NARRATOR: Tonight on
2
00:00:03,542 --> 00:00:05,167
PETER ROMKEY:
What if somebody was trying
3
00:00:05,250 --> 00:00:07,167
to hide the evidence
of underground digging?
4
00:00:07,333 --> 00:00:09,083
Best place to put it would be
in the middle of a wall.
5
00:00:09,208 --> 00:00:11,875
-Rod's dropped.
-Here we go, Marty.
-Here we go.
6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,167
We've got to be close
to a tunnel or chamber.
7
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:16,125
-Drill's going in now.
-RON: Hold it.
8
00:00:16,208 --> 00:00:17,458
BRANDON VANDERHOOFT:
They hit something at 11 feet.
9
00:00:17,583 --> 00:00:19,458
That could be where
the treasure's hiding.
10
00:00:19,542 --> 00:00:21,125
-I detected gold.
-TERRY: Wow!
-MARTY: Wow!
11
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:23,458
-100%?
-Yeah.
-This is huge.
12
00:00:23,542 --> 00:00:27,125
-Well, there you go, guys!
-Yay.
-(laughing)

00:00:30,917 --> 00:00:34,167
NARRATOR:
There is an island
in the North Atlantic
14
00:00:34,292 --> 00:00:37,042
where people
have been looking for
15
00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:41,042
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
16
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,083
So far, they have found
a stone slab
17
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,333
with strange symbols
carved into it...
18
00:00:47,542 --> 00:00:50,500
...man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
19
00:00:50,667 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross
whose origin may be connected
20
00:00:55,167 --> 00:00:56,167
to the Knights Templar.
21
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,042
To date, six men have died
22
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:02,000
trying to solve the mystery.
23
00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:07,042
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
24
00:01:07,208 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.

27
00:01:23,458 --> 00:01:24,833
BRANDON V.:
Morning, Alex, Rick.
28
00:01:24,958 --> 00:01:26,250
-How're you doing?
-How's it going?
29
00:01:26,375 --> 00:01:28,000
Perfect timing.
We're just getting started
30
00:01:28,125 --> 00:01:30,000
-with the probe drill.
-Okey-doke.
-Cool.
31
00:01:30,125 --> 00:01:33,667
NARRATOR:
Every new day
on Oak Island begins with hope
32
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:35,833
and excitement for brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina,
33
00:01:35,958 --> 00:01:40,000
their partner Craig Tester
and the rest of their team.

RODNEY MACIVER:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Right there.
36
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:52,750
NARRATOR:
However, today has been
especially anticipated
37
00:01:52,875 --> 00:01:56,333
as it marks the beginning of
a new probe-drilling operation
38
00:01:56,458 --> 00:01:58,750
that will be conducted
from within the Garden Shaft
39
00:01:58,875 --> 00:02:02,333
by representatives
from Dumas Contracting Limited
40
00:02:02,458 --> 00:02:06,333
in order to look for valuables
just outside the structure.
41
00:02:06,417 --> 00:02:09,167
This dilapidated
80-foot-deep shaft--
42
00:02:09,250 --> 00:02:12,625
which is currently
being refurbished by Dumas--
43
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:15,333
has not only yielded
high-trace evidence of gold
44
00:02:15,417 --> 00:02:17,375
through water testing,
45
00:02:17,542 --> 00:02:19,667
but may also set
within mere feet
46
00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:22,333
of a possible
treasure chamber connected
47
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:24,333
to the original Money Pit.
48
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,667
MARTY:
It's exciting.
49
00:02:26,792 --> 00:02:30,167
I'm hoping for something very
substantial in the Garden Shaft.
50
00:02:30,333 --> 00:02:34,250
This is where the
treasure hunt actually begins.
51
00:02:34,375 --> 00:02:36,792
So, Brandon,
this is 55 feet, right?
52
00:02:36,875 --> 00:02:39,125
-Yes, sir.
-So, close to that depth
53
00:02:39,208 --> 00:02:42,167
when we were drilling,
we hit a void in this area.
54
00:02:42,292 --> 00:02:44,208
-So, just a heads-up.
-Wow. Heads-up?
55
00:02:44,375 --> 00:02:46,000
Surprise, surprise, man.
56
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:47,750
Surprise, surprise.
57
00:02:47,875 --> 00:02:50,375
How much you think we're missing
out of that last 30 feet?
58
00:02:50,542 --> 00:02:52,458
I'd say approximately ten feet.
59
00:02:52,583 --> 00:02:54,000
NARRATOR:
Earlier this summer,
60
00:02:54,083 --> 00:02:56,792
the team drilled
into a ten-foot-high void
61
00:02:56,917 --> 00:03:00,792
located several feet southwest
of the Garden Shaft.
62
00:03:00,875 --> 00:03:04,333
This could be the indication
of an offset chamber.
63
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:07,333
NARRATOR: A void
that Marty Lagina speculated
64
00:03:07,458 --> 00:03:11,917
may hold the fabled
Money Pit treasure vault.
65
00:03:12,042 --> 00:03:15,500
-RODNEY: All good.
Let's try her out.
-RON: Okay.
66
00:03:15,667 --> 00:03:18,042
-They're just lining up
and getting squared away.
-Okay.
67
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:23,500
NARRATOR:
Now, since Dumas has
reached a depth of 55 feet
68
00:03:23,583 --> 00:03:25,333
in the reconstruction
of the Garden Shaft,
69
00:03:25,417 --> 00:03:27,500
they are about to manually
70
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:29,917
probe-drill a number
of boreholes
71
00:03:30,042 --> 00:03:32,583
that will reach several feet
outside of the structure
72
00:03:32,708 --> 00:03:34,667
in the hopes
of reaching the void
73
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:37,625
and determining just
what it might contain.
74
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:40,833
If there is some sort
of connection here,
75
00:03:40,958 --> 00:03:43,667
-they need to know it,
and we need to know it.
-Mm-hmm.
76
00:03:43,792 --> 00:03:46,708
ALEX:
If we get lucky,
this will tell us.
77
00:03:47,875 --> 00:03:49,667
RICK:
The drill's going in now.
78
00:03:49,792 --> 00:03:53,000
-All right, brother,
we're in business.
-Yup.
79
00:03:53,125 --> 00:03:55,083
NARRATOR:
In order to probe-drill
80
00:03:55,208 --> 00:03:57,083
from within the Garden Shaft,
81
00:03:57,208 --> 00:04:01,417
the team from Dumas is using
a powerful hydraulic earth drill
82
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:05,667
equipped to penetrate
hard clay, sediment and rock.
83
00:04:05,833 --> 00:04:09,500
Although they are focused
on finding the nearby void,
84
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:12,333
they will drill a total
of three holes
85
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:16,000
in each of the shaft's
four walls, for a total of 12,
86
00:04:16,167 --> 00:04:19,500
at different angles in order
to look for further evidence
87
00:04:19,667 --> 00:04:23,583
of man-made workings
and potential valuables.
88
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:29,458
-RICK: You're grabbing
soil samples?
-Yes, sir.
89
00:04:29,542 --> 00:04:31,417
But the other thing is,
90
00:04:31,542 --> 00:04:33,167
-when you cut through
this tight lining...
-Yeah.
91
00:04:33,292 --> 00:04:35,333
-...the old tight lining...
-The wood?
92
00:04:35,458 --> 00:04:38,500
-Yes. I would like
that small piece on every hole.
-Yeah.
93
00:04:38,625 --> 00:04:40,500
I just want to put it in our XRF
94
00:04:40,625 --> 00:04:43,500
because we have detected
high gold values in the area.
95
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:45,708
-High gold values?
-Right.
96
00:04:45,833 --> 00:04:50,042
My thought was wood
would act like a sponge.
97
00:04:50,208 --> 00:04:52,500
If we test the outside
of the shaft,
98
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:55,417
we know the water samples are
indicating presence of gold.
99
00:04:55,542 --> 00:04:57,208
Well, certainly
the wood should, as well.
100
00:04:57,375 --> 00:04:58,833
We need to get busy.
101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,500
-Hi, guys.
-Hey, Charles.
102
00:05:00,583 --> 00:05:03,000
-Maybe our man
right here might know.
-Yeah.
103
00:05:03,167 --> 00:05:04,875
-CHARLES: I see
they're drilling right now.
-BRANDON V.: Yeah.
104
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,875
We're drilling from here.
This is where we started here.
105
00:05:07,042 --> 00:05:09,667
-Going clockwise.
-Okay.
106
00:05:09,792 --> 00:05:11,667
So, I'll tell you what, guys.
I-I'm very interested
107
00:05:11,792 --> 00:05:14,958
in these wood samples
and-and the soil samples.
108
00:05:15,042 --> 00:05:17,375
So, I'm going to head down
to the lab, bring them to Emma.
109
00:05:17,542 --> 00:05:19,833
-There you are, buddy.
It's all you.
-Yup, I'll take her all.
110
00:05:19,917 --> 00:05:21,458
-There you go.
-Okay. You guys are in charge.
-Yup.
111
00:05:21,583 --> 00:05:23,250
Anything comes up,
give me a call.
112
00:05:23,375 --> 00:05:24,875
-We'll keep you posted.
-Will do.
-Thank you.
113
00:05:25,042 --> 00:05:26,375
BRANDON V.: All right,
we'll see you in a bit.
114
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:28,583
-RICK: All right. See ya.
-ALEX: See ya.
115
00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:29,917
NARRATOR:
As the probe-drilling
operation continues
116
00:05:30,042 --> 00:05:31,750
in the Garden Shaft...
117
00:05:31,875 --> 00:05:35,417
MARTY: All right, Peter.
This is the target.
118
00:05:35,542 --> 00:05:38,875
Right here. That old girl.
