Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.
Deal with Nolan.
How does that strike you? With mixed emotions.
It's time to quit the fighting. I don't want to be an obstacle anymore.
Welcome to the team.
We're ready to put it in the ground, Fred. We're right on your spot.
What does that look like to you?
It's definitely man-made.
If there's a cavity in this slate, that would be the most important discovery on
Oak Island.
What's that right there?
That's definitely meth.
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 bits of gold chain, a stone slab with strange symbols
carved into it, even a 17th century Spanish coin.
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.
On the mainland, a short distance from the causeway that leads to Oak Island,
An important meeting is about to take place between Rick and Marty Lagina and
a man who has so far been shy to aid them in their search for treasure.
Good morning. How are you? Fred Nolan.
How are you? Good.
Good. Come on in.
Okay. Got everybody lined up here.
Everybody's here?
Yep. Okay.
I got you the best seat in the house. Oh, well, there you go. I can't
complain. for the laginas and their partners the meeting offers the
possibility of both an end and a beginning an end to a decades-old feud
with their oak island partner and fellow treasure hunter dan blankenship and the
beginning of a new era of cooperation and collaboration one which they hope
will lead to solving a 220 year old mystery Well, I just want to say, Fred,
thanks for, you know, coming on board.
We're eager to work with you because we know you have some sights.
Over the years, and you're talking many years, 40, almost 50 years, where two
competing individuals, and that was a competition in my mind's eye, and I'm
not saying I'm correct in that analysis, but they were competing to solve the Oak
Island mystery.
A land surveyor by trade.
Fred Nolan first visited Oak Island in 1958 after reading a book entitled The
Oak Island Mystery by Reginald Harris.
In 1961, landowner M. R. Chappell invited Nolan to come and survey the
140-acre island.
While conducting his work, he became convinced that the stories of buried
treasure were true, especially after observing and measuring several
mysterious stone carvings and other markers that seemed to be hundreds of
years old.
After buying land on the island in 1963,
Fred spent the next several years actively engaged in the treasure hunt.
He even cooperated with rival treasure hunters Dan Blankenship and David
Tobias. That is, until further disputes over land caused the relationship to
deteriorate into a series of bitter feuds and near-violent confrontations.
I had learned over the years of a very rancorous and fractious
relationship between Mr. Blankenship and Mr. Nolan. And so my desire was, and I
think it was our desire, to heal the island, to try to get a working
relationship between ourselves, because Dan is our partner.
and Mr. Nolan.
So it's time to quit the fighting and cooperate, right?
Well, it hasn't accomplished much in fighting.
Yeah, I don't want to be an obstacle anymore.
You know, I'm too old for that now.
Just a few days earlier, Rick, Marty, and Craig Tester met with Dan
Blankenship and his son Dave in order to get Dan's blessing on a deal to work
with Fred.
So, a deal with Nolan, how does that strike you? With mixed emotions, to be
quite honest with you, because after all, I've had dealings with Nolan in the
past, and the fact that you're even able to get him to sign something is very
impressive, to say the least.
We're really happy about this because it allows us to explore the whole island
now.
The main thing on Oak Island, as far as I'm concerned, is making a breakthrough.
Right. Right.
You've got several sites you want to drill, right? We're going to drill them
together. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
And you documented it all. You got it all on a map? Yeah, we got it on a map.
Super.
We surveyed the whole island. Right.
And we gridded it off back and forth. Right.
So anything that was around, we picked up pretty well.
Look, I've known Fred for eight years, and I have asked him pointedly many
times, Fred, what's your theory? And he's always either politely or
indelicately refused.
When the American Revolution started, the British generals down there, they
had all this treasure down in Boston, and they said, well, we're not going to
leave this treasure here.
So they sail it all off to...
to halifax they knew it was safe there because halifax was strongly british it
was the 14th colony yeah yeah in the late 1700s as
political unrest was beginning to take place in the american colonies king
george iii ordered his military generals to gather up as much gold silver and
jewels as they could and send them back to england
After loading four ships, the British military sailed to Halifax in Nova
Scotia and were ordered to keep the treasure under guard for the winter.
But according to Fred Nolan's theory, a large portion of the precious cargo
never made it back to the king.
