Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,252 --> 00:00:01,291
Narrator: Tonight on
the curse of oak island...
2
00:00:02,962 --> 00:00:05,337
Marty: Let's quit jawboning and dig.
3
00:00:05,381 --> 00:00:06,422
There it is.
4
00:00:06,465 --> 00:00:07,506
-Looks like a nice big x.
-Marty: Wow.
5
00:00:07,591 --> 00:00:09,508
What the heck?
Oh!
6
00:00:09,593 --> 00:00:11,093
-No way.
-Another ax!
7
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:13,095
This is no coincidence.
8
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:15,180
This reminds me of a camp.
9
00:00:15,224 --> 00:00:17,141
Corjan: There's a four-kilometer menorah in France.
10
00:00:17,226 --> 00:00:19,893
They built a giant royal arch
11
00:00:19,979 --> 00:00:22,604
from the temple mount to oak island.
12
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:23,731
-That's impressive.
-Yeah.
13
00:00:23,816 --> 00:00:25,315
Well, there's something
dug here.
14
00:00:25,401 --> 00:00:27,776
Tom: It is 100% man-made.
15
00:00:30,781 --> 00:00:33,407
Narrator: There is an island in the north atlantic
16
00:00:33,492 --> 00:00:37,494
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
17
00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:40,164
for more than 200 years.
18
00:00:40,249 --> 00:00:43,709
So far they have found a stone slab
19
00:00:43,794 --> 00:00:46,712
with strange symbols carved into it...
20
00:00:46,797 --> 00:00:49,465
Mysterious fragments of human bone...
21
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:54,511
And a lead cross whose origin may stretch back to the days
22
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:55,679
of the knights templar.
23
00:00:55,765 --> 00:00:58,390
To date, six men have died
24
00:00:58,476 --> 00:01:00,309
trying to solve the mystery.
25
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:03,395
And according to legend,
26
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,232
one more will have to die,
27
00:01:07,318 --> 00:01:10,235
before the treasure can be found.
28
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:37,721
As the start of a new day dawns on oak island...
29
00:01:37,807 --> 00:01:39,598
-Well, that's what I'm saying.
-Morning.
30
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:42,101
-Hey, guys.
-Guys.
31
00:01:42,186 --> 00:01:44,269
Narrator: ...Brothers rick and marty lagina
32
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:48,524
and archeologist laird niven arrive on lot 15
33
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:52,194
where fellow archeologists, aaron taylor, david macinnes,
34
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:54,321
and liz michels, as well
35
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:56,740
as oak island historian doug crowell
36
00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:58,450
are continuing their investigation
37
00:01:58,494 --> 00:02:00,077
of an old stone structure
38
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:02,329
believed to be a pine tar kiln
39
00:02:02,414 --> 00:02:04,414
that is possibly connected to the construction
40
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,291
of the original money pit.
41
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:10,838
One that was also noted on a 40-year-old survey map
42
00:02:10,923 --> 00:02:13,799
created by the late oak island treasure hunter fred nolan
43
00:02:13,843 --> 00:02:17,136
as a possible tunnel entrance.
44
00:02:17,179 --> 00:02:20,639
-Did you find anything down
there where you are standing?
-Yes.
45
00:02:20,683 --> 00:02:24,434
-I found till, I'm standing
on till. Glacial till.
-That's the end of it.
46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,727
-We've hit the bottom.
-That's the end of it.
47
00:02:25,813 --> 00:02:27,396
We're at the bottom of it.
48
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:29,314
And you still think
it's a pine tar kiln?
49
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:33,360
It's always been
a pine tarn kiln.
50
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:36,280
-Okay.
-David: At least some type
51
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:38,532
of industrial activity here
or preindustrial activity
52
00:02:38,617 --> 00:02:40,242
where there was
extensive burning
53
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:41,660
over a prolonged period of time.
54
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:43,579
The charcoal is unmistakable.
55
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:46,623
I got a piece of that charcoal
and we're gonna date it.
56
00:02:46,709 --> 00:02:49,293
-That would be exciting.
-I mean, if this was the 1500s,
57
00:02:49,378 --> 00:02:51,461
-that's important.
-Yeah, it is.
-It is.
58
00:02:51,547 --> 00:02:53,297
Mm-hmm.
59
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:54,756
-Dave has been calling it
the pit of despair.
-Yeah.
60
00:02:54,842 --> 00:02:56,383
I think it's the pit of promise.
61
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,260
-The pit of promise.
-(laughter)
62
00:02:58,345 --> 00:03:01,013
narrator: Although rick, marty and the team
63
00:03:01,098 --> 00:03:03,765
are eager to perform deep earth scans
64
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:07,853
and possibly conduct a much larger excavation of the site,
65
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:10,314
they must first wait for the proper permits,
66
00:03:10,399 --> 00:03:11,982
which they can only obtain
67
00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:15,485
once the archaeologists complete their investigation.
68
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:18,363
I would say
the chances of it being
69
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:21,658
not archeologically significant
have now been eliminated.
70
00:03:21,744 --> 00:03:23,827
It is archeologically
significant.
71
00:03:23,913 --> 00:03:25,913
-You see that?
-Laird: Yeah.
72
00:03:25,998 --> 00:03:27,831
David:
This is till, right there.
73
00:03:27,917 --> 00:03:29,666
Rick: On fred's map,
74
00:03:29,752 --> 00:03:33,212
it's denoted as
"possible tunnel entrance."
75
00:03:33,297 --> 00:03:36,298
even though we're at glacial till,
76
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:38,759
there's certainly still a possibility
77
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:41,845
that, deeper, there may be a tunnel.
78
00:03:41,931 --> 00:03:45,599
But we need to move resources, assets and people
79
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:47,184
away from this feature.
80
00:03:47,269 --> 00:03:48,852
There are a lot of other
activities
81
00:03:48,938 --> 00:03:50,520
that we need to engage with.
82
00:03:50,606 --> 00:03:52,397
Marty:
All right, our work here's done.
83
00:03:52,441 --> 00:03:54,399
-Yours isn't.
-David: No, it isn't.
84
00:03:54,485 --> 00:03:55,442
Marty:
Okay, carry on.
85
00:03:55,527 --> 00:03:56,652
-Yep.
-Yep, thank you.
86
00:03:56,695 --> 00:03:59,029
-Liz: All right. -David: See you guys.
87
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,908
-Narrator: Later that morning.. -Marty: Hey, guys.
88
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:04,201
-Hey, guys.
-Hey.
89
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:06,703
-Hello.
-Hey, guys. Good to be here.
90
00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:09,373
Narrator: ...Rick, marty and alex lagina
91
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:10,582
have gathered in the war room
92
00:04:10,626 --> 00:04:12,751
for a meeting via video conference
93
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:15,379
with rick and marty's partner, craig tester,
94
00:04:15,464 --> 00:04:18,840
as well as david irving, of irving equipment limited,
95
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:21,927
to discuss future plans for a possible large-scale
96
00:04:21,971 --> 00:04:24,346
digging operation in the money pit.
97
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:27,432
So, david, we have some
information for you and, uh,
98
00:04:27,518 --> 00:04:30,394
first we want to thank you
for doing all the work you did,
99
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:33,146
showing us alternatives
to how to do the big dig.
100
00:04:33,232 --> 00:04:35,399
You know, the honeycomb
sort of approach.
101
00:04:39,822 --> 00:04:41,446
Sounds cool.
102
00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:44,449
Narrator: Four weeks ago, david and his colleagues
103
00:04:44,535 --> 00:04:47,369
created an augmented-reality computer model
104
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:49,955
for a major excavation across the money pit area
105
00:04:49,999 --> 00:04:52,624
known as the honeycomb method.
106
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:55,585
By digging a large number of eight-foot-wide
107
00:04:55,671 --> 00:04:57,546
steel caissons down to the bedrock
108
00:04:57,631 --> 00:04:59,298
in a uniform pattern,
109
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:02,801
each shaft could be excavatedand then backfilled if necessay
110
00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:07,097
before maneuvering the equipmet to each new drill site.
111
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:10,475
This method could enable the laginas and their partners
112
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,812
to cover a large area without the enormous expense
113
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:17,649
and dangers of drilling a massive 100-foot-wide hole.
114
00:05:19,278 --> 00:05:21,445
Marty:
We just want to let you know
115
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:25,032
the bad news is we really
believe we've run out of time
116
00:05:25,117 --> 00:05:28,452
to do either a big can
this year,
117
00:05:28,537 --> 00:05:30,329
because of the covid delays.
