Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.

I found the treasure map leading to Oak Island.

It is concealed in holes in the manuscripts of William Shakespeare.

And it also tells you what the treasure is.

You believe that the menorah from the Temple of Solomon could be buried on Oak

Island? Yeah, this is it.

I'm actually getting multiple signals.

I'm jumping in. Hey!

Hey, guys.

Hey.

What's up? New suction hose. We got the hose. We got the pumps.

We got the swamp.

Yeah. Grab a hold of that hose.

It looks pretty heavy. Get after it. Young guys to the front.

Rick and Marty Lagina are convinced they may be close to solving the mystery.

Where do you want this?

And to find the curse of Oak Island.

In the past few weeks, they found unusual metal artifacts in one of the

old treasure shafts. Oh, oh, oh my gosh.

Mysterious bones.

We can see if they're actually human bones.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, there it is.

And a significant amount of coconut fiber.

Now, their efforts are focused on Oak Island's mysterious swamp, which many

believe was created as a hiding place, or even a gateway to an underground

treasure vault.

Pick that up, Jack, if you will, so he's not dragging it.

Let's just get it coupled up first. Let's hook it right here, and we'll all

help him push it in, because look, we're right here.

Right now, we're going to do what Rick has been wanting to do. We're going to

drain the swamp.

Okay. Because there's been a lot of conjecture that there's something hidden

in that swamp, and nobody's ever done it. I mean, there have been holes

drilled all over the place, and people have dug tunnels all over the place, but

nobody's explored that swamp.

So that's what we're going to do, and we'll see what secrets it has.

We have to drain the swamp with pumps.

We've got two pumps. There's 190 horsepower there. Get enough ponies

going, we'll drain this swamp.

Need some more ponies.

Pursuant to our permit, we can't put any of that water in the ocean. So we have

to take all that water, pump it basically uphill and into an area where

it'll filter through the grass.

I'm here to tell you that is not easy.

I hope number two works.

Better work.

Call it coincidence.

Call it the curse.

Everything that can go wrong on Oak Island goes wrong.

The island is a harsh opponent.

So, you know, it's just one of those things about Oak Island. It was just a

very frustrating moment.

Hey!

You take one step forward and two steps back, seems like.

Get this one changed, though. We'll be running again in five minutes, big

brother.

Try again? We're firing it up now.

Ready? Yeah.

Not too bad.

Got 190 horses working for us now, right?

Yep. 190 horses and about 1,800 gallons a minute.

Yep. Cocktail time. Yep.

The next few days are critical.

Once the swamp is drained, the team will have a gigantic task in front of them,

searching through approximately four and a half acres of mud and sludge.

Why the swamp?

Over the years, there have been numerous theories about just what, if anything,

lies buried on Oak Island.

Some believe the money pit.

located approximately 300 feet away from the swamp was just a ruse, a decoy set

to distract people from the real treasure shaft.

One of them is Norwegian writer and documentary filmmaker Peter Amundsen,

who, on learning that Rick and Marty were planning to drain the swamp,

traveled to Oak Island in hopes of sharing his own incredible theory.

All right, guys, this is Peter Amundsen.

Peter. Good to see you again. Good to see you.

Hello, Peter. You're Marty? Marty, yes. In the past decade, Peter Amundsen has

drawn the attention of Rick and Marty Lagina with his claim that there is a

direct connection between the Oak Island mystery and the works of William

Shakespeare.

But could such a far-fetched notion really be true?

I'm, uh...

So thrilled to be here. Thank you so much for letting me have this

opportunity to present my theory. We thank you for coming and we are eager to

hear.

Okay, this may sound a little bit braggish, but I actually claim

to have found the treasure map leading to Oak Island.

And this is found in a most unlikely book.

concealed in codes.

And the book I'm talking about is the great folio with the place of William

Shakespeare.

There is a coded map in Shakespeare, which I found. It takes you up in the

sky and brings you down to Nova Scotia, leading you to Oak Island. And it will

lead you to what I believe is the ultimate point X.

And it also tells you what the treasure is.

Okay. Nothing less. Okay. Well, that's a lot. Yes.

Peter Amundsen, my first impression, he is a guy on a mission. I think he's

passionately believing his own theory.

But as far as the things I think we can get out of Mr. Amundsen, I think any

clue that anybody can bring to us is valuable.

