Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.
We're back in the money pit and we hit a cabin.
Oh! It's dropping. It's dropped from 171 to 178 and it's still dropping.
Hey, look what I found. It's a piece of metal. Any idea what it is? It looks
like a little tiny Oak Island.
John Chatterton is confident he's going to go down to the bottom. It's not if we
can do it, it's how do we do it. Are you at the bottom of the sap?
I'm at the bottom.
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 Oak Island, the progress gained by a warm summer is rapidly giving way
to the harsh uncertainties of fall.
And another season of both promise and progress is rapidly coming to an end.
It is this reality that time is running out, which confronts brothers Rick and
Marty Lagina each and every day.
It is a reality they and their partners refuse to accept as they continue to
search the island for the clues that will help them solve a 220-year-old
mystery. Watch that pipe, Charles.
Watch that pipe.
Yeah, he's good.
Yeah, you're fine. He's got that much.
With both his brother and Craig Tester away on business, Rick Lagina is
determined to make the most out of the few weeks he has left.
Now we need these guys to rig up and start putting steel in the ground.
Why should you be optimistic about the Lagina brothers? Because of Rick Lagina.
He's not going to give up. He's not going to give up.
He's smart, he's capable, and he's dedicated, and he's intense.
I've been on this roller coaster ride about Oak Island for eight years now,
and it's important to persevere and to move forward and to solve this.
Hey, guys. John, Howard, how are you? One week ago, in a last-ditch effort to
find a diver who can get to the bottom of Borehole 10X, Rick and his brother
Marty... arranged for John Chatterton to come to Oak Island.
I'll tell you, from a dive perspective, this is a challenging and interesting
dive. A world-renowned diver, Chatterton has made numerous deep-water discoveries
and faced some of the most dangerous conditions imaginable.
We will get to the bottom, or at least as far as is humanly possible. We can't
wait to get this started.
Awesome.
Now, on the eve of a dive that may finally provide some much-hopeful
answers about 10X, Rick and members of his team are making one more attempt to
also get information from the place where the Oak Island treasure hunt
began, the Money Pit.
That's a big drill hit. You know, today should be exciting.
Charles Barkhouse, the guy who knows everything about Oak Island, has picked
a spot in the Money Pit area. He's put X on the ground.
Just based on my research that I've done, I've never believed that the money
pit was where a lot of people claim it to be. I think it's to the northwest,
but this is a spot I've picked.
One year ago, Rick, Craig Tester, and Dave Blankenship located what they
believed to be the original money pit after finding evidence of a mysterious
wooden vault that was first discovered by treasure hunters William Chappell and
Frederick Blair in 1897.
Definitely got wood.
That's definitely clay.
That's what they found at the top of the vault.
Today, they will be drilling at a spot just north of last year's drill site, a
spot that Oak Island historian Charles Barkhouse believes is not just near the
money pit, but the actual place where the Oak Island treasure was buried.
What makes you so sure it's here?
I don't know, David.
You know, there's no reference point you can take it off of. This whole
topography has changed, right? This was all bulldozed up here, right?
So it's the belief, the feeling, just everything that I've looked at over the
years. I just feel it's over this way.
Because the area is highly susceptible to flooding and the ground is unstable,
due to centuries of digging and tunneling, any full-scale effort to
excavate the money pit down to a depth of approximately 150 feet, is estimated
to cost in the millions of dollars.
And so far, Rick's brother Marty and their partners have been reluctant to
invest that kind of money unless solid evidence can be found that such a huge
financial effort would be worth it.
Total depth, we're talking 200.
We're looking for a void and or whatever.
Let's find something.
Let's do it today. Let's make today the day.
Rick is going to try and find evidence of the original money pit by using a
drilling system called a cyclone.
Reverse circulation, or cyclone drilling, is a method that uses a
pneumatic piston or hammer, which forces air into a hole while water is
simultaneously pumped in.
Any objects and possible treasure that are in the hole are then forced up to
the surface and collected in a sample bag.
Hey, Charles, look at it.
There's all kinds of wood here.
Holy... There's a big piece.
Wood? Could this be evidence of another mysterious wooden vault?
Similar to the one that Rick and his partners discovered last year?
Rick, look.
That's black wood.
Charles comes up with this piece of wood.
Dan has long told me black wood, foul smelling, is probably really, really
old. Could it be original works?
