Tonight 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.
What are you getting, Rick? What are you getting, big brother?
No. Serious? What?
Wow, it's a game changer.
Predates the money pit by at least 150 years.
It's the first piece of evidence that I've been able to hold in my hand.
This is the most valuable thing that's ever been found on Oak Island. Yes!
There is a mysterious island in the North Atlantic Where for more than 200
years people have been looking for treasure So far they have found
underground tunnels and shafts bizarre booby traps Even a stone slab
with strange symbols carved into it, but nothing of value
Still they dig deeper
and deeper six men have lost their lives in the search
and according to legend one more will have to
die before the mystery can be solved
Oh, let's go get it. Let's get Big Macs in the swamp. This is exciting. I mean,
I don't believe it, okay? Because I'm not going to believe it until I see it,
but still, cool.
Rick and Marty Lagina may be on the verge of a breakthrough in solving the
mystery of Oak Island.
Let's go. Let's figure this out. Okay. Look at the grin on that guy's face.
Come on. Let's go. It's not very heavy, Rick.
A few minutes ago...
Rick Lagina stumbled onto something that he hopes will finally answer the biggest
question of all.
What lies below?
Holy. After partially draining the Oak Island swamp and using a simple metal
detector, he located what he believes is a large square-edged object lying just a
few feet beneath the water.
All right, let's go get this thing. Come on, let's go.
Located in the middle of the island, the strange triangle-shaped swamp has long
been thought to be man-made.
But why?
I found the treasure map leading to Oak Island.
According to Norwegian researcher Peter Amundsen, the swamp may very well have
been the place where the Knights Templar, or their descendants, buried
priceless religious artifacts rescued from the Great Temple of Jerusalem
during the Crusades.
Shakespeare holds the key. His theory is based on what he believes is an
elaborate series of codes concealed within the first printed folios of
William Shakespeare.
And the codes, in turn, lead to what Amundsen calls the mercy point, which is
right where Rick Lagina believes he has located a mysterious square-edged
object.
Yeah, if you want to start imaging and go out there and do your ground
balancing. Okay, let's do a ground balance.
The level coil, ground balance one.
Earlier, the swamp was scanned using a conventional metal detector.
Detect your data logger, make sure it's on.
Data logger is on.
Now the team has returned and is using a bigger and even more sophisticated metal
detection device called the DeepMax X6.
It can scan to a depth of nearly 40 feet and can identify what type of metal
objects or material.
might lie below if you see this spike up you know you're over something now that
we got the deep max unit out here we can confirm the data and we can see it for
the first time on rick's mark he will say zero zero starts the run you guys
walk at a slow pace steady try to get this coil as far down as you can cheater
on the edge of falling off if you have to will don't step off in that muck
David, I got a belt on. He's got a belt on. Okay, no steel here. How big is the
belt buckle?
Since the DeepMax X6 will pick up any trace of metal... Let's take it off.
Okay. It's imperative the team members don't accidentally compromise the
readings. Give me your belt.
Have a little show here when your pants fall off.
I've never done this before.
While Rick and Marty's nephew David and his friend Will use the DeepMax unit to
scan the swamp...
Rick follows behind wearing a data recorder.
Rick, on your mark. Okay. Zero start. Ready? Yep.
Okay. Go. Good.
I think this is the most sophisticated equipment that's ever been on this
island, these metal detectors I can sense very deep.
It's great.
Left side up, Will.
Keep going. Keep going.
Okay, get as far back. Get the coil as far back as you can. Get right on the
edge of the board.
Hey, David, if you fall off, you know you're far enough.
What are you getting, Rick?
Nothing. I got nothing.
That doesn't sound good.
Holy.
You got to be kidding me. That's it.
Right when you went over that spot.
What did you get, big brother?
Full scale, almost a sheet and a half.
Full scale. That's what we're looking for.
There were so many hits.
I mean, it goes off in your hand and you think, wow, this could be it. This could
be the find.
So you got a spike over that spot? I got a huge spike, yeah. Good.
That's what I want to hear.
It was quite impressive.
It mimicked what Steve found.
You know, I try not to let my expectations rise too much because you
get disappointed.
He got a big hit out there straight away. Yeah, it's exciting, but I'm not
going to let my emotions get carried away until we actually see something.
So it's great.
We've got a lot more work to do.
Is there any way I can contact the spike?
Yeah, after we get back. You've got the data, Rick.
