Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...

There's even more
big boulders down there.

Here. Here.

Could that be Fred's wall?

- Ooh!
- What?

That's the find of the day!

There was a
button found on Lot 5,

similar on a Knight
of Malta uniform.

There's a chance
the Knights of Malta

- made it to Oak Island.
- Wow.

Cross your
fingers, gentlemen.

Where are we most
likely to bring up a piece of treasure?

Baby!

Shaft Six.

That's a grab.

There is an
island in the North Atlantic

where people have
been looking for

an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.

So far, they have
found a stone slab

with strange
symbols carved into it,

man-made workings that
date to medieval times,

and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected

to the Knights Templar.

To date, six men have died

trying to solve the mystery.

And according to legend,
one more will have to die

before the treasure
can be found.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Alex.

Just checking in.
How'd it go today?

It's
going really good.

Yep.

A chilly
fall morning has begun

on Oak Island

for brothers Rick and
Marty Lagina and their team.

It's quite different
than the last two holes

and we're just coming
off it on a bit of an angle.

However,

with a new excavation

well underway in the
fabled Money Pit area,

they may be hot on
the trail of the answers

to a 230-year-old
treasure mystery.

Yeah, we were talking about
the last casing that we did.

We ran out of the wood
approximately 117 feet.

Okay.

Today,
working with representatives

from ROC Equipment
and SB Canada,

the team is digging

a seven-foot-diameter
steel shaft

known as RP-3
which sets just north

of two recently
dug, identical shafts

labeled RP-2 and RP-1.

The previous, holes
were over Shaft Six.

And now we've
moved just outside of it.

So we're hoping to
see undisturbed material

'cause our target's a tunnel.
Is that what you've seen?

- Yes. Absolutely.
- Perfect.

In 1861,

treasure hunters
reportedly drilled

through two stacked
wooden chests

at a depth of some 110
feet in the original Money Pit,

containing what were
described as "metal in pieces."

Believing a mother lode of coins

and other possible
riches had been located,

but fearing that
they were protected

by a believed
man-made flood tunnel,

workers dug an adjacent
shaft, known as Shaft Six,

18 feet to the west down
to a depth of 118 feet.

From there, they began
tunneling toward the pit,

hoping to safely
recover the treasure

from below the flood trap.

It didn't work.

Just before
reaching their target,

seawater rushed in.

This caused tons
of wood cribbing

in the Money Pit to collapse...

crushing the chests and leaving

a believed debris
field of broken timbers

and scattered treasure in
the flooded Shaft Six tunnel.

So I'm thinking, as soon
as the teeth hit 100 feet,

- we should be ready for anything.
- Awesome.

Now, after
RP-1 and RP-2 both produced

pieces of timber
that may have come

from the original Money Pit

and several
mid-18th-century artifacts

such as French pottery
and a clay pipe stem,

the team is hoping that
RP-3 will make direct contact

with the Shaft Six tunnel

and the fabled treasure
it is believed to contain.

The priority we're using
to set caissons is very simple.

Where are we most likely to
bring up a piece of treasure?

Rick has a real high interest
in and around Shaft Six.

And given what we found

in RP-1 and RP-2, that may mean

that we're closing
in on the treasure.

I don't know
if I can walk away

from Shaft Six.

It might contain the one
thing. I still believe it's there.

So, last
measurement, we have,

67 feet for depth of hole.

We're looking really good
tomorrow to hopefully finish.

We should be set up for
our target zone tomorrow.

Yep.

Okay, guys, I'll leave you to it

so we can get started
first thing tomorrow.

- Yep. All right. Sounds good. Thank you.
- Thanks again.

- All right, Alex, we'll see you.
- See you.

As the
excavation of RP-3 proceeds

in the Money Pit area...

I know one thing.

Winter's not far behind.

It's a little bit nippy
out here today.

It's lovely.

