Tonight, on the Curse of Pokemon.

Oh, wow.

Check that out.

That's a great fight.

That could be really, really old.

This was used to build a wooden vault or some

sort of structure down below for safekeeping.

After researching the Xenomat, if I came up with three touches on the

west coast of France, these three touches are pointing towards our continent.

You've got something big on your hands.

It's absolutely intentional.

It matches slot five in the money pit.

They were trying to conceal it.

Which makes it even more spectacular.

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.

Manmade 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.

You know what time it is?

Treasure time.

A new day on Oak Island begins with great excitement for Rick, Marty and their team.

As they are digging to historic depths in the money pit area.

Right at the bottom of the Kalama Marina solution channel.

That's where the treasure is going to be.

But we've got as good a chance as any.

The fire did today.

And I hope it's going to be right over there.

One day ago, after excavating the seven foot diameter shaft known as Karma One,

212 feet deep to the bottom of the solution channel.

The team lifted the steel case ons to allow loose

soils and debris to settle overnight into a pile below.

They are now about to retrieve those materials with a dig bucket and search

them for evidence of a large source of silver.

Which has been detected through water and soil testing in this area.

It is their hope that the silver is connected to the 14th century Portuguese coin.

Reportedly retrieved from the money pit, by Foreman James Pitt Blado in 1849.

Let the slooze loose.

Let's go take a look.

All kinds of man-made things are in that solution channel.

We've proven it.

We brought them up.

So I'm very hopeful that we're going to find some evidence

of the treasure that we think fell into that collapse area.

Oh, no, it's... You know, you can get it all in the truck,

you can get it down in the wash, but see what's in there.

Here.

Okay.

As Rick, Gary, and Terry, wait to search more spoils in the money pit area.

Some 500 feet to the east near Smith's Cove.

It's pretty muddy.

Yeah, a little bit.

Charles Marquez and other members of the team are at the wash plant, searching by

hand, through spoils that were previously removed from the Karma One Chef,

and make and tame important evidence or valuables, not found by Gary's method.

The detector.

This process has already produced fines, such as a small, hand-forged iron chain.

It's a type of chain.

Gary has previously found while metal detecting in Europe,

and he believes could have been used to lock a box or a chest.

Oh, wow.

Check that out.

Look right there.

Looks like a rose here.

It spiked to me.

And it's hand-rock.

To fasten different pieces of wood together, that could be really, really old.

Anytime the team finds something on the conveyor

belt at the wash plant, I mean, we're excited.

But finding that rose hits, like, you know, in Karma

One, could be the indicator that we're looking for.

This could come from the 1600s or earlier.

This could be from the original workings of the depositors of the treasure.

That's a great fight, and that's going to go to the lab, for sure.

Now, then we'll test that.

We'll keep looking.

Meanwhile, back in the money pit area.

Right.

This is it.

Looks like the last material.

Let's go check it out.

Let's give it one more go.

Okay, bye.

Rick in the team, continue to search through the final

spoils for a trade from the bottom of the Karma One shaft.

I think we've gone this far as we can go.

You're done?

Yeah.

So, got one more chance on the wash plant.

Yep.

The wash plant it is.

Yep.

Hey guys.

Hey there.

How you doing out of here?

Are we on bottom?

We're on bottom and we're cleaned up.

And bottom is 212.

And this by an inch missed by a mile.

Yeah, well, we're not going to miss the next time.

No.

No.

We didn't find it.

We just moved on to the next location.

Yep.

Literally, our top pocket location was the one we were about to move to.

Right.

Yeah.

Find some trade advice.

Two weeks ago, the team began excavating the shaft known as top pocket fine.

Located less than 10 feet northeast of Karma One.

This shaft was positioned directly over an area where water testing had revealed a

massive source of silver deep underground, making it their

primary target for exploration of the solution channel.

That doesn't sound very good.

But unfortunately, at a depth of just 25 feet, the casons

were stopped by gravel backfill from a previous dig.

Now, using rock equipment's powerful rotating oscillator, the team from SB

Canada can resume digging the TPF shaft down to the solution channel.

On the one hand, Karma One is a little

disappointing, but you just keep moving forward.

The quicker we get started, the quicker we get down.

