All language subtitles for The.Curse.of-Oak.Island.S13E06.HDTV.X264-NGP

Tonight, on the Curse of Oak Island.

The metal we're seeing in the water is
in the solution channel.

There's metal underground that isn't
natural.

We found gold.

We got a signal.

Oh, there it is. What the heck is that
doing here?

This right here is a key to navigation,
but it might be a key for the alignment

of no one's craft.

This road goes from the beach to the
money pit. It's under the bottom of the

solution channel. Where are you, little
gold coin?

Do you see it? Come on, there you go.

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

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.

Gentlemen? Hello.

It looks like we just touched bottom of
the solution channel here.

While a new morning is still fresh on
Oak Island.

Now he'll go to back down and take
another run after this just to make

Good.

In the Money Pit area, the team's
drilling operation may be getting closer

the answers of a 230 -year -old mystery.

All right, we are 178 to 208. We hit
bedrock at 205.

So everything in this core becomes
highly interesting to us. Yeah.

The current borehole, known as F8 .5, is
located in an area where previous

underground water tests revealed
evidence of gold and silver objects.

Okay, let's have a look.

And now, the team has collected a 30
-foot core of loose materials in the

solution channel.

You getting deep?

Here, pick her right up to me in that,
too.

Come on, baby.

Where are you, little gold coin?

Come on.

Oh, you got something there.

Oh, I think that is something in there.
Let's see.

Right there?

Where the hell did it go?

Leave it. We can get Gary to come up
with this big detector.

Might as well.

Let's get this. Bring this in, Doc.

Let's grab this.

When the pinpointer goes off in the core
that is from the solution channel, I'm

very excited.

Very, very excited.

Here's your go -to guy.

I want you up there.

All right, Gary. Hey, Gary.

We had a phantom hit here.

Okay. And so we're wondering if you
might see if it was really phantom or

Okay. There's no nails in this table.

Okay, great.

We are so intense in that moment,
wanting there to be something there.

I just hope it's hiding what we believe
it's hiding.

She's clean, eh?

Clean as a whistle.

All right.

What the hell happened to it?

Regardless, we'll take that set and bag
it. Yeah.

So I want to send that sample in and see
what's in there.

That's a good idea.

We got the pinpointer hit right where we
thought the metals should have fallen

to, right?

And that's frustrating.

So I think it's right to test the soils
for precious metals to see if the

pinpointer hit was real.

We're very close to two sites.

We had amongst the highest gold values
in water.

Yep. We had outrageous silver numbers.

Maybe one of the things that's down here
that's creating our gold and silver

anomaly is gold dust that isn't natural.

Gary, if there was gold dust in there
and it was in a little...

Yeah. And I get a hit, and then I start
moving it around, would it go away? Or

would you have picked it up? I wouldn't
have picked it up with this, even though

I'm in the prospective mode on the
Manticore right now.

I wouldn't have detected it. Okay.

All right, well, maybe there's some
actual gold in that bag.

Yep.

Is it possible that trace amounts of
gold from a buried treasure have not

spread into the water deep in the money
pit, but also the soils in the solution

channel?

All those soil tests could take several
weeks to complete. If Dr.

Spooner gets positive results, it will
offer additional confirmation that the

treasure may be in this area.

Those results indicate or confirm
precious metals or for high metal values

the soil.

It would almost necessarily demand a big
dig.

Whatever was above, we now believe that
it easily could have fallen to these

depths.

So, look, we've just got to keep going.

Okay.

All right, well, let's get on to the
next one.

Later that morning.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today
to feel the heat.

And what I mean by that is I had
requested Steve, working with Emma and

Prepare a heat map.

Rick, Marty, and Craig meet with other
members of the team in the war room.

They were charged with looking at all
the artifacts that have been found over

the island over the years, and that is,
of course, a lot. And then put them on

the map of the island by how likely they
are old.

In recent years, the team has found
numerous artifacts.

that predate the discovery of the money
pit in 1795.