This is about 100 feet down.
Could be searcher tunnel.
Could be cribbing from the money pit.
Could be, could be, could be. Anyway, save this.
Rick is determined to find something more in the drill hole than just old
bits of wood.
really what we're looking for is evidence of metals really would be a
great thing yeah he knows all too well the tricks that oak island likes to play
on would-be treasure hunters and he has also invested too much time money and
sweat to walk away with nothing more than a few chips of wood from what could
be an old searcher tunnel where are we at now
We just asked Cody, you're going to go down without casing because we're in
stable bedrock.
So the holes stand up. A couple things, it'll drill faster and he'll be able to
figure out if he actually does hit a void where the top and where the bottom
might be. Pull the rods up. We don't have to worry about driving the casing
past it.
Get down about 160 feet and we hit bedrock.
Now that's disappointing, but it's typical Oak Island. I'm thinking...
Is that the end of the story?
There's no point in advancing casing through rock.
The holes are going to stand up.
We had committed to 200 feet, so we decided, okay, let's just drill. All
we're looking for are the returns and will the bar fall into a void. That's
it. It should be very simple.
Let's see the colors going again. I will change his color.
Tony, what causes the surges like that?
There's no rocks there anymore.
No? No rock? Zero.
Zero rock. No rock.
Let's just drop him.
Is that big?
Let us drop seven feet.
Rick, he said it just dropped seven feet. A seven-foot drop?
160 feet deep inside the money pit?
When the mysterious wooden vault was first discovered by William Chapel and
Frederick Blair in 1897, their records indicated that it was approximately
seven feet high due to the fact that their drill bits met with no resistance
and turned up no debris for that amount of depth.
It appeared the vault had been covered in a type of concrete and then sealed
with clay.
and it was also in this vault where one of the drill bits recovered a small
fragment of paper with writing on it.
Unfortunately, shortly after the wooden vault was discovered, efforts to dig
down and retrieve it were plagued by constant flooding, and the operation was
abandoned due to lack of money.
What depth are we at, Jordan?
We're probably at 178.
178? So it dropped from about 171 to 178 and still
dropping. It's still dropping?
Yeah. Rick, he said it dropped from 171 to 178 and it's still dropping.
Could this really be proof that what Rick and his partners have discovered is
another wooden vault located even deeper than the so-called chapel vault?
And if so, what?
is inside it still drop huge cabin that's huge
she
really just
fell yeah like nothing's there nothing while drilling in the area of
the money pit rick lagina along with Charles Barkhouse and Dave Blankenship,
have just located a large void 171 feet deep below the surface of Oak
Island. Yeah, put another rod on and see what happens.
I just want to let that blow for a second because if there's any large
amount of silt, it might plug the hammer up, right?
Does that mean we hit the cavity or what?
He's going to put another rod on and see how far she drops.
We hit a cavity.
I mean, Jordan says, you know, first it's seven feet, the bar's falling. You
know, you're watching the bar and it's going down and down and down and down.
Just drop it.
About 192 to bottom.
To bottom?
Yeah. 171 to 192?
71 to 192.
21 feet.
A 21-foot deep cavity, 171 feet underground?
Could this actually be evidence of a man-made treasure chamber deep within
Oak Island?
Feels like I'm in a slurry now, but there's still no... We've got them
there, you know what I mean?
What's a 21-foot high cavity doing below the anhydrite?
No indication of what it may or may not be.
Right now, there's a bottom down there.
I can't drill the bottom because there's too much water.
That air hammer won't cycle.
I think we should pull up, change bits to a trichome, drill a sump in that
hole. Might as well drill another 20 feet.
That way any debris can go down into a sump. It'll give it a place to go to.
Well, then go ahead and drill it.
As we're sifting through the returns in the trailer, I'll be honest, I'm looking
for a little round coin.
I'll get this clean, see what happens.
I'm thinking just one, just one time, just one, just something.
Having accumulated more wood and muddy sediment from the cyclone extractor.
Watch the trailer.
Rick, Charles, and Dave Blankenship.
Prepare to unload it into the backhoe to be scanned for any important evidence.
It's a mixture of sand and clay.
Really heavy. It is heavier.
To save the returns, I mean, that's always appropriate.
You want to know what you drilled through.
Do you want to go dump that?
I'll go dump it right up here.