Yep.

That's good.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Well, the dig proceeds in the money pit area.

Later that day.

Hey, guys.

Hey, thank you.

Every time I look at this, I don't know what to make of it.

It's getting incredible.

It's really quite spectacular.

Yeah.

Rick and Peter arrive on lot 8 to check on the investigation of the cradle-like

formation of stones that were found beneath a 40,000 pound boulder.

Oh, and the world was that made.

It's 40,000 pound boulder.

If you were to drag it in, it would destroy this.

I'm not thinking about how they did it as much as the why.

Well, I mean, this was definitely purposeful.

We didn't remove any soil from down here whatsoever.

It was filled with rocks.

After removing the boulder, revealed this mosaic-like stone feature, archaeologist

Fiona Steele has begun removing debris and some of

the stones to determine what purpose it might serve.

Especially since the team has already detected possible

evidence of a shaft and even silver in the soils below it.

I've worked with stone most of my life and the labor

that you see in front of you is it was quite laborious.

It meant something to someone.

I think we need to do as much work as possible to address one key question.

What's underneath the boulder?

We had a lot of smaller rocks, the ones that are these

size, all in the center, and they were very loose.

So once I started removing them, I started seeing these other rocks underneath.

And you can see the ones underneath.

Our fair bit larger in size and the ones that were actually on top.

And they extend all the way down here.

This is what's starting to produce itself as we've been excavating here.

I will say this, that one there.

When I look at that, the way it's positioned this way.

It's very curious positioning of that.

I still can't get it out of my head.

The shape of these boulders that we had, which were very triangular.

We had this big one down here.

We had another big one there and a big one there.

And it almost felt like there was a triangle pointing down to this boulder.

I mean when you think about this area, you think

about Zena's map and the December triangle.

This could also be related to that.

In 2016, the late author and researcher Zena Halpern shared documents with a team

believed to have been created by members of the Knights Templar.

One was a 12th-century map of Nova Scotia and the other was a map of Oak Island,

possibly dating back to 1347.

Astonishingly, it features several locations written in French.

But when translated to English, they marked known sites on the island,

such as the money pit, the swamp and a site called the December Triangle.

Could the stone cradle and boulder align with the location on a possible Templar map?

I've puzzled about whether or not this area could be

referencing the so-called December triangle and Zena's map.

I think we have to have a really proper look in the area in the vicinity of this

stone and see if there's more information to be revealed.

That will help us understand the relationship between the

drawing on Zena's map and this Megalithic stone structure.

I came across this area here of a blue light clay and you can clearly see that

there are chunks of charcoal like material mixed in with this clay.

I just not convinced that this blue gray clay is natural to this area.

Clay like this could be very similar to the clay that we find at the money pit.

I'm absolutely mesmerized by this blue clay.

I wonder if this is very similar to the clay from the money pit.

On lot 8, after removing some of the stones from the cradle-like feature that

was covered by the massive boulder, Fiona

has made it potentially important discovery.

If you look at the way the stones are, now I've removed a few, but it really

looks like this clay material have been used to mortar in kind of a round of wood.

The rounded section in the front of it is absolutely

intentional and purposeful and they were trying to conceal it.

And we did find some on lot 5.

Yeah, it makes it even more interesting.

Yeah, so if this matches that, then again, more connections.

In 1804, the Oslo Company carried out the first large-scale excavation of the money

pit and encountered wooden platforms every 10 feet down to the 90 foot level.

During the dig, they also reportedly found a thick layer of hand-work blue clay at

the 40 foot level, which they believed was used as a sealant to keep water out of the

shaft in order to protect something buried deeper below.

Curiously, in recent years, the team has discovered hand-work

blue clay in the swamp and in the round feature on lot 5.

If the owner is correct that she has now found the same kind of blue clay material

in this stone feature on lot 8, could it be more

evidence that this feature was created to hide something?

This could be anything.

The reality is there are lead and silver beyond baseline values within the

structure itself, possibly in association with a shaft or a tunnel.

So, we have to be patient at this point.

This has to be driven by the archaeological process.

Is there anything we can do with the clay?

Yeah, we'll get a nice, big chunk of that soil.

And then take that back to the lab and then we can run it to the XRD and see if

it matches the lot 5 till on the money pit till.