Rick Lagina,

Jack Begley, and metal
detection expert Gary Drayton

are braving the elements

to search for additional
clues... and valuables...

in the northernmost
region of the swamp.

The agenda today
is cut this across,

look for artifacts, stakes,

- whatever we can find.
- Okay, mate.

- All right.
- Let's find something!

- Yep. Good luck.
- Good luck, Gary.

Let's go, Al!

The team was
stunned several years ago

when they uncovered
a massive stone road,

or ship's wharf,

in the southeast
corner of the swamp

that may be as much
as 500 years old,

as well as a vast paved
feature near its center

that has been dated
to as early as 1200 AD.

But this year, they have
uncovered numerous sections

of a cobblestone pathway

that was lined with
wooden survey stakes

and which led them to an empty

brick and slate
vault-like structure

in the northern region.

All of these finds have
given support to the theory

of the late Oak Island
landowner Fred Nolan,

who believed that the
swamp was created long ago

to hide numerous
caches of buried valuables.

Now, after already finding
more evidence of the pathway

in the northernmost
region of the bog,

they are hoping to
prove that Fred was right

and uncover additional vaults

that still contain
hidden riches.

That looks like C horizon,

but then there's the
organic layer underneath?

Almost like it's
been dug before.

You want to come over, Gar?

On my way.

We need to pay
attention to the soils.

Is it in situ, i.e. undisturbed?

Or has it been disturbed?

We may have found
evidence of human activity

that something was
done to hide something

for a lengthy period of time.

Someone's been
digging in this area.

- There's a mixture of materials.
- Yep.

Got some iron around here.

Best guesstimate
is just in there.

- Wow.
- That's some tough digging, innit?

- That it right there?
- Wood.

So it's a piece of wood,

with, more than likely...

Ooh! Look at that!

If you're looking
for a wharf pin,

that looks like a wharf pin.

Man. Look at that.

That's magnificent.

Evidence of a wooden
structure and possible wharf pin?

Yeah.

Has the team found
evidence of a second ship's wharf,

located some four feet deep

in the northern
region of the swamp?

If so, was it connected to
the cobblestone pathway?

And perhaps a buried vault,

like the one uncovered
earlier this year

just several yards to the south?

Take a little more out 'cause
we're still in the organic.

No reason not to do
another pull across there.

Got a good signal
here, Rick and Jack!

I'll try pinpointing it first.

Look at that!

- ... yeah!
- Ooh!

Wow! Brilliant!

That is the real McCoy.

Yeah, this is an oldie.

1700s or older.

- What makes you think that's old?
- Number one, the weight.

And the fact that you can
see the striations going down it.

Now, we've been referring
to them as wharf pins.

It could be a wharf.
It could be off a gate.

It could be for a wall.

Could that be
a piece of Fred's wall?

Maybe.

That's a bloody good find.

After
partially draining the swamp

in the late 1960s,

Fred Nolan claimed to
have discovered evidence

of a wooden wall, or dam, buried

near the northern
boundary of the brackish bog.

And incredibly, Fred's account
of this structure matches

a feature labeled "The Dam"

on a reported 14th-century
map of Oak Island

that was given to
the team in 2016

by the late Zena Halpern.

A map that Zena believed was

created by the
Christian military order

known as the Knights Templar.

Nice one.

Okay, Al.

Is it
possible that the wood

and the heavy iron
pins the team has found

were not from a wharf

but perhaps the wall

that Fred Nolan claimed to have
found more than 50 years ago?

- Wait.
- What's that?

That's awesome.

I don't know if this
is a, a board or a log.

The dimension of that is
roughly what Fred described.

It could be evidence
that we're getting close

- to finding the wall.
- Could be.

Want it out of there?

Yeah, we
might as well take it out.

We'll take a look at it.

While investigating
the northernmost region

of the Oak Island swamp,

Rick Lagina and other
members of the team have just

unearthed a large,
potentially man-made timber.

That's roughly
what he described:

10, 12 inches wide.

