Tonight on the Curse of Oak Island.

Right now.

We're walking through the end of the solution channel.

Yeah, so we're looking forward.

The three churches have exactly the same stellar alignment of log 5.

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, we got here.

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.

Oh, wow, Fiona.

You've gotten so much done.

Wow.

This must look a little different before.

Yeah.

A new day on Oak Island brings the team fresh hope for a breakthrough discovery.

As Rick, Craig and members of the team investigate

the cradle-shaped feature of stones on lot eight.

I can't wait to show you how this is progressing and what I'm seeing in here.

It's been changing as I've gone along.

So once we removed that third layer of rocks became across the substance,

which was like mortar.

It could cement like material.

So it makes me feel like they did this in a way that

they wanted these rocks to stay in place for some reason.

And what I've discovered this morning, as I've been digging around this,

this particular area here.

As I've been removing the rocks, they were extremely hard to get out.

But I've got enough of the smaller rocks out now that I

think that maybe you should see if you could get that moved.

I have gloves on.

Don't be able to try.

I think you guys would... any of you would be welcome.

You'll notice there's still some of what I

call these pinner rocks holding this in place.

And I'm going to try to just step right down so I don't move anything.

Hopefully.

Oh, it's pretty sturdy.

All right.

Oh, yeah, that's impostor.

After revealing this formation beneath a 40,000 pound boulder, the team has

discovered hand-worked blue clay and a mortar-like

cement, which were used to seal the stones together.

And after scientifically examining the soils within

the feature, they have found traces of silver and lead.

This suggests evidence of another possible structure

containing something of great value may be buried deeper below.

Did you get it?

Yep.

No brow.

Oh, I'm amazed.

Okay, where do you want me to throw this over there?

Well, how about right here if that's fine for now?

Okay.

I'm actually keeping all of these rocks because I just

want to get an idea of how many we've taken out in total.

It does look like there's some dark organic underneath it there.

Mm-hmm.

The mortar-like material was done very well and we had three types of it.

We found a very, very fine one, which is down here.

And if I were to put it on my trowel, you can see how fine it is.

A very fine powder material, which is actually similar

to what you're seeing on the outskirts of this.

And we've taken samples to see if we can compare them.

Then we had a very blue-like clay sample, if you can kind of see some of it in here.

But this blue, blue gray clay had some very similarities according to Dr.

Spooner to what we think the puddling clay is at the money pit.

So we've taken samples to compare against the clay

that we found at the money pit just in case it matches.

And then you have this third mortar material, which

is what you see at this north end, very cement-like.

What I'm wondering is if any of those have materials that are not from here,

you know, sourced from somewhere else, then it's group positive that is deliberate.

We're also going to compare it to the mortar material that we found on lot five.

And we think lot five is pretty old.

But if we do get matches, then that could be information for both sites as well.

Based upon the analysis of the mortars, we'll

be able to pin down when this was built.

Yeah.

You know, to me, it's so amazing, but what is it?

What does it mean?

I mean, at this point in time, we have no idea, no idea.

So this could be a tunnel shaft entrance.

Maybe it's just right under here.

Yeah, well, it definitely goes deeper.

Some of us want to dig below the cradle with heavy equipment, and I know that the

archaeologists, especially if you don't want to have an

intense desire to do it in a very disciplined fashion.

I think all parties agree that if something's

underneath it, we want to know what that something is.

We just have to be patient.

What are you going to do?

You're going to bisect it there.

The plan is to do a bisection on this left side here.

We'll take it right down, look at exactly how they constructed it.

And I think as we're removing these rocks, I

would like to get samples of the soil underneath.

Okidoo, we'll let you get after it.

Great job.

Thank you for your honor.

Thanks, guys.

Later that afternoon.

Guys, Alex, how are you doing?

Alex and Jack arrive in the Money Pit area, where the excavation of the TPF

shaft has nearly breached the solution channel.

