1
00:00:00,789 --> 00:00:03,462
Tonight, on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,542 --> 00:00:06,167
We're coming
in to the cavity now.
3
00:00:06,333 --> 00:00:08,417
- There's a linear feature right there.
- Whoa!
4
00:00:08,583 --> 00:00:09,587
It looks like a
hallway or a tunnel.
5
00:00:09,667 --> 00:00:11,125
Wow.
6
00:00:11,208 --> 00:00:12,833
Helen, I think
I found something.
7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,125
That indicates marine activity.
8
00:00:15,292 --> 00:00:16,708
Yeah, it's really interesting.
9
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:19,583
Do you have any
idea what that is?
10
00:00:20,667 --> 00:00:21,667
What?
11
00:00:21,875 --> 00:00:22,962
I tapped into a cavern
12
00:00:23,042 --> 00:00:24,417
from the side of my shaft.
13
00:00:24,583 --> 00:00:26,500
This could be an offset chamber.
14
00:00:26,708 --> 00:00:28,125
Yeah.
15
00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,375
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
16
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
17
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:41,000
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
18
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,042
So far, they have
found a stone slab
19
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,250
with strange symbols
carved into it...
20
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:50,417
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
21
00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
22
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:56,125
to the Knights Templar.
23
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,000
To date, six men have died
24
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,833
trying to solve the mystery.
25
00:01:01,958 --> 00:01:07,000
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
26
00:01:07,208 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.
27
00:01:24,542 --> 00:01:26,167
Look at the water coming in.
28
00:01:26,375 --> 00:01:28,000
Yeah, that's quite a bit.
29
00:01:28,125 --> 00:01:30,083
Here's the water.
30
00:01:30,208 --> 00:01:32,292
A new day
has arrived on Oak Island
31
00:01:32,417 --> 00:01:34,542
for brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina
32
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:37,458
- and their team.
- Where's that coming from, Roger?
33
00:01:37,625 --> 00:01:39,167
Right now, it's
coming from the walls,
34
00:01:39,375 --> 00:01:41,333
so it's coming down
between our tight lining.
35
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,128
- Is that the bottom?
- Yeah, and it's just referring
36
00:01:43,208 --> 00:01:44,208
right back to the bottom.
37
00:01:44,333 --> 00:01:46,417
But unlike most
38
00:01:46,583 --> 00:01:49,000
that begin with new
search activities in the hopes
39
00:01:49,167 --> 00:01:52,792
of solving a 228-year-old
treasure mystery,
40
00:01:52,917 --> 00:01:56,500
today, they must first contend
with a sobering setback
41
00:01:56,667 --> 00:01:58,417
in the Money Pit area.
42
00:01:58,583 --> 00:02:02,167
We were all
talking about all this water.
43
00:02:02,292 --> 00:02:04,792
Like, I know we had tons of
rain and-and it sure didn't help.
44
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,667
We just found it excessive.
45
00:02:06,875 --> 00:02:08,955
- Yeah, I would be concerned about it.
- Yeah.
46
00:02:11,583 --> 00:02:13,875
Following a
recent torrential rainstorm,
47
00:02:14,042 --> 00:02:16,833
which battered the southern
region of Nova Scotia,
48
00:02:17,042 --> 00:02:20,875
something that may not
be related to Mother Nature,
49
00:02:21,042 --> 00:02:22,833
triggered a constant
flow of water
50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,167
to enter the Garden Shaft
at a depth of some 66 feet.
51
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:30,333
30 feet of water
didn't fall in that area.
52
00:02:30,542 --> 00:02:31,875
-No. -Only ten inches did.
53
00:02:32,042 --> 00:02:34,000
- That's right.
- Is that deep enough
54
00:02:34,208 --> 00:02:35,833
to be the flood tunnel?
55
00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:40,545
Whether or
not the source of the water
56
00:02:40,625 --> 00:02:43,583
is related to one of the
legendary flood tunnels
57
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:46,708
that have plagued searchers
for more than two centuries,
58
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:49,833
it has halted the
team's current operation
59
00:02:50,042 --> 00:02:51,500
to deepen the Garden Shaft
60
00:02:51,667 --> 00:02:54,708
beyond its current
depth of 87 feet,
61
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:58,125
down to a target
depth of nearly 100 feet.
62
00:02:58,292 --> 00:03:01,667
It is there where the
team hopes to breach
63
00:03:01,833 --> 00:03:04,167
a mysterious
seven-foot-high tunnel.
64
00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:07,792
One that leads due west
toward the Baby Blob,
65
00:03:07,917 --> 00:03:11,167
an area where high-trace
evidence of gold,
66
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:14,417
silver and other metals
have been detected
67
00:03:14,583 --> 00:03:18,917
between 80 and
120 feet underground.
68
00:03:19,958 --> 00:03:23,125
Last year, almost no
water was coming into the shaft.
69
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:25,500
This year, it appears
to be pouring in.
70
00:03:25,667 --> 00:03:28,333
We have to figure out what's
going on with the Garden Shaft.
71
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:31,125
Could this actually
be the flood tunnel
72
00:03:31,292 --> 00:03:33,167
that's causing our
problems? I don't know.
73
00:03:33,333 --> 00:03:34,833
That's what we're
here to find out
74
00:03:34,958 --> 00:03:37,917
because we could be
that close to the treasure.
75
00:03:38,958 --> 00:03:40,753
Are they pumping right
now? They're pumping it out?
76
00:03:40,833 --> 00:03:42,295
Yeah, that's
what they're doing right now.
77
00:03:42,375 --> 00:03:43,208
They're lowering the
pump and we're going to see
78
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:45,500
where the sediment's at.
79
00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:47,128
So, we started drilling a
bunch of holes in there.
80
00:03:47,208 --> 00:03:48,768
Probe holes to see
if there's, you know,
81
00:03:48,875 --> 00:03:50,462
is there anything out there
that we're not aware of?
82
00:03:50,542 --> 00:03:52,542
And we did find some voids.
83
00:03:52,708 --> 00:03:55,167
- Really?
- Yeah. For sure.
84
00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:57,128
So, it could be a
flood tunnel. We don't know.
85
00:03:57,208 --> 00:03:58,462
- Yeah.
- Well, I'll tell you what.
86
00:03:58,542 --> 00:04:00,083
We can sit here
and guess all day
87
00:04:00,292 --> 00:04:02,212
where the water's coming
from, but let's stop it.
88
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,625
Yeah. My biggest concern
is stopping this water.
89
00:04:04,792 --> 00:04:06,125
Yeah.
90
00:04:06,292 --> 00:04:07,378
You're going to do it
today? The urethane?
91
00:04:07,458 --> 00:04:08,833
It won't be today.
92
00:04:09,042 --> 00:04:10,837
What we're going to do
right now is kind of define drill,
93
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:13,333
find out exactly where that
void is going, where it is.
94
00:04:13,458 --> 00:04:15,333
And then we're
gonna probably look at
95
00:04:15,458 --> 00:04:16,778
getting all these
cavities filled,
96
00:04:16,875 --> 00:04:19,042
hopefully stopping
this water completely.
97
00:04:19,208 --> 00:04:20,625
Okay.
98
00:04:20,792 --> 00:04:22,250
In an attempt to stop
99
00:04:22,375 --> 00:04:24,167
the inflow of water,
100
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:27,375
representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited
101
00:04:27,583 --> 00:04:29,875
will use the exploratory
holes they have drilled
102
00:04:30,042 --> 00:04:33,000
to fill the mysterious
voids outside of the shaft
103
00:04:33,208 --> 00:04:35,125
with multi-urethane,
104
00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:37,542
an industrial-grade compound
105
00:04:37,708 --> 00:04:41,625
that expands in order
to seal off open spaces.
106
00:04:42,875 --> 00:04:44,545
The goal is to
extend the Garden Shaft
107
00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:47,750
to the top of the
previously unknown tunnel,
108
00:04:47,917 --> 00:04:51,333
and with 700 gallons an
hour coming in on that shaft,
109
00:04:51,542 --> 00:04:53,167
there is no way
that's going to happen.
110
00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:56,292
This presents
some difficult issues,
111
00:04:56,458 --> 00:04:58,125
and they have to be resolved.
112
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:01,500
We cannot accomplish
the goal unless
113
00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:05,083
we stop the water from
intruding into the shaft.
114
00:05:05,208 --> 00:05:07,083
So, once we seal all this
115
00:05:07,208 --> 00:05:08,750
and everything is
foamed up and solid,
116
00:05:08,917 --> 00:05:10,833
then we get down there,
we start digging again.
117
00:05:11,042 --> 00:05:13,833
Our number one focus
is get down in that shaft.
118
00:05:13,958 --> 00:05:15,878
Good deal. Roger, look,
I'll be keenly interested
119
00:05:16,042 --> 00:05:16,875
to see how that turns out.
120
00:05:17,042 --> 00:05:18,292
I'll keep you posted.
121
00:05:18,458 --> 00:05:19,542
- Please do.
- Absolutely.
122
00:05:19,708 --> 00:05:21,458
Okay. Carry on, Roger.
123
00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:23,000
Right on. Thanks, guys.