- A
- timber that may be part

of a wall, or dam, that
the late treasure hunter

Fred Nolan believed
was built long ago

in order to artificially
create the swamp.

You think that might
be a piece of the wall?

I don't know.

- Clean it up a little, Al, and we'll take a look.
- All right.

Based upon everything

that we've found
in our excavations

in the northern
part of the swamp,

it keeps leading to more
and more strange work.

Is that a really big
rock down there?

A big rock.

It makes me think more
and more that there is a wall

and that somebody dammed off

to make sure that they formed

into a swamp to hide
the work that they dug.

Maybe this could be a clue.

Ho-ho, wow.

There's even more big
boulders down there.

- Yep.
- Something tells me

all these boulders
were put in place,

and not by Mother Nature.

There was
the piece of timber,

and now to find three
boulders in a line,

it does appear as though
these boulders were placed

in a way that would
be reflective of purpose,

some sort of intent.

There's
lots of wood here.

Yeah, a bunch of wood.

I think we found
something, Rick.

Hopefully.

Yeah, because we have

one right here that
ties these two together.

So there's one here,
here, here, here,

here, here, here, here, here.

So it's just kind
of like a wall.

- It's a clue.
- Yep.

A wall of boulders?

Could it be connected
to the evidence

of a man-made dam
that Fred Nolan reportedly

uncovered in this
area of the swamp

back in the late 1960s?

It's still not making
too much sense yet.

Not yet.

And if
so, was it built to conceal

numerous caches of
treasure, as Fred also believed?

The swamp was
heavily manipulated,

in all kinds of ways.

Roads, paths, ramps,
paved areas, stone roads.

The next big domino to fall

would certainly
be if there is a wall

associated with
that manipulation

on the north end of the bog.

We're hoping that if
Tom's father was correct

and there is a wall,

this could lead to
answers to the mystery.

It makes me feel like
we're hot on the trail of this wall.

Right.

Maybe, maybe we'll
find out. Okay, Al.

- Let's keep going.
- All right.

Later
that afternoon...

Yeah, keep going.

As the
excavation of RP-3 continues

in the Money Pit area...

Research is an
important component

of trying to find the
treasure, solve the mystery.

Rick
and Marty Lagina meet

with members of the team

in the Oak Island
Museum to hear a report

from Judi Rudebusch,
who was also

the research partner
of the late Zena Halpern.

Judi has taken upon herself

to look into John
Edward's books.

Contained within those books are

encryptions and codes

which we believe tie directly

back to the island.

It's the most fascinating
thing I've ever worked with.

So we started to do a
deep dive in the books.

The clues all seem to
point directly to Oak Island.

Six weeks ago,

researcher John
Edwards, along with author

and 32-degree
Freemason Scott Clarke,

shared excerpts from a series

of five 18th- and
19th-century books

which they believe
contained Masonic clues

linking the medieval order
of the Knights Templar

and a related group known
as the Knights of Malta

to the Oak Island mystery.

Curiously, one of
the books featured

a hand-drawn map of Oak Island
and depicted a square structure

in the northern
region of the swamp

that was eerily similar

to the brick and slate vault

that the team discovered
earlier this year.

We definitely believe

that the books show,

it is a multigenerational
endeavor

linking Biblical
treasures to Oak Island.

Judi, it's all yours.

Okay.

So we have the Knights of Malta.

They traveled side by
side with the Templars.

They fought with the Templars.

They started out as the
Hospitallers in Jerusalem.

As time went by

and as they moved through

to the different islands,
the knights took on the name

Knights of Rhodes,
Knights of Malta.

These are all names
of the same group.

Next step.

It starts in Jerusalem.

They were a hospital group.

And they were taking
care of all the Crusaders

and people coming
to the Holy Land.

In 1119,

the military order of monks
known as the Knights Templar

was formed by the
Catholic Church and tasked

with protecting Christians
and securing territories

in the Holy Land
during the Crusades.