118
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:33,790
And certainly the big dig,
however it evolves,
119
00:05:33,876 --> 00:05:37,002
is gonna have to be postponed
into next year.
120
00:05:37,087 --> 00:05:39,588
Irving: Yeah. No, I mean, I...
121
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,924
I think we were-we were coming
to that realization ourselves.
122
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:44,843
A lot of this is outside of
123
00:05:44,887 --> 00:05:46,720
everyone's control, with the restrictions
124
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:49,473
and constraints of this virus that's going around, but, uh,
125
00:05:49,558 --> 00:05:50,891
I guess that's
the silver lining.
126
00:05:50,976 --> 00:05:52,768
It gives us more time
to sharpen our pencil
127
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:55,854
and refine our approach so we
can do a better job for you.
128
00:05:55,939 --> 00:05:57,689
-Yeah.
-Craig: Well, david, hopefully
129
00:05:57,733 --> 00:06:00,067
our drilling program this year will really
130
00:06:00,152 --> 00:06:03,987
narrow down, uh, where
we want to put in cans
131
00:06:04,073 --> 00:06:05,864
or the big dig. And, uh,
132
00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:07,616
hopefully over the wintertime you guys can
133
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:09,451
design a good program for us.
134
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:10,660
Yeah.
135
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:12,829
It's almost impossible right now
136
00:06:12,915 --> 00:06:14,998
to do a big dig, but
137
00:06:15,084 --> 00:06:17,042
this year we have
138
00:06:17,086 --> 00:06:19,503
a very involved and intricate
139
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:22,756
drill program in the money pit with choice drilling.
140
00:06:22,841 --> 00:06:25,342
The purpose of this drilling program this year
141
00:06:25,427 --> 00:06:27,386
is not just about putting the holes down,
142
00:06:27,471 --> 00:06:30,764
it's about interpreting the daa for a big dig.
143
00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:33,475
Let us go back to our team here, craig,
144
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,727
our design team. We're gonna
kick around a few ideas
145
00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:37,062
and then get back to you.
146
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:38,730
We'll try and do so here as soon as possible.
147
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:40,649
You know, before, uh, the end of the summer, I think
148
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,984
we should have some-some good
information back to you.
149
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:44,820
Sounds great.
150
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:46,321
Rick:
Well, david, we just want
to say thank you.
151
00:06:46,407 --> 00:06:49,533
Uh, the answers here
I think will be amazing.
152
00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:52,202
That's great. Listen, guys, we're available 24/7.
153
00:06:52,287 --> 00:06:54,371
And, uh, we look forward
to the next steps here
154
00:06:54,456 --> 00:06:55,872
talking to you guys,
so just, in the meantime,
155
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:57,374
stay safe, stay in touch.
156
00:06:57,459 --> 00:06:58,458
-Sounds good.
-Sounds good.
157
00:06:58,544 --> 00:06:59,543
-Thank you.
-Until the next time.
158
00:06:59,628 --> 00:07:00,419
Irving: Take care. Bye.
159
00:07:00,504 --> 00:07:02,421
Alex: Bye-bye.
160
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,591
Narrator: Meanwhile, over on lot 32...
161
00:07:06,677 --> 00:07:09,970
This is gonna be a really,
really good area.
162
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:11,513
I just know it.
163
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:14,433
Narrator: ...Metal detection expert gary drayton
164
00:07:14,518 --> 00:07:17,102
and rick and marty's nephew peter fornetti
165
00:07:17,146 --> 00:07:20,063
have arrived at a never-before explored area
166
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:22,023
near the western edge of the swamp
167
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:26,027
that the team has recently cleared of large trees.
168
00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:30,532
Gary:
I'm gonna keep a nice
tight search pattern.
169
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,075
Peter:
Okay.
170
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:35,787
-(scanner beeping)
-oh. Sounds good.
171
00:07:35,831 --> 00:07:37,914
(loud whine)
172
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,207
that's a screamer, mate.
173
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:43,086
Nice screaming loud signal.
174
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:48,842
Please be something good.
175
00:07:48,927 --> 00:07:51,136
(scanner beeping)
176
00:07:51,221 --> 00:07:52,888
wow.
177
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:57,851
Ha. Cool old ax.
178
00:07:57,936 --> 00:07:59,436
It's a thick one.
179
00:07:59,521 --> 00:08:01,605
-Yeah, this is an oldie as well.
-Large.
180
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:02,981
By the look of it.
181
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:06,485
-Well, it's still got
the wood in it.
-Oh, wow.
182
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:08,487
Gary:
Looks like it was hand-forged.
183
00:08:08,530 --> 00:08:10,405
And this has been in here
a long time.
184
00:08:10,491 --> 00:08:11,865
Look at how deep
that was, mate.
185
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,492
That was great digging.
186
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:16,786
-This is in really great shape.
-Mm-hmm.
187
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,455
It's not really a heavy-duty ax.
188
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:20,332
A heavy-duty ax is with
the double bit axes.
189
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:22,959
-And you see that
flat head there?
-Yeah,
190
00:08:23,045 --> 00:08:25,962
-that didn't break off.
-So it was for pounding as well.
191
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:27,797
And this is very similar
192
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:31,510
-to what we was finding on the
eastern side of the swamp.
-Mm-hmm.
193
00:08:31,595 --> 00:08:32,636
Up on lot 15.
194
00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:36,806
That's a ax.
It's a broken ax.
195
00:08:36,892 --> 00:08:38,141
Oh, it is!
196
00:08:38,227 --> 00:08:41,019
Narrator: Two weeks ago. While searching lot 15,
197
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:44,022
just west of the mysterious stone structure,
198
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:47,484
gary and jack begley discovered a rigging ax,
199
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:50,862
commonly used on ships dating as far back
200
00:08:50,948 --> 00:08:52,739
as the 17th century.
201
00:08:52,824 --> 00:08:56,034
Could this ax have been left by the same people
202
00:08:56,078 --> 00:08:59,704
who left behind the one found on lot 15?
203
00:08:59,790 --> 00:09:03,667
And if so, could they also be connected to an operation
204
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:06,962
to bury treasure in the money pit?
205
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:13,009
(scanner beeping)
206
00:09:13,095 --> 00:09:15,679
it just can't be.
207
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:17,889
-How deep?
-Just there.
208
00:09:17,975 --> 00:09:19,099
Three or four inches.
209
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:20,976
Just there, mate.
210
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:29,234
(scanner beeping rapidly)
211
00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:30,360
oh!
212
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:34,864
-It's another ax!
-Wow.
213
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:37,492
(chuckles):
Another ax, mate.
214
00:09:37,578 --> 00:09:38,868
I was hoping,
but I was thinking,
215
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:41,037
"no.
Two in the same area?"
216
00:09:41,123 --> 00:09:44,833
the same kind of shape
as the other one,
217
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:47,043
with a flat head.
218
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:48,878
And it's got wood in there.
219
00:09:48,964 --> 00:09:51,798
Oh, wow, look at the condition
of it.
220
00:09:51,883 --> 00:09:53,216
Whatever this was used for
in here,
221
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:56,886
we've got two axes
being broken here,
222
00:09:56,972 --> 00:09:58,138
unless someone just dumped 'em.
223
00:09:58,223 --> 00:10:00,599
But these would have been
a valuable commodity
224
00:10:00,684 --> 00:10:02,017
-back in the day.
-Oh, absolutely.
225
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:04,227
Oh, man, we got to
continue, mate.
226
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:07,772
These axes
probably date from
227
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:09,149
the same time frame
228
00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:12,068
as the artifacts we pulled off lot 15.
229
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:15,196
And it wouldn't surprise me if they come from
230
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:18,158
the same country or region.
231
00:10:18,243 --> 00:10:20,910
I think both of these lots
are connected.
232
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:25,081
(scanner beeping)
233
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:28,001
yeah, there is a signal.
Just here, mate.
234
00:10:28,086 --> 00:10:30,086
-Nice, strong one.
-(loud whining)
235
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:32,631
-peter: Yep.
-Gary: Yep, just there.
236
00:10:36,178 --> 00:10:39,012
All right. Let me get
that pinpoint in there.
237
00:10:39,097 --> 00:10:40,889
(beeping rapidly)
238
00:10:42,684 --> 00:10:45,894
what the heck
is going on here?