And in an area where soil testing during their core drilling operation detected

high traces of silver, more than 200 feet deep.

Where are we at?

We've been low, 167.

We've got to learn something very hard.

We're cutting into it that got some good recovery.

We could see little bits of gypsum if we're really

close to the ledge that overhangs the solution channel.

Previous drilling that reached the solution channel has made the team aware

of a thick ledge or layer of bedrock between 150 and 170 feet

deep that acts as a ceiling for the large natural cavity.

Hey, Rick, how are you doing?

Good.

You see how much smoke is coming off.

They're kind of key if it's being generated.

There's a lot of heat filled up on that thing.

That's from tuning into bedrock.

You see the key gypsum inside of it.

Wow.

We're so close.

Really tan alloys in.

But this material that comes up, we've got a really

good chance of actually finding some top pocket fines.

Yep.

Absolutely.

There's no give up on the table.

So, get after it.

Sounds good.

As the teams from SBC and Rock work to drill through the bedrock ledge.

Gentlemen, it is data and analysis time.

Always a good time.

I've always interesting.

Rick, Marty, Craig and other members of the team have gathered in the war room.

We have in bona fide expert in laser ablation Dr. Chris McFarland.

He's been in this war room before.

Let's get him on the screen.

Yep.

Dr. McFarland.

Hello, fellas.

The team is meeting with Dr. Chris McFarland, a professor

of geochemistry at the University of New Brunswick.

He is one of the leading testing facilities in

North America for the study of historical artifacts.

We're going to discuss the decorative lead piece phone by you, Rick.

Yeah, Charles and I.

Dr. McFarland has analyzed a lead artifact found earlier this

year in spoils removed from the round feature on lot five.

So, what is your ablation and isotope analysis say about that?

Yeah, I just pulling it up here.

Laser ablation is a process of removing microscopic

samples from lead objects using a high-powered laser.

The isotopic values of the samples are then analyzed to potentially identify not

only when the object was made, but also the geographic region where it originated.

The decorative lead piece, the incrustation on it is quite sodium rich,

which suggests that it's been there a while.

The silver content is actually quite high.

Wow.

And it's sort of anomalous compared to modern lead.

Okay.

The actual fabrication is probably pre-industrial.

And pre-dates anything happening in North America

in the turn of the last century, more or less.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Quite typical of essential European source.

Then by central European, I mean UK, France, and Germany.

Sort of in that part of the world.

Wow.

I do have another piece of information for you though.

Good.

It also bears some similarity with the scalloped

artifact from Lot 5 that we previously analyzed.

Is it topically it matches this decorative lead piece, right?

Correct, yeah.

Wow.

And we think that's from medieval times.

That's really, really cool.

In the war room, Dr. Chris McFarland has just informed the team that the lead

artifact found in the spoils of the round feature on Lot 5 has a similar composition

to the potentially 14th century scalloped disk that was also found in the 2022.

I came from a deposit of a similar age somewhere across central Europe.

Interesting.

That's pretty neat.

Okay, and we can also infer that it doesn't fit the mining profile of North America.

Yeah.

And that's probably what we can garner from this, correct?

Yeah, those are all true statements, I would say.

Okay, we're good.

So this fits with the bulk of the artifacts from that area.

In addition to this lead piece and the scalloped disk, the team has found

enormous artifacts in the Lot 5 feature that predate the discovery of the money

pit in 1795 and originated in Europe.

These include a button made of our cynical bronze that may be at least 700 years old.

Two decorative buttons and several glass beads that may date to the 17th century

and two glass gemstones that may have originated

in France during the mid 18th century.

We now have artifacts, a lot five, that on a bell-shaped

curve, on the far end you have the Roman coins.

On the other end you have pottery and glass and other

artifacts that indicate people were there in it early 1800s.

I believe it speaks to again that this effort here on

Okai that long ago was done, and multi-generationally.

Ok, Dr. McFarland, thank you very much.

I always interested in finding out what you have learned, and we appreciate it.