124
00:05:23,208 --> 00:05:24,708
As the team from Dumas
125
00:05:24,875 --> 00:05:27,958
continues their work
in the Garden Shaft...
126
00:05:28,167 --> 00:05:30,000
That's a lot of water.
127
00:05:30,208 --> 00:05:32,875
Yeah, we had
a crazy amount of rain.
128
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:34,523
We had about nine
inches in 12 hours.
129
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:35,667
Yep.
130
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:37,625
On Lot 5,
131
00:05:37,792 --> 00:05:40,333
located on the western
side of the island...
132
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,042
Hopefully,
133
00:05:42,167 --> 00:05:43,920
once we get it pumped
out, it'll start to dry up.
134
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,208
Peter Fornetti, lead
archaeologist Laird Niven
135
00:05:47,375 --> 00:05:50,208
and other members
of the team arrive
136
00:05:50,375 --> 00:05:52,208
at the mysterious
circular structure
137
00:05:52,375 --> 00:05:54,458
near the shoreline
to assess its condition
138
00:05:54,625 --> 00:05:56,500
following the recent storm.
139
00:05:56,667 --> 00:05:58,833
I think we'll be able
to still work up here.
140
00:05:59,042 --> 00:06:00,667
I hope so, yeah.
141
00:06:00,792 --> 00:06:02,708
All right. So, let's
take the tarp off.
142
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:03,875
Yeah. Works for me.
143
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,333
Let's do it.
144
00:06:05,542 --> 00:06:07,625
Although this feature
145
00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:09,667
sits nearly a mile from
the Money Pit area,
146
00:06:09,833 --> 00:06:12,333
it has yielded a number of clues
147
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,375
suggesting that it
may also be critical
148
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:17,333
to solving the Oak
Island mystery.
149
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,583
There we go.
150
00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:23,375
After finding
a lead barter token last year
151
00:06:23,542 --> 00:06:25,583
near the outer rim,
and which may be
152
00:06:25,792 --> 00:06:28,833
directly connected to the
14th-century lead cross
153
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,125
that was found in
2017 at Smith's Cove...
154
00:06:33,292 --> 00:06:34,875
Okay. What is this?
155
00:06:35,042 --> 00:06:36,333
What is it?
156
00:06:36,542 --> 00:06:37,167
- My God.
- That looks like
157
00:06:37,333 --> 00:06:38,167
the handle of something.
158
00:06:38,292 --> 00:06:39,667
In recent weeks,
159
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:43,000
the team has discovered
three metal artifacts
160
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:46,833
within the structure that
have been scientifically linked
161
00:06:47,042 --> 00:06:50,500
to the 17th-century English
politician and privateer
162
00:06:50,583 --> 00:06:52,583
Sir William Phips,
163
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:56,417
a man who some believe
buried a vast cache
164
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:59,125
of Spanish gold and
silver in the Money Pit
165
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:01,458
back in 1687.
166
00:07:01,583 --> 00:07:04,583
And curiously, after conducting
167
00:07:04,792 --> 00:07:07,500
a magnetometry scan
of the immediate area,
168
00:07:07,708 --> 00:07:11,167
the team found evidence
that a much larger,
169
00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:13,167
and possibly older structure,
170
00:07:13,292 --> 00:07:15,625
lies buried beneath it.
171
00:07:16,833 --> 00:07:17,833
Boy.
172
00:07:17,958 --> 00:07:19,292
A lot of debris
173
00:07:19,458 --> 00:07:20,542
and stuff washed in,
174
00:07:20,708 --> 00:07:22,667
but it could be
much, much worse.
175
00:07:22,833 --> 00:07:24,500
All right.
Well, let's get started.
176
00:07:24,708 --> 00:07:26,583
We need someone
to bring the pump over,
177
00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:28,292
someone to bring
the generator over
178
00:07:28,458 --> 00:07:29,917
and someone to
bring the hose over.
179
00:07:30,083 --> 00:07:31,750
Yeah. Let's go.
180
00:07:32,792 --> 00:07:34,670
The team of
archaeologists are very excited
181
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:37,875
that this circular
feature is actually
182
00:07:38,042 --> 00:07:40,083
very anomalously
large for the time period.
183
00:07:42,125 --> 00:07:43,587
- That's good.
- They're thinking
184
00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:45,333
it could be an
important feature.
185
00:07:45,542 --> 00:07:47,667
- There you go.
- Maybe connected to
186
00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:51,000
the Money Pit, and they aren't
even to the bottom of it yet.
187
00:07:51,083 --> 00:07:53,833
I think it's going to be
dry enough by tomorrow.
188
00:07:54,042 --> 00:07:55,500
I hope so. Yeah.
189
00:07:56,542 --> 00:07:58,667
While the
investigation of the stone feature
190
00:07:58,792 --> 00:08:00,958
continues on Lot 5...
191
00:08:02,042 --> 00:08:03,500
Well, are we about set up?
192
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:05,500
Should be ready to roll, Marty.
193
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:08,083
Okay. I want to
see what this cave's all about.
194
00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:10,500
Back in the Money Pit area,
195
00:08:10,667 --> 00:08:13,667
Marty Lagina joins other
members of the team,
196
00:08:13,875 --> 00:08:17,833
approximately 60 feet
southwest of the Garden Shaft,
197
00:08:18,042 --> 00:08:20,208
where they are
preparing to conduct
198
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:22,917
a sonar scan of a
mysterious cavity
199
00:08:23,083 --> 00:08:25,583
more than 150 feet deep
200
00:08:25,792 --> 00:08:28,333
known as "Aladdin's Cave."
201
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:30,500
We've maxed out the settings,
202
00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:32,378
so, hopefully, we can
get a really quick scan
203
00:08:32,458 --> 00:08:34,958
of the ten-foot
void that we're into.
204
00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:37,333
This is a good
data-gathering device.
205
00:08:37,542 --> 00:08:38,542
Yeah.
206
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:40,833
Okay, go real slow.
207
00:08:40,958 --> 00:08:43,667
Since
discovering this large cavity
208
00:08:43,875 --> 00:08:46,958
during a core-drilling
operation one year ago,
209
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:50,500
the team has not only
obtained sonar data,
210
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:52,833
recorded on the western
side of the feature,
211
00:08:53,042 --> 00:08:55,542
showing a possible
tunnel entrance,
212
00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:58,500
but have also
detected trace evidence
213
00:08:58,708 --> 00:09:00,667
of wood and precious metals
214
00:09:00,833 --> 00:09:02,833
in collected water samples.
215
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:04,583
- Whoa, whoa!
- Whoa!
216
00:09:04,708 --> 00:09:06,167
What's that sitting
217
00:09:06,292 --> 00:09:07,692
right on the end
of it, right there?
218
00:09:08,625 --> 00:09:09,792
It looks like a bolt.
219
00:09:09,958 --> 00:09:12,250
And, just one week ago,
220
00:09:12,417 --> 00:09:14,583
after inserting a camera
221
00:09:14,792 --> 00:09:17,375
through a new borehole
in the center of the cavern,
222
00:09:17,542 --> 00:09:19,375
the team saw more evidence
223
00:09:19,583 --> 00:09:22,208
of possible man-made workings.
224
00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:23,833
We should be good to go.
225
00:09:23,917 --> 00:09:25,458
We just have to
get it in the hole.
226
00:09:25,625 --> 00:09:27,792
- Okay. Proceed.
- I'll do it.
227
00:09:27,917 --> 00:09:31,958
Now, using the
Echologger DASS710 sonar device
228
00:09:32,125 --> 00:09:33,333
in the same borehole,
229
00:09:33,458 --> 00:09:35,125
Marty and the team
230
00:09:35,292 --> 00:09:38,500
are hoping to obtain a
more definitive 3D map
231
00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:41,042
of "Aladdin's Cave" to determine
232
00:09:41,208 --> 00:09:43,625
if it really could be
a man-made feature
233
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:46,833
that contains
something of great value.
234
00:09:47,042 --> 00:09:50,042
You have to open up
your mind to the idea
235
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:51,753
that there are multiple
treasure cavities
236
00:09:51,833 --> 00:09:53,292
in the Money Pit.
237
00:09:53,458 --> 00:09:55,833
Aladdin's Cave and
the Garden Shaft
238
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,958
are legitimate targets
and areas of interest
239
00:09:59,125 --> 00:10:00,333
to find the treasure.
240
00:10:00,458 --> 00:10:02,000
So, we have to continue
241
00:10:02,167 --> 00:10:04,667
to investigate this area,
and that's important.
242
00:10:04,833 --> 00:10:06,500
I'm in the water.
243
00:10:06,667 --> 00:10:08,307
Okay. Still
have a little bit to go.
244
00:10:08,875 --> 00:10:11,417
Aladdin's Cave is unique.
245
00:10:11,583 --> 00:10:12,875
Sonar will see through the silt.
246
00:10:13,042 --> 00:10:15,292
That will see through
the opaque, muddy water.
247
00:10:15,458 --> 00:10:17,292
Obviously, I'm hoping to see
248
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:19,125
something that looks man-made.
249
00:10:19,292 --> 00:10:21,375
Shelves or timbers
250
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,417
or chests.
251
00:10:23,542 --> 00:10:27,500
All right, so we're
coming in to the cavity now.