119
00:05:39,042 --> 00:05:40,333
NARRATOR:
...on Lot 26,
120
00:05:40,458 --> 00:05:43,000
located on the western side
121
00:05:43,125 --> 00:05:46,792
of Oak Island, Marty Lagina,
122
00:05:46,917 --> 00:05:51,042
Jack Begley, and archaeologist
Laird Niven, arrive
123
00:05:51,167 --> 00:05:53,250
at a mysterious stone wall
124
00:05:53,375 --> 00:05:54,542
with forestry technician
Peter Romkey.
125
00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:56,333
LAIRD:
We're doing an excavation
126
00:05:56,458 --> 00:05:57,833
on the outside of the wall.
127
00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:01,292
So, having the tree grow
almost directly on top
128
00:06:01,375 --> 00:06:04,375
of the wall could help us say
that this wall
129
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:07,708
is at least...
this many years old.
130
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:11,875
If the tree predates
Samuel Ball's occupation,
131
00:06:12,042 --> 00:06:15,292
then it changes the significance
of the wall a lot.
132
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,167
MARTY:
It's at least
as old as the wall.
133
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,167
-Yes. Yeah.
-Yeah.
134
00:06:19,250 --> 00:06:21,500
LAIRD:
It's a really interesting area.
135
00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:23,917
We also have a well down there.
136
00:06:24,042 --> 00:06:25,500
ROMKEY:
Wow.
137
00:06:25,583 --> 00:06:27,833
NARRATOR:
Over the past several weeks,
138
00:06:27,958 --> 00:06:31,542
the team has been
investigating a stone well
139
00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:35,667
less than 100 feet away
from this mysterious stone wall.
140
00:06:35,833 --> 00:06:38,208
Because the well has
not only been dated
141
00:06:38,375 --> 00:06:40,417
to as early as the 11th century,
142
00:06:40,542 --> 00:06:43,667
but also contains
high trace evidence of silver,
143
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:45,667
the team wants to determine
144
00:06:45,792 --> 00:06:49,333
if the nearby stone wall
could be just as old,
145
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:51,042
and perhaps contain clues
146
00:06:51,167 --> 00:06:53,917
that might help solve
the Oak Island mystery.
147
00:06:54,042 --> 00:06:55,500
Yup.
148
00:06:55,667 --> 00:06:57,333
Any guesses before you proceed?
149
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:59,542
(laughing):
Okay. Let me have a look.
150
00:06:59,667 --> 00:07:01,708
-LAIRD: No pressure.
-ROMKEY: Yeah, he could...
151
00:07:01,833 --> 00:07:03,500
He could certainly be
hundreds of years old.
152
00:07:03,625 --> 00:07:05,333
-MARTY: Wow.
-ROMKEY: Yeah.
153
00:07:05,458 --> 00:07:07,625
-That would be interesting.
-Yup.
-Yeah.
154
00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:10,792
-Okay. Well, let's, uh,
let's bore a tree.
-MARTY: Okay.
155
00:07:10,875 --> 00:07:13,333
NARRATOR:
Now, the team has asked Peter
156
00:07:13,458 --> 00:07:16,542
to extract a core sample
of an adult oak tree
157
00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:19,250
that has grown up
through the stone wall
158
00:07:19,375 --> 00:07:21,333
in order to determine its age.
159
00:07:21,458 --> 00:07:23,667
So, what we're gonna do is we're
gonna drill this into the tree,
160
00:07:23,792 --> 00:07:25,667
-Mm-hmm.
-and extract
the, uh, the core
161
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:27,458
-once we bore it into the tree.
-Right. Okay.
162
00:07:27,542 --> 00:07:28,833
ROMKEY:
All right, let me pick a spot.
163
00:07:28,958 --> 00:07:30,500
Sure.
164
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:43,833
-(clicks)
-That's a good noise.
-MARTY: Yeah.
165
00:07:43,958 --> 00:07:45,667
It's nice and solid.
166
00:07:45,792 --> 00:07:50,167
MARTY:
The wall between Lots 26
and 27 is quite unique.
167
00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:51,875
If we know how old that tree is,
168
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,458
the stone wall was there
at least that long.
169
00:07:54,542 --> 00:07:56,583
Could've been there
much, much longer.
170
00:07:56,708 --> 00:07:58,500
So, it's well worth doing.
171
00:07:58,583 --> 00:08:01,333
And I slide the spoon in
very carefully,
172
00:08:01,417 --> 00:08:03,417
and it goes in
very hard sometimes.
173
00:08:03,542 --> 00:08:05,500
It's pretty good there.
174
00:08:05,583 --> 00:08:08,542
It's all the way in. (sighs)
175
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:11,583
Back it off one turn.
176
00:08:11,708 --> 00:08:14,500
-And then...
-MARTY: Hope for the best.
177
00:08:17,458 --> 00:08:19,583
All right, we've got some here.
178
00:08:22,375 --> 00:08:24,833
MARTY:
Well, that looks good.
That looks promising.
179
00:08:24,958 --> 00:08:27,958
We got a piece here
that we can have a look at.
180
00:08:28,042 --> 00:08:29,833
-MARTY: Good.
-Jack, you want
to take that down...
181
00:08:29,958 --> 00:08:31,667
-Yeah.
-...and I'll pull the bore out?
182
00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:34,042
NARRATOR:
Having extracted the core,
183
00:08:34,208 --> 00:08:37,375
Peter will analyze it
in a laboratory and count
184
00:08:37,542 --> 00:08:39,750
the circular features,
known as "tree rings,"
185
00:08:39,875 --> 00:08:42,583
to determine just how old
the tree is.
186
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:44,667
ROMKEY:
We can estimate the age
by counting the rings.
187
00:08:44,792 --> 00:08:47,625
-Can-can you see any in there?
-I can see a few, yeah.
188
00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:49,875
-Are they tight or...?
-Yeah, they're pretty tight.
189
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,667
MARTY:
I think you're gonna have
to take that back to the shop,
190
00:08:53,792 --> 00:08:56,042
clean that up to get... I mean,
191
00:08:56,167 --> 00:08:58,167
they-they look pretty tight
to me, which is good.
192
00:08:58,292 --> 00:09:02,000
That would give us the best data
we could... we could hope for.
193
00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:03,417
LAIRD:
Can't wait to see the results.
194
00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:05,375
ROMKEY:
Absolutely.
195
00:09:05,542 --> 00:09:07,833
Sounds great.
196
00:09:07,917 --> 00:09:10,250
NARRATOR:
As Marty, Jack, Laird
and Peter finish their work
197
00:09:10,375 --> 00:09:12,625
on Lot 26...
198
00:09:12,708 --> 00:09:15,500
-The next flag is back
in the bush.
-Okay.
199
00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:17,625
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina
200
00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:22,083
and metal detection expert
Gary Drayton arrive on Lot 4,
201
00:09:22,208 --> 00:09:27,000
also located on the western
side of the island.
202
00:09:27,083 --> 00:09:29,000
-(beeping)
-Ooh.
203
00:09:29,125 --> 00:09:31,625
Yeah, that sounds great.
204
00:09:32,708 --> 00:09:35,083
That's definitely
"come and get me" material.
205
00:09:36,292 --> 00:09:37,667
NARRATOR:
Earlier today,
206
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:40,250
while detecting
and flagging potential
207
00:09:40,375 --> 00:09:42,167
buried clues on Lot 5,
208
00:09:42,292 --> 00:09:44,708
where the team has
recently made a number
209
00:09:44,833 --> 00:09:46,667
of ancient discoveries,
210
00:09:46,833 --> 00:09:48,542
including
half of a Roman coin
211
00:09:48,667 --> 00:09:51,458
that is nearly
2,000 years old,
212
00:09:51,583 --> 00:09:55,542
Gary also identified
several targets on Lot 4.
213
00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:57,083
Okay. Let's see
if you got it out.
214
00:09:57,208 --> 00:09:58,667
(beeping)
215
00:09:58,792 --> 00:10:01,167
NARRATOR:
Now, after alerting Rick Lagina,
216
00:10:01,333 --> 00:10:03,250
they have returned together
217
00:10:03,375 --> 00:10:06,917
in order to find out just what
those flagged targets could be.
218
00:10:07,042 --> 00:10:08,500
-(rapid beeping)
-It's in my hand, mate.
219
00:10:08,583 --> 00:10:11,250
-This is my favorite time.
-(beeping)
220
00:10:13,292 --> 00:10:16,042
A shoe? The heel of a shoe?
221
00:10:16,167 --> 00:10:18,042
That's my guess-- it's a shoe.
You can see the little...
222
00:10:18,208 --> 00:10:19,792
Yeah, you can see
the little nails right there.
223
00:10:19,875 --> 00:10:21,833
GARY:
Yeah. Nail holes.
224
00:10:21,917 --> 00:10:25,083
Yeah, it's leather
and metal around there.
225
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:28,875
That toe tap around
the outside on the toes--
226
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,083
that's what they did
back in the day.
227
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:33,000
-It's normally a copper alloy.
-It is copper.
228
00:10:33,167 --> 00:10:36,167
-See the patina?
-Yeah, I see it. Green, mate.
229
00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:40,167
NARRATOR:
A leather and copper boot heel
found on Lot 4?
230
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:43,625
But who did it belong to?
231
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:45,667
And might it have been someone
232
00:10:45,833 --> 00:10:49,500
who visited Oak Island
prior to 1795?
233
00:10:49,625 --> 00:10:51,250
Brilliant find. I like it.
234
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:52,583
We got two chances of dating it
235
00:10:52,708 --> 00:10:55,167
with the leather and the metal.
236
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:57,042
-I'm going to bag it. Oh, well.
-I'd put it in a shoebox
237
00:10:57,208 --> 00:11:01,000
-if I were you.
-Ooh. I like that one.