Okay. Let's run it through software, see what we get. Absolutely.
To the war room!
After getting a series of hits, indicating that there may very well be
metal objects somewhere buried in the swamp, Rick, Marty, and the team return
to the war room to analyze the results gathered by the DeepMax X6 data
recorder. You brought everything we need to see, right, Steve?
Yes, sir.
Metal detection expert Steve Zizulik will try to give Rick and Marty an idea
of what they found with the help of a computer model.
All of our data is in.
It's very good that you keep things in perspective.
So I just want to kind of start off by telling everybody what we want to see so
you kind of understand what we're looking for.
Basically, when you're detecting, you're looking for a non-ferrous target.
Ferrous would be iron.
Non-ferrous would be gold, silver.
Yeah, gold and silver are non-ferrous.
Spendable, right, David? Spendable.
After decades of hard work, thousands of hours of planning, and millions of
dollars invested, are Rick, Marty, and their Oak Island partners about to find
out that they found something of great value on Oak Island?
Could this mystery, for which so many lives have been sacrificed, really be
close to getting solved?
So with this type of machine, non-ferrous will come up as orange or
red. So let's take a look at the screen, and I can show you guys what we have.
Yes, let's do that.
I see red. All right, look at my boat. Those are like some mountains of red.
Okay, so let's take a look at the screen, and I can show you guys what we
have. Yes, let's do that.
After using a sophisticated metal detection device to scan the area of the
swamp known as the Mercy Point, Rick, Marty, and the team have gotten together
in the war room to review their findings.
The data's going to display in colors.
all right what color we want dave what we want is we want red it could be gold
could be silver i see red all right look at my boat
those are like some mountains of red yeah we want red okay the data was
exciting i mean the color was everywhere each one of these is a layer
corresponding to depth uh yes sir so as you can see where we are right
here there's a lot of red and orange oh yeah okay so now you look at a cross
section of this look at all the red when you get down towards the blue down here
um it's basically nothing so this is just deeper and these are all layers
right and here we've got more red got a lot of red yeah we like that i see my
boat there marty The handheld responses came from that area, right? How big is
it, David?
It's like about 100 foot.
So is this confirmation of something to dig up? You know, with this data and the
data that we've got from the handheld, in my opinion, it's definitely an area
of interest for you.
I mean, quite frankly, if you're going to hide something somewhere, it's a
great spot to put it.
I think what we need to do, I mean, I think there are...
muck divers, you know, swamp divers, who will go in there and, you know, can
actually go and feel around on the bottom.
Don't be looking at me when you say muck divers.
That is not happening.
Why don't we see, you know, Tony, the dive master that took Alex and I out?
Well, give him a call and see if he's available.
We just need to know it's there.
No problem. What's your saying, Rick? What's your quote? Once in, all in? Once
in, all in. Once in, forever in. He's talking about the swamp.
Once in, forever in.
Let's go.
Why have two centuries of treasure hunters been drawn to Oak Island?
Because logic suggests that if someone went to so much trouble to hide
something, using booby traps and sophisticated underground engineering,
then it must be to protect something of enormous value.
But what?
Knights Templar treasure?
Millions in Spanish gold?
Priceless historical artifacts?
No one knows for sure, although stories persist about a wealthy landowner named
Anthony Graves, who lived on the island 150 years ago.
Although he never actively participated in any of the documented treasure hunts,
he is rumored to have paid for goods on the mainland.
with 17th century Spanish coins.
When asked where he got them, Graves would never say.
Well, there she is, Tony.
Back again.
Oak Island.
To investigate what they believe to be a mysterious structure lying at the bottom
of the swamp, Rick and Marty have brought in Tony Sampson, a local dive
master, a treasure hunter in his own right.
tony has been exploring the waters around oak island for decades but this
time he will face a unique challenge as the water he will be getting into will
offer zero visibility and you've done similar oh god yeah yeah you know used
to recover for the police force yeah we used to dive in the uh in the sewage
ponds trying to find uh yeah like stolen property you know Murder weapons all
that sort of stuff. Yeah. Well this I think is gonna be you're not exactly
that but about as close as you can get I mean, it stinks.
It's just pretty damn nasty Once you're down there It's a slow slow job Marty
because you're moving pretty much hands and knees, you know, put it put it at a
time You've been able to find stuff in you know, let's just call it zero
visibility water before. Yeah, it's I use lighter gloves So pretty much
everything's by brain. So you can feel it. Exactly, yeah. Just close your eyes
and go zen, man. Just start feeling.