A small group of officers conspired to hide it on nearby Oak Island and keep it
both as compensation and an insurance policy, especially if... the colonists
succeeded in gaining their independence, and the ousted military might be forced
to fend for themselves.
So where did it go? Nobody knows.
Is the treasure still there on the island?
Sure.
It's still there.
But sometimes you wonder if the place is full of treasure.
Good, let's find it.
Yeah. I think it's great that we're working together. I really do. I mean,
this is too big a puzzle.
Yeah. Yeah.
An entirely different Fred Nolan walked in that door.
I think it finally makes sense to him to look forward rather than backwards, and
that was extremely refreshing.
Welcome to the team.
Well, I don't know. I've never been welcomed here before. It's true, Fred.
All right, well, let's quit talking. Let's go out in the field and start
doing something.
Yeah. Perfect.
Fred, first of all, I just want to say thanks for coming to the war room. This
is where all the magic happens.
Craig is here by high tech.
High tech, yep, yep, okay.
You know, we're very grateful that you brought your map and we'd love to get an
understanding at least of where we're going to go from here and the whys of
it. Sure.
With his brother Marty away on business.
Rick Lagina has invited island resident and veteran treasure hunter Fred Nolan
to join him and several members of the team for an important meeting.
Because now that they've agreed to work together, Fred has finally offered to
share many of his maps and artifacts, along with much of his most closely
guarded information.
It's Fred Nolan, a man who spent 50 years of his life pursuing this, sharing
with us his 50 years of discovery.
That's amazing.
How many years' work does this map represent?
40, 50 years.
Wow.
Fred has data that we do not have, and we cannot recreate.
Fred was here in, I don't know, the earliest dates, but surely by 58 he was
here. And he brought a skill set unlike anyone else in the 220-year search.
Fred Nolan first began actively trying to solve the Oak Island mystery.
back in 1961.
But unlike many of the treasure hunters before him, Fred believed the way to
solve the mystery was to examine the numerous strange clues and carvings that
could be found on the surface, rather than focusing only on the money pit.
He surveyed the entire island and made detailed maps, such as this one that
marked the location of dozens of mysterious stone markers.
There are a lot of marks, like these ones here.
They're boulders.
I think we know what they mean, but we're not sure.
Because here's the big point here.
If there's anything down there, there's got to be something here.
This point is one of the places where we intend to drill, right?
Yeah, that's a hot spot.
Okay. You know, I've been at it for so long now, that if I didn't relate this
kind of stuff, who would put it together again?
Exactly. We're very grateful for your work. I mean, it's an incredible
commitment of time, energy, resources, money.
You're staring at it right here. It's immaculate.
And this is only one of what? One of four?
One of four.
Yeah. But you're convinced that this point is where we should look next. Yep.
Then let's head off, get a good night's sleep, and get back at it tomorrow. What
do you say?
I got to ask my wife.
Shortly
after
Marty's return, the Oak Island team arrives at an area on Fred's property
located near the center of the island.
Sir. Here comes a rig.
You want him to back down or forward?
Today, this is all about Mr. Nolan. You know, the fact that we have been able to
engage in a working relationship.
It kind of is momentous, but we're about to actually engage in a discovery
process. I think we're all amped up.
Figure you ought to back in.
So go ahead and pull forward and back in.
While drilling in this area several years ago, Fred Nolan believed he had
found an underground cave or cavern some 10 feet beneath the surface.
It had always been the 87-year-old treasure hunter's wish to revisit the
area with a more powerful drill rig and try to replicate his findings.
Okay, this is it, huh? Yeah.
Now, with the help of the Laginas and their partners, Fred's wish... has come
true.
That's quite a ways up there.
We could probably get set up as far as this hole goes.
The trees will be another scenario.
Although the area around the marked drill site is clear on the ground, the
canopy of trees overhead poses a real obstacle for the drill rig.
A number of branches will need to be cleared.
We'll bring the excavator down here and knock those off.
You know, that was just an easy way to do it, to knock those branches off with
the excavator.
If I'd have taken off in that direction, I would have gotten hit. You shouldn't
have been there to start with. And I should have known where the boom was and
not hit it.
It was a double mistake.
All's well that ends well. Yeah, fine. Exactly.
It's 20 to 2. Let's go. Time's a-wasting.
Now that the drilling rig has the room it needs to set up, the operation can
finally begin.
That's right there, right? That's it.
Your Honor.