238
00:11:01,125 --> 00:11:06,000
Wow. Lot 4...
producing again. All right.
239
00:11:06,125 --> 00:11:10,167
-And the next flag is
over here, mate.
-Okay.
240
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:13,167
Way back here.
241
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:17,167
All right.
242
00:11:17,250 --> 00:11:19,417
(beeping)
243
00:11:19,542 --> 00:11:23,625
Not too bad sounding, mate.
Right there.
244
00:11:25,917 --> 00:11:27,375
(grunts)
245
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:31,833
(beeping)
246
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:34,792
-Fingers crossed.
-(beeps)
247
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:39,667
GARY:-That's it.
248
00:11:39,792 --> 00:11:41,625
-Oh! Nice.
-Yeah, an axe.
249
00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:44,292
Oh! Dang.
250
00:11:44,417 --> 00:11:47,167
NARRATOR:
While searching
for clues on Lot 4--
251
00:11:47,292 --> 00:11:51,042
located on the western side
of Oak Island--
252
00:11:51,208 --> 00:11:53,208
Rick Lagina
and metal detection expert
253
00:11:53,375 --> 00:11:58,625
Gary Drayton have just made a
potentially important discovery.
254
00:11:58,750 --> 00:12:01,958
-GARY: That is a gorgeous
axe head.
-Mm-hmm.
255
00:12:02,042 --> 00:12:04,750
You can see it's hand-wrought.
See that?
256
00:12:04,875 --> 00:12:07,083
Yup, I do. Yeah.
257
00:12:07,208 --> 00:12:09,208
RICK:
We've never seen one
like that design, either.
258
00:12:09,375 --> 00:12:11,667
No. That's an oldie, as well.
259
00:12:11,792 --> 00:12:13,708
All the way back to Viking days.
260
00:12:13,875 --> 00:12:15,458
Vikings used to swing axes
261
00:12:15,583 --> 00:12:18,208
-that are very similar to this.
-Mm.
262
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:21,333
That is either a trade axe
or a ship's rigging axe,
263
00:12:21,458 --> 00:12:22,917
which makes sense.
264
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:24,833
We're not too far
from the shore.
265
00:12:24,917 --> 00:12:27,833
-To cut away the lines?
-Yeah.
266
00:12:27,958 --> 00:12:31,042
NARRATOR:
A hand-wrought rigging axe
from a ship?
267
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:35,500
But could Gary's notion
of its potential origin be true?
268
00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:36,875
(beeping)
269
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,583
-It's that.
-JACK: Whoa.
270
00:12:38,708 --> 00:12:41,333
Oh, yeah.
This is fantastic!
271
00:12:41,417 --> 00:12:43,875
NARRATOR:
Earlier this year
while searching Lot 8--
272
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,042
also on the western side
273
00:12:46,167 --> 00:12:48,458
of the island--
Gary and Jack Begley
274
00:12:48,583 --> 00:12:50,792
unearthed a metal artifact
275
00:12:50,917 --> 00:12:53,625
featuring mysterious
ornate symbols.
276
00:12:53,708 --> 00:12:57,958
The possibilities of such
an object coming to your island
277
00:12:58,083 --> 00:13:01,208
really increase
starting in the 1500s.
278
00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:03,125
NARRATOR:
And when renowned archaeologist
279
00:13:03,208 --> 00:13:06,500
Dr. Edwin Barnhart
examined the artifact,
280
00:13:06,625 --> 00:13:09,167
his analysis stunned the team.
281
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,833
It could be some sort
of older object.
282
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:14,375
The other possibility is...
the Vikings.
283
00:13:16,375 --> 00:13:18,917
There could be some friends
of this here.
284
00:13:19,042 --> 00:13:21,833
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that Gary and Rick
285
00:13:21,917 --> 00:13:25,333
have found a potentially
related artifact on Lot 4?
286
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:29,833
If so, how did they come
to be on Oak Island?
287
00:13:29,958 --> 00:13:32,625
And what might
their true connection be
288
00:13:32,708 --> 00:13:35,750
to the 228-year-old
treasure mystery?
289
00:13:35,875 --> 00:13:37,958
RICK:
There's a lot of information,
290
00:13:38,042 --> 00:13:40,292
a lot of artifacts
to be found in this area,
291
00:13:40,375 --> 00:13:42,458
and we're gonna do it,
and we're gonna do it
292
00:13:42,542 --> 00:13:44,125
in a very disciplined way.
293
00:13:44,208 --> 00:13:46,208
I want to make sure
we don't miss anything.
294
00:13:46,333 --> 00:13:50,292
-That's pretty cool.
-It bloody is, isn't it?
295
00:13:50,417 --> 00:13:54,917
This is exactly what I was
hoping that we would find here.
296
00:13:55,042 --> 00:13:56,958
RICK:
Okay. Now I'm excited.
297
00:13:57,083 --> 00:13:58,917
I want to find more.
298
00:13:59,042 --> 00:14:01,750
All right, mate. We'll bag this
for sure. You know what?
299
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:04,917
We're going to need
a bigger top pocket.
300
00:14:05,958 --> 00:14:07,958
And the next flag's over here.
301
00:14:08,042 --> 00:14:11,292
RICK:
There's probably
some surprises yet to find.
302
00:14:14,917 --> 00:14:17,375
NARRATOR:
The following morning...
303
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,958
RON:
All right. Yeah. We've got
18 inches on the last hole.
304
00:14:21,083 --> 00:14:22,667
NARRATOR:
...while the core-drilling
operation
305
00:14:22,792 --> 00:14:25,333
from within
the Garden Shaft continues
306
00:14:25,458 --> 00:14:27,542
-in the Money Pit area...
-RODNEY: We're doing good.
307
00:14:27,708 --> 00:14:29,917
RICK:
Hey, Peter, Laird.
308
00:14:30,042 --> 00:14:31,750
-Hey, Rick.
-Hello.
309
00:14:31,875 --> 00:14:34,042
-Uh, you both met Peter Romkey.
-Yup.
-Yup.
310
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:37,167
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina returns to Lot 26
311
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:40,083
with forestry technician
Peter Romkey
312
00:14:40,208 --> 00:14:42,083
to share information
with Laird Niven
313
00:14:42,208 --> 00:14:44,417
and Rick's nephew Peter Fornetti
314
00:14:44,542 --> 00:14:46,833
regarding
the mysterious stone wall.
315
00:14:46,958 --> 00:14:50,542
Peter has made an observation
about this wall.
316
00:14:50,708 --> 00:14:52,667
-Yup.
-Mm-hmm.
317
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:54,333
NARRATOR:
Although Peter is still awaiting
318
00:14:54,458 --> 00:14:56,292
the dating analysis
of the core he took
319
00:14:56,375 --> 00:14:59,125
from the large oak tree
one day ago,
320
00:14:59,250 --> 00:15:01,667
after spending the morning
321
00:15:01,750 --> 00:15:03,333
closely examining
the wall itself,
322
00:15:03,417 --> 00:15:07,667
he is eager to share a theory
about its possible construction.
323
00:15:07,833 --> 00:15:10,083
Peter, if you can impart to them
324
00:15:10,208 --> 00:15:13,125
-what your perceptions
were about the wall.
-Sure. Sure.
325
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:15,208
Well, my primary employment
was forestry,
326
00:15:15,375 --> 00:15:18,667
but I've always had
a real interest in-in stone,
327
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:20,917
and built a great deal
of walls myself.
328
00:15:21,042 --> 00:15:23,000
And some of the components
of the wall struck me.
329
00:15:23,125 --> 00:15:27,000
Just the way that the outside
rocks are sort of structured
330
00:15:27,125 --> 00:15:30,792
to-to lean in on a wall,
which is a classic way
331
00:15:30,917 --> 00:15:33,167
of holding a rubble wall
together.
332
00:15:33,292 --> 00:15:36,083
Almost more significant was
this, uh... this smaller rock
333
00:15:36,208 --> 00:15:38,250
that was at the bottom
of the wall.
334
00:15:38,375 --> 00:15:40,625
It was almost like it had
a foundation of small rocks.
335
00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:43,292
-Mm.
-And that would be, uh,
very similar to, uh,
336
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:45,958
uh, castles
and-and large structures
337
00:15:46,083 --> 00:15:47,958
that were built
in-in England and Scotland.
338
00:15:49,042 --> 00:15:51,250
They were all built
on rubble foundations
339
00:15:51,375 --> 00:15:53,500
where they excavated
below frost,
340
00:15:53,667 --> 00:15:55,167
filled it full of coarse gravel
341
00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:57,917
like this, and then built
the castle walls on top of it.
342
00:15:58,042 --> 00:16:00,000
So, it's rather interesting that
343
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:03,292
this wall seems to be put
together in that same fashion.
344
00:16:04,792 --> 00:16:06,333
-Yeah.
-RICK: You've just pointed out
345
00:16:06,417 --> 00:16:10,292
that how unique
this type of construct is.
346
00:16:10,417 --> 00:16:13,917
But that well feature there
is also unique
347
00:16:14,042 --> 00:16:16,542
because it, too,
is representative
348
00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:18,292
of this type of construct.
349
00:16:18,417 --> 00:16:22,333
But all the other wells on
the island are very different.
350
00:16:22,458 --> 00:16:26,833
They're stacked granite stone
about this big.
351
00:16:26,958 --> 00:16:28,125
Mm-hmm.
352
00:16:29,542 --> 00:16:32,000
NARRATOR:
Could Rick Lagina's speculation
353
00:16:32,083 --> 00:16:35,042
that the stone wall
might be related in some way
354
00:16:35,167 --> 00:16:36,708
to the nearby stone well,
355
00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:41,167
which may date as far back
as the 11th century, be correct?