252
00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:28,837
Okay, we're going
to start the scan
253
00:10:28,917 --> 00:10:30,875
- in just a second here.
- Okay.
254
00:10:31,792 --> 00:10:33,917
Okay, we are scanning.
255
00:10:34,083 --> 00:10:35,443
Something's happening there.
256
00:10:35,542 --> 00:10:37,667
So, we're getting a return now.
257
00:10:38,792 --> 00:10:40,420
Now we're getting
the perimeter of the cavern.
258
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:41,833
There it is.
259
00:10:42,917 --> 00:10:45,667
It looks kind of,
crescent moon-shaped.
260
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:48,208
Okay.
261
00:10:48,375 --> 00:10:49,625
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, guys.
262
00:10:49,792 --> 00:10:51,250
- How are you doing?
- Hey.
263
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:53,045
We've got the
image all set up here.
264
00:10:53,125 --> 00:10:54,962
So, the image is very
clear and crisp at this time.
265
00:10:55,042 --> 00:10:57,000
Rotate it a little more, Paul.
266
00:10:57,208 --> 00:10:58,628
- Now, look at that.
- Now we're
267
00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:00,375
starting to see-see
the sides form.
268
00:11:00,542 --> 00:11:01,833
Excellent.
269
00:11:02,833 --> 00:11:04,003
Do you see any evidence
270
00:11:04,083 --> 00:11:06,417
of a tunnel or an entrance or...
271
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:08,125
Maybe.
272
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:10,333
It's hard to say.
273
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:11,583
Whoa. What is this?
274
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:12,920
We seem to have
a sharp edge there.
275
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,333
Where are we looking?
276
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,125
The sides, right?
277
00:11:16,292 --> 00:11:18,125
Yeah.
There's two straight lines.
278
00:11:18,292 --> 00:11:19,628
They certainly
don't look natural.
279
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:21,292
Yeah.
280
00:11:29,042 --> 00:11:30,545
There's two
straight lines. There's one there
281
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:31,920
and then there's
one there, right?
282
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,458
Absolutely.
283
00:11:33,583 --> 00:11:34,417
In the Money Pit area
284
00:11:34,583 --> 00:11:36,042
on Oak Island,
285
00:11:36,250 --> 00:11:38,542
Rick, Marty and other
members of the team
286
00:11:38,708 --> 00:11:41,667
have just obtained
new sonar data...
287
00:11:42,958 --> 00:11:45,125
that indicates possible evidence
288
00:11:45,292 --> 00:11:48,667
of man-made workings
some 150 feet deep
289
00:11:48,833 --> 00:11:52,750
in a large cavern known
as "Aladdin's Cave."
290
00:11:54,208 --> 00:11:56,083
They certainly
don't look natural.
291
00:11:56,250 --> 00:11:57,333
Yeah.
292
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:58,917
We'll see those better
293
00:11:59,083 --> 00:12:00,462
when Steve puts
them in the 3D model.
294
00:12:00,542 --> 00:12:02,167
- Yep.
- The characterization
295
00:12:02,333 --> 00:12:04,167
of this opening
is, I really think,
296
00:12:04,333 --> 00:12:06,250
going to give us a lot
of information as to,
297
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:09,000
you know, how people
proceeded in the past to dig
298
00:12:09,167 --> 00:12:13,500
and work below 106
in the Money Pit area.
299
00:12:13,667 --> 00:12:15,375
Keep rotating it please, Paul.
300
00:12:20,417 --> 00:12:21,750
Stop there.
301
00:12:23,875 --> 00:12:25,128
What I'm seeing is the potential
302
00:12:25,208 --> 00:12:28,333
that that slope
there might be sand.
303
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:30,125
And this slope
304
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:32,500
could be burying whatever
might be laying on the floor.
305
00:12:33,542 --> 00:12:36,375
There's a pretty
square wall along one side.
306
00:12:36,542 --> 00:12:37,542
Very interesting.
307
00:12:38,542 --> 00:12:40,462
You almost only could
come up with one explanation
308
00:12:40,542 --> 00:12:43,000
why there would be
man-made anything in that cave.
309
00:12:43,125 --> 00:12:45,000
It was some sort of
deposit of treasure.
310
00:12:45,167 --> 00:12:47,375
We have a very good view here.
311
00:12:47,542 --> 00:12:49,625
So, based on the
data we have today,
312
00:12:49,792 --> 00:12:51,958
this is the western
part of the cave.
313
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:54,250
It's substantial in size.
314
00:12:54,458 --> 00:12:56,795
But most importantly, we need
to see where it's coming from.
315
00:12:56,875 --> 00:12:58,792
Are you
seeing a potential way in?
316
00:12:58,917 --> 00:13:00,583
I mean, we could go
over to that direction
317
00:13:00,750 --> 00:13:01,753
and see if it continues on.
318
00:13:01,833 --> 00:13:03,000
- Yes.
- Yep.
319
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:07,500
I think you gotta
put a drill hole on it.
320
00:13:07,667 --> 00:13:08,867
That's what I would do.
321
00:13:09,042 --> 00:13:11,500
I simply want to see
322
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:14,333
a way into Aladdin's Cave.
323
00:13:14,542 --> 00:13:17,667
There's a possibility that
treasure does reside there.
324
00:13:17,875 --> 00:13:21,333
But I think, all
things Oak Island,
325
00:13:21,542 --> 00:13:22,667
everything is incremental.
326
00:13:22,875 --> 00:13:23,750
We're seeing a little
bit of an echo here,
327
00:13:23,917 --> 00:13:26,125
so maybe there is an opening.
328
00:13:26,292 --> 00:13:27,917
Let's do some more drilling.
329
00:13:28,042 --> 00:13:29,417
Put a camera down into it.
330
00:13:29,583 --> 00:13:31,458
Let's see what-what we learn
331
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,875
and then make a decision
on how to proceed.
332
00:13:34,042 --> 00:13:37,125
So, I think everyone
here is quite adamant
333
00:13:37,333 --> 00:13:40,667
that we need to make a
proper, sound assessment
334
00:13:40,875 --> 00:13:42,667
of what this represents, right?
335
00:13:42,833 --> 00:13:44,708
There are two ways to do it.
336
00:13:44,875 --> 00:13:46,583
One is put another
drill hole down
337
00:13:46,750 --> 00:13:48,500
and put it on a more detailed,
338
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:50,583
outward-looking scan, right?
339
00:13:50,708 --> 00:13:52,375
- Sounds good.
- Let's do it. Set it up.
340
00:13:52,542 --> 00:13:54,792
I think that's all we
can do today. Nice job.
341
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,250
- Okay.
- All right, guys.
342
00:13:56,375 --> 00:13:57,500
Thanks.
343
00:13:57,625 --> 00:13:59,000
Time's going to tell.
344
00:14:03,875 --> 00:14:06,000
The following morning,
345
00:14:06,167 --> 00:14:09,375
as members of the team
begin drilling a new borehole...
346
00:14:09,542 --> 00:14:12,542
Known as L13.5...
347
00:14:12,708 --> 00:14:17,000
In order to collect more data
inside of Aladdin's Cave...
348
00:14:17,208 --> 00:14:19,167
Okay, it's all good.
349
00:14:19,375 --> 00:14:20,795
And while
representatives from Dumas
350
00:14:20,875 --> 00:14:23,083
continue their effort
351
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:26,167
to stop the flow of water
into the Garden Shaft...
352
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:27,813
- Hello.
- Hey, Carmen.
353
00:14:27,958 --> 00:14:29,375
Hey, Carmen.
354
00:14:29,542 --> 00:14:31,295
- How you doing today?
- Good. -Welcome back.
355
00:14:31,375 --> 00:14:33,292
Got some more stuff
for me, have you?
356
00:14:33,417 --> 00:14:35,500
Craig Tester, Peter Fornetti,
357
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:37,375
Jack Begley,
358
00:14:37,542 --> 00:14:40,042
and archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan
359
00:14:40,208 --> 00:14:42,708
meet with blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge
360
00:14:42,917 --> 00:14:44,208
in the Interpretive Centre.
361
00:14:46,125 --> 00:14:47,833
- Who's gonna start?
- Me.
362
00:14:47,958 --> 00:14:51,750
And these objects have
been found on Lot 5.
363
00:14:51,917 --> 00:14:53,083
Okay.
364
00:14:53,208 --> 00:14:54,958
Carmen has been invited
365
00:14:55,125 --> 00:14:56,875
to examine a metal strap
366
00:14:57,042 --> 00:14:58,667
and a heavy fastener,
367
00:14:58,875 --> 00:15:00,583
that were both
found one week ago
368
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:05,583
within the mysterious
circular depression on Lot 5.
369
00:15:06,958 --> 00:15:09,375
What do you
think about this, Carmen?
370
00:15:13,667 --> 00:15:16,000
Well, I would
have to see a scan on that
371
00:15:16,167 --> 00:15:19,417
because I can't tell if that
has a hole into it or not.
372
00:15:20,833 --> 00:15:22,917
There you go, Carmen.
373
00:15:23,042 --> 00:15:25,500
In preparation
for today's meeting,
374
00:15:25,708 --> 00:15:27,792
Emma processed both objects
375
00:15:27,958 --> 00:15:30,792
with two specialized
scanning devices.