239
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:53,068
Gary:What the heck is going on here?
240
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:54,778
Blimey, look at that.
241
00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:56,780
-(laughs)
-peter: No way.
242
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:59,282
-Another ax!
-This is starting to be,
243
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:01,076
-like, unbelievable.
-Yeah.
244
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:03,370
Narrator: On lot 32--
245
00:11:03,455 --> 00:11:05,830
just west of the oak island swamp--
246
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:09,459
metal detection expertgary drayton and peter fornetti
247
00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:12,253
have just made anotherpotentially important discover.
248
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:14,214
Gary:
All right, I know
249
00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:15,965
we're not on high ground,
250
00:11:16,051 --> 00:11:17,926
but this reminds of a camp.
251
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:21,304
Why so many tools are
in one area at the same time.
252
00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:23,973
I mean,
doesn't make sense to me.
253
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:28,812
Narrator: Is it possible that, just like on lot 15,
254
00:11:28,897 --> 00:11:30,980
the oak island team could have found another site
255
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:32,816
where human activity took place
256
00:11:32,901 --> 00:11:37,529
prior to the discovery of the money pit in 1795?
257
00:11:37,572 --> 00:11:39,989
You said "camp."
should we call laird?
258
00:11:40,075 --> 00:11:41,491
Yeah, I think we
should stand down, mate.
259
00:11:41,576 --> 00:11:42,909
That's what laird
would want us to do.
260
00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:46,663
I mean, th-this
is no coincidence.
261
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:50,041
Think he's not too far away.
262
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:51,209
(line rings)
263
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:53,002
laird: Hello?
264
00:11:53,088 --> 00:11:55,213
-Hey, laird.
-Hey, gary. How are you?
265
00:11:55,257 --> 00:11:58,675
What this says to me
as the metal-detecting guy
266
00:11:58,719 --> 00:12:01,302
is there was some kind of camp
267
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:04,013
on the west side of the swamp
268
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:07,225
and a trail on lot 15.
269
00:12:07,310 --> 00:12:09,018
Peter:
Hey, laird.
270
00:12:09,104 --> 00:12:11,062
-Hey, guys.
-Hi, mate.
271
00:12:11,148 --> 00:12:13,148
What do we have?
272
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:15,108
Show him, pete.
We pulled up three
273
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:17,235
really old axes
274
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,195
within feet of each other.
275
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:20,363
Like, a 20-feet area.
276
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:22,240
-And they're all broken.
-Mm-hmm.
277
00:12:22,325 --> 00:12:24,409
Gary:
Got little bits
of shaft still in them.
278
00:12:24,494 --> 00:12:26,035
Laird:
They certainly aren't
modern, are they?
279
00:12:26,121 --> 00:12:27,787
-Peter: No.
-Gary: No. I...
280
00:12:27,873 --> 00:12:29,664
I knew you would
say the same, mate.
281
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:32,751
These look old,
and they feel old as well.
282
00:12:32,794 --> 00:12:35,211
You seen anything like this?
283
00:12:35,297 --> 00:12:37,464
I've seen some.
We don't get
284
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:39,507
-a lot of axes.
-Peter: Mm-hmm.
285
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:41,885
Gary:
And-and I don't think
they're for logging,
286
00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:44,971
because they're single-bit axes,
and they're not big enough
287
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:47,098
-to be chopping trees down.
-Laird: Just... They're just...
288
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:48,892
These are just forest axes.
They're just...
289
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:51,436
-Yeah.
-Maybe limbing, or something
like that, right?
290
00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:53,313
Really neat.
291
00:12:53,398 --> 00:12:55,774
And for them all to be
in one area, mate,
292
00:12:55,859 --> 00:12:57,901
do you think it possibly
could be, like,
293
00:12:57,986 --> 00:13:00,945
-a camp in this area?
-It's difficult to imagine now.
294
00:13:02,032 --> 00:13:03,281
What other explanation is there?
295
00:13:03,325 --> 00:13:04,824
Gary:
Yeah, I know.
296
00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:08,328
A prime location.
And now it's clear, mate.
297
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:12,749
This-this is gonna bring
some good rewards to us.
298
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,251
-Oh, yeah. That's great.
-Mm-hmm.
299
00:13:15,337 --> 00:13:17,295
Gary:
I'm sure we'll find
some more around there.
300
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:18,963
All right. Good luck.
301
00:13:19,049 --> 00:13:20,924
-Thank you.
-All right, mate.
Thanks for coming over.
302
00:13:21,009 --> 00:13:22,383
Cheers.
All right, mate, let's just
303
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,260
-pick up this line
around the outside.
-Awesome.
304
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:27,472
Expand the search area.
305
00:13:29,643 --> 00:13:31,601
Gary: Everybody's gonna be impressed with these.
306
00:13:31,686 --> 00:13:33,561
-These are nice. -Peter: Absolutely.
307
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:36,147
Narrator: As gary and peter continue their investigation
308
00:13:36,233 --> 00:13:37,941
on lot 32...
309
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:40,401
Corjan: Hi, guys.
310
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:42,362
-Hello, chris, corjan.
-Others: Hey, guys.
311
00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,072
-Good to see you again.
-Good to see you.
312
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:47,867
Narrator: ...Rick and martylagina, along with jack begley,
313
00:13:47,953 --> 00:13:50,036
surveyor steve guptill
314
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:51,996
and oak island historian doug crowell,
315
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,375
have gathered in the war room for a new presentation
316
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:57,836
from oak island theorists corjan mol
317
00:13:57,879 --> 00:13:59,879
and chris morford.
318
00:13:59,965 --> 00:14:01,923
We are going to come up with a number
319
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:03,299
of interesting points
320
00:14:03,385 --> 00:14:06,219
that we believe
deserve investigation.
321
00:14:06,304 --> 00:14:09,264
-Okay.
-We very much look forward to
what you have to present today.
322
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:13,309
Narrator: Last year, their extensive research of three paintings
323
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:16,980
by the 17th century french artist nicolas poussin,
324
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:20,525
including his most famous work,
the shepherds of arcadia,
325
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:24,362
revealed what they believed to be a secret treasure map.
326
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:29,284
A map that when placed over the boulder formation
327
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:31,536
known as nolan's cross
328
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:34,831
led the team to discovera mysterious circle of boulders
329
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:37,500
at a location that has come to be known
330
00:14:37,586 --> 00:14:39,127
as the "eye of the swamp."
331
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:44,924
-wow.
-Gary: Wow.
332
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:48,052
That is massive.
That-that's a big boulder.
333
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:53,892
Corjan: This is where we left off last year.
334
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:58,229
Where we anchored a pentagram to nolan's cross
335
00:14:58,315 --> 00:15:02,650
to position nicolas poussin's
shepherds of arcadia.
336
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:05,194
So this was our
starting position.
337
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,489
We really wanted to understand what this eye was doing there.
338
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:11,075
What's the deal with the cross and the pentagram?
339
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:13,620
Chris: Well, we knew we had to start looking at these paths
340
00:15:13,705 --> 00:15:15,413
and what they may be
pointing to.
341
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:19,876
We were working underthe assumption that these paths
342
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,337
had to be pointing to something.
343
00:15:23,632 --> 00:15:27,050
And when we took to google earh to see where
344
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:30,053
that might be pointing, we were quite astonished.
345
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:32,013
If you'll follow along on the path here,
346
00:15:32,098 --> 00:15:36,517
these paths will lead you right to versailles.
347
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:39,395
Marty: Come on, right down the axis of the cross?
348
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:40,563
Corjan: Yes.
349
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:42,982
-That's impressive.
-Yeah.
350
00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:45,068
Corjan: Versailles is the world's largest royal domain.
351
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:47,111
It spans 2,000 acres.
352
00:15:47,155 --> 00:15:49,530
It was built in the 17th centuy
353
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,325
by louis xiv, king of France.
354
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:57,121
Narrator: Based on their research,it is corjan and chris's belief
355
00:15:57,165 --> 00:16:00,124
that the palace of versailles may have been where priceless
356
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:02,460
treasures obtained by the knights templar
357
00:16:02,545 --> 00:16:04,629
in the holy land during the crusades
358
00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:07,090
were kept hidden for a period of time
359
00:16:07,175 --> 00:16:09,968
before being moved to a more secret location.