356
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:44,917
People have been building wells
with this kind of technique
357
00:16:45,042 --> 00:16:46,875
for thousands of years.
358
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,542
NARRATOR:
One week ago,
359
00:16:48,667 --> 00:16:50,583
Terry Deveau, the president
360
00:16:50,708 --> 00:16:53,000
of the New England
Antiquities Association,
361
00:16:53,083 --> 00:16:54,958
examined the stone well
362
00:16:55,042 --> 00:16:57,750
and made
a startling observation.
363
00:16:57,875 --> 00:17:00,125
You know, the well that does
look a lot similar to that
364
00:17:00,208 --> 00:17:02,583
is the one at New Ross.
365
00:17:02,708 --> 00:17:05,000
-Go lower?
-RICK: Yep.
366
00:17:05,083 --> 00:17:06,500
It's very good clarity.
367
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:08,250
NARRATOR:
Terry believed that the well
368
00:17:08,375 --> 00:17:10,292
on Lot 26
369
00:17:10,417 --> 00:17:13,917
matched the design of one
found at a property
370
00:17:14,042 --> 00:17:16,542
located nearly 20 miles
north of Oak Island
371
00:17:16,667 --> 00:17:18,500
in the town of New Ross.
372
00:17:18,625 --> 00:17:21,625
A site where some
researchers believe
373
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:24,875
a fortress was built by members
of the Knights Templar,
374
00:17:25,042 --> 00:17:27,167
who brought sacred treasures
375
00:17:27,292 --> 00:17:29,167
to the New World from Scotland
376
00:17:29,292 --> 00:17:31,000
more than seven centuries ago
377
00:17:31,167 --> 00:17:33,458
and buried them on Oak Island.
378
00:17:34,958 --> 00:17:36,500
So, there is another part
of this wall
379
00:17:36,625 --> 00:17:37,708
that I'd like to show you.
380
00:17:37,833 --> 00:17:38,875
-Great.
-Just down here.
381
00:17:39,042 --> 00:17:40,292
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
382
00:17:40,375 --> 00:17:42,583
that Peter Romkey is correct,
383
00:17:42,708 --> 00:17:45,375
that the stone wall on Lot 26
384
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:48,333
may be of a medieval
Scottish design?
385
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,208
And if so, could it offer
more evidence
386
00:17:51,333 --> 00:17:53,000
that the Templar order
387
00:17:53,083 --> 00:17:56,125
was connected
to the Oak Island mystery?
388
00:17:56,250 --> 00:17:58,958
So, one of the fundamentals
of, uh,
389
00:17:59,042 --> 00:18:01,667
dry-stone wall laying
and any stone wall laying
390
00:18:01,792 --> 00:18:04,167
is the principle of
one-over-two, two-over-one.
391
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:05,750
And when I looked at this
little bit of a wall,
392
00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:08,000
you can see this construction
393
00:18:08,083 --> 00:18:10,583
is very purposeful,
so you can see here:
394
00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:13,167
one rock over these two.
395
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:15,875
Two rocks over this one.
396
00:18:16,042 --> 00:18:19,625
One rock here over these two.
397
00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:21,333
And there'll always be
little anomalies.
398
00:18:21,458 --> 00:18:23,000
There might be
three rocks over one.
399
00:18:23,125 --> 00:18:25,417
But you can see that it's,
uh, it's certainly
400
00:18:25,542 --> 00:18:28,333
been laid by somebody
who knows how to build a wall.
401
00:18:28,458 --> 00:18:30,583
But the wall was to be used.
402
00:18:30,708 --> 00:18:33,958
It wasn't just a border.
It wasn't just a boundary. It...
403
00:18:34,042 --> 00:18:36,167
There's an implied use.
404
00:18:36,292 --> 00:18:40,208
If you want to make something
strong and stable,
405
00:18:40,375 --> 00:18:42,125
there's a reason
for that, right?
406
00:18:42,208 --> 00:18:44,125
-ROMKEY: Absolutely.
-What is the reason?
407
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:46,417
I-I don't know.
I don't know why.
408
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:49,417
Maybe it was people who were
more experienced with those
409
00:18:49,542 --> 00:18:51,583
kinds of construction projects
that were here.
410
00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:53,708
RICK:
The other thing
you might want to know, Peter,
411
00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:57,167
is Mr. Blankenship thought
it was weird, over here on 24.
412
00:18:57,333 --> 00:18:59,375
Right on the surface,
413
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:01,875
-there is a bunch of this.
-Mm.
414
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,458
RICK:
Right at surface.
415
00:19:03,583 --> 00:19:05,542
And he thought maybe it was
a dumping ground
416
00:19:05,667 --> 00:19:08,625
-from tunneling
processes, right?
-Right.
417
00:19:08,708 --> 00:19:11,083
So, I struggle with
an explanation for this.
418
00:19:11,208 --> 00:19:12,625
-I really do.
-LAIRD: Yeah.
419
00:19:16,708 --> 00:19:19,000
ROMKEY: What if somebody
was trying to hide
420
00:19:19,083 --> 00:19:21,333
the evidence
of underground digging?
421
00:19:21,417 --> 00:19:23,750
Best place to put it would be
in the middle of a wall.
422
00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:29,458
NARRATOR: On Lot 26,
forestry technician Peter Romkey
423
00:19:29,583 --> 00:19:32,667
has just made
a startling suggestion
424
00:19:32,792 --> 00:19:35,417
to Rick Lagina and members
of the Oak Island team.
425
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:40,167
It is his belief
that the stone wall on Lot 26
426
00:19:40,292 --> 00:19:42,250
may have been built with rocks
427
00:19:42,375 --> 00:19:45,417
that were excavated during
the construction of a tunnel.
428
00:19:45,542 --> 00:19:48,042
You know, it's, uh,
it certainly is interesting.
429
00:19:48,208 --> 00:19:50,208
RICK:
The thought on Peter's part
430
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:52,167
was it would've been
an easy way to hide
431
00:19:52,292 --> 00:19:54,625
any sort of tunneling attempts.
432
00:19:54,708 --> 00:19:57,417
You take the spoils
from the tunnels,
433
00:19:57,542 --> 00:19:59,625
and you cast them about
on the land,
434
00:19:59,750 --> 00:20:01,542
and it's possible
435
00:20:01,708 --> 00:20:05,792
that that same rubble
was introduced into this wall.
436
00:20:05,917 --> 00:20:08,458
-It's phenomenal.
-Absolutely.
437
00:20:08,583 --> 00:20:12,250
I totally agree with you.
This was a purposeful build
438
00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:15,500
by an experienced hand,
but to what end?
439
00:20:15,667 --> 00:20:18,500
Sounds like Laird needs
to find an artifact.
440
00:20:18,625 --> 00:20:19,333
I've been trying.
441
00:20:19,417 --> 00:20:20,958
It sounds like you need
442
00:20:21,083 --> 00:20:22,583
-to move more stone.
-(laughter)
443
00:20:22,708 --> 00:20:24,292
PETER:
Oh, boy.
444
00:20:24,375 --> 00:20:26,208
RICK:
Peter, thank you.
445
00:20:26,333 --> 00:20:29,333
We'll know more
when you date the trees.
446
00:20:33,208 --> 00:20:34,833
NARRATOR:
The following morning...
447
00:20:34,958 --> 00:20:36,583
CHARLES:
Hey, Brandon.
448
00:20:37,833 --> 00:20:39,167
Hey, Charles.
449
00:20:39,292 --> 00:20:40,167
NARRATOR:
...Oak Island historian
450
00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:41,917
Charles Barkhouse arrives
451
00:20:42,042 --> 00:20:43,458
in the Money Pit area
452
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:46,625
for an update
on the exploratory probe
453
00:20:46,708 --> 00:20:49,500
drilling operation
being conducted at a depth
454
00:20:49,625 --> 00:20:52,167
of 55 feet
in the Garden Shaft
455
00:20:52,292 --> 00:20:55,292
in an effort to reach
a mysterious void
456
00:20:55,417 --> 00:20:57,500
that the team discovered
earlier this year
457
00:20:57,667 --> 00:21:00,250
just west of the structure.
458
00:21:00,375 --> 00:21:02,625
I'm kind of anxious
to see where we are.
459
00:21:02,708 --> 00:21:04,417
NARRATOR:
Now that representatives
460
00:21:04,542 --> 00:21:08,000
from Dumas have completed
11 holes at this level,
461
00:21:08,125 --> 00:21:10,333
or set, they are about to start
462
00:21:10,458 --> 00:21:13,208
their 12th and final
probe-drilling effort
463
00:21:13,375 --> 00:21:15,333
before they cease this operation
464
00:21:15,458 --> 00:21:17,458
in order to begin reconstruction
465
00:21:17,542 --> 00:21:20,167
on the next level of the shaft.
466
00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:21,833
The boys are just
getting ready to fire it up.
467
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,792
-Okay.
-Ronnie, Mack,
how're you making out?
468
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:31,917
All right, let's fire it up
and get to work.
469
00:21:32,042 --> 00:21:33,792
Should be good to go.
470
00:21:36,375 --> 00:21:37,917
BRANDON V.: We're just drilling
on the west wall.
471
00:21:38,042 --> 00:21:39,625
Okay.
472
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:41,208
This is our last hole there
and then we're pulling
473
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:42,542
the drill out. That's the plan.
474
00:21:46,542 --> 00:21:48,750
CHARLES:
No surprises yet,
other than the rocks?
475
00:21:48,875 --> 00:21:50,167
No-no voids?
476
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:51,542
-No water? Anything?
-No. Nothing.
477
00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:52,667
Everything's been pretty good.
478
00:21:52,833 --> 00:21:54,167
Good.
479
00:21:54,333 --> 00:21:56,417
They're on their
third rod there now.
480
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:14,417
They hit an obstruction
in the hole there.