What I really would like to do is to show you some parts of our documentary,

The Hidden Truth.

According to Peter's theory, the first printed collection of William

Shakespeare's works in 1623 was financed and supervised by the author's close

friend, Sir Francis Bacon.

Bacon. was a scientist, explorer, and adventurer, who many believed was also

the leader of the Rosicrucians, a secret group of intellectuals with strong

connections to the Knights Templar.

In his film, Peter is seen presenting his theory to Shakespearean actor and

scholar Robert Crumpton.

He claims to have found numerous clues and codes planted throughout this first

edition of Shakespeare's works.

including strangely capitalized letters, misspelled words, and

even strategically misnumbered pages that eventually

lead to what Peter believes is a celestial treasure map.

In the film, Peter demonstrates to Crumpton that the decoded texts lead

to a series of constellations, and one of these...

Cygnus, or the Swan, was used to represent Shakespeare himself.

I see the inner hemisphere advanced and made a constellation there.

He says, you are a constellation.

The Cygnus. The Cygnus. It's called the Northern Cross.

Using a globe of the Earth and one of the stars, Peter then matches the

location of the Cygnus constellation to a geographic destination.

on Oak Island, specifically the area on the island known as Nolan's Cross.

I brought some props.

Good.

This is Nolan's Cross.

Discovered by area resident and treasure hunter Fred Nolan in 1981, Nolan's Cross

is a perfectly symmetrical cross made of five large cone-shaped boulders.

Buried at the center, Nolan discovered a sixth stone with a human face carved

into it.

Now, I say that this cross is more than one symbol, and I will show you why.

If you add a few more points, like this.

Between these stones, there are certain paths.

The geometry indicates that we are talking about a tree of life.

Based on a reference in the Old Testament, the tree of life was said to

be one of two trees placed by God in the Garden of Eden, the other being the

forbidden tree of knowledge.

As depicted by the ancient Hebrews and early Christians, the tree of life is

comprised of ten points, called sefirot.

with names like Wisdom, Beauty, Victory, Splendor, and Mercy, which collectively

are believed to hold the keys to understanding the universe.

This ancient symbol was adopted by none other than the Knights Templar and, in

later years, by the Rosicrucians and even the Freemasons.

But even more astounding is that Peter believes that not only does Nolan's

Cross when matched with the design for the tree of life form a perfect three

-dimensional treasure map but that he even knows which of the ten points of

the tree is the key to solving the whole oak island mystery guess which stone is

the important one this one my theory indicates that that stone's

name is mercy

And the problem with it is, of course, that it is right into the swamp.

Why do you think that stone's the keystone as opposed to any of the rest

of them? Shakespeare holds the key.

On the last page of The Tempest, he tells the audience to

pierce mercy.

And the word mercy is...

exactly where that stone is if you are crazy enough to put this diagram

onto the page.

Here we have also an instruction on what this may contain.

They say that there is a place on the earth where several items have been

stored away, books and especially one lamp.

What lamp?

The lamp is the menorah.

The menorah? The menorah from the temple looted by Titus in the year 70 AD,

taken to Jerusalem, and it was never seen again.

Many believe that the Knights Templar rescued priceless religious artifacts

from the temple in Jerusalem, including the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail,

and the golden menorah.

of king solomon the ultimate symbol of the hebrew faith i believe the nice

templar when they dug in the temple mount sellers they found the menorah

they brought it to europe to scotland and then the heirs of the knights

templars the masons they needed a new place for it so they went west and found

the spot for a new resting place for the temple treasure you believe that the

menorah from the temple of solomon could be buried on Oak Island. Yes.

I look upon you as owners of a temple. I believe this.

Norwegian writer and filmmaker Peter Amundsen has just presented his

incredible theory to the team at Oak Island.

He believes that the golden menorah of King Solomon's Temple along with other

priceless artifacts, are hidden on the island at the bottom of the swamp.

And that coded clues in the writings of William Shakespeare point the way.

I want to believe everything you just said, but it's difficult.

So what do you want from us?

Try to find in the bottom of that swamp that stone.

Mercy.

Although Rick and Marty are already in the process of draining the southeast

area of the Oak Island swamp, Peter is asking that they shift their focus to a

different area of the swamp, where he believes the treasure is.

