261
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,030
Whoa!
262
00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:31,530
Nice section right there.
263
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:33,510
That is large.
264
00:11:33,510 --> 00:11:36,470
DOUG:
And I don’t think we have
265
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:38,069
the full width of it there.
266
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:39,239
I think it split.
267
00:11:39,239 --> 00:11:40,989
Want to try knocking it off?
268
00:11:40,989 --> 00:11:41,989
RICK:
Let Danny just
269
00:11:41,989 --> 00:11:44,149
put the bucket on it.
270
00:11:44,149 --> 00:11:51,299
That is one big piece.
271
00:11:51,299 --> 00:11:54,389
Give it a try here?
(grunting)
272
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:57,249
Ooh, yeah.
273
00:11:59,649 --> 00:12:00,440
There we go.
274
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,470
Five-foot.
275
00:12:11,770 --> 00:12:14,209
CRAIG:
That’s an awful massive beam.
276
00:12:14,209 --> 00:12:15,729
TERRY:
That’s a big ol’ chunk of tree.
277
00:12:15,729 --> 00:12:17,209
CRAIG:
What kind of depth we at?
278
00:12:17,409 --> 00:12:20,799
One... 115 with the teeth,
279
00:12:20,899 --> 00:12:23,679
maybe 113 with the excavation.
280
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,999
NARRATOR:
A five-foot wooden beam
281
00:12:26,999 --> 00:12:29,160
found at a depth of 113 feet?
282
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,369
RICK:
Can you imagine getting that
283
00:12:32,369 --> 00:12:33,369
down at that depth?
284
00:12:33,369 --> 00:12:36,970
-Just the labor.
-I know. I know.
285
00:12:36,970 --> 00:12:39,199
-That is massive.
-Mind-boggling.
286
00:12:39,199 --> 00:12:41,029
CRAIG:
The way it came up, it could
287
00:12:41,029 --> 00:12:43,449
have been vertical at the time.
288
00:12:43,449 --> 00:12:44,699
Like it was part of a tunnel.
289
00:12:44,699 --> 00:12:46,730
How high was the Halifax tunnel?
290
00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:48,040
RICK:
This is roughly at the right
291
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,040
depth, is it not?
292
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,579
That’d be the Halifax tunnel.
293
00:12:51,579 --> 00:12:55,239
NARRATOR:
In 1867, searchers from
294
00:12:55,239 --> 00:12:56,679
the Halifax Company
295
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,019
dug a large shaft
some 200 feet southeast
296
00:13:00,019 --> 00:13:02,850
of the original Money Pit.
297
00:13:02,850 --> 00:13:07,129
After reaching a depth of 110
feet, they constructed a tunnel
298
00:13:07,129 --> 00:13:09,980
heading in a northwest
direction in the hopes of
299
00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:13,630
reaching the treasure vault
from the side.
300
00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:16,380
Several feet short of their
target, they encountered
301
00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:19,379
what they reported to be a
two-and-a-half-foot-wide
302
00:13:19,379 --> 00:13:21,239
by four-foot-tall flood tunnel
303
00:13:21,239 --> 00:13:24,860
that was filled
with rounded stones.
304
00:13:24,860 --> 00:13:27,720
Although it was
a major discovery,
305
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,759
unfortunately for
the Halifax Company,
306
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:33,139
breaching the booby trap
thwarted their efforts,
307
00:13:33,139 --> 00:13:35,930
and by the following year, they
no longer had the financial
308
00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:38,110
resources to continue
operations.
309
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:42,959
Could it be that Rick, Craig
and the team were wrong
310
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:44,920
in their previous assessment,
311
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,029
that they had intercepted
the original Money Pit?
312
00:13:48,029 --> 00:13:51,959
Is it possible that the timbers
they uncovered in borehole GG-1
313
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:53,949
are actually the remains
of an abandoned
314
00:13:53,949 --> 00:13:56,010
19th century searcher tunnel?
315
00:13:56,010 --> 00:13:58,990
It’s all great news
from a historical perspective,
316
00:13:58,990 --> 00:14:04,370
but sad, because then we’re in,
we’re in already-worked ground.
317
00:14:04,370 --> 00:14:07,470
What do you think about going
to whatever depth?
318
00:14:07,470 --> 00:14:09,360
CRAIG:
Yeah, I’d like to take it
319
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,279
as deep as we can.
320
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:11,759
PAUL:
Be interesting to find out
321
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:14,089
what we have.
322
00:14:14,689 --> 00:14:16,309
RICK:
Tomorrow’s another day.
323
00:14:16,309 --> 00:14:17,269
CRAIG:
Yeah.
324
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:29,279
NARRATOR:
The next morning,
325
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:30,559
as the excavation
326
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,999
of borehole GG-1 continues
at the Money Pit site...
327
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:35,339
TERRY:
Hey, Billy.
328
00:14:35,339 --> 00:14:37,270
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina, his partner
329
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:38,490
Craig Tester,
330
00:14:38,490 --> 00:14:40,769
and geologist
Terry Matheson meet
331
00:14:40,769 --> 00:14:44,529
with heavy equipment operator
Billy Gerhardt at Smith’s Cove.
332
00:14:44,529 --> 00:14:46,399
Beautiful day for shorts.
333
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:47,799
-It is.
-(laughter)
334
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:50,269
NARRATOR:
With the days getting shorter,
335
00:14:50,269 --> 00:14:52,250
and with just a few weeks
remaining before
336
00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:54,079
major operations on the island
337
00:14:54,079 --> 00:14:56,279
must shut down
for the winter,
338
00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:59,670
Rick Lagina and his partners
are determined to excavate
339
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:02,989
beneath the massive
6,000-square-foot crane pad
340
00:15:02,989 --> 00:15:05,649
and make what could be their
greatest breakthrough yet.
341
00:15:05,649 --> 00:15:08,399
Do you think you’ll have
the crane pad out today yet?
342
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:09,970
Well, there’s the edge
of the crane pad.
343
00:15:09,970 --> 00:15:11,439
We took a little of the edge,
and I have a little of this
344
00:15:11,439 --> 00:15:12,810
top section to go yet.
345
00:15:12,810 --> 00:15:15,100
You have any holes open
right now, or...
346
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,999
Uh, there’s a hole there
in the corner,
347
00:15:17,999 --> 00:15:19,879
and there’s - we’re down to
horizon up here
348
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:21,379
-where those excavator
scratches are.
349
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:22,379
-Okay.
350
00:15:22,379 --> 00:15:24,600
There’s definitely more water,
it appears, in this corner
351
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,670
-than anywhere else.
-RICK: Yeah, it has.
352
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:26,709
It’s making a lot of water.