For nearly two centuries,
they amassed great power

and established strongholds

throughout the Middle
East and Europe

with the support of
the Knights Hospitaller.

However, they also
accumulated great wealth

by establishing an
elaborate banking system

and were rumored

to have taken possession of
priceless religious treasures

such as the Holy Grail,

the Golden Menorah that once
stood in King Solomon's Temple

and the Ark of the Covenant...

treasures that some
researchers believe

the Templars began
safeguarding across the ocean

on Oak Island.

But in 1307, the
Templars were suddenly

persecuted by the Pope
and the King of France

on controversial
charges of heresy.

Many Templar Knights
were imprisoned,

but much of their
known treasures

and the rumored
religious artifacts

they may have possessed
have never been found.

Now, after 1312,

everything that the Templars had

went to the Hospitallers.

And that meant the
money they collected,

the artifacts, the treasures,
everything went to them.

They would have carried along

the same secrets,
the same knowledge.

And they started moving.

So they go from Cyprus,
and then they go to Rhodes.

And then, they go
to Malta in the 1550s.

But while they're on
Malta, what are they doing?

They are digging fortifications
in the underground.

They are making
tunnels. They've got caves.

They're going
into the limestone.

Not real different than what
you see in the Money Pit.

They knew how
to dig in that soil.

So you got to keep
thinking in your head

that they maybe came over here.

And they could have
been depositors, too.

- That'd be fantastic.
- Yeah.

They knew how
to dig in that soil.

You got to keep
thinking in your head

that they maybe came over here

and that they could
have been depositors, too.

In the
Oak Island Museum,

Judi Rudebusch is presenting

astonishing new research
that could potentially link

a secretive fraternity

connected to the
Knights Templar...

known as the Knights of Malta...

to the Oak Island mystery.

Okay. Now we're coming
into our side of the world.

This is Isaac de Razilly.

He was a direct descendant,
through his mother,

of the de Villiers.

The de Villiers were the
grand masters of Malta.

He was also a Knight of Malta.

Isaac de Razilly
came to Nova Scotia

and settled his capital
in the LaHave River,

just around the
corner from Oak Island.

That was 1632, 1633.

Yeah, there's a
chance Isaac de Razilly

and the Knights of Malta made it

all the way up to Oak Island.

And we have found
that there could be

a lot of connective tissue

going on at Lot 5.

After
acquiring Lot 5 in 2022,

the Laginas and their team
were stunned to uncover

a rounded stone foundation

near the shoreline

that archaeologist
Laird Niven believes

may have been
inhabited and modified

by several different groups

prior to the 18th century.

Within and near this feature,

they have found a
mortar-like material

that matches soil samples

from more than 100 feet
deep in the Money Pit area.

And they have also
uncovered stunning artifacts

such as a believed
14th-century lead barter token

that, just like the lead cross
discovered at Smith's Cove

in 2017, may be related
to the Knights Templar.

However, they have also found

numerous pieces of
pottery and buttons

that have yet to be identified.

There was an
item found on Lot 5,

which is on the table.

You're gonna see a button.

What's unique about this button

is that the rays going
out aren't clockwise.

They're counterclockwise.

And then there was

this button here on a
Knight of Malta uniform.

This button also goes
the opposite way around.

And it was Emiliano who spotted

the backwards turning sunrays.

Pretty odd that we've got
a button very similar to that.

This might be the
find that could prove

the Knights of Malta
were on Oak Island.

That's quite remarkable.

- Yeah.
- Look, you know, Judi is the first person

that's come up with
anything resembling

that starburst button.

This is first I've seen
anything that looks like it.

- Yeah.
- Now, on the table, you're gonna see

some beads that
were found on Lot 5.

Here is a chart, says Venice.

And you've got some
pretty close matches

but who was in that area?

Who was by Italy?

It could have been
the Knights of Malta.

They were doing trade.

They had every, every
chance to have a bead like this.

It's a clue.

So it could be part
of the same story

that Judi's following.