Tony is a very competent diver. It's clear when I was talking to him. I know
a little bit about diving, and I know a little bit about technology of diving.
He's a guy I believe we can count on.
What can we do? What can we carry here?
Well, if we just go and have a look first, Marty. Okay, great. And then I
can work. Then you know what gear to get. Yeah, exactly.
Oh, you're going to be delighted to see this. Yeah, wait until you see this.
You're going to be so happy to see this.
This here, just in front of the ply, that's the stuff we can get out with the
metal rinks.
What Tony suggested we do is to remove as much vegetation as possible so he can
actually submerge and get down to the bottom of the swamp and then metal
detect, probe, and actually physically feel what's down there.
Okay, Tony, we're going to take you out to where I got that hit, okay?
So just seriously watch your step.
How am I, Charles?
You're fine.
Yeah. Right here.
Rick, give me some guidance. I think we're close. It's a little bit further.
To your left. Like right here, right? Right there. Right there.
Yeah, so you can almost see where we went in. Yeah.
Right? So there's definitely something hard down there, and I felt it flat.
It could be a flat rock. It could be a box. I don't know.
A box?
Could this be the so-called mystery box that was written about in Bobby
Restall's journals?
The one that he and his father were close to finding?
right before the tragic accident that claimed four lives in 1965?
Okay, let's bring into action, crew.
I'll get a hit here.
Definitely.
Right there.
Move your shovel.
There's something there.
He must be getting hits.
You onto something?
Maybe something small.
See that see that oh This could be something
big serious Whoa
Whoa Whoa
is it a coin? I believe this is a coin. No serious what?
No. A coin found in the Oak Island swamp?
What's that 8 on it? What the hell is that? It is an 8, isn't it?
A strange coin with an 8 on it?
What is it?
I got no idea, man.
Could this be the first of many waiting to be found?
Part of a motherlode?
Were those trapezoid edges at one time, you think? Well, it's copper.
Yeah. You know, I've seen something like this. They're called like Mervadas or
something like this. I've seen something like this before.
Mervadas, that's Spanish. That's Spanish.
Yeah. Really? Yeah, they are. Like 1500s or 1600s or something like that.
For more than 200 years, people have been wondering about just what, if
anything, lies buried on Oak Island.
In addition to theories about the Knights Templar, or their successors,
the Freemasons, having hidden priceless religious artifacts deep within booby
-trapped vaults.
There are those that tell stories of Spanish explorers hiding a portion of
their golden plunder rather than turn it all over to the king.
Could finding a Spanish coin on Oak Island be evidence that this theory is
true?
This is probably the most valuable looking thing that's ever been found on
Oak Island.
To date.
But we've got a long ways to go. Oh, yeah.
For Marty Lagina, finding tangible evidence of something valuable being
buried on Oak Island is critical if he is to continue pumping more time and
money into this project.
It's a great thing to be here with Rick right now. It's like here we are off
again, collecting money from our paper out.
Only this time it's a pirate coin in the swamp.
I'm just ecstatic about that, because I see the happiness in my brother's face,
and that's great.
But even so, the other day, I had serious discussion with Rick about
throwing in the towel.
So I said, geez, Rick, we don't have a lot here.
I need to see irrefutable proof.
Could this be the proof Marty has been looking for?
A small copper coin?
This at least says a lot. We got to figure out what it is. He's always
looking for proof. Show me the proof.
Okay, here's the coin. Here's the proof. Okay, I just have one quick question.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can feel this coming.
Talk to me.
I'm sorry. I doubted you.
How's that? How's that, brother?
That's a good deal. Just one doesn't quite get you all the way there. All
right, let's keep going. Let's go. Get your suit on. Let's go.
After finding the coin, Rick and Marty are even more eager to get Tony into the
swamp so that he can find what else, if anything, is down there.
Tony will be diving in the area of the swamp known as the Mercy Point, the same
area where Norwegian filmmaker and writer Peter Amundsen believes is the
location of an entrance to a large underground treasure vault.
According to Amundsen's theory, the Rosicrucians, or their successors, the
Freemasons, traveled to Oak Island more than 400 years ago.
There, they buried the sacred treasures the Knights Templar had captured during
the Crusades.