It's a simple request, but Rick and Marty have invested millions of dollars

in this enterprise, and letting an outsider change their strategy is not an

easy decision, especially so late in the process.

All right. Well, you know what? We have a lot to digest, and I want to thank you

again for coming. I really appreciate it. Thank you for listening.

Thank you. We have some discussion to undertake.

Thank you. The demonstration that Peter Amundsen did was great theater.

Here's a guy that's saying that something world-class...

is buried on your property and he's got his little cryptic way of showing it you

know you feel like you're in the da vinci code or something okay guys what

do you think do you guys see him as a threat at all i don't big brother

he does have an agenda i mean are we comfortable with that what is the

difference if there is something found in the swamp it's gonna get out

So, like, the difference between whether or not he's here on the island and

whether he's off the island, it's almost nothing.

Rick is trouble.

I can tell you that for sure.

And I think Rick is a little bit wanting to do this his way, and somebody else

coming in challenges that.

What are we getting out of it, I guess, is what I'm saying. What are we getting

out of it?

I mean, to some extent, Rick, I guess the reason I don't mind it is I think he

could add something.

Something to our discovery process?

Yeah.

I find that singularly impossible.

We were going to proceed with his swamp draining prior to his involvement. We

had designs on all areas of the swamp, not just singularly his area of

interest, but our own.

Okay. All in favor?

Aye. Aye.

The swamp has been draining for two full days now, but something is wrong.

The process is taking much longer than expected, and Peter Amundsen's so-called

mercy point is still underwater and inaccessible.

While they wait for the swamp to drain, Marty and his son Alex decide to put

Peter's theory to the test. If the tree of life really is the basis for a kind

of giant 3D treasure map, then they should be able to find additional stone

markers.

Markers that could very well indicate the entrance to long-hidden treasure

vaults. This is the bottom of the cross that Nolan discovered in 1981.

The kingdom. So it will be 282 feet from that stone in the 60

-degree bearing.

All right, well, let's go find kingdom then. Yeah.

All right.

I wish it

was a treasure chest.

You're on your way to it.

60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66.

Yes. Here it is.

That's it?

So this is the foundation. This is the first step in the tree of life. So it

begins here.

Okay. And this aligns perfectly with the rest of the cross. So let's dig. All

right. There are strange things done in the midday sun by the men who toil for

gold.

And the Oak Island trails have their secret tales that would make your blood

run cold.

If Peter Amundsen's calculations are correct, The tenth point in the Tree of

Life, known as Malkuth, or Kingdom, should be located exactly 282 feet

directly south of the base of Nolan's Cross.

But will they really find a stone there?

And if so, what might it reveal?

Wait a second. You know, this is simply the wrong stone. It's too small.

Yeah, yeah.

Sorry.

Wrong.

You know, when a guy is so intense like that, so sure, you get caught up in it,

and then we go and we dig up the wrong rock?

Well, that was, let a lot of air out of the balloon.

We have to look further. It's in this area, but...

Is it this? Is this it here?

Suddenly, Marty's son Alex spots something in the ground just a few feet

away.

Yeah, this is it. Good.

This is it? Yeah.

It's a large stone.

Perhaps there is something to Peter's theory after all. How far do we go this

way? This is the end of it.

Are we going to be able to move this, the three of us?

I don't really see why we shouldn't move it.

The stone Marty, Alex and Peter have found is completely flat on one

side, as if... It had been deliberately cut.

Well, the stone itself is interesting because you'd think there'd be the other

half of it somewhere.

Kingdom stone.

You know, glacial stones often are split perfectly flat because the granites get

fissures in them.

Natural cleavage planes are planes where they're weakest.

You get ice in there and they split.

It is, I guess, somewhat peculiar that the other side of it isn't there, you

know, because it's clearly split cleanly.

what makes today's finding perhaps even more significant is that the six large

boulders that make up what has become known as nolan's cross and which peter

believes form the foundation for the tree of life also each have strangely

flat sides okay well let's wash it up it's granite

yeah so you'll see okay

these white dots Here, here, here. And then, another

startling revelation.

Three carved indentations forming a triangle?

Could this be a sign?

A symbol linking the stone to the Knights Templar and their successors,

the Rosicrucians?

And could the triangle's shape, similar to that of the Oak Island Swamp, be

significant?

But how?

Here's all I'm willing to say.