376
00:15:30,958 --> 00:15:32,333
The first,
377
00:15:32,542 --> 00:15:36,458
known as the Skyscan
1273 CT Scanner,
378
00:15:36,667 --> 00:15:38,917
emits non-destructive radiation
379
00:15:39,042 --> 00:15:42,083
that penetrates built-up
corrosion on objects
380
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:44,667
in order to reveal
their finer details.
381
00:15:44,875 --> 00:15:49,208
The second, known as an
X-ray fluorescence spectrometer,
382
00:15:49,375 --> 00:15:52,250
uses X-rays to
identify the elements
383
00:15:52,417 --> 00:15:54,792
that the objects
are composed of.
384
00:15:54,958 --> 00:15:56,667
And it is heavily corroded.
385
00:15:56,875 --> 00:16:00,208
So, the red is the corrosion.
386
00:16:00,375 --> 00:16:02,042
And the green is the base metal.
387
00:16:02,208 --> 00:16:03,750
Yep. There's a
hole on both sides.
388
00:16:03,958 --> 00:16:05,833
- Right there.
- Yeah.
389
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,333
It would end right here.
390
00:16:09,208 --> 00:16:10,667
It was very well done.
391
00:16:10,875 --> 00:16:13,042
Do you have
any idea what that is?
392
00:16:13,208 --> 00:16:16,583
Yeah, that's a clasp
off a... a chest or a trunk.
393
00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:18,333
- What?
- Yeah.
394
00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:21,292
'Cause you can see this
part's sticking out here, right?
395
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:23,420
So, then you, when you close the lid,
396
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,458
the clasp comes down
at the hinge part, right?
397
00:16:25,625 --> 00:16:28,917
It comes down and then you
insert a, a lock or a wedge.
398
00:16:29,083 --> 00:16:30,750
Okay.
399
00:16:30,875 --> 00:16:33,875
A chest for what, typically?
400
00:16:34,042 --> 00:16:37,000
This would be a small
chest. I would say 12 by 12.
401
00:16:37,208 --> 00:16:41,417
Does the style of that
suggest a time period? Or...
402
00:16:41,542 --> 00:16:45,958
It is old. You know,
early 1600s to the mid-1700s.
403
00:16:46,125 --> 00:16:47,167
A clasp
404
00:16:47,292 --> 00:16:50,167
to a small chest or trunk
405
00:16:50,292 --> 00:16:53,458
possibly dating back
to the 17th century?
406
00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:58,167
And found in the
mysterious feature on Lot 5?
407
00:16:58,375 --> 00:17:01,500
Could it be related to
other 17th-century artifacts,
408
00:17:01,667 --> 00:17:03,875
which have been traced
to Sir William Phips?
409
00:17:04,042 --> 00:17:06,875
The privateer who, some believe,
410
00:17:07,042 --> 00:17:09,417
buried treasure from
the famed Spanish wreck
411
00:17:09,583 --> 00:17:14,167
known as the Concepcion
on Oak Island in 1687?
412
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:17,167
If so, could they
also be connected
413
00:17:17,375 --> 00:17:19,792
to the precious metals
that have been detected
414
00:17:19,917 --> 00:17:21,583
across the Money Pit area?
415
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:25,250
Well, what's
the metallurgy of this?
416
00:17:25,417 --> 00:17:27,792
Metallurgy, there are
no modern indicators.
417
00:17:27,958 --> 00:17:29,375
Okay.
418
00:17:29,542 --> 00:17:31,333
So, I'm curious
about this next piece.
419
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:32,875
All the iron pieces
420
00:17:33,042 --> 00:17:35,833
were relatively found
in the same zone.
421
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Definitely a nail, Jack.
422
00:17:37,583 --> 00:17:39,833
Do we have a scan of
this one, so I can see it?
423
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:41,333
I do.
424
00:17:42,125 --> 00:17:44,667
Can you flip the head
around a few times?
425
00:17:46,208 --> 00:17:48,458
What I'm seeing here is a
nail that was made in a hurry
426
00:17:48,625 --> 00:17:49,917
with no definitive head.
427
00:17:50,083 --> 00:17:51,670
It's not a rose head
or anything like that.
428
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:52,917
It was just squished out.
429
00:17:53,083 --> 00:17:55,000
So, it wasn't, made for anything
430
00:17:55,167 --> 00:17:57,625
that was going to be
fancy or pretty or whatever.
431
00:17:57,708 --> 00:17:59,167
So, typical structure nail.
432
00:17:59,375 --> 00:18:00,667
Okay.
433
00:18:00,833 --> 00:18:02,167
We have overwhelming evidence
434
00:18:02,333 --> 00:18:05,167
that people were doing
something in this structure.
435
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:07,708
It's a very crude
nail for a very crude purpose.
436
00:18:07,917 --> 00:18:10,667
What would be your
best guess for time frame?
437
00:18:10,875 --> 00:18:13,875
Early 1600s up to 1700s.
438
00:18:14,042 --> 00:18:15,792
Nice.
439
00:18:15,958 --> 00:18:17,962
Um, I would lean towards the
older part of that time period.
440
00:18:18,042 --> 00:18:19,333
Emma?
441
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:21,583
What's the chemistry of that?
442
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:23,042
From what I do see,
443
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:27,000
definitely pre-1800s,
could be 1600s,
444
00:18:27,208 --> 00:18:30,917
but it does have a higher
aluminum-to-silicon ratio,
445
00:18:31,083 --> 00:18:33,167
which is unusual,
446
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:36,333
but it is a signature
that I'm seeing
447
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:39,208
in William Phipps artifacts,
448
00:18:39,375 --> 00:18:41,417
and I've been seeing it
on Oak Island artifacts.
449
00:18:44,542 --> 00:18:46,167
I mean, it's good.
450
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:48,003
These two artifacts, we
have two different disciplines
451
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:51,083
suggesting the same
time frame, which is great.
452
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:53,250
Yep. Well,
thank you, Carmen.
453
00:18:53,375 --> 00:18:55,667
I'm hoping we have
you back here very soon.
454
00:18:55,875 --> 00:18:57,708
The sooner the better.
455
00:18:58,917 --> 00:19:01,333
As the team
concludes their meeting
456
00:19:01,542 --> 00:19:03,917
with Carmen Legge at
the Interpretive Centre...
457
00:19:04,083 --> 00:19:05,875
Do you want
to go look through it?
458
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,083
Okay.
459
00:19:07,250 --> 00:19:08,958
On Lot 5,
460
00:19:09,083 --> 00:19:11,125
archaeologists Helen Sheldon
461
00:19:11,333 --> 00:19:14,000
and Moya MacDonald continue
462
00:19:14,167 --> 00:19:15,917
their excavation of
the mysterious feature,
463
00:19:16,083 --> 00:19:19,750
now that the rain water has
been completely removed.
464
00:19:21,958 --> 00:19:24,295
So, what we're looking
for right now, really, is soil.
465
00:19:24,375 --> 00:19:26,500
- Change in soil.
- Okay.
466
00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:30,792
- It's that clay stuff.
- Yep.
467
00:19:46,042 --> 00:19:47,500
Helen, I think I
found something.
468
00:19:48,792 --> 00:19:49,875
That's interesting.
469
00:19:51,542 --> 00:19:55,000
It's really interesting,
different from what we've seen.
470
00:19:55,208 --> 00:19:56,708
Wow!
471
00:19:56,875 --> 00:19:58,375
Yeah.
472
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,458
Wow. Very cool.
473
00:20:03,583 --> 00:20:05,292
While meticulously investigating
474
00:20:05,458 --> 00:20:09,333
a deeper layer of the mysterious
stone structure on Lot 5,
475
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:13,000
archaeologists Helen
Sheldon and Moya MacDonald
476
00:20:13,167 --> 00:20:15,333
have just made a new
477
00:20:15,458 --> 00:20:18,458
and potentially
significant discovery.
478
00:20:18,625 --> 00:20:20,000
What do you think that is?
479
00:20:20,167 --> 00:20:21,407
That looks like a barrel strap.
480
00:20:21,542 --> 00:20:23,292
Yeah, it's really interesting.
481
00:20:23,417 --> 00:20:25,417
It's got the nail through there,
482
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:27,375
that it was fastened
to the barrel.
483
00:20:27,542 --> 00:20:29,622
The nail almost looks like
a different type of metal.
484
00:20:29,708 --> 00:20:32,000
- Would you agree?
- It's got a greenish hue to it.
485
00:20:32,167 --> 00:20:34,420
Which probably means it's copper...
486
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,667
On an iron strap.
487
00:20:38,083 --> 00:20:40,875
I came to do a check-in, but
I see I came at the right time.
488
00:20:41,042 --> 00:20:42,500
- Yeah.
- Look.
489
00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:44,045
- What did you find?
- We've just found this.
490
00:20:44,125 --> 00:20:46,000
Well, it's a piece
of a barrel strap.
491
00:20:46,208 --> 00:20:48,500
And it has a nail in there,
492
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:52,083
and it had a greenish tint
to it, which means copper.
493
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:53,878
- Yeah.