Pleasure.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Okie-doke, I think we all have a lot to do, so let's go.

The next morning... I look at here guys, thank you.

How are you doing?

Good to see you.

Done crawl, and other members of the team meet with Carmen Legg in the Okai then lab.

You've got some more stuff to show me.

We've got a couple of pieces of chain here.

Look, pretty old.

Oh, have a look.

Carmen is examining two hand-forged sections of chain

that were found in the spoils of the Karma One shaft.

This shaft excavated one week ago, less than ten feet from

where the team is currently digging in the money pit area.

This was made way down into solution channel depths.

And that's what we're hoping to see for signs of the collapse of the money pit.

Oh, I see.

Well, they're both similar.

They have a big elongated link on the end.

A lot of times these were used in two create

short of a basket for lowering and raising items.

Picture a treasure chest wrapped in chains, right?

It's possible, yeah.

If Carmen is correct, is it possible that the team has recovered chains that may

have been used to lower something into the original money pit?

Carmen, is there anything about the chain that you

see that they indicate where it may have been made?

I'm going to have to say no, Scott, because this is a generic

chain style, chain design, made over many, many years.

I do notice that this one here has been in the middle of the long link.

And that reinforces my idea that I had to fit the coins through and then locked in.

And some stress or force on to it meant that link alone.

This one was made by a blacksmiths that knew his stuff.

This one here, however, wasn't.

And I'm going to say that these were made by two different blacksmiths.

Emma, I'm curious about the dates.

Based on a metallurgy, I would give these late 1600s

to mid 1700s and typical of some European regions.

Well, I kind of like Emma's date range because

I'm kind of partial to Duke Donville's expedition.

I mean, that was 1746.

Is that from his efforts?

That would be a perfect fit for the date range.

And you did say Europe for a point of origin.

Could Doug Croll be correct that these chains may provide another potential link

to the Duke Donville, a French Admiral, with ties to the Knights Templar?

The Duke Donville is believed to have ordered treasure to

be buried on a wooded island in this area back in 1746.

This is corroborated by part of a ship's log

that Doug found in the Nova Scotia archives.

The chains that were found in the Carmel-1 spoils, one artifact is not substantiated

to theory in its totality, but it does give you a clue.

We're in the same area with the top locker find

location and hopefully it will yield results.

It's very exciting.

I mean, finding something that old from deeper than the deepest shaft in the money

pit is a reason to keep going.

I think it's crossed we find some more.

And I'm sure there is more.

Thanks, Cameron.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, I'm ready to find something in this feature

that's going to tell us something truly significant about it.

I can get the thing that...

Layered Nippant and other members of the team are back

on Lot 5, investigating the rounded stone foundation.

After I get this bucket filled, maybe I'll do a little bit more closer.

I hope we find more artifacts.

After the scientific report on the mysterious let-on

effect, the team is eager to search for additional clues.

Obviously, humans created this, but why is it here?

What's its purpose?

Who did it?

When did they do it?

You see it as it sits in front of you and all the work that's been done by Layered

Nippant, but because of multi-generational

activities, we still struggle with who was here first.

It'd be great if you could find a bead right now.

There's a high potential to find even more.

All right, we can do that.

I found something.

Hey, Layered.

Yep.

I've got something here.

What a great start.

Hey, Layered.

I've got something here.

Cool.

It's metal.

Oh, it's a little powdery.

In the rounded feature, on lot five, Tansy

Rudnicki has just discovered a curious artifact.

It's got a finished edge, which is kind of neat.

A bit of a design.

That looks like the rim of a button, perhaps.

It's got a definite edge.

It's just good.

It's tiny.

It's thin for a button, isn't it?

It is.

The last year there was a button found great in here.

That turned out to be made of recycled, by cynical bronze from the medieval period.

This is pretty interesting.

Is it possible that Tansy has just found another clue that may date to the same

period as the believed medieval button and perhaps the

scalloped disc and lead artifact that were also uncovered here?