But will the team really find evidence of a man-made chamber or treasure tunnel
lying deep underground?
Sounds factory?
It's standard right now, yeah.
What we've heard about this spot is that it's in slate, and I don't know of any
way a cavity can develop in slate naturally.
So, if we do hit such a thing... The odds of being man-made are very high, in
my opinion, and that would be very exciting.
Perfect. Couldn't get any closer.
One of the many interesting geological characteristics of Oak Island is the
fact that each of its two halves are composed of two very different kinds of
bedrock.
The eastern side, where the Money Pit and 10X are located, is composed of
anhydrite limestone, a hard, calcium-based substance.
that is usually formed over a long period of time by the evaporation of
salt water the western side however is made up of finely layered but highly
compacted slate a low-grade metamorphic rock that is created over time when clay
or volcanic ash is subjected to enormous pressure unlike anhydrite which can
crumble and separate if exposed to groundwater slate is more highly layered
and compacted if the team drills through slate and into a void it could mean they
have located a man-made tunnel or chamber okay let's go jordan
don't quote me on the verbiage but this is a very
important site fred said i've been sitting on this far too long i want to
get this done and here he is
How are you doing? Good, good.
We're just about ready to put it in the ground, Fred. We're right on your spot.
Okay. The bedrock should be right down to about 12, 13 feet. Okay.
That'll be interesting.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
It's cooking up right now.
Hopefully. Here we go.
Rick, Marty, and the Oak Island team have just begun their first joint
drilling operation with Fred Nolan, the man who, like his rival, Dan
Blankenship, has spent the past five decades and much of his fortune trying
to solve the Oak Island mystery.
When they were drilling long ago and they upset the rig, did the bar drop?
What happened? Yeah.
According to Fred's detailed records, the drill bit should hit a mysterious
void after reaching a depth of approximately 10 feet.
If there's a cavity in this slate, that would be the most important discovery on
Oak Island to date.
How deep is this?
That's 17, that's 15 feet from there, so... 10 feet then?
10 feet, yeah.
Sure you're in this slate.
You can't imagine how many hours I've spent hoping
that a drill string will drop rapidly.
Watching the top drive come down to Derek, you know, hoping it'll start
going like that. And that would be as it enters a cavity.
metal could the drill bit have found something related to the underground
chamber fred nolan believes he found on this site years ago in
1897 after finding what he believed to be a seven foot tall wooden vault Buried
at a depth of 153 feet inside the money pit, drill operator William Chappell hit
an impenetrable iron obstruction at 171 feet.
Both Chappell and his employer Frederick Blair believed that the iron plate could
likely have been placed there to protect the original treasure vault.
Although several efforts were made to excavate the area and reach both the
wooden vault and the mysterious iron object repeated flooding posed an
insurmountable problem and after two more years of trying the entire
operation was abandoned in 1899.
what happened about 10 feet or so they he thinks he might have hidden metal so
we're gonna run the camera down see if you can see what's blocking the way
in an attempt to determine what the drill bit has struck Jordan Rogers is
putting a small, high-definition camera down the hole, which the team can
monitor from the surface.
Come on, share.
Share and share lights.
Set. Metal?
Sure looks like it looks like it.
I can't tell.
Can you go down a little further when it comes down on that side?
That's definitely metal.
The first hole we drilled with Fred, Jordan got his rig down, and at about 11
feet, he was drilling on metal. Okay, so that became promising.
How deep are you?
That's at about 10 to 12 feet.
Do you think you could pound pipe past it? Probably.
Let's do that.
Jordan will now attempt to avoid the metal obstruction by drilling further
into the slate bedrock.
We should have hit it.
Well, Rick, that's 30 feet right there. We did not find a cavity here.
We had Jordan run some casing, and we think we got by this metal.
And then we drilled down to 30 feet, and we did not hit any cavity. So that was
disappointing.
After drilling to a depth far beyond where Fred Nolan believes, he found a
cavity lying underneath a slate layer.
Rick, Marty, and the team.
decide to change their entire method you're going to dig that marty the
excavator yeah i mean i'd be fine i could do it yet today is it worth
digging well we might as well put this to bed for sure put it for sure yeah i
agree craig and we're only looking 12 feet yeah i can dig that pretty quick
i'd say this is where
i want to be just about right so go ahead and start sure
Clear. If I overswing, I'll kill you.
