1
00:00:01,419 --> 00:00:03,293
Narrator: Tonight on
the curse of oak island...
2
00:00:03,379 --> 00:00:05,295
What type of things
would this be used for?
3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:09,383
Why put a ringbolt
in a rock here?
4
00:00:09,468 --> 00:00:11,343
Working with block and tackles,
heavy cargo,
5
00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:12,386
-heavy stuff.
-Right.
6
00:00:12,471 --> 00:00:13,303
Gary:
Ooh.
7
00:00:13,389 --> 00:00:15,222
That's nice. Musket decoration.
8
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,307
-It might speak to wealth.
-Yeah.
9
00:00:17,393 --> 00:00:19,101
Rick:
Which way do you think
10
00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:20,185
we should chase this?
11
00:00:20,271 --> 00:00:21,145
Everything is telling me
12
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:22,354
it's turning up
to the money pit.
13
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,564
-That's great.
-Terry: Wow.
14
00:00:23,649 --> 00:00:24,606
Look at this.
15
00:00:24,692 --> 00:00:26,150
Terry:
It's exactly what we hoped for.
16
00:00:26,235 --> 00:00:27,276
We're heading to the money pit.
17
00:00:30,531 --> 00:00:34,241
Narrator: There is an island in the north atlantic
18
00:00:34,326 --> 00:00:37,619
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
19
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:41,081
for more than 200 years.
20
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:44,084
So far, they have found a stone slab
21
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:46,670
with strange symbols carved into it,
22
00:00:46,756 --> 00:00:49,506
mysterious fragments of human bone,
23
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:53,385
and a lead cross whose origin may stretch back
24
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:55,804
to the days of the knights templar.
25
00:00:55,890 --> 00:01:00,476
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
26
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:03,520
And, according to legend,
27
00:01:03,606 --> 00:01:06,565
one more will have to die
28
00:01:06,650 --> 00:01:10,402
before the treasure can be found.
29
00:01:22,374 --> 00:01:25,501
another historic day has begun on oak island...
30
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:29,213
-Rick: Here we are.
-...As brothers rick and marty lagina,
31
00:01:29,298 --> 00:01:31,548
along with their partner craig tester
32
00:01:31,634 --> 00:01:33,342
and members of their team,
33
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:37,179
continue searching for cluesthat they hope will soon reveal
34
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:40,641
the answers to a 225-year-old treasure mystery.
35
00:01:40,726 --> 00:01:42,684
-Rick: Let's take a look.
-Doug: Yeah.
36
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:46,271
Narrator: And in the artificially-made triangle-shaped swamp
37
00:01:46,357 --> 00:01:50,109
where a mysterious stone roadwas unearthed several weeks ago
38
00:01:50,194 --> 00:01:53,278
that may be connectedto the money pit treasure shaft,
39
00:01:53,364 --> 00:01:57,241
rick lagina is eager to sharea potentially critical discovery
40
00:01:57,326 --> 00:01:59,493
that was just made nearby
41
00:01:59,578 --> 00:02:02,746
with fellow oak island landownertom nolan.
42
00:02:02,832 --> 00:02:04,498
Rick:
How's it going, gary?
43
00:02:04,583 --> 00:02:06,250
Good.
44
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:08,544
Why-why don't you guys
come over here and,
45
00:02:08,629 --> 00:02:10,170
-show him what you found?
-Of course.
46
00:02:10,256 --> 00:02:12,297
Look at the smile on his face.
47
00:02:12,341 --> 00:02:14,675
it's a big top-pocket find,
for sure.
48
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,720
Feast your eyes on some
ancientness from the swamp.
49
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:21,306
Look at that.
50
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:23,392
You've got yourself a ringbolt.
51
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:24,726
-Gary: Yep.
-Wow.
52
00:02:24,812 --> 00:02:26,645
Gary:
Is that magnificent or what?
53
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:28,480
Tom:
Yep. That sure is.
54
00:02:28,566 --> 00:02:30,691
The fact is, your dad did have
a map that showed a ringbolt
55
00:02:30,776 --> 00:02:32,359
in this general vicinity.
56
00:02:32,444 --> 00:02:34,653
-Tom: Yeah.
-Rick: You're looking at holding
57
00:02:34,738 --> 00:02:39,283
something that your father
based a lot of his-his efforts.
58
00:02:39,368 --> 00:02:41,702
Yeah. I can imagine
if dad was here,
59
00:02:41,787 --> 00:02:43,537
he'd be quickly plotting
the location
60
00:02:43,622 --> 00:02:45,539
of this and trying to tie it
into the other ringbolts
61
00:02:45,624 --> 00:02:47,666
-to see,
"okay, where do I go now?"
-yeah.
62
00:02:48,711 --> 00:02:51,795
Narrator: Back in the early 1960s,
63
00:02:51,881 --> 00:02:54,715
tom nolan's father, the late fred nolan,
64
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,550
approached m.R. Chappell,
65
00:02:56,635 --> 00:02:58,677
who owned the eastern end of the island,
66
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:01,555
to help him excavate the fabled money pit.
67
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,850
However, when fred's offer was denied,
68
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:08,437
the determined professional surveyor purchased eight lots
69
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:12,357
across the center of oak island,including the swamp,
70
00:03:12,443 --> 00:03:16,278
and spent the next several yearsinvestigating the property
71
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:20,407
and, incredibly, made a number of compelling discoveries.
72
00:03:20,492 --> 00:03:24,578
Among them were two large iron ringbolts
73
00:03:24,663 --> 00:03:26,496
that fred found embedded in boulders
74
00:03:26,582 --> 00:03:28,832
on the eastern edge of the brackish bog.
75
00:03:28,918 --> 00:03:31,710
Believing they might have been used to anchor a ship
76
00:03:31,795 --> 00:03:36,548
within the swamp at some time, he drained the area in 1969
77
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:40,427
and was stunned to discover not only wooden scuppers
78
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:42,262
but also part of a mast
79
00:03:42,348 --> 00:03:45,015
belonging to a large sailing vessel.
80
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:48,310
This led fred to the theory that the swamp
81
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:50,270
was artificially created
82
00:03:50,356 --> 00:03:52,814
to hide the wreck of a treasure galleon.
83
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:57,569
Could this iron ringbolt,found next to the stone pathway,
84
00:03:57,655 --> 00:03:59,947
be more proof that fred nolan's suspicions
85
00:04:00,032 --> 00:04:02,699
of the swamp are true?
86
00:04:02,785 --> 00:04:04,743
It's hard to believe I've got
one of these in my hand.
87
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:07,329
And probably one
that he didn't know was here.
88
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:10,374
- Yeah.
- It's, it's quite a moment.
89
00:04:10,459 --> 00:04:12,709
Tom: And hopefully it takes us
in the right direction.
90
00:04:12,795 --> 00:04:14,836
-More questions, though, rick.
91
00:04:14,922 --> 00:04:16,255
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
92
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:17,798
--yep. Absolutely.
93
00:04:17,883 --> 00:04:19,925
Tom: Dad believed that the answers to oak island
94
00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:23,720
certainly laid in that swamp, and to be able to do
95
00:04:23,806 --> 00:04:25,389
what we're doing here today is--
96
00:04:25,474 --> 00:04:27,391
hopefully it will bring a lot of his dreams
97
00:04:27,476 --> 00:04:29,643
and aspirations to-to light.
98
00:04:29,728 --> 00:04:33,063
Carmen might be able to
enlighten us about the purpose.
99
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:34,898
-Craig: Yeah.
-You know, how old it is.
100
00:04:34,984 --> 00:04:36,566
Rick:
I think we all believe
101
00:04:36,652 --> 00:04:38,652
-it's pre-1840.
-Gary: Yeah.
102
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:40,904
And I'm c-certain we're gonna
find another ringbolt
103
00:04:40,990 --> 00:04:43,448
if we keep following this road.
104
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:45,659
This is the highway to treasure.
105
00:04:45,744 --> 00:04:48,078
- tom:
Highway to treasure.
106
00:04:48,163 --> 00:04:51,415
Narrator: While, rick, craig, tom and the team
107
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,959
continue investigating the swamp...
108
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:57,296
Scott: Well, so far, so good.
109
00:04:57,381 --> 00:04:58,922
Yeah. We had high hopes,
and so far
110
00:04:59,008 --> 00:05:00,757
-we haven't been disappointed.
-Nope.