That's where it gets fun.

That's where it gets fun.

All right, let's get the sample done.

There, that's a good sample.

I'd like to give you this little bit here.

We'll need to get that to the lab as soon as we can.

There's a Y here.

Hopefully we can figure out what that is.

But I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it.

But let's just keep moving this forward

because we want to understand what it made me.

Yeah.

Go.

We've got a plan.

Thank you.

All right, see you guys.

The next morning.

That's the first can.

They're starting.

If we're going to find some top pocket finds, it's got a bit of a can.

In the money pit area, Rick joins other members of the

team as the TPF shaft is once again being excavated.

In a location where the highest trace evidence of silver has been detected more

than 200 feet deep in the solution channel.

Our first 150 feet is going to be pretty benign.

From there on, everyone on deck and everyone keep your eyes peeled.

A little 150 feet, everything's open game here.

Because the solution channel ranges between some 150 to 220 feet deep,

where the team believes the treasure has fallen

after the collapse of the original money pit.

It may take several days before the dig reaches its target depth.

Yeah, we're going to back fill out of here down over to 150 feet.

We are in the area where there is evidence of the collapse,

the area where we have retrieved significant items.

So I'm hoping, of course, that this top pocket find location will provide the answer.

We all look forward to getting down to the bottom here.

This is the one.

I sure hope you're right.

There are the little coins strongly hints that something is down there.

But at the end of the day, we can make this happen.

And we will.

We've just got to stay there, of course.

We're just going to chew through it until we get to the treasure.

You'll see it might be back.

Thank you, guys.

Later that day.

Morning, guys.

Hi.

Morning.

So we have Charlotte Wheatley here in the war room.

In the war room, Rick, Craig, and other members of the

team are meeting with researcher Charlotte Wheatley.

Charlotte, she has some new information.

And I think today should be exceedingly interesting.

So having said that, Charlotte, welcome to the war room.

Thank you very much.

In light of a possible connection between the lot eight feature.

And Zena Halpern's believed 14th century Templar map.

Charlotte, who is a colleague of Emiliano, Judy and Corion Mall, has been studying

the map to look for more clues that may help verify its

authenticity and how it may help solve the treasure mystery.

And I came across this information after researching

the Zena map, which I've done four years research on.

I examine every name and place according on the map.

And one of them, I found quite interesting.

I never had it before, was Lujon-Sudetamu, which means the lion cub of Atalmo.

What was interesting for me is how Catalmo connects to the islands.

There is a place in France called Talmo-Sudetamu.

So Talmo-Sudetamu is on the west coast of France.

It is a small fishing port.

One of the lightest features of Talmo is a beautiful medieval church.

And it's dedicated to a lesser-known female saint called Atalmo-Sudetamu.

It's got a very simple interior typical of Cestarsian influence.

It was built in the 11th of 12th century by Benedictine monks.

The Benedictines are a Catholic religious order that was founded in the sixth

century and adhered to what was known as the Rule of St.

Benedict, a moral code for leading a faithful and productive life.

These writings inspired the formation of an

order of monks known as the Cestarsians in 1098.

And one of their most noted leaders was Bernard of

Clervo, who co-founded the Knights Templar in 119.

The church was fortified, so that actually meant that they used it not only as a

church, but also as a forts, which is not a common thing on churches in France.

How does this connect to Okalen and why they're in your Sudetamu line cup of Kalman?

Really interestingly, they used to be a very intriguing feature that resembled the

Sphinx, and was actually known as the Sphinx of Kalman.

And as you can see, it is a Sphinx-like shape.

Sadly, it was destroyed in the earlier 20th century.

So there was nothing left today?

There is nothing left.

And the church itself used to overlook the Sphinx, so it makes

sense that this could actually be the lion cub of Kalman.

So what interested me is the church itself.

It's actually used to be pointing towards where the Sphinx was, roughly a 292.

4 degree angle.

And when you follow the line of the church, going through the front drawer and

continuing on a straight line, and you go across the Atlantic,

you end up on Okalen.

If that was one coincidence, that's fine.

What gets quite creepy is that about 60 kilometers away, I come across another

chapel, which is located in a place called Kaur, and it is also dedicated to the same

saint, Saint Radivance.