360
00:16:10,053 --> 00:16:12,345
These treasures include the ark of the covenant
361
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:15,431
and the golden menorah that once stood
362
00:16:15,517 --> 00:16:17,642
in the temple of solomon, on what is today
363
00:16:17,686 --> 00:16:20,603
the temple mount in jerusalem.
364
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:23,314
We started to look at
365
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,650
the whole domain from the air.
366
00:16:25,694 --> 00:16:30,071
Chris: So you're seeing an aerial shot of versailles here.
367
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:32,407
We noticed there was
a very distinct plan.
368
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:36,619
The entire domain appeared to be laid out
369
00:16:36,705 --> 00:16:39,122
like a giant menorah.
370
00:16:39,207 --> 00:16:42,000
Including the tripod at the very bottom.
371
00:16:42,085 --> 00:16:44,919
-Really?
-And we wondered where we would land
372
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:47,255
if we would travel
in the other direction.
373
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,465
We could not believe when we saw this.
374
00:16:52,262 --> 00:16:54,804
Chris: It lands not close to, but directly on top
375
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:58,182
of the old site of the temple of solomon.
376
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:00,018
Marty:
Holy smokes.
377
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,438
Narrator: A perfect line?
378
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:06,566
Starting at the site of the original temple of solomon
379
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:08,317
in jerusalem?
380
00:17:08,403 --> 00:17:11,029
Leading straight through the palace of versailles,
381
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:14,949
and finally landing on oak island?
382
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:17,410
Marty (chuckles): There it is.
383
00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:18,995
I recognize that.
384
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,705
Narrator: Is it possible
385
00:17:20,749 --> 00:17:22,999
that corjan mol and chris morford
386
00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:25,710
have uncovered critical clues
387
00:17:25,754 --> 00:17:28,046
as to not just the origins of the oak island mystery,
388
00:17:28,089 --> 00:17:32,383
but also what could be buried there?
389
00:17:32,427 --> 00:17:36,012
We believe they built a giant royal arch
390
00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:38,931
from the temple mount that was pointing
391
00:17:39,017 --> 00:17:41,517
to nolan's cross on oak island.
392
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:44,729
Well, you damn sure got us here.
393
00:17:44,773 --> 00:17:46,105
(laughter)
394
00:17:46,191 --> 00:17:47,482
but I still want to know
one thing.
395
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:50,651
What's the "why" of this?
396
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,653
We think the knights templar
indeed
397
00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:56,407
dug up solomon's treasure.
398
00:17:56,451 --> 00:17:57,784
Really?
399
00:17:57,869 --> 00:18:01,370
Which consisted of possibly the ark,
400
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:04,332
and more than one menorahs.
401
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:05,708
One of those
402
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:08,669
was potentially shipped
to north america
403
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:10,671
for safekeeping.
404
00:18:10,757 --> 00:18:12,423
Perhaps buried
405
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:14,884
-in the oak island swamp.
-(marty chuckles)
406
00:18:14,969 --> 00:18:18,137
well, I hope you're right,
that's for dang sure.
407
00:18:18,223 --> 00:18:19,806
Chris and corjan have done
a lot of work.
408
00:18:19,891 --> 00:18:22,558
It's remarkable, the effort
they have put into this.
409
00:18:22,644 --> 00:18:26,729
It's certainly humbling to thik that this tiny little island
410
00:18:26,815 --> 00:18:28,564
in the north atlantic might house something
411
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:32,110
as historic and as, literally, earth-shattering
412
00:18:32,195 --> 00:18:36,072
as perhaps a menorah
from the temple of solomon.
413
00:18:36,157 --> 00:18:38,491
Are you gonna tell us
where to dig?
414
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,743
Yes.
415
00:18:40,829 --> 00:18:42,120
-Okay. Good.
-(laughter)
416
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:45,581
we got the idea that
you could take the distance
417
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:49,127
from arcadia stone right to the center of the cross.
418
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:51,212
And you can create a circle from that,
419
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:53,965
go out the same distance again to the headstone.
420
00:18:54,008 --> 00:18:56,300
You can create another circle there.
421
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,594
And then the overall circle that encompasses
422
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,138
the entire cross.
423
00:19:00,223 --> 00:19:02,265
And you have three concentric circles there.
424
00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:04,267
And if you take half of that,
425
00:19:04,352 --> 00:19:07,270
you can form a menorah.
426
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:10,273
And when you overlay a pentagrm
427
00:19:10,358 --> 00:19:12,316
within the second circle there,
428
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,902
and you can see that the bottom points of the pentagram
429
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:19,115
are pointing to two locations left and right of the spine,
430
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,159
marked by the green dots there.
431
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:26,789
Okay, so you want us to look
where the-- where the menorah
432
00:19:26,875 --> 00:19:28,624
that you've inscribed
on this picture
433
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,835
hits the pentagram.
434
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:33,337
You consider those to be interesting spots, correct?
435
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:35,214
-Corjan: Yes. -Chris: Absolutely. Yes, sir.
436
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:36,674
We felt that these were important places
437
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,134
to take a look at.
438
00:19:38,219 --> 00:19:39,802
Uh, can you guys send me
what's on the screen,
439
00:19:39,888 --> 00:19:42,722
and I can calculate it based on
today's presentation?
440
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:44,182
-Absolutely.
-Perfect.
441
00:19:44,225 --> 00:19:46,601
But what are chris and corjan
expecting to find
442
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,270
-at either one of these points
on the menorah?
-That is a good question.
443
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:52,315
You know, is there supposed to
be an obvious stone?
444
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,526
It would at least have to be
a man-made feature,
445
00:19:55,612 --> 00:19:57,361
which could serve as a, uh,
446
00:19:57,405 --> 00:19:59,655
as a placement marker
or something.
447
00:19:59,741 --> 00:20:01,782
Okay, I get it, then.
We can do that.
448
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:05,203
Marty: Chris and corjan's work is significant enough
449
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:07,830
and well done enough that we are absolutely
450
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:09,165
going to go check out their spots.
451
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,876
Any dig on oak island
is worth doing.
452
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:13,544
And in this case,
it's well worth doing.
453
00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:16,672
Chris, corjan, you know,
we have immense gratitude
454
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:18,674
for all the work you've put in.
455
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,718
-Yeah.
-Really, really appreciate it.
456
00:20:20,762 --> 00:20:22,386
-Thank you so much, rick.
-Thank you.
457
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:24,972
-Marty: Great. -Rick: You take care. Stay safe.
458
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:26,224
-Steve g.: See you, guys. -Doug: Bye, gentlemen.
459
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:31,562
-Marty: Billy. Steve. -Billy: Morning.
460
00:20:31,606 --> 00:20:33,397
-Hey, guys.
-Hey, steve. Hey, bill.
461
00:20:33,483 --> 00:20:36,150
-Got it all. Pinned?
-I've got the location
scouted out with billy.
462
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:38,110
-Marty: Don't tell us.
-I'm not gonna say anything
463
00:20:38,196 --> 00:20:39,987
other than we've cleared a path
for us to walk.
464
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:41,906
All right, let's go.
What are we waiting for?
465
00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:45,534
Narrator: After their meeting in the war room
466
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:49,163
with oak island theoristscorjan mol and chris morford...
467
00:20:49,249 --> 00:20:52,208
Steve g.:
Watch your step.
There's holes everywhere.
468
00:20:52,293 --> 00:20:53,751
Marty:
Okay, somebody call chris
and corjan
469
00:20:53,836 --> 00:20:56,879
and tell them to put an "x"
in an easier spot.
470
00:20:56,965 --> 00:20:58,631
Narrator: ...Rick and marty lagina,
471
00:20:58,716 --> 00:21:01,759
along with doug crowell, arrive at lot 11
472
00:21:01,803 --> 00:21:03,261
on the western edge of the swap
473
00:21:03,346 --> 00:21:06,389
to investigate the first of two locations
474
00:21:06,474 --> 00:21:08,432
marked as potentially importan.
475
00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:10,309
All right, guys,
based on the geometry
476
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:14,146
that chris and corjan sent me,
the spot is right in here.
477
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:16,190
Right here.
478
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:18,234
This is based on the geometry
and the coordinates.
479
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:20,111
Well, there's something here,
immediately.
480
00:21:20,154 --> 00:21:22,154
There-there's something
been dug here.
481
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,449
There's a pretty impressive
mound of rocks here.
482
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:30,413
I don't know what
to think of it.
483
00:21:30,456 --> 00:21:32,957
It's hard to see with the brush.
484
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:35,084
-So, have you...