353
00:15:26,709 --> 00:15:28,299
Yeah, there are some
steady streams here
354
00:15:28,299 --> 00:15:30,160
that are running, you know,
pretty full-on.
355
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,929
RICK:
That’s a lot of water.
356
00:15:31,929 --> 00:15:35,589
Well, you know, to me,
the dye coming out
357
00:15:35,589 --> 00:15:38,609
in this water right through here
indicates, you know,
358
00:15:38,609 --> 00:15:40,100
is it part of the flood system?
359
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:42,069
Let’s do this.
360
00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:44,549
NARRATOR:
Four weeks ago,
361
00:15:44,549 --> 00:15:47,439
the Oak Island team conducted
a major operation
362
00:15:47,439 --> 00:15:49,480
that involved pumping
thousands of gallons
363
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,850
of water,
colored with nontoxic red dye,
364
00:15:52,850 --> 00:15:54,359
down borehole C-1.
365
00:15:54,359 --> 00:15:57,009
-MARTY: The dye has been cast.
-Copy that.
366
00:15:57,009 --> 00:15:58,220
NARRATOR:
They were attempting
367
00:15:58,220 --> 00:15:59,689
to locate the entrance
368
00:15:59,689 --> 00:16:02,819
of one or more flood tunnels
believed to be protecting
369
00:16:02,819 --> 00:16:04,309
the Money Pit treasure vault.
370
00:16:04,309 --> 00:16:06,899
Have you guys spotted
anything yet?
371
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:09,189
NARRATOR:
Just a few hours later,
372
00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:10,379
metal detection expert
373
00:16:10,379 --> 00:16:13,899
Gary Drayton found that
red-colored water had begun
374
00:16:13,899 --> 00:16:16,499
seeping out of the ground
at Smith’s Cove
375
00:16:16,499 --> 00:16:18,930
from beneath the crane pad
that had been put in place
376
00:16:18,930 --> 00:16:23,790
to construct the 525-foot steel
cofferdam surrounding the area.
377
00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:27,649
If we’re looking for red, guys,
I’d say that’s red.
378
00:16:27,649 --> 00:16:30,029
NARRATOR:
It is the team’s belief
379
00:16:30,029 --> 00:16:31,579
that this water,
380
00:16:31,579 --> 00:16:34,660
which tested positive
for traces of the dye,
381
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:36,709
indicated they may have
discovered the site
382
00:16:36,709 --> 00:16:38,600
of the so-called
convergence point--
383
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,899
the place where the five
stone box drains,
384
00:16:41,899 --> 00:16:44,079
first discovered in 1850,
385
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:46,930
are believed to merge into
a single flood tunnel.
386
00:16:46,930 --> 00:16:49,669
A flood tunnel that should
lead them directly
387
00:16:49,669 --> 00:16:51,940
to the Money Pit
treasure vault.
388
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:56,189
If we can find one arm
of that old drain system,
389
00:16:56,189 --> 00:16:58,489
and that’s what’s leaking
the water right here,
390
00:16:58,489 --> 00:16:59,629
that’d be fantastic.
391
00:16:59,629 --> 00:17:02,209
Yeah. I mean, at some point,
they’re going to converge,
392
00:17:02,209 --> 00:17:03,759
and then we’re really
onto something.
393
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,180
-Mm-hmm.
How much more of the crane pad
394
00:17:06,180 --> 00:17:07,180
do you want to remove
395
00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:09,360
before we start cutting these...
these trenches?
396
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,820
Uh, I think we can remove
all of it.
397
00:17:11,820 --> 00:17:13,090
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
398
00:17:13,090 --> 00:17:15,810
It bodes well that
there’s something to be learned
399
00:17:15,810 --> 00:17:16,910
underneath the crane pad.
400
00:17:16,910 --> 00:17:18,780
It’s just unfortunate
that it’s there, but...
401
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:21,710
We have to dig under the
crane pad for a couple reasons.
402
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:23,360
One is the obvious:
it’s unknown.
403
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:24,560
We haven’t dug there yet.
404
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,070
So there’s the unknown factor.
405
00:17:26,070 --> 00:17:28,120
There’s the fact that the
406
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:30,520
If there was a drain system,
it would be converging
407
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,870
very near that point.
408
00:17:31,870 --> 00:17:34,740
So, we have to look under there,
and we don’t have much time.
409
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:35,740
-Okay.
-Okay.
410
00:17:35,740 --> 00:17:36,740
-All right.
411
00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:38,930
-See you in a little bit.
-Thank you, Billy.
412
00:17:38,930 --> 00:17:42,770
-Very good.
-See you in a bit.
413
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:44,630
NARRATOR:
As the operation to remove
414
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:46,370
the crane pad continues
415
00:17:46,370 --> 00:17:47,810
at Smith’s Cove...
416
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:49,250
DOUG:
Hey, Rick.
417
00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:51,290
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina joins
418
00:17:51,290 --> 00:17:52,290
Craig Tester
419
00:17:52,290 --> 00:17:54,330
and other members
of the Oak Island team
420
00:17:54,330 --> 00:17:56,280
at the Money Pit area.
421
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,020
They are eager to see if the
excavation of borehole GG-1
422
00:18:01,020 --> 00:18:03,760
has turned up any new evidence
that the team is drilling
423
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,610
in the vicinity of the original
treasure shaft.
424
00:18:06,610 --> 00:18:08,910
The dig’s at 159.
425
00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:11,460
And, uh, we’re not hitting much.
426
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:14,710
You know, we’re not
we haven’t gotten much wood.
427
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:17,480
That’s just, that’s the extent
of the wood we’ve found.
428
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,130
DOUG:
But he came out with so many
429
00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:20,990
empty grabs before that.
430
00:18:20,990 --> 00:18:23,830
TERRY:
Right around 155.5, we did ten
431
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:26,100
grabs and made about a foot.
432
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:30,910
The last few grabs that were
brought up had nothing in them.
433
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:32,660
RICK:
The dig’s at 159?
434
00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:33,660
159.
435
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:34,760
RICK:
Well, let’s see what
436
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,500
the next few come up with.
437
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:38,500
Yeah.
438
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:40,540
MARTY:
It’s a little bit disappointing
439
00:18:40,540 --> 00:18:41,540
in the lack
440
00:18:41,540 --> 00:18:42,880
of significant artifacts,
441
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,830
from a discovery process.
442
00:18:44,830 --> 00:18:47,370
Anytime you work on Oak Island,
no matter what you’re doing,
443
00:18:47,370 --> 00:18:48,370
whether we’re digging,
drilling, exploring,
444
00:18:48,370 --> 00:18:52,660
you know, your expectation level
is way up here. You know?