The church itself has acted at an angle of 292.1 degrees.

And when you follow that line, when the back of the church

in a perfectly straight direction, you arrive on Okalen.

Wow.

And again, this church was built by the same people who built the other church.

And in between both churches, there is another magic on church.

And this is actually located in a town of the same name, called Saint Radignant.

And it's orientated at a 292.1 degree angle.

So if you follow the acts of the church in a perfectly straight direction,

we arrive again on the island.

It's odd for sure.

So we have three churches under the same paint village, built by the same group of

people, located in the 60 kilometer radius, all on the west coast of France,

these three churches are pointing towards the islands.

It's interesting.

These three churches are pointing towards the islands.

So three points dedicated to the same lady, built by the same group of people.

In the war room, researchers Charlotte Wheatley is presenting new information

about three potentially template related churches in the region of Talmont,

France, that she believes are located on an

east-to-west line that leads directly to Okalen.

It just can't be coincidence.

I have tested this theory on lots of churches in France, and this doesn't happen.

So I've asked other researchers to check if the alignment seems correct.

And they all agree that these three buildings

seem to be perfectly aligned with the islands.

Talking about when was that built?

Same period.

We're talking about 13th, 12th, 13th, century.

Yeah.

It is curious.

It is.

The alignment Charlotte mentions that's incredibly curious

where the alignments with the church is purposeful.

There are perhaps our alignments that we are currently

unaware of with other features on the island.

Lot five, lot eight, the bog, the money pit.

Is there a connection here?

So I decided to take a look at the actual patron of these churches, St. Radicons.

She was born around the year 520, and she actually

wanted to dedicate her life to becoming a holy woman.

She made a monastery, and she turned into a sort

of place of learning, prayer, and pilgrimage.

Born into a royal family in the German land of Thuringia, Radicund became a

devout Christian nun and emigrated to France, where she founded the Catholic

Abbey of the Holy Cross in the city of Pontiers in 552 A.D.

A sacred site which reportedly houses a piece of the

so-called true cross on which Jesus was crucified.

And this is the thing that really got me.

It's the one I did research on her.

I noticed that she's known to carry a book, and

she's known to carry a book with a four-dot-class.

I've looked at lots of iconography of saints.

This is the only saint I found who's presented with a book with a four-dot-class.

In recent years, the team has visited numerous former strongholds of the Knights

Templar in France, Italy, Denmark, and Portugal.

Did you manage five feet?

I think something pretty interesting.

And in each location, they have seen prominent

carvings of crosses surrounded by four dots.

We have a four-dot-cross there in the corner that some experts have interpreted

to signify where the Templar order can sacred religious treasures.

Curiously, that same symbol was found by searchers on the so-called H.O.

Stone in 1921 on Oak Island has Charlotte found new clues on Zina Helperin's map

that may help verify a true connection to ancient Templar-related sites in Europe

and suggest it may be a key to locating where something

of great or sacred value lies hidden on the island.

The H.O.

Stone had had the cross of four dots.

I'm just wondering if continued research on that, and

you can also tie those symbols with those churches.

Yes, and I think maybe that's worth looking into.

If the connection that you're suggesting does exist, then the map, it does have a

piece of information that is connected possibly to Oak Island.

That's what, yeah.

It's possible, and it needs further developments.

It would be interesting to have a look on the island.

Maybe there's another H.O.

Stone out there.

That's fair.

Yeah.

But the question is what happened here?

I don't know, I'm going to say the biggest mystery in the universe, isn't it really?

I would like to think what happened here.

This is a sacred place that it was chosen for a reason,

and I obviously hope there's something buried here.

I hope you're going to find out.

Was your help?

We will.

We say thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

As a new morning, dawn's on Oak Island.

Here we go.

We're moving on down.

Yeah, we got another load coming up.

In the Money Pit area, Jerry, Terry and Jack

continued to monitor the dick in the T.P.F.

shaft.

We're slowly nearing the zone of interest in top pocket find one, and I'm very

hopeful that we're going to find clear evidence of the collapse of the Money Pit

and find something really valuable down in the solution channel.

Oh, what the...

It's not.

It's caving.

Geez.