Have you walked this?
-Not yet.
485
00:21:35,169 --> 00:21:36,585
I mean, we'd have
to get in there
486
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:37,920
and clear some of the trees out.
487
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:39,797
Where is the spot,
the exact spot?
488
00:21:39,841 --> 00:21:41,757
The exact spot is right here.
I think it's something
489
00:21:41,843 --> 00:21:44,510
we should probably investigate.
490
00:21:44,595 --> 00:21:46,429
I'd call that something.
491
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:49,765
I don't know
what to make of it.
492
00:21:49,851 --> 00:21:51,809
-That's definitely dug.
-Marty: Oh, yeah.
493
00:21:51,853 --> 00:21:55,354
Narrator: A previously dug-out feature?
494
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,607
And at the exact coordinates that researches corjan mol
495
00:21:58,693 --> 00:22:00,818
and chris morford provided the team?
496
00:22:00,862 --> 00:22:02,987
But who dug here?
497
00:22:03,031 --> 00:22:06,324
A previous searcher, or someone else?
498
00:22:06,367 --> 00:22:09,827
Could this site be connected in some way
499
00:22:09,871 --> 00:22:12,663
to the potentially ancient ax-heads
500
00:22:12,707 --> 00:22:16,751
found by gary drayton on nearby lot 32?
501
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:19,337
Doug:
It looks like
it goes back quite a ways.
502
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:20,838
Rick:
Where are we in relation
503
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:23,382
to any of the other features
here in the swamp?
504
00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:26,010
We're really close
to the paved area,
505
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:28,971
and we're really close
to the arcadia point.
506
00:22:30,475 --> 00:22:32,516
I'm going to try
and get in here a little bit
507
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,851
and see what it feels like.
508
00:22:33,936 --> 00:22:35,519
Rick:
What could this be,
509
00:22:35,605 --> 00:22:38,439
other than something that
chris and corjan are suggesting?
510
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:41,233
They brought us here, right?
And I don't...
511
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:44,528
I don't see any other feature
like this anywhere
512
00:22:44,572 --> 00:22:46,572
in close proximity
to this area, right?
513
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:47,990
So, it's unique.
514
00:22:48,076 --> 00:22:50,034
Doug:
I was expecting a boulder,
515
00:22:50,078 --> 00:22:52,703
but they said
to look for something unusual.
516
00:22:52,747 --> 00:22:54,372
-Rick: Huh.
-This is unusual.
517
00:22:54,415 --> 00:22:56,457
-This-this fits that category.
-Marty: Honestly, guys,
518
00:22:56,542 --> 00:22:59,668
it looks for all the world to me
to be the spoils from that hole.
519
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:01,670
So the question is,
why did they dig here?
520
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:04,173
Marty:
Why did they dig here? Yes.
521
00:23:04,217 --> 00:23:06,675
That's what we need to find out.
522
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:10,513
If this is a construct of some
sort, we should find that out.
523
00:23:10,598 --> 00:23:12,056
Rick:
I think we've now entered
524
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:14,850
into the realm
of unknown possibilities.
525
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:17,520
So let's let the science talk.
526
00:23:17,605 --> 00:23:19,897
Guys, we all know someone
that could probably
527
00:23:19,982 --> 00:23:21,482
test the sediments
in the bottom of that trench
528
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:23,818
and tell us how old it is.
529
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,694
-Marty: Dr. Spooner.
-Dr. Spooner.
530
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:27,988
We need to take a slow
and cautious approach to this
531
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:31,409
because if it is unique,
as chris and corjan suggest,
532
00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:33,661
we want all
the information available.
533
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:35,746
We will dig it.
534
00:23:35,790 --> 00:23:37,540
But for right now,
535
00:23:37,625 --> 00:23:40,709
steve, you're the man of the
hour, you're the man of action.
536
00:23:40,795 --> 00:23:42,628
-You've got to do what you do.
-Mm-hmm.
537
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:45,297
Take elevations,
figure out its orientation.
538
00:23:45,383 --> 00:23:47,091
Determine its relevance
to the features
539
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:49,093
-we already know about
in the swamp.
-Mm-hmm.
540
00:23:49,137 --> 00:23:51,095
And then, at some point,
we get to the bottom--
541
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:52,972
no pun intended--
of what the structure is.
542
00:23:53,057 --> 00:23:55,349
Now remember, it's not
the fellowship of the trowel.
543
00:23:55,435 --> 00:23:58,102
-(laughter)
-it's the fellowship of the dig.
544
00:23:58,146 --> 00:23:59,895
-Yeah.
-Slow and steady wins the race.
545
00:23:59,981 --> 00:24:02,273
-Wins the race.
-So...
546
00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:04,066
I think we proceed cautiously.
547
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:06,068
Maybe one time
we can find something
548
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:07,570
that somebody else
hasn't already dug into.
549
00:24:07,613 --> 00:24:09,071
-Mm-hmm.
-Steve g.: This might be it.
550
00:24:09,115 --> 00:24:11,115
I think these guys might be
on to something.
551
00:24:11,159 --> 00:24:12,950
Marty:
We got another spot.
You pinned it?
552
00:24:12,994 --> 00:24:14,660
Well, let's go look at that.
553
00:24:14,745 --> 00:24:16,245
If there's another one
of these over there,
554
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:18,456
all right, I jump
into the believer camp.
555
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:20,666
-Well, follow me.
-All right.
556
00:24:20,751 --> 00:24:24,462
Rick: The most striking thingabout the west hill location I,
557
00:24:24,547 --> 00:24:28,299
not only is there a trench,
but there's this huge mound.
558
00:24:28,342 --> 00:24:29,925
And it's... It-it is huge.
559
00:24:30,011 --> 00:24:32,136
I mean, someone took some time.
560
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:34,346
And if it was done by hand, then it truly
561
00:24:34,432 --> 00:24:37,725
took a lot of enterprise to accomplish it, so...
562
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:40,686
At some point,
these all can't be coincidences.
563
00:24:40,771 --> 00:24:44,690
Narrator: Having traveled tothe eastern edge of the swamp..
564
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:46,567
Okay, just down over here, guys.
565
00:24:46,652 --> 00:24:48,360
Narrator: ...Rick, marty and the team
566
00:24:48,446 --> 00:24:50,070
arrive at the second location
567
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:52,823
provided by chris morford and corjan mol,
568
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:56,827
sitting on the border between lots 12 and 13.
569
00:24:56,871 --> 00:24:59,288
-Here?
-Yeah, right here.
570
00:24:59,332 --> 00:25:00,372
Marty:
In that hollow right there?
571
00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:02,333
In this area, yeah, so,
572
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:04,168
-I'll go stand on it.
-Yeah, that'd be great.
573
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:10,966
Right there?
574
00:25:11,052 --> 00:25:13,886
Yup, right in this little
clearing. Right here.
575
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:16,013
Marty:
That is a little clearing,
steve. You are...
576
00:25:16,057 --> 00:25:18,474
You are truly an optimist
to call that a clearing.
577
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:20,809
It's right on the property line,
578
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:23,020
just north
of the property boundary.
579
00:25:23,064 --> 00:25:25,022
Rick:
It's curious, though.
I mean, there is a little
580
00:25:25,066 --> 00:25:28,651
mound-like feature
right through here. Right...
581
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:32,446
-Here.
-Doug: Yeah.
582
00:25:32,532 --> 00:25:35,074
The problem is, we all know
fred pushed all this,
583
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:36,951
so if there was
something here...
584
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:38,702
Marty:
Is this all the dirt
that went out there?
585
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:41,830
-Rick:
Yeah, you can see the incline.
-Marty: Oh, that was...
586
00:25:41,916 --> 00:25:43,541
-That was the old lot?
-That-that was cut and pushed.
587
00:25:43,626 --> 00:25:46,001
Marty: The east hill location of chris and corjan's
588
00:25:46,087 --> 00:25:47,753
spots they wanted us
to check out
589
00:25:47,838 --> 00:25:49,880
obviously has been disturbed.
590
00:25:49,924 --> 00:25:52,049
It looks, from the evidence on the ground,
591
00:25:52,093 --> 00:25:55,719
that fred bulldozed that area to build the peninsulas.
592
00:25:55,805 --> 00:25:58,556
Now it's possible
that it could be deeper there.
593
00:25:58,641 --> 00:26:01,392
Remember, these points,
according to chris and corjan--
594
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:04,019
they need to line up,
so whoever put them here,
595
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:05,854
put them here at the same time.