445
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:54,890
It’s always, "Today’s the day.
Aha! There it’ll be."
446
00:18:54,890 --> 00:18:57,350
And we don’t have that yet.
447
00:18:59,950 --> 00:19:00,810
RICK:
There we go.
448
00:19:03,210 --> 00:19:04,240
Come on, baby.
449
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,620
No.
450
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,620
Nothing in that one.
451
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,050
We need to make a decision.
452
00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:25,250
Yeah, I agree.
453
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:28,650
I’d call it.
At this point, we’re...
454
00:19:28,650 --> 00:19:31,800
-we’re running tight
up against it, right?
455
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,800
-Yes.
456
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,800
Time is our biggest enemy
right now.
457
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,310
And if we can save some time
by cutting this off...
458
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:38,410
NARRATOR:
Because Rick and the team
459
00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:39,780
believe they are now drilling
460
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:42,340
in an area explored
by previous searchers,
461
00:19:42,340 --> 00:19:44,950
they see no reason
to continue excavating
462
00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:45,950
in borehole GG-1.
463
00:19:45,950 --> 00:19:48,030
Mike, we’re ready
to call it quits.
464
00:19:48,030 --> 00:19:50,380
-Shut this one down?
-Yeah.
465
00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:53,200
-Okay.
-We’re ready to move on.
466
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,200
-Sure.
-Okay.
467
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,670
NARRATOR:
After weeks of careful research
468
00:19:56,670 --> 00:19:59,200
indicating that this was
the most likely location
469
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,680
of the original Money Pit,
470
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,850
shutting the hole down deals
a devastating blow
471
00:20:03,850 --> 00:20:08,500
to the Laginas, their partners
and everyone on the island.
472
00:20:14,101 --> 00:20:15,275
One day after need
473
00:20:16,190 --> 00:20:17,551
excavation of borehole GG-1...
474
00:20:17,551 --> 00:20:19,830
RICK:
I’ll introduce you to everyone.
475
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:21,620
Gentlemen...
476
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:23,000
this is Rich Moats.
477
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,500
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina has invited
478
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,220
archeoastronomer Rich Moats
479
00:20:27,220 --> 00:20:31,950
to the war room for a meeting
with the Oak Island team.
480
00:20:31,950 --> 00:20:33,970
After having spent
a great deal of time
481
00:20:33,970 --> 00:20:35,800
working with Rick’s
close friend,
482
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,580
the late author and researcher,
Zena Halpern,
483
00:20:39,580 --> 00:20:41,850
Rich has recently
developed a theory
484
00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:44,510
which he believes
may help the team find
485
00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:47,391
the precise location
of the Money Pit’s
486
00:20:47,391 --> 00:20:48,391
original treasure shaft.
487
00:20:48,391 --> 00:20:54,380
Gentlemen, I thank you for
asking me to come here today.
488
00:20:54,380 --> 00:20:56,710
I think that what I’m
about to show you
489
00:20:56,710 --> 00:21:00,950
is going to help you greatly in
what you’re trying to do here.
490
00:21:00,950 --> 00:21:04,320
What I am about to show you
is my analysis
491
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,830
of Nolan’s Cross.
492
00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:09,700
As we look at the
overall view of the island
493
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:11,370
and then move in closer,
494
00:21:11,370 --> 00:21:14,620
uh, here is, um, a shot
495
00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:16,650
of the five stones
496
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:21,080
that comprise Nolan’s Cross.
497
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,680
NARRATOR:
In 1981,
498
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,060
Oak Island treasure hunter
Fred Nolan
499
00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:28,890
made the astonishing discovery
500
00:21:28,890 --> 00:21:30,750
of five cone-shaped boulders
501
00:21:30,750 --> 00:21:32,750
which, when connected together,
502
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:38,350
formed a giant,
perfectly symmetrical cross.
503
00:21:38,350 --> 00:21:39,930
Although
some researchers believe
504
00:21:39,930 --> 00:21:42,910
that Nolan’s Cross
represents a religious
505
00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:45,480
and most likely
Christian symbol,
506
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,730
just who made
the megalithic formation
507
00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:51,610
and for what purpose
remains a mystery.
508
00:21:51,610 --> 00:21:54,830
All of these stones, uh...
509
00:21:54,830 --> 00:21:56,520
were selected and shaped
510
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,430
to be roughly
the same size and shape
511
00:22:00,430 --> 00:22:02,500
and stand six-foot
above the ground.
512
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:05,730
They were often called cones.
513
00:22:05,730 --> 00:22:07,890
There are only five stones
514
00:22:07,890 --> 00:22:11,510
on this island
of that size and shape.
515
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:13,330
There are no other stones,
516
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:15,110
to my understanding,
517
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:17,240
that are conical shaped
518
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,950
and of the same size,
is that correct?
519
00:22:19,950 --> 00:22:23,190
There are
significant-sized boulders,
520
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:25,620
but as you say,
shaped like that?
521
00:22:25,620 --> 00:22:27,750
I don’t know of any.
522
00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:30,020
I-I haven’t seen any.
523
00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:32,720
So, that brings to the question:
524
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,270
why was Nolan’s Cross
constructed?
525
00:22:36,270 --> 00:22:39,330
Nolan’s Cross was constructed
by engineers with
526
00:22:39,330 --> 00:22:43,190
ocean navigation capability
’cause it’s how they got there.
527
00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:44,400
-I see.
-RICH: Okay.
528
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,150
That was their technology.
529
00:22:46,150 --> 00:22:47,390
That was their science.
530
00:22:47,390 --> 00:22:49,740
We forget about that now.
531
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:52,350
You know, back in the day,
532
00:22:52,350 --> 00:22:54,010
-navigating by the stars...
-Yeah.
533
00:22:54,010 --> 00:22:57,510
-That was what you did.
-RICH: Exactly.
534
00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:59,650
Nolan’s Cross provides a means
535
00:22:59,650 --> 00:23:03,460
of relocating specific places
on the island
536
00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:06,490
by using navigation principles
537
00:23:06,490 --> 00:23:08,790
along with markers
that could not
538
00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:12,170
be changed by natural processes.
539
00:23:12,170 --> 00:23:13,860
They were using sunrises
540
00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:16,810
and the stars
for terrestrial navigation.
541
00:23:16,810 --> 00:23:17,940
Okay?
542
00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:22,010
The association of Nolan’s Cross
with the Christian cross
543
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:24,360
suggests a group of people,
544
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:29,000
highly motivated by a fervent
Christian belief system,
545
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,660
constructed Nolan’s Cross.
546
00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:34,540
Together, this points
to a subgroup
547
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:35,970
of sailors and navigators
548
00:23:35,970 --> 00:23:39,390
I believe known
as the Knights Templar.