111
00:05:00,843 --> 00:05:03,051
Narrator: ...In the money pit area,
112
00:05:03,137 --> 00:05:07,097
project manager scott barlow, charles barkhouse,
113
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:10,434
geologist terry matheson and surveyor steve guptill
114
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,312
are supervising the team's core-drilling operation
115
00:05:13,397 --> 00:05:16,315
at borehole cd 8.5,
116
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,318
a borehole where they believe that they've encountered
117
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:21,320
the so-called tupper shaft,
118
00:05:21,405 --> 00:05:24,781
a 19th century structure built by the truro company
119
00:05:24,867 --> 00:05:27,617
that reportedly sits just ten feet northwest
120
00:05:27,703 --> 00:05:29,745
of the original money pit.
121
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,789
If the team can verify the orientation
122
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:34,750
and dimensions of this shaft,
123
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:37,669
they could be one major step closer to locating
124
00:05:37,713 --> 00:05:40,088
the fabled money pit treasure vault.
125
00:05:43,719 --> 00:05:44,968
Steve g.:
53 to the bottom.
126
00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:47,095
Terry:
All right.
127
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:56,813
Scott:
It's still very soft.
128
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,648
Terry:
Yeah. This is loose.
129
00:05:58,734 --> 00:06:01,902
Well-- whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
130
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:03,403
-Look at that. Look at that.
-Hold it now.
131
00:06:03,489 --> 00:06:05,072
-And then you get
your encouragement.
-There we go.
132
00:06:05,157 --> 00:06:08,575
Terry:
So, we got wood again
at 58 feet
133
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:09,868
-and 57 feet.
-Yep.
134
00:06:09,912 --> 00:06:11,661
Terry:
And encouragement to carry on.
135
00:06:11,747 --> 00:06:13,413
-We're still in the game.
-Yep.
136
00:06:13,499 --> 00:06:15,791
Terry:
That tells us
we're awfully close.
137
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:18,668
Rick: They need to know the alignment of the shaft,
138
00:06:18,754 --> 00:06:22,047
which will then allow you
to make a very
139
00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:24,841
somewhat interpretive
u-understanding
140
00:06:24,927 --> 00:06:28,387
of the alignment of the
money pit to the tupper shaft.
141
00:06:28,472 --> 00:06:31,598
Unfortunately, again, there's no cardinal direction.
142
00:06:31,683 --> 00:06:34,393
It's incredibly critical to our efforts,
143
00:06:34,478 --> 00:06:38,021
because you could be off by as much as ten or 15 feet.
144
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:40,690
You know, guys,
one of the problems that we face
145
00:06:40,776 --> 00:06:42,901
whenever we're trying to locate
one of these early shafts
146
00:06:42,986 --> 00:06:45,070
is we don't know
the dimensions of it.
147
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:46,613
I mean, we-we know the depth,
148
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:48,657
but we don't know--
was it a ten-by-ten?
149
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:49,741
Was it an eight-by-eight?
150
00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:51,868
Are they square?
Are they rectangle?
151
00:06:51,954 --> 00:06:53,203
We don't know that.
152
00:06:53,288 --> 00:06:55,163
So, this is important
to try to figure that out.
153
00:06:55,249 --> 00:06:57,666
Terry:
That's why
the truest information
154
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,751
you can get
is usually at the bottom.
155
00:06:59,795 --> 00:07:02,796
And we'll have more information
to try and determine
156
00:07:02,881 --> 00:07:04,923
where the heck all these shafts
are and how far they are
157
00:07:05,008 --> 00:07:07,175
-from the money pit.
-Yeah.
158
00:07:07,261 --> 00:07:09,469
Terry:
So, we got some good stuff
going on here.
159
00:07:09,555 --> 00:07:11,138
Charles:
Yeah.
160
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:13,974
Narrator: While the core-drilling operation continues
161
00:07:14,059 --> 00:07:15,976
in the money pit area,
162
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:19,020
over on the eastern end of oak island...
163
00:07:19,106 --> 00:07:20,647
Marty: Wow, laird.
164
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:22,649
- You've been busy.
165
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:24,901
-whoa.
-We're trying.
166
00:07:24,987 --> 00:07:27,988
Narrator: ...Marty lagina arrives on lot 25,
167
00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:30,615
where archaeologists laird niven and liz michels
168
00:07:30,659 --> 00:07:33,702
are conducting an ongoing excavation
169
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,913
of the 19th century property that once belonged
170
00:07:36,999 --> 00:07:40,000
to former american slave turned wealthy landowner
171
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:41,877
samuel ball.
172
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:45,464
Although he was known to be a hardworking cabbage farmer
173
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:49,759
shortly after buying this single lot back in 1786,
174
00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:53,763
what is unknown is how mr. Ballbecame wealthy enough
175
00:07:53,849 --> 00:07:56,516
to eventually own nine lots on oak island
176
00:07:56,602 --> 00:07:58,477
as well as several more on the mainland
177
00:07:58,562 --> 00:08:02,230
by the time of his death in 1846.
178
00:08:02,316 --> 00:08:07,277
One possible explanation wasprinted in the 1870 publication
179
00:08:07,362 --> 00:08:10,614
known as "the history of the county of lunenburg,"
180
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:13,283
in which samuel ball is listed
181
00:08:13,368 --> 00:08:15,494
as one of the three young men
182
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:20,290
who first discovered the money pit in 1795.
183
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:21,625
Here's the question:
184
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:25,253
Nothing to link him somehow
to a treasure find?
185
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:30,800
The biggest questions surround
"why a cellar this big," right?
186
00:08:30,886 --> 00:08:34,054
But it may be that he needed
to stockpile stuff in here.
187
00:08:34,139 --> 00:08:36,306
Well, he grew wealthy
through hard work
188
00:08:36,391 --> 00:08:38,183
and doing the right thing...
189
00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:40,018
-Yeah.
-...And not being cowed
by adversity.
190
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:41,770
-That's clear.
-Yeah. Yeah.
191
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:44,064
But he might also have...
got lucky.
192
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:46,316
-Yeah.
-So, what are
the next steps here?
193
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:49,528
Well, we're gonna finish
cleaning this out
194
00:08:49,613 --> 00:08:51,780
and then probably excavate it
out in quadrants
195
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:53,990
to see what's underneath.
196
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:55,075
I'm keenly interested in this.
197
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,535
-Yeah.
-Okay.
198
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:57,619
-All right.
-Carry on.
199
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:58,787
Marty:
Stay with it.
200
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:00,789
- I'm gonna go get gary.
-Good idea.
201
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,750
Marty: This looks like a fairly substantial house.
202
00:09:03,835 --> 00:09:08,338
Indications that samuel ball was one very successful man.
203
00:09:08,423 --> 00:09:11,007
But did some of his wealth come
204
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:13,176
from discoveries on oak island?
205
00:09:13,262 --> 00:09:15,804
Narrator: Although the foundation and surrounding area
206
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:19,808
is a protected heritage sitein the province of nova scotia,
207
00:09:19,893 --> 00:09:23,019
because laird niven and liz michels are present
208
00:09:23,105 --> 00:09:26,565
and able to superviseany disturbance of the grounds,
209
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:29,985
gary drayton has official permission to metal-detect
210
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,654
for any important clues.
211
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:34,948
Marty: Let's go find
something good, gary.
212
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:36,992
Yep.
213
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:45,792
-that sounds nice.
-Yeah.
214
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:48,837
And it is just there
to the side of the tree.
215
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,755
Marty:
Yes.
216
00:09:57,389 --> 00:09:59,431
You might have got it out.
217
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,226
Yeah, you have.
218
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:06,229
Let's see what we've got.
219
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:13,903
It's in my hand.
220
00:10:13,989 --> 00:10:16,114
Ooh, look at that.
221
00:10:20,829 --> 00:10:22,787
Gary: Let's see what we got.
222
00:10:23,999 --> 00:10:26,249
And we are looking
223
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:28,585
at a little pocketknife.
224
00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:29,961
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
225
00:10:30,005 --> 00:10:31,755
Narrator: On lot 25,
226
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,798
near the foundation of the house
227
00:10:33,884 --> 00:10:36,176
that once belonged to samuel ball,
228
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:40,639
metal detection expert gary drayton and marty lagina
229
00:10:40,724 --> 00:10:43,892
have just found what could be an important discovery.
230
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,811
Marty:
I'd say that's copper
or something.
231
00:10:46,855 --> 00:10:49,230
Gary:
Yeah. The ends are copper.
That's why we detected it.
232
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:51,107
Marty:
They don't make them out
of that anymore, do they?
233
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:52,192
Gary:
Not so much.
234
00:10:52,277 --> 00:10:53,985
Yeah. It looks like half
235
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:55,654
-of a pocketknife.