These include six Roman coins found on
Lot 5 that are as much as 2 ,000 years

old.

And just this year, they were shown a
14th century Portuguese silver coin, one

reportedly found in the money pit back
in 1849.

Marking the team's oldest discoveries on
a grid or heat map of the island

suggests... where even more important
clues may be found next.

So we've prepared a legend.

So I'm going to throw a few out so you
can take a look so you know what colors

you're looking at.

So you'll see pink, blue, orange, and
green. Pink represents the possibility

a deposit because it's 1725 and older.
And blue, which is 1800s to now, which

means it's searcher.

Okay. Everything else, like the 1730s,
40s, and 50s, that orange color starts

appear.

All right, okay.

So right now, the two hot areas where
depositors could have been is Lot 5 with

the archaeologist and the money pit.

We're obviously still searching those
areas, but we have found very old

artifacts in other places as well.

What about the odd pink dots over there
on the head of the elephant?

That's Lot 15.

Even in the orange colors, you're going
back to the mid -1700s. That could be...

Yep. When you see those older ones up
there on Lot 15, I

think there's a lot more work to do
there.

Yeah. I agree. Yeah, we've got to get
Gary out there. Yep.

Located some 200 yards northwest of the
Money Pit area, Lot 15 has produced some

of the team's most intriguing artifacts,
including burned charcoal that could

date back to the 14th century.

A Chinese coin that could be more than 1
,000 years old.

And a piece, a pre -17th century cannon
stone shot that originated in the Azores

Islands of Portugal.

Seeing this cluster of finds grouped on
the heat map makes Lot 15 a prime target

for fresh investigation.

Because I look at the dots in Lot 15
and, you know, we barely touch the

right? Yeah. It makes sense to
concentrate there.

Yeah, well, you ain't seen nothing yet.
We're going to change these colors to

gold and silver.

We are now convinced that mystery is
island wide.

You go back to where you have been
successful before.

So I think it's highly appropriate to
start on lot 15.

Okay. Thank you very much. Yep.

I say we get back at it. I agree.

Following their meeting.

I'm going to metal detect over the top
of this plowed area, and we have a

of finding some great artifacts on this
hillside. I'm excited to see what you'll

find today.

Rick, Gary, and Steve begin searching on
lot 15.

I'm expecting a good day. Yeah, having
said that, I say we get going.

Yep. Okay, mate.

Get stuck in.

Okie doke.

Before their arrival, Billy used a two
-and -a -half -ton tractor.

to pull a three -bottom plough across
the surface to help them search for

artifacts. This idea of ploughing high
-value areas on old coiling, this comes

from my experience metal detecting on
farmland in England.

The farmers turn over the fields by
ploughing, and they bring older

closer to the surface and make them more
detectable.

Check this out.

Yeah.

Is that coal?

It's really light, eh? Yeah. If that's
coal, that would be well out of place.

Looks like it could be.

What do you think, Rick? One way to
tell.

That's right.

I'd say so, yeah.

What the heck is that doing here? Very
out of place.

It might be that kind of coal that was
found on the stone road. Yep.

Because the team found pieces of coal
when they uncovered the believed

Portuguese stone road in the swamp.

I'm going to put this in the bag. I
would. And give it to Emma.

Is it possible that this discovery made
where they have also found Portuguese

stone shot?

could suggest a connection between the
swamp and Lot 15.

Good find, Gary. Good find, Gary. On the
top here.

Right, I'll keep trucking in. Let's find
something.

There you go. Yeah. That sounds good.
Yeah. Look right in there, Rick.

Let me see if I can pinpoint what we got
here.

Oh, look at that. Wow.

Oh, what we got here.

See those facets?

While metal detecting on lot 15, the
team has just made a curious find.

I wonder if that was a rosette spike.

Could well be. Could be.

They went back all the way to the 1500s.
Wow.

We did find some in the money pit.

Yep. Mm -hmm.