481
00:22:30,167 --> 00:22:32,167
They hit something at 11 feet.
482
00:22:32,292 --> 00:22:33,458
-Something solid. Yeah.
-Oh, did they?
483
00:22:33,583 --> 00:22:35,125
On this last hole,
484
00:22:35,208 --> 00:22:36,333
they hit
some kind of obstruction.
485
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,542
What it is, I'm not sure yet.
486
00:22:38,708 --> 00:22:40,458
But they're gonna probably
advance another rod
487
00:22:40,583 --> 00:22:42,875
-and try to keep going
through it.
-CHARLES: Okay.
488
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,708
You know, one of the
challenging things facing Dumas
489
00:22:44,833 --> 00:22:47,208
in their probe drilling
is identifying
490
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,833
what-what they're,
what they're hitting.
491
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,167
I mean, it could be a rock.
It could be something else.
492
00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:52,292
So, they don't have
any idea what it is yet?
493
00:22:52,417 --> 00:22:54,125
No, no.
494
00:22:54,250 --> 00:22:55,292
CHARLES:
So, we just have to wait to see
495
00:22:55,375 --> 00:22:57,708
what may be below there.
496
00:23:00,375 --> 00:23:02,333
-There he goes, he's going.
-Yeah.
497
00:23:04,292 --> 00:23:05,458
RODNEY:
Yeah.
498
00:23:13,833 --> 00:23:16,000
Right now,
they're bouncing on it.
499
00:23:20,833 --> 00:23:22,208
RON:
That was no fun at all.
500
00:23:22,333 --> 00:23:25,292
So, I'm gonna grab,
uh, the bucket.
501
00:23:25,375 --> 00:23:28,375
I'm going to grab
a sample of that.
502
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:30,042
How far did you end up
getting in there, Mack?
503
00:23:35,542 --> 00:23:37,000
-They-they stopped her dead.
-Yeah.
504
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:38,500
There's a big rock there.
505
00:23:38,625 --> 00:23:41,458
-CHARLES: It's frustrating.
-Yeah.
506
00:23:43,083 --> 00:23:45,167
NARRATOR:
Brandon Vanderhooft's report
that no signs
507
00:23:45,292 --> 00:23:49,000
of human activity have been
found outside the Garden Shaft
508
00:23:49,083 --> 00:23:52,792
at the 55-foot depth
is disappointing news
509
00:23:52,917 --> 00:23:55,458
given the known void
that the team has encountered
510
00:23:55,542 --> 00:23:56,917
in the nearby area.
511
00:23:58,542 --> 00:24:00,000
Very good, Rodney.
512
00:24:00,167 --> 00:24:01,667
NARRATOR:
However, since trace evidence
513
00:24:01,792 --> 00:24:03,625
of gold has been detected
514
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:05,917
in the water within
the Garden Shaft itself...
515
00:24:08,875 --> 00:24:11,708
NARRATOR:
...could it be that the team
simply must dig deeper
516
00:24:11,833 --> 00:24:13,500
in order to make
the breakthrough discovery
517
00:24:13,667 --> 00:24:15,500
they are hoping for?
518
00:24:15,667 --> 00:24:18,667
There's a story at the bottom
of this-this shaft for sure.
519
00:24:22,542 --> 00:24:25,833
-Very good. Excuse me.
-Okay.
520
00:24:25,958 --> 00:24:28,208
NARRATOR:
Although the team
from Dumas will collect
521
00:24:28,375 --> 00:24:31,667
more wood and soil samples
so that they can be tested
522
00:24:31,792 --> 00:24:34,958
for signs of possible
precious metals...
523
00:24:35,042 --> 00:24:36,667
...they will now cease
probe drilling,
524
00:24:36,792 --> 00:24:38,833
and continue with reconstructing
525
00:24:38,958 --> 00:24:42,708
the next eight-foot level,
or set, in the Garden Shaft.
526
00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:46,167
RICK:
You know, certainly
it's disappointing that we've
527
00:24:46,250 --> 00:24:49,583
not found any cavities or voids
behind the original structure.
528
00:24:53,167 --> 00:24:55,875
RICK:
We're hoping to find something
worthy of investigating,
529
00:24:56,042 --> 00:24:58,167
so you keep going.
530
00:24:58,333 --> 00:25:00,125
Hey, Brandon.
531
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:02,583
-Hey, buddy. Got the samples
back from hole number 12.
-Oh.
532
00:25:06,542 --> 00:25:07,625
Okay. Excellent.
533
00:25:07,708 --> 00:25:09,792
That's your soil sample
534
00:25:09,917 --> 00:25:12,042
-right there.
-CHARLES: You know what?
535
00:25:12,167 --> 00:25:13,792
I'm gonna take these samples
and get them back to the lab.
536
00:25:13,917 --> 00:25:15,083
They can start working
on them right away.
537
00:25:15,208 --> 00:25:16,792
Attaboy. Okay, buddy.
538
00:25:16,917 --> 00:25:18,833
CHARLES:
Okay. Thank you.
539
00:25:18,917 --> 00:25:21,125
NARRATOR: As the team from
Dumas Contracting Limited
540
00:25:21,250 --> 00:25:23,875
continues their work
on the Garden Shaft...
541
00:25:26,917 --> 00:25:28,708
...later that afternoon...
542
00:25:28,833 --> 00:25:30,625
-STEVE: Hey, guys.
-MARTY: Hey, guys.
543
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:32,833
It looks like they've let up
now. We're just back at it.
544
00:25:32,958 --> 00:25:35,333
NARRATOR:
Marty and Alex Lagina arrive
545
00:25:35,417 --> 00:25:37,333
at the Money Pit area.
546
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,458
The next hole is DN-10.5.
547
00:25:39,583 --> 00:25:42,792
-I have high hopes for this
being meaningful somehow.
-Yes.
548
00:25:42,917 --> 00:25:45,250
NARRATOR:
Because the probe
drilling operation
549
00:25:45,375 --> 00:25:49,000
did not yield any new clues
at the 55-foot level
550
00:25:49,083 --> 00:25:50,292
in the Garden Shaft...
551
00:25:50,375 --> 00:25:52,417
TEDFORD:
Okay, let's go.
552
00:25:52,542 --> 00:25:55,167
NARRATOR:
...the team is drilling
a new borehole known as
553
00:25:55,292 --> 00:25:57,000
DN-10.5.
554
00:25:57,083 --> 00:26:00,500
A borehole located
just 30 feet west
555
00:26:00,625 --> 00:26:02,125
of the Garden Shaft,
556
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:06,875
in a 20-by-20-foot area
known as "The Baby Blob."
557
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,500
It is within this zone
that recent water testing
558
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:13,125
has suggested
a large source of gold
559
00:26:13,208 --> 00:26:17,167
may lie buried between
a depth of 80 and 120 feet.
560
00:26:17,292 --> 00:26:18,833
And what we're looking for
here is a continuation
561
00:26:18,917 --> 00:26:20,625
of the tunnel that appears to be
562
00:26:20,708 --> 00:26:22,125
under the Garden Shaft.
563
00:26:22,958 --> 00:26:25,917
NARRATOR:
In recent weeks,
the team has encountered
564
00:26:26,042 --> 00:26:28,875
a believed tunnel
at a depth of some 90 feet
565
00:26:29,042 --> 00:26:32,208
in three separate boreholes
that has not only yielded
566
00:26:32,333 --> 00:26:35,292
high-trace evidence of gold
during water testing,
567
00:26:35,375 --> 00:26:37,458
but also appears to be running
568
00:26:37,542 --> 00:26:39,625
directly below the Garden Shaft.
569
00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:41,583
-Cross your fingers.
-Here's hoping.
570
00:26:41,708 --> 00:26:44,083
MARTY:
I have extremely high hopes
571
00:26:44,208 --> 00:26:46,167
for this whole little area,
this treasure area,
572
00:26:46,292 --> 00:26:47,250
the Baby Blob.
573
00:26:47,375 --> 00:26:48,542
Last year, we found
574
00:26:48,667 --> 00:26:49,667
gold and silver in the water.
575
00:26:49,833 --> 00:26:52,500
We tasked two good scientists
576
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:54,542
with saying,
"Narrow it down for us, please."
577
00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:55,958
We did a lot of testing.
578
00:26:56,042 --> 00:26:58,500
The scientists say--
Dr. Spooner,
579
00:26:58,583 --> 00:27:00,833
Dr. Michael-- "It's in
this very small area."
580
00:27:02,417 --> 00:27:03,792
ALEX:
The core is coming.
581
00:27:03,875 --> 00:27:04,875
TERRY:
Here we go.
582
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,875
-What do we got?
-All right.
583
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,875
-So, that's 89 feet.
-89.
584
00:27:10,042 --> 00:27:11,625
After we cased, the rods dropped
585
00:27:11,708 --> 00:27:13,792
down to 89 and a half,
which is a good sign.
586
00:27:13,875 --> 00:27:15,792
It means it's softening up
down there.
587
00:27:15,917 --> 00:27:18,042
-That is a good sign.
-Thank you.
588
00:27:18,167 --> 00:27:19,500
-MARTY: Right at
the right depth, too.
-The right depth.
589
00:27:19,625 --> 00:27:20,833
TERRY:
Absolutely. Perfect.
590
00:27:20,958 --> 00:27:22,625
NARRATOR:
An opening, or void?
591
00:27:22,708 --> 00:27:25,042
At a depth of nearly 90 feet?
592
00:27:25,167 --> 00:27:26,375
Is it possible that
593
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:28,208
the Oak Island team has found
594
00:27:28,333 --> 00:27:31,250
more evidence of a tunnel
in the believed treasure zone...
595
00:27:31,375 --> 00:27:32,667
Here we go.