-Yeah.
236
00:10:55,697 --> 00:10:58,323
And the blade must
still be in there.
237
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:01,743
Marty: That looks like a fine gentleman's pocketknife.
238
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,829
So, you know, we're hoping that it's valuable.
239
00:11:04,873 --> 00:11:07,999
And I think samuel ball was just
a highly successful man,
240
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:12,629
and he may have had some things we're unaware of.
241
00:11:12,673 --> 00:11:15,340
Well, we'll see
what it looks like
242
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:17,008
-when it's cleaned up.
Nice little find.
-Cleaned up.
243
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:19,886
Gary:
This is a great start.
It really is.
244
00:11:19,971 --> 00:11:21,137
Marty:
It's an excellent start.
245
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:22,722
-Yeah. Let's keep going.
-Yeah.
246
00:11:22,808 --> 00:11:23,640
Marty:
I'm excited. Let's go
247
00:11:23,725 --> 00:11:25,016
-find some more stuff.
-Yep.
248
00:11:29,272 --> 00:11:30,271
Not so good.
249
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:31,773
Yeah. That doesn't sound
as good to me.
250
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:32,982
Gary:
No.
251
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:37,696
marty: That sounds good to me.
252
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:38,863
That sounds good.
253
00:11:41,326 --> 00:11:43,034
just there.
254
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:52,377
Here we go.
255
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:02,512
We're on it.
256
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:10,061
I feel something there.
257
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:12,897
Yeah, that's nice.
258
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:14,065
What is it? A badge?
259
00:12:14,109 --> 00:12:15,900
No. It's not a badge, mate.
260
00:12:15,986 --> 00:12:21,156
Yeah. To me, that looks
like musket decoration.
261
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:22,365
Like you found
with samuel ball on it?
262
00:12:22,451 --> 00:12:23,867
Gary:
Yeah.
263
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:28,121
That might clean up and have
some kind of design on it.
264
00:12:28,206 --> 00:12:29,706
Or some letters or numbers.
265
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:30,874
Marty:
For sure it has letters on it.
266
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:31,750
-I can see.
-It has?
267
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:33,752
- Yeah.
-I was hoping.
268
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:38,423
Marty:
It says "patent."
269
00:12:38,467 --> 00:12:40,383
gary: It says "patent"?
270
00:12:40,469 --> 00:12:41,718
- Now you can see it.
-Yeah!
271
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:43,011
Look at that.
That's nice, isn't it?
272
00:12:43,054 --> 00:12:44,721
-There ain't any doubt
about that.
-Yeah.
273
00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:46,723
Narrator: A patent plate?
274
00:12:46,808 --> 00:12:50,143
Possibly from an old rifle or musket?
275
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:53,438
During the 17th and 18th centuries,
276
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:56,024
as firearm technology advanced
277
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,193
in europe and colonial north america,
278
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:02,405
manufacturers placed engraved"patent" plates on their muskets
279
00:13:02,491 --> 00:13:04,115
as a way of protecting the ownership
280
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:06,284
of any unique innovations,
281
00:13:06,328 --> 00:13:10,955
such as the firing mechanism or the weapon's design.
282
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:13,792
Similar to a maker's mark, a patent plate
283
00:13:13,835 --> 00:13:18,004
could help reveal whenand where an artifact was made,
284
00:13:18,089 --> 00:13:23,968
as well as possibly identify who it once belonged to.
285
00:13:24,012 --> 00:13:26,471
What do you think, gary?
How old is that?
286
00:13:26,515 --> 00:13:28,807
Gary:
With that design,
the way it's got that nice
287
00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:30,892
old-style lettering,
288
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:33,478
I'd say that's period,
mate, for this lot.
289
00:13:33,522 --> 00:13:37,106
1790. 1830s.
Samuel ball era.
290
00:13:37,192 --> 00:13:38,775
Yeah. I think it's period.
291
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:40,026
Gary:
Yeah.
292
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:42,028
Marty: I'd bet a lot
that was on a firearm.
293
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:44,948
It could've easily have
been on the, the stock.
294
00:13:45,033 --> 00:13:46,741
-Yeah.
-Or the butt.
295
00:13:46,827 --> 00:13:49,953
Maybe that's the way to look
for whatever this is.
296
00:13:49,996 --> 00:13:51,830
-That's what I would do.
I would start with guns.
-Guns, yeah.
297
00:13:51,873 --> 00:13:54,415
Probably british armaments.
298
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:56,000
-Gary: Yeah.
-I mean, if you find out that
299
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:58,211
that was some kind of
nice shooting firearm,
300
00:13:58,296 --> 00:14:01,089
-it might speak to wealth.
-Yeah.
301
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:04,801
Marty: The little "patent" thing was really exciting, because
302
00:14:04,845 --> 00:14:07,136
I view it as
yet another indication
303
00:14:07,222 --> 00:14:10,431
that samuel ball had
a fair amount of wealth.
304
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:12,517
Gary, partner,
let's put it in the bag.
305
00:14:12,561 --> 00:14:14,811
-Yep.
-And we'll go onto, hopefully,
306
00:14:14,896 --> 00:14:16,062
-bigger and better things.
-Yeah.
307
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:18,147
And we'll tell laird about this.
308
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:19,858
Marty: Yeah. Cheers, mate.
309
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:22,068
-Gary: We found some cool stuff.-Marty: Yeah.
310
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:26,030
Narrator: While marty and gary continue searching on lot 25...
311
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:27,991
Charles: Here we are.
312
00:14:28,076 --> 00:14:30,827
Narrator: ...Approximately 50 miles north of oak island,
313
00:14:30,912 --> 00:14:33,788
jack begley, tom nolan
314
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:35,999
and oak island historian charles barkhouse
315
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:38,293
arrive at northville farm...
316
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:40,879
Charles:
Hey, carmen.
317
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:43,047
...Where they are eager to show blacksmithing expert
318
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:45,383
carmen legge the iron ringbolt
319
00:14:45,427 --> 00:14:48,052
that was found in the swamp one week ago.
320
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:50,805
How you doing?
321
00:14:50,891 --> 00:14:52,557
Okay.
322
00:14:52,601 --> 00:14:54,851
Jack: Charles and I brought
along a new face for you.
323
00:14:54,895 --> 00:14:56,060
-Hi, carmen. Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
324
00:14:56,104 --> 00:14:57,937
-Tom nolan.
-Yeah. Good.
325
00:14:58,982 --> 00:15:01,900
Charles: Well, you can tell us
what you think that is.
326
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:14,412
-Okay.
-Carmen: Um...
327
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:24,088
-Really?
-Yeah.
328
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:32,597
Is this specifically
made for wood?
329
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,101
Okay.
330
00:15:39,648 --> 00:15:41,940
The ones we have pictures of
on the island,
331
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,024
that were in the boulders,
332
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,567
seemed to be a little bigger
than that.
333
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:48,321
-Okay.
-Yes. Yes.
334
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:50,448
Jack:
You'd call it a wharf
335
00:15:50,492 --> 00:15:51,950
or an anchor pin?
336
00:15:52,035 --> 00:15:54,285
What-what type of things
would this be used for?
337
00:15:58,166 --> 00:15:59,415
Do you see that line
right there?
338
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:01,167
Narrator: Earlier this year,
339
00:16:01,252 --> 00:16:03,628
while conducting a sonar scan of the waters
340
00:16:03,672 --> 00:16:07,131
just off of the south shore, bordering the swamp,
341
00:16:07,175 --> 00:16:10,134
alex lagina, diver tony sampson
342
00:16:10,178 --> 00:16:12,387
and geoscientist dr. Ian spooner
343
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:15,223
detected what appeared to be the remains
344
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:18,643
of a mysterious square-shaped rock structure.
345
00:16:18,687 --> 00:16:20,979
Ian:
This might be evidence
of a human-made structure.
346
00:16:21,064 --> 00:16:23,481
The remnants of an old wharf.
Something like that.
347
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,110
Narrator: And one week later,
348
00:16:27,195 --> 00:16:30,488
tony conducted a dive wherehe confirmed that the formation
349
00:16:30,532 --> 00:16:33,116
was not a natural feature.
350
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,411
Alex:
Welcome back. Did you find
the square structure?
351
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,246
Tony:
Um, there were rocks
in a square,
352
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:42,333
but maybe the remains
of an old cribbed wharf.
353
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:46,504
Narrator: Is it possible that this ringbolt
354
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:49,340
is connected to the potential ship's wharf,
355
00:16:49,426 --> 00:16:51,968
as well as the stone-paved pathway
356
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:54,554
recently discovered within the swamp?
