(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) Tonight, on the Curse of Oak Island.

SPC and ROC are here.

We want something found today.

Find some treasure, boys!

That thing looks unstoppable.

Ooh, I think this is a key key.

I want to get this one to the lab, 100%.

It's very interesting that it's saying super early time period.

No way!

We're finally moving in a direction that could give us answers.

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.

A critical day has arrived on Oak Island

for Rick and Marty Lagina, Craig Tester, and their team.

As a dig operation that has been months in the making

is about to begin in the Money Pit area.

Hey, guys!

SPC and ROC are here, personnel and equipment.

They've been rolling in pretty steady, and they brought all their toys.

We've got some good locations this year,

and if we get down to that solution channel,

hopefully we bring up not only that one thing, but all of it.

You mean actual treasure?

Treasure. The team worked.

Yeah.

This year, the team has drilled more than a dozen new boreholes

over 200 feet deep into the solution channel,

where the legendary treasure is believed to have fallen

after the collapse of the original Money Pit.

After testing soil samples from the bottom of the boreholes,

so far, two of them, known as I-9.5 and K-9.5,

have yielded unusually high traces of silver.

Now, the team will begin excavating a 7-foot diameter steel shaft in this area

to find the source of the silver.

It is a location the team previously excavated in 2019,

down to a depth of some 150 feet,

which never reached the solution channel

and was back-filled with tons of loose gravel, known as surge rock.

Of those 500 boreholes we've drilled out here,

I'll bet you no more than 5% of them went to the depth

that I now suspect where the treasure lies.

We're going to have to partially go over other caissons

that were pulled and then filled with surge rock

to keep everything from collapsing and drill down deeper,

and that's what we plan to do.

It is their hope that the high traces of silver

may be related to a 14th-century silver coin

that was reportedly found in the Money Pit back in 1849,

which is connected to the Portuguese set of the Knights Templar.

Good evening, guys.

Gentlemen, how are you doing?

Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

It's exciting because we've spent exhaustive hours

trying to come up with an area of significant interest,

and we believe we have.

How does it feel to be back on Oak Island?

It's pretty nice.

It feels great to be back. I love it here.

Perfect. I like that attitude.

This mystery has resisted solution for 230-plus years.

I want answers. We all do.

Definitely brought some big toys this year.

We were told we ought to go pretty deep,

so that looks really serious.

Yeah.

That's the new LB-45 we brought down.

The big torque can run big depths,

and should be able to chew through whatever we need to

and help us see what's down there.

What are you using, just an auger to drill through the rock?

Yeah.

We're going to probably maybe break a new record with this

just for how fast these drills come in and out of the hole

versus us grabbing.

I know grabbing's efficient as well,

but this is going to be a lot faster material-wise.

I would think especially at depth, actually,

because the trip time on a hammer grab is a long time.

This just telescopes in and out, right?

Yeah, and it'll be a lot quicker coming in and out of the hole.

Pretty exciting.

Yeah.

It is. It's very interesting.

That bolt doesn't stand a chance.

In order to reach the solution channel,

the teams from Solitanch-Bashi, Canada, and Rock Equipment

will mount a 7-foot diameter auger bit

onto a 135-ton telescoping drill rig.

After placing the auger inside massive steel caissons,

it will rapidly drive down through soil, hard clay,

and other debris,

bringing spoils to the surface,

while a steel shaft is installed more than 200 feet deep.

Once the solution channel is reached,

a giant dig bucket will replace the auger bit

to safely remove additional spoils and the potential treasure.

We're looking at the location right there, right?

Yep, the orange dot. Yep.

During our sonic drill program this spring,

we've been analyzing our cores, and we've got silver in the soils.

That's very interesting.

And then, of course, there's what we call a pip ladle coin,

a Portuguese coin, possibly found in this general area.

Wow.

If that's what's down there,

then your toys, as you describe them, will find more of them.

And that's the hope. Yeah.

I try and not get too excited about what-ifs,

but I can tell you this,

it could be hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

That's exciting.

All right, I'm happy. What are you going to dig?

Breakground tomorrow. Yeah.

That's the plan. I like that.

The only thing I'd like to have heard better is today.

Tomorrow's acceptable. Yeah.

All right. All right. Thanks, guys.

As the teams from ROC and SB Canada

prepare for the dig in the Money Pit area...

All right, mate. Getting stuck back in again.

Rick and Craig join Gary Drayton and Tom Nolan

to continue searching for clues on Tom's property

in the northern region of the swamp.

We've got a lot of history that's been uncovered recently.

The mystery vault.

We've got a row of stakes leading us to that vault,

and we're digging right on the line.

Yep.

They are following a cobblestone path

that is lined with eight-sided wooden survey stakes,

a path that one year ago led them to a mysterious

but unfortunately empty vault some 50 yards to the south.