If so, could it be more evidence that this feature

was originally constructed more than 700 years ago?

The occupation of the round feature on Lot 5 is undocumented.

So we turn to the archaeological evidence.

And it's telling us that the last occupation on Lot 5 was the end of the 1700s.

But what's really significant are the earlier artifacts we're finding.

The ones that date from before 1750, showing two occupations.

But we've got lots of work left to do, so hopefully we're going to find even more.

And we've found some nice stuff, right?

Feeds and buttons just in this area.

And that's why we're expanding this way to see what else is there.

This is the main area, so there's just a lot going on here.

High activity means they lose things, and they obviously have.

It's just cool.

The noise you want to just keep expanding.

Same.

I mean, that's a great find.

So I'm going to take it back to the lab and see what it's made of.

I'll let you know.

Keep digging.

All right, see ya.

As the investigation of Lot 5 continues, later that afternoon, off-pocket find,

let's hope it's named properly.

Rick, Marty, and Craig arrive in the money pit area, where the T.P.F.

shaft has finally broken through the bedrock ledge and reached the solution channel.

Pretty nice.

Artie, how you doing?

Good.

Good, Terry.

What do you park?

They're pushing the auger just a little ahead of the casing at this time.

So they're at about 175.

So we're just about there.

Exactly, because we're into the void beneath the ledge.

That's what we're looking for.

And that's exactly the little level for Marty, for sure.

It's like we're switching to the hammer around there.

There we go.

Because the team has now breached the solution channel, they are now replacing

the auger cutting tool, with a hammer grab and a dig bucket, to safely retrieve the

spoils, and hopefully, evidence of treasure.

Just don't have a load, mate.

So let's do some bumping.

For sure.

All right, it's finding some good stuff, Rick.

We know we've broken into the solution channel.

If the treasure or a piece of the treasure is

down there, it should be around this depth.

Now it's getting exciting.

I want to see what's in those drill buckets.

Oh, they saw a piece of wood.

That's it.

Is that wood?

Yeah, piece of wood.

Yeah.

I'm going to go check on that piece of wood, just in case it's something.

Okay.

Rick, I'll take that piece of wood.

Yeah, there.

I'll grab it.

What's wood doing down that deep?

It's been a long, long time since the last wood that we saw coming out of the hole.

This is not like a tree that fell into a sinkhole or something.

That's a clear cut.

It's been, you know, shaped or utilized by somebody.

I guess it's possible that it pulled out just shy of the bottom of the chapel shaft.

Yeah.

I mean, we could be at the edge.

Could the team be correct that they may have

encountered evidence of the chapel shaft?

The shaft built in 1931 in an unsuccessful attempt to recover, I believe,

seven foot tall treasure vault.

I'll see if it floats or something.

If it sinks, that's a hell of a sign, isn't it?

Right.

That's what Dan always thought.

You know, one thing that Dan Blankenship had always said, when

he brought up wood, he'd always tested by putting in a bucket.

His experience was if it sank, it was old wood.

If it was, if it tended to float, it was more modern searcher wood.

So we always do that test right away.

It goes down like a rock.

And seeing it sink right then, it's also telling me that this isn't searcher wood.

It shouldn't be wood this deep.

It sinks like a rock.

So if that's the case, then maybe this wood came from the original money thing.

Well, it's pretty cool.

We're looking for a collapse.

It's virtually frozen.

Could Marty's notion be correct?

Is it possible this wood is not from a searcher

shaft, but perhaps the original money pit?

It's what are extremely important because this is the

first indications that the collapse, in fact, occurred.

And that were near it.

And maybe the treasure too.

I mean, this is where we detected a whole bunch of silvers.

We're into that.

End of the day.

Okay, so how deep are we?

We are about 186, 27.

I mean, things are moving since we're still turning.

We're going to call it a day for today.

We're not going to give up.

We figure out what that hole has to tell us.