596
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:07,064
So, we'll get a lot
of information
597
00:26:07,108 --> 00:26:08,816
from the date of west hill,
598
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:10,734
and that's when
this would have been built.
599
00:26:10,778 --> 00:26:12,736
So according
to their theory so far is,
600
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:14,655
these points are a navigational
piece to something else.
601
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:18,784
Yes. All right, well, okay,
here's what I think then for...
602
00:26:18,869 --> 00:26:20,536
And anybody else can chime in,
of course,
603
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:23,622
but I think we get
dr. Spooner over there.
604
00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:26,750
Let him do the things he needs
to do before we disturb it.
605
00:26:26,836 --> 00:26:28,961
Then let's dig this thing up,
see what it is.
606
00:26:29,046 --> 00:26:32,089
All right,
I think our work here is done.
607
00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:33,924
Let's go.
608
00:26:38,681 --> 00:26:41,140
Rrator: As a new day begins
on oak island...
609
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:43,267
You the official
tree cutter, doug?
610
00:26:43,311 --> 00:26:46,228
-I guess I am today.
-(laughter)
611
00:26:46,314 --> 00:26:48,314
narrator: ...Oak island landowner tom nolan,
612
00:26:48,399 --> 00:26:50,774
the son of the late treasure hunter fred nolan,
613
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:53,736
along with steve guptill and doug crowell
614
00:26:53,821 --> 00:26:56,363
have arrived on lot 11
615
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:58,407
with geoscientist dr. Ian spooner
616
00:26:58,492 --> 00:27:02,995
to further investigate the area now known as "west hill."
617
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,705
this is our first step
to get a real date.
618
00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:07,374
-Let's go collect some data.
-Yup.
619
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:10,961
Rick: My first thought about the investigative processes
620
00:27:11,005 --> 00:27:12,755
regarding
the west hill location is
621
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,342
simply this: That dr. Spooner needs to take the lead.
622
00:27:16,427 --> 00:27:17,926
Dr. Spooner has suggested
623
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:20,346
that he take a core sample from the trench.
624
00:27:20,431 --> 00:27:23,432
Are we all antsy
625
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:25,934
to find out if there's something
really here? Of course we are.
626
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:30,606
But we need to let dr. Spooner do his interpretive work.
627
00:27:30,691 --> 00:27:31,899
So, what the hope is--
do you see all the algae
628
00:27:31,984 --> 00:27:33,734
-and goo on it?
-Mm-hmm.
629
00:27:33,819 --> 00:27:36,403
That's open water organism,
right?
630
00:27:36,489 --> 00:27:39,573
So, if that's been open for 200,
300 years, that should be
631
00:27:39,659 --> 00:27:41,450
-accumulating in the bottom.
-Mm-hmm.
632
00:27:41,494 --> 00:27:44,328
And I should get a core.
633
00:27:44,413 --> 00:27:47,706
If I got a good core, we save
it, and then I'd keep on going,
634
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:51,919
try to get a better one,
but it's not gonna be pretty.
635
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:53,754
And if I sink,
I'm gonna need help,
636
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:55,756
'cause if there's a lot
of that stuff,
637
00:27:55,841 --> 00:27:57,174
I'm not getting out on my own.
Like...
638
00:27:57,259 --> 00:27:59,259
-We'll pull you out.
-You will?
639
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:00,803
-Good.
-(laughter)
640
00:28:00,888 --> 00:28:02,971
narrator: In order
641
00:28:03,057 --> 00:28:04,848
to properly investigate the age
642
00:28:04,892 --> 00:28:06,475
of the believed man-made trenc,
643
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,978
dr. Spooner will be using a gravity corer.
644
00:28:10,064 --> 00:28:12,439
This instrument will allow him
645
00:28:12,525 --> 00:28:15,609
to carefully extract material that has collected over time
646
00:28:15,695 --> 00:28:17,986
in a perfectly isolated core sample,
647
00:28:18,072 --> 00:28:20,364
which he can then carefully analyze
648
00:28:20,408 --> 00:28:22,908
for a possible date of origin.
649
00:28:22,993 --> 00:28:24,576
Oh.
650
00:28:24,662 --> 00:28:26,203
-If you can hold on to that...
-Sure can.
651
00:28:26,247 --> 00:28:27,830
-It's got a trigger right there.
-Okay.
652
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:30,332
Ian:
Holy shoot.
653
00:28:32,461 --> 00:28:34,294
(clears throat)
it's deeper than I thought.
654
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:36,880
Oh, yeah, and it's soft.
It's very soft.
655
00:28:36,924 --> 00:28:39,591
I just basically
take this thing.
656
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:41,301
All we do is lower it down.
657
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:43,804
It's already in the sediment
right now.
658
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:45,347
-Okay.
-There.
659
00:28:45,433 --> 00:28:48,559
And then I just push it down,
push it down.
660
00:28:48,644 --> 00:28:51,478
It almost looks like that might
be full when he pulls it out,
661
00:28:51,564 --> 00:28:52,896
'cause... He's going down
quite a ways.
662
00:28:52,982 --> 00:28:54,940
-So I'm going to trigger it.
-Okay.
663
00:28:55,025 --> 00:28:56,650
And we'll just see--
this is just an experiment.
664
00:28:56,736 --> 00:28:59,069
We'll see what we come up with.
665
00:28:59,155 --> 00:29:00,404
There.
666
00:29:06,954 --> 00:29:09,246
-Well, that's a good core.
-Yeah. You filled her.
667
00:29:09,290 --> 00:29:10,956
Do you see the sediment
at the bottom?
668
00:29:11,041 --> 00:29:12,833
-Mm-hmm.
-That's good.
669
00:29:12,918 --> 00:29:14,918
The sediment only goes,
if you take a look,
670
00:29:14,962 --> 00:29:17,671
-to here, right there.
-Mm-hmm.
671
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:20,549
-So, what does that say?
-Well, we generally look at
672
00:29:20,593 --> 00:29:24,595
ten centimeters, 100 years.
It's been around for a while.
673
00:29:24,638 --> 00:29:25,888
I was pretty astounded. We all were.
674
00:29:25,973 --> 00:29:27,598
If that trench is old,
675
00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:30,476
then it's going to have
accumulated a lot of sediment.
676
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:33,562
And certainly, we came up with a lot of sediment,
677
00:29:33,647 --> 00:29:36,064
which gives an indication that
it might be older than we think.
678
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:37,775
Tom:
So, ian, do you think
the samples
679
00:29:37,818 --> 00:29:40,360
we have will give us the
information we're looking for?
680
00:29:40,446 --> 00:29:41,820
Yeah, the great thing
about coring is
681
00:29:41,906 --> 00:29:43,280
it gives us that context.
682
00:29:43,324 --> 00:29:45,073
I think where we go
from here then is,
683
00:29:45,159 --> 00:29:47,534
you've got the core samples
to study.
684
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:49,119
-Yup.
-And with your permission, tom,
685
00:29:49,163 --> 00:29:51,121
we'll kick in efforts
to drain this.
686
00:29:51,165 --> 00:29:54,583
And I'll clear off all
the lower limbs
687
00:29:54,668 --> 00:29:56,794
of these trees
so we can see the mound better,
688
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:58,253
-if you've got
no objections to that.
-No. No.
689
00:29:58,339 --> 00:30:00,047
I think that's...
That's what we should do next.
690
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:01,965
Well, I've got to head back
with those cores.
691
00:30:02,009 --> 00:30:03,550
-I got to get out of here.
-All right.
692
00:30:03,636 --> 00:30:05,010
-And are you gonna...?
-I'll carry that.
693
00:30:05,095 --> 00:30:06,720
-Ian: Thank you.
-Yeah.
694

narrator: Later that afternoon, while they await the results
697
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:19,817
of dr. Spooner's coring operation,
698
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:22,945
tom nolan joins brothers rick and marty lagina,
699
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:24,780
and other members of their team
700
00:30:24,865 --> 00:30:27,825
at the second mysterious location of interest
701
00:30:27,868 --> 00:30:32,913
sitting on the border between lots 12 and 13.
702
00:30:32,998 --> 00:30:35,666
This is the east hill location--
everybody knows that--
703
00:30:35,751 --> 00:30:37,251
chris and corjan's theory.
704
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:39,753
The thought was,
why don't we do a little dig?