Did they come into
some information

that the Templars had
deposited something

on this side of the Atlantic?

Based on
the various discoveries

that the team has
made in recent years,

Rick Lagina has come to suspect

that the 230-year-old
mystery involved

different but related groups
who may have hidden valuables

on Oak Island over a
number of centuries.

Could that explain the
mysterious structure

and artifacts found on Lot 5,

as well as the numerous
man-made stone structures

including a vault-like
feature in the swamp?

And, if so, have Judi Rudebusch,

along with her late friend

and Templar
researcher Zena Halpern,

potentially identified

two of the groups
who may have buried

incredible treasures
in the Money Pit?

So if the Templars
had something to do with this,

I'd say this presentation says

the Knights of
Malta knew about it.

Treasure, secrets,
all kinds of stuff.

You know, there's no stronger
bond than brothers in arms.

I don't have all the
answers to this story.

But I'm still gonna work on it.

I do believe...
I've always believed...

that things were
done on the island,

regarding this
mystery, incrementally.

And you've shown
how incrementally

the Knights of Malta evolved
in terms of their presence,

in terms of their efforts,
in terms of their travels,

and where their
influences led them.

There could be lots
of information in Malta.

And I think we should
consider having a look.

I would agree.

It's gonna take a lot of
homework to validate a trip.

And,

we need to wrap our
heads around it collectively.

So let's get after it.

All right. Good deal.

The
following morning...

Keep going, Al.

As
the investigation

in the northern region
of the swamp continues...

Take another chunk out of there.

Hey, Adam.

- Hi again. How's it going?
- Good.

We're about 90 feet,
92 feet on the dig.

Okay.

And the excavation

of RP-3 proceeds in
the Money Pit area,

on Lot 5,

located on the western
side of the island...

Are you finding
anything good, Ethan?

Yeah, I found some,
blue bottle glass.

Moya MacDonald,

Ethan Green and other members

of the archaeology team are
continuing their investigation

of the round feature
near the shoreline.

We found blue bottle glass
just in test pit 28, over there.

- So...
- Okay.

That's great. It
might mend together.

- That'd be pretty cool.
- That would be awesome.

But we're just starting.

- Decent find. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Hopefully we'll find some more

- or something different.
- Yeah. Let's do it.

All of the archaeologists
who've worked on Lot 5

have said that the bulk of
the artifacts they're finding

could support multiple
occupations here.

So I have a certain, sort
of, excited curiosity

to find out if they can
identify who was in there first.

What? What?

No way.

- Another one.
- What?

Another what? Bead?

- Yeah.
- No way!

- Seriously?
- Yeah way. Yeah.

While investigating

the large stone foundation

near the shoreline on Lot 5,

archaeologist Moya MacDonald has

just made a potentially
important discovery.

Is it pink like the
other one or a pinky brown?

- Yeah.
- Really?

It's broken
in half, though.

- It's so little.
- Now where was the other one?

The other one was over there.

Yeah. There you go, Helen.

My God, they're
strung out all over the place.

Look at that.
Look. It's tiny.

- It is tiny.
- Wow.

So that's two now.

And they look like
they are the same.

It's the same color

- from what I can remember from the other one.
- Yeah.

Over the past year,

the team has found
several Venetian trade beads

in this feature.

And several weeks ago,
Moya unearthed a bead

that is identical to the
one she just uncovered.

The red colorant is early
1700s and before that.

Upon conducting

scientific analysis
on all of them,

archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan determined

that they could date back to
as early as the 17th century.

That's
the find of the day!

Is it possible
that Moya has now found

a fourth Venetian bead?

Beads that, according to the
research of Judi Rudebusch,

could support the theory that
members of the Knights of Malta

may have visited Oak Island?

Nice.

Yeah, so,
from what I remember

from Emma's analysis is

the red coloring on the bead
comes from copper content,

- which she found through the XRF.
- Okay.

Very good. Excellent eyes. Wow.