Among the precious objects were the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, and the
Golden Menorah of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Could this be why the metal detectors have indicated the presence of non
-ferrous metals like gold and silver at the bottom of the swamp?
is there anything here and could the large flat object that rick lagina
claims he found really be the entrance to an ancient underground treasure vault
ready to dive
tony has
more than four feet of muck and mud to dig through before he can actually touch
the strange object rick believes is down there because he will not be able to see
Tony will have little to rely on other than a small handheld metal detector and
his years of diving experience.
You know what? This is not the fun part of treasure hunting. Watching somebody
else do the work.
Watching him and I thought, you know what? Maybe I just put some duct tape
over my mouth and I just jump in with him. I mean, that's what I wanted to do.
But you can see the man is technically skilled and that he loves what he's
doing.
Yeah, I just got a hit down here.
Yeah. You got a hit?
Right below you?
Actually, it's about three feet in front of me. All right.
A lot of big roots down there, too.
What kind of hit do you have, Tony?
A little confusing.
You know, he seems to be interested in something.
Look.
Yeah, what is that?
What the hell?
Nothing.
God, that stuff is thick.
It's not just muck, it's been vegetation.
You know, it's a swamp.
There's four feet of organic material in there. I know, it's torturing you.
He couldn't do his diving and handle the detector and do his discovery work, so
we had to jump in and help him.
And it was just a simple process of scooping this stuff up and throwing it
out to the side.
You're making me feel bad. Do you want me in there?
Yes. Fine.
Oh, yeah, this is just freaking magnificent.
I decided to jump in myself because I couldn't stand to see my brother up to
his armpits in mud doing all that hard work.
you know it felt bad yeah we're in this together and i wanted to be shoulder
to shoulder with him in the muck
oh boy here we go here we go
oh baby boots in the air that's what we wanted
there's something there there's something there
I heard that.
You hear the beeps? You can hear it. It's really loud.
We could hear audio.
We could hear audibly. Bing, bing, bing.
Oh, yeah.
Everybody's ears pick up. Everybody's standing there quite excited because we
had just found the coin, and now we're thinking maybe we've found what we're
looking for.
This is right where we all jumped in right here, and we got all the major
hits right along this line.
Rick and Marty are hoping they're just moments away from the biggest discovery
in the history of Oak Island.
But they also know that the island has fooled and frustrated treasure hunters
for more than 200 years.
Come up with a handful.
Handful of coins.
They want to be excited. Come on, Tony.
But it's best to be cautious.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
He's coming up.
What? What? What the hell?
Wait, wait.
He's coming up.
What? What? What the hell?
That's a big piece of rock.
This is not rock.
That's a little different. Is that great?
I have no idea what to make of it.
Although Tony hasn't found evidence of the gold or silver objects that set off
the metal detector, he is finding a number of strange flat stones.
Why might this be significant?
When the original money pit was excavated in 1795, a number of flat
stones were found, along with oak planks.
every 10 feet.
At 90 feet, a large flat stone was discovered that had a series of strange
markings, like hieroglyphs carved into it.
According to reports, this stone had an unusual olive color.
And the stones Tony is discovering seem to match that description.
That's not granite. That's not granite.
It's almost a sandstone. I didn't think it was gold concrete.
The Romans made concrete.
It's weird.
It's weird.
I'm so tired of, that's weird.
Huh. So many things have that name put to them. That's weird has been probably
the most common phrase here this summer.
Okay, so far I'd take several of those pieces of eight instead of this rock.
You got to save that.
Tony came up with a couple rocks that we're going to have analyzed.
that were odd, but not what we wanted. We wanted metal. We wanted a box. We
wanted coins.
We wanted something definitive.
Well, let's see.
Tell us.
It was weird because initially I got a hit there two-thirds of the way down,
sort of feeling across everything as I was going. And I thought, what the hell
is it?
And I did a test on my ring.
Yeah, and it's the same sort of sound, obviously, gold.
And I was going through, like, inch by inch. Obviously, if there was a coin or
something there, I would have found it.
But it was the same thing. I was getting it and then gone.
Wait.
Gone? Then you wouldn't get it there anymore? Exactly. Just gone.
How is it possible that the strong signals that the team was getting from
the metal detectors, indicating the presence of objects made of gold or
silver, have now suddenly...
disappeared are you going to take a break then or you have one more in you
or oh yeah i can go all day but the readings the team got earlier have been
the result of a technical malfunction a glitch or could there be another reason
tony can you see if you can duplicate those hits you got earlier it has long
been reported that electrical devices inexplicably break down while being used
on oak island especially in the area of the swamp
The one thing that's the strangest thing here is that we've had hits on all three
detectors by three different people that have gone off in space.