357
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:58,975
And could it also explain the 200-foot-long anomaly
358
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:02,687
that the team detected usingseismic scanning two years ago,
359
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:07,191
which eerily resembled the shapeof a large galleon ship?
360
00:17:07,277 --> 00:17:10,528
We found it right along
that roadway.
361
00:17:10,572 --> 00:17:12,363
-Yeah.
-In that southeast corner
362
00:17:12,407 --> 00:17:16,034
dr. Spooner dated as being
a possible wharf.
363
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:19,620
So, you know, based upon
the structure, this is fitting.
364
00:17:19,706 --> 00:17:23,207
This isn't the first ringbolt
we've recovered on the island.
365
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:26,461
My dad found at least three,
366
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:29,714
but, I mean, one was found
along the swamp.
367
00:17:29,758 --> 00:17:31,716
Not terribly far from that one.
368
00:17:41,269 --> 00:17:42,393
Wow.
369
00:17:45,607 --> 00:17:46,731
That gives it away?
370
00:17:48,109 --> 00:17:49,525
The date and-and the usage?
371
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,120
Jack:
What's the earliest date that
372
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,206
you could date
work like this back to?
373
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:13,508
Charles:
It definitely predates
374
00:18:13,593 --> 00:18:15,760
the known discovery of the,
of the money pit.
375
00:18:17,722 --> 00:18:19,180
Charles: To me, it's quite significant
376
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:20,640
finding that pin
377
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,350
on the stone road
378
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,727
and the fact that carmen
believes it's from a wharf.
379
00:18:24,813 --> 00:18:27,313
I mean, that just
springs to mind
380
00:18:27,398 --> 00:18:28,648
a number of theories
381
00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:31,234
based on the fact that the swamp
382
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:34,237
on the eastern side could have been a cove at one time.
383
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:37,281
And a treasure ship or shipscould have been brought in there
384
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:38,699
and off-loaded.
385
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:40,743
Well, thank you very much,
carmen.
386
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:43,329
It's always a pleasure.
387
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:46,040
well, we love to show it to you.
388
00:18:46,126 --> 00:18:47,625
-We'll try to keep
digging it up.
-Yeah.
389
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:49,085
We'll be back soon.
390
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:50,628
-Thank you very much.
-Take care.
391
00:18:50,713 --> 00:18:52,755
Jack: That was successful.
392
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:57,552
Charles: Yeah. Absolutely.
393
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:58,970
Charles: Hi, guys.
394
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:00,054
Rick:
Welcome back.
395
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:01,305
Here comes the true believer.
396
00:19:01,391 --> 00:19:03,975
Narrator: After returning from their meeting
397
00:19:04,018 --> 00:19:06,018
with blacksmithing expert carmen legge,
398
00:19:06,104 --> 00:19:09,397
tom nolan and charles barkhousejoin rick
399
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:12,275
and marty lagina, along with doug crowell,
400
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,986
to share the report on the iron ringbolt
401
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:16,612
discovered in the swamp.
402
00:19:16,698 --> 00:19:18,364
This is exciting.
403
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:23,161
Carmen was very impressed
with this.
404
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:25,246
I'm impressed with that, too.
405
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,664
This is not a pin that
would go in granite.
406
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:28,833
This is a pin that
would go in a wharf.
407
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:32,003
-Marty: Why the split?
-Tom: So it doesn't pull out.
408
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:34,422
-Charles: Yeah.
-Tom: Do that at the other end,
and that way it locks it
409
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:35,631
-into the timber.
-And he said
410
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:39,093
they stopped doing this in 1760.
411
00:19:39,179 --> 00:19:41,095
Here.
412
00:19:41,181 --> 00:19:44,557
Marty:
And you're telling me
the youngest this could be
413
00:19:44,642 --> 00:19:45,975
is 1760?
414
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:48,019
But he said 1600s.
415
00:19:48,062 --> 00:19:50,021
Charles:
Yeah. 1600s to 1760.
416
00:19:50,064 --> 00:19:51,105
Wow.
417
00:19:51,191 --> 00:19:54,734
So, begs the question:
Was that dropped
418
00:19:54,819 --> 00:19:57,403
in the swamp,
or did all the wood rot away?
419
00:19:57,488 --> 00:19:59,113
-That didn't float in.
-Tom: No.
420
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:01,324
-We can be sure of that.
-Yes.
421
00:20:01,409 --> 00:20:05,369
The fact that it's splayed
suggests it was used. Right?
422
00:20:05,413 --> 00:20:06,454
It wasn't just dropped.
423
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:07,705
Rick:
Either way,
424
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:09,665
it was found on top
of the stone feature.
425
00:20:09,751 --> 00:20:11,250
Doug:
Do you know what
that suggests to us?
426
00:20:11,336 --> 00:20:14,295
That stone pathway
was falling out of use
427
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:16,214
in at least 1760, because
428
00:20:16,299 --> 00:20:18,174
soil started to accumulate
on top of it, right?
429
00:20:18,259 --> 00:20:20,593
-Yeah.
-Yep. That's true.
430
00:20:20,678 --> 00:20:22,595
So, that means that
stone pathway was...
431
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,430
-Rick: Predates that.
-Yeah. Predates that.
432
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:25,640
Yep.
433
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:27,391
Narrator: Is it possible,
434
00:20:27,435 --> 00:20:30,561
as oak island historian doug crowell is suggesting,
435
00:20:30,605 --> 00:20:33,814
that the iron ringbolt could actually predate
436
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:37,526
the discovery of the money pit by as much as two centuries?
437
00:20:37,612 --> 00:20:40,404
If so, could it also be a key
438
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:43,741
to dating the stone pathway it was found on?
439
00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:47,286
As well as what the pathway's purpose was?
440
00:20:47,372 --> 00:20:50,706
What comes to mind for
this ringbolt, its function,
441
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:53,334
is that there could have been a-a wooden wharf
442
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:56,128
in what was then an inlet from the sea.
443
00:20:56,214 --> 00:20:57,755
Certainly deep enough for a vessel
444
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,590
that goes back and forth to the big ship.
445
00:20:59,676 --> 00:21:01,592
This thing could have been driven into it
446
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:03,344
and it would be an anchor point.
447
00:21:03,429 --> 00:21:05,346
So...
448
00:21:05,431 --> 00:21:07,807
Highly intriguing and old.
449
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:11,644
I mean, that fits what
we were hoping for the swamp.
450
00:21:11,729 --> 00:21:13,646
And maybe helps explain
the road.
451
00:21:13,731 --> 00:21:15,564
And also is exciting
in terms of,
452
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:17,358
okay, what are you
off-loading here?
453
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:19,527
-And where were they taking it?
-Yeah.
454
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:20,861
We're gonna follow that thing
455
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:22,196
-and find out.
-Charles: Yeah.
456
00:21:22,282 --> 00:21:23,364
Rick:
What would your father say?
457
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:29,161
Tom:
This all sort of fits in
with his theory.
458
00:21:29,247 --> 00:21:31,414
I'm not just sure what
he would have thought of it.
459
00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:34,709
Except that, "I told you so."
460
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,627
--there you go.
461
00:21:36,671 --> 00:21:38,754
I-I'm gonna kinda
say that myself.
462
00:21:40,842 --> 00:21:42,300
marty:
All right, well...
463
00:21:42,343 --> 00:21:45,720
As much as it's a beautiful day
to sit right here, isn't it?
464
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:47,263
-There's work to do.
-There's work to be done.
465
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,098
There's work to do. Yeah. Okay.
466
00:21:49,183 --> 00:21:50,766
Let's do it, then.
467
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:52,560
Charles:
Yeah.
468
00:21:56,357 --> 00:21:58,399
Narrator: Later that afternoon...
469
00:21:58,484 --> 00:22:00,443
Terry: We're gonna carry on to 110, easily.
470
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:02,445
-All right?
-Sounds good.
471
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:06,741
...While the drilling operationcontinues in the money pit area,
472
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:10,411
in the uplands nearthe eastern border of the swamp,
473
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:14,373
archaeologists dr. Aaron taylorand miriam amirault
474
00:22:14,459 --> 00:22:16,709
continue their efforts
475
00:22:16,794 --> 00:22:19,837
to track the path of the massive stone feature.
476
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:22,798
So, if we can get these
cleared off.
477
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:26,177
-
- And hopefully see
where the road ends.
478
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:29,764
And then maybe it'll tell us
where it starts to turn up.
479
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:31,515
Yeah.