Just up the hill from the money pit, Dave Blankenship dumps the sediment on
hard, flat ground so that it can be scanned with a metal detector.
Using the Minelab 3030 metal detector, Jack Bagley begins scanning over the
sediment to see if any metallic objects or artifacts may have come from the
large underground void.
Shortly after I start detecting, I get a hit.
After getting a hit, indicating the presence of a non-ferrous or possibly
precious metal, Jack then uses a handheld metal detector, known as a
pinpointer, to precisely isolate the object.
I washed it off with water and looked at it in my hand and went, well, this is
not natural. This is absolutely not natural and it's not iron.
Has Jack found an important clue? A metallic object that came out of a large
void 171 feet deep inside the money pit?
A lot of slot.
Yeah, it is.
Hey, look what I found over there. It's from your tailings pile.
It's a piece of metal.
Any idea what it is?
Not really.
It's... Not real heavy. No.
What's that in the center?
I don't know.
Okay. What's those three marks down at the bottom? See the three vertical marks
right there?
See? Look. Three slashes. They're down here on this end.
There's three vertical slashes, right? I just find it very curious. It's shaped
like Oak Island. It's shaped like Oak Island.
It looks like Oak Island, like a little tiny Oak Island.
But what does it mean?
If you look here, see the sheen there? Yeah. And then there's something, see
it, like it's an overlay?
Right.
A metal object?
And shaped like Oak Island?
Well, look here.
Could it be part of a larger ancient artifact?
Or is it possible evidence of treasure?
Well, look here, look on this side, and then look on the edge.
Right.
This is one of those situations where we try to figure it out until we get a
definitive answer.
This is what it is or this is what it isn't. It was intriguing enough, it was
odd enough that we thought we would have to see what this thing's all about.
Every clue is worth pursuing.
Bag it and tag it, Jack. Exactly.
All right, I'll let you know if I find any more. Yeah, please do.
Call it a day.
Look, it's the money pit. There's supposed to be a vault, treasure, call
it what you will. If that doesn't beckon you forward, if you can't listen to that
beacon call, what are we doing?
I think we'll do a little bit more discussion about this one.
I am getting to the bottom of that. I don't care what it costs.
After finding a new piece of evidence, and from a 21-foot void found deep
inside the money pit,
marty and their partners are once again excited by the prospect of an incredible
breakthrough but before they can go any farther or dig any deeper there is yet
another mystery they need to solve and like the money pit it also lies
deep underground
For me, it's always a big deal to remember the past about Oak Island, so I
want to thank you for coming.
While the team awaits the arrival of diver John Chatterdon, Rick Lagina is
bringing a special visitor to the island.
At 91 years of age, Lynn Walsh is the granddaughter of Maynard Kaiser, the
man who in 1897...
became the second victim of the infamous Oak Island curse when he fell to his
death while working inside the money pit.
And joining her are her niece Sally Kaiser and her friend Blair.
I admit I don't know much about the tragedy that day.
How old was Maynard when the tragedy happened?
I estimated he was around 47.
What do you recall from...
your family stories that he was looking for captain kid's treasure and
then of course we learned that it could be other things born in
canada maynard kaiser was a former officer in the british military in the
late 1800s he brought his wife and three children to nova scotia in hopes of
providing a new and prosperous life for them after hearing the rumors about a
mysterious pirate treasure buried on Oak Island.
Kaiser eagerly joined the Oak Island Treasure Company, led by Frederick
Blair. But on March 26, 1897, after a long day of working in the money
pit, Kaiser was being lifted out when a cable suddenly snapped, causing him to
fall to his death, more than 100 feet down to the bottom of the shaft.
We're now coming to the money pit itself.
Oh my goodness.
So the area he would have been working in would have been a shaft about 12 feet
in diameter.
It's not at all like I expected.
What were your expectations?
Well, I don't know, a great big hole in the ground.
But the thought was that maybe we would be able to get on Oak Island and see the
area, and that was all I expected.
Our grandfather's body was never recovered or never found.
Never found?
Is it possible that Maynard Kaiser's body was not recovered after his fatal
fall down to the bottom of the money pit?
And if so, could it still be down there after more than 100 years?
We heard about how the water came back in.
You know, because they thought, well, maybe his body washed it with the water.
So that was the mystery to them.
The water? Uh-huh, yeah.
Comes from over there. I see.