First made during the 16th century in
Europe, rosehead spikes are hand -forced

iron fasteners with hammered heads
resembling the petals of a flower.

They were commonly used up through the
18th century before machine -made nails

replaced them.

And the team has found a number of
rosehead spikes, both near the surface

Island and more than 150 feet deep in
the Money Pit area, that have all been

dated to before 1750.

It's brilliant.

There you go. We'll bag it.

Okay.

And this, I have no doubt, will be going
on your reap, Matt. It will be. I hope

so, anyway.

We have seen rosehead spikes many times
on Oak Island, especially connected

to old features and old areas.

These are valuable finds.

We could have a connection here between
Lot 15 and the Money Pit.

That's diggable.

Just there, mate. Right there?

Yep.

Now let me see if I can pinpoint...

Oh, what have

we got here?

I believe this is called a pintle.

That's cool. It is? Yeah.

Pintle was used as a gate or a door
hanger, and it could have easily been

to hang a lantern, or even in the mines
when they were digging.

The shafts for the mummy pit. You need
some light.

This one does indeed need to go to the
lab.

It could be meaningful.

I think this is a really cool find that
could go way back.

All right. We'll put it in the bag and
put a flag in it.

Good find, Gary.

Interesting where this iron comes from.

Ready? Yep.

Okay.

The next morning.

Going to keep our eyes peeled.

We're going deeper. Far below.

We're taking it to the bedrock. Yep.

As a new borehole is drilled in the
Money Pit area, and the team waits for

soil test results.

A big part of the year is the swamp
work.

Yeah. And you look at this map and you
realize why that is so.

Having received new permits for
exploration in the swamp, Rick meets

and Billy in the research center to plan
their next phase of digging in the

triangle -shaped feature.

Everything we've found continues to
amaze us, and the hope is that the new

permitted areas will help explain some
of the questions we have in the bog.

We've already completed the so -called
West Hill location.

Steve, if you want to bring that up.
Sure will.

During recent excavations at the western
border of the swamp, the

team uncovered a series of hand -cut
wooden survey

stakes lining what they believe to be a
long road, as well as a strange feature

made of cobblestones.

On the edge, it looks very similar to
the stone road. It looks very similar.

But the most compelling find was a hand
cannon of European origin that could

date back to the 13th century.

And we picked that area because maybe
the depositors potentially would have

pushed and had a path through the swamp
itself because the road that we use

around the swamp didn't exist at that
point in time.

Now, having fully searched that
location, the team must decide where to

next. I think finding the Kabul platform
and finding the stake.

And what appears to be a road, but not
finding it north, makes it that much

important that we've moved south now or
southwest.

And we've done very little work with the
southwest.

You can see it called Permit Area 25 -1.

Mm -hmm.

Well, in drier times, people would have
walked through there, right?

Mm -hmm.

Surely it should be a pretty good spot
for people traffic.

You would think.

We've done nothing through there.

So there's a whole big area that we...

Maybe don't know much about, but we're
going to learn more in the next corner,

right? Yeah.

There are very selected areas in the bog
where people long ago did work.

As we moved our way north, we didn't
encounter stone.

The hope is that as we continue to move
towards the southwest corner, we will

find artifacts and or stakes that may
help provide an explanation as to the

purpose of these features.

It's a big open area that we need to...

Take a look at it. But in order to do
that, you've got to get in the

Exactly. That was good.

All right. And your rubber boots.

And your rubber boots, exactly.

All right. Thanks, Steve.

Following the meeting.

Hey, Billy. Morning. Hi, Mike.

Ready to jump in. Oh, yeah.

The team gets to work in the southwest
corner of the swamp.

We've got quite a large area here.

It's going to be one of our bigger
permit areas we've ever done. You can

the stakes.

We start here. We head a couple hundred
feet north along the bank.

Yeah. You know, closer to the tree might
be the most apparent effect.

Yep. Okay. Let's get to it then.

Yep. Let's look in.