Now they are eager to see if more hidden structures

that contain valuables are waiting to be found

in this area.

Is that deep enough?

Yep. That's good over there, Al.

We'll take another one here.

Whoa-ho! Rick, look at that.

That's leather. Oh, yeah.

Think that's a boot or a shoe?

That's not a modern piece of shoe.

More than likely it's a sole.

Look at all the little holes.

So you know it's not stitched.

Yeah, it's like the old, like little odd nails.

It's got an old feel about it, for sure.

You start slipping, you lose your shoe.

Next thing you know, you're losing your coins.

Aside from the bits of leather we found in the money pit,

the majority of the finds have been in the swamp.

That leather down there in the southeast corner

was very, very old. Oh, yeah.

You know what? There might be more in here.

In 2023, while searching for clues

near the possibly Portuguese Stone Road

in the southeast corner of the swamp...

Check it out. What the heck is that?

Oh!

Rick and Gary found part of a boot,

which was of European origin

and could date back to the 17th century.

Could Rick and Gary have found a related clue?

And if so, might it help identify

just who built the cobble road?

Look at that, Gary.

Oh, with big nail holes in it.

Yeah, they're odd nails.

That's not stitching. Yeah, for sure.

That's not a modern piece of shoe.

Hell of a great eyeball finding.

Leather is where you say to yourself,

you know what, there's a real story here.

Yeah.

These pieces of leather are from shoes or boots

from the people who did the original work in this area.

That'd be something. Yeah.

We have the lab here on the island

to really, no pun intended,

to nail down where that leather came from.

Yeah.

This is how it's going to go.

Leather, coins and champagne.

There you go. Yeah.

I think there's a lot of information

that might reside within this shoe leather.

The platforms, the paved area,

the suspected paths and roads,

all of the constructions in the barn.

There's so much we don't know about

the reason why it was constructed,

but everything you find could be the clue you're looking for.

We'll probably get a scoop out of there, Craig.

That's strange.

The excavator bucket just went straight down.

There's some sort of void here.

As you can see, the excavator bucket went straight down.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I'm going to say five feet into this void.

That's where she went?

In the northern region of the Oak Island Swamp,

the team has made what could be an important discovery.

It's solid all the way around.

Hmm.

So somebody's dug it. Yeah.

People were in here.

People were in here doing something.

Yeah.

A five-foot-deep man-made hole?

Might it have been created by someone connected

to the shoe leather the team found nearby?

And the sections of the cobblestone path

that the team has uncovered throughout the swamp?

Okay, let's see what's there.

Okay.

Let's find some treasure, boys.

What have we got here?

Another stake.

It came out of that last load,

wherever that last scoop came from.

Hey, Tom, can you come over here?

Yeah.

The stakes you found previously?

Yeah.

Are they lining up here?

It looks like it may be on one of the lines

projected from the stakes we have found this year.

And think of what was right over there.

We referenced it many times, right?

The vault.

Because if those stakes point to that,

it may point to another one here.

Those stakes might have something to tell us.

Yeah, to me, that's the puzzle here.

Yeah.

This stake that comes out of the ground

might be delineating a path

from long ago.

Tom has iterated many times.

His father did not use stakes.

Maybe these new finds will tell us who did it,

when they did it, why they did it.

But we live to fight another day,

so let's pack it up,

let's bring the things to the lab,

see what kind of results we can get.

Okay, sounds good.

Off we go.

Later that afternoon...

Well, there she be, Corey, right there.

What do you think?

It's a nice little rock.

We're proud of it.

On Lot 8, Rick has joined Marty

and other members of the team

to meet with crane operator Corey Robart

at the massive boulder feature.

We're currently at a stage where we're trying to find

where the original cuts were

when they excavated down here,

whatever they did.

We don't know how deep it goes down yet.

The team began investigating this boulder

several weeks ago,

which sits above a ring of evenly spaced stones

and covers a back-filled void.

I'll show you, there's a really good spot.

All right.

After feeding a snake camera into a narrow space

that the team dug out below the boulder,

they recorded images of possible tools.

It's gold-looking.

It certainly is.

And even a gold-colored material.

And just one week ago,

soil testing on samples taken from beneath the boulder

contained unnatural levels of lead,

which the team believes could be evidence

of a centuries-old mining tunnel.

Now, archaeologist Laird Niven

has given the team permission to remove the boulder

in order to find out just what might be buried underneath it.

So I'm going to say we'll put a chain around here.

We'll choke this around the bottom.

We'll bring four legs down, which will be chained.

And we'll put two pins on this side

and two pins on the other side.

Pins? Like, what do you mean?

One-inch bar of steel.

Drill a hole in? Yeah.

Then we'll bring the slings down and hook into that chain.

And then that'll hold this rock on this side and that side,

squeeze it together as it's coming up.

