1
00:00:01,875 --> 00:00:03,518
Tonight
on The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,542 --> 00:00:04,833
Wow.
3
00:00:04,917 --> 00:00:06,518
We're intersecting
what has to be tunnels.
4
00:00:06,542 --> 00:00:08,042
What the heck is this?
5
00:00:08,167 --> 00:00:10,833
We just found another
bobby-dazzler on Oak Island.
6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,333
- See that blue there?
- Yeah.
7
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:13,542
Sapphire?
8
00:00:13,708 --> 00:00:14,788
They were signed by
9
00:00:14,833 --> 00:00:16,667
La Rochefoucauld Duc d'Anville
10
00:00:16,833 --> 00:00:18,708
in Nova Scotia, near Oak Island.
11
00:00:18,833 --> 00:00:20,042
Welcome to a Templar
12
00:00:20,208 --> 00:00:22,625
- initiation chamber.
- Whoa!
13
00:00:22,750 --> 00:00:25,000
That image there
is what I believe
14
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:26,583
is portrayed on the lead cross.
15
00:00:26,708 --> 00:00:28,708
- Wow.
- Yeah.
16
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:34,458
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
17
00:00:34,542 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
18
00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:41,042
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
19
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:44,000
So far, they have
found a stone slab
20
00:00:44,083 --> 00:00:46,292
with strange symbols
carved into it...
21
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:50,458
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
22
00:00:50,542 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
23
00:00:55,083 --> 00:00:56,167
to the Knights Templar.
24
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,000
To date, six men have died
25
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:02,000
trying to solve the mystery.
26
00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:07,042
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
27
00:01:07,208 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.
28
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:24,292
Here we go.
29
00:01:31,542 --> 00:01:32,792
Thanks, Colten.
30
00:01:32,875 --> 00:01:34,667
- This is to 88.
- Holy cow!
31
00:01:37,917 --> 00:01:41,667
This till is just as Mother
Nature put it in the ground.
32
00:01:41,792 --> 00:01:43,472
Still got a little bit
of ways to go to get
33
00:01:43,542 --> 00:01:45,143
to that same horizon we
were in at the last hole.
34
00:01:45,167 --> 00:01:46,625
Right, this is it.
35
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:48,917
An exceptionally hopeful day
36
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:53,167
has begun on Oak Island for
brothers Rick and Marty Lagina
37
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:56,833
and their team as they forge
ahead in a quest to solve
38
00:01:56,958 --> 00:02:00,167
a 227-year-old treasure mystery.
39
00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:03,125
We'll see what happens when
we get down to depth here.
40
00:02:03,250 --> 00:02:06,500
We're intersecting what
has to be tunnels because
41
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:09,000
there's in situ material
above and below.
42
00:02:09,167 --> 00:02:12,500
At the storied
site known as the Money Pit,
43
00:02:12,625 --> 00:02:16,250
they are continuing their core
drilling operation at a target
44
00:02:16,375 --> 00:02:19,583
known as Borehole DN-12.5.
45
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:23,250
It is here, on their
strategic drilling grid,
46
00:02:23,375 --> 00:02:25,333
that they hope to
once again penetrate
47
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:29,458
a five-foot-high wooden
tunnel at a depth of 103 feet,
48
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:33,250
which they explored with a
camera just one week ago.
49
00:02:33,375 --> 00:02:34,708
That's really cool.
50
00:02:34,875 --> 00:02:36,018
This is a previously unknown,
51
00:02:36,042 --> 00:02:37,917
perhaps depositor, tunnel.
52
00:02:38,042 --> 00:02:39,750
That is really exciting.
53
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:44,625
- Hey, Rick.
- Hey, Paul.
54
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:47,750
Where are we right now?
55
00:02:47,875 --> 00:02:50,000
DN-12.5.
56
00:02:50,083 --> 00:02:52,625
To see if we can further
delineate this tunnel.
57
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:54,708
Wood samples from the tunnel
58
00:02:54,833 --> 00:02:57,875
have been carbon-dated
to as early as 1640,
59
00:02:58,042 --> 00:03:01,625
and during a sonar operation
also conducted last week,
60
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:04,333
the team determined
that it is heading north
61
00:03:04,458 --> 00:03:06,708
toward the so-called
Garden Shaft...
62
00:03:06,833 --> 00:03:09,625
A mysterious,
dilapidated structure
63
00:03:09,708 --> 00:03:13,042
that may date to
the early 1700s,
64
00:03:13,208 --> 00:03:15,917
and where recent water
testing has revealed
65
00:03:16,042 --> 00:03:20,375
high concentrations of gold
nearly 100 feet underground.
66
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:22,042
The sonic drill program
67
00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:24,667
is right now oriented
around the Garden Shaft
68
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:28,000
because of the gold
signatures in the water.
69
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:30,333
And there's tunnel close by it
70
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,292
at an elevation
previously unknown to us.
71
00:03:32,417 --> 00:03:34,042
Uh, we want to exploit that.
72
00:03:34,167 --> 00:03:35,333
We want to understand,
73
00:03:35,458 --> 00:03:37,167
as best we can, what's happening
74
00:03:37,292 --> 00:03:38,583
in that area.
75
00:03:38,708 --> 00:03:41,375
All right, this is gonna be 98.
76
00:03:41,542 --> 00:03:43,958
More competent material there.
77
00:03:44,042 --> 00:03:45,282
Looks like it's firming up, eh?
78
00:03:47,208 --> 00:03:49,167
- Hold on. We got wood.
- Wow.
79
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:51,833
That's in... Wow.
That's incredible.
80
00:03:51,917 --> 00:03:54,750
We had firm in place
material above that point.
81
00:03:54,875 --> 00:03:56,708
Now we have a structure.
82
00:03:56,875 --> 00:04:00,458
Wood?
Unearthed from a depth of 98 feet?
83
00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:04,667
But if so, is it part of the
tunnel that the team recently
84
00:04:04,833 --> 00:04:08,125
discovered near this
area just five feet deeper?
85
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:10,050
Whoa, what's that?
There's a little more wood.
86
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:11,500
Check that out.
87
00:04:11,625 --> 00:04:13,208
Or could it be related
88
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:16,000
to some other kind
of structure or object?
89
00:04:16,125 --> 00:04:19,375
What is most
curious is where we're at,
90
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:20,792
in front of the Garden Shaft.
91
00:04:20,917 --> 00:04:22,417
An area that has been,
92
00:04:22,542 --> 00:04:25,417
at least by our measure,
completely unexplored.
93
00:04:25,542 --> 00:04:29,083
So, what is a wooden
feature doing at that depth
94
00:04:29,208 --> 00:04:31,542
in an area previously ignored?
95
00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:34,500
I think we need to define it
a little further east and west.
96
00:04:34,667 --> 00:04:38,125
This is obviously a post
or beam from something.
97
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,476
- Yeah.
- It's another clue
98
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,750
and it's a step
in figuring it out.
99
00:04:41,875 --> 00:04:42,792
Yep.
100
00:04:42,875 --> 00:04:43,875
It's an interesting area.
101
00:04:43,958 --> 00:04:45,118
There's no question about it.
102
00:04:45,167 --> 00:04:47,000
So I think the
next step is, Craig,
103
00:04:47,125 --> 00:04:48,500
you want to get
that water sample?
104
00:04:48,667 --> 00:04:49,833
Paul, you'll work with them?
105
00:04:49,958 --> 00:04:52,000
Yes, absolutely. Yep.
106
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:53,875
To help verify
107
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,083
if this discovery might be
connected to the nearby tunnel
108
00:04:57,208 --> 00:04:58,542
or the Garden Shaft,
109
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:01,333
the team will collect
a water sample
110
00:05:01,458 --> 00:05:03,583
in order to test for the
presence of precious metals.
111
00:05:03,708 --> 00:05:05,792
I think that's the
very first thing to do.
112
00:05:07,292 --> 00:05:08,833
- Thank you, sir.
- Yep.
113
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,042
While Rick
and members of the team
114
00:05:11,208 --> 00:05:13,125
continue their work
on Oak Island...
115
00:05:18,208 --> 00:05:19,833
There's Gretchen.
116
00:05:19,917 --> 00:05:22,333
- Hi.
- Hello, Gretchen.
117
00:05:22,458 --> 00:05:24,583
Nice to see you in person.
118
00:05:24,708 --> 00:05:27,333
Approximately 2,900 miles away
119
00:05:27,458 --> 00:05:29,917
in the town of
Royston, England...
120
00:05:30,042 --> 00:05:31,375
Welcome to Royston,
121
00:05:31,542 --> 00:05:33,917
the home of the Royston Cave.
122
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:36,750
Marty Lagina,
along with his son Alex
123
00:05:36,875 --> 00:05:40,125
and Oak Island historian
Charles Barkhouse,
124
00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:43,875
are meeting with author and
researcher Gretchen Cornwall.
125
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,500
We've got a Roman road
126
00:05:45,625 --> 00:05:47,958
going north-south,
right out of London.
127
00:05:48,083 --> 00:05:51,042
Gretchen has
invited them to visit Royston Cave,
128
00:05:51,208 --> 00:05:53,417
which some researchers believe
129
00:05:53,542 --> 00:05:56,667
once served as a sacred
meeting place for members
130
00:05:56,792 --> 00:05:59,750
of the Knights Templar...