- Thanks, Helen.
- That's twice now.

- Yeah.
- That she's done it.

And that one is smaller,
'cause it's half of one.

It's half of one.

- So...
- Okay,

we're down onto the bead layer.

Bead layer.

As the
archaeology team continues

to search for clues on Lot 5...

Another big
boulder, right alongside, Rick.

- Really?
- Yeah.

That's a pretty straight line.

- Same elevations, too.
- Yeah.

Rick Lagina is joined

in the northern
region of the swamp

by fellow Oak Island
landowner and son of Fred Nolan,

Tom Nolan.

Maybe the wall's over here?

Obviously, if this is
where the work took place,

this is where you're
gonna put your wall.

Yeah.

Al, can you take
another scoop there?

- Sorta in...
- Between those two rocks?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

They are eager

to uncover more of the possible

man-made feature of boulders
and determine if it could be

part of the believed wall
that Fred reportedly found

more than a half century ago.

Somebody did a
tremendous amount of work

in this swamp, and
there's more swamp

we haven't taken apart yet.

It's very interesting, because

it leaves a big question
of who did this work?

There's something here.

I see it.

Yeah, it looks
like a bit of a log.

Unless it went through the rock?

It's right here.

It's just kind of pinned
against the rock.

Seems to be cut there.

Yeah. Yeah.
That's cut, right there.

For sure.

Axe cut, too,
that's no chain saw.

We should save that,

because if we reveal this

- and this looks like something...
- Yeah.

Then that would be

a perfect test subject
because it's in the structure.

Yeah. Let's set it
aside and just see

- where this is going.
- Yeah.

- I'll scrape the top off it.
- Okay.

The bog has
some story to tell.

Fred spent a lot of his time

trying to uncover
secrets in the bog.

And I firmly believe

that when Fred
volunteered this information

about a wall in the
north end of the bog,

I believe him.

And I hope that
we find that wall.

Looks to me like we've
got an alignment here.

- Yeah.
- And I'd like to find another one alongside this.

But between this and whatever

that bigger boulders is there,
it-it seems like something,

something went on here.

But what is that?

Is that to keep that from
intruding on the workspace?

- Yeah.
- Or this is to prevent water

from coming in
till the wall is built?

And then you can control
the water in and out.

- Yeah.
- But it's all speculation till you find the wall.

- Yeah.
- I still believe

there's a wooden wall
in here somewhere.

- Yeah.
- Maybe there's a tie-in somehow.

Yeah, definitely.

I still believe
there's a wooden wall

in here somewhere.
But what is that?

Is that just to prevent
water from coming in

till the wall is built

and then you can
control the water?

Maybe there's a tie-in somehow.

Yeah, definitely.

In the northern
region of the Oak Island swamp,

Rick Lagina and Tom
Nolan are working to uncover

a potentially man-made
feature of boulders.

Has anything changed?

Are you seeing
something here, Gary?

The question is,

could it be part of the wall,

or dam, that Tom's
father, Fred Nolan,

believed he discovered
back in the late 1960s?

I know from the
top of the spoil pile

it really stands out.

A line of big boulders
that come here

and then you've got

like a little offshoot
of boulders here.

Seeing it's like some
kind of, like, wall or...

no idea what it is.

That's why Steve should
come out and pin all of these.

Pin the orientation.
Pin the elevation.

Take a look at it.

So I'll-I'll just text Steve,
tell him to come down.

Yeah.

All right. I got to go,

but I think we got a plan here.

- Yep.
- All right.

We can't be dismissive
of anything found

in the north end of the bog,

albeit the real objective
here is to find the wall.

Steve can do a survey

and you might see a relationship
between some other constructs

across the width and
breadth of the swamp.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Steve.

How you doing? What do you got?

No one's looked at the
plans more than you have,

but you see this line?

Yep.

And we have one, two, three,

- and we don't know what's beyond.
- Yep.

I think you have a seawall.