705
00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:42,923
Yup. Well,
we got the spot marked.
706
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,759
-Okay, if you can get in,
that would be great.
-Yup.
707
00:30:45,845 --> 00:30:47,845
Bring the machine.
708
00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:50,806
Rick: I am grateful, this year in particular,
709
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:53,892
that tom nolan is a significant partner
710
00:30:53,978 --> 00:30:55,769
in this enterprise because
711
00:30:55,855 --> 00:30:58,522
he knows how much work
his father put
712
00:30:58,566 --> 00:31:00,899
into trying to figure out
what the swamp may mean
713
00:31:00,985 --> 00:31:02,150
in terms
of the oak island mystery.
714
00:31:02,236 --> 00:31:05,946
And tom can provide perspective
715
00:31:06,031 --> 00:31:10,659
as to, you know, why his father worked in that area.
716
00:31:10,703 --> 00:31:13,787
On a scale of one to ten, is
there gonna be something here?
717
00:31:13,873 --> 00:31:16,164
I would say a six or a seven,
718
00:31:16,250 --> 00:31:18,542
so, yeah, we got a good chance.
719
00:31:18,627 --> 00:31:21,128
Fred was interested
in this spot for some reason,
720
00:31:21,213 --> 00:31:24,339
so, I'm going to sit at a six,
I think, too.
721
00:31:28,929 --> 00:31:30,429
Marty:
Nicely done.
722
00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:32,639
Doug:
Corjan and chris--
723
00:31:32,725 --> 00:31:34,182
they're two for two
in leading us
724
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:35,934
to man-made intervention spots.
725
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:39,730
The arcadia stone. Ian spooner
believes that was manipulated
726
00:31:39,773 --> 00:31:41,106
into place, that boulder,
727
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:43,400
and the west hill,
that trench and mound.
728
00:31:43,444 --> 00:31:45,193
They've both been manipulated
by man,
729
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,821
so they're-they're two for two.
730
00:31:47,907 --> 00:31:49,781
Yeah, all right.
Let's make it three for three.
731
00:31:49,867 --> 00:31:52,200
Let's quit--
let's quit jawboning and dig.
732
00:31:52,286 --> 00:31:54,077
Okay, tom.

a flat surface on it.

Can you set that boulder
755

762
00:33:18,831 --> 00:33:21,873
where oak island theorists corjan mol and chris morford
763
00:33:21,959 --> 00:33:25,002
suggest significant clues might be found.

00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:28,672
Marty:
Great.
765
00:33:32,886 --> 00:33:34,970
One of the things they said
we might find would be a boulder
766
00:33:35,055 --> 00:33:37,806
-with-with a marking.
-With a marking.
767
00:33:37,891 --> 00:33:39,808
If there was anything on it,
768
00:33:39,893 --> 00:33:41,351
I think it'd be right here.
This side.
769
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,691
Look. It looks like
a nice big "x."
770
00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:51,028
-can you see that?
-Marty: Mm-hmm.
771
00:33:51,071 --> 00:33:53,363
-Steve g.: That's interesting.
-Yeah, it is.
772
00:33:53,449 --> 00:33:56,867

-Mm-hmm.
773
00:33:56,952 --> 00:33:58,702
Steve g.:
We need to go deeper.
774
00:33:58,746 --> 00:34:00,871
We need to be at sea level,
to make sure
775
00:34:00,956 --> 00:34:02,873
we're covering all the ground.
776
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:04,166
Can you get three more feet
out of that?
777
00:34:04,251 --> 00:34:06,668
Yeah. We can get
a little deeper. Yeah.
778
00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:08,170
Marty:
You got some digging to do.
779
00:34:08,255 --> 00:34:11,006

(snapping)
781
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:17,304
I don't know where this stuff
came from, but...
782
00:34:17,389 --> 00:34:21,141
It's the most easily dug soil
783
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:23,018
-on the entire island.
-Alex: Yeah.
784
00:34:23,103 --> 00:34:24,269
Mm-hmm.
785
00:34:24,354 --> 00:34:26,229
Well, you think this was
all pushed down by fred?
786
00:34:26,315 --> 00:34:28,815
-I think it has that feel.
-Yeah. Looks like it.
787
00:34:28,901 --> 00:34:31,860

Yeah, there's no stratigraphy.

Narrator: After locating what he believed to be
789
00:34:34,281 --> 00:34:36,239
a number of man-made stone markers
790
00:34:36,325 --> 00:34:38,867
in this area more than 40 years ago,
791
00:34:38,952 --> 00:34:42,079
the late fred nolan moved several layers of earth
792
00:34:42,164 --> 00:34:44,998
using a bulldozer in an unsuccessful attempt
793
00:34:45,084 --> 00:34:48,085
to uncover evidence of the oak island treasure.
794
00:34:49,213 --> 00:34:52,089
Is it possible that fred was close to making
795
00:34:52,132 --> 00:34:53,924
a major discovery?
796
00:34:54,009 --> 00:34:56,134
Steve g.:
If fred pushed this in,
797
00:34:56,220 --> 00:34:58,345
he would've changed
the whole landscape
798
00:34:58,430 --> 00:35:00,555
of the northern part of the
island to get this much fill.
799
00:35:01,517 --> 00:35:02,891
Rick:
He certainty believed
800
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:04,851
he was onto something.
801
00:35:04,937 --> 00:35:07,771
Just once,
it would be nice though
802
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:10,857
to make a discovery
and know exactly what it is.
803
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:11,983
Exactly.
804
00:35:12,069 --> 00:35:15,403
No gray area.
No interpretation.
805
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:17,280
-This is what it is.
-Yeah.
806
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:22,119
Doug:
The color's starting
to change down there again
807
00:35:22,204 --> 00:35:24,079
to a grayish... Black.
808
00:35:24,164 --> 00:35:25,455
That's what we want to see.
809
00:35:25,499 --> 00:35:27,082
-Alex: Yeah.
-We want to see some...
810
00:35:27,126 --> 00:35:29,543
S-something
that's not pushed in.
811
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:30,794
Right.
812
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:32,796
-(scraping)
-that sounds like a big rock.
813
00:35:43,976 --> 00:35:45,475
-Steve g.: There we go.
-Alex: Well, there's a rock.
814

(rick muttering)
815
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:51,356
-that's a big rock there.
-Mm-hmm.
816
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:55,277
Narrator: Another, even larger boulder?
817
00:35:55,362 --> 00:35:57,070
Could it have been placed ther,
818
00:35:57,156 --> 00:36:00,657
perhaps to cover something of great importance and value?
819
00:36:03,162 --> 00:36:04,161
(hissing)
820
00:36:04,246 --> 00:36:06,454
uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
821
00:36:07,791 --> 00:36:10,000
-Is that the right hydraulic?
-Rick: Yep.
822
00:36:10,085 --> 00:36:12,252
I was wondering what
I was getting sprayed with.
823
00:36:22,306 --> 00:36:23,805
I think it's the fitting.
824
00:36:23,891 --> 00:36:26,433
It's coming around
and dripping here.
825
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:28,226
Yeah, it is through there.
826
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:30,020
It's coming,
it's right in there.
827
00:36:30,105 --> 00:36:32,147
-Tom: I think we're done.
-Yep.
828
00:36:32,232 --> 00:36:35,317
Narrator: Because a hydraulic hose has completely ruptured
829
00:36:35,402 --> 00:36:36,985
on tom nolan's backhoe,
830
00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:39,112
it can no longer be operated
831
00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:42,199
to finish excavating the site, at least for now.
832
00:36:42,242 --> 00:36:45,327
Unfortunately, the team will have to wait
833
00:36:45,412 --> 00:36:48,205
until it is repaired before they can fully unearth
834
00:36:48,248 --> 00:36:50,957
the massive boulder to examine it for clues
835
00:36:51,043 --> 00:36:55,003
and also see what, if anything, lies beneath it.
836
00:36:55,088 --> 00:36:57,505
Doug:
Oak island throws you
a curveball.
837
00:36:57,549 --> 00:36:59,257
Rick:
Isn't that typical?
838
00:36:59,343 --> 00:37:01,760
You know the interesting take on that was
839
00:37:01,845 --> 00:37:03,929
we were at
the point of interest.
840
00:37:04,014 --> 00:37:07,224
We hit a large stone, the hose breaks.
841
00:37:07,267 --> 00:37:10,518
I think it's just bad luck, you know, bad timing.