All right, guys. I've got a little bit
of work to do, so I will be back. Okay,

Mike. Sounds good.

Obviously, the swamp has provided some
really unique discoveries.

And we have very little understanding of
what they represent in terms of is

there any association with the money pit
mystery.

With the Southwest Corner, I feel very
hopeful for answers.

A lot of rock.

Yeah.

It really does look like a line of rocks
along there.

It's not just big rocks. It's mixed in
with, yeah, gravelly stuff, right?

Bigger.

It's all those rocks here.

Yeah.

What do you make of all the rocks,
Billy?

Peter, I'm surprised to see, you know,
very road -like. Yeah. They wouldn't

normally, you know, occur together, so
it seems like somebody might have threw

them in there.

Yeah.

I want to get my Uncle Rick up here.

Absolutely fantastic.

Hey. Hello.

Hey, Rick.

Hey, Rick. Wow.

Rock. A lot of rocks.

In the southwest corner of the swamp...
Rick joins the team after being alerted

to a potential new discovery.

Is this how a bog would develop?

How do you explain the amount of rock in
here?

When you look at the cobbles, it is all
the makings of what we're looking for.

But that rock really shouldn't be up in
the till like that. It should be deeper.

So you're thinking some sort of effort
because they're sitting on top of the...

Yeah, it just seems like it's possibly
land clearing or road. I don't... I

that all these rocks got put in here
other than by hand of people.

Yeah.

This area reminds me of where we were
digging and where we found that

cannon. There's a heck of a lot of rocks
here.

This might be a way to get from the
beach to the upland, right? Yeah.

If you're coming around the island on a
ship, then you're going to come in this

area here. So I am expecting...

find some great finds here.

It'd be really summing if we found
another Portuguese -style road on this

of the swamp.

Yeah.

When the team first uncovered the
believed Portuguese stone road in the

southeast corner, it was speculated that
it may have been part of a ship's wharf

used to unload cargo onto the island.

Is it possible?

that the team has just found a similar
structure in the southwest corner.

We couldn't get a nicer day, so we might
as well put it to good use. Let's keep

going. Yep.

I'll give it a chance to survive, in
fact. There you go.

While the dig continues in the swamp,
later that afternoon... Hey,

Charles, Terry.

Hey, Ian.

Dr. Ian Spooner joins members of the
team in the Money Pit area.

Water samples. Got to take some water
samples.

So I could use a hand. No problem at
all. Let's get at her. Okay.

After a disappointing few weeks in which
the team has been unable to find hard

evidence of treasure while drilling in
the solution channel, Dr. Spooner will

collect and test new water samples to
look for signs that the team is drilling

in the right place.

We did get some samples last year, and
they were high metals, and so we've got

to get more water samples.

and send them in and see what they show
us now. Absolutely.

So I'm going to start right with B .5
and 11.

I think that's a good idea. Great.

Yep, B .5, 11 right here.

So if we have high metals in these
samples that we've been taking, it could

that the metal that we're seeing in the
water is in the solution channel. Yeah.

So it follows that the solution
channel...

may be moving metal from the money pit.
It's a conduit, absolutely. It's a

conduit, it's a pathway, yeah. A lot of
water moving down there. Yep.

Because the massive underground solution
channel is full of moving water, Dr.

Spooner will take water samples from
previously drilled boreholes where

metals have been detected in the past.

I'm going to get you to hold that.

Depending on the test results, he may be
able to determine where water with the

highest trace evidence of gold and
silver is flowing from deep underground

help the team pick new drilling
locations in this area to search for the

treasure.

I'm going down to 110 feet.

It's 105 right there. Yeah, and I'm just
going to let it fall on the ground.

Okay.

To collect the water samples, Dr.
Spooner is dropping a single -valve

the borehole.

As it descends... An open valve allows
water to flow through it.

Once the desired depth is reached, a
metal ball drops into place, securing

sample.