549
00:23:39,390 --> 00:23:42,820
NARRATOR:
It is believed by many,
550
00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:44,470
including some of the Mi’kmaqs,
551
00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:47,240
the first nation people
of Nova Scotia,
552
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,900
that members
of the Knights Templar
553
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:51,030
sailed from Europe
to North America
554
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:54,610
as early as the 14th century.
555
00:23:54,610 --> 00:23:55,610
According to them,
556
00:23:55,610 --> 00:23:57,570
the Templars arrived
on Oak Island
557
00:23:57,570 --> 00:23:59,520
and constructed
what is now known
558
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,710
as the Money Pit.
559
00:24:00,710 --> 00:24:03,020
There, they hid a vast treasure
560
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:04,120
that they had accumulated
561
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:06,630
during their years
in the Holy Land,
562
00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:10,470
including the golden menorah
from King Solomon’s Temple,
563
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:11,470
the Holy Grail
564
00:24:11,470 --> 00:24:15,370
and even
the Ark of the Covenant.
565
00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:17,570
Nolan’s Cross is a device
566
00:24:17,570 --> 00:24:19,850
so large that its true purpose
567
00:24:19,850 --> 00:24:22,480
would not be easily recognized.
568
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,040
RICK:
The other thing
569
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,650
about Nolan’s Cross is...
570
00:24:25,650 --> 00:24:27,410
the permanence of the structure.
571
00:24:27,410 --> 00:24:30,220
What is the one way,
long ago, that you’re guaranteed
572
00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:32,160
that your map...
573
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,990
stays where it’s needed to be?
574
00:24:34,990 --> 00:24:36,620
You use large stones.
575
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:39,200
And you use the word "map."
576
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,770
Conversely,
it’s not written on paper.
577
00:24:41,770 --> 00:24:43,900
They didn’t
have to write it on paper.
578
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:47,020
All that had to be done
was the knowledge
579
00:24:47,020 --> 00:24:51,740
maintained as to what
the stones did.
580
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:52,740
Mm-hmm.
581
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:57,500
Here are the stones
making up Nolan’s Cross.
582
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:59,330
If you extend the sight line
583
00:24:59,330 --> 00:25:02,550
C through stone A,
584
00:25:02,550 --> 00:25:05,400
and you extend a line from
585
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,810
stone D across stone B...
586
00:25:07,810 --> 00:25:09,550
Don’t tell me that lines up.
587
00:25:09,550 --> 00:25:13,130
RICH:
They intersect at one location.
588
00:25:13,130 --> 00:25:16,100
MARTY:
Wow.
589
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,080
(chuckles softly)
590
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,830
Stone E across stone B
591
00:25:20,830 --> 00:25:25,700
intersects at
a different location.
592
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:28,400
Those are possible
places to look...
593
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,520
for what you might be
looking for.
594
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,300
NARRATOR:
According to
595
00:25:33,300 --> 00:25:34,620
Rich Moats’ theory,
596
00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:36,360
by tracing
the sight lines between
597
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,560
each stone of Nolan’s Cross,
598
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,490
there are four
potential target sites
599
00:25:40,490 --> 00:25:43,350
in and around
the Money Pit area.
600
00:25:43,350 --> 00:25:44,880
One of which, Rich believes,
601
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,130
is the location
of the original treasure shaft.
602
00:25:48,130 --> 00:25:51,430
I have already given you
603
00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:53,920
places where I hope
you would search,
604
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,700
but the most important
of these...
605
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:58,290
is "Site Three."
606
00:25:58,290 --> 00:26:00,120
I strongly implore you
607
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:04,030
to search the earth
to see what may be there.
608
00:26:04,030 --> 00:26:06,030
RICK:
First, I want to say thank you.
609
00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:07,220
We’re certainly intrigued,
610
00:26:07,220 --> 00:26:11,060
’cause you’ve been kind enough
to give us proper coordinates.
611
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:13,390
NARRATOR:
Could Rich Moats’
612
00:26:13,390 --> 00:26:15,510
incredible theory be true?
613
00:26:15,510 --> 00:26:17,930
Is Nolan’s Cross really part
614
00:26:17,930 --> 00:26:20,590
of an ingenious treasure map
created by
615
00:26:20,590 --> 00:26:23,440
members of the Knights Templar
centuries ago?
616
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,010
And if so, could this explain
the lead cross
617
00:26:27,010 --> 00:26:30,370
and other artifacts that
the team has recently found
618
00:26:30,370 --> 00:26:32,000
and scientifically traced
619
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,270
to a 14th century lead mine
620
00:26:34,270 --> 00:26:35,940
in Southern France?
621
00:26:35,940 --> 00:26:38,390
RICK:
He’s bringing all this
622
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:40,260
disparate information to bear
623
00:26:40,260 --> 00:26:41,670
and he’s come up
with this theory
624
00:26:41,670 --> 00:26:43,620
that indeed, Nolan’s Cross
625
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:45,540
is a map on top of the ground.
626
00:26:45,540 --> 00:26:48,730
Many, many theorists
have suggested that.
627
00:26:48,730 --> 00:26:51,580
Not a single one of them
have done what Rich has done.
628
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:54,480
Rich actually puts
X marks the spot
629
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,830
on the ground, on Oak Island.
630
00:26:56,830 --> 00:26:58,030
We appreciate everything
you’ve done.
631
00:26:58,030 --> 00:26:59,980
GARY:
That was fascinating.
632
00:26:59,980 --> 00:27:03,810
-RICK: Yep, absolutely stunning.
-You’re welcome. Thank you, sir.
633
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:10,340
NARRATOR:
One day after the team’s
634
00:27:10,340 --> 00:27:11,340
meeting with
635
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:12,710
Oak Island theorist
Rich Moats...
636
00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:14,670
-CRAIG: Morning, Mike.
-Morning, Craig.
637
00:27:14,670 --> 00:27:16,560
-How are you this morning?
-Good, yourself?
638
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,560
Oh, not bad.
639
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,430
...Craig Tester arrives
at the new
640
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:20,580
60-inch-wide borehole
641
00:27:20,580 --> 00:27:23,559
that Rich had designated
as Site Three,
642
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:26,450
and where the Oak Island team
hopes will find evidence
643
00:27:26,450 --> 00:27:28,570
of the original
Money Pit treasure shaft.
644
00:27:28,570 --> 00:27:31,500
-Hey, Craig, how you doing?
-Good.
645
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:32,500
-Freezing.
-So...
646
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:36,400
-the teeth are at
33 feet below grade.
647
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,400
-Okay.