Does that mean we may not necessarily have to dig

any area that could possibly compromise what we're looking at?

Yeah.

Okay, you know what, that's very encouraging.

Yeah.

Corey, how big of a crane do you think you'll need?

I'm going to bring a 130-ton crane.

These two trees will go.

I'm going to set in here.

They need to clear all around yet, so that's going to take a while.

Probably the biggest logistic issue is bringing in the crane itself

because it's a big machine.

This week, Billy and his workers will be working on the road

and the tree removal that's required.

There's absolutely no way to understand that boulder

without lifting it out of the way.

I think this is going to go cleanly, I really, really do.

I think we have the right technology

and the people who know what they're doing.

The rest of us can get back to it.

Yep.

As a new day breaks on Oak Island.

Yeah!

All right!

Thank you.

What are you all standing around for?

Rick, Marty, Craig, and the rest of the team

gather in the Money Pit area.

Vanessa, welcome back to Oak Island.

Now that the teams from ROC and SB Canada

have finished setting up their equipment,

it's finally time to begin a dig that will go deeper

than any previous search or operation in Oak Island history.

That thing looks unstoppable.

That's it, yeah.

You know, when I'm standing here in the Money Pit,

I always think of 230-plus years of activity,

230-plus years of search,

of a commitment, intellect, passion, belief.

But this year, it's about finding treasure.

And there are two people here who are emblematic

of finding things, especially the one thing.

So I would ask Gary and Katya to come up

and get this kicked off, because you find things,

and we want something found in this Money Pit today.

You accept that challenge?

Challenge accepted. Let's go, Katya.

No pressure.

Careful climbing up the track there.

How are you?

Good. Wow.

Gary, I've taken the liberty of naming this hole.

Okay.

Top pocket find.

All right.

Yeah, that's what we want it to be.

Good choice.

T.P.F.

T.P.F.

You getting any of this?

All right, start her up.

Find some treasure, boys!

Oh, baby.

Wow.

Yeah!

Make it all.

There's high hopes and great anticipation.

This has been a long slog,

and it's, you know, 12, 13 years in the making.

We're not going to get him out of that seat.

No, we are not.

Wow.

I want one!

We are what Marty long ago called the Fellowship of the Dig.

I am incredibly grateful for their presence,

for their contributions, for their passion

to solve this incredibly complex mystery.

I draw inspiration from them.

So let's find the treasure.

What a thrill!

Hey!

I started drilling, and I was searching gold.

Come on.

Absolutely.

Do it.

Well done, Gary.

Awesome.

Here we go!

We're going to find some treasure here.

Hey, team, thank you for being here.

I love you all.

Now get back to work, okay?

Thanks.

Moving.

Crap as they move it.

As the excavation of the TPF shaft

continues in the Money Pit area...

Hey, Carmen.

How are you doing today?

Your center stage, man.

Welcome back.

Wonderful.

Marty, Craig, and other members of the team

are meeting in the Oak Island lab

with blacksmithing expert Carmen Lang.

I found this brick on the road.

Lot 8.

Okay.

Six weeks ago, while searching for clues

several yards south of the boulder feature on Lot 8,

Rick and Katja found a possible knife handle.

And curiously, it was unearthed in the same area

where the pieces of potentially 16th-century chain

were also recently discovered.

It immediately looked to me like a knife handle.

Go have a look.

Now, the team is eager to get Carmen's assessment

on this find to confirm just what it is

and when it may have been created.

Wow, this is certainly an interesting piece.

It's not a knife, no.

It has a lot of features on it.

Yeah.

So what is it?

That's a good question.

I think it was a tool that was easier to use like this

to swing in a certain notch,

or this way you pick it up to swing it over.

This is a tool made for a specific part

of some larger tool that had some sort of mechanism to it.

Oh yeah, levers, pulleys,

could that possibly be part of one of those systems?

That's what I'm seeing is some type of ratcheting tool.

It's that far from the Lot 8 boulder,

so it's interesting.

A tool that could have been part of a pulley system?

Might it be related to the heavy chain

that the team found in this area?

And if so, could both have been used

in order to lift the massive boulder into place

or perhaps to lower something in the ground beneath it?

What about the metallurgy? What's that telling you?

So the metallurgy is actually really, it's a nice clean iron.

It is more reminiscent of like the European iron

that we commonly see within the 1700s.

Is it possible to be an older? Yeah, it's possible.

There's been a bunch of different things on Lot 8

that we've dug up over the years.

It's almost like bits and pieces were dropped

from a couple different timelines,

but something happened on Lot 8.

Lot 8 is giant in our minds right now

because of this big boulder on it.

So this tool device is from the 1700s,

and it's evidence somebody was doing something on Lot 8.

It is kind of a wow thing.

So in summation, we have an enigmatic, interesting,

perhaps one-of-a-kind tool,

more to the saga of all kinds of stuff happening here pre-1795.