I've never seen that before, ever.
If I had an explanation for you, I'd give it to you.
Is Oak Island up to its old tricks,
baiting its victims, giving them a glimpse of success only to snatch it
away? The good news is we had a good day. We had a fantastic day.
And although finding the coin may turn out to be significant, is that all there
is? Okay.
I don't think we found anything.
Come aboard, Tony.
Well?
Bloody way, man.
32 years and I've never seen anything like this place.
Really? Yeah.
It's crazy.
You get a hit, it goes away, and you come up with nothing.
How's that pass?
I've got no idea, man. Oak Island.
Discovering what he believes to be a Spanish coin has convinced Rick Lagina
that he and his brother are on the right path to solving the Oak Island mystery.
But Marty remains doubtful.
I'm the skeptic. I'm not as sure as him. I've never been as sure as him. I've got
to think about it a little bit. I don't get hits and no hits, Steve.
Deep max, you know, we turned that metal detector on. We were getting hits all
over the place.
Right? I don't know. I really, I've never seen anything like it either.
Ghost targets that just keep on going everywhere. That's the only way you can
explain it is ghost targets.
I don't know what to make of it.
I don't think there's anything here.
The diver had gone down, couldn't verify the deep max data.
There's something inconsistent about that data.
Let's move on.
So I wanted to see if we can figure out what's really going on.
For Rick and Marty Lagina, scouring the area of the Oak Island Swamp, known as
the Mercy Point, has been both a strange and frustrating experience.
On two separate occasions, and using the latest in sophisticated metal detection
equipment. Keep going, keep going.
They received evidence that there was something large and metallic lying
beneath the murky water. Non-ferrous will come up as red. Those are like some
mountains of red.
But now the readings have stopped, and the evidence they were convinced they'd
found has strangely disappeared.
And nothing here.
Still,
they may have in their possession the possible evidence that the legends about
Oak Island are true.
Something. that could prove that all of their hard work has not been in vain.
Before heading home to clean up, Marty, Rick, and the team head over to Dan
Blankenship's house.
Dan has devoted most of his life to looking for treasure on the island, and
they are eager to show him their latest find.
Good morning.
Hey, Daniel.
How you doing?
Rick?
Looks like you guys went swimming today.
Swimming in mud.
You got the evidence to prove it. Yeah, we do. I don't want to get too close to
him.
Back off here.
Over the years, Dan Blankenship has found many strange objects, like early
18th century Spanish scissors, a rock with a Masonic symbol carved into it.
and the remains of man-made structures at Smith's Cove.
And while he was digging the 235-foot deep treasure shaft known as 10X, he
claims he saw underground tunnels, ancient tools,
treasure chests, and even a dead body.
No, we just brought something we want to show you. Okay.
Want to sit on?
Looks like I'm going to have to.
When Rick handed that coin to Dan, I knew it was a big deal for Rick, and I
knew it was a big deal for Dan.
It meant something. Yeah, it meant something. You know, he's got something
to hold in his hand to justify 48 years of work. I mean, it's not a treasure,
but it's a treasure in what it means.
What do you think?
That's Spanish.
I know.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Today, after nearly a half century of searching, Dan Blankenship is holding
the first solid evidence that there may have been people on Oak Island prior to
1795, and that those people really might have buried treasure here.
It confirms a lot of things, Marty, you know? It definitely does confirm my
suspicions that the Spanish did it. I've always said the Spanish did it.
presumably somewhere between 1500 and 1550.
You know? And that's the first thing I've held in my hands since I've been
here almost 48 years. That's why we came right here.
That's the first thing I have, the real evidence, you know.
I told you we were going to solve this.
That's just the start of it.
Up until now, Myself, especially, you've been operating on faith. Yeah.
And you got to give us credit for persevering, though. Oh, yeah.
Believing in something.
You believed. I know you did.
And the same token, David's never held anything in his hands either.
Dan takes the coin, hands it to David.
It's almost like the passing of the torch.
It was a great moment.
But now we got to find something more than that.
We're on it. I want something this thick, this wide, about this long, about
40 pounds, gold color.
We needed a luck change.
Amen.
Let's hope.
I know you spent a small fortune up to date. I know that.
I hope and pray that this doesn't make you spend another fortune before you
see something that is in a container, you know.