There are metals in the water that the
scientists say those metals are not

natural, that's still there, and that's
what keeps us going to find it.

Hopefully, the water testing will tell
us where to actually find the treasure.

Hey, look at that.

Oh my gosh, there's the dye.

That's pretty amazing.

Yeah. That's the dye we put in last year
in the money pit.

Yeah.

In 2024,

Dr. Spooner and members of the team
conducted a series of tests to locate

source of gold and silver in the money
pit area.

This involved pumping red dye some 200
feet deep into the solution channel

through several boreholes.

Dr. Spooner.

then resampled water in other boreholes
across the area, looking for remnants of

the dye to track the direction of water
flow underground.

It would be very interesting to see what
metals this has in it.

Now that Dr. Spooner has just recovered
water with red dye from just 105 feet

deep, could that mean that the water in
the solution channel is flowing upwards

and into other locations in the Money
Pit area?

And that's all we need?

Yep. So that's one down?

That's one down, and we'll send them in
today and see what we got. Yep.

Compared to soil testing, which is time
-consuming, the new water samples can be

analyzed for signs of precious metals in
just a matter of days.

Okay, let's take this back and we'll go
get another sample. Yep.

As Dr.

Spooner and Terry continue gathering
samples in the Money Pit area.

I really like this lot.

Me too.

Katya Drayton and Peter continue
searching for clues on Lot 15.

Sounds good now.

Anything in front of me is okay.

Out.

Oh, my God.

What do you got?

I think we found ourselves a button.

Well, it's certainly a button.

It looks to be green, so it might be
copper.

What kind of button do you think it is?

But it's pretty big. It's pretty big. I
think this would be more of a shirt

button. Yeah.

Is it possible that Peter and Katya
found a clue that will help identify...

Who left the artifacts previously found
by the team on Lot 15?

You don't see a design, but there could
be a design there.

Well, I'm excited to get this one back
to the lab. Yeah, and your dad always

says people who had buttons had pockets,
and people who had pockets had coins.

Exactly. All right, let's bag tag it.
Keep going. Yeah, good start.

It's a little chippy.

But it's two -way, and it could be
something just really deep and on edge.

We're here to dig it. Let's do it.

Let's try it.

Yeah, it's up.

What do you got?

I'm not sure.

What do you got?

I'm not sure.

On lot 15, Katya and Peter have just
unearthed an intriguing metal artifact.

Do you know what this looks like?

What do you think?

This looks like a pin on a compass
almost.

Oh, I could see that.

What do you think?

Yeah, here's the top of it.

Might even, might have both pieces for
the navigation tool.

Like this.

That is so cool.

A possible compass found on Lot 15?

Dating back to the times of ancient
Greece, a compass is a drawing

used to measure distances on maps and
for designing the layout of structures

land. For centuries, it was a standard
tool of architects, navigators,

craftsmen, and astronomers.

And it makes sense where we are. We have
this beach just down here.

Obviously, at some point, boats came
ashore.

And that could be used on a boat or on
land.

Whenever my Uncle Rick's talking, and
we're talking about Nolan's Cross,

very precisely put in place. And they're
put in place due to the stars.

Yeah. Which is the same way that...

people long ago would travel across the
sea. So, to your point, this could be

nautical, but it also could have been
for the alignment of Nolan's Cross.

If this is a compass, could Peter be
correct that it may have been the kind

tool needed to create some of the
megalithic structures that have been

Oak Island, such as Nolan's Cross, a
feature that some scientific experts

believe could date back To the 13th
century.

That's amazing.

We have sought mightily to create a
timeline of human activity in the Oak

mystery. Where people work, they drop
things, lose things.

And in order to figure out who, what,
when, where, why, and how, it begins

with finding artifacts that tell a
story.

This right here is a key to navigation,
but it might be a key to Oak Island as

well. I know we don't find many nautical
things on the island, so this is

something I really want to take back to
the lab.

All right. Okay. Keep going.