Thought you were a surgeon.
I was sure that excavator would have no trouble getting down to 11, 12, 13 feet.
And initially it didn't. I mean, it's a very powerful machine.
We'll find that deal, please.
So far, Marty has been unable to find either a slate-covered cavern or the
mysterious metal object that stopped their drill.
That's rock, baby.
Frustrated, he now begins to dig on the other side of Jordan's drill casing.
If the pipe went off that way, shouldn't I be looking over here?
OK.
We're deep, and I don't see nothing. Yeah.
I don't see nothing.
No.
Looks like you're just scraping slate on that side now, too, so.
Oh, so we didn't find the metal. No.
How deep is it?
I'd say probably about 10, 12 feet.
Well, it should be there.
So first hole, we went in to see if we could find this offending piece of
metal, and we didn't find it.
So we don't know what that's all about.
What's that right there?
What does that look like to you?
What does that look like to you?
You want to walk on down there? Yeah.
While excavating a site on Fred Nolan's property near the middle of Oak Island,
the team has just found what could very well be an important clue.
It was obviously not a piece of shale, not a piece of bedrock, not a stone.
Can you bring it out?
Yeah.
I don't know if that means anything.
Yeah, I don't know either.
Pointed.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's definitely pointed.
Let's look at it.
Come on, Craig, take a look at this.
Very strange.
Wood, Rick.
Look how that is cut.
I mean, look how nice and shaped it is.
That's definitely man-made.
A sharpened piece of wood?
Buried approximately 10 feet underground?
It's very apparent that it was an unusual item.
And then I saw where it had been carved into a point.
And it was apparent that, you know, at that depth, it shouldn't be there.
It looks pretty well preserved.
What if it marked something originally and was cut off?
It's all we got.
It's all we got.
All right, Cable, let's call it a night. I agree.
Although the team's first operation with Fred Nolan may not have ended with a
major breakthrough, finding the piece of carved wood is a promising sign that
their new cooperative agreement with him could soon lead to more and even greater
discoveries.
All right, Rick, let's get our prize.
Today's prize.
Okay. You got it?
Hey. Hi.
What do you say, Marty?
Worker. Hey, Dan.
How you doing?
Good to see you. Hi, Craig.
We have a present for you.
Isn't that interesting?
Found that about six feet down in the hole we just drilled. I'll be darned.
What we did over at Nolan's was we drilled first.
We hit some metal. You found this and the metal in the same hole?
Yes. Yes.
Well, when we dug with the excavator, we could never find the metal again.
That's okay.
That's all I can tell you.
What do you think? It doesn't look like it's cut with an ax, does it? No. I see
saw marks in it.
You think that means it's real recent?
Not necessarily. They used saws for a long time. Yeah, that's what I thought.
I mean, all the wooden ships that they built, they had to be hand-sawn. Yeah.
What's the chances of having something like that there, obviously shaped to be
in the ground, and buried four or five or six feet underground? Yeah, I don't
get that.
A wooden post cut in such a way as to be driven like a stake into the ground?
Could it have been some sort of marker?
put there centuries ago by the same people who placed nine layers of
similarly cut wooden posts in the original money pit?
We don't want to find something without telling you.
I appreciate that. All right, we'll let you get back to weed whacking. Okay.
Oak Island did its usual tease you a little bit, make you come back, kind of
like getting a really nice golf shot, you know, when you're a hacker. It makes
you come back, and Oak Island is good at that.
Here's your exercise for the day.
Thank you. I really appreciate that
After
a week of new investigations and possible
breakthroughs Rick Lagina is bringing a special guest to Oak Island Someone
who has not been there in more than 50 years
I have so many questions that are going to come not in chronological order. I'll
have to take it as it is.
David MacDonald is the author of the January 1965 Reader's Digest article,
Oak Island's Mysterious Money Pit.
The same article that not only fueled the childhood imaginations of Rick and
Marty Lagina, but also inspired a 42-year-old contractor from Florida
named Dan Blankenship.
The way your article presented the story was like a puzzle.
It wasn't so much a treasure hunt as a puzzle.
I would hope that what moved you would have been the general content of it.
Yes. What does it add up to?
Exactly. It still adds up to a mystery because of the things you don't know.
Yes.