- Would that mean anything,
494
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:56,542
if it's two different types
of metal on a barrel strap?
495
00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:58,253
Well, copper normally
indicates it's been to sea,
496
00:20:58,333 --> 00:21:00,208
you know, because
they don't corrode.
497
00:21:00,333 --> 00:21:02,125
But the strap
itself is still iron.
498
00:21:02,292 --> 00:21:04,417
I mean, a lot of things
were imported in barrels,
499
00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:06,125
like, that's how
they shipped things.
500
00:21:06,208 --> 00:21:08,333
So, that's how you
transported things around.
501
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:11,333
We've also found barrel
hoops around the whole island.
502
00:21:11,542 --> 00:21:13,833
Near the swamp and, well,
503
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,917
a bunch of different
places metal detecting.
504
00:21:17,042 --> 00:21:19,667
Hey, guys. Check that out.
505
00:21:19,875 --> 00:21:21,750
- Top of a keg.
- Wow!
506
00:21:21,917 --> 00:21:23,717
Three years
ago, while investigating
507
00:21:23,875 --> 00:21:27,333
a stone pathway
connected to the stone road,
508
00:21:27,542 --> 00:21:29,417
or ship's wharf, in the swamp,
509
00:21:29,542 --> 00:21:33,083
Rick Lagina and members
of the team unearthed
510
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:35,417
pieces of wooden cargo barrels.
511
00:21:35,583 --> 00:21:38,000
- So, that's a keg.
- Yep.
512
00:21:38,208 --> 00:21:40,458
Those finds not only suggested
513
00:21:40,625 --> 00:21:42,750
that an operation
to move heavy cargo
514
00:21:42,917 --> 00:21:45,958
from a large sailing
vessel up to the Money Pit
515
00:21:46,083 --> 00:21:49,833
took place when the swamp
may have been an open harbor...
516
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,958
This one is extremely old
because it's hand-made.
517
00:21:53,083 --> 00:21:55,708
But were also
believed, by blacksmithing expert
518
00:21:55,875 --> 00:21:58,917
Carmen Legge, to date
back hundreds of years.
519
00:21:59,083 --> 00:22:01,417
So, that could go right
straight back to the 1400s.
520
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,375
Could this barrel strap,
521
00:22:04,542 --> 00:22:08,042
found in a deeper layer of
the mysterious feature on Lot 5,
522
00:22:08,208 --> 00:22:12,000
be related to the barrel pieces
uncovered in the swamp?
523
00:22:12,208 --> 00:22:15,375
And if so, could they
offer more evidence
524
00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:17,500
to support the
team's speculation
525
00:22:17,667 --> 00:22:20,667
that Lot 5 was used
as a staging ground
526
00:22:20,875 --> 00:22:23,875
for whatever may be
buried in the Money Pit?
527
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:27,333
From our on-island finds,
528
00:22:27,542 --> 00:22:30,167
it would seem that
Lot 5 is the place
529
00:22:30,375 --> 00:22:32,750
that was the encampment
530
00:22:32,917 --> 00:22:34,583
to build the Money Pit.
531
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:37,125
There might be enough
evidence around here to tell us
532
00:22:37,292 --> 00:22:41,833
who did this and then we
can finally recover the treasure.
533
00:22:42,792 --> 00:22:44,875
So, Moya will
put this in the bag.
534
00:22:45,042 --> 00:22:46,500
And, at the end of the day,
535
00:22:46,667 --> 00:22:48,667
we'll take it back to the lab
536
00:22:48,833 --> 00:22:50,587
- and see what Emma can do with it.
- All right.
537
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:53,417
Great find. You mind
if I help sift for a while?
538
00:22:53,583 --> 00:22:55,462
- Yeah, sure. Go ahead, Jack.
- We'll get back to work.
539
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:58,333
- Here, I'll take your bucket.
- Thank you.
540
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:01,042
Hopefully, we
can find some more.
541
00:23:01,208 --> 00:23:03,500
While Jack
helps Helen and Moya search
542
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:06,000
for additional clues on Lot 5...
543
00:23:07,042 --> 00:23:09,208
- We're getting close, Charles.
- Yep.
544
00:23:09,333 --> 00:23:10,792
In the Money Pit area...
545
00:23:10,958 --> 00:23:13,667
The next run should bring
us evidence of the cavern.
546
00:23:13,792 --> 00:23:15,333
Terry Matheson
547
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,250
and Oak Island historian
Charles Barkhouse
548
00:23:18,375 --> 00:23:21,458
continue supervising
the drilling operation
549
00:23:21,583 --> 00:23:24,333
in borehole L13.5.
550
00:23:24,542 --> 00:23:27,958
A borehole positioned
to, once again,
551
00:23:28,125 --> 00:23:29,750
penetrate the large cavity
552
00:23:29,917 --> 00:23:33,583
located some 150
feet underground,
553
00:23:33,708 --> 00:23:36,458
which the team has
optimistically dubbed
554
00:23:36,625 --> 00:23:38,750
Aladdin's Cave.
555
00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:41,208
Mike, what's up?
556
00:23:41,375 --> 00:23:42,667
How's it going over there?
557
00:23:42,875 --> 00:23:44,208
So, I hit the cavern
558
00:23:44,375 --> 00:23:46,333
- around 141.
- Right.
559
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,000
It seemed like
there's only, like,
560
00:23:48,167 --> 00:23:50,208
six feet of open space there,
561
00:23:50,333 --> 00:23:52,292
and then I started
feeling a little muck.
562
00:23:52,458 --> 00:23:53,628
We'll see when we
bring the core up.
563
00:23:53,708 --> 00:23:54,795
- Yeah.
- Thanks a lot, Mike.
564
00:23:54,875 --> 00:23:56,167
That's super news.
565
00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:57,378
- Hey, Alex.
- Charles. Terry.
566
00:23:57,458 --> 00:23:58,628
Hey, Alex, how you doing?
567
00:23:58,708 --> 00:24:01,000
What's the update? L-13.5.
568
00:24:01,208 --> 00:24:05,583
141 below grade, and we popped
out into the old Aladdin's Cave.
569
00:24:05,750 --> 00:24:07,250
- Great. Awesome.
- Yeah.
570
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:09,792
Five feet of open space
before we hit bottom.
571
00:24:09,958 --> 00:24:12,083
Then we're into
the grit and gravel
572
00:24:12,208 --> 00:24:13,958
on the floor of the cavern.
573
00:24:14,125 --> 00:24:16,125
Okay, that's excellent.
574
00:24:16,250 --> 00:24:19,542
This Aladdin's
Cave is very important to us.
575
00:24:19,708 --> 00:24:22,208
It would be a game changer
if there's anything man-made
576
00:24:22,375 --> 00:24:23,375
in that cave.
577
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:24,917
- Hey, Steve.
- Hey, guys.
578
00:24:25,125 --> 00:24:26,417
We hit Aladdin's Cave.
579
00:24:26,583 --> 00:24:28,420
- We're in the cavity for sure.
- That's perfect.
580
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:30,542
This couldn't have
been a better hole.
581
00:24:30,708 --> 00:24:32,333
We need to
try everything we can.
582
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:34,500
We have to figure out what this
583
00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:36,253
Aladdin's Cave is,
and if it has something
584
00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:37,500
to do with the treasure.
585
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:39,833
The next step is
to run the camera.
586
00:24:39,917 --> 00:24:41,557
So, if you guys are
ready, I'd like to see
587
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:43,708
- what's down there.
- Absolutely. -Yeah.
588
00:24:43,875 --> 00:24:46,000
The overwhelming likelihood
589
00:24:46,125 --> 00:24:48,000
is that Aladdin's
Cave is not natural.
590
00:24:48,208 --> 00:24:50,583
If it's not natural,
then somebody dug it.
591
00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:53,458
It's either searcher
or depositor.
592
00:24:53,583 --> 00:24:55,167
Where are we at?
593
00:24:55,375 --> 00:24:56,875
We're just ready to put it down.
594
00:24:57,083 --> 00:24:59,292
- Okay, great.
- Okay, let's get after it.
595
00:24:59,458 --> 00:25:01,375
If this cave is man-made,
596
00:25:01,542 --> 00:25:03,167
there must be an entrance.
597
00:25:03,375 --> 00:25:04,958
So, when we lower
the camera down,
598
00:25:05,125 --> 00:25:06,795
we should be able to see
something, and, hopefully,
599
00:25:06,875 --> 00:25:08,333
we can get as much
data as we can.
600
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:09,962
- Here we go.
- All right, Steve.
601
00:25:10,042 --> 00:25:11,875
In order to look for any signs
602
00:25:12,042 --> 00:25:14,292
of a tunnel or
possible treasure...
603
00:25:14,458 --> 00:25:15,667
Down the hole we go.
604
00:25:15,833 --> 00:25:17,375
The team is using
605
00:25:17,542 --> 00:25:21,583
the Inuktun Spectrum
120 high-definition camera.
606
00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:24,500
A waterproof device
designed to operate
607
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,625
in low-light conditions,
608
00:25:26,792 --> 00:25:31,375
and which features a lens
that can pan 360 degrees
609
00:25:31,542 --> 00:25:34,167
for a full view of
its surroundings.