648
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,940
The dig, uh, five-foot of plug,
649
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:41,610
so the dig is at, uh, 28 feet.
650
00:27:41,610 --> 00:27:43,180
The hammer grab
seems to be bringing up
651
00:27:43,180 --> 00:27:45,630
an awful lot of timber.
652
00:27:45,630 --> 00:27:46,860
From about eight feet down.
653
00:27:46,860 --> 00:27:47,880
CRAIG:
Well, that’s expected.
654
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,910
So we should be
655
00:27:48,910 --> 00:27:51,800
in it for a while,
but then once we get
656
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,920
down to the important areas,
the 100-foot range and below.
657
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
-It’s a great spot.
-Okay.
658
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,471
It’s an unknown territory
by degrees.
659
00:27:59,471 --> 00:28:02,860
NARRATOR:
As the team continues
660
00:28:02,860 --> 00:28:05,450
their excavation
at Site Three...
661
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:07,200
BILLY:
The water is coming
662
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,300
right here for sure.
663
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:10,270
-RICK: Under the crane pad?
-CHARLES: Yeah.
664
00:28:10,270 --> 00:28:12,980
...brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina,
665
00:28:12,980 --> 00:28:14,990
along with Charles Barkhouse,
666
00:28:14,990 --> 00:28:16,480
arrive at Smith’s Cove.
667
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,560
They are responding to news
that heavy equipment operator
668
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,470
Billy Gerhardt may have made
a potentially important
669
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:24,260
discovery at the beach.
670
00:28:24,260 --> 00:28:27,370
So that water was leaking out
more like there
671
00:28:27,370 --> 00:28:28,370
-than here, right?
BILLY: It was leaking out
672
00:28:28,370 --> 00:28:29,370
there,
673
00:28:29,370 --> 00:28:30,370
but the source is somewheres
674
00:28:30,370 --> 00:28:32,290
right in this general area.
675
00:28:32,290 --> 00:28:33,770
-CHARLES: See it pouring
right there.
676
00:28:33,770 --> 00:28:34,770
-BILLY: Yeah.
677
00:28:34,770 --> 00:28:35,990
CHARLES:
Right near your left foot.
678
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:38,820
And there’s some timbers
in there, too.
679
00:28:38,820 --> 00:28:40,250
(Rick grunting)
680
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:43,700
Obviously we got into
something here,
681
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:45,760
-though, right?
-RICK: Definitely something.
682
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,920
MARTY:
Where did the crane pad
683
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,200
come out to,
Billy, about right here?
684
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,790
Uh, there where
that foot-and-a-half boulder is.
685
00:28:52,790 --> 00:28:54,270
RICK:
Well, there’s a bunch more
686
00:28:54,270 --> 00:28:55,550
boards in there.
687
00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:57,670
BILLY:
It looks like the wood
688
00:28:57,670 --> 00:29:00,170
is a foot deep
under the crane pad.
689
00:29:00,170 --> 00:29:02,510
NARRATOR:
Wood?
690
00:29:02,510 --> 00:29:06,700
Buried as much as one foot deep
beneath the crane pad?
691
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:07,700
Could it be the remnants
692
00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:10,040
of yet another
man-made structure?
693
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,890
If so, is it one put there
by a previous searcher
694
00:29:13,890 --> 00:29:17,670
or by someone much earlier?
695
00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:20,000
And could it be associated
with the flood tunnel
696
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,200
believed to lead directly to
the Money Pit treasure vault?
697
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,330
There’s another board here.
698
00:29:27,330 --> 00:29:28,650
BILLY:
It looks like a structure.
699
00:29:28,650 --> 00:29:30,460
-CHARLES: Yeah, right in here.
-RICK: Yeah.
700
00:29:30,460 --> 00:29:32,420
I suppose there’s a possibility
701
00:29:32,420 --> 00:29:34,350
someone thought they found
the flood tunnel,
702
00:29:34,350 --> 00:29:35,470
tried to block it right here.
703
00:29:35,470 --> 00:29:36,470
CHARLES:
Yeah.
704
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:38,690
RICK:
Well, I would say...
705
00:29:38,690 --> 00:29:40,760
-keep digging.
-BILLY: Yeah.
706
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:47,550
-I’d just dig it real slow.
-MARTY: I would.
707
00:29:47,550 --> 00:29:54,950
-CHARLES: Yeah.
-So let’s keep digging, Billy.
708
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:57,150
Hope springs eternal
every time somebody says,
709
00:29:57,150 --> 00:29:58,320
"Hey, we got
a new structure, we got
710
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360
a new find, you better
come here and look."
711
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,440
It’s always exciting.
712
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,740
I think it’s reasonably likely
713
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:05,680
that the crane pad
was obscuring
714
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,660
some significant answers.
715
00:30:07,660 --> 00:30:11,450
-RICK: Hey, Gary.
-Anything exciting going on?
716
00:30:11,450 --> 00:30:12,490
MARTY:
We just pulled a bunch
717
00:30:12,490 --> 00:30:13,650
of planks out of there, so
we’re thinking it might be time
718
00:30:13,650 --> 00:30:15,020
to do a quick sweep.
719
00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:16,170
GARY:
Okay.
720
00:30:16,170 --> 00:30:19,059
CHARLES:
Oh, look at here.
721
00:30:19,059 --> 00:30:21,030
See a crosspiece on it, now.
722
00:30:21,030 --> 00:30:22,300
And there’s one
going in that way.
723
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:24,030
-GARY: Yeah.
CHARLES: you got All that
724
00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:25,030
water behind it.
725
00:30:25,030 --> 00:30:26,030
GARY:
I think you got
726
00:30:26,030 --> 00:30:27,030
your answer there.
727
00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:29,000
The water’s running,
they tried to stop the water.
728
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:36,040
RICK:
That’s a brace,
729
00:30:36,140 --> 00:30:37,170
that’s not the wall,
730
00:30:37,170 --> 00:30:38,360
so it probably
goes back further.
731
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,960
CHARLES:
Yeah.
732
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,360
RICK:
I don’t know
733
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,260
what to make of it.
734
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:45,830
Why so many structures
735
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:48,290
in a very confined space.
736
00:30:48,290 --> 00:30:50,690
I-It’s hard to fathom.
737
00:30:50,690 --> 00:30:53,550
And there’s still one
yet to uncover.
738
00:30:53,550 --> 00:30:55,770
That may give us, uh,
a little more insight
739
00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:57,850
as to what actually
occurs between
740
00:30:57,850 --> 00:30:59,340
Smith’s Cove and the Money Pit.
741
00:30:59,340 --> 00:31:01,800
Looks like you’ve really opened
the floodgates, now.