You mentioned that your father had gotten you interested in the story long
ago? Well...
By the time I was five or six years old, everybody, you know, that age, hears
about Oak Island, have always known that there was a place where they kept
digging for money.
Somebody's going to find it. Yes.
Born and raised in nearby Halifax, David MacDonald was a freelance writer when in
1964, he was hired to do a piece on the search for treasure on Oak Island.
After spending several days talking with treasure hunter Robert Restall and his
family, he came away convinced that many of the various stories concerning the
fabled treasure hunt were true, and that the Restalls were within weeks of
actually solving the mystery.
Here we are.
Everyone is actually gathered in what we call the war room.
You've had quite an impact on this place.
Oh, my.
That article captivated the modern community of Oak Island enthusiasts.
They all rallied from that story. That article changed Oak Island history.
Here we go.
Gentlemen.
Here we go.
Gentlemen, I have a special guest indeed. This is David McDonald.
You're the one that caused all this trouble.
Well. Why don't you have a seat right there?
Thank you.
After 50 years, author David McDonald, the man who wrote the influential
article about Oak Island in the Reader's Digest, has returned to share his
memories with Rick, Marty, and the team.
Oh, I brought my stuff.
All right.
Well, welcome to Oak Island.
Thank you very much.
Well, there it is. There it is. Wow, what a bone. That's the one.
I remember like yesterday reading this, and I was fascinated.
As young boys growing up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Rick and Marty Lagina
loved to read stories of mystery and adventure, even though David MacDonald's
article ran for only five pages.
The combination of the story, coupled with vivid graphics showing a mysterious
money pit, became indelibly etched in Rick Lagina's imagination.
What's a bigger mystery than Oak Island? 220 years of search, incredible
possibilities in terms of the solution, mystery, wonderment, questioning.
I mean, that's what grabbed me when I read that article.
And here was the guy who actually wrote the Reader's Digest article, the one
that so enamored him when he was a young man and dragged his younger brother
along, meaning me.
Are you saying I had to force feed you that? Yes, that's what I'm saying.
It's your fault.
Suppose that article had never been written.
It wouldn't be here.
It's on a Saturday morning. I read the article and...
I handed it back to my wife, and I said, read this. In so many words, she said,
so what, you know?
And I said, number one, I said, there's treasure on Oak Island.
Number two, I said, I'm going to be instrumental in getting it.
Beginning of story, but not the end.
No, the end's not written yet.
Yeah. So what led you to write that story? I've always wondered that. Had
you been writing?
for the Reader's Digest? I had done a couple of pieces for them, and they
wanted me to do a piece on Oak Island, so I researched Oak Island.
I do know that you met the Restalls, and they're the first ones I met.
Oh yes, I met the Rexalls.
What were your impressions of the Restalls?
Well, I think he was very careful about what he said, I think.
And I understand that. You're digging for a treasure, and somebody's asking
you questions you probably want to. Be careful, though.
When David McDonald visited Oak Island in 1964,
Robert Restall and his family had been trying to solve the mystery for nearly
five years.
Living in harsh conditions, the Restalls worked tirelessly.
mostly focusing their work on Smith's Cove, where they found additional
evidence of the five box drains that were first discovered in 1849.
Robert and his son, Bobby Jr., believed they were very close to discovering
something, not only of great monetary value, but also of extraordinary
historical significance.
But on August 17, 1965,
Just eight months following the publication of David McDonald's article,
Robert Rustall, his son, and two members of their team died after being exposed
to deadly H2S gas in one of Oak Island's many mine shafts.
We've played a small role in this, but the people who have committed their
lives, passions, energies, monies,
the restaurants who paid the ultimate price.
I think they've not gotten their due.
Well, David, you didn't change the history of the world, probably, but you
certainly changed the history of Oak Island. Yeah. There's no question about
that. Things would be a lot different had this not been written.
I guess, yes.
Well, you're directly responsible for these two characters being here, for
sure, at the minimum.
Yeah.
And I want to say thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm not going to shake his hand.
We're thinking over here, Marty.
On this side.
Right about here.
We're here because this is a historic place. It's a storied place. And we're
here to not only respect the past, but to respect the future. And to that
extent, we're going to put a time capsule in the ground at the
Bicentennial Memorial.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the Reader's Digest article that changed
their lives.
as well as the 220th year of the Oak Island treasure hunt, Rick and Marty
Lagina, along with their partners, have decided to gather near the causeway at
the island's entrance.