610
00:25:35,667 --> 00:25:37,507
- Few feet away. Boom.
- Boom.
611
00:25:37,625 --> 00:25:39,167
We're into the water.
612
00:25:39,375 --> 00:25:40,792
Aladdin's Cave, to me,
613
00:25:40,917 --> 00:25:42,962
is probably the most interesting
feature in the Money Pit.
614
00:25:43,042 --> 00:25:46,250
It's a huge structure.
It's almost 30 feet wide.
615
00:25:46,417 --> 00:25:48,000
It has gold and
silver in the water,
616
00:25:48,125 --> 00:25:49,917
and it has wood organics.
617
00:25:50,042 --> 00:25:51,628
So, to me, it's the
most promising location
618
00:25:51,708 --> 00:25:53,208
for an offset chamber.
619
00:25:53,375 --> 00:25:55,958
To me, this is a
potential treasure location.
620
00:25:56,083 --> 00:25:57,833
Okay, it's pretty
murky down there.
621
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,833
We're not seeing
too much right now.
622
00:26:00,042 --> 00:26:02,002
Let's get into the cavity
and see what we can see.
623
00:26:02,083 --> 00:26:03,167
Okay.
624
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:11,625
There you go, it's
right under the lip of the casing.
625
00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:13,208
Okay.
626
00:26:13,417 --> 00:26:14,917
There you go.
You got something.
627
00:26:15,083 --> 00:26:16,920
Okay. Stop right
there. Stop right there.
628
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,708
Now it's
starting to clear up a little bit.
629
00:26:17,875 --> 00:26:19,333
Stop there!
630
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:21,583
It's not a bad
image, but what is it?
631
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:25,000
Yeah, it looks like the edge,
632
00:26:25,208 --> 00:26:27,625
edge of something here.
633
00:26:27,792 --> 00:26:30,208
What do you see there, Terry?
634
00:26:30,375 --> 00:26:32,458
I see broken edges.
635
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,667
Okay, now-now pan
around if you can.
636
00:26:38,375 --> 00:26:39,462
Paul, stop
right there. Go back.
637
00:26:39,542 --> 00:26:40,542
Okay. Yep.
638
00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:42,333
Yeah, there's a linear feature,
639
00:26:42,542 --> 00:26:44,292
but we've gone by it.
640
00:26:44,458 --> 00:26:45,778
- It was up further.
- Okay.
641
00:26:45,875 --> 00:26:48,500
Let me try to get back up there.
642
00:26:48,625 --> 00:26:50,292
Yeah, tilt it up
a little bit here.
643
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:52,000
What's that?
644
00:26:52,167 --> 00:26:53,458
There you go. There's...
645
00:26:53,625 --> 00:26:56,708
- something there.
- What do you see?
646
00:26:56,875 --> 00:26:59,333
Looks like the edge
fracture of a wall right now.
647
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:00,670
Just want to take a quick look.
648
00:27:00,750 --> 00:27:02,125
We're just panning around
649
00:27:02,292 --> 00:27:04,625
- to try to get the perimeter.
- Yeah.
650
00:27:04,792 --> 00:27:07,542
So, you can see this bunch
of material here, Steve.
651
00:27:07,708 --> 00:27:10,167
It's basically, like, an edge,
652
00:27:10,375 --> 00:27:12,167
edge of a wall for the cavern.
653
00:27:12,375 --> 00:27:13,583
Yeah, that looks good.
654
00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:15,292
What would you say that is?
655
00:27:15,417 --> 00:27:16,583
That does look...
656
00:27:16,792 --> 00:27:19,833
look like a tunnel.
657
00:27:26,917 --> 00:27:28,458
That does look like a tunnel.
658
00:27:28,625 --> 00:27:30,375
Yeah, that looks good.
659
00:27:30,542 --> 00:27:33,708
It is a riveting
moment for Alex Lagina
660
00:27:33,833 --> 00:27:35,667
and members of
the Oak Island team
661
00:27:35,792 --> 00:27:37,833
in the Money Pit area.
662
00:27:39,292 --> 00:27:42,833
Clearly, we're stirring up
some silt with the camera motion.
663
00:27:43,875 --> 00:27:47,250
While
investigating the mysterious cavern
664
00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:49,667
nearly 150 feet underground,
665
00:27:49,792 --> 00:27:52,750
known as Aladdin's Cave,
666
00:27:52,958 --> 00:27:56,000
they have just obtained
high-definition video
667
00:27:56,167 --> 00:27:58,333
of a possible man-made entrance.
668
00:27:58,542 --> 00:28:00,062
Yeah, there it is right there.
669
00:28:00,208 --> 00:28:02,128
See, that looks
like an opening right there.
670
00:28:02,208 --> 00:28:04,500
Look, look.
671
00:28:04,708 --> 00:28:08,167
It's hard to see now.
672
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:09,667
It's promising,
673
00:28:09,833 --> 00:28:11,087
from what I can
see just for a second
674
00:28:11,167 --> 00:28:12,875
before the water
got quite murky.
675
00:28:13,042 --> 00:28:15,917
It did look like we could see
a potential hallway or a tunnel.
676
00:28:16,083 --> 00:28:18,042
- So, that's promising.
- It is promising.
677
00:28:18,250 --> 00:28:20,667
I'll go get Terry back in here.
678
00:28:20,833 --> 00:28:22,417
Okay. Sounds good.
679
00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:25,208
Maybe this is man-made.
680
00:28:25,375 --> 00:28:27,337
We're trying to get an
answer, a definitive answer.
681
00:28:27,417 --> 00:28:30,167
But the question is, if
we keep following this,
682
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,083
are we going to see something?
683
00:28:33,042 --> 00:28:34,417
- Hey, Steve.
- Yes, sir.
684
00:28:34,583 --> 00:28:36,958
Can you just lower
it about six inches?
685
00:28:40,042 --> 00:28:42,000
Perfect. That's good.
686
00:28:42,208 --> 00:28:44,167
Now we're able
to get a 360 a little bit.
687
00:28:48,542 --> 00:28:50,833
There.
688
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,542
- That's kind of a sharp edge.
- Yeah.
689
00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:56,167
But that's going to
be the open space.
690
00:28:56,375 --> 00:28:58,542
Yeah, that's open space there.
691
00:28:58,708 --> 00:29:02,708
- If I keep going...
- It's pretty wide.
692
00:29:04,708 --> 00:29:06,792
Okay, yeah. So,
we have a clear, open area
693
00:29:06,958 --> 00:29:09,750
between two
sidewalls, it looks like.
694
00:29:09,875 --> 00:29:11,125
Charles, what do you see?
695
00:29:11,292 --> 00:29:13,000
We're seeing,
like, a dark space,
696
00:29:13,208 --> 00:29:14,848
like, between two
walls, and you can't see
697
00:29:14,958 --> 00:29:17,167
the back of it at all.
698
00:29:17,333 --> 00:29:19,462
Yeah. When I was in there,
that's what I could see, too.
699
00:29:19,542 --> 00:29:23,000
It almost looks like a tunnel,
or an opening to a cave.
700
00:29:23,208 --> 00:29:25,000
You know,
we're into an open space.
701
00:29:25,167 --> 00:29:28,167
This could be a tunnel. It
could be an offset chamber.
702
00:29:28,333 --> 00:29:30,167
Who knows?
703
00:29:30,375 --> 00:29:31,375
And that's exciting.
704
00:29:31,542 --> 00:29:32,628
We've got to investigate this
705
00:29:32,708 --> 00:29:34,333
and see where it ends.
706
00:29:34,542 --> 00:29:38,333
Maybe that will lead us
to where the Money Pit is.
707
00:29:39,375 --> 00:29:42,125
- I'm just trying to look down.
- Yeah. Yeah.
708
00:29:44,208 --> 00:29:46,000
- You see anything?
- No.
709
00:29:46,208 --> 00:29:49,917
- It's very murky.
- This image is so poor.
710
00:29:50,125 --> 00:29:52,458
The sonar, I think is going
to give us a better idea.
711
00:29:52,583 --> 00:29:56,000
Because of the heavy
silt that has now obscured the team's
712
00:29:56,208 --> 00:29:58,625
ability to visually investigate
713
00:29:58,750 --> 00:30:01,333
the possibly man-made cavern,
714
00:30:01,542 --> 00:30:04,500
in the coming days, they
will once again conduct
715
00:30:04,708 --> 00:30:09,125
a sonar scan from this new
vantage point in order to better
716
00:30:09,292 --> 00:30:12,750
define the dimensions of
the possible tunnel entrance,
717
00:30:12,917 --> 00:30:14,875
and hopefully determine
718
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,833
just what this
feature may contain.
719
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,375
Aladdin's Cave.
720
00:30:20,583 --> 00:30:22,042
This really is the
most significant
721
00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:24,170
underground cavity that
we've found in the Money Pit.
722
00:30:24,250 --> 00:30:27,917
And that's why we need to
explore it as much as we can.
723
00:30:28,083 --> 00:30:29,875
The sonar can see
through the dark,
724
00:30:30,042 --> 00:30:33,208
and get us a really precise
measurement of this cave,
725
00:30:33,375 --> 00:30:35,000
and help us try to
solve this mystery.