A tunnel from Smith's Cove into the Money Pit, introduced for the sole
reason everyone believes of... Of protecting the treasure.
Protecting it, exactly.
But that begs the question, is there a back door?
A back door?
Is it possible that Maynard Kaiser's body was washed out of the Money Pit
into one of the flood tunnels deep beneath Oak Island?
And if so...
Could there be a connection between Maynard Kaiser's missing remains and the
mysterious dead body that supposedly lies just 180 feet away at the bottom of
10X?
The fact that this be his grave here, and that too is something that you
feel differently about.
And it leaves this... Emptiness.
Yeah, vacancy.
But... I understand there is a memorial.
There is, and I'd love to take you down to it. It's right across the causeway.
That would be fine.
What happened?
I was surprised how little information there is about that incident.
And thus I understand Lynn's frustration.
Makes it real now, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. And, you know, the date is
interesting, too.
In 1995, to commemorate the 200-year anniversary of the Oak Island treasure
hunt, Dan Blankenship placed this memorial at the entrance to the island.
He wanted to pay respect to the six men who paid the ultimate price while in
pursuit of an incredible dream.
To me, in a small way, it personalizes the story of Oak Island, and it brings
some closure.
For her, it was personal.
and just as important as what we're trying to do.
And I felt a little emotional connection to that.
It's important to her, thus we'll make it important to us.
It's not over yet. I commit to you that we will pursue this.
That's excellent.
Well, I didn't ever think I'd see it. No, I never did either.
That was good. That's really something.
But I'm glad to see this. This is nice.
We hope that we can change what it says, the Oak Island Quest, that it will be
the Oak Island solution, and Maynard will have... Wouldn't that be great?
Wouldn't have been part of it. Would have been part of that, absolutely.
That's exactly right.
We will pursue trying to figure out what really happened.
I mean, it would trouble me if my forebears were, you know, had been lost
in a pit on a strange island.
You know, I'd want answers too.
And I want to thank you all for coming.
We're the ones that appreciate it, truly. I get a hug.
Okay.
We'll follow up, I promise. Okay, well, I truly appreciate everything that
you've done to help us to at least anticipate an answer. We'll do our very
best.
John Howard, you are indeed a sight for sore eyes.
Well, you know, this is a fascinating dive project.
It's right up our alley, challenging.
Renowned diver John Chatterdon, along with his business partner and dive
supervisor Howard Ehrenberg, have finally arrived on Oak Island.
If anybody can get us answers to the long sought after question of what's in
the bottom of 10X, we believe that you guys are going to be able to do it for
us.
Putting a dive together like this is literally like solving a puzzle.
It's not if we can do it, it's how do we do it. That I like to hear.
But it's the truth.
It's how.
And, you know, from our collective experience, we've got the experience,
we've got the equipment, we've got the education, we've got the right guys,
right team, and we're going to get down there.
Those are the best words we've heard in a long time, right, David? Yep.
With over 30 years of experience as a commercial wreck diver, working in deep
and confined underwater structures,
John Chatterton's determination to explore the unknown has taken him to
some of the most famous and infamous shipwrecks in the world.
From the Britannic to the Lusitania, the Andrea Doria.
and even the Titanic.
Given all our difficulties and our trials and tribulations with 10X to this
point, it's been difficult, to say the least.
Now with John Chatterton and his team arriving, one thing comes to mind. They
exude confidence. This is our war room.
Here's where you've got questions, we've got answers. Awesome.
If this is going to get done.
they're gonna do it oh hi i'm jack jack how you doing i don't think we've ever
had that confidence level david you want to get marty and craig as the team
prepares to review scanning sonar data obtained from the underground chamber at
the bottom of 10x marty lagina and craig tester join the meeting via
video conference from their offices in traverse city michigan to my right and
left respectively john chatterton Howard Ehrenberg. How you doing, guys?
You know why we're here.
Dive's gonna happen tomorrow.
We wanted to come out there, but I understand the weather isn't cooperating
too well. It's supposed to deteriorate. Is that right?
Well, according to the weatherman, it's the most rain and wind he's ever
forecast. That doesn't sound like good flying weather. No.
It's going to be bad, but they don't care. As a matter of fact, I like it
when the surface weather is a little bit challenging because I feel like I'm
getting away with something.
We know what we're doing, and we're going to make it happen.