842
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:13,021
But it's weird.
(chuckles)
843
00:37:13,065 --> 00:37:15,565
well, it's unfortunate
844
00:37:15,609 --> 00:37:17,692
but we'll carry on.
845
00:37:17,778 --> 00:37:19,069
Plus, there's
a big rock down there.
846
00:37:19,112 --> 00:37:20,779
-Now we're on top of it.
-Tom: Always the time.
847
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:23,031
-Always the time.
-Good job, tom.
848
00:37:23,116 --> 00:37:25,242
Well, let's see about getting
this fixed maybe, yeah?
849
00:37:27,621 --> 00:37:29,162
Rick:
Oak island, right?
850
00:37:29,248 --> 00:37:30,538

00:37:58,652 --> 00:38:03,113
of the core taken from the west hills location on lot 11.
859
00:38:03,156 --> 00:38:05,991
What-what are the dimensions
of that thing again?
860
00:38:06,076 --> 00:38:08,493
Steve g.:
It's 60 feet long, marty.
861
00:38:08,578 --> 00:38:12,455
15 feet wide
and it's got almost four feet
862
00:38:12,541 --> 00:38:16,835
of elevation-- so it's
3,600 cubic feet of volume.
863
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,629
Oh, love it, love it...
864
00:38:19,673 --> 00:38:21,798
So, what-- describe this thing.
865
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:24,175
I mean, what-what is this?
866
00:38:24,261 --> 00:38:27,887
So my perspective on the thing
is that, uh, it's definitive.
867
00:38:27,973 --> 00:38:31,224
That it's a disturbed
and manipulated site.
868
00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:34,811
And I think
we all agreed on that.
869
00:38:34,855 --> 00:38:37,564
It is 100% man-made.
870
00:38:37,649 --> 00:38:41,067
There is no two ways about it,
somebody did some excavation
871
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:44,529
work there of some kind.
872
00:38:44,614 --> 00:38:45,947
Marty:
Wow.
873
00:38:46,033 --> 00:38:47,866
This is all exciting stuff.
874
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:49,993
Amazing thing to me
is something that size
875
00:38:50,037 --> 00:38:52,454
remained hidden with all
the scrutiny that's been done
876
00:38:52,539 --> 00:38:53,580
-on that island.
-Yeah.
877
00:38:53,665 --> 00:38:54,831
Ian:
Yeah, yeah, and so...
878
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:57,500
My main interest is,
is it old or is it young?
879
00:38:57,544 --> 00:39:00,670
Is it something from,
you know, the last century
880
00:39:00,714 --> 00:39:04,007
like the 1900s or is it
much older than that?
881
00:39:04,051 --> 00:39:06,468
My way of dating it
882
00:39:06,553 --> 00:39:10,096
is looking at sediment
accumulation in the core.
883
00:39:10,182 --> 00:39:11,639
And there's
a good 30 centimeters
884
00:39:11,683 --> 00:39:13,099
of sediment in the core.
885
00:39:13,185 --> 00:39:14,476
And that tells me
that we're looking
886
00:39:14,561 --> 00:39:16,144
at something that is
887
00:39:16,229 --> 00:39:17,896
probably at least
three centuries old.
888
00:39:17,981 --> 00:39:19,356
Wow.
889
00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:23,109
Narrator: The mysterious feature on lot 11?
890
00:39:23,195 --> 00:39:25,487
At least three centuries old?
891
00:39:25,572 --> 00:39:28,865
Is it possible that this site is, in fact,
892
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,576
connected to the other man-made workings
893
00:39:31,661 --> 00:39:36,039
that have been found in the swamp and on lot 15?
894
00:39:36,083 --> 00:39:38,416
And, if so, could it also have
895
00:39:38,502 --> 00:39:41,002
a connection to the original money pit?
896
00:39:42,255 --> 00:39:45,173
Rick: Certainly, someone or some ones went
897
00:39:45,258 --> 00:39:47,467
to a large effort to dig this.
898
00:39:47,552 --> 00:39:49,594
The hope is that
we'll come to an understanding
899
00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:51,679
as to what its purpose was.
900
00:39:51,765 --> 00:39:54,140
Wait till we dig that up.
901
00:39:54,226 --> 00:39:55,558
(laughter)
902
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:56,976
jack: Well, this is a huge chance
903
00:39:57,062 --> 00:39:59,145
to find something really,
really, really old.
904
00:39:59,231 --> 00:40:00,522
Yeah.
905
00:40:00,607 --> 00:40:02,482
Ian:
This is a major, major feature.
906
00:40:02,567 --> 00:40:03,983
I mean, what I'm advocating for
907
00:40:04,027 --> 00:40:06,820
is, uh, try to get a mini
excavator, something in there,
908
00:40:06,905 --> 00:40:10,031
put a trench across the feature.
909
00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:12,826
We were also chatting about
possibly draining the trench.
910
00:40:12,911 --> 00:40:14,577
Yeah, see what's
at the bottom of it.
911
00:40:14,621 --> 00:40:15,578
See what's at the bottom.
912
00:40:15,664 --> 00:40:16,830
That's great.
913
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:18,164
Rick:
My thought about this is...
914
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:20,834
It's a huge construct.
915
00:40:20,919 --> 00:40:23,044
And I think we've got, you know,
916
00:40:23,130 --> 00:40:25,630
the proper people
to-to look into it.
917
00:40:25,715 --> 00:40:29,175
And it-it's quite a recipe
for perhaps an aha moment.
918
00:40:29,261 --> 00:40:30,844
Well, 2020 is shaping up to be
919
00:40:30,929 --> 00:40:32,595
the year where things
come out of the woodwork.
920
00:40:32,681 --> 00:40:34,347
Rick:
I say we're about to be
921
00:40:34,433 --> 00:40:36,891
woken up to the real mystery
of oak island.
922
00:40:36,977 --> 00:40:38,518
Marty: Great. Good report.
923
00:40:38,603 --> 00:40:41,020
Ian: See you guys.
924
00:40:42,649 --> 00:40:45,608
Narrator: For rick, marty and the oak island team,
925
00:40:45,694 --> 00:40:48,069
the new discoveries made on either side
926
00:40:48,113 --> 00:40:50,363
of the triangle-shaped swamp
927
00:40:50,449 --> 00:40:53,116
are only adding evidence to the fact
928
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,662
that the truthbehind the 225-year-old mystery
929
00:40:57,747 --> 00:41:02,250
is more complex than anyone ever knew.
930
00:41:02,335 --> 00:41:06,254
But as they continue toinvestigate the mysterious sits
931
00:41:06,339 --> 00:41:08,923
that now span the entire islan,
932
00:41:09,009 --> 00:41:11,634
just what will they find?
933
00:41:11,678 --> 00:41:13,970
A priceless religious treasure?
934
00:41:14,055 --> 00:41:16,931
A vault filled with gold and jewels?
935
00:41:17,017 --> 00:41:20,059
Or will they find that those who buried it
936
00:41:20,145 --> 00:41:24,147
made sure it could only be found at a great cost?
937
00:41:24,191 --> 00:41:27,066
A cost that they may not
938
00:41:27,152 --> 00:41:29,611
be prepared to pay?
939
00:41:33,909 --> 00:41:37,076
Next time on
the curse of oak island...
940
00:41:37,162 --> 00:41:38,328
-(horn honks)
-charles: Here they come.
941
00:41:38,371 --> 00:41:40,580
-Seems like old times.
-Yep.
942
00:41:40,665 --> 00:41:43,041
-Look at that.
-We're back to the possibility
943
00:41:43,126 --> 00:41:44,751
that the treasure hunt's
been going on a lot
944
00:41:44,836 --> 00:41:46,336
longer than we ever imagined.
945
00:41:46,379 --> 00:41:48,171
We will find something.
I'm positive.
946
00:41:48,256 --> 00:41:49,756
Lot faster than I thought.
947
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:51,925
The anchors is
actually a bit of a clue.
948
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:55,345
-Marty: Wow.
-It's almost like there is a
master plan to these features.
949
00:41:55,388 --> 00:41:56,679
Steve g.:
Take a look at that.
950
00:41:56,723 --> 00:41:58,223
Gary:
Do you see markings on the rock?
951
00:41:58,308 --> 00:41:59,933
Marty: Well, there's
something going on here.
952
00:42:00,018 --> 00:42:01,684
That's the anchor stone.
I can buy that.
953