596
00:27:32,833 --> 00:27:34,208
NARRATOR:
...which also may run
597
00:27:34,375 --> 00:27:36,625
directly underneath
the Garden Shaft?
598
00:27:37,708 --> 00:27:38,750
CRAIG:
Here we go.
599
00:27:41,708 --> 00:27:43,167
It's a little bit soft.
600
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:50,292
Yeah, you get that when
you're close to a structure.
601
00:27:55,292 --> 00:27:58,083
DN-10.5 looks like it could
yield up a few mysteries here.
602
00:27:58,208 --> 00:27:59,042
ALEX:
Hey.
603
00:27:59,167 --> 00:28:00,208
STEVE:
Hey, Rick.
604
00:28:00,375 --> 00:28:01,958
-What is this?
-We're at 90 feet
605
00:28:02,042 --> 00:28:04,167
basically and the last foot,
it dropped a little bit.
606
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:06,125
TERRY: The rods fell a foot,
so that bodes
607
00:28:06,208 --> 00:28:08,417
very well for us being
in the structure.
608
00:28:08,542 --> 00:28:12,042
NARRATOR:
It is an exciting moment
in the Money Pit area,
609
00:28:12,208 --> 00:28:15,750
as the team has encountered
a mysterious void at a depth
610
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:19,667
of 90 feet in borehole DN-10.5.
611
00:28:19,792 --> 00:28:23,458
A borehole just 30 feet west
of the Garden Shaft,
612
00:28:23,583 --> 00:28:28,125
located in the Baby Blob,
or believed treasure zone.
613
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:30,583
MARTY: All right, well,
let's hope something
614
00:28:30,708 --> 00:28:32,333
anomalous happens here.
615
00:28:32,417 --> 00:28:34,000
-Yeah.
-TERRY: We've got to be
close to a structure,
616
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:36,750
due to softness.
We're only five feet away
617
00:28:36,875 --> 00:28:38,667
from a hit of a fairly
substantial tunnel.
618
00:28:38,792 --> 00:28:40,292
We'll see.
619
00:28:41,542 --> 00:28:43,542
TERRY:
Okay, guys.
It looks like they're peeling
620
00:28:43,708 --> 00:28:44,833
another one off for us.
621
00:28:49,542 --> 00:28:51,000
What do you got, Colten?
622
00:28:51,125 --> 00:28:53,083
-That's 99 feet.
-TERRY: Thank you.
623
00:28:57,542 --> 00:29:00,042
I mean, I don't see any
little chips or chunks of wood.
624
00:29:00,208 --> 00:29:02,042
MARTY:
So, we sort of
just missed, probably.
625
00:29:02,208 --> 00:29:05,000
Yeah, I would say based on this,
Marty, we just missed.
626
00:29:05,125 --> 00:29:06,833
So, a near miss
is-is very likely.
627
00:29:06,958 --> 00:29:08,833
And that soft area there
628
00:29:08,917 --> 00:29:11,667
speaks to us of being close
to a structure.
629
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:14,750
Well, how deep
will this core be?
630
00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:17,000
99 to 109 will be
the next stroke.
631
00:29:17,167 --> 00:29:19,708
Well, we took that other one
deeper, didn't we?
632
00:29:19,833 --> 00:29:21,167
The last one?
633
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:22,750
Uh, we took it to 120.
634
00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:24,500
-Yeah.
-RICK: How many times
635
00:29:24,625 --> 00:29:26,542
in the Money Pit have we
said to ourselves,
636
00:29:26,708 --> 00:29:29,500
"If only we had gone deeper"?
637
00:29:29,583 --> 00:29:31,833
NARRATOR:
Although the team
has not found evidence
638
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,333
of the tunnel that they
have recently encountered
639
00:29:34,458 --> 00:29:36,000
in this area,
640
00:29:36,083 --> 00:29:38,292
since they may be close
to a structure,
641
00:29:38,375 --> 00:29:40,792
and because
the believed treasure zone
642
00:29:40,875 --> 00:29:43,958
extends down
to the 120-foot level,
643
00:29:44,083 --> 00:29:47,875
could they still be on course
for a major discovery?
644
00:29:48,042 --> 00:29:50,875
RICK:
We might as well
go two more runs.
645
00:29:51,042 --> 00:29:53,208
-We call it at 120. Okay.
-Yep.
646
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:55,500
NARRATOR:
As the core drilling operation
647
00:29:55,667 --> 00:29:59,875
in borehole DN-10.5 continues
in the Money Pit area...
648
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,667
ALEX:
Hey, guys. What do you think?
649
00:30:02,750 --> 00:30:04,375
I'm looking at walls
differently now.
650
00:30:04,542 --> 00:30:06,375
-Right.
-And I think we've learned
a lot from it.
651
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,208
-Yeah, there's been
some strange things about it.
-Yeah.
652
00:30:09,333 --> 00:30:10,667
And I'm surprised
at how many questions
653
00:30:10,792 --> 00:30:11,708
we haven't been able
to answer yet.
654
00:30:11,875 --> 00:30:14,167
Yes. Yeah, that is a surprise.
655
00:30:14,292 --> 00:30:17,625
NARRATOR:
...Alex Lagina
arrives on Lot 26,
656
00:30:17,708 --> 00:30:21,875
where he joins archaeologists
Laird Niven and Miriam Amirault
657
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,458
to help them investigate
the stone wall.
658
00:30:24,542 --> 00:30:28,000
I'm glad we listened to Rick
because he tagged this
659
00:30:28,083 --> 00:30:29,500
-as not being
like any other wall.
-MIRIAM: Mm-hmm.
660
00:30:29,667 --> 00:30:31,042
-Mm-hmm.
-MIRIAM: And maybe this area
661
00:30:31,167 --> 00:30:33,500
has more importance than others.
662
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:34,792
LAIRD:
That's what Rick thinks.
663
00:30:34,875 --> 00:30:35,583
-Okay.
-I mean, look at those.
664
00:30:35,708 --> 00:30:37,000
He may be right.
665
00:30:37,083 --> 00:30:37,917
NARRATOR:
While they are still
666
00:30:38,042 --> 00:30:39,792
awaiting the tree-coring results
667
00:30:39,917 --> 00:30:42,000
conducted two days ago,
668
00:30:42,167 --> 00:30:45,083
which may help date
when the wall was constructed,
669
00:30:45,208 --> 00:30:48,375
Laird has decided
to continue methodically
670
00:30:48,542 --> 00:30:49,917
excavating a section of the wall
671
00:30:50,042 --> 00:30:52,375
in order to search for important
672
00:30:52,542 --> 00:30:54,833
and potentially valuable clues.
673
00:30:54,917 --> 00:30:56,333
So, I think the plan for today
674
00:30:56,417 --> 00:30:58,958
is probably start
675
00:30:59,083 --> 00:31:00,708
-where that large rock is...
-Mm-hmm.
676
00:31:00,833 --> 00:31:02,083
...and take that end off.
677
00:31:02,208 --> 00:31:03,500
-Okay.
-ALEX: All righty.
678
00:31:03,667 --> 00:31:04,708
MIRIAM:
We are doing
679
00:31:04,875 --> 00:31:06,375
a cross section of the wall.
680
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:08,000
So, basically,
we're taking it apart
681
00:31:08,125 --> 00:31:10,000
to determine how it was built,
682
00:31:10,167 --> 00:31:11,917
as well as to see
if we can find some artifacts
683
00:31:12,042 --> 00:31:13,708
that can help us date it.
684
00:31:13,833 --> 00:31:15,750
ALEX:
You want to do the edge, yeah?
685
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:18,458
-Yeah, I think so.
-Okay, we'll work our way
towards you, maybe.
686
00:31:18,542 --> 00:31:21,000
-Yeah.
-Okay.
687
00:31:21,083 --> 00:31:23,292
Leaves can go wherever.
688
00:31:23,417 --> 00:31:25,542
MIRIAM:
Leaves, go away.
689
00:31:25,667 --> 00:31:26,958
LAIRD:
And one thing Rick noticed,
690
00:31:27,042 --> 00:31:28,500
this is the rubble fill,
691
00:31:28,625 --> 00:31:31,000
they're putting
these smaller rocks to support
692
00:31:31,125 --> 00:31:32,958
-these other rocks...
-Yeah.
693
00:31:33,083 --> 00:31:35,292
-...which is a deliberate act
in his mind.
-Mm-hmm.
694
00:31:35,417 --> 00:31:39,333
LAIRD:
I would just keep your eye out
for any unusual rock, too.
695
00:31:40,333 --> 00:31:42,292
This isn't a field stone.
This is
696
00:31:42,417 --> 00:31:45,333
-coming from probably the shore.
-Mm-hmm.
697
00:31:45,417 --> 00:31:47,750
And it shatters.
It's broken off, so
698
00:31:47,875 --> 00:31:49,667
that's what's perplexing to us.
What...
699
00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:52,042
What were they doing?
Why is this here?
700
00:31:52,208 --> 00:31:53,000
Yeah.
701
00:31:53,125 --> 00:31:54,500
ALEX:
The unusual thing
702
00:31:54,625 --> 00:31:56,000
about this wall is that there's
703
00:31:56,083 --> 00:31:57,417
part of it that looks
like the stones
704
00:31:57,542 --> 00:31:59,083
were actually shaped
705
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:00,625
and cut. This is really
the only place
706
00:32:00,708 --> 00:32:01,875
on the island that we see this.
707
00:32:02,042 --> 00:32:04,167
As we take this wall apart,
708
00:32:04,292 --> 00:32:05,958
we'll kind of go back
through time,
709
00:32:06,042 --> 00:32:07,667
and as we get
to the base of the wall,
710
00:32:07,792 --> 00:32:09,833
that's where we have the best
chance of finding artifacts
711
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,500
from when it was constructed.