There's material popping in.

Because the ground has suddenly begun to give way around the T.P.F.

shaft, the team from SB Canada had rocked equipment.

We'll need to move the oscillator to find out

if they can safely continue the excavation.

Wow.

This is not good.

We felt the ground shake, and you can see that the ground around the also,

as given white, has been a collapse.

Okay.

Good luck.

Holy cow.

It looks like we might have lost ground, did we?

Yeah.

We're losing stuff down below.

Wow.

We're losing stuff down below.

In the Money Pit area, after reaching a depth of some 105 feet in the T.P.F.

shaft, the surrounding earth has suddenly begun to

cave in, meaning a dangerous collapse could follow.

Going at this depth, it's a lot of wear and tear on everything.

There's a ton of friction.

There's a ton of stuff in the ground.

Like we've seen saddlemen on the outside of the casing.

We did see from the table the can was a little bit shaky.

It's more of a settlement from all the other work that's been done around it.

And the lighter material goes down as we

agitate all the way down with the oscillator.

It's dropping all the material through the bigger holes and slots.

I remember the last time there was a collapse in this area.

It looked so same.

Last year, the collapse went straight down the side of the casing.

You know, it was running full depth.

Hey.

You got a problem.

We're having caving.

One year ago, the earth surrounding the TV1 case on, located

less than 20 feet to the northwest, suddenly began to cave in.

And for safety, the team had to abandon the excavation of the shaft.

Now, as be Canada and rock equipment must act quickly to prevent a larger collapse

and allow the team to keep digging, where they have found the most compelling

evidence of treasure in the solution channel.

This is only about 10-12 feet up at the top, so it's

a perfect time to build it back up for back filling.

That'll solve that.

Yep.

That'll tighten it up.

You got a large diameter solid metal tubes being driven down into the ground.

And we've got a lot of activity going on where basically we have some cave ins.

These types of things, they create a lot of havoc.

There's material moving in and out away from the actual case on itself.

We have to mitigate those.

We have to push material back down into the hole because it's collapsed down in

and around the case on as we're pushing it down.

Now we've got this stabilizing everything from one-o-eight all the way up.

So I see we're going to pack a little bit

around it right now and then we move on, right?

Yep.

We're getting ready to transition between the bigger case into the smaller case.

Okay, good.

So it's telescoping time now.

Essentially, you know, avoid all the problems for splitting the hole in two, right?

Right.

We have the bigger casing takes top-up out.

Why don't you go and finish it off?

What's the reason for changing to a smaller case on?

The material that we're going through, we're

going through hundreds of feet of this stuff.

So it relieves all that tension.

Whatever it takes to get down, whatever it takes to get down there.

Once SB Canada, fills in the collapsed areas around the

eight-point diameter TPF shaft with gravel backfill.

They will continue the dig down to the solution channel.

Using smaller, seven foot diameter steel case arms.

This will safely allow them to dig below the

collapsed region and reach their target depth.

Anything and everything to assure that we're going to get all the way down to 220.

That's the goal.

Whatever it takes, right?

Yep.

Get down there, get deep.

Find Gary's treasure.

I love it.

See some of those top pocket finds.

When we get case on stone, very near the solution channel.

Things start to collapse.

I've seen it.

I've seen it collapse and collapse again.

And every time it was when we got close, when we got close to the bottom.

So that's why I think it's entirely possible that's where a treasure fell to.

So we absolutely have to get to at least 220 feet.

Not all of these.

Yeah, it looks like they're almost done.

So why don't we head back to the table?

So it's good.

Yep.

Rock on.

As the dig operation proceeds in the money pit area.

Hey, Carmen, appreciate you stopping by.

You got something to show me.

We do.

In the Oak Island lab, Alex and members of the team

are meeting with blacksmithing expert Carmen Legg.

They have invited him back to examine the rosehead

spike, retrieved from the Karma One spoils two days ago.

Carmen, this spike was found by the wash plant

team in the spoils of the Karma One case on.

Emma, you have some analysis of this spike.

Compositionally is a unique iron.

What's unique about it is that it has an exceptionally high phosphorus content.

So it categorizes quiltwork, meaning it's brittle in colder climates.

Quiltwork or quilt brittle.