We're willing to look for that mercy point.

Thank you.

That's all I would like to hear. Is that good enough?

That's good enough. We're going to leave no stone unturned on our quest, because

that's what this is. This is a quest.

This is now being proved.

We're going to check out his mercy point. We're going to check it out as

best we can. And if we find something, then you'll see the excitement level.

Good work. All right. Good work.

Could Nolan's cross, along with the island's other many strange carved

stones, really form the basis for an elaborate treasure map?

One which indicates that the key to solving the Oak Island mystery lies at

the bottom of the swamp?

But if so, the challenge remains.

How to get to it?

And so far, the island does not appear eager, or willing, to cooperate.

Frustrated by the amount of time it's taking to drain the swamp, Rick and

Marty have hired a local helicopter to see if they can get a better idea of

their progress from the air.

You don't want to walk into that rear one, Rick.

You want an haircut?

They also want to see if a bird's eye view can help them spot Peter's so

-called mercy point, the place in the swamp the Norwegian filmmaker claims is

a gateway to an incredible underground treasure vault.

Although they know every inch of the landscape from years of studying maps

and books, seeing it from the air is giving Rick and Marty a vantage point

they've never had before.

It's perfectly triangular.

Perfectly.

From the air, the swamp does indeed look man-made.

The triangle shape also suggests the ancient symbol of a pyramid, a shape

that has strong connections to Freemasonry.

We'll see if I can get a little lower. Probably fresh. Yep.

Although the helicopter ride didn't provide an answer to the question of why

the swamp is taking so long to drain, Rick and Marty Lagina are convinced that

the key to solving the Oak Island mystery may very well be located near

what Peter Amundsen calls the Mercy Point.

Stones arranged in a diamond formation?

And in line with a so-called mercy point?

A coincidence?

Or could they really have been placed here to mark the entrance to the

underground area where the treasure is buried?

If it can only be seen from the air, who or what was it intended for?

Well, I'm energized.

This actually kind of gets you all geeked up about it again.

Unfortunately for Peter Amundsen, his time on Oak Island is almost at an end.

He has just received a call that he must return home to Norway for business

reasons.

And the swamp's failure to drain has robbed him of a first-hand opportunity

to see whether his incredible theory can be proven.

Do you need some help with the plywood?

How do you say yes in Norwegian?

Ja. How do we say ja takk? Yes, please.

Ja takk. Did I say that right?

Ja takk.

Okay, so may I take the other part, the dirty part of it?

Ja takk.

But before he leaves the island, Peter wants to show Rick and Marty the exact

spot where he believes the fourth stone in the Tree of Life, the so-called Mercy

Stone, is located.

Okay, you sink, you're not coming out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry.

Yeah, sure.

Good thing my cat-like reflexes came in handy.

To navigate their way through the half-drained swamp, Rick, Marty, and

Peter lay down a makeshift walkway.

using large plywood boards.

Rick, watch it.

Although the plywood will help keep their feet from sinking down into

centuries of accumulated muck, it will do little to mask the pungent stench of

rotting plant and animal matter.

It is very deep and it's very dangerous.

Careful. I'd like to probe this whole area if I could. Making matters worse is

the now persistent rain.

which seems to be refilling the swamp faster than the pumps can drain it.

It would be great if this rain would stop because, I mean, we're losing

ground in the swamp, right? Or we're gaining water in the swamp.

We just, at considerable time and expense, drained it, and here she's

filling up again.

I did say hollow.

It's some kind of floor with small stones on top of it.

A floor covered with stones?

Could Peter be standing over some incredible man-made structure?

Perhaps the actual treasure vault built centuries ago?

So, Marty, this is something for your expert to check out. Yes. So, I'm not an

expert on swamps, but this whole area is the...

The fillet, if you like. Yeah. I can't pinpoint it exactly because I don't have

the data. Keep trying.

We didn't haul all this plywood out here for nothing.

I think we can't accomplish more than this. We know that it is a stony ground.

And if this is some part of the secret vault, it's impossible for me to say.

But I would be very interested in learning what the experts would make of

this. Petter's theory is rich in terms of detail, in terms of discovery

processes, but it's just one among many.

Until it's proven, it's just one more theory among a myriad number of

theories.

We were very hopeful and we wanted him to succeed.

I mean, why else are we here?