The medieval Christian order
131
00:05:59,875 --> 00:06:01,667
who are speculated
to have buried
132
00:06:01,792 --> 00:06:03,875
priceless religious
treasures on Oak Island
133
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,792
between the 12th
and 14th centuries.
134
00:06:07,917 --> 00:06:10,917
As you know, I've been studying
the Templars for many years.
135
00:06:11,042 --> 00:06:12,667
- Yes.
- And I think
136
00:06:12,750 --> 00:06:18,042
this location is
critical to their memory
137
00:06:18,208 --> 00:06:21,417
and to the connection
to Oak Island,
138
00:06:21,542 --> 00:06:25,458
and I would like to show you
the symbology in Royston Cave.
139
00:06:25,542 --> 00:06:27,434
- Let's go have a look at it. -Let's take a look.
- Yes. Absolutely.
140
00:06:27,458 --> 00:06:29,333
Founded in 1184,
141
00:06:29,458 --> 00:06:31,208
the town of Royston
142
00:06:31,375 --> 00:06:33,500
is located in an area
143
00:06:33,583 --> 00:06:36,000
that was not only once
part of the Roman Empire...
144
00:06:36,125 --> 00:06:38,101
- So it's just through here.
- Oh.
145
00:06:38,125 --> 00:06:41,292
But is also in a
region that later served
146
00:06:41,417 --> 00:06:43,167
as a stronghold for
the Knights Templar
147
00:06:43,333 --> 00:06:45,083
between the 12th
and 14th centuries.
148
00:06:45,208 --> 00:06:46,583
Mind your head.
149
00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:48,309
I would not have
suspected this, would you?
150
00:06:48,333 --> 00:06:49,583
Careful.
151
00:06:51,167 --> 00:06:52,208
Wow.
152
00:06:52,375 --> 00:06:53,833
Although the date
153
00:06:53,958 --> 00:06:55,750
of Royston Cave's
original construction
154
00:06:55,875 --> 00:07:00,875
is unknown, most agree
it dates to medieval times.
155
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,875
- Wow. This is really cool.
- It really is.
156
00:07:04,042 --> 00:07:07,833
Its existence
was first documented in 1742,
157
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,292
when a secret entrance
158
00:07:09,375 --> 00:07:11,250
was discovered
during construction
159
00:07:11,375 --> 00:07:13,042
in the town's marketplace,
160
00:07:13,208 --> 00:07:16,750
and today it serves as
a major tourist attraction
161
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:20,167
due to its believed connection
to the Templar Order.
162
00:07:20,292 --> 00:07:22,625
- This entrance is very cool.
- Yeah.
163
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:23,917
Whoa!
164
00:07:25,917 --> 00:07:29,083
Welcome to a Templar
initiation chamber.
165
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:37,500
Wow.
166
00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:43,750
First impression
when we get in the cave
167
00:07:43,875 --> 00:07:46,042
is that there's more
to this than I thought.
168
00:07:47,375 --> 00:07:50,333
You look around in this cave,
and there's carvings everywhere.
169
00:07:50,458 --> 00:07:52,792
It's really quite,
quite amazing.
170
00:07:54,042 --> 00:07:56,458
The size of it is
incredible for something that,
171
00:07:56,583 --> 00:07:57,809
I assume, was
dug by hand, right?
172
00:07:57,833 --> 00:08:00,958
Yes. Absolutely. Dug by hand.
173
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,000
Like Oak Island.
174
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:06,958
Good point.
175
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:10,333
Gretchen,
this place is obviously
176
00:08:10,417 --> 00:08:11,768
- super cool and interesting.
- Yep.
177
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:13,472
Why don't you just give
us some background?
178
00:08:13,542 --> 00:08:14,875
Well...
179
00:08:15,042 --> 00:08:18,042
there are some
people who believe this
180
00:08:18,167 --> 00:08:22,083
is a secret Templar
initiation chamber.
181
00:08:24,583 --> 00:08:27,500
My theory is, is
that there was a little
182
00:08:27,667 --> 00:08:29,625
structure above here
183
00:08:29,708 --> 00:08:35,000
and that it was
disguised as a market stall
184
00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:38,625
to hide the activity here.
185
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:40,559
So what you would have done is,
you would have come down here,
186
00:08:40,583 --> 00:08:43,083
then you would have
come down a small ladder.
187
00:08:43,208 --> 00:08:45,542
And, of course, this
would have been very dark.
188
00:08:45,667 --> 00:08:49,125
So you would have been
taken through with a candle.
189
00:08:50,917 --> 00:08:53,625
Just curious, what's the
dimension across here?
190
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:56,750
It's approximately 16 feet.
191
00:08:56,875 --> 00:08:58,375
But as we get into the center,
192
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,417
the center circle,
it's more like 13 feet
193
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:02,893
- in through there.
- There you go.
194
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:04,500
- 13 feet. There it is again.
- Mm-hmm.
195
00:09:04,625 --> 00:09:06,417
Number just keeps popping up.
196
00:09:06,542 --> 00:09:08,583
That was the original
diameter of the Money Pit.
197
00:09:08,708 --> 00:09:11,667
It does bear a strong
resemblance, you know,
198
00:09:11,792 --> 00:09:13,958
to what we saw in Portugal.
199
00:09:14,042 --> 00:09:17,792
Yes. Very similar
to Sintra in concept.
200
00:09:20,167 --> 00:09:21,167
Wow.
201
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:25,792
What is this dimension,
the diameter?
202
00:09:25,917 --> 00:09:27,208
13 feet.
203
00:09:28,667 --> 00:09:30,375
- Which is...
- That sounds awful familiar.
204
00:09:30,542 --> 00:09:32,333
One year ago,
205
00:09:32,458 --> 00:09:36,000
Alex and his Uncle Rick visited
the town of Sintra, Portugal,
206
00:09:36,167 --> 00:09:37,625
where they were shown
207
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:40,750
a mysterious Masonic
well that was 13 feet
208
00:09:40,875 --> 00:09:44,750
in diameter and 90 feet deep
on grounds that once served
209
00:09:44,875 --> 00:09:47,750
as a Templar stronghold
more than eight centuries ago.
210
00:09:47,875 --> 00:09:52,167
The initiation
well has nine platforms.
211
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:55,625
Branch of an
oak tree over the well.
212
00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:58,083
That's exactly what the
Money Pit story is about.
213
00:09:59,083 --> 00:10:00,875
So, if we think about Templars
214
00:10:01,042 --> 00:10:04,167
as "brothers without
borders," you would have had
215
00:10:04,333 --> 00:10:09,708
potentially French Templars
here, English, Portuguese.
216
00:10:09,833 --> 00:10:12,583
We know they
were here in the area
217
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:15,625
going back to easily
the early 1100s.
218
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:17,667
I mean, I could be
easily convinced
219
00:10:17,833 --> 00:10:20,125
this was a Templar something.
220
00:10:20,208 --> 00:10:22,000
- In fact, I think I am already.
- Yep.
221
00:10:22,125 --> 00:10:24,000
Are there connections
to Oak Island?
222
00:10:24,125 --> 00:10:25,208
I believe there are.
223
00:10:27,042 --> 00:10:28,292
That image there
224
00:10:28,417 --> 00:10:30,583
is what I believe is portrayed
225
00:10:30,708 --> 00:10:33,375
on the lead cross
that Gary found.
226
00:10:35,542 --> 00:10:36,708
Yeah.
227
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:45,333
At Royston Cave
in the town of Royston, England,
228
00:10:45,458 --> 00:10:49,833
Marty and Alex Lagina,
along with Charles Barkhouse,
229
00:10:49,958 --> 00:10:51,500
have just been shown a carving
230
00:10:51,625 --> 00:10:53,917
depicting the
crucifixion of Christ.
231
00:10:54,042 --> 00:10:57,167
A carving that author and
researcher Gretchen Cornwall
232
00:10:57,250 --> 00:11:00,125
believes was made more
than six centuries ago
233
00:11:00,208 --> 00:11:02,750
by members of
the Knights Templar
234
00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:05,333
and which may
potentially be connected
235
00:11:05,417 --> 00:11:07,167
to the Oak Island mystery.
236
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:10,833
Dimensionally, that is
basically the same thing.
237
00:11:10,958 --> 00:11:13,000
The head is off to the side.
238
00:11:13,083 --> 00:11:15,875
Even one arm of the cross
is shorter than the other, too.
239
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,833
I think you're
right. Actually, it is.
240
00:11:17,958 --> 00:11:19,667
- It-it is, Marty, yeah.
- I don't know,
241
00:11:19,792 --> 00:11:20,851
I don't know if
you can see that,
242
00:11:20,875 --> 00:11:22,333
but there's the...
243
00:11:22,458 --> 00:11:23,518
Oh, that's the prison at Domme.
244
00:11:23,542 --> 00:11:24,792
- Yeah.
- Yes.
245
00:11:24,875 --> 00:11:26,833
That is very, very similar.
246
00:11:26,958 --> 00:11:28,684
And you
can see they passed their time
247
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:30,500
by making carvings in the walls
248
00:11:30,583 --> 00:11:33,667
to sustain them spiritually.
249
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:36,667
In 2017, Rick Lagina,
250
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:39,333
along with his
nephews Alex and Peter,
251
00:11:39,458 --> 00:11:42,417
visited a 14th century
prison in Domme, France
252
00:11:42,542 --> 00:11:43,792
where Templar Knights
253
00:11:43,875 --> 00:11:45,792
were held captive
after the order
254
00:11:45,875 --> 00:11:49,167
was disbanded by
King Philip IV in 1307.