Amen. Yeah.
All right, well, it's almost time to have a drink. I would love to join you.
Good to see you, Dan. Yeah.
Congratulations. Give me that too, Dan, again.
Partner.
It's been an exciting day for Rick, Marty, and their team.
Although they didn't find a long-lost treasure vault, they did discover what
may very well be an important piece of evidence, possibly a clue that might
help them solve the Oak Island mystery.
But after extensive scientific examination, will the strange copper
object found in the swamp prove to be an authentic 17th century Spanish treasure
coin?
Or will Marty Lagina be forced to tell his brother that this summer on Oak
Island will have to be their last?
The discovery of what appears to be a 17th century Spanish treasure coin makes
this an important day for the team on Oak Island.
But could finding one small coin really be the proof Marty Lagina needs to
continue to support his brother's dream?
Gentlemen. You happy, happy?
You know, I'm having trouble believing it. I mean, do you feel that, sort of?
Definitely. Definitely. Is it enough to convince him that all the hard work and
all the money spent have not been in vain?
Alex.
Hey, guys. How you doing? Hey, Alex. Good. Good.
Big news, right? Big news, yes.
The big news of the day is the coin. Charles, you're going to tell us all
about it, right? Yeah, I've done some research, and I think you're going to be
surprised.
Pleasantly surprised or greatly surprised?
Okay, it's a Spanish meravigee.
Okay. At 8 Cobb, probably from the 1600s.
And unfortunately, the date is obscured.
on the back, but possibly predates the money pit by at least 150 years.
Yeah, that's wildly significant.
The marifide 8-cop was a common form of currency used by the Spanish after the
discovery of the New World by Columbus in 1492.
Because of its tendency to be sought after by pirates, it has also been
referred to as a treasure coin.
Could its presence on Oak Island suggest that the stories about Spanish ships
stashing their plunder on the island are true?
Or could it be that Spanish explorers, or possibly pirates, on hearing stories
about an incredible treasure being buried on Oak Island years before by the
Knights Templar or the Rosicrucians, came to the island in the 1600s?
Perhaps they dug the money pit in an effort to find that treasure.
But later...
Went away empty-handed.
Here's the funny thing about it. There it is right there. It's real.
And I still am having trouble getting my head around it.
So where are we going, Rick?
There's only one question to ask.
Do we want to go forward?
I say we need to take a vote.
Let's have a show of hands.
I am. Yes,
sir.
If I had to vote?
Both hands go up with you.
Both hands.
Alex? I think there's still questions that we can answer, so I'm going to say
yes. Thank you, Alex.
Where do you stand, boss?
Yeah, I didn't see your hand, Marty.
Well, you know, I was sort of playing this in my mind. I say, well, there's a
group of these guys, and they go out.
They spend a bunch of money and they bust their ass up to their necks in
swamp. And then at the end of their summer quest, they find a pirate coin.
And then they quit.
So I guess... All right, so we're all in.
All my life I've tried to convince my brother that Oak Island is for real. If
I've done that, then I truly am the richest man in the world.
You know, I realize this is just one coin, but it's always been a step-by
-step process.
And this will lead us to where we want to go.
We're on a journey, the fellowship of the dig, if you will.
And we are going to follow wherever this leads us.
I think he's, how shall I say it?
He's... Now invested, I won't say obsessed, but he's now invested in this
discovery. God, I hope I'm not obsessed.
Let's see where it leads us.
For more than 200 years,
men had been searching for something of great value on Oak Island.
They have found bits of paper, coconut fiber, even scraps of metal but little
proof that any of the stories about spanish pirates or knights templar
visiting the island were true not until now
been a good day how cold is this water there
there you go for the first time in the history
of oak island An object has been found that seems to validate all of the
centuries of digging and all the lost dreams of those who sacrificed their
lives.
We hadn't come up with that coin.
I was going to ask you to call it quits.
I'm not sure what the answer is.
But as far as Rick and Marty Lagina are concerned, their search has only just
begun. But here's the thing.
I'm still in.
Let's go. One and all in. One, two, forever in.
It's a good day, Rick.
Not just a good day. It's a great day. One for us.
But where do they go next?
Back to the swamp?
To Smith's Cove?
Or 10X?
Perhaps the answers still lie.
deep down at the bottom of the money pit answers that wait patiently
silently defying those who seek them and waiting for
the next opportunity for the curse of oak island to strike again