This is what David's made.
But I think, first of all, we all owe, in my opinion, a collective thank you to
David for writing that article because he's the reason why we are all here. I
think we should.
Then let's thank Daniel for paving the way. Yes, I agree. Yes
You know, it's appealing leaving a signature if you will
for someone else to read 50 years from now It's it's appealing Using a piece of
drill casing that Dave Blankenship has fabricated into a time capsule Each
member of the Oak Island team makes a contribution.
They hope a future generation might find
Well, I'm always waiting for crown time, so I'm giving somebody some crown.
God, that hurts.
Okay, here's mine. This says, from Martin G. Lagina to the future, I have
made several predictions about what the world will look like, and I'm asking
whoever finds it to send this to my kids, and I've enclosed $10 Canadian for
postage and handling.
I will insert it.
Well, this is a copy of the digest with the article in it. My goodness.
And it's the American cup, but it's still got a few true words.
Yep. Okay, I guess now it's my turn, but I'm going to kind of, I thought about it
for a long time, and I'm going to kind of break tradition because I kind of
wrote a little letter.
It's to the people that will open this, and it's to all of us.
It says, Dear Oak Island Searchers, we have met so many gracious and wonderful
people. It is impossible to acknowledge and thank everyone, though I would try.
I especially wish to say to my brother and friend that I,
and I do not use the term lightly, I treasure this time we have spent
together.
To Dan Blankenship, I feel...
I feel I've known you my whole life and thank you for allowing me into your
special world.
To David Blankenship, I can say many things, not all good.
However, it is most important to me that I call you my friend and hope you
consider me yours.
I conclude by wishing you and yours, meaning the people who opened this, the
best of luck and good wishes as the OI story continues to evolve.
Take care of one another as that is the real treasure in life. Ciao.
Let me sign my name. Yay!
Beautiful.
Well said. Well said. You know we'll always be friends.
But I want to thank everybody.
Oh, come on.
If we don't succeed and somebody looks at those items 50 years from now, I
would hope they realize...
that there is an emotional component to this this isn't just a treasure hunt
it's not just about recovering wealth there's an emotional component to this
and i would hope that by looking at those items they would connect in that
way now that everyone has placed an item into the time capsule dave blankenship
welds it closed keeping it airtight for what could be its next several decades
underground okay rick don't know
The young guys do it. All right. I like that.
Ready? I thought it was very appropriate putting it
by the Bicentennial Memorial.
I mean, what more appropriate place could there be?
You know, people come when they come on these tours, they go to that monument
and they realize just how much time.
I mean, the world's longest running treasure hunt. You know, why not put it
there?
Okay, I think our work here is done, gentlemen. I believe so. Well done.
Let's have a round of applause for us, shall we? Rick?
To 50 years from now.
Done. Done.
I think ultimately the Oak Island mystery will be solved.
Every time you put shovel to earth, every time the drill bites soil, you
think, okay, this could be it.
It's taken a lot longer than I thought, and it's harder than I thought. This nut
is hard to crack, but so what?
And I say, we are going to get this done. That's my buddy.
All right, fine.
I'll go with that.
It's that simple.
There. We're not giving up.
For Rick, Marty, and their partners, today marks the end of a very productive
week. Not only have they forged an alliance with Dan Blankenship's longtime
rival, Fred Nolan, they've also made a potentially important discovery with
him. But now that virtually every acre of the island is available for them to
explore, what will they find?
More evidence of booby-trapped flood tunnels?
A man-made cavern in which lies a mysterious metal chest?
One thing is certain.
The baton of Oak Island history has been passed, and Rick and Marty Lagina have
now inherited 220 years of history and myth, triumph and tragedy.
But whether the search will end with discovery or will remain a mystery is
something only time and the island can tell.
Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.
There's a structure in the swamp.
Fred said it's somewhere between here and down there.
Let's find it.
What do you make of that right there? Wow.
Look at this.
Oh, yeah.
We did find something. I'm convinced it's a wreck.
Well, look at all the targets and go ahead and dive on it. There's a triangle
on top of a triangle. Where was it pointed? It's actually pointing to the
stone triangle on the island.
Can't find what you're looking for?