255
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:53,042
There, they were shown a
number of Templar carvings,
256
00:11:53,167 --> 00:11:56,667
including a very distinct cross.
257
00:11:58,417 --> 00:12:00,333
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
258
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:01,625
What?
259
00:12:01,708 --> 00:12:02,833
Just weeks later,
260
00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:04,833
Rick and metal detection expert
261
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:08,500
Gary Drayton found a
lead cross on Oak Island
262
00:12:08,625 --> 00:12:10,292
with a nearly identical design.
263
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:12,542
Holy schmoly! All right.
264
00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:15,167
A cross that,
when scientifically tested,
265
00:12:15,292 --> 00:12:19,333
was determined to have
originated in Southern France
266
00:12:19,417 --> 00:12:21,083
during the 14th century.
267
00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:25,583
Is it possible that
Marty, Alex, and Charles
268
00:12:25,708 --> 00:12:29,792
have now found a third example
in Royston Cave that could serve
269
00:12:29,917 --> 00:12:32,500
as more evidence
connecting the Knights Templar
270
00:12:32,625 --> 00:12:34,250
to the Oak Island mystery?
271
00:12:35,167 --> 00:12:36,708
- It's three places now.
- Yeah.
272
00:12:36,833 --> 00:12:38,542
I mean, it's the
lead cross itself...
273
00:12:38,667 --> 00:12:42,042
- Yeah.
- And then Domme and here.
274
00:12:42,167 --> 00:12:43,417
Yes.
275
00:12:43,542 --> 00:12:45,792
The way that they're designed,
276
00:12:45,917 --> 00:12:47,517
even with the
identical tilt of the head.
277
00:12:47,542 --> 00:12:49,917
- This is a Templar design.
- Yeah.
278
00:12:50,042 --> 00:12:53,042
You know, any of the shared
symbology is really interesting.
279
00:12:53,167 --> 00:12:57,917
I think you'll find even
more interesting iconography.
280
00:12:58,042 --> 00:13:00,833
Right here. Do you see
the bricks right there?
281
00:13:00,917 --> 00:13:03,250
- Yes.
- Up there,
282
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:04,583
on one of the bricks
283
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:07,458
- is literally carved 1347.
- Oh, yeah.
284
00:13:07,583 --> 00:13:09,458
I see it now.
285
00:13:09,542 --> 00:13:13,417
- And that is literally on Zena's map.
- Incredible.
286
00:13:15,958 --> 00:13:20,708
When I found the
map, which is dated 1347,
287
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:25,375
I began to put pieces together.
288
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,458
In 2016,
289
00:13:27,542 --> 00:13:30,167
the late author and
researcher Zena Halpern
290
00:13:30,250 --> 00:13:33,917
presented the Oak
Island team with two maps
291
00:13:34,042 --> 00:13:36,292
and a mysterious
cypher suggesting
292
00:13:36,417 --> 00:13:39,750
that the Knights Templar had
repeatedly visited Oak Island
293
00:13:39,875 --> 00:13:42,500
between the 12th
and 14th centuries.
294
00:13:42,583 --> 00:13:44,792
Incredibly, one of the maps
295
00:13:44,875 --> 00:13:47,792
depicted many well-known
landmarks on the island,
296
00:13:47,875 --> 00:13:50,708
such as the swamp,
the stone triangle,
297
00:13:50,833 --> 00:13:53,833
and what came to be
known as the Money Pit.
298
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:58,917
It also featured
the date of 1347.
299
00:13:59,833 --> 00:14:01,667
Zena's map, if it's real,
300
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:04,375
is a super direct
connection to Oak Island.
301
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:06,476
- I mean, it is Oak Island.
- Oh, it is Oak Island.
302
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,333
Yep. Here's the map.
303
00:14:08,458 --> 00:14:11,458
And the date is
actually written out here.
304
00:14:11,542 --> 00:14:15,042
- "Un mille trois cent quarante sept."
- Oh, okay.
305
00:14:15,208 --> 00:14:18,042
You know, you do have that
exact date on Zena's map.
306
00:14:18,167 --> 00:14:19,667
But I think it
refers to a voyage
307
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:21,208
in 1347.
308
00:14:21,333 --> 00:14:23,500
Right. The
conjecture would be
309
00:14:23,625 --> 00:14:25,875
that's a commemorative stone.
310
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,458
Says, "All right, guys,
we're leaving this place now.
311
00:14:29,542 --> 00:14:31,708
It's become too dangerous."
312
00:14:31,833 --> 00:14:34,042
They inscribe it
because people do that.
313
00:14:34,167 --> 00:14:36,083
And, actually, it is kind
of like a cornerstone,
314
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,083
which is where
you'd put such things.
315
00:14:38,208 --> 00:14:39,792
And then they pack up and go.
316
00:14:39,917 --> 00:14:41,250
According to you,
317
00:14:41,375 --> 00:14:42,935
to Oak Island, right?
318
00:14:44,375 --> 00:14:46,250
Although many Templar Knights
319
00:14:46,375 --> 00:14:51,208
were executed after their
persecution in France in 1307,
320
00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:54,167
many others escaped
to areas across Europe,
321
00:14:54,250 --> 00:14:58,333
including Portugal,
Scotland, and England,
322
00:14:58,458 --> 00:15:01,000
and their sacred
treasures were never found.
323
00:15:01,125 --> 00:15:04,083
Is it possible that Royston Cave
324
00:15:04,208 --> 00:15:07,833
was one of the locations that
the Templars secretly used
325
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:09,875
for the safekeeping of valuables
326
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,500
before transporting them
to Oak Island in 1347?
327
00:15:14,625 --> 00:15:16,833
Anything else here
328
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:18,208
that you think is a connection
329
00:15:18,333 --> 00:15:20,708
- somehow to Zena's map?
- Yes.
330
00:15:20,833 --> 00:15:24,375
And she is right
behind you, Charles.
331
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:26,000
- Right there?
- Yeah.
332
00:15:27,167 --> 00:15:31,625
Do you see a head, a crown,
shoulders, a body at the bottom,
333
00:15:31,708 --> 00:15:34,000
and then I believe
that is a tail.
334
00:15:34,083 --> 00:15:37,250
And that, I think, could be
335
00:15:37,375 --> 00:15:41,000
Melusine from the sixth century,
336
00:15:41,125 --> 00:15:46,167
who the Rochefoucaulds
claim as their ancestress.
337
00:15:46,292 --> 00:15:49,875
In ancient
European folklore, the half-fish,
338
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,917
half-human goddess
known as Melusine
339
00:15:53,042 --> 00:15:55,500
was so revered
in medieval Europe
340
00:15:55,583 --> 00:15:59,250
that many families believed
that they were her descendants.
341
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:01,500
According to
Gretchen's research,
342
00:16:01,583 --> 00:16:04,500
one of these families,
whose name also appeared
343
00:16:04,625 --> 00:16:08,042
on Zena Halpern's map,
was the Rochefoucaulds.
344
00:16:09,375 --> 00:16:11,726
You believe that is the
symbol of the Rochefoucauld family?
345
00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:12,750
Yes.
346
00:16:12,875 --> 00:16:15,083
She is their family crest.
347
00:16:15,208 --> 00:16:18,250
I was in Rochefoucauld,
348
00:16:18,375 --> 00:16:22,500
and I took this photo
at the château itself
349
00:16:22,583 --> 00:16:23,958
while I was there.
350
00:16:24,042 --> 00:16:26,333
And she's at the top here
351
00:16:26,417 --> 00:16:30,167
holding up the marble
platform for a bust.
352
00:16:31,375 --> 00:16:34,042
The Rochefoucaulds
were a family of French nobles
353
00:16:34,167 --> 00:16:36,167
dating back to the tenth century
354
00:16:36,292 --> 00:16:38,542
and are believed to
have been connected
355
00:16:38,708 --> 00:16:40,417
to the Knights Templar.
356
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:44,083
I found eight pages of a ship...
What looks like a ship's log.
357
00:16:44,208 --> 00:16:46,208
In 2017,
358
00:16:46,333 --> 00:16:48,875
Oak Island historian
Doug Crowell
359
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,833
discovered a partial ship's log
360
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:53,083
describing a secret
French naval mission
361
00:16:53,208 --> 00:16:55,250
to hide treasure
on a wooded island
362
00:16:55,375 --> 00:16:59,500
in Nova Scotia back
in September of 1746.
363
00:16:59,625 --> 00:17:02,333
"September
8th. It has been agreed
364
00:17:02,417 --> 00:17:04,792
"that a deep pit be dug
and treasure securely buried.
365
00:17:04,875 --> 00:17:06,958
"The pit to have
a secret entrance
366
00:17:07,042 --> 00:17:08,375
by a tunnel from the shore."
367
00:17:10,958 --> 00:17:14,042
The admiral in
charge of that mission was named
368
00:17:14,167 --> 00:17:17,208
Jean-Baptiste Louis
Frédérick de la Rochefoucauld,
369
00:17:17,333 --> 00:17:20,958
also known as the Duc d'Anville.
370
00:17:21,042 --> 00:17:22,958
That's an interesting find.
371
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:24,375
Yeah.