As another exciting day dawns on Oak
Island.

Let's find some artifacts.

Let's get going.

Alex and Peter join Billy and Gary in
the swamp as they continue to search the

southwest corner.

Going in.

We think we are seeing signs of a
structure or a road on the west side of

swamp along the edge.

Wow, there's nothing in here. This is
quiet.

But like everything, we need to
investigate it further and look for

see if we can prove one way or the other
what's going on here.

Well, we're getting rough here. That's
the sound.

There's this really dark stuff.

Can't tell where it's coming from.

There.

Organic stuff?

There's some organics in that.

There's a layer of rock that's more than
one rock thick.

And in between those rocks is swamp
material, sort of decaying plant matter.

In my head, the only way that could be
there is if the rocks were added to the

swamp after the fact deliberately.

In my opinion, there's a chance that
it's not natural. It definitely looks

of place.

And if it is man -made, the artifacts
are going to help us date it. Yep. So

that's what we've got to do is find the
artifacts.

Yep. All right.

Coming in, Billy.

Signal. Got a signal.

It's a good strong ion signal.

Barely shallow.

Yeah, it's in that area.

Let's see if I can pinpoint it.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, oxygen.

Yeah. Look how unusual it is.

Look how long that body is.

But I mean, I wouldn't imagine you'd
have oxen in the middle of a swamp. So I

think this is telling us that either
there's a road here, or at this time,

was passable. Yeah.

We find a lot of French and English ox
shoes on the island, but this is totally

different to any of those ox shoes.

We're very close to this road, if it is
a road, and finding an ox shoe here...

Kind of reinforces that.

That's where the draft animals would be
walking and, you know, dragging a load.

So hopefully we can find out when it
would have been used, why it might have

been used, and who might have been using
it.

Well, yeah. Well, we'll put it in the
bag. Yeah. And we'll find answers at the

lab. That's right.

Nice. If it's a road, there should be
more, but that right there is a little

of proof that there is a road here.

But let's leave it at this.

Indication is that it could be man
-made. Dr. Spooner needs to take a look.

Let's work.

Stop.

Hi, Dr. Spooner.

Hi, Ian.

We've got another red scratcher for you.

Hmm.

Now that the team has unearthed more of
the strange rock feature in the

southwest corner of the swamp, Dr. Ian
Spooner arrives to examine it for signs

of human construction.

You look at this area now, the more
we're digging, the more we're

the more rocks and boulders, and they
all seem to be in like a linear feature,

like a road.

I agree.

This is manipulated.

You know, it's pretty obvious.

It's what we call in geology, it's open
work.

The airspace around those boulders means
that those boulders aren't naturally in

place. There's no till in between the
boulders. So they're moved.

It's not perfectly smooth like you would
expect it to be if it was done with

more modern machinery.

Right. One thing to look at is that this
area here is elevated somewhat above

that side and that side. So it has the
look of a very crude beginning

of something.

The key thing is the aid.

Any artifacts?

We did find one ox shoe on the far end
there. Yeah. Okay. But it was actually

amongst the rocks.

Oh, really? Okay.

Yes. Do you think all these rocks and
boulders could have been the start of

road, like the foundation before they
put the cobbles on?

Yeah, possibly.

Maybe they were pushing stuff. Maybe
they were using oxen. I don't know. The

reoccurring theme here is people are
here with purpose.

It has a purpose. We just don't know
quite yet what that purpose is.

Yeah.

If Dr.

Spooner is correct that this stone
feature may have been used to move heavy

cargo, Just what kind of cargo was it?
And where did it end up? At this stage,

what we need to do is just excavate the
length of it and see if what we've got

is some beginning of something.

There are answers in the swamp, but we
only have a limited understanding of the

possible interactions between the work
in the bog and the work conducted in the

money pit.

The money pit, it was an attempt to hide
something.

What was the bog work about?

I don't think we have that story close
to being written or understood.

The good news is we've got two
directions to go. Okay, good. I'm going

back to the lab.