When an iron has a high phosphorus content,

which affects its strength in quilt climates.

Quiltwork iron is a great indicator for an iron age.

Because now, in modern times, we can control the effects

of phosphorus as it's a trait that we just don't want.

It does have some trace amounts of manganese, but even a higher amounts of sulfur.

So it's a weird mixture within a composition.

So the most likely date is mid-1700s at least.

Wow.

So Carmen, what can you tell us?

Well, it's a square shank spike.

I'm going to say it was probably five or six inches long.

Originally, it's hard to see the head on this,

but it looks like it's very crudely made.

It doesn't have any form to it.

What does the show on the skin, Emma?

Well, it's just basically smashes down.

It must run.

Yeah.

But it's not formed.

It was driven straight down, and the fibers are all split out like mushroom.

This is a piece of something larger.

And they took it and drove it into something.

So probably the reason they reused it is because it broke.

So an improvised spike.

Yeah.

I think they reused it and just smashed it into something.

You just came from where?

We do know for a fact it came from below 167 feet.

So to me, that means that it's deeper than any

searchers have reached, especially in that area.

Which makes it very interesting.

Yep.

And these are typically used for clanking, you know, not for the main structures or

anything, but oftentimes when they were making large boxes or bolts, that leads me

to think that this was used to build a wooden vault or some

sort of structure down below for safe keeping something.

This is something that you would see oftentimes when they were making large

boxes or bolts or something they wanted to keep safe.

Some valuable they wanted to keep safe.

That'd be good.

That is what we're looking for.

In the Oak Island Lab, Carmen Lake is examining a potentially mid 18th century

spike that was recovered from nearly 170 feet deep in the Karma One shaft.

This is something that was reused.

You know, any effort here on the island was obviously done in secret.

If there was a deposit made, they had to use what they brought.

And this is sort of speaking to that.

And is there enough wiggle room in that early date to include 1746?

Absolutely.

Well, that's interesting because that allows for the possibility of Duke to handle.

Because we're talking about one ship that got separated from the main fleet that

decided most prudent to bury what they were carrying.

So it didn't fall into enemy hands.

So they would have had to work with what they had on that one ship.

Could Doug be correct that the team may have found a new clue linking possible

buried treasure in the money pit to the Duke Donvee, an 18th century French noble

whose family had links to the Knights Templar.

In 2017, Doug found part of a ship's log in the Nova Scotia archives that described

the burial of treasure in a deep pit on an island in this area back in 1746.

The log was reportedly written by a crew member under the Duke Donvee's command.

This little spike is maybe telling us that our theory about the collapse is correct.

And that we're close because we're picking up

traces of something from the original money pit.

So we would be then looking at just remnants of things

that didn't make it all the way down there in the collapse.

So even though we didn't hit the treasure in karma,

finding this spike tells us that we were close.

The hope is, if it is something from the money pit, if it is something from a chest

or a box, to me, it speaks to the possibility that other things will be found.

That could be the source of the silver concentrations that are indicated by the

soil samples and the water samples at this location.

And hopefully there's something down there at the top pocket find one.

It's very interesting.

So, you know, thank you both for your analysis.

I think it says we're on the right track and we need to keep going.

So, that said, we will try to bring you guys some more to look at.

Burgo?

Thank you.

See you later.

Later that day.

While the excavation of the T.B.F.

shaft continues in the money pit area.

How's it going?

Hey, Rick.

We just lifted a couple more rocks.

And under those rocks, we're getting organics.

Are you having a download?

Go for it.

Rick joins Jack and the archaeology team as they continue

excavating the cradle-like formation of stones on lot 8.

No idea how deep.

No idea.

No, but it's giving us a reason to keep going.

So, we're going to try to expose the base and

then work our way up to see how it was built.

Do you think what you're calling the second level?

Is that natural?

Or are those placed as well?

No, I think there's still all placed.

Right now, this seems to be firmly affixed.

I can't get it out.

We're all curious, you know.

I can give it a try.

I'm not saying I can do it, though.

Yeah, exactly.

You come this way, I'll go that way.

I'll disturb those.

Oh, no, that goes there.

Oh, there's no gift to that.

That's amazing.

They are locked in.

They're tight.