Well, you know, Swiss time is ticking away fast and we have a plane to catch

back to good old Norway. Okay. And again...

Thank you so much for letting me onto your island. You're very welcome. A very

special place.

I hope that I will stay within the information loop because I would be

really interested in knowing what's out there.

I really think they will find the mercy point and what happens from then on, I

can only speculate, but I hope that they will treat it with care and behave

responsibly. We will not stop. We will pursue this to the end.

You know, we have an agenda here as well, and we think that cooperatively

we'll see success.

I will shake your hand to that.

Thank you so much. You're welcome.

Fortunately, Peter's visit was not in vain.

Rick and Marty are now committed to locating the so-called Mercy Point and

finding out once and for all if the treasure of Oak Island is within their

grasp for centuries

oak island has been a riddle wrapped in an enigma for those who have risked

their lives and fortunes trying to find treasure here it is a giant three

-dimensional jigsaw puzzle with numerous clues challenges and dead ends

that all seem to be deliberately planted

But will solving it take skill, persistence, and courage?

Or will it require something more?

Perhaps the island was intentionally and elaborately coded so that only someone

with the right keys can get at the treasure.

Welcome to what we affectionately call our war room. Have a seat. Great.

Someone who will have to spend years looking.

Someone who could very well be in this room.

Well, Dave, Steve, we're very excited you're here.

Impatient with the lack of progress in getting the swamp to drain, Rick and

Marty Lagina have decided to bring in two metal detection experts to join them

in their search.

If there really are objects made of precious metals buried deep beneath the

swamp, they should be able to find them using the latest in high-tech equipment.

We're a little bit taken aback by the size of the swamp, how much work we have

to do, so we're very much looking forward not only to the new technology,

but new ideas, new input, new way to approach this thing, and we'll be able

to make really good progress in the swamp.

We're here at your disposal, and hopefully what we bring to the table

will aid you in your quest.

Great.

Here's what our agenda is.

We'd like to investigate this area.

initially weather's going to play a role access is going to play a role currently

we have one pump on station it's sort of drained but it's not demucked is it is

it walkable can you get out on the that's that's the issue the whole

perimeter is somewhat walkable but uh this position in particular which we're

very interested in is still flooded we want to explore this swamp

That's our mission right now. Yes. And we want to use the highest tech

equipment there is. Yes, yes. What we're looking for is the breadcrumbs that lead

us in a particular direction.

The machine I'm wondering about, there's conjecture that there's a vault of some

sort in the swamp. What machine do you use for that? That's not a metal thing.

Well, actually, we have a pulse ground balance system that we're bringing in

from Germany. We contacted Lorenz, and we asked that they ship a unit called

the DeepMax.

What's it give you, a visual?

Yes, yes, you either have a 2D or a 3D visual.

Made in Germany, the Lorenz DeepMax X6 is a revolutionary metal detecting

device.

It can scan through various types of soils and surfaces, even water.

It can also identify very specific types of metals, including gold and silver, up

to 40 feet deep underground.

Can't wait, honestly.

Throwing all your gizmos out there. Let's do it. All right. As far as I'm

concerned, I'm so excited about being here.

I got a really, really strong belief that there's something on Oak Island.

I also believe that you two are going to find it. Yay.

I like that guy.

Music to my ears. Let's do that. Yes, let's do it. Guys, we are very excited

you're here. We can't wait to get the data. We can't wait to find something.

So let's go do it. Let's do it.

I think that's probably okay.

While Marty helps David Spencer assemble the DeepMax X6.

That's it. That's it.

Rick and Steve Zizulik begin a preliminary scan of the swamp with a

conventional metal detector.

This is the long sought after fabled mercy point position.

Okay. So I just have one question. Will that find something if it's in a

concrete vault?

Depending on how deep it is, if you had concrete here right now and you had gold

or silver or something underneath it, this machine will hear it.

Then let's go. Let's go. Let's go and find it. Okay.

So here's the thing.

What we should do, see that piece of rebar? Yeah. I'd like to get to the

other side of that point.

With what you know, is there like a specific spot?

We have a general area.

And this is it? And this is it.

Okay.

Don't fall in. Yeah, don't fall in.

I'm just wondering how far I'll sink.

Nothing here.

No.

Which way do you want to go, that way or this way? I want to keep going right

around the whole thing.

Anything?