480
00:22:32,894 --> 00:22:34,477
If you find any stones
481
00:22:34,562 --> 00:22:35,936
that don't look
like they're in place,
482
00:22:36,022 --> 00:22:39,565
like this, this blue slate...
483
00:22:39,650 --> 00:22:42,443
Does that just look
out of place to you?
484
00:22:43,738 --> 00:22:45,363
Yeah. Maybe a bit.
485
00:22:47,408 --> 00:22:48,532
Hey, craig!
486
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:49,575
Yo!
487
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:51,452
Aaron:
Can I bother you for a second?
488
00:22:51,537 --> 00:22:52,370
Sure.
489
00:22:52,455 --> 00:22:53,954
-Let's go have a look.
-Yep.
490
00:22:55,249 --> 00:22:56,832
Look at that.
491
00:22:56,918 --> 00:22:57,833
Hey, guys.
492
00:22:57,919 --> 00:22:59,126
-Hey.
-Good day.
493
00:22:59,212 --> 00:23:01,337
This is the area
where the ringbolt was found.
494
00:23:02,924 --> 00:23:05,633
So, I came down
on this blue-y slate
495
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:07,218
that looks out of place.
496
00:23:07,261 --> 00:23:08,803
It doesn't look like
it really belongs there.
497
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:10,846
And if you come closer...
498
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:14,558
To me, that just looks
like it's been pecked
499
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:18,437
or a circular piece
has been punched out of it.
500
00:23:18,523 --> 00:23:20,856
I don't know,
but it doesn't look natural.
501
00:23:20,942 --> 00:23:23,484
But why don't we
get dr. Spooner over
502
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:26,404
and see if he can explain.
503
00:23:26,489 --> 00:23:27,863
You know,
maybe there's a natural process.
504
00:23:27,949 --> 00:23:29,740
It just looks
too human-made to me.
505
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:31,534
Okay.
506
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:34,370
Dr. Spooner, you come over
and take a look at something?
507
00:23:34,455 --> 00:23:35,996
On my way.
508
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:38,791
What do you got?
509
00:23:38,876 --> 00:23:41,669
I came to this slate and, to
me, it just looks out of place.
510
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:43,212
-Right.
-And it's got
511
00:23:43,297 --> 00:23:46,340
an unusual circular piece.
512
00:23:46,426 --> 00:23:48,342
You can take it right out.
That'd be fine.
513
00:23:51,597 --> 00:23:54,473
-Right.
-Does that look natural?
514
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,350
Ian:
Let me pick up
my little whisk here.
515
00:23:57,937 --> 00:24:00,604
Well, you know,
with the ringbolt being here
516
00:24:00,648 --> 00:24:02,898
and then this circular feature,
517
00:24:02,984 --> 00:24:06,569
it doesn't quite look
like what I'd expect.
518
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:10,406
To me, usually
when these rocks break,
519
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:12,074
it's just an edge like
that, but to,
520
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,617
to have that little indent,
521
00:24:13,703 --> 00:24:15,453
is kind of, kind of odd.
522
00:24:15,538 --> 00:24:18,664
We should take a look at these
stones a little more carefully,
523
00:24:18,749 --> 00:24:20,541
see if there's any attempt
to make a hole
524
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:22,251
-in any of these stones, but...
-Yeah.
525
00:24:22,336 --> 00:24:23,919
The question begs,
526
00:24:24,005 --> 00:24:29,550
why put a ringbolt in a rock,
in a hole, here?
527
00:24:29,635 --> 00:24:32,303
I think it suggests working
with block and tackles.
528
00:24:32,346 --> 00:24:33,929
Or, you know,
it's like heavy cargo.
529
00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:35,473
-Heavy, heavy stuff. Right?
-Right.
530
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:37,558
I can buy it
if this was just, you know,
531
00:24:37,643 --> 00:24:39,018
Sunday groceries
coming down the road here,
532
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:40,352
-you don't need ringbolts.
-Billy: Yeah.
533
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:44,690
Narrator: Although this ringbolt found in this area
534
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:46,525
is believed to have once been embedded
535
00:24:46,611 --> 00:24:47,943
in a wooden ship's wharf,
536
00:24:48,029 --> 00:24:50,863
is it possible that this piece of slate
537
00:24:50,948 --> 00:24:52,907
was connected to the other ringbolts
538
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:56,744
found several decades ago in this area by fred nolan?
539
00:24:56,829 --> 00:24:59,788
Ringbolts that were embedded in rocks.
540
00:24:59,874 --> 00:25:02,666
And if so, could they have been
541
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:04,585
part of a chain and pulley system--
542
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:06,837
as billy gerhardt is suggesting--
543
00:25:06,881 --> 00:25:09,965
to haul some kind of heavy cargo or chest
544
00:25:10,009 --> 00:25:13,969
out of the swamp and along this stone pathway?
545
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:15,679
Given all those facts,
546
00:25:15,723 --> 00:25:18,849
that the road appears
to be turning upland,
547
00:25:18,935 --> 00:25:20,809
you have the ringbolt...
548
00:25:20,895 --> 00:25:23,103
It could be some sort of support
549
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:25,314
for a pulley system
550
00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:27,858
or a way to assist in hauling
551
00:25:27,902 --> 00:25:29,944
large cartloads of something.
552
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:32,446
It's too early to tell.
553
00:25:32,532 --> 00:25:35,032
Ian:
It's unequivocal
we've got a road--
554
00:25:35,076 --> 00:25:37,660
and a road built to last.
555
00:25:37,703 --> 00:25:39,328
It's really
quite a nice little road.
556
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:40,621
-Yeah.
-Ian: Yeah.
557
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:42,915
All hidden under swamp.
558
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,500
And why?
559
00:25:44,585 --> 00:25:47,378
To me, it's a big problem
that needs to be solved.
560
00:25:47,463 --> 00:25:48,712
-Aaron: Well,
I'll take this down...
-Okay, I'll...
561
00:25:48,798 --> 00:25:50,381
...And see what's
going on there.
562
00:25:50,424 --> 00:25:51,882
Okay. Good.
563
00:25:51,968 --> 00:26:00,224
Aaron: We'll see what's in store for us.
564
00:26:00,268 --> 00:26:03,269
Narrator: Another dayhas begun on oak island,
565
00:26:03,354 --> 00:26:06,272
and near the eastern border of the swamp...
566
00:26:06,357 --> 00:26:08,482
-Hey, bill.
-Hey, rick.
567
00:26:08,568 --> 00:26:10,734
-Rick: You've made
some progress, I see.
-Yep.
568
00:26:10,778 --> 00:26:12,820
...Rick lagina and craig tester
569
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:16,240
have just been alerted by billy gerhardt
570
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:18,909
to another potentially important discovery
571
00:26:18,953 --> 00:26:22,871
that he believes may beconnected to the stone pathway.
572
00:26:23,958 --> 00:26:25,749
It's got to be good news
573
00:26:25,793 --> 00:26:28,919
- with billy using that shovel.
574
00:26:28,963 --> 00:26:31,797
yeah, trying to figure out
what's going on here.
575
00:26:31,882 --> 00:26:33,757
And? Your thoughts?
576
00:26:33,801 --> 00:26:37,636
Well, we thought it might be
end of the road.
577
00:26:37,722 --> 00:26:39,346
But just in the last
few buckets, again,
578
00:26:39,432 --> 00:26:40,347
it's starting
to get a little bit interesting.
579
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:42,600
-We got this high rock.
-Right.
580
00:26:42,643 --> 00:26:44,935
And we got a rock right there
in front of you.
581
00:26:47,106 --> 00:26:49,356
At first, we just thought
it was all jumble,
582
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:51,025
so we dug
a little test hole here,
583
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:52,985
but look in the test hole.
We got cobbles.
584
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:55,446
Craig:
That's a rock down there, too?
Cobble?
585
00:26:56,866 --> 00:26:57,990
We have cobble here.
586
00:26:58,075 --> 00:27:00,492
This is the base of the cobble
right there.
587
00:27:00,578 --> 00:27:02,578
Billy:
So, it looks pretty
suspiciously like the road.
588
00:27:02,622 --> 00:27:04,997
But if this is a turn,
589
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:08,417
well, then, we have to try
to figure out what's going on.
590
00:27:08,461 --> 00:27:11,629
Narrator: Another possible section of the stone pathway
591
00:27:11,714 --> 00:27:15,049
running alongthe eastern border of the swamp?
592
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:18,761
If so, just how far does it extend...
593
00:27:18,846 --> 00:27:20,804
And where is it leading?