A lot of 80 presents all kinds of possibilities.

One of which has to include that Zina's map may have some relevance here.

Oh, why that's a map?

Whether because this construction was some sort of

alignment, or maybe there's something under there.

We need to figure out what this construction represents.

Oh, wow, that is definitely in there.

Yeah, I think that's in there.

I think that could be re-deposed in this.

I think it is.

It's embedded.

No, I really want it out.

They're fixed in there.

Quite tight.

Yeah.

Scrape this, though.

Yeah, it almost looks like some sort of hard clay.

Yeah, it's a...

I would put a little chunk like that, some

water, and see what its consistency turns into.

It might be able to reconstitute it as it was used.

Yeah.

A little water there, Jack.

Yeah.

See what turns into anything.

Okay.

Thank you.

Is it turning into, like, a clay?

Well, like, almost like... Almost a little bit, like cement.

Yeah, now that looks like cement.

This is unbelievable.

Now, that looks like cement.

Yeah.

That's why this health, right?

Yeah.

And this is just all filled in.

Mm-hmm.

That's what you see here.

Oh, yeah.

On lot 8, Rick has just discovered evidence that the stones, which were

uncovered below the massive boulder, appeared to have

been set in place with man-made mortar or cement.

Once it dries all, but it hears perfectly to that.

Really gritty cement.

Yep.

And you wouldn't think, when you break it apart, we're not just sand.

Yeah.

The bet there's a lot of calcium carbonate in here.

When you compare this, I will mentally to cement through the ages.

And I think you're going to get a fairly accurate

date, like, from Roman cement on forward.

Be interesting to see which kind of cement this matches.

Oh, yeah.

That would be interesting.

That would be crazy.

Because different types of concrete mixtures have

been used throughout the ages of human construction.

Dating back as far as ancient Egypt.

Could determining the contents of this material help

the team approximate when this feature was created?

I believe the mortar or the cement-like material might

reveal a wind, maybe even tell us, where does it come from?

There are cultural associations.

Hopefully, there can be some answers derived from

this analysis that mixture might be quite revealing.

It resembles a lot of five on the semicircular feature.

It looks a lot like the clay we found there.

What turned out to correlate with the maroon tail from the money pit.

Yeah.

It would be interesting to see how it tests.

Yeah.

Well, if it corresponds to those two, you've got something big on your hands.

Oh, look at that!

In addition to the blue clay found on lot five and reportedly by earlier searchers

in the money pit, the legginess and their team have also discovered a

similar-looking mortar-like material in the round feature on lot five that matched

soil samples for more than 100 feet deep in the money pit area.

It's all smeared all through here.

So if the team can match this cement material on lot eight to those structures,

couldn't that mean?

All three may have been built by the same people.

To move a 40,000-pound rock into a position on a nicely crafted rock crate.

I mean, you have to come up with a theory as

to why somebody was moved to move that boulder.

And maybe they were trying to hide some very important.

What in the heck went on on this island?

I just raised the mystery to new levels.

There was a reason for this, and it wasn't just to support that boulder.

It could go deeper.

It could.

When the archeology will tell.

Okay, well, you know what?

I'm going to let you two get back to work.

All right.

I have a feeling those rocks are going to need

a little bit of persuasion to come on there.

Yeah, I'll do my best.

Okay, look.

All right.

Thank you.

By digging in the ground and far back into history, Rick, Marty, Craig, and their

team are finding mounting evidence that people journey to a

island long ago to hide precious and perhaps sacred secrets.

And through patience and tireless effort, they may have identified not only

structures that those people inhabited, but now at least

two other locations where those secrets could lie buried.

So as the team looks deeper, have they uncovered the final barriers between them

and the ultimate answers?

Or will they encounter something much harder

to break through than bedrock and concrete?

Next time on the Curse of Oak Island.

Head up.

Broken through the end of the solution channel.

Yeah, so we're looking forward.

The three churches have exactly the same stellar alignment of long five.

This could be a tunnel shaft entrance.

Maybe it's just right under here.

A piece of wood.

What's wood doing down that day?

Maybe this wood came from the original money pit.

If there's wood at the top, maybe there's gold at the bottom.

Possibly treasure on deck.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, we got here.