Yeah, that is exciting as hell. I mean, that was our goal for this year was to
get to the bottom of that bloody 10X and see what is in that chamber. I mean,
there's a chamber there for sure.
It has things in it for sure.
but we just don't know what they are.
Jack, can you bring up some of these sonar images? Yeah. So we're going to
start out with the wireframe model that Brian Abbott made.
Oh, wow. That's awesome.
In order to help John Chatterdon familiarize himself with the bottom of
10X, the team is reviewing the scanning sonar data collected earlier this year.
It indicates where possible tunnels
two vertical wooden posts, a treasure chest, and even human remains lie
235 feet underground.
This is really valuable information, and obviously we can prioritize what's
important to you guys, but so far we haven't seen anything that makes us feel
anything but confident.
That's fantastic, John.
There was no sense of, well, this may get done, it may not get done, you know,
an issue may come up. There was none of that. You're obviously probably the most
accomplished diver in the world, but I mean, I've dived nothing like what
you're doing, but I mean, the 27-inch hole with a drill bar stuck in it is
okay with you?
Although John Chatterton is confident that he will be able to make his way to
the bottom of 10X through the narrow 27-inch wide shaft, it remains to be
seen. if the 20-foot drill bar that is wedged inside might prove to be a
dangerous and impassable obstruction.
I have dived pipes.
I've had to navigate past butterfly valves, and this is a relatively modest
depth. Are you going to use a warm-water suit?
Yes. We're going to use umbilicals, hot water. I'm going to go into the
chamber. We're going to have another diver.
in water as a tender.
No, I'm going to be wearing steel-toed boots, and if I have to move around
on the bottom, I'm literally going to be walking around.
To ensure that he will have as much maneuverability as possible, John will
be diving in only a wetsuit.
It will be fitted with an umbilical hose that will continuously pump hot water
through the suit in order to keep him reasonably warm.
in the otherwise frigid 40-degree water.
Both John and his fellow diver, Mike Huntley, will also be wearing Kirby
Morgan helmets, which will be able to feed them a combination of oxygen,
nitrogen, and helium, also known as Trimix.
The helmets are also equipped with live voice and video feeds, all of which will
be monitored by Howard Ehrenberg at the surface.
How long can you stay down with that?
We got a lot of air. Until Howard quits pumping gas down to me.
Then I will come up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you should be able to walk around and investigate the bottom kind of
fully. Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely. And I found that the room exuded a confidence. It was, look,
here's the guy, finally, who's going to do what we need done. It's that simple.
All right, guys, look, we're excited. We are. We are holding our breath with
anticipation.
Let's get her done. Yeah. See you guys.
Let's do this thing.
In spite of rain and the threat of a possible hurricane.
For Rick, Marty, and their partners, today may go down as one of the most
exciting and memorable they have had all summer.
Sorry for the bad weather.
Everything's going good.
Everything's going good, in spite of the weather.
In John Chatterton, they believe they have finally found the diver who can
reach the bottom of borehole 10X.
The reason why today holds such promise is simply because of the skill set and
the capabilities of John and his team.
Howard's the dive supervisor.
He's going to be coordinating everything.
If anybody has a question, he's the guy to go to. And Howard will be in
communication with me.
Okay, so the plan for the dive today is going to get in the basket. We're going
to lower the basket to a water depth of 40 feet.
Assisting John Chatterton inside 10X will be safety diver Mike Huntley, and
both will be able to have full communication with dive supervisor
Howard Ehrenberg, who will remain at the surface.
As John makes his way down, he will enter the 8-foot-wide portion of the
shaft feet first.
Mike will then follow him to the 181-foot level, where he will remain
while John continues his descent.
through the narrow 27-inch portion of the shaft.
If John should encounter any difficulties or dangerous obstructions,
like the 20-foot drill bar that is wedged at the 204-foot level, Mike will
be ready to help him.
Who is the guy who's going to be safe? You're going to be safe. I'm signal man,
yeah. Okay. You can look through the window. You can look through the window.
I'll give you signals to take the basket up and then stop.
Yeah. Okay. Anybody have any questions?
If we got any problems, we'll solve them on the fly and that's it. I'd say let's
get wet, but we're already wet.
When
you
talk to John, there's a gleam in his eye.