Okay, we'll start digging.

The following afternoon.

Ian, I understand you've done some work
on the water samples, and you have some

results you want to talk to us about.
Yeah.

While the results of the soil tests are
being completed, Rick, Marty, and

members of the team meet with Dr.
Spooner in the war room for an update on

water samples he recently collected in
the Money Pit area.

I think we've shown, at least to our
satisfaction, that there's metal

underground that isn't natural.

And then, of course, we found gold.

The problem's being where.

Yeah.

So we've got some monitoring wells.

These samples are from the west side
from your area that you're drilling

now. What's that one? Over here we've
got the east side, sort of near the

shaft. Oh, this is the dye.

And it's dye. Yeah, I see. It's a
rotamine dye.

Last year, we did a bunch of dye tests.
We put the dye in at depth in the

solution channel area or in the
traditional money pit area.

And now it comes up in wells near the
garden shaft.

So it just tells us that water can move
that direction.

There's precious metals in these
samples.

So where are the metals coming from?

And what the dye has told us in this
little collection of wells.

is that there's every possibility it's
coming from the south, from the solution

channel, through that conduit that the
dye traveled very rapidly.

Dr. Spooner's new test results suggest
that the traces of precious metals are

indeed coming from the solution channel.

You're saying that water is moving south
to north.

Yeah. So the way that the water is
moving from deep down, solution channel,

Uphill, basically, is all the work we're
doing.

With all the drilling, we're pushing
down in one area, and that's pushing

up in another area. And that's why we're
getting water moving uphill.

Almost as if there was a pipe just
connecting the two, you know. So, you

you're flushing water. And it's pushing
down, forcing it out, and drawing it

back. Yeah. It's a giant plunger, right?
Exactly. It's a plunger in a toilet,

yeah.

It's validating that they're looking for
the treasure in the right area.

That's amazing.

You think at this point, given all the
data, that the source of the metals are

deep, down in the solution channel?

Yeah, validating that you're looking for
the treasure in the right area.

Rick, Marty, and the Oak Island team
have just received encouraging news from

Dr. Ian Spooner.

After testing new water samples
collected from boreholes all across the

Pit area, he has found evidence that the
water deep underground, which

contained... the highest amounts of
precious metals is likely originating in

solution channel.

Well, here's what I heard. I heard that
your cumulative data is consistent with

our prevailing theory this year.

If, in fact, a great treasure or even a
minor treasure fell down into the

solution channel, it explains
everything.

It explains what happened. It explains
why people didn't find it. It explains

the metals in the water.

Where you're looking is a good place?

Yeah, that's really good to hear.

Yeah. What Dr.

Spooner related substantiates our belief
currently that the treasure had fallen

to greater depths.

An area like the Money Pit has been so
investigated for 230 years to still have

under -investigated areas where the
treasure or treasures may still lie is

really quite interesting. And that's
where we're going to focus our efforts

justifiably.

The solution channel is the number one
thing that makes sense with regards to

where the treasure might still be.

Everything I've heard this year makes me
want to get back out there and

implement our plan.

Sounds like we're doing the right thing,
and I hope we do focus in and really do

the right thing and actually solve this
thing.

I think we've got a chance.

Let's define that solution cavity
quantitatively.

And qualitatively, we have to find the
place in the solution channel very in

conventional money pit area where it's
wide open enough to accept something

dropping from above.

That's what this has told us today, that
we are on the correct path.

Let's just keep moving forward, and I
appreciate the effort.

Well, we'll keep on.

And I'm calling the end of the meeting
right there, okay?

Let's move on. Well done, Ian. Thank
you.

The true history of Oak Island remains a
tantalizing secret.

But with every dig and each scientific
test, Rick, Marty,

Craig, and their team find evidence that
something extraordinary was buried here

long ago.

So as they peel back new layers of this
mystery, just how much deeper must they

look for the answers and finally break
the curse?

belief to protect them.