742
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,429
Maybe it is a floodgate.
743
00:31:10,229 --> 00:31:11,370
One day after discovery
744
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:14,960
of a possible floodgate
at Smith’s Cove,
745
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,510
Craig Tester,
historian Paul Troutman
746
00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:19,770
and geologist Terry Matheson,
747
00:31:19,770 --> 00:31:21,420
returned to the Money Pit area
748
00:31:21,420 --> 00:31:23,970
to monitor the progress
at Site Three.
749
00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:26,440
CRAIG:
So where we at?
750
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,550
DANNY:
So, I’d say eight feet an hour.
751
00:31:30,550 --> 00:31:33,809
-Half an hour would be 104.
-Yeah.
752
00:31:33,809 --> 00:31:34,810
NARRATOR:
Since beginning
753
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:35,810
to dig the shaft
754
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:37,830
just two days ago,
755
00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:40,670
the Oak Island team has now
finally reached a depth
756
00:31:40,670 --> 00:31:42,640
of approximately 100 feet.
757
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,990
-You guys will be able to make
a house here pretty soon.
758
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:48,990
-Yeah.
759
00:31:48,990 --> 00:31:51,360
And is it Chappell or is it
just some other...
760
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,050
This one is.
A Hedden or a Chappell.
761
00:31:54,050 --> 00:31:55,790
-Clearly a six by six.
-Yeah.
762
00:31:55,790 --> 00:31:58,820
Whereas this one,
definitely hand-hewn.
763
00:32:00,021 --> 00:32:02,595
Yeah, little notches, holes
and imperfections.
764
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:08,350
-All kinds of more box joints.
-Yeah. Good notch hole
765
00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:09,410
on that one.
766
00:32:09,410 --> 00:32:10,470
CRAIG:
Yeah.
767
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:13,370
-That could be collapsing
of any of the old...
768
00:32:13,370 --> 00:32:14,620
-PAUL: The old shafts, yeah.
769
00:32:14,620 --> 00:32:16,230
We’re definitely
in a conglomeration of...
770
00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:18,120
-They were hewn by hand.
-Yeah.
771
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,540
-That says you’re going
back a ways.
772
00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:21,870
-That’s for sure.
773
00:32:21,870 --> 00:32:23,740
NARRATOR:
Hand-hewn wood?
774
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:26,050
Found at a depth of 104 feet
775
00:32:26,050 --> 00:32:29,070
in the Site Three borehole?
776
00:32:29,070 --> 00:32:31,390
Prior to the beginning
of the Industrial Revolution
777
00:32:31,390 --> 00:32:33,220
in the late 18th century,
778
00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:36,460
lumber used in construction
was cut manually,
779
00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:39,710
such as with an ax
or hand-operated saw.
780
00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:43,740
But could the hand-cut timbers
the team has just found
781
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:46,350
be remnants of an early attempt
by searchers
782
00:32:46,350 --> 00:32:49,460
to reach the bottom
of the original Money Pit?
783
00:32:49,460 --> 00:32:52,120
Or have they finally
found evidence
784
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,270
of the treasure shaft itself?
785
00:32:54,270 --> 00:33:00,860
TERRY:
Let’s see what’s up here.
786
00:33:00,860 --> 00:33:04,040
It’s just dominantly old wood.
787
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,040
Hand-hewn.
788
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,480
That’s a good chunk right there.
789
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,380
TERRY:
There’s a new one.
790
00:33:14,180 --> 00:33:15,380
Tongue joint.
791
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,670
Oh, that’s interesting.
792
00:33:21,470 --> 00:33:22,960
CRAIG:
That’s an interesting one.
793
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,350
Yeah.
You can see it on both ends.
794
00:33:24,350 --> 00:33:27,070
What the heck was that used for?
795
00:33:27,670 --> 00:33:30,809
I don’t know.
Between something, or...
796
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:34,680
-Perhaps a central support?
-Or up, over here? Or there?
797
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,680
Central support?
798
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,170
-Beam sitting on each side?
-For a tunnel, yeah.
799
00:33:37,170 --> 00:33:39,820
Maybe there was something
tunneling off all of a sudden.
800
00:33:39,820 --> 00:33:42,790
PAUL:
That’s encouraging. Out of all
801
00:33:42,790 --> 00:33:43,990
the ones we’ve been inside,
802
00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:46,270
this is-- I haven’t seen
anything like that.
803
00:33:46,270 --> 00:33:47,730
Look at the round
it’s rounded, hand-hewn, just...
804
00:33:47,730 --> 00:33:49,200
I mean,
what a significant effort.
805
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,000
NARRATOR:
Because the team believes
806
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
they’ve begun drilling
807
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,760
into some kind of tunnel
or wooden structure,
808
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,500
100 feet deep
in the Money Pit area...
809
00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:58,980
Dump it!
810
00:33:58,980 --> 00:34:00,470
...Alex Lagina,
811
00:34:00,470 --> 00:34:03,000
Jack Begley and Dan Henskee
812
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,370
will meticulously search the
spoils excavated from the shaft
813
00:34:06,370 --> 00:34:07,850
at the nearby wash table
814
00:34:07,850 --> 00:34:10,599
for any important
clues, artifacts,
815
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:12,730
and hopefully,
evidence of treasure.
816
00:34:12,730 --> 00:34:15,109
DAN H.:
Finding any pottery?
817
00:34:15,109 --> 00:34:17,970
-I haven’t seen any pottery.
-Yeah.
818
00:34:17,970 --> 00:34:20,460
-Well, that’s a different depth.
-Yeah.
819
00:34:20,460 --> 00:34:22,789
So if we find something
interesting, we know it is
820
00:34:22,789 --> 00:34:27,619
from relatively deep.
At least 100 feet down.
821
00:34:28,219 --> 00:34:29,219
Pottery?
822
00:34:32,319 --> 00:34:33,219
Pottery!
823
00:34:36,019 --> 00:34:37,149
ALEX:
Yeah, I think that’s...
824
00:34:37,149 --> 00:34:38,620
that’s definitely pottery.
825
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,999
DAN H.:
But it’s, it’s shattered
826
00:34:39,999 --> 00:34:41,599
little pieces broken off.
827
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:44,089
Like a teacup, or actually, a...
828
00:34:44,089 --> 00:34:45,580
Oh, you’re right,
’cause there is
829
00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:46,879
a little bit of glaze on this.
830
00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:49,720
Like a fine china teacup,
something like that?
831
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,379
ALEX:
Here, I’ll, uh, I’ll bag it up
832
00:34:52,379 --> 00:34:54,839
-and we can show it to Laird.
-Yeah.
833
00:34:59,539 --> 00:35:01,680
-Here’s your purple wood.