726
00:30:36,333 --> 00:30:37,878
I think we've seen
everything we can see.
727
00:30:37,958 --> 00:30:40,417
I think it's gonna come
down to the sonar.
728
00:30:40,542 --> 00:30:41,917
I agree. Yeah.
729
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,208
Thanks, guys.
730
00:30:48,458 --> 00:30:51,292
The following morning...
731
00:30:51,458 --> 00:30:53,792
as the team from Dumas
Contracting Limited
732
00:30:53,958 --> 00:30:58,208
continues to look for
voids in the Garden Shaft...
733
00:30:58,375 --> 00:31:00,667
I've got a lot of
loose rocks here, and I think
734
00:31:00,833 --> 00:31:02,087
I'm going to have
to take them out.
735
00:31:02,167 --> 00:31:04,958
I expected that at the edge.
736
00:31:05,125 --> 00:31:07,708
Jack Begley, Jamie Kouba,
737
00:31:07,875 --> 00:31:09,542
Moya MacDonald and Fiona Steele
738
00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:13,500
continue their careful
investigation to uncover
739
00:31:13,667 --> 00:31:18,167
more layers of the mysterious
stone foundation near the shore
740
00:31:18,333 --> 00:31:19,458
on Lot 5.
741
00:31:19,625 --> 00:31:21,667
I will say, I'm finding
742
00:31:21,833 --> 00:31:23,333
barely anything now that we're
743
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,375
in these big rocks, so that's
a good sign for it being a wall.
744
00:31:28,250 --> 00:31:32,125
I think that this is the edge.
745
00:31:32,250 --> 00:31:36,500
On Lot 5, it appears
that this is some sort of
746
00:31:36,708 --> 00:31:38,917
habitation or structure
747
00:31:39,083 --> 00:31:41,583
that predates the
Money Pit discovery.
748
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:44,792
So, is this our depositor?
749
00:31:44,917 --> 00:31:47,792
Is this related to
the Money Pit?
750
00:31:47,875 --> 00:31:49,542
Digging up these
features and recovering
751
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:52,375
all the artifacts could
tell us who this was,
752
00:31:52,542 --> 00:31:56,375
and whether or not they are
related to the Money Pit story.
753
00:31:56,542 --> 00:32:01,208
So, just kind of looking at
this structure, I'm struggling
754
00:32:01,375 --> 00:32:06,250
to figure out how it all lines
up, and how big this might be.
755
00:32:06,375 --> 00:32:09,875
What I expected to find
was a pretty much intact wall.
756
00:32:10,042 --> 00:32:12,292
But I think it's
possible that it was
757
00:32:12,458 --> 00:32:15,958
a taller wall, and it has
collapsed in on itself.
758
00:32:16,083 --> 00:32:18,000
When you're looking
down on it, you can see
759
00:32:18,083 --> 00:32:19,708
these rocks here look in situ.
760
00:32:19,875 --> 00:32:22,750
Like they weren't just stacked.
761
00:32:22,917 --> 00:32:25,083
And there is still
this straight line
762
00:32:25,292 --> 00:32:27,667
that we have going through here.
763
00:32:27,833 --> 00:32:30,708
It kind of makes me wonder
if we don't have both sides of
764
00:32:30,833 --> 00:32:32,042
this rock wall, because
765
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:33,833
we know we have
sterile soil over here
766
00:32:34,042 --> 00:32:35,833
on the south side of it.
767
00:32:36,042 --> 00:32:37,917
And it looks like Moya
might be coming down
768
00:32:38,125 --> 00:32:40,458
on sterile soil
here on the right.
769
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:45,167
So, it's entirely possible
that we got both sides of it.
770
00:32:45,333 --> 00:32:46,958
A stone wall?
771
00:32:47,083 --> 00:32:50,125
Is it possible that the
team is in the process
772
00:32:50,292 --> 00:32:54,083
of uncovering another section
of the mysterious feature?
773
00:32:54,208 --> 00:32:56,833
And if so, just
what will they find
774
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,208
as they continue digging deeper
775
00:32:59,375 --> 00:33:02,083
into the purposely
buried layer below?
776
00:33:02,250 --> 00:33:05,708
I have a hunch that this
thing just fell in on itself.
777
00:33:05,875 --> 00:33:07,833
That it was higher
than ground level,
778
00:33:08,042 --> 00:33:09,667
and that it fell in on itself.
779
00:33:09,792 --> 00:33:12,542
I'd like to get Laird out here
and have him take a look
780
00:33:12,708 --> 00:33:13,833
and get his opinion on it.
781
00:33:14,875 --> 00:33:16,955
I mean, at the very least,
we've definitely come down
782
00:33:17,042 --> 00:33:18,958
on the rock feature
that we were looking for.
783
00:33:19,167 --> 00:33:20,253
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.
784
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:21,833
It's really interesting.
785
00:33:22,042 --> 00:33:23,625
This is really exciting to see.
786
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,120
Hello.
787
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:31,253
- Hey, Laird.
- What's happening?
788
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:33,500
We have an interesting puzzle.
789
00:33:33,708 --> 00:33:35,000
- Yeah.
- Great.
790
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:36,000
Near the northern shore
791
00:33:36,125 --> 00:33:38,292
of Lot 5 on Oak Island,
792
00:33:38,458 --> 00:33:42,250
archaeologist Laird
Niven joins Jack Begley
793
00:33:42,417 --> 00:33:44,833
and other members
of the team to inspect
794
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,212
a potentially
important discovery
795
00:33:46,292 --> 00:33:48,833
that was just uncovered
796
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,917
inside the mysterious
stone foundation.
797
00:33:52,083 --> 00:33:55,542
So, we might be coming
down on a wall feature.
798
00:33:55,708 --> 00:33:57,958
It's possible that this structure was
799
00:33:58,125 --> 00:34:00,167
a little taller than we
originally anticipated,
800
00:34:00,333 --> 00:34:02,833
and it has
collapsed in on itself.
801
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,292
That's possible.
802
00:34:05,458 --> 00:34:07,138
The other thing I kind
of wanted to discuss
803
00:34:07,292 --> 00:34:08,500
with you, since you're here.
804
00:34:08,708 --> 00:34:11,042
As we started taking
back this historic fill,
805
00:34:11,208 --> 00:34:13,125
we started hitting
the dark stuff.
806
00:34:13,292 --> 00:34:15,000
And that's all the
same area that we're
807
00:34:15,167 --> 00:34:17,083
finding the iron and stuff in.
808
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:19,458
- Yeah.
- Like, especially, like, the door pieces.
809
00:34:19,667 --> 00:34:21,917
- Right.
- And we've also been finding
810
00:34:22,083 --> 00:34:25,500
a lot of nails in that
area around the dark soil,
811
00:34:25,708 --> 00:34:28,667
- so that would also maybe indicate a door, right?
- Yep.
812
00:34:28,875 --> 00:34:30,083
Yeah.
813
00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:33,833
The magnetometer data
is indicating that there
814
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,333
should be at least
intact base of a wall.
815
00:34:36,542 --> 00:34:38,333
- Yeah. All four sides of it.
- Right?
816
00:34:38,542 --> 00:34:41,833
Yeah, so, I mean, what we
have here is the outline of a fairly
817
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,542
large structure that for some
reason was abandoned and either
818
00:34:46,708 --> 00:34:50,792
collapsed or was filled in,
or a combination of both.
819
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:53,458
- Yeah.
- So it's pretty exciting.
820
00:34:53,625 --> 00:34:55,500
Yeah. Very exciting.
821
00:34:55,667 --> 00:34:58,500
The confirmation
that this feature is much
822
00:34:58,708 --> 00:35:01,000
larger than the
team previously knew
823
00:35:01,167 --> 00:35:02,458
is an exciting development,
824
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:04,667
and underscores
the burning question
825
00:35:04,875 --> 00:35:07,542
of why it may have
been deliberately buried.
826
00:35:07,708 --> 00:35:11,375
Could the artifacts that the
team has found inside of it,
827
00:35:11,583 --> 00:35:14,750
which have been directly
connected to Sir William Phips,
828
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:18,167
the 17th-century English
privateer who may have hidden
829
00:35:18,375 --> 00:35:20,958
tons of Spanish
treasure in the Money Pit,
830
00:35:21,125 --> 00:35:24,292
offer a potential answer?
831
00:35:25,333 --> 00:35:27,167
This is huge if it's as
big as we think it is.
832
00:35:27,292 --> 00:35:30,000
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
833
00:35:30,208 --> 00:35:32,375
- We'll just keep pulling this back...
- Yeah.
834
00:35:32,542 --> 00:35:34,708
And seeing where
the large rocks end.
835
00:35:34,875 --> 00:35:36,155
All right. I think
that's a plan.
836
00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:37,250
You guys keep going.
837
00:35:37,333 --> 00:35:38,333
- Okay, perfect.
- Yay.
838
00:35:38,542 --> 00:35:40,917
We're making progress though.
839
00:35:41,083 --> 00:35:42,683
- Yeah.
- All right, so I'm gonna go back
840
00:35:42,792 --> 00:35:44,337
to the lab, and you guys
can get back to work.