712
00:32:11,625 --> 00:32:13,958
I mean, you can kind of see
how much more work it is
713
00:32:14,083 --> 00:32:16,292
to make this,
based on how many more
714
00:32:16,375 --> 00:32:18,542
scoops we have to take,
to take it apart.
715
00:32:18,708 --> 00:32:21,667
-Yeah. Mm.
-Each handful is only
like two rocks.
716
00:32:23,833 --> 00:32:25,333
See that?
717
00:32:25,458 --> 00:32:26,792
Yeah.
718
00:32:26,875 --> 00:32:28,500
LAIRD:
That's worked.
719
00:32:28,625 --> 00:32:30,167
That's been knocked off.
720
00:32:30,333 --> 00:32:32,167
If that stone is worked, why?
721
00:32:32,292 --> 00:32:33,667
-Yeah.
-ALEX: There's no other
worked stone around here.
722
00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:35,000
LAIRD:
Yeah.
723
00:32:35,083 --> 00:32:36,833
-That's red granite.
-ALEX: Yeah.
724
00:32:36,917 --> 00:32:38,458
Do you think that
that cut piece,
725
00:32:38,542 --> 00:32:41,125
the worked piece was
deliberately cut to go there?
726
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:42,833
LAIRD:
It was done
for some other purpose
727
00:32:42,917 --> 00:32:44,375
and made its way in here.
728
00:32:44,542 --> 00:32:46,250
ALEX:
What I find interesting
about that is
729
00:32:46,375 --> 00:32:48,125
it was split off
of something deliberately.
730
00:32:48,208 --> 00:32:50,042
-We don't see that stone.
-LAIRD: No.
731
00:32:53,958 --> 00:32:55,583
ALEX: The Kingdom Stone.
That was red granite.
732
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:57,375
-Right.
-ALEX: If that stone
was placed there,
733
00:32:57,542 --> 00:33:00,375
what better place
to hide the rest of it
734
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:01,833
-than in a stone wall here?
-Hmm.
735
00:33:01,958 --> 00:33:03,667
NARRATOR:
On Lot 26,
736
00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:05,667
Alex Lagina has just noticed
737
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:07,875
a potentially important clue
738
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,750
while investigating
the stone wall
739
00:33:09,875 --> 00:33:13,708
with archaeologists
Laird Niven and Miriam Amirault.
740
00:33:13,875 --> 00:33:16,958
We investigated
the Nolan's Cross theory
741
00:33:17,042 --> 00:33:19,375
that that represents
the Kabbalistic tree of life.
742
00:33:19,542 --> 00:33:21,333
-LAIRD: Right.
-It's got all these points,
and we investigated
743
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,625
-with Petter Amundsen,
the Kingdom Stone.
-LAIRD: Mm-hmm.
744
00:33:25,208 --> 00:33:28,542
-PETTER: This is Nolan's Cross.
-MARTY: Good.
745
00:33:28,667 --> 00:33:30,500
NARRATOR:
In 2013,
746
00:33:30,625 --> 00:33:33,083
Norwegian researcher
and filmmaker,
747
00:33:33,208 --> 00:33:36,583
Petter Amundsen presented
the team his incredible theory
748
00:33:36,708 --> 00:33:38,958
that the megalithic formation
of six boulders,
749
00:33:39,042 --> 00:33:41,375
known as Nolan's Cross,
750
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:44,000
included four additional
smaller stones
751
00:33:44,083 --> 00:33:45,958
called sephirot,
752
00:33:46,083 --> 00:33:48,125
that were used to form
753
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:51,333
an ancient Kabbalistic symbol -
known as the tree of life,
754
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,750
which has often been
connected to the ancient
755
00:33:54,875 --> 00:33:58,708
religious and military order
known as the Knights Templar.
756
00:33:58,833 --> 00:34:01,000
The geometry indicates
757
00:34:01,083 --> 00:34:04,542
that we are talking
about a tree of life.
758
00:34:04,708 --> 00:34:08,250
NARRATOR:
According to Petter's theory,
the man-made feature
759
00:34:08,375 --> 00:34:11,750
represented evidence that
priceless, religious treasures
760
00:34:11,875 --> 00:34:15,417
of the Templar order
were buried on Oak Island.
761
00:34:15,542 --> 00:34:16,875
Is this it here?
762
00:34:17,042 --> 00:34:19,167
Yeah. This is it. Good.
763
00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:20,917
NARRATOR:
And in an effort to prove
764
00:34:21,042 --> 00:34:23,125
his research
to the Oak Island team,
765
00:34:23,208 --> 00:34:25,833
he took Marty
and Alex Lagina out
766
00:34:25,958 --> 00:34:28,125
to Lot 30, where they uncovered
767
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:32,000
one of the sephirot,
known as the Kingdom Stone.
768
00:34:32,125 --> 00:34:33,667
Yeah. Here it comes. Oh.
769
00:34:33,792 --> 00:34:35,625
ALEX:
Well, the stone itself
is interesting
770
00:34:35,708 --> 00:34:38,708
because you'd think there'd be
the other half of it somewhere.
771
00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:42,167
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Alex,
772
00:34:42,333 --> 00:34:44,542
Laird, and Miriam have found
773
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:47,667
a missing piece
of the so-called Kingdom Stone
774
00:34:47,792 --> 00:34:50,500
hidden in the wall on Lot 26?
775
00:34:50,625 --> 00:34:55,000
If so, could that mean that
whoever built this feature
776
00:34:55,125 --> 00:34:56,833
also created Nolan's Cross
777
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,750
and the Tree of Life formation
on the island as well?
778
00:35:00,875 --> 00:35:03,708
Out here on the island, in order
to figure this thing out,
779
00:35:03,875 --> 00:35:08,208
we have to go down these avenues
of thought and remember them
780
00:35:08,333 --> 00:35:11,208
for later because it wouldn't
be the first time that something
781
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:15,333
we did years ago turns out to be
relevant as we're digging today.
782
00:35:15,458 --> 00:35:18,333
LAIRD:
It's very strange.
783
00:35:18,458 --> 00:35:21,083
At the time, I thought
it was naturally split,
784
00:35:21,208 --> 00:35:24,250
but it was split,
and the other half of it
785
00:35:24,375 --> 00:35:26,167
-was nowhere to be found.
-LAIRD: Right.
786
00:35:26,292 --> 00:35:27,417
ALEX:
But I think that's interesting
787
00:35:27,542 --> 00:35:29,333
that we're finding
these offcuts,
788
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:31,042
-but not the stone
that they came from.
-LAIRD: Yeah.
789
00:35:31,208 --> 00:35:33,000
ALEX:
We're getting
a lot of really small,
790
00:35:33,125 --> 00:35:35,167
broken up fragments of rock.
791
00:35:35,292 --> 00:35:37,458
Maybe this is
a piece of the Kingdom Stone.
792
00:35:37,542 --> 00:35:40,333
If the stone wall predates
the discovery of the Money Pit,
793
00:35:40,458 --> 00:35:41,833
there could be
a connection there.
794
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
LAIRD:
It is interesting because
795
00:35:43,083 --> 00:35:44,458
granite is not easy to work.
796
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:46,875
-ALEX: Mm-hmm.
-It takes some ex-expertise.
797
00:35:47,042 --> 00:35:49,500
I think so.
It's-it's also worth recording.
798
00:35:49,583 --> 00:35:51,250
-LAIRD: Yeah.
-ALEX: But if we're seeing signs
799
00:35:51,375 --> 00:35:53,875
of shaped stone here that
correspond to the boulders
800
00:35:54,042 --> 00:35:55,458
we found at those points,
then maybe
801
00:35:55,583 --> 00:35:57,458
that adds a little bit
more weight to that theory.
802
00:35:57,542 --> 00:35:59,167
LAIRD:
Cool. This is exactly
803
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:01,083
what Rick wants us to find.
804
00:36:01,208 --> 00:36:02,167
ALEX:
So, finally, we got one.
805
00:36:02,250 --> 00:36:03,750
LAIRD:
We do it.
806
00:36:03,875 --> 00:36:04,833
-Cool.
-(Miriam chuckles)
807
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,583
ALEX:
Well done.
808
00:36:06,708 --> 00:36:08,125
MIRIAM: No, it's a great find.
That's awesome.
809
00:36:08,208 --> 00:36:10,833
NARRATOR:
Later that afternoon...
810
00:36:10,958 --> 00:36:12,625
IAN:
Hello.
811
00:36:12,708 --> 00:36:14,417
Hello, Doc.
812
00:36:14,542 --> 00:36:15,833
-Hey, Ian, how're you doing?
-Good to see you.
813
00:36:15,958 --> 00:36:17,333
It's everybody.
814
00:36:17,458 --> 00:36:19,292
-We got enough guys here now?
-(laughter)
815
00:36:19,375 --> 00:36:21,000
NARRATOR:
...Rick and Marty Lagina
816
00:36:21,167 --> 00:36:22,958
arrive in the Money Pit area
817
00:36:23,042 --> 00:36:27,708
as the core drilling
operation in borehole DN-10.5
818
00:36:27,833 --> 00:36:30,375
has proceeded deeper
into the target depths
819
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,333
of the believed treasure zone.
820
00:36:32,458 --> 00:36:34,625
What've we got
coming next, Terry?
821
00:36:34,708 --> 00:36:36,792
TERRY:
It looks like they're
pulling it up right now.
822
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:38,292
It's gonna be interesting.
823
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:40,000
We're getting very close
to target horizon.
824
00:36:40,125 --> 00:36:41,167
Yeah.
825
00:36:41,292 --> 00:36:43,292
-120 feet.
-Thank you.
826
00:36:43,375 --> 00:36:44,708
Yeah, it's pretty stiff
the whole way down.
827
00:36:44,875 --> 00:36:45,708
CRAIG:
Okay.