-Is it?
834
00:35:02,780 --> 00:35:03,880
-Yeah, definitely
purple looking.
835
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:04,880
-Yeah.
836
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:06,180
DAN H.:
Must be a... must be, like,
837
00:35:06,180 --> 00:35:07,180
fluorescent or something.
838
00:35:07,180 --> 00:35:09,289
-It looks much more purple
in the sunlight.
839
00:35:10,489 --> 00:35:11,489
-ALEX: Right.
840
00:35:11,489 --> 00:35:12,869
NARRATOR:
Purple wood?
841
00:35:12,869 --> 00:35:16,380
JACK:
Look at this, Dan.
842
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:17,380
Purple wood!
843
00:35:17,380 --> 00:35:19,450
NARRATOR:
Last year, while searching
844
00:35:19,450 --> 00:35:20,700
the spoils excavated
845
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:23,019
from the nearby borehole
known as H-8,
846
00:35:23,019 --> 00:35:25,480
Jack Begley and Dan Henskee
847
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,750
discovered strange pieces
of wood,
848
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:30,760
which appeared to be stained
the color purple.
849
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,619
How often was this
color purple used?
850
00:35:33,619 --> 00:35:36,440
Well, just in important,
uh, church documents
851
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,579
and royal documents.
852
00:35:38,579 --> 00:35:40,530
NARRATOR:
When the wood
853
00:35:40,530 --> 00:35:41,530
was later examined
854
00:35:41,530 --> 00:35:44,109
by medieval book expert
Joe Landry,
855
00:35:44,109 --> 00:35:46,760
the purple color was thought
to have been created
856
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,700
by means of an ancient dye
used in the production
857
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,670
of important books
and manuscripts
858
00:35:51,670 --> 00:35:54,299
throughout the Middle Ages.
859
00:35:54,299 --> 00:35:56,579
Could the presence
of this purple wood,
860
00:35:56,579 --> 00:35:58,619
found alongside pieces
of pottery,
861
00:35:58,619 --> 00:36:01,359
be evidence that the team
has in fact located
862
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:03,779
part of the original Money Pit?
863
00:36:03,779 --> 00:36:08,809
-PAUL: Oh, wow, look at that!
-DANNY: Look at that scoop!
864
00:36:08,809 --> 00:36:10,309
-Whoa-ho-ho!
-That’s quite the jumble.
865
00:36:10,609 --> 00:36:13,670
We haven’t encountered,
uh, pieces like this before
866
00:36:13,970 --> 00:36:16,190
that are this solid.
867
00:36:18,490 --> 00:36:19,859
What do you make of this, Craig?
868
00:36:20,059 --> 00:36:22,570
I saw that all come up.
869
00:36:22,570 --> 00:36:26,269
They came... these...
most of them came up vertical.
870
00:36:26,269 --> 00:36:27,390
-Those were vertical?
-Yeah.
871
00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:29,019
TERRY:
I like our chances of being
872
00:36:29,019 --> 00:36:31,390
in the collapsed structure
of the Money Pit.
873
00:36:31,390 --> 00:36:35,249
-Big brother!
-Where are we?
874
00:36:35,249 --> 00:36:36,519
CRAIG:
This is one of the last ones
875
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:37,650
brought up.
876
00:36:37,650 --> 00:36:40,299
MARTY:
You feel like
877
00:36:40,299 --> 00:36:41,999
any of this is oak?
878
00:36:41,999 --> 00:36:44,009
Uh, yeah, there’s
some of it looks like
879
00:36:44,009 --> 00:36:45,529
it has an oaken grain, yeah.
880
00:36:45,529 --> 00:36:47,289
CRAIG:
Yeah, then we get those things,
881
00:36:47,289 --> 00:36:48,920
which are obviously old.
882
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,269
TERRY:
Hand-hewn.
883
00:36:50,269 --> 00:36:53,069
What we were thinking
is varied materials
884
00:36:53,069 --> 00:36:55,160
cobbled together to hold the...
885
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,489
side of the actual
Money Pit together.
886
00:36:57,489 --> 00:37:01,940
-That’s good.
-Let’s cross our fingers.
887
00:37:01,940 --> 00:37:03,579
Is it, perhaps,
888
00:37:03,579 --> 00:37:04,960
part of the original Money Pit?
889
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,150
The only thing I can think of:
whoever built the Money Pit
890
00:37:07,150 --> 00:37:09,789
would have cared,
and oak would last better,
891
00:37:09,789 --> 00:37:12,549
would be heavier,
would be stronger, so if...
892
00:37:12,549 --> 00:37:16,230
if these anomalously
large timbers are oak,
893
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:19,100
then yeah, it could be part
of the original Money Pit.
894
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:20,740
Okay. Good.
895
00:37:20,740 --> 00:37:21,780
Keep going.
896
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:23,220
Find something.
897
00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:28,740
Yup.
898
00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:31,289
NARRATOR:
As a new day begins
899
00:37:31,289 --> 00:37:32,950
on Oak Island...
900
00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:35,400
brothers Rick and Marty Lagina,
901
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,710
along with their partner
Craig Tester,
902
00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:39,460
head back to the Money Pit area
903
00:37:39,460 --> 00:37:43,599
to continue supervising
the excavation of Site Three.
904
00:37:47,799 --> 00:37:49,700
MARTY:
Ominously quiet.
905
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:51,570
I’m not seeing anybody.
906
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:55,740
RICK:
What’s going on?
907
00:37:55,740 --> 00:37:57,829
CRAIG:
I don’t know.
908
00:37:57,829 --> 00:37:59,390
Hammer grab’s down.
909
00:37:59,390 --> 00:38:03,560
CRAIG:
That does not look good.
910
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:09,880
-(crickets chirping)
-No sounds.
911
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,460
Crickets.
912
00:38:11,460 --> 00:38:12,460
We got crickets.
913
00:38:12,460 --> 00:38:14,019
-Nobody’s working.
-CRAIG: Yeah.
914
00:38:14,019 --> 00:38:16,499
-MARTY: We’re in trouble.
-RICK: Yes.
915
00:38:16,499 --> 00:38:18,980
Mike’s here, though.
Let’s go in.
916
00:38:18,980 --> 00:38:23,839
-Yeah, let’s go in the trailer.
-RICK: Yup.
917
00:38:23,839 --> 00:38:25,430
As we pull onto the pad,
918
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:27,349
it is very clear
that nothing’s running.
919
00:38:27,349 --> 00:38:29,430
The men are gone.
920
00:38:29,430 --> 00:38:32,160
I mean, this looks serious.
921
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,760
Hey, Mike.
922
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,369
Morning, guys.