No.

Nothing out there as far as you can reach? No, we might start getting better

hits out here. I don't know how far we can go out right now. We should have got

more planking is what we should have got.

You got something?

No. Come in from that side and try to sweep and see if it registers from that

side. Okay.

You got something?

Yeah. I just want to check it again.

It's funny. I'm actually getting multiple signals.

Really? Yeah.

A signal.

See that? See that?

Yeah. That's a hit.

You've got to be kidding me.

Did Rick and Steve just find something metallic at the bottom of the swamp and

with a simple metal detector?

Something that's significant like gold or silver.

would be up in this quadrant around here.

God, that's where it is.

I know.

That's what you wanted, isn't it? This is what you wanted, right?

That's what I want.

So that's it, buddy.

Let's keep going. Maybe we find something else.

I got a definite signal here, too. Here we go.

Could there really be one or more metal objects lying buried at the bottom of

the swamp?

right where Peter Amundsen claimed they would be?

You got stuff here, buddy. Something there? Yeah. After a preliminary search

of the area of the swamp, now known as the Mercy Point, Rick, Charles, and

metal detection expert Steve Zizulik believe they have made an incredible

discovery.

Listen. All right, I'm going to put my foot on that.

I'm literally going to jump in.

How about your glasses?

Back up.

I'm going to put my foot on that. Okay, now hang on a second.

Okay, that's the edge right there, right? Okay, is there anything here?

Holy... I'm going to put my foot on that.

I have to. It's 50 years for me. I'm jumping in.

Yeah, there's something there.

There's no doubt about that.

There's something flat.

Sounds foolish, but I got so excited, I jumped in the swamp.

I mean, you kind of lose a little bit of rational decision-making. I jumped in.

fried in my iPhone. My sister's going to get extremely mad at me because now I'm

out of contact.

Can I take the detector and put it down where I'm standing?

Seriously, I want to dive in there right freaking now, buddy.

As long as I come up with a menorah between my teeth, I'll be happy.

Is it exciting? Of course it's exciting. We've been on this for going on seven

years now. We have a target. I mean, If you're not excited, then go get your

plane ticket.

See ya.

Oh.

Did you hear that?

Here.

Hear that?

Yeah, I did.

Now we're metal detecting.

Yes! There you go, buddy.

Yes!

Could Rick Lagina really be on the verge of solving the Oak Island mystery?

Has he discovered the secret hiding place of the Knights Templar treasure?

The golden menorah of King Solomon's temple?

The Ark of the Covenant?

Oh, man.

Yuck it up. Keep laughing.

It's the creature from the Black Lagoon.

When I first saw Rick, you know, he was all wet and he was drippy. He was

covered in mud.

But as he got closer, I have to admit, I got kind of excited because I could see

in his face that he was quite convinced he'd found something significant. I

mean, he was, you know, I've known him forever, right? I could tell. He was

just, he was beaming.

Yes, big brother.

I have something.

You do not.

Talk to the man right there. So we went down to this area that everybody was all

excited about, right? Yes. And your brother and I went out kind of like real

close, and I got an incredible hit.

Yeah. Meaning? On our meter, it was a strong enough signal for your brother

and I to jump right in.

And? And when I went down, it got stronger and stronger.

And then when we went in there, our foot went right on a solid object down there.

You know, we're showing on the meter where there's a nice signal, typically

where I find silver and gold. Yeah.

Is where it was hitting.

Rick is absolutely, you know...

convinced that that will uncover some if not if not actual treasure at least some

significant clues but i gotta admit it was a thrill for me too well let's go

get it let's get big max in the swamp this is exciting i mean i don't believe

it okay because i'm not gonna believe it till i see it but still cool look at him

yeah he's very excited all right he's very excited well you know the deal is

it's a 200 year old search and maybe this isn't the big breakthrough but it

surely is going to lead us well down that road. We're very, very, very

hopeful.

After centuries of failed searches, fortune spent, and lives lost, are

Rick and Marty Lagina about to bring this legendary story to its conclusion?

Or could it be, like so many other such moments on the island, another dead end?

Next time on The Curse of Oak Island. This is the most sophisticated equipment

that's ever been on this island.

That's what we're looking for. Wow, this could be it. This could be the find.

Are you getting wrecked? Did you get that, big brother? Whoa. No. Whoa,