372
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:27,292
If this represents the
Rochefoucauld family,
373
00:17:27,375 --> 00:17:29,292
then that's another
connection to the map.
374
00:17:29,375 --> 00:17:31,667
Yeah, two. At least
two, right in here.
375
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:33,708
It's almost too
much to be a coincidence.
376
00:17:33,833 --> 00:17:36,417
- Yes.
- Yeah, I need to be thinking about that.
377
00:17:36,542 --> 00:17:39,292
Is it possible
that Gretchen Cornwall
378
00:17:39,375 --> 00:17:41,792
has found evidence
in Royston Cave
379
00:17:41,875 --> 00:17:43,500
that the Knights Templar
380
00:17:43,625 --> 00:17:46,167
and, later, members of
the Rochefoucauld family
381
00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:50,792
both visited Oak Island
in order to hide valuables?
382
00:17:50,875 --> 00:17:55,167
If so, could that also explain
the high trace evidence of gold
383
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:57,042
that the team has detected
384
00:17:57,167 --> 00:17:59,875
near the Garden
Shaft in the Money Pit?
385
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,167
Royston Cave delivered.
386
00:18:02,292 --> 00:18:05,000
It was as interesting
as Gretchen said.
387
00:18:05,083 --> 00:18:06,583
There are symbols
carved in the wall
388
00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:07,875
that are similar to Domme.
389
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,750
It actually makes me believe
390
00:18:09,875 --> 00:18:12,958
that that cave is older, that
maybe that is very ancient
391
00:18:13,042 --> 00:18:15,250
and could be
significant to Oak Island.
392
00:18:15,375 --> 00:18:17,208
So I'm just gonna get
393
00:18:17,333 --> 00:18:18,643
- some video for Uncle Rick.
- Rick will want to see it.
394
00:18:18,667 --> 00:18:20,917
- Absolutely.
- Especially this.
395
00:18:21,042 --> 00:18:22,322
So now we'll be able to do
396
00:18:22,375 --> 00:18:24,458
double duty on this trip because
397
00:18:24,542 --> 00:18:29,167
I can also go speak to
one of our expert archivists
398
00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:30,792
working in London.
399
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:32,625
This is a really cool place.
400
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:35,167
Yeah, there's more here
than I ever would have thought.
401
00:18:35,292 --> 00:18:37,958
- Thank you for showing us around.
- Absolutely.
402
00:18:38,042 --> 00:18:39,750
Thank you so
much for being here.
403
00:18:39,875 --> 00:18:42,167
- Lead on.
- Thank you, sir.
404
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:47,643
Trust me, you're
really gonna want to see
405
00:18:47,667 --> 00:18:49,583
- where it goes at 150.
- Oh, yeah.
406
00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:51,588
As Rick Lagina
and members of the team
407
00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:54,708
continue drilling for
evidence of a potential
408
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:56,833
18th-century tunnel
in the Money Pit...
409
00:18:56,917 --> 00:18:58,375
All right.
410
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:00,792
This is an interesting area.
411
00:19:00,917 --> 00:19:02,208
Yeah.
412
00:19:02,333 --> 00:19:04,875
We've got like six
or seven flags here.
413
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,708
Metal detection expert
Gary Drayton and Jack Begley
414
00:19:07,875 --> 00:19:11,417
are also looking for
important clues on Lot 7,
415
00:19:11,542 --> 00:19:14,167
located on the western
side of the island.
416
00:19:14,292 --> 00:19:16,000
I think it's a great opportunity
417
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:18,542
to see if maybe there's some
418
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:20,458
- really interesting finds.
- Yep.
419
00:19:20,542 --> 00:19:22,417
It's telling more of the story.
420
00:19:22,542 --> 00:19:23,958
Yeah.
421
00:19:25,708 --> 00:19:27,333
Oh, wow.
422
00:19:27,417 --> 00:19:29,000
This could be
something special, mate.
423
00:19:29,125 --> 00:19:30,292
One week ago,
424
00:19:30,375 --> 00:19:32,333
while searching this area,
425
00:19:32,458 --> 00:19:35,000
Gary and Jack discovered
what Gary believes to be
426
00:19:35,125 --> 00:19:36,750
some type of ancient coin.
427
00:19:36,875 --> 00:19:39,500
While the team
awaits expert analysis
428
00:19:39,625 --> 00:19:41,542
to be conducted on the object,
429
00:19:41,667 --> 00:19:44,833
they have confirmed that it
contains arsenical bronze...
430
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:48,500
A compound that was used
to produce currency, tools
431
00:19:48,625 --> 00:19:51,833
and weaponry in Europe
prior to the 16th century.
432
00:19:51,958 --> 00:19:53,250
Flag, mate.
433
00:19:53,375 --> 00:19:55,583
See if we can get a...
434
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:57,958
an artifact in one,
not a hole in one.
435
00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:00,625
In accordance
with provincial regulations,
436
00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:02,750
Gary has already
scanned the area
437
00:20:02,875 --> 00:20:04,917
and marked a number
of targets with flags,
438
00:20:05,042 --> 00:20:07,500
which team
archaeologist Laird Niven
439
00:20:07,625 --> 00:20:10,000
has now given him
permission to dig up.
440
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:11,833
A bit chirpy.
441
00:20:13,417 --> 00:20:15,250
It's round about here, mate.
442
00:20:15,375 --> 00:20:17,583
That's, uh, most
of the signal there.
443
00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:18,708
Yep.
444
00:20:26,083 --> 00:20:28,417
Is it out?
445
00:20:30,167 --> 00:20:31,958
What the heck is this?
446
00:20:34,458 --> 00:20:37,292
An ornament? No.
447
00:20:38,625 --> 00:20:39,500
An earring?
448
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:41,375
I have not got a clue, mate.
449
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:43,340
- It's very interesting.
- Look, it might be...
450
00:20:43,458 --> 00:20:44,875
might be some jewelry.
451
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,684
Look at that, I mean,
the way that comes over.
452
00:20:46,708 --> 00:20:50,000
You can see where the
pin comes out and across.
453
00:20:50,125 --> 00:20:52,500
- Uh, but it's heavily corroded.
- Yeah.
454
00:20:52,667 --> 00:20:54,333
Could be, like, a-a large pin.
455
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,917
- Like a cloak pin.
- Or a pin.
456
00:20:56,042 --> 00:20:57,583
Yeah.
457
00:20:57,708 --> 00:21:01,000
This would have looked
magnificent back in the day.
458
00:21:01,125 --> 00:21:03,167
That would've been
all nice and shiny.
459
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:05,167
That's a really
big gemstone, then.
460
00:21:05,292 --> 00:21:07,167
Yeah, it's-it's
a jewel or a gem.
461
00:21:07,292 --> 00:21:08,333
Yes.
462
00:21:08,458 --> 00:21:09,708
That is brilliant, mate.
463
00:21:09,833 --> 00:21:12,000
This could be treasure.
464
00:21:12,125 --> 00:21:14,250
A possible jewel?
465
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:15,917
Found on Lot 7?
466
00:21:16,042 --> 00:21:18,333
We just found another
bobby-dazzler on Oak Island.
467
00:21:18,458 --> 00:21:21,417
And lightning strikes
again in this area.
468
00:21:21,542 --> 00:21:23,708
Remember the garnet
brooch that we found?
469
00:21:23,833 --> 00:21:25,875
- Yeah.
- And that was really, really old.
470
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,208
The garnet brooch was a
part of Scott Clarke's theory.
471
00:21:29,333 --> 00:21:31,625
And it had something to
do with Masonic rituals.
472
00:21:31,708 --> 00:21:35,667
And maybe if this is a
gemstone, it somehow relates.
473
00:21:36,917 --> 00:21:41,333
In 2017, Rick
Lagina and Gary Drayton
474
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:43,417
found a semiprecious
garnet gemstone
475
00:21:43,542 --> 00:21:45,583
on the adjacent Lot 8.
476
00:21:45,708 --> 00:21:47,333
This garnet was actually
477
00:21:47,458 --> 00:21:49,875
the perfect color,
size and general shape
478
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,500
as one of the stones
479
00:21:51,625 --> 00:21:54,292
from a Masonic Royal
Arch High Priest breastplate.
480
00:21:54,375 --> 00:21:56,375
According
to 32nd-degree Freemason
481
00:21:56,542 --> 00:21:58,500
Scott Clarke,
482
00:21:58,625 --> 00:22:00,750
it may be related to a
sacred Masonic ritual
483
00:22:00,875 --> 00:22:03,375
believed to be connected
to the Knights Templar.
484
00:22:03,542 --> 00:22:06,667
The breastplate
was used in a specific ritual
485
00:22:06,792 --> 00:22:09,458
meant to mimic the retrieval
of the Ark of the Covenant
486
00:22:09,542 --> 00:22:11,542
from a secret vault underground.
487
00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:12,958
Wow.
488
00:22:14,042 --> 00:22:17,333
I am looking forward
to seeing what it is,
489
00:22:17,458 --> 00:22:20,375
where it came from
and how old it is, mate.
490
00:22:20,542 --> 00:22:22,333
- Great job, Gary. Yeah!
- Fantastic, mate.
491
00:22:22,458 --> 00:22:24,833
- Jewel, baby!
- Yeah.
492
00:22:29,208 --> 00:22:30,708
The following day...
493
00:22:31,875 --> 00:22:32,958
108.