923
00:38:35,369 --> 00:38:36,980
RICK:
There’s something
924
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:37,980
going on, and...
925
00:38:37,980 --> 00:38:39,549
we want answers.
926
00:38:39,549 --> 00:38:42,079
MARTY:
Pretty quiet out there.
927
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:44,339
JARDINE:
Way too quiet for my likings.
928
00:38:44,339 --> 00:38:48,819
So, it’s a very
disappointing morning for me.
929
00:38:48,819 --> 00:38:49,880
-Right.
-Yeah.
930
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:50,890
We got the word
this morning that
931
00:38:50,890 --> 00:38:53,529
the crane operators...
932
00:38:53,529 --> 00:38:56,069
they are on strike.
933
00:38:56,069 --> 00:38:57,750
NARRATOR:
A strike?
934
00:38:57,750 --> 00:38:59,779
One that has shut down
935
00:38:59,779 --> 00:39:03,230
drilling operations
on Oak Island?
936
00:39:03,230 --> 00:39:05,789
Although the crane operators
at the Money Pit site
937
00:39:05,789 --> 00:39:08,430
are employed
by Irving Equipment Limited,
938
00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:09,749
their rates are regulated
939
00:39:09,749 --> 00:39:14,079
by the Nova Scotia Construction
Labor Relations Association.
940
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:16,790
Over the past 24 hours,
the union,
941
00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:19,809
which represents some
100 heavy machine operators
942
00:39:19,809 --> 00:39:22,609
throughout Nova Scotia,
went on strike
943
00:39:22,609 --> 00:39:25,910
due to wage issues unrelated
to the work on Oak Island.
944
00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:29,079
JARDINE:
I am in touch with my guys
945
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:30,410
back at the office
946
00:39:30,410 --> 00:39:32,450
that’s, you know,
digging into that to see
947
00:39:32,450 --> 00:39:34,779
what they can find out,
to see what we’re up against.
948
00:39:34,779 --> 00:39:37,089
-It’s just a waiting game.
-Mm-hmm.
949
00:39:37,089 --> 00:39:38,569
Uh, we know that...
950
00:39:38,569 --> 00:39:42,070
they are negotiating again
and-and... and they’re hoping
951
00:39:42,070 --> 00:39:46,349
to have this resolved
within 21 days.
952
00:39:46,349 --> 00:39:49,180
NARRATOR:
The fact that operations
953
00:39:49,180 --> 00:39:51,450
at the Money Pit site
cannot continue
954
00:39:51,450 --> 00:39:53,369
for what could be
the next three weeks
955
00:39:53,369 --> 00:39:58,690
offers yet another setback
for Rick, Marty and their team.
956
00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:01,040
The harsh winter weather is
already setting in...
957
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,259
and it won’t be long
before conditions on the island
958
00:40:05,259 --> 00:40:07,720
become too difficult
to resume drilling.
959
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:10,739
MARTY:
For me, it’s a big
960
00:40:10,739 --> 00:40:11,739
disappointment,
961
00:40:11,739 --> 00:40:12,900
because I want to put an X
through something,
962
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:14,279
and the Money Pit, you know,
963
00:40:14,279 --> 00:40:16,869
we’ve thrown a lot
of resources at it.
964
00:40:16,869 --> 00:40:18,319
We can’t proceed,
965
00:40:18,319 --> 00:40:21,930
and we are coming
tight up against some windows.
966
00:40:21,930 --> 00:40:24,970
We are running out of time.
967
00:40:24,970 --> 00:40:27,170
I think I speak
for these two guys.
968
00:40:27,170 --> 00:40:29,819
Um... we understand completely.
969
00:40:29,819 --> 00:40:32,029
-We just soldier through this.
-Yeah.
970
00:40:32,029 --> 00:40:35,000
I think we got to respect
the workers’ rights here.
971
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,570
-Yep.
-So, we’ll let this play out.
972
00:40:37,570 --> 00:40:39,040
-Yep, absolutely.
-MARTY: Okay.
973
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,869
Good. Thank you.
Appreciate it.
974
00:40:40,869 --> 00:40:43,070
-RICK: Thanks, Mike.
-JARDINE: Thanks, guys.
975
00:40:43,070 --> 00:40:45,670
NARRATOR:
For Rick, Marty and their team,
976
00:40:45,670 --> 00:40:47,780
the bitter realization
that their efforts
977
00:40:47,780 --> 00:40:51,440
to find the original Money Pit
have been halted by a strike
978
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,989
is both heartbreaking
and infuriating.
979
00:40:54,989 --> 00:40:56,229
Nevertheless...
980
00:40:56,229 --> 00:40:59,940
they are determined
to make the best of it.
981
00:40:59,940 --> 00:41:02,339
If experience
has taught them anything,
982
00:41:02,339 --> 00:41:04,849
it is that patience
and persistence
983
00:41:04,849 --> 00:41:07,780
are stronger
than any drilling caisson.
984
00:41:07,780 --> 00:41:11,029
They can now redouble
their exploration efforts
985
00:41:11,029 --> 00:41:13,220
at Smith’s Cove.
986
00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:17,339
They will also have time
to examine new theories...
987
00:41:17,339 --> 00:41:20,319
evaluate new evidence...
988
00:41:20,319 --> 00:41:23,460
and employ new methods of
reaching their ultimate goal:
989
00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:25,749
the discovery
of a treasure vault
990
00:41:25,749 --> 00:41:29,210
that has endured centuries
of setbacks,
991
00:41:29,210 --> 00:41:31,579
and whose secrets
have remained hidden,
992
00:41:31,579 --> 00:41:35,789
at least... for now.
993
00:41:35,789 --> 00:41:37,690
Next time on
The Curse of Oak Island...
994
00:41:37,690 --> 00:41:38,690
Look over there, Marty.
995
00:41:38,690 --> 00:41:40,180
-Is that a wall?
-RICK: Yep.
996
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,370
Yeah, there it is right there.
997
00:41:42,570 --> 00:41:44,010
I think it’s a shaft.
998
00:41:44,010 --> 00:41:46,160
-(beeping)
-JACK: I see it!
999
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,100
Yeah, that’s 1700s
all over it, mate.
1000
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:51,300
JAMES:
The Knights Baronet
1001
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:52,500
are connected
1002
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:53,450
to the Knights Templar,
1003
00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:55,400
and might be responsible
1004
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,359
for a treasure buried
on Oak Island.
1005
00:41:57,359 --> 00:41:59,069
GARY:
All right, here we go.
1006
00:41:59,069 --> 00:42:01,349
-What do you got?
-I don’t know yet,
1007
00:42:01,349 --> 00:42:02,590
but it looks shiny!