And we need to keep going.

We need to keep looking tomorrow.

You know, we're going to go to the bottom of the sushi channel.

We're going to see what's there.

And if everybody crosses their fingers, we'll find something.

Yeah, there's wood at the top.

Maybe there's gold at the bottom.

Exactly.

All right, we've got to get there at them.

Yep.

We want to make holes tomorrow.

Yep.

We're working on it.

Well, kid, okay.

Yep.

We'll pick it up tomorrow.

Thank you.

Thank you, friends.

Thanks, guys.

See you in the morning.

We're in the Swiss channel right now.

So, time's going to tell us.

It has a new morning.

Dons on Oak Island.

Upchips.

Usibility.

Treasure on deck.

Members of the team carefully searched through

the spoils being unearthed from the T.P.F.

shaft.

You've got a signal.

I don't think it's in that slot.

I think it's underneath it.

Oh, well, let me have a pinpoint make because you might have got it here.

Let's see what this is.

Got it in my hand.

Now, this has got potential.

I don't know what that is, but it's a little bit different with a black around.

it.

You never know what it could be.

Yeah.

But it's been there a while.

Yeah, it's been there.

It's probably it could be iron.

Yeah.

You got the depth?

Bottom of that hole.

We just pulled it out of 193 feet deep.

I love me, Chunkie.

Iron.

When you find an older effect and crusted in the clay, you know it's been there.

A very long time.

What a heck of a start to the day.

All right, guys.

Good morning.

Morning.

We got for exciting finds.

Anything this morning?

Yeah.

We have got a good find.

We just pulled it out of the clay.

And this has got a lot of potential mate because of the colour.

And the toad it gave me.

This is more than likely going to be iron.

Wow.

It's got potential.

Yeah.

This is definitely dense.

Wow.

This is old.

We didn't.

This is... It looks old.

Yeah.

How deep?

Well.

That's way, way, way, way below.

Any searcher.

Yeah.

An actual dish is something neat.

Going through the, going through the bedrock plateau above it.

If there was a collapse into this region, which that seems to

indicate, then that could be signs of the original money pit.

The only reason we could be finding stuff like this below where searchers have been

before is either the original works or evidence

of the collapse of the original money pit.

And that will be a great, great indication that we're in the

right place and that there's really something going on here.

Millie's way to do it.

Let's take a look.

See, Craig, it looks like a piece of wood into our gram.

With more interesting, it's, it's in dry material.

Yeah.

Yeah, that whole side looks like it was up, I guess, a different material.

Yeah, exactly.

Good eye.

I'm near the bottom of the T.B.F.

one.

We found what I feel is solid material adjacent to loose slush material.

It's good indication that you might have an open void nearby

where a treasure could fall into in the solution channel.

Are you doing any good?

We're dropping my gangbusters here.

We just pulled up wood.

But on this side, it's all got a four of a dryer sandy

compared to the muck that they're bringing up everywhere else.

Yeah, but I think we could be adjacent to an actual open void.

Yeah, that's what I think we're seeing here.

And that wood didn't get there itself.

No, no, that's, that's how to place an 195 feet, whatever we're at.

That's 195-ish.

Yeah.

Let me see that piece of wood, please Alex.

Yeah.

It's heavy, dense.

It's even better.

That's a piece of shaped wood.

Yeah.

There's only one explanation that I can come

up with right now for why that's now in there.

And that is the collapse.

Yeah, we're getting another confirmation of it.

It's very, very interesting.

Good.

Let's bring it back to the lab.

Is that the deepest we've ever retrieved the wood?

Anything substantial, yeah.

If you find something in the solution channel,

well below where any searcher ever was.

If that got there, then the treasure could get there.

And we have solid indications that there was a treasure here.

So any artifact below searcher depth is exciting.

Hey.

Hey, Gwen.

Yes.

What are you doing?

What are we at?

We're down to 206.5 feet.

Okay.

So we are right down where you are.