494
00:22:33,083 --> 00:22:34,667
- And that's the mid?
- Yeah.
495
00:22:34,792 --> 00:22:37,292
- That's the bottom here. the top's there.
- Yep.
496
00:22:37,375 --> 00:22:39,375
While Rick Lagina
and members of the team
497
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,750
continue searching for
answers on Oak Island...
498
00:22:41,875 --> 00:22:45,708
It's a little different,
but there's more silt than sand.
499
00:22:46,708 --> 00:22:49,333
Approximately
2,900 miles to the east,
500
00:22:49,458 --> 00:22:51,875
in the London suburb of Kew...
501
00:22:52,875 --> 00:22:54,500
- We're here.
- There it is.
502
00:22:54,667 --> 00:22:56,750
- What do you think, Charles?
- Pretty impressive.
503
00:22:56,875 --> 00:23:00,333
Marty and Alex Lagina,
along with Charles Barkhouse,
504
00:23:00,458 --> 00:23:03,250
arrive at the United
Kingdom's National Archives
505
00:23:03,375 --> 00:23:05,333
to meet with
historian Paul Stewart.
506
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:06,958
There's Paul.
507
00:23:07,083 --> 00:23:08,483
- Hello, sir. -Hi.
- Hello.
508
00:23:08,542 --> 00:23:10,342
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Marty.
509
00:23:10,417 --> 00:23:11,851
- Nice to meet you. Great to meet you.
- Pleasure, Paul.
510
00:23:11,875 --> 00:23:13,226
- I'm Charles.
- Great. Welcome to Kew.
511
00:23:13,250 --> 00:23:14,708
Welcome to the UK
National Archives.
512
00:23:14,833 --> 00:23:16,684
- Thank you.
- Yeah, well, we're excited to be here.
513
00:23:16,708 --> 00:23:19,333
Paul is one of
the European-based researchers
514
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:20,667
the Laginas have hired
515
00:23:20,833 --> 00:23:23,000
to search through
historic archives
516
00:23:23,125 --> 00:23:25,042
in the hopes of finding clues
517
00:23:25,167 --> 00:23:28,208
that could help solve
the Oak Island mystery.
518
00:23:28,375 --> 00:23:30,042
I looked at all sorts of stuff.
519
00:23:30,167 --> 00:23:34,000
- Uh, but then I found a collection with Duc d'Anville.
- Yeah.
520
00:23:34,167 --> 00:23:35,833
From the La
Rochefoucauld family.
521
00:23:35,958 --> 00:23:37,000
And there seems to be
522
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:39,292
a lot of connections with
the Mahone Bay area.
523
00:23:39,375 --> 00:23:40,833
- Wow.
- No kidding?
524
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,851
- And maybe Oak Island.
- Oh, that sounds fabulous.
525
00:23:42,875 --> 00:23:45,750
That's excellent, because
that's what we were looking for.
526
00:23:45,875 --> 00:23:47,518
Yeah, I think you're gonna
find it interesting, yeah.
527
00:23:47,542 --> 00:23:48,833
That's fantastic.
528
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,667
So let's go on in and
have a look, yeah.
529
00:23:51,625 --> 00:23:53,500
We're on Rick's
particular mission
530
00:23:53,667 --> 00:23:57,792
to exhaust all possible
resources in terms of
531
00:23:57,917 --> 00:24:00,000
researching what might
have happened on Oak Island.
532
00:24:00,125 --> 00:24:02,292
Because we're here
to try and figure out
533
00:24:02,417 --> 00:24:03,500
the riddle of Oak Island.
534
00:24:03,625 --> 00:24:05,375
So this is where...
535
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:07,340
- some of the documents I've found here.
- Wow.
536
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:08,684
So we're gonna see
what Paul has found.
537
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,500
All right. What have
you run across?
538
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:14,042
I've come across, uh,
some capture documents.
539
00:24:14,208 --> 00:24:16,101
Would you like to see some
of these capture documents
540
00:24:16,125 --> 00:24:17,365
- that I've found?
- Absolutely.
541
00:24:17,458 --> 00:24:20,542
During the 18th century,
542
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:23,542
England and France were
embroiled in a series of battles
543
00:24:23,667 --> 00:24:25,625
for control of Nova Scotia.
544
00:24:25,708 --> 00:24:27,875
According to international law,
545
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,083
when they commandeered
one another's ships
546
00:24:30,208 --> 00:24:33,542
on the high seas, they were
legally required to document
547
00:24:33,667 --> 00:24:36,667
such events with so-called
capture documents.
548
00:24:37,958 --> 00:24:39,601
This is Katherine
from the National Archives.
549
00:24:39,625 --> 00:24:41,000
She's going to
handle them for us.
550
00:24:41,125 --> 00:24:42,958
Okay.
551
00:24:45,375 --> 00:24:48,667
Now, this is... the Lively
was a British merchant ship.
552
00:24:48,792 --> 00:24:53,958
They were privateering in
early 1746, perhaps even 1745.
553
00:24:54,083 --> 00:24:58,000
It was captured by one
of Duc d'Anville's squadron
554
00:24:58,125 --> 00:24:59,583
over by Nova Scotia.
555
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:03,083
And what is interesting
about these is that
556
00:25:03,208 --> 00:25:05,042
when, um, the ships were taken,
557
00:25:05,208 --> 00:25:09,000
they were signed by La
Rochefoucauld, Duc d'Anville.
558
00:25:10,042 --> 00:25:12,083
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah. Oh.
559
00:25:12,208 --> 00:25:15,375
Those are, in effect,
orders from d'Anville, right?
560
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:17,125
He was the
commander of this fleet.
561
00:25:17,208 --> 00:25:19,351
Now, he wouldn't have done
that from France or anywhere else.
562
00:25:19,375 --> 00:25:20,917
He must have been
there at that time.
563
00:25:21,042 --> 00:25:22,792
This is 1746?
564
00:25:22,875 --> 00:25:25,750
PAUL S. Yeah, January
1746, which I find quite early on.
565
00:25:27,375 --> 00:25:28,667
I see.
566
00:25:28,833 --> 00:25:29,851
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That's the significance.
567
00:25:29,875 --> 00:25:31,250
That puts him there earlier.
568
00:25:31,375 --> 00:25:32,601
That seems really
early to me, yeah.
569
00:25:32,625 --> 00:25:33,934
Which means he could have made
570
00:25:33,958 --> 00:25:35,875
- many trips to the area.
- I think so, yeah.
571
00:25:36,958 --> 00:25:39,083
Yet another
mystery on Oak Island.
572
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:47,518
At the National
Archives in London, England,
573
00:25:47,542 --> 00:25:50,292
researcher Paul Stewart
574
00:25:50,417 --> 00:25:52,250
has just presented
official documents
575
00:25:52,375 --> 00:25:55,000
that state the French admiral
known as the Duc d'Anville,
576
00:25:55,125 --> 00:25:58,083
who reportedly led a
mission to bury treasure
577
00:25:58,208 --> 00:26:01,750
in Nova Scotia back
in September of 1746,
578
00:26:01,875 --> 00:26:05,000
visited the area near Oak
Island nine months earlier.
579
00:26:05,167 --> 00:26:07,458
That's amazing. I mean,
I think that's really...
580
00:26:07,542 --> 00:26:09,458
Quite apart from
our little hunt here,
581
00:26:09,542 --> 00:26:11,917
that document was
on board that ship.
582
00:26:12,042 --> 00:26:14,250
Yeah.
583
00:26:14,375 --> 00:26:16,226
The biggest thing to me
is the fact that we investigated
584
00:26:16,250 --> 00:26:17,970
the Rochefoucaulds
as a potential connection
585
00:26:18,083 --> 00:26:19,375
to Oak Island,
586
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:21,042
and this document is reinforcing
587
00:26:21,167 --> 00:26:23,875
that the Duc d'Anville
was active in the area.
588
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,208
It's not just a
tangential connection.
589
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:28,958
He was more familiar with the
area than maybe we imagined.
590
00:26:29,042 --> 00:26:33,250
And he made more trips to the
area than maybe we imagined.
591
00:26:33,375 --> 00:26:37,625
So there's more I want
to tell you about the next papers.
592
00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:39,958
These are, uh, Admiral
Anson's capture documents.
593
00:26:40,083 --> 00:26:41,167
Hmm.
594
00:26:42,583 --> 00:26:44,684
Admiral Anson seemed
to have an interest in collecting,
595
00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:46,583
uh, intelligence about
the Duc d'Anville fleet,
596
00:26:46,708 --> 00:26:48,375
so he went for
some of these ships.
597
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:50,601
- 'Cause they had information.
- Yeah, they had information
598
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:52,184
about what-what their
fleet had been up to.
599
00:26:52,208 --> 00:26:54,333
I see. Okay.
600
00:26:54,458 --> 00:26:58,000
Lord George
Anson was a highly revered member
601
00:26:58,125 --> 00:27:00,083
of the British Navy, serving in
602
00:27:00,208 --> 00:27:03,167
and also leading
many successful battles
603
00:27:03,292 --> 00:27:05,833
for England during
the mid-18th century.
604
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:08,667
Following the French
mission that the Duc d'Anville
605
00:27:08,792 --> 00:27:12,833
led to Nova Scotia
in September of 1746,
606
00:27:12,958 --> 00:27:15,167
Admiral Anson began
targeting the ships
607
00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:18,792
known to have been part
of that French armada.