594
00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:22,097
Rick:
Hey, gary.
595
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:23,849
Gary: I was standing here,
596
00:27:23,934 --> 00:27:25,976
looking where this road leads.
597
00:27:26,062 --> 00:27:29,355
It seems to be winding
towards that direction.
598
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,564
Uphill to the money pit?
599
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:31,815
Yeah.
600
00:27:31,859 --> 00:27:34,401
Narrator: The stone pathway
601
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:36,737
possibly turning in a new direction...
602
00:27:36,822 --> 00:27:37,863
Toward the money pit?
603
00:27:37,948 --> 00:27:41,742
If so, could it actually lead the team
604
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:45,496
to the location of the fabled treasure vault?
605
00:27:48,459 --> 00:27:50,459
-Hey, steve.
-Steve g.: Hey, guys.
606
00:27:50,503 --> 00:27:52,544
-Hey, aaron.
-Hey.
607
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:56,590
Well, if we can take elevations
off of these boulders here.
608
00:27:56,676 --> 00:27:57,675
Steve g.:
Sure.
609
00:28:03,891 --> 00:28:06,058
This is about two feet
above sea level.
610
00:28:06,143 --> 00:28:09,561
So, I would say,
based on elevation,
611
00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:10,813
that this is
part of the roadway.
612
00:28:12,066 --> 00:28:12,940
But what about that?
613
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:15,943
All right, so...
614
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:18,779
Wow.
615
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:20,739
Yeah. This is all organic.
616
00:28:20,825 --> 00:28:24,576
So, these stones were placed
into this organic material.
617
00:28:24,662 --> 00:28:27,621
Then you've got these...
618
00:28:27,707 --> 00:28:29,873
These pieces of wood
at the bottom,
619
00:28:29,959 --> 00:28:34,169
which is what we're finding
in the other stone features.
620
00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:36,839
So, they put
these pieces of wood down
621
00:28:36,882 --> 00:28:39,675
as a matting
and then put the stone on top.
622
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,719
So it's definitely man-made,
aaron?
623
00:28:41,804 --> 00:28:43,178
I would say so. Yes.
624
00:28:43,222 --> 00:28:45,723
Rick:
Let's assume this is a road.
625
00:28:45,766 --> 00:28:47,891
We're almost to
that decision point, though.
626
00:28:47,977 --> 00:28:51,478
Whether we turn left,
turn right, or go straight.
627
00:28:51,564 --> 00:28:54,148
Which way do you think
we should chase this?
628
00:28:54,233 --> 00:28:56,734
Straight ahead
to some unknown location
629
00:28:56,777 --> 00:28:58,861
or uphill
to the money pit, possibly?
630
00:28:58,946 --> 00:29:01,280
Everything's telling me
it's turning up.
631
00:29:02,450 --> 00:29:05,576
Rick: That has always been the thought,
632
00:29:05,661 --> 00:29:08,579
that this was just
633
00:29:08,622 --> 00:29:10,539
a easier way
to get to the money pit
634
00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:12,499
with an extremely heavy load.
635
00:29:12,585 --> 00:29:15,169
Um... Is that being
borne out here? I don't know.
636
00:29:15,254 --> 00:29:16,754
Is that wood?
637
00:29:16,797 --> 00:29:18,005
I would say so. Yes.
638
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,173
Rick: I think there's hope
639
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:20,966
that we're finally gonna
640
00:29:21,051 --> 00:29:22,634
further the understanding
641
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,886
of the purpose of this road.
642
00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:25,137
Billy:
Well, I think we've got
643
00:29:25,181 --> 00:29:27,765
about six or eight more feet
to take this.
644
00:29:27,808 --> 00:29:30,142
The logical way is to keep going
the way we're going,
645
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:31,894
because if it's
a turn in the road,
646
00:29:31,979 --> 00:29:33,145
we should find it soon.
647
00:29:33,189 --> 00:29:35,689
We ain't never getting
out of here, are we?
648
00:29:37,109 --> 00:29:39,860
narrator: While rick lagina and craig tester
649
00:29:39,945 --> 00:29:41,862
continue to oversee the investigation
650
00:29:41,947 --> 00:29:44,198
of the stone pathway near the swamp...
651
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:47,826
-Terry: It's 98 at the bottom.
-Charles: 98.
652
00:29:47,912 --> 00:29:49,703
...Steve guptill has joined
653
00:29:49,789 --> 00:29:52,748
charles barkhouse and geologist terry matheson
654
00:29:52,833 --> 00:29:54,750
in the money pit area
655
00:29:54,794 --> 00:29:57,002
as they have now drilled to a depth of nearly 100 feet
656
00:29:57,087 --> 00:30:00,506
in borehole cd 8.5.
657
00:30:00,591 --> 00:30:03,008
A borehole that has intercepted
658
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:04,134
what they believe could be
659
00:30:04,220 --> 00:30:06,303
a 19th century searchers' structure
660
00:30:06,347 --> 00:30:08,138
known as the tupper shaft,
661
00:30:08,182 --> 00:30:10,849
which was built just ten feet northwest
662
00:30:10,935 --> 00:30:12,935
of the original money pit.
663
00:30:14,021 --> 00:30:15,813
Terry:
That's damn loose.
664
00:30:17,274 --> 00:30:18,690
Steve g.:
This is what's interesting.
665
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:21,109
-Yeah.
-We have wood right there.
666
00:30:21,195 --> 00:30:22,569
Yeah. Lots of wood.
667
00:30:22,655 --> 00:30:23,904
Yeah.
668
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:26,782
steve g.:
Hey, scott.
669
00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:27,866
-Guys.
-Charles: We got wood, scott.
670
00:30:27,952 --> 00:30:29,159
I like the look of that.
671
00:30:29,245 --> 00:30:31,662
There's where our faith came in
to stick with it.
672
00:30:31,705 --> 00:30:33,705
-Steve g.: Yeah. Always does.
-Charles: Yeah.
673
00:30:33,791 --> 00:30:35,999
Scott:
You know, we should see
the bottom of the shaft
674
00:30:36,085 --> 00:30:37,668
if we are in the tupper shaft,
675
00:30:37,711 --> 00:30:40,546
because that bottom few feet
is usually in place.
676
00:30:40,631 --> 00:30:41,880
That'll really help us
pinpoint the dimensions of
677
00:30:41,966 --> 00:30:43,632
where that wall sits.
678
00:30:43,717 --> 00:30:44,758
It's gonna tell us a lot.
679
00:30:44,802 --> 00:30:46,260
Narrator: It is the team's hope
680
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:48,637
to verify the orientation of the shaft
681
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:52,140
so that they will know whichdirection to move the drill rig
682
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:54,351
and, with any luck,
683
00:30:54,395 --> 00:30:56,061
locate the fabled treasure vault
684
00:30:56,146 --> 00:30:59,064
that has eluded searchers for more than two centuries.
685
00:30:59,149 --> 00:31:02,276
-What do we got?
-103 and a half.
686
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:04,611
103 and a half. You guys got us
a beam by the look of it.
687
00:31:04,697 --> 00:31:07,197
That looks like a piece of wood
or something, right there.
688
00:31:07,283 --> 00:31:10,367
Geez. My lordy.
689
00:31:10,411 --> 00:31:14,830
So, we got some
good information from mike.
690
00:31:14,915 --> 00:31:17,332
103.5. He thinks he's out.
691
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:18,959
Terry:
Okay. Well, that would--
692
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:21,044
that would be about where
we thought the bottom was.
693
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:22,713
And we might be out
of the bottom here.
694
00:31:22,756 --> 00:31:25,632
That's a great beam.
695
00:31:25,718 --> 00:31:26,842
Scott:
Yeah. We have lots of wood.
696
00:31:26,927 --> 00:31:27,759
Steve g.:
Yeah. We're still in wood.
697
00:31:27,845 --> 00:31:30,637
Terry:
There's the ax cut there.
698
00:31:30,723 --> 00:31:32,806
There's the wood grain.
699
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:36,268
And the ax cut is there
and back that way.
700
00:31:36,353 --> 00:31:39,229
That ridge is where they cut.
701
00:31:39,315 --> 00:31:41,064
-Charles: That's hand-hewn.
-Steve g.: We've got a side,
702
00:31:41,150 --> 00:31:43,066
we've got a wall
and we've got a floor.
703
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:45,736
-Hey, rick.
-Rick: Hey, steve.
704
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:48,572
I've heard,
it's pretty exciting up here.
705
00:31:48,657 --> 00:31:51,909
Well, we're-- we were successful
in the first hole.