I think for sure someone was there

doing some sort of type of work.

I think there's something under this rock.

I think people actually did something here.

So could these dates be representative of those efforts?

It could be.

There's an air of excitement to see

what's underneath that boulder.

Carmen, thank you very much.

A lot of information here.

And everybody else, we can get back to it, right?

Sounds good. Thank you.

Later that day...

We're getting to the end of the north end of the bog.

Yeah.

Rick, Tom, and other members of the team

continue the dig in the northern region of the swamp

to track the projected direction of the cobblestone pathway.

I'll start pulling down some of these sides.

I can watch everything that's coming out here.

All right, let's get going.

Sounds good.

Let's crack her up, Al.

There's a significant cobble road.

What story does that tell

in terms of understanding what the swamp work might represent?

I think that the work in the swamp,

as we currently understand it,

might have something to do with the efforts in the money pit.

But given the extensive amount of finds in the bog,

there's every hope that something of significant value

might be buried as well.

So we need to make sure we cover all the bases here.

Hey, Rick.

Yeah?

Got some old boards down here you might want to have a look at.

Just came out of the bank.

What have you got?

It's a pretty heavy plank that just came out of this,

after Al took that last bucket out.

There's three pieces here, and it's in good shape,

but it's old.

You can tell it's old wood.

Yeah, it's thick, yeah.

And there's a nail right there.

Can you tell? Round? Square?

It's hard to tell.

It's a thick plank.

Like, I think it's over an inch thick.

Yeah, that's not modern, right?

No, no, that's old.

They don't happen to fit together, do they?

Didn't really look.

Well, you know what?

I think I do see how this might have gone together.

Yeah, look at that.

Yeah?

That is a wide board.

You want to build a chest out of that.

There's your side, right?

Yeah.

But I don't know if the key is that nail you found.

Yeah?

If that's square, it could be really, really old.

Could Rick be correct that this thick wood planking

may have been part of a structure in the swamp

and perhaps a chest of some kind?

If so, might it be related to the empty brick and slate vault

they found several yards to the south one year ago?

Or could it be related to another one in this area

that might still contain something of value?

I think we definitely want to get this one back to the lab.

Yep.

Let's have a look at that.

100%.

All right.

Let's hope there's more in here.

Yeah.

The board is 12-plus inches in width.

It also is over an inch thick, which is not modern dimension.

So it could be very old with a nail in one of them.

It's a perfect candidate to bring to Emma.

From a metallurgical perspective,

she might be able to date them.

I hope it does have answers for the board.

I think we got something in there.

Something there?

Right there?

Right in there, yeah.

OK.

We got it.

There we go.

What you got?

That is.

Doesn't look like a nail.

I think this is a key.

I think this is a key.

A key?

Well, I think you're right.

It certainly has the shape for it.

In the Oak Island swamp, Katja Drayton

has just made a potentially important find.

There's not a nail, a spike, or anything like that.

It's got the round head there.

Have we just found the key to the swamp?

Maybe you found the key to the swamp.

What did you find?

Now tell me what you think of that.

Oh.

It rung like iron.

Very heavy.

And it has a look about it.

It is key-shaped.

And it was deep.

Mm-hmm.

A key?

This part would be the key?

Depends on how much is rust and how much is the actual artifact.

You know how a key, the old keys, had the, at the very end.

Spade-like end?

Yeah.

I think this is the, like you said,

the spade-like end of the key.

And then right here, that's where you would unlock it

and lock it.

Definitely unique.

I want to see what the CT scan says about this.

Yeah.

I'd like to see that, too.

You want to say it's a key.

That's as close as I can come to something.

Well, we may have a key here.

And we are not far from the vault structure.

Right.

You've got a potential key.

You've got older wood.

You've got a reference to a vault.

And I wish we could find a piece of wood with a lock.

Yeah.

A possible iron key?

If so, could Katia be correct that it may have been connected

to the brick and slate vault that the team uncovered

some 50 yards away in 2024?

Or could it be a critical clue that suggests the cobblestone

path may be leading them to another one

in this area of the swamp?

The hope is that, based on what has been found before,

that they will find more of the same types of structures.

You know, we talk about the vault in the swamp.

The probability of another one existing in the near vicinity

is probably rather high.

So there's a lot of interest here,

and there's every hope and evidence,

because of the previous work, that we will find something.

We've got to pay closer attention now, all right?

Find wood, you find a potential key.

Lord knows what else is in here.

The first thing you conjure up about a treasure hunter is a box

with something inside with a key opening it up.

But the cautionary tale is we don't want to jump to conclusions,

but it's quite interesting.

That's probably the most unique find in this end of the bog to date.

Cool find.

Right.

Well, let's find the lock that goes with it next.

Oh, yeah.