608
00:27:18,875 --> 00:27:20,833
So this is the Diamant.
609
00:27:20,958 --> 00:27:23,583
This was a famous
ship in the d'Anville fleet.
610
00:27:24,875 --> 00:27:28,458
There, "The Diamant seized
by His Majesty's ships of war
611
00:27:28,583 --> 00:27:31,750
under the command
of Admiral Anson."
612
00:27:32,833 --> 00:27:35,917
There's a guy mentioned
in here called Hocquart,
613
00:27:36,042 --> 00:27:39,958
who was captain of the Diamant
in the original d'Anville fleet.
614
00:27:40,042 --> 00:27:41,875
Hocquart is captured
by Admiral Anson.
615
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,417
Anson put him in prison and
gave him a hard time in prison.
616
00:27:44,542 --> 00:27:48,375
Anson obviously wanted to
try and find out something about
617
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,042
what was on the ship.
618
00:27:50,208 --> 00:27:52,625
Right, so Anson comes in looking
for answers and maybe saying
619
00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:55,917
what was the mission
before it was captured.
620
00:27:56,042 --> 00:27:58,167
Then he imprisons him
and extracts that information.
621
00:27:58,292 --> 00:28:00,583
Yeah, he wanted to find
out what they had been up to
622
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:03,875
when they were along
the coast of-of Mahone Bay.
623
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,167
- And that's the bit that fits into our search.
- Yeah.
624
00:28:07,292 --> 00:28:09,917
Was Admiral
Anson targeting ships
625
00:28:10,042 --> 00:28:13,167
in the Duc d'Anville's armada
simply as an act of war?
626
00:28:13,292 --> 00:28:16,500
Or was it because he
was looking for the treasure
627
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:21,042
described in d'Anville's ship's
log dated to September of 1746
628
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:24,458
that Doug Crowell found in
the Nova Scotia archives?
629
00:28:24,542 --> 00:28:26,333
Admiral Anson,
630
00:28:26,458 --> 00:28:27,934
he had targeted some
of these French ships.
631
00:28:27,958 --> 00:28:30,208
He wanted to know what happened.
632
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,542
He wanted to get ahold of
these people as prisoners
633
00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:34,042
and interrogate them.
634
00:28:34,167 --> 00:28:35,750
Well, there's some
significance there.
635
00:28:35,875 --> 00:28:39,167
So, what was he after?
What did they know?
636
00:28:39,292 --> 00:28:41,833
Anson ended up getting
letters from all sorts
637
00:28:41,958 --> 00:28:45,208
of top people in-in France
to try and get Hocquart out.
638
00:28:47,042 --> 00:28:48,833
One of the letters that
was sent from France
639
00:28:48,958 --> 00:28:51,958
looks pretty certainly to be
from the Rochefoucauld family.
640
00:28:52,083 --> 00:28:54,750
And Anson wouldn't let
him out for a long time.
641
00:28:54,875 --> 00:28:56,750
I mean, they were
kept for a reason.
642
00:28:56,875 --> 00:28:58,059
They were interrogated
for a reason.
643
00:28:58,083 --> 00:28:59,500
It has to do with Nova Scotia.
644
00:28:59,667 --> 00:29:00,976
It might have to do
with Mahone Bay.
645
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,458
It might have to
do with Oak Island.
646
00:29:02,583 --> 00:29:03,583
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
647
00:29:04,625 --> 00:29:08,042
I think the fact that Anson
was looking for this, you know,
648
00:29:08,167 --> 00:29:10,000
knowledge as to
what was going on,
649
00:29:10,083 --> 00:29:12,750
that's potentially connected
to the Duc d'Anville's fleet
650
00:29:12,875 --> 00:29:14,000
- and Oak Island.
- Yeah.
651
00:29:14,167 --> 00:29:15,667
And maybe the information
652
00:29:15,833 --> 00:29:17,393
got out as the barter
for their freedom.
653
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:19,434
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And then the British came
654
00:29:19,458 --> 00:29:20,625
- looking for it.
- Yeah.
655
00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:21,875
I could buy that.
656
00:29:22,042 --> 00:29:23,500
It would really explain
657
00:29:23,625 --> 00:29:25,833
the different artifacts
we're finding on Oak Island.
658
00:29:25,958 --> 00:29:27,726
I mean, if the French and
the British are both involved,
659
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:29,208
we're finding British coins
660
00:29:29,375 --> 00:29:30,735
and we're finding
French artifacts.
661
00:29:30,875 --> 00:29:32,125
Yeah.
662
00:29:32,208 --> 00:29:35,167
And one explanation
is that both groups
663
00:29:35,333 --> 00:29:37,684
- knew about something on Oak Island.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
664
00:29:37,708 --> 00:29:39,458
Over the years,
665
00:29:39,542 --> 00:29:42,667
the Oak Island team has
found numerous artifacts,
666
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:44,667
such as musket balls,
667
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:48,000
cap badges, coins
and uniform buttons,
668
00:29:48,125 --> 00:29:51,167
which suggest that both
the French and British military
669
00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:54,833
set up encampments on Oak
Island during the 18th century.
670
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,833
We haven't been
able to make sense of it
671
00:29:56,917 --> 00:29:58,375
because it's almost like...
672
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,083
it-it only fits,
673
00:30:00,208 --> 00:30:02,417
- you know, the French or the British, not both.
- Yeah.
674
00:30:02,542 --> 00:30:04,542
- But this explains it. This makes sense.
- Yeah.
675
00:30:06,208 --> 00:30:09,000
Is it possible that
the British came to Oak Island
676
00:30:09,125 --> 00:30:12,042
searching for a large
treasure that was hidden there
677
00:30:12,167 --> 00:30:14,250
by the Duc d'Anville's
French fleet?
678
00:30:14,375 --> 00:30:16,255
- This is excellent stuff.
- Brilliant.
679
00:30:17,208 --> 00:30:19,208
Incredibly historical,
too. I mean...
680
00:30:19,375 --> 00:30:21,518
- Well, it's just amazing the records are there.
- Yeah.
681
00:30:21,542 --> 00:30:22,667
Well, Paul, excellent work.
682
00:30:22,792 --> 00:30:24,500
Keep the data coming.
683
00:30:24,583 --> 00:30:26,663
- I will. Oh, thank you.
- Thank you very much, Paul.
684
00:30:26,750 --> 00:30:29,070
- Yeah, cheers. Take care.
- Thanks, Paul. -Carry on.
685
00:30:30,125 --> 00:30:32,500
- Show that to the boys back home.
- Yep.
686
00:30:36,833 --> 00:30:38,000
Hey, Rick.
687
00:30:38,167 --> 00:30:39,351
- Hey.
- How are you?
688
00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:41,125
Uh-oh. Smiles
on the both of 'em.
689
00:30:41,208 --> 00:30:42,667
- Oh-ho, yeah.
- Smiles, mate.
690
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:44,667
- What you got?
- Boom, baby!
691
00:30:44,750 --> 00:30:45,893
We've just recovered
another jewel
692
00:30:45,917 --> 00:30:47,125
on Oak Island.
693
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:48,125
- Really?
- Yep.
694
00:30:48,250 --> 00:30:49,250
Let's see it.
695
00:30:54,458 --> 00:30:56,250
Look at that, mate.
696
00:30:57,375 --> 00:30:59,250
Oh, wow.
697
00:30:59,375 --> 00:31:01,500
In the Oak
Island Interpretive Centre,
698
00:31:01,625 --> 00:31:04,667
metal detection expert Gary
Drayton and Jack Begley
699
00:31:04,792 --> 00:31:08,083
are meeting with Rick Lagina
and archaeologist Laird Niven
700
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:10,333
to share the mysterious jewelry
701
00:31:10,458 --> 00:31:12,625
they recently
discovered on Lot 7.
702
00:31:12,750 --> 00:31:15,000
My first thoughts was maybe, uh,
703
00:31:15,083 --> 00:31:18,500
an hat pin or a cloak
pin... not really sure.
704
00:31:18,625 --> 00:31:20,393
It's got a jewel
on it, though, or glass or...
705
00:31:20,417 --> 00:31:22,042
- Yeah, I see that.
- Yeah. Yeah.
706
00:31:22,167 --> 00:31:24,333
Oh, it's definitely
jewelry. Right?
707
00:31:24,417 --> 00:31:25,583
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
708
00:31:25,708 --> 00:31:27,375
Definitely decorative.
709
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:29,458
Yeah, you wouldn't
wear something like that
710
00:31:29,542 --> 00:31:31,351
- if you're working on the fields.
- Wouldn't think so.
711
00:31:31,375 --> 00:31:33,018
And it's in the...
it's in the middle of the lot.
712
00:31:33,042 --> 00:31:35,333
Hmm. Yeah, let's
put it under there.
713
00:31:35,417 --> 00:31:38,292
To examine
the believed cloak pin in detail,
714
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:42,667
Laird Niven will be using
a Fisherbrand 425 series
715
00:31:42,792 --> 00:31:45,417
zoom stereoscopic microscope,
716
00:31:45,542 --> 00:31:49,042
which can enhance an object
up to 50 times its actual size.
717
00:31:49,167 --> 00:31:50,667
- See that blue there?
- Yeah.
718
00:31:50,792 --> 00:31:54,167
Ooh, that's a right
bobby-dazzler.