He wants to go down to the bottom. He's going to go down to the bottom.
here we go he's not overconfident but he's confident he knows what he can do
okay here we go okay good
we're ready going down
as a final precaution should something go wrong with john's surface air supply
he will be carrying with him a single emergency air tank attached to his waist
Copy that.
Because Marty and Craig Tester cannot be there in person, they will be able to
monitor the dive via video conference.
Hey, Rick.
Hey, what's up?
You guys look a lot warmer than we do.
It's beautiful here.
Look, we wouldn't have started on this journey without my brother, so having
him there, at least on the television screen, of course it's important. I
mean, that's what this is about.
And I'm sure I know that he wishes he were here.
Are you in the water right now?
Yeah, I'm in the water next to the crank.
Okay.
Going down.
Okay, stand by.
I'll stop.
I'll stop.
I'll stop, confirmed.
Okay. Basically standing up in the box, my heart's at like 41 feet.
Perfect. Okay, when you step onto the ladder, I'm going to... Fire on your
light, okay, John?
I am on the ladder right now.
To guide himself down the 181-foot portion of the shaft, John Chatterton is
using the ladder installed nearly 30 years ago by Dan and Dave Blankenship.
Although it has rusted due to decades of exposure to the frigid salt waters of
the North Atlantic, it should still be strong enough for today's descent.
Copy that.
Anyway, they're, as you know, they're both in a hole.
Right. Okay.
Is the visibility less than zero, John?
No, actually, it's not bad.
You can probably see my glove.
Yeah, I think we can kind of see it.
John, he's at the top of the pipe cage.
He's 10 minutes past surface, and he's at the opening already, so that's good.
He's, like, right on schedule.
What's your depth, John?
All right, we're going to switch gas now.
OK.
I got my computer switching over to helium, and I'm ready to head down the
chain.
OK. Proceed down.
John's like, who's inside the rock right now?
Copy. John's inside the rock right now.
World-renowned diver John Chatterton is now deep inside borehole 10X.
He has just entered the narrow 27-inch hole and is about to make his way to
what could be a man-made treasure chamber 235 feet deep underground.
Yes. He's dropping down through the anhydrite right now, and you can see the
rock.
Oh, you found the drill bar. Found the drill bar. At the drill bar.
You can see the drill pipe here, right?
Oh, you see it? Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's a piece of drill pipe.
At a depth of 204 feet beneath the surface, John Chatterton has encountered
the drill bar that has remained wedged inside the narrowed 27-inch wide shaft.
Slack Diver 1, please.
Slack Diver 1.
Is it slack?
Yeah. I gave him quite a bit of slack there, Howard.
Guy Rowan, you should have some slack. Are you trying to run the hose past the
drill bar?
He's got quite a bit of slack in the water right now.
Getting past the 20-foot drill bar is proving to be more difficult
than John Chatterton expected.
If he can't move his body around it, the dive is over.
Suddenly, the team's worst fears have become realized.
John Chatterton's breathing and communications apparatus have become
caught on the drill bar.
If his air cable breaks, John could find himself in deadly danger.
Stop,
stop, stop, stop, stop.
We did.
When you hear the word stuck, with a diver 100 and 200 feet below the
surface. Of course, that strikes a chord.
Okay, can you take over my umbilical?
Slack diver one.
Might the drill bar have dislodged? Might it be in a very precarious
position? Nothing I can do but pray.
What? It's free.
Diver 1, are you able to make it past that and continue down the opening?
Yeah.
By staying focused and maneuvering his body carefully, John Chatterton has
managed to move past the drill bar and continue his journey down the narrow 27
-inch wide shaft.
Diver 2, if you just want to stand by right there in case John gets snagged
again.
Diver 2, I'll send to the bottom of the ladder.
That's with the medical management.
Roger that.
Rick, Marty, Craig, and their partners could be just minutes away from finding
out if what Dan Blankenship has believed for 40 years is true.
That 10X really does contain man-made tunnels, wooden posts, a
wooden chest, human remains, and, quite possibly, the ultimate answer to what
happened on Oak Island centuries ago.
You're sure you're at the bottom of the... You're in the chamber is what
you're saying.
I am in the chamber.
Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.
What?
The tunnel that humans were in.
We found it. It blows the whole thing wide open.
I picked it up. It was heavy.
That's our boss.
Here we go. We had to explore the void. So we brought in a specialist.
The hell is that? That right there. It looks metallic.
It's a gold color. Yeah, there it is, David.