706
00:31:51,952 --> 00:31:54,661
Charles:
That's a vertical piece
of wood right there.
707
00:31:54,747 --> 00:31:56,288
That's a timber.
708
00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:58,749
You can see where
that was cut by an ax, right?
709
00:31:58,792 --> 00:32:00,834
The dip in it here?
710
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,045
-Rick: Wow.
-That's hand-hewn lumber.
711
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,759
Rick:
That is incredible.
712
00:32:08,844 --> 00:32:10,093
Look at this.
713
00:32:10,137 --> 00:32:15,557
That's fantastic.
714
00:32:15,643 --> 00:32:16,850
Terry: That's a really interesting piece.
715
00:32:16,936 --> 00:32:19,269
So close to the bottom.
716
00:32:19,313 --> 00:32:21,605
Narrator: While drilling in the money pit area,
717
00:32:21,649 --> 00:32:24,608
rick lagina and members of the oak island team
718
00:32:24,693 --> 00:32:26,610
believe they have obtained evidence
719
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:28,612
of a 19th century searcher shaft
720
00:32:28,697 --> 00:32:31,114
that could help point them in the direction
721
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,284
where the fabled treasure vaultmay be located.
722
00:32:34,328 --> 00:32:38,956
Rick: We believe we have delineated the wall of the tupper shaft,
723
00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:42,125
but it's critically important to try to find
724
00:32:42,211 --> 00:32:44,169
the proper orientation of the tupper shaft,
725
00:32:44,254 --> 00:32:49,216
because that's the informationthat we're hopeful will lead us
726
00:32:49,301 --> 00:32:51,927
to what they found,
I.E., the original money pit.
727
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:53,929
Steve g.:
So, our last hole, rick,
728
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:56,598
-we've just come out of cd 8.5.
-Yeah.
729
00:32:56,684 --> 00:32:59,101
Steve g.:
And based on what we're seeing,
it looks like we might be going
730
00:32:59,186 --> 00:33:00,310
right down
the center of a shaft.
731
00:33:02,022 --> 00:33:03,313
We-we think now...
732
00:33:04,775 --> 00:33:06,608
...So if this is a wall,
733
00:33:06,694 --> 00:33:09,820
then-then the money pit would
have to be over here or here.
734
00:33:09,863 --> 00:33:12,656
Because this is relatively
not investigated.
735
00:33:14,702 --> 00:33:17,661
How confident are you that
the orientation is this way?
736
00:33:17,705 --> 00:33:20,163
Steve g.:
That's the next step.
737
00:33:20,207 --> 00:33:22,416
This-this hole we're in
should really help us
738
00:33:22,501 --> 00:33:25,002
confirm or deny
this orientation.
739
00:33:26,046 --> 00:33:28,714
Rick:
My thought would be, we need
740
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:31,008
all the information possible
to really be certain
741
00:33:31,051 --> 00:33:33,301
of the orientation of that.
742
00:33:34,179 --> 00:33:36,805
Let's just see
what another rod looks like.
743
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:39,850
If you can define two walls,
you're good.
744
00:33:39,893 --> 00:33:41,977
-You're golden. Right?
-Charles: Yeah.
745
00:33:42,062 --> 00:33:43,854
Well, that's the decision.
746
00:33:43,897 --> 00:33:46,148
End of day, we'll know
exactly where we are.
747
00:33:46,233 --> 00:33:49,151
-Yep.
-And then we'll make a decision
based on that information.
748
00:33:49,194 --> 00:33:51,028
Terry:
That'd be great.
749
00:33:51,071 --> 00:33:54,031
Anyway, my hat's off to you guys
for-for sticking with it.
750
00:33:56,076 --> 00:33:58,452
-Good luck.
-All right. See you later.
751
00:33:58,537 --> 00:34:01,038
Charles: Okay. We got our marching orders.
752
00:34:06,795 --> 00:34:08,170
Narrator: The following morning,
753
00:34:08,255 --> 00:34:10,380
just as drilling gets underway
754
00:34:10,424 --> 00:34:13,508
in a new borehole dubbed bc 8.5...
755
00:34:15,512 --> 00:34:18,055
Rick: Well, gentlemen, this is...
756
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:20,390
Probably one of the most
important meetings of the year.
757
00:34:20,476 --> 00:34:23,226
Narrator: ...Oak island historian doug crowell
758
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:26,188
has requested a meeting with rick, marty, craig
759
00:34:26,273 --> 00:34:28,231
and members of the team
760
00:34:28,275 --> 00:34:30,358
after making an important discovery
761
00:34:30,444 --> 00:34:33,028
in the files of the late dan blankenship,
762
00:34:33,072 --> 00:34:35,906
which he believes could becritical to the continued search
763
00:34:35,991 --> 00:34:39,367
for the location of the original money pit.
764
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:41,912
But a decision has to be made,
765
00:34:41,955 --> 00:34:43,872
and I think
it has to be made today.
766
00:34:43,916 --> 00:34:46,041
So, there's some new information
767
00:34:46,085 --> 00:34:47,709
that doug has found
in dan's files
768
00:34:47,753 --> 00:34:49,503
regarding the money pit.
769
00:34:49,588 --> 00:34:53,840
So, with that, I'm gonna
turn it over to doug,
770
00:34:53,926 --> 00:34:58,011
and then we'll have a discussion
about what we do next.
771
00:34:58,097 --> 00:35:00,222
So, I'm gonna share
a presentation here with you.
772
00:35:00,265 --> 00:35:04,226
We've been compiling the data
from the historical record.
773
00:35:04,311 --> 00:35:06,311
Craig's drilling has revealed
that the tupper shaft
774
00:35:06,396 --> 00:35:08,146
sits right about here.
775
00:35:08,232 --> 00:35:10,440
It should be contained
within that circle.
776
00:35:10,526 --> 00:35:13,735
This shows the caisson oc-1.
777
00:35:13,821 --> 00:35:15,904
It was between those two shafts
that we were pretty sure
778
00:35:15,948 --> 00:35:17,531
the original money pit must set.
779
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:20,784
Which would mean that
the money pit would be here.
780
00:35:23,497 --> 00:35:26,289
And what we know
about that area is
781
00:35:26,333 --> 00:35:29,960
that this is where
we found the wood dated 1706.
782
00:35:30,003 --> 00:35:31,294
The oldest wood
that we've brought up
783
00:35:31,338 --> 00:35:32,379
out of the money pit so far.
784
00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:38,135
Narrator: Last year, while drilling the borehole known as oc-1,
785
00:35:38,178 --> 00:35:40,720
the team obtained evidence of a wooden tunnel
786
00:35:40,806 --> 00:35:46,143
some 150 feet underground that was dated to 1706,
787
00:35:46,186 --> 00:35:49,354
nearly 90 years beforethe discovery of the money pit.
788
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:52,816
This find led the oak island team to believe
789
00:35:52,860 --> 00:35:54,317
that the original treasure shaft
790
00:35:54,403 --> 00:35:56,236
and the fabled vault
791
00:35:56,321 --> 00:35:59,906
would most likely be located in that area.
792
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:02,325
Doug:
I think we would have
been hard-pressed
793
00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:04,286
for someone to convince us
that we didn't find
794
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:06,329
the original zone
for the money pit.
795
00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:10,333
But we have some diagrams
from the 1890s,
796
00:36:10,419 --> 00:36:13,128
and this revealed
the tupper shaft in relation
797
00:36:13,213 --> 00:36:15,839
to the money pit that they were
working in at the time.
798
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,884
"a" is the tupper shaft.
799
00:36:18,969 --> 00:36:21,595
And the money pit is over here.
800
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,849
This is kind of exciting because
being able to delineate it
801
00:36:25,893 --> 00:36:28,935
has given us a whole new place
to look for the money pit.
802
00:36:29,021 --> 00:36:32,147
We've been looking to the east
of the tupper shaft.
803
00:36:32,191 --> 00:36:36,067
And that diagram suggests that
the money pit's to the west.
804
00:36:36,153 --> 00:36:37,527
Wow.
805
00:36:44,203 --> 00:36:45,535
T
we wouldn't even know
806
00:36:45,579 --> 00:36:47,621
where the hell the money pit is
after all those holes?
807
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:49,623
Yeah.
808
00:36:49,708 --> 00:36:51,208
Steve g.:
I mean, we've put in
809
00:36:51,293 --> 00:36:54,044
close to 400 holes
since I've been here, and...
810
00:36:54,129 --> 00:36:56,171
-God.
-...That's sonic holes.