719
00:31:54,250 --> 00:31:56,667
- That is beautiful.
- Yeah.
720
00:31:56,792 --> 00:31:59,333
That is a beauty, all right.
721
00:31:59,458 --> 00:32:00,500
Sapphire?
722
00:32:00,667 --> 00:32:02,000
I don't know if that...
723
00:32:02,083 --> 00:32:04,000
If it is blue, it's
dark, isn't it?
724
00:32:04,125 --> 00:32:05,667
Yeah.
725
00:32:05,833 --> 00:32:08,542
- It's pretty cool.
- That is pretty cool.
726
00:32:08,667 --> 00:32:11,500
The thing you see most,
of course, is the blueness.
727
00:32:11,583 --> 00:32:13,833
A jewel, a sapphire.
728
00:32:13,917 --> 00:32:16,542
Whatever it is, it's shiny,
729
00:32:16,667 --> 00:32:18,833
it's bright and it's beautiful.
730
00:32:18,958 --> 00:32:21,292
But you can't just
focus on the jewel.
731
00:32:21,375 --> 00:32:24,417
You have to ask the
question, what is this?
732
00:32:24,542 --> 00:32:25,833
Why is it found here?
733
00:32:25,958 --> 00:32:27,542
Who might it have belonged to?
734
00:32:27,667 --> 00:32:29,250
And why were they on the island?
735
00:32:29,375 --> 00:32:32,792
Can you imagine how
long that took to build up
736
00:32:32,917 --> 00:32:34,875
all that patina on there?
737
00:32:35,042 --> 00:32:36,875
All that encrustation?
738
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,417
How long, do you think?
739
00:32:38,542 --> 00:32:40,458
Couple hundred years?
740
00:32:40,542 --> 00:32:41,750
Very long time.
741
00:32:41,875 --> 00:32:43,208
Yeah.
742
00:32:44,708 --> 00:32:46,000
That's a right little
743
00:32:46,125 --> 00:32:47,845
bobby-dazzler, isn't it?
744
00:32:47,875 --> 00:32:50,458
- Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to analyze this.
- Yeah.
745
00:32:50,542 --> 00:32:52,125
No...
746
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:54,833
Not even a guess as to age?
747
00:32:54,958 --> 00:32:56,667
It's not from the
1900s... we know that.
748
00:32:56,750 --> 00:32:57,833
No.
749
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,000
It is unusual.
750
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:00,708
I look forward to a date,
751
00:33:00,833 --> 00:33:02,083
whether stylistically
752
00:33:02,208 --> 00:33:04,333
- or metal composition.
- Yeah.
753
00:33:04,458 --> 00:33:07,417
Well, I think the-the CT
scanner will give us a better idea
754
00:33:07,542 --> 00:33:09,333
- of construction.
- Mm.
755
00:33:09,417 --> 00:33:11,333
We'll be able to look inside it.
756
00:33:11,458 --> 00:33:13,833
And then I think we
can do a little cleaning.
757
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,042
And then we can XRF it.
758
00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:19,167
And that'll tell us certainly
what the base metal is
759
00:33:19,292 --> 00:33:22,125
and perhaps what the jewel is.
760
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:24,167
Little bit of cleaning,
little bit of scanning
761
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:25,667
and a little bit of celebrating.
762
00:33:27,208 --> 00:33:29,542
I imagine you-you
guys did that already.
763
00:33:29,667 --> 00:33:30,833
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
764
00:33:30,958 --> 00:33:32,167
It's very cool.
765
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:35,333
So, great job. Good find.
766
00:33:35,458 --> 00:33:37,542
Let's get back stuck
in, mate, and find
767
00:33:37,708 --> 00:33:39,351
- some more treasure.
- Yeah. Let's go find some more. -All right.
768
00:33:39,375 --> 00:33:41,018
- Great find.
- See you. Thank you.
769
00:33:41,042 --> 00:33:42,542
Well, it's a gem of a find.
770
00:33:42,667 --> 00:33:43,667
Yeah.
771
00:33:44,875 --> 00:33:47,333
Later that afternoon...
772
00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:49,083
Might be a little spray!
773
00:33:49,208 --> 00:33:50,888
As the core drilling
operation continues
774
00:33:51,042 --> 00:33:53,042
in the Money Pit area...
775
00:33:55,083 --> 00:33:56,792
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, guys.
776
00:33:56,917 --> 00:33:58,667
I suppose we
should say, "Cheerio."
777
00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:00,458
Cheerio.
778
00:34:00,542 --> 00:34:02,667
Rick Lagina and
members of the team
779
00:34:02,792 --> 00:34:04,792
gather in the war room
for a video conference
780
00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:06,500
with his brother Marty,
781
00:34:06,625 --> 00:34:09,333
nephew Alex and
Charles Barkhouse
782
00:34:09,417 --> 00:34:12,500
for a report on what they
have learned in England.
783
00:34:12,625 --> 00:34:14,465
- Craig, welcome.
- Also joining remotely
784
00:34:14,542 --> 00:34:18,417
is Rick and Marty's
business partner Craig Tester.
785
00:34:18,542 --> 00:34:20,750
So, we're waiting to hear
from you what you've learned.
786
00:34:20,875 --> 00:34:22,125
Sure.
787
00:34:22,208 --> 00:34:23,958
We started at
Royston Cave. Um...
788
00:34:24,042 --> 00:34:25,667
it's-it's not a cave.
789
00:34:25,833 --> 00:34:27,125
It's actually hand-dug
790
00:34:27,208 --> 00:34:29,333
into the-the rock
underneath Royston.
791
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:31,292
And it's got
792
00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:34,083
just an overwhelming
number of carvings in it.
793
00:34:34,208 --> 00:34:36,667
It's larger-scale
than I expected.
794
00:34:36,792 --> 00:34:39,708
You know, there's potential
Templar symbolism there.
795
00:34:39,875 --> 00:34:44,000
And there's some symbols
that are, you know, familiar to us
796
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:46,458
from other trips
that we've taken,
797
00:34:46,583 --> 00:34:49,875
like in Domme and at
Rochefoucauld Castle,
798
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
and potential
connections between both
799
00:34:52,125 --> 00:34:54,833
the Rochefoucaulds,
the Duc d'Anville
800
00:34:54,917 --> 00:34:56,708
and Oak Island.
801
00:34:56,833 --> 00:34:58,000
What kinds of symbols
802
00:34:58,125 --> 00:34:59,833
were you seeing that
drew connections?
803
00:34:59,958 --> 00:35:02,167
Well, there's one in
particular that I have a photo of
804
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:04,292
that was, like... I
mean, it was obvious.
805
00:35:05,292 --> 00:35:06,750
So why don't I
show you the photo.
806
00:35:06,875 --> 00:35:08,375
We'll see what you think.
807
00:35:08,542 --> 00:35:11,208
These are the
carvings in the cave.
808
00:35:11,333 --> 00:35:12,851
You know, this is just
to give you an impression
809
00:35:12,875 --> 00:35:15,625
of what we're looking at
when we go down there.
810
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:17,125
Oh.
811
00:35:19,375 --> 00:35:22,125
This is the one
812
00:35:22,250 --> 00:35:24,667
that just jumped
right out at us.
813
00:35:25,708 --> 00:35:26,708
Oh...
814
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:27,833
Hmm.
815
00:35:28,917 --> 00:35:30,667
That's remarkable.
816
00:35:35,292 --> 00:35:37,167
Wow. That's stunning.
817
00:35:37,333 --> 00:35:39,125
If you look at that, you know,
818
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:40,792
there's the cross,
only in more detail.
819
00:35:40,917 --> 00:35:42,958
Mm.
820
00:35:43,042 --> 00:35:45,375
Yeah, looks like a match to me.
821
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:47,167
That's what I would say.
822
00:35:47,292 --> 00:35:49,500
In the war room, Marty
823
00:35:49,667 --> 00:35:52,750
and Alex Lagina, along
with Charles Barkhouse,
824
00:35:52,875 --> 00:35:56,292
have just shown Rick Lagina
and members of the team
825
00:35:56,375 --> 00:35:59,292
an image of a carved cross
located in Royston Cave,
826
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:01,958
a medieval site near
London, England,
827
00:36:02,083 --> 00:36:04,500
that many believe
to have once been
828
00:36:04,583 --> 00:36:06,917
a sacred meeting place
for the Knights Templar.
829
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:10,875
It's more likely than
not the Templars were in this cave
830
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,375
for part of its history.
831
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:14,458
Which makes that carving
832
00:36:14,542 --> 00:36:16,333
Templar-ish.
833
00:36:16,458 --> 00:36:18,167
And you couple that with Domme,
834
00:36:18,292 --> 00:36:21,000
and I think that lead cross
835
00:36:21,125 --> 00:36:22,833
has Templar origins.
836
00:36:25,375 --> 00:36:26,500
Royston Cave
837
00:36:26,583 --> 00:36:28,417
seemed to indicate
that there was
838
00:36:28,542 --> 00:36:30,792
some sort of Templar
connection to the mystery.
839
00:36:30,917 --> 00:36:32,958
They showed a carving
840
00:36:33,042 --> 00:36:36,583
that replicated the cross
Gary found in Smith's Cove.
841
00:36:36,708 --> 00:36:39,000
Of course, that
conjures up the time
842
00:36:39,125 --> 00:36:41,042
Peter and I and
Alex went to Domme.