Very close.

Open to be very close.

We're within 10 feet of the bottom.

Almost half to be.

The bottom round here is 215 to 270 to 18, so we're getting very close.

Yeah.

I mean, this is where it starts to get exciting.

Because you're about to reach the bottom of the solution channel.

There's every hope that, as this process continues, and the spoils come up above

ground and carry metaly text, you'll find it.

Really just scooped out another piece of wood.

Every time you put a can in the ground, you're hoping to find the one thing.

And there's all kinds of reasons to believe that we will.

It's a money pit stew.

This is pretty soft.

Look at that.

It's a good signal.

It's a good signal.

It's a fairly sharp.

And anyway, you're like...

So now I'm not sure if it's a good signal.

See what we go.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Whoa.

I saw the roundness.

Yeah.

While searching spoils from nearly 210 feet deep in the

solution channel, the team is just found a metallic object.

Brass, isn't it?

Yeah, it looks like it's almost like a bearing.

There it is.

How do you all wait a tail or not to ask Adam?

Adam's coming in now.

What is that?

It's a button head to what it's called.

Top of your stuff?

Top of yours, but it's more like if you're

running a smaller diameter and be on your outside.

Yep.

What bit?

A button bit.

A full way out of gold coin for a minute.

Unfortunately, the button bit is merely a cutting tool that

likely broke off the rim of a smaller diameter case on.

As it broke through bedrock during one of the

team's previous dig operations in this area.

Good, I'll put it in the belt.

Thank you, Adam.

Thanks, Adam.

It's disappointing because it's not what we're looking for, obviously.

But again, because it's not part of this work currently undertaken by SBC and rock,

it has fallen from above.

And that proves once again that everything's migrate down through the

soils to the bottom of this solution channel.

Oh, look who's here.

Well, well.

Hey, guys, how you doing?

We were on bottom with the drill dig there, so about 2.15.

2.15.

Oh, good.

We're at the button.

It's where we work to be.

Perfect.

Nice, guys.

Still finding quite a bit of wood falling out of the bucket.

There was a collapse into the solution channel.

Yeah.

Yeah, I had to be.

And we know the records that didn't want to get itself disappeared.

Yeah.

We just got a bloody find it.

Look at that.

Anything good falling to that.

It's going to save anything there.

Everything we saw in top pocket one indicates that our theory is correct.

That the money pit collapsed into the solution channel.

That's it, mate.

Give it a good shot.

So not only is the theory correct, I think we're getting close to where it happened.

So we're very excited to keep going.

Now we prove the theory, but we didn't find the treasure.

And that is probably the sort of elephant in the room.

As we're deciding where to go next.

We're searching areas that have never been searched before.

You say it all the time.

A technical success.

It is.

A proof of concept.

Yes, things falling to the bottom of the solution channel.

The one thing that obviously we're missing is Gary's top pocket find.

I am not disillusioned at all.

The reality of it is a bit disappointing.

But you have to admit that.

Because you've got to climb that mountain again.

All right.

Keep going.

I'm not about to quit.

There's still a lot to hope for.

But at the end of the day, we've got to move on.

We've got to pick the next location.

And the next location could be the location.

We've only just started searching the solution channel.

So there is a lot to look forward to.

The following morning.

Thanks for joining because this should be a very exciting war.

Thank you, Lorraine, for having us again.

As the team considers where their next day will be in the money pit area.

First, we'll get the professor and Marcia.

We'll get them up on the screen.

They are meeting once again via video conference.

With Arkyo Astronomy expert, Professor Adriana Gaspani, and his interpreter,

Marcia Sebastiani.

And Emiliano, I'll turn it over to you.

Well, today we are going to present an archaeological analysis of the churches

that Charlotte Whitley found to be aligned with Oak Island.

So we have three churches, all on the west

coast of France, pointing towards the islands.