811
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:57,756
Marty: It would explain a lot if we have been
812
00:36:57,841 --> 00:36:59,758
- looking in the wrong spot.
813
00:37:00,636 --> 00:37:02,594
rick: The troubling thing is,
814
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:06,640
is it possible
that for 200 years,
815
00:37:06,725 --> 00:37:11,603
people have not looked in thecorrect area for the money pit?
816
00:37:11,688 --> 00:37:13,396
Marty: The historical records
817
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,565
that we're using to try
and refine our search
818
00:37:15,651 --> 00:37:18,360
for the money pit are the same sort of thing
819
00:37:18,445 --> 00:37:19,569
that happens all over oak island.
820
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,696
They're great, they're very helpful,
821
00:37:21,782 --> 00:37:23,573
and they're maddeningly difficult
822
00:37:23,617 --> 00:37:25,242
and perhaps inaccurate.
823
00:37:25,327 --> 00:37:28,536
And so, we're trying to weed out
what's useful and what isn't
824
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:30,705
by trial and error, I guess.
825
00:37:30,791 --> 00:37:33,500
Alex: Well, what's the decision?
826
00:37:35,796 --> 00:37:37,462
I'd be willing
to sacrifice a shot
827
00:37:37,547 --> 00:37:40,257
at the eastern location
to be confident
828
00:37:40,300 --> 00:37:43,260
that we fully explored the western location.
829
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:45,428
-Right.
-So, my vote's
830
00:37:45,472 --> 00:37:47,180
to go for the site on the west.
831
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:49,015
Do we only have time for one?
832
00:37:49,101 --> 00:37:50,558
We don't have a ton
of time left.
833
00:37:50,644 --> 00:37:53,561
-I'd go for both.
-Scott: We have
to start somewhere,
834
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:55,355
so we need a priority.
835
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,691
-Okay, west.
836
00:38:00,487 --> 00:38:03,029
doug:
And the interesting thing
is, c-1,
837
00:38:03,115 --> 00:38:05,657
if that's where
the money pit actually is,
838
00:38:05,742 --> 00:38:09,077
c-1 did present
that shiny gold object.
839
00:38:09,162 --> 00:38:12,706
C-1 hit some shaft and it could
be part of the money pit.
840
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:14,124
Yeah.
841
00:38:14,167 --> 00:38:16,376
So, I like the west side.
842
00:38:17,671 --> 00:38:19,796
Narrator: Ever since rick, marty,
843
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,133
craig and the team first drilled borehole c-1
844
00:38:23,176 --> 00:38:25,593
five years ago at the suggestion
845
00:38:25,679 --> 00:38:28,555
of oak island historian charles barkhouse,
846
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,725
it has remained a tantalizing mystery.
847
00:38:34,521 --> 00:38:36,354
Narrator:Not only did it encounter a void
848
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,482
measuring some 20 feet deep by ten feet wide...
849
00:38:39,568 --> 00:38:41,318
Craig:
Here we go.
850
00:38:41,403 --> 00:38:43,778
...But when cameras have been placed down inside,
851
00:38:43,864 --> 00:38:47,157
three different gold-colored objects have been seen
852
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,825
embedded in the walls.
853
00:38:48,869 --> 00:38:51,619
Charles:
It looks metallic.
The hell is that?
854
00:38:53,623 --> 00:38:56,499
Narrator: Although numerous dive operations over the years
855
00:38:56,543 --> 00:38:58,752
have failed to determine just what they are...
856
00:38:58,837 --> 00:39:00,337
Dave:
Going down.
857
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:01,838
Narrator: ...Is it possible
858
00:39:01,882 --> 00:39:03,798
that the information doug crowell has found
859
00:39:03,884 --> 00:39:05,633
means that c-1 might be connected
860
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,678
to the original money pit after all?
861
00:39:10,974 --> 00:39:12,682
Marty: Okay, well, rick, you haven't said anything.
862
00:39:12,726 --> 00:39:13,850
You want to do the west?
863
00:39:13,894 --> 00:39:15,769
Yeah. Yep.
864
00:39:15,854 --> 00:39:18,730
You have to go west. You have
to chase the historical context.
865
00:39:18,815 --> 00:39:20,190
Yes.
866
00:39:20,233 --> 00:39:22,192
-Otherwise, why are we here?
-Yeah.
867
00:39:22,277 --> 00:39:23,485
Scott:
One ace in the hole
868
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:25,695
we may have is, we know
there was a shaft in c-1.
869
00:39:25,739 --> 00:39:27,822
-Yes.
-Marty: That's about
870
00:39:27,908 --> 00:39:29,657
as most enthused
I've heard you, man.
871
00:39:29,743 --> 00:39:31,576
Scott:
Everybody is very optimistic
and excited about this.
872
00:39:31,661 --> 00:39:34,621
So hopefully it leads
to something good.
873
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:36,331
Marty: Well, there you have it.
874
00:39:36,416 --> 00:39:38,833
So, it's just a matter
of establishing a grid
875
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:41,169
and, putting steel downhole.
876
00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:42,796
The question is,
877
00:39:42,881 --> 00:39:44,172
where is the money pit?
878
00:39:44,257 --> 00:39:45,465
That has always been
the question
879
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:49,260
regarding any of the work
over the last 225 years.
880
00:39:49,346 --> 00:39:52,013
I mean, we've drilled exhaustively.
881
00:39:52,099 --> 00:39:54,224
It's almost a foregone conclusion
882
00:39:54,309 --> 00:39:57,519
that we've been looking in the wrong places.
883
00:39:57,604 --> 00:39:59,270
We can't drill
the entire money pit,
884
00:39:59,356 --> 00:40:01,523
at least certainly not
this year.
885
00:40:01,608 --> 00:40:05,485
And, thus, we need to remain
focused on the c-1 location.
886
00:40:05,570 --> 00:40:06,653
Marty: Okay. I say make it so.
887
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:08,446
That's my vote.
888
00:40:08,532 --> 00:40:10,365
-Agreed.
-Yep.
889
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:12,659
-I'm in.
-I'm in.
890
00:40:12,744 --> 00:40:14,411
-Definitely.
-Yeah.
891
00:40:14,496 --> 00:40:17,247
Well, let's dig the west and
call this war room adjourned.
892
00:40:17,332 --> 00:40:18,915
Absolutely.
893
00:40:18,959 --> 00:40:20,667
Marty: All right. Thanks, guys.
894
00:40:20,752 --> 00:40:21,751
-Rick: See you. -Steve g.: See you, guys.
895
00:40:21,837 --> 00:40:23,545
Narrator: As another productive
896
00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:27,382
and surprising week comes to an end on oak island,
897
00:40:27,426 --> 00:40:31,594
rick, marty, craig and the teamremain unwavering
898
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,682
in their efforts to solve a 225-year-old mystery.
899
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:39,769
Will their new drilling strategy in the money pit
900
00:40:39,813 --> 00:40:42,939
finally help them close in on a legendary treasure vault
901
00:40:42,983 --> 00:40:46,443
that is believed to contain everything from gold,
902
00:40:46,486 --> 00:40:49,279
jewels and priceless documents
903
00:40:49,364 --> 00:40:52,782
to possibly even sacred religious artifacts?
904
00:40:52,826 --> 00:40:54,617
One thing is certain.
905
00:40:54,661 --> 00:40:58,913
They are now following a path that could soon reveal
906
00:40:58,999 --> 00:41:01,291
the ultimate secrets of this storied island
907
00:41:01,334 --> 00:41:03,042
in the north atlantic.
908
00:41:03,128 --> 00:41:06,254
The question is: Just where
909
00:41:06,339 --> 00:41:09,090
will that path lead them?
910
00:41:10,677 --> 00:41:13,636
Next time on
the curse of oak island...
911
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,472
Yeah. Look at that.
912
00:41:15,515 --> 00:41:16,890
-The top of a keg.
-Wow.
913
00:41:22,772 --> 00:41:24,439
holy schmoly.
914
00:41:24,524 --> 00:41:25,565
Marty:
Well, how about that?
915
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:27,901
Rick? Come look at this.
916
00:41:27,986 --> 00:41:29,486
-We just found this.
-Wow.
917
00:41:29,529 --> 00:41:31,529
That's the most significant
artifact we have.
918
00:41:31,615 --> 00:41:33,656
-Hey, guys.
-What do we got, gentlemen?
919
00:41:33,742 --> 00:41:34,782
Rick:
That is incredible.
920
00:41:34,868 --> 00:41:36,034
Debris field, baby.
921
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:38,745
It might actually be
the money pit.
922
00:41:38,830 --> 00:41:40,747