843
00:36:41,208 --> 00:36:43,167
Are they similar? Yes.
844
00:36:43,333 --> 00:36:46,292
This could be quite huge.
845
00:36:46,375 --> 00:36:48,875
Now, does that mean they
were on Oak Island? No.
846
00:36:49,042 --> 00:36:53,333
But it brings me a lot further
along than, say, I had been
847
00:36:53,458 --> 00:36:55,625
- before I came here.
- Yeah.
848
00:36:55,750 --> 00:36:56,958
Yeah.
849
00:36:57,083 --> 00:36:59,667
There's also a date
850
00:36:59,792 --> 00:37:01,875
that's potentially
connected to Zena's map.
851
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,750
This is one of the remaining
bricks over that entrance.
852
00:37:07,208 --> 00:37:08,500
Oh.
853
00:37:08,625 --> 00:37:10,667
"1347."
854
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:14,208
That apparently is
the exact date on Zena's map.
855
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:17,208
It might be a
commemorative thing
856
00:37:17,375 --> 00:37:19,458
to denote, uh,
857
00:37:19,542 --> 00:37:21,000
when they might
have left the region.
858
00:37:23,208 --> 00:37:24,792
The date of 1347,
859
00:37:24,875 --> 00:37:28,167
that was closest to
making a connection
860
00:37:28,250 --> 00:37:29,667
between the Royston Cave,
861
00:37:29,792 --> 00:37:31,333
the Templars'
association with it
862
00:37:31,458 --> 00:37:33,042
and Zena's map.
863
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:35,208
So, here's the other thing.
864
00:37:35,333 --> 00:37:37,417
In the center of this image
865
00:37:37,542 --> 00:37:40,958
is what kind of
resembles a mermaid.
866
00:37:41,042 --> 00:37:42,833
See it?
867
00:37:42,958 --> 00:37:44,708
Interesting.
868
00:37:44,875 --> 00:37:46,315
Until Gretchen brought it up...
869
00:37:46,375 --> 00:37:48,042
I-I did not remember this...
870
00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:50,458
But when we were at
Rochefoucauld Castle,
871
00:37:50,542 --> 00:37:53,000
if you look at
their coat of arms,
872
00:37:53,167 --> 00:37:54,625
behind it is a mermaid.
873
00:37:57,708 --> 00:37:59,542
That was their main symbol.
874
00:37:59,708 --> 00:38:01,042
Yes.
875
00:38:01,167 --> 00:38:02,583
But it was Gretchen who said
876
00:38:02,708 --> 00:38:04,333
and showed us
the picture she took,
877
00:38:04,458 --> 00:38:06,125
and it is in the
seal of the, uh,
878
00:38:06,208 --> 00:38:07,500
- Rochefoucaulds.
- Yeah.
879
00:38:07,625 --> 00:38:10,458
What it somewhat reminds me of
880
00:38:10,542 --> 00:38:12,500
is that it kind of
looks like the fish
881
00:38:12,583 --> 00:38:14,542
at the bottom of the map.
882
00:38:17,375 --> 00:38:19,500
Could Rick Lagina be correct
883
00:38:19,583 --> 00:38:23,458
that the image of a possible
mermaid carved in Royston Cave
884
00:38:23,542 --> 00:38:26,792
is also depicted on the
believed 14th-century map
885
00:38:26,875 --> 00:38:30,917
that Zena Halpern
gave the team in 2016?
886
00:38:31,042 --> 00:38:34,750
If so, could it offer another
key piece of evidence
887
00:38:34,875 --> 00:38:37,333
that the Knights Templar
really were connected
888
00:38:37,458 --> 00:38:39,375
to the Oak Island mystery?
889
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:41,167
Uh, we'd like to
tell you a little bit
890
00:38:41,292 --> 00:38:42,625
about what happened at Kew.
891
00:38:42,708 --> 00:38:45,292
It-it appears that the...
892
00:38:45,375 --> 00:38:48,417
Duc d'Anville was up
to all kinds of things
893
00:38:48,542 --> 00:38:50,458
that are yet to be discovered.
894
00:38:51,583 --> 00:38:54,042
We're seeing
the Duc d'Anville made
895
00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:56,333
multiple journeys to the region,
896
00:38:56,458 --> 00:38:58,708
some earlier than we thought.
897
00:38:58,833 --> 00:39:02,250
There are
records of the interrogation
898
00:39:02,375 --> 00:39:05,125
of prisoners that
the British took,
899
00:39:05,250 --> 00:39:07,208
apparently trying to
extract data from them
900
00:39:07,333 --> 00:39:09,667
after the Duc
d'Anville expedition.
901
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:11,875
- Oh. Great.
- Wow.
902
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Very cool.
903
00:39:14,125 --> 00:39:16,583
This story is layered, and thus,
904
00:39:16,708 --> 00:39:19,417
the uncovering it or the
unraveling of the story
905
00:39:19,542 --> 00:39:21,375
is-is complicated as well.
906
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:23,167
But I think we've
got the people,
907
00:39:23,250 --> 00:39:25,292
- the science, the commitment...
- Yeah.
908
00:39:25,375 --> 00:39:28,458
To do that very
thing... unravel it.
909
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:30,309
And we couldn't do it
without everybody diving in,
910
00:39:30,333 --> 00:39:31,500
and you dove in.
911
00:39:31,583 --> 00:39:33,667
So, appreciate it. Certainly.
912
00:39:33,750 --> 00:39:35,000
Thank you.
913
00:39:35,167 --> 00:39:36,833
I have always said,
914
00:39:36,958 --> 00:39:40,417
the past 227 years
of digging and drilling
915
00:39:40,542 --> 00:39:43,625
has yet to solve the
Money Pit mystery.
916
00:39:43,708 --> 00:39:46,542
I think the information
hunt and research
917
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:48,583
is an important part
of the ongoing search
918
00:39:48,708 --> 00:39:50,500
for answers on Oak Island.
919
00:39:50,583 --> 00:39:53,375
We have been busy
here on the island, too.
920
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:55,375
Gary has been out and about.
921
00:39:55,542 --> 00:39:57,417
Yeah. Been grinding and finding.
922
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:01,167
Check that out, mate.
923
00:40:01,292 --> 00:40:03,625
We found another bobby-dazzler.
924
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,333
It's a piece of jewelry.
925
00:40:06,417 --> 00:40:08,375
- Oh.
- I believe it's, uh,
926
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:11,125
either a pin or a brooch.
927
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:13,500
And you know me, Marty...
928
00:40:13,667 --> 00:40:15,958
I don't get excited when
I find a bit of jewelry.
929
00:40:16,042 --> 00:40:19,708
- No, no.
- And we shouldn't really speculate,
930
00:40:19,833 --> 00:40:21,667
but it's treasure, baby!
931
00:40:23,875 --> 00:40:25,458
That's my man, Gary.
932
00:40:25,542 --> 00:40:27,500
Save a couple for
me to dig up, okay?
933
00:40:27,583 --> 00:40:29,167
-Uh, will do, mate. -All right.
934
00:40:29,292 --> 00:40:31,492
Well, on that note, we're
gonna go fight London traffic.
935
00:40:31,542 --> 00:40:32,875
Thank you, guys.
936
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,440
- Great meeting.
- All right. See ya.
937
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,083
Take care.
938
00:40:38,125 --> 00:40:40,583
As another week comes to a close
939
00:40:40,708 --> 00:40:42,875
for Rick, Marty and the team,
940
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,208
their efforts to
reveal the truth
941
00:40:45,375 --> 00:40:47,708
of what happened
long ago on Oak Island
942
00:40:47,833 --> 00:40:50,167
have once again been rewarded.
943
00:40:51,333 --> 00:40:53,500
Even though there
is much work ahead
944
00:40:53,667 --> 00:40:56,833
to find the undeniable
proof of who
945
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,292
and what lie at the center
of this 227-year-old mystery,
946
00:41:02,417 --> 00:41:05,667
one thing is certain:
947
00:41:05,792 --> 00:41:08,042
in order to reach
the ultimate answers,
948
00:41:08,208 --> 00:41:11,292
they will not only
dig on Oak Island...
949
00:41:11,375 --> 00:41:14,333
They will scour
the entire globe.
950
00:41:17,708 --> 00:41:20,417
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
951
00:41:20,542 --> 00:41:22,792
There's something
going on in the Garden Shaft.
952
00:41:22,875 --> 00:41:24,184
Oh, yeah, there we go. We
got something right there.
953
00:41:24,208 --> 00:41:25,792
Oh, wow, look.
954
00:41:25,875 --> 00:41:27,851
- What do you make of that?
- That's very odd.
955
00:41:27,875 --> 00:41:30,667
Ooh, this is what I'd class
as treasure.
956
00:41:30,750 --> 00:41:33,333
The roughness here,
it's 500 years old, at least.
957
00:41:33,458 --> 00:41:34,958
- Whew.
- Wow.
958
00:41:35,042 --> 00:41:36,583
There's a Canadian
mining company.
959
00:41:36,708 --> 00:41:38,875
They could come in
and open up the Garden Shaft.
960
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,333
Are we gonna be able to actually
go underground in that shaft?
961
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:43,738
- Yeah.
- That's fantastic.
962
00:41:43,833 --> 00:41:45,833
Brilliant.
963