This is how you'd close this swamp off.

Built to shelter
the coastline from ocean waves,

tides and storms,

seawalls are often
constructed out of boulders,

concrete or wood to protect

man-made structures
such as wharfs or docks.

You guys have done a
great job of uncovering it.

If Steve is correct

that this feature is a
kind of seawall, or dam,

could it be part of
the so-called wall

that Fred Nolan discovered?

It wouldn't take long with a
bunch of boulders this size

to build up enough
material to block this off...

to build a swamp.

And
if it was indeed used

as a dam to create the swamp,

could it also be
the same feature

on the believed
14th-century Templar map

that Zena Halpern shared
with the team back in 2016?

I wish I knew if
there was a relationship

between these
boulders and the wall.

It's possible.

The one thing that came to mind

when Fred first
spoke of this wall was

the reference to Zena's map

and the reference to a barrage,
which is a dam or a barrier.

It would be wonderful
to prove that.

To me, it speaks to the fact

that Fred saw something there

and it affirms that
the map is legitimate.

I think you have to
plot all of them together

- and see if it makes sense.
- I will.

It's just a very

unique alignment, right?

And it would be hard
to say it's a nothing.

This is a something.

If this really is
some sort of seawall,

between all of us,
we can figure out

what this may or may not mean.

- All right?
- Okay. Sounds good. Thanks, Rick.

Thank you.

Cross our fingers.

Later
that afternoon...

- Afternoon, guys.
- How deep are we, man?

We're about 110

with the, the dig.

Okey doke.

- We're right there.
- Yep.

Rick and Marty
return to the Money Pit area

as the RP-3 shaft
approaches its target depth

of 118 feet and a tunnel

that may contain a vast cache

of untold valuables.

- Hit any wood?
- I feel like I may be hitting it right now,

the pressure's spiked up a bit.

I was about 120. Now
it's going to 140ish.

So I think I'm just right at
the top of the wood right now.

All right, well, let's get
over to the table, Rick,

- see what's coming up.
- Well, some of this stuff it's exciting times, though.

The stakes are high.

We're about to
get into the tunnel

that led from Shaft
Six to the Money Pit

where the collapsed occurred.

And we're about to
dig into that very zone.

We're getting close, yeah?

I'm getting impatient.

- Let's see some coinage.
- Yeah.

The bar has
been raised significantly

due to everyone's efforts.

And now it's, where
is the treasure?

Where is the treasure?

Anything short of
something irrefutable,

it'll be a little difficult
to take, to be honest.

Some evidence that
there once was something.

Okay, here we go.

Kind of
spiking up on you?

Yeah.

- Look at that.
- Ooh, baby!

- Holy crap, man.
- That's the most wood

that we've pulled out
so far, just like that.

Never seen that before.

That's a grab!

- That's a grab.
- Wow.

It's loaded.

Look at that old beam.

Yeah, that
looks like old wood.

Why don't you
put your bucket over here

- and I'll just toss it in?
- Yeah.

In the Money Pit area,

an intense and potentially
historic situation is unfolding

for brothers Rick

and Marty Lagina and
the Oak Island team.

- You guys got it?
- Yeah.

- It's got some weight to it.
- Yeah.

At a
depth of some 115 feet

in the RP-3 shaft...

Put it right here.

They are
now recovering evidence

of what they believe could be

the Shaft Six tunnel.

- Look at that. That's old wood, innit?
- Yeah.

But the
burning question now is,

will they also recover

the treasure that legend claims

the tunnel contains?

That's a lot of wood.

We're coming close
to the bottom of the tunnel.

Yeah.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Adam.

What do you got there, Adam?

116 feet on the nose on the dig.

- 116 for the dig.
- Yeah.

That makes sense.

- We picked 118.
- Yep.

We got two more feet of hope.

That's the bottom, that's
where everything would be.

We're getting close

to the tunnel floor on RP-3.

It's a three and two count.