828
00:36:49,708 --> 00:36:50,958
TERRY:
Interesting.
829
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,917
Firm. Very dense,
830
00:36:54,042 --> 00:36:56,042
maroon till.
831
00:36:56,208 --> 00:36:58,375
-Yeah.
-Same old, same old.
832
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:00,500
TERRY:
It is still
the same old, same old.
833
00:37:00,625 --> 00:37:03,000
And, at this point,
we're the closest
834
00:37:03,125 --> 00:37:06,167
we are gonna be with this run
to what we hope to hit.
835
00:37:06,292 --> 00:37:07,833
And I don't see
any wood right there.
836
00:37:07,958 --> 00:37:09,458
We didn't, we didn't hit it.
837
00:37:15,958 --> 00:37:20,167
RICK:
You know, every search agenda
that we try to follow,
838
00:37:20,250 --> 00:37:22,625
it's disappointing
when you can't prove it.
839
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:25,083
But you have to let
the process continue.
840
00:37:25,208 --> 00:37:27,375
-Hello.
-Oh, look who's here.
841
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:29,500
-Gang's all here.
-The gang's all here.
842
00:37:29,625 --> 00:37:30,958
-Come on in.
-Come on in.
843
00:37:31,042 --> 00:37:32,125
Oh, my God, it's a crowd.
844
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:33,250
Hello. How're you doing? Please.
845
00:37:33,375 --> 00:37:35,500
Emma's got some news.
846
00:37:35,583 --> 00:37:37,792
-So, you guys gave me these.
-Right.
847
00:37:37,875 --> 00:37:39,375
This piece right here,
'cause it's small,
848
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:41,833
I could do a map scan of it.
849
00:37:41,917 --> 00:37:43,625
What-what-what is that?
850
00:37:43,750 --> 00:37:45,083
EMMA:
That's the Garden Shaft
inner lining that--
851
00:37:45,208 --> 00:37:46,292
the wood pieces.
852
00:37:46,417 --> 00:37:48,833
-The original shaft.
-Yeah.
853
00:37:48,917 --> 00:37:51,542
And from this one,
854
00:37:51,667 --> 00:37:54,500
I detected gold.
855
00:37:55,667 --> 00:37:56,625
Wow.
856
00:37:57,625 --> 00:37:59,917
IAN:
This is huge.
857
00:38:03,667 --> 00:38:06,042
From this one, I detected gold.
858
00:38:06,167 --> 00:38:07,167
-MARTY: Wow.
-To confirm your theories.
859
00:38:07,292 --> 00:38:08,417
Gold?
860
00:38:08,542 --> 00:38:09,500
-Gold, yeah.
-Yeah.
861
00:38:09,625 --> 00:38:11,292
-Gold in the wood?
-Yeah.
862
00:38:11,417 --> 00:38:12,667
-Wow. That's wild.
-TERRY: Wow.
863
00:38:12,792 --> 00:38:14,458
NARRATOR:
In the Money Pit area,
864
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:16,125
archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan
865
00:38:16,208 --> 00:38:19,167
has just shared
some astonishing news.
866
00:38:19,292 --> 00:38:20,708
Yeah, I confirmed it.
867
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:23,500
I had to make sure,
but there's definite gold, yeah.
868
00:38:23,667 --> 00:38:26,333
NARRATOR:
The wood samples
extracted two days ago,
869
00:38:26,458 --> 00:38:30,042
from a depth of 55 feet
inside the Garden Shaft,
870
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:32,583
contain high-trace
evidence of gold.
871
00:38:32,708 --> 00:38:36,375
What degree of accuracy
do you believe that to be?
872
00:38:36,542 --> 00:38:38,750
This one's accurate.
873
00:38:38,875 --> 00:38:40,125
-MARTY: 100%?
-Yeah.
874
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:42,042
Well, there you go, guys.
875
00:38:42,167 --> 00:38:44,417
And it's adhered
to the organic material?
876
00:38:44,542 --> 00:38:45,708
-The wood?
-EMMA: Yeah.
877
00:38:45,875 --> 00:38:48,167
0.11%, so it's 0.1,
878
00:38:48,292 --> 00:38:49,792
but still, that is enough.
879
00:38:49,917 --> 00:38:52,208
-This is huge.
-Isn't that like a big number?
880
00:38:52,375 --> 00:38:54,500
That's a big number for my--
in my book,
881
00:38:54,667 --> 00:38:56,333
-that's a big number.
-It is 'cause it's
882
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:57,750
a lot of parts per billion.
883
00:38:57,875 --> 00:39:00,917
So, I mean, all we can do
is continue, like,
884
00:39:01,042 --> 00:39:04,958
with the water to cross-check,
like, check other samples,
885
00:39:05,042 --> 00:39:06,875
see if we can duplicate.
886
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
This girl can find gold.
887
00:39:08,125 --> 00:39:10,042
That's a superpower around here.
888
00:39:10,167 --> 00:39:11,625
(laughter)
889
00:39:11,708 --> 00:39:14,000
The results are incredible,
890
00:39:14,083 --> 00:39:18,167
fantastic, gob-smacking,
to use one of Gary's terms.
891
00:39:18,292 --> 00:39:20,250
ALEX: That's huge, isn't it?
That's a lot.
892
00:39:20,375 --> 00:39:22,500
-Pretty big, like, significant.
-Yeah.
893
00:39:22,625 --> 00:39:24,000
MARTY:
We could be close
to the actual treasure.
894
00:39:24,125 --> 00:39:26,458
We've got a little bit
of time to pull it all
895
00:39:26,542 --> 00:39:28,208
together, and we're
896
00:39:28,333 --> 00:39:29,833
gonna work together to do that.
897
00:39:29,917 --> 00:39:32,042
That's where we are right now.
I'm hopeful.
898
00:39:32,167 --> 00:39:33,667
RICK:
We've always said that,
899
00:39:33,792 --> 00:39:35,875
you know, science
had to be a real component
900
00:39:36,042 --> 00:39:37,458
of this search, and now,
901
00:39:37,542 --> 00:39:40,125
this analysis
is incredibly invigorating.
902
00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:41,375
Look at the smiles
around the table.
903
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:43,167
I mean, everybody's smiling, so
904
00:39:43,292 --> 00:39:44,917
it's-it's a great component,
905
00:39:45,042 --> 00:39:46,292
and we always said that
906
00:39:46,375 --> 00:39:48,417
this shaft would provide
a unique opportunity
907
00:39:48,542 --> 00:39:49,958
if we were humble enough
908
00:39:50,042 --> 00:39:51,458
and smart enough to learn
909
00:39:51,542 --> 00:39:53,667
from lost opportunities, right?
910
00:39:53,792 --> 00:39:55,167
-Yeah.
-RICK: But, anyway,
911
00:39:55,250 --> 00:39:56,792
I think we all owe Emma
912
00:39:56,917 --> 00:39:59,333
-a round of applause actually.
-Oh, God.
913
00:39:59,458 --> 00:40:01,042
(applause)
914
00:40:01,167 --> 00:40:04,042
TERRY: You find gold
around here, you get applause.
915
00:40:04,208 --> 00:40:05,500
(laughter)
916
00:40:05,625 --> 00:40:06,833
Well, thank you
for bringing the news.
917
00:40:06,958 --> 00:40:08,333
We appreciate it.
918
00:40:08,458 --> 00:40:10,917
It's all good news and
the search for the truth.
919
00:40:11,042 --> 00:40:13,208
MARTY:
Absolutely. Find us some more.
920
00:40:13,333 --> 00:40:16,917
-(laughter)
-TOM: Yeah, more gold.
921
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:21,708
NARRATOR:
After more than a decade
of searching for the answers
922
00:40:21,833 --> 00:40:26,708
to the 228-year-old
Oak Island mystery,
923
00:40:26,833 --> 00:40:30,417
Rick and Marty Lagina
may be closing in
924
00:40:30,542 --> 00:40:33,042
on a discovery that
they have dreamed about
925
00:40:33,167 --> 00:40:36,667
since they were just boys
growing up in Northern Michigan.
926
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,875
Although there is still
much work to be done,
927
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,167
and many more clues
928
00:40:44,250 --> 00:40:46,750
that must be uncovered,
929
00:40:46,875 --> 00:40:50,667
thanks to the efforts
of the Fellowship of the Dig,
930
00:40:50,792 --> 00:40:53,333
the days that
Oak Island's secrets
931
00:40:53,458 --> 00:40:56,375
remain hidden may finally
932
00:40:56,542 --> 00:40:59,417
be numbered.
933
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,958
Next time on
The Curse of Oak Island...
934
00:41:04,083 --> 00:41:05,958
RICK:
We're following
the trail of the gold.
935
00:41:06,083 --> 00:41:08,208
MARTY:
A highly unusual source
of gold here.
936
00:41:08,333 --> 00:41:09,375
Hey, look at this.
937
00:41:09,542 --> 00:41:10,792
LAIRD:
Nice.
938
00:41:10,875 --> 00:41:11,917
If you can get
a date off of that,
939
00:41:12,042 --> 00:41:13,208
you could date this wall.
940
00:41:13,375 --> 00:41:17,042
We're talking
about 1650 to about 1690.
941
00:41:17,208 --> 00:41:18,542
RICK:
Come on in, Bill.
942
00:41:18,667 --> 00:41:20,667
We're digging up a hidden well.
943
00:41:20,792 --> 00:41:22,083
-(beeping)
-Oh, look at that.
944
00:41:22,208 --> 00:41:23,958
That's fantastic!
945
00:41:24,083 --> 00:41:26,250
There's definitely
higher counts of gold here.
946
00:41:26,375 --> 00:41:27,542
That's exciting.
947
00:41:27,708 --> 00:41:29,333
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