One week ago, researchers Charlotte Whitley pointed out a reference to the

city of Tomong-surge-round in southern France, on Zena Halpern's map of Oak

Island, which Zena believed was created by members

of the Knights Templar in the 14th century.

According to Charlotte, three medieval churches near Tomong-surge-round had ties

to the Templar order and sit on an east-to-west

line that points directly toward Oak Island.

Now, after being given the GPS coordinates of several structures across the island,

including the round feature on Lot 5, Professor

Gaspani has analyzed Charlotte's research.

So, no, it's not even easy, right?

Work a picture.

And compared it with its own study of historical stellar alignments between the

churches and specific features on the island.

We have an alignment with the rising of sewers.

And then on the opposite side, we have a star

alignment with the play it is and with Hamal.

Now, we have a little bit more than a different level.

And we'll put it here, a little bit.

Now I have a little bit of material, just for some reason.

And what is really interesting is when it comes to stellar alignment.

They are exactly the same alignment that you have in locked five.

That's stunning.

This is incredibly thought-provoking.

Yeah.

So, the two dateings of the structures suggest the same historical period.

And the elements that we have seem to point in the direction of the 13th century.

So, thanks to this archaeostronomical techniques, we managed

to have a date for this structure of a stone in locked five.

We managed to have a date for this structure of a stone in locked five,

which is 1236.

Very interesting.

In the war room, Professor Adriana Gaspani has informed the team that based on

historic stellar alignments, he believes that the round feature on locked five may

have been created by members of the Knights Templar in the early 13th century.

This structure is visible to the Knights Templar in the early 13th century.

This structure is visible to the Knights Templar in the early 13th century.

This structure would be built in the same period where we assumed that there was a

Templar present on Oak Island, which is pretty

consistent with the dating of Nolan's cross.

I assume all three of these churches date to the same era then, the total hundreds?

Yeah.

Roughly by the end of the 1100s and the early 1200s.

Well, I'm having a hard time rejecting this one.

Yeah.

It seems like somebody was here, let's say,

from France, from the Talmont region of France.

In the 1200s, they established a base of operations.

And then when you consider the Plato coin, the latest date it could be is from 1383.

So, Zina introduced us to her Oak Island map that mentioned Talmont, right?

That was supposed to represent a Templar journey to the island.

Here we see a lot of these factors converging together.

All these areas that were denoted as significant

on her map are proven to be significant today.

Yeah.

And the latest being the law to eat structure as well is the December triangle.

December triangle?

Yeah.

So, this could well be a multi-generational endeavor because they

established their base of operations and then

move something that gave value over time.

Yeah.

Could Doug and Steve be correct that this new research has helped to validate Zina

Halpern's map of Oak Island, as well as her belief that the Templar order and

their descendants made repeated trips to Oak

Island beginning nearly eight centuries ago.

The 1200s years ago would have been weird to laugh at.

And that's quite meaningful because now there's a body of evidence building that

it perhaps is the point of beginning of some

endeavor here on the island to do something.

So, again, we want to thank you both for your time today.

It's quite stunning information.

I think it's amazing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And we need to use everything.

We have in our toolbox, if you will, to prove it.

But we can't prove it without continuing to do the work.

So, let's get at it.

Sounds good.

Thanks, everybody.

The money pits long-held secret remains elusive, at least for now.

But once again, by searching for clues where none have thought to look before.

Rick, Marty, Craig, and the team may be closing in on the

truth behind the world's longest-running treasure hunt.

Could the origin of this mystery be older and

more profound than anyone thought possible?

Perhaps.

One more dig in the solution.

The solution channel will reveal the answer.

Next time on the Curse of Oak Island.

Here we go.

Hey, baby.

Hey, guess what?

Wow.

Oh, wow.

Brilliant.

Oh, look at that.

We're starting to get this material.

This is going me away right now because it's nothing I've ever seen before.

This is a covered well, right?

Yeah, it is.

Oh, this has got potential.

Oh, look at that.

it's pre-modern all the way back to medieval.

No way.