The pitcher's gonna pitch
the ball, and you're either

gonna hit it out of the park
or you're gonna strike out.

I hope it's not a strikeout.

It should be
in the scoop right here.

Nothing.

Because
the hammer grab tool is

no longer bringing
up wood but instead

packed clay and soil,

it means that RP-3 has
gone through the remains

of the Shaft Six tunnel,

and just like RP-1 and RP-2,

failed to produce
evidence of valuables.

You have to think, if
there was something,

you'd see it here.

- I was expecting something.
- Yes, I know you are.

And you're probably
disappointed, right?

Very much so.

We had high hopes,

but you have to say to yourself,

"Well, you know, it's not here."

They ask how difficult it is

to search for treasure
on Oak Island.

You just have to say,

"230 years people
have been looking

for a long-lost
fabled treasure."

230 years to try
to solve a mystery.

That's how difficult it
is to look for treasure

on Oak Island.

Nope, nothing else.

Right now, I feel
like you're having

a little crisis of
faith and I'm not.

Isn't that weird?

Because...?

'Cause I-I think it all makes
sense that it went deep

into the solution channel.

There's way too much material

- to fill up that tunnel.
- Right.

Several weeks ago,

while excavating a
shaft known as TB-1...

where the team believed

they were digging through
the original Money Pit...

upon reaching a
depth of some 160 feet,

the earth surrounding
and below the shaft

suddenly collapsed
and fell deeper.

- That ain't good.
- Hey. Stop.

It's caving.

This has
made the team believe

that a massive natural
cavity, or solution channel,

exists in the bedrock more
than 200 feet underground.

I really had high hopes.

- I really did. I did.
- I know.

Everything seemed to make sense.

It did make sense.
It still makes sense.

Because
the Shaft Six tunnel was

connected to the
original Money Pit,

could Marty be correct
that much of its contents

including the treasure it
was believed to contain,

has now fallen into the
so-called solution channel?

We proved that the
tunnel that goes from Shaft Six

is headed to the Money Pit.

We've proven that
a collapse occurred.

We've accomplished quite a lot.

I think the reason why is

because it fell down
into the solution channel.

We have to get down
into that solution channel

because we've never
really explored it.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Adam.

Hey, Adam. How you doing?

- What do you got?
- Well, 120 and a half,

we picked up some
material, cleaned it all out.

It's all out?

- It's all out.
- Well, then, I think we're done. Rick?

We tried.

Well, we probably have
enough time for perhaps

two shallow or one deep caisson
and that's probably it, right?

That's what we talked about.

But, we got
to talk, right? So...

- It's still down there, Adam.
- Yep.

The treasure could have
fallen into this solution channel.

So on to the next thing.

On to the next.

All right, well, we need
to assemble the crew

and figure this out, get
you some instructions.

Yep. Perfect, and we'll
get to, backfilling.

Thank you, Adam.

I'll be honest, I'm a little
disappointed, you know.

I thought it would
really be here.

But we've faced
days like today before.

So there's no hanging our
heads here, we just move on.

So sempre avanti.

- Yes, sir.
- So let's get going.

- Right on.
- All right, let's go.

For
more than two centuries,

the tireless digging by
faithful searchers has

produced compelling evidence

that a vast treasure is
buried on Oak Island.

But have Rick, Marty
and their team discovered

that the island has
taken those valuables

to a much deeper, darker
and foreboding place?

One thing is certain.

To find out, they
will not be deterred

by the challenge they now face,

because if they can succeed,

they will not only reap a
potentially priceless reward...

they could rewrite the
history of North America.

Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...

There is something
four feet down

and 14 feet long.

Ooh! What
the heck is that?

- Check out what I just found.
- What?

This is definitely
prediscovery of the Money Pit.

That's treasure.

And that's the
only one of its kind.

This could be medieval times.

That's right in the
era of the Templars.

Did the Knights of Malta
come to Oak Island?

We could get
an answer if we go to Malta.

Then let's go!