841
00:35:44,417 --> 00:35:45,795
- Yeah. Great.
- I'll see you again soon.
842
00:35:45,875 --> 00:35:47,000
- Sure.
- Thanks.
843
00:35:47,167 --> 00:35:48,170
It just gets more interesting
844
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:49,417
the more we dig.
845
00:35:49,583 --> 00:35:50,958
I agree.
846
00:35:51,042 --> 00:35:52,378
As the archaeological work
847
00:35:52,458 --> 00:35:54,250
continues on Lot 5...
848
00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:57,270
- Hey, Scott.
- Hi, guys.
849
00:35:57,375 --> 00:35:58,792
- What's up?
- How we doing?
850
00:35:58,875 --> 00:36:00,167
Not so great.
851
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,128
We have some issues
here inside the shaft wall.
852
00:36:02,208 --> 00:36:03,667
They were doing some drilling,
853
00:36:03,833 --> 00:36:05,958
trying to find the source
of the water coming in.
854
00:36:06,167 --> 00:36:07,542
Wow.
855
00:36:07,708 --> 00:36:09,378
And the water's
coming in at quite a rate.
856
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:11,337
It was raising about a
foot an hour in the shaft.
857
00:36:11,417 --> 00:36:13,167
- Really? -Wow.
- Yeah.
858
00:36:13,333 --> 00:36:14,628
So, Roger, he's got
a camera down there.
859
00:36:14,708 --> 00:36:16,958
He's definitely gonna get
some pictures and video.
860
00:36:17,125 --> 00:36:19,000
And he's gonna
show us what he sees.
861
00:36:19,125 --> 00:36:20,333
Good.
862
00:36:20,542 --> 00:36:22,417
Rick Lagina and Craig Tester
863
00:36:22,583 --> 00:36:25,417
join Scott Barlow in
the Money Pit area
864
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:28,417
where members of
Dumas Contracting Limited
865
00:36:28,625 --> 00:36:32,167
are struggling to stop the
mysterious flow of water
866
00:36:32,333 --> 00:36:35,292
that continues to
flood the Garden Shaft.
867
00:36:54,167 --> 00:36:55,167
Woah!
868
00:37:26,417 --> 00:37:28,958
So they're going 65 feet down,
where the water's coming in.
869
00:37:29,125 --> 00:37:31,333
And it seems to
be an isolated spot
870
00:37:31,458 --> 00:37:35,167
because they've drilled
around it and it's dry.
871
00:37:35,375 --> 00:37:37,375
- Hey, guys. -SCOTT: Hi, Roger.
- Hey.
872
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:39,083
How did it go down there?
873
00:37:39,250 --> 00:37:42,500
I got some pretty
weird things actually.
874
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:46,333
In there, there's
like a little cavern
875
00:37:46,542 --> 00:37:47,833
and it's full of
timber in there.
876
00:37:48,042 --> 00:37:49,667
It's really weird.
877
00:37:49,875 --> 00:37:52,000
Actually, I've got a picture
maybe I can show you.
878
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:54,833
There's a long void in there.
879
00:37:55,042 --> 00:37:56,375
So, you can see in here...
880
00:37:57,625 --> 00:38:00,625
So that's inside the cavity.
See these planks up there?
881
00:38:00,792 --> 00:38:03,083
They look like one-by-six
laid one on top of the other.
882
00:38:03,208 --> 00:38:04,628
- Wow.
- It's weird.
883
00:38:04,708 --> 00:38:06,167
It's just weird.
884
00:38:06,375 --> 00:38:08,542
- And it's not connected to my shaft.
- Wow.
885
00:38:08,708 --> 00:38:10,833
That makes this
very interesting.
886
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Yeah.
887
00:38:15,833 --> 00:38:18,417
There's a long void in
there. It's kind of really weird.
888
00:38:18,583 --> 00:38:20,667
And it's not
connected to the shaft.
889
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:22,333
Yeah.
890
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,333
It is a perplexing moment
891
00:38:24,542 --> 00:38:27,167
for Rick Lagina, Craig
Tester and their team
892
00:38:27,375 --> 00:38:29,333
in the Money Pit area
893
00:38:29,417 --> 00:38:32,000
as workers from Dumas
Contracting Limited
894
00:38:32,208 --> 00:38:34,083
were probe drilling in an effort
895
00:38:34,208 --> 00:38:36,167
to find the source
of the water flow
896
00:38:36,375 --> 00:38:38,542
that is currently flooding
the Garden Shaft.
897
00:38:38,708 --> 00:38:41,542
They discovered a
mysterious cavern
898
00:38:41,708 --> 00:38:43,625
just outside the structure
899
00:38:43,792 --> 00:38:49,000
at a depth of 65 feet that
contains wooden timbers.
900
00:38:49,208 --> 00:38:50,667
You'll see some
really good shots.
901
00:38:53,375 --> 00:38:54,417
Wow, look at that.
902
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:56,292
- That's quite a cavity.
- It is.
903
00:38:56,458 --> 00:38:58,708
Seeing the void or the cavity,
904
00:38:58,875 --> 00:39:02,417
your first thought,
of course, is...
905
00:39:02,542 --> 00:39:04,875
"You know, is this possibly
connected to an offset chamber
906
00:39:05,042 --> 00:39:08,292
"or a previously unknown
void, cavity, tunnel?
907
00:39:08,417 --> 00:39:09,875
And might it lead somewhere?"
908
00:39:10,042 --> 00:39:11,462
- That's horizontal there.
- That's right.
909
00:39:11,542 --> 00:39:13,958
That cavity is certainly
interesting, you know?
910
00:39:14,125 --> 00:39:15,337
Thought-provoking
at the very least.
911
00:39:15,417 --> 00:39:16,667
For sure.
912
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:19,420
But you've
got to get down there.
913
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:20,917
You've got to put
your eyes on it.
914
00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:24,167
And if it happens to
turn out to be true, wow.
915
00:39:24,375 --> 00:39:26,708
That would be amazing.
916
00:39:26,875 --> 00:39:28,375
And I know I'm anxious
917
00:39:28,542 --> 00:39:30,958
- to enlarge that hole if we can.
- For sure.
918
00:39:31,125 --> 00:39:32,170
- And have a look in there.
- Yeah.
919
00:39:32,250 --> 00:39:33,458
I think first thing's first.
920
00:39:33,583 --> 00:39:34,670
- We need to deal with the water.
- Yeah.
921
00:39:34,750 --> 00:39:36,375
Is it possible
922
00:39:36,542 --> 00:39:38,062
that a frustrating
setback for the team
923
00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:42,458
has actually led to a potential
breakthrough discovery
924
00:39:42,542 --> 00:39:45,250
that may help them solve
the Oak Island mystery?
925
00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:47,292
Unfortunately,
926
00:39:47,417 --> 00:39:50,542
they will have to first
stop the flow of water
927
00:39:50,708 --> 00:39:54,083
into the Garden Shaft before
they can find out for sure.
928
00:39:54,208 --> 00:39:56,170
It's pretty ironic, you know?
When you think about this,
929
00:39:56,250 --> 00:39:59,500
we're 200-plus years after
the first shaft was dug here
930
00:39:59,708 --> 00:40:01,378
and we're still dealing
with the same issues
931
00:40:01,458 --> 00:40:02,292
- that the first people were.
- Yeah.
932
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:03,545
- Exactly.
- Water coming in.
933
00:40:03,625 --> 00:40:04,833
But on some level,
934
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,125
that's what makes this
very interesting, right?
935
00:40:07,292 --> 00:40:09,417
- Yeah.
- The bottom line is this...
936
00:40:09,583 --> 00:40:11,333
You'll find a way
937
00:40:11,542 --> 00:40:13,333
and the tunnel is
still down there, right?
938
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:14,625
Yep.
939
00:40:14,792 --> 00:40:16,375
And, and look, at
the end of the day,
940
00:40:16,542 --> 00:40:18,500
you know, we'll all
put our heads together.
941
00:40:18,667 --> 00:40:19,962
- Yeah.
- And then collectively,
942
00:40:20,042 --> 00:40:22,458
we can have a-a good
idea of how to proceed.
943
00:40:23,458 --> 00:40:24,958
It's Charles who
says it all the time,
944
00:40:25,125 --> 00:40:27,667
"If this were easy, it
would've been done long ago."
945
00:40:27,875 --> 00:40:30,500
We're on Oak Island
for gosh sakes, right?
946
00:40:30,667 --> 00:40:31,833
Yeah.
947
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,333
228-year mystery.
948
00:40:33,458 --> 00:40:34,917
If we're gonna
let a little water
949
00:40:35,083 --> 00:40:37,625
say to us, "Well, you
know what? We're done."
950
00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:39,167
- "We're done."
- We're not!
951
00:40:39,375 --> 00:40:41,542
We're not done. So,
let's just keep going.
952
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:44,458
- Agreed.
- We can solve this together.
953
00:40:44,667 --> 00:40:46,583
- It's a plan.
- Thank you, Roger.
954
00:40:46,750 --> 00:40:49,167
Right
on. We'll get to it.
955
00:40:50,208 --> 00:40:55,500
Ever since the
discovery of the Money Pit in 1795,
956
00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:59,333
the Oak Island mystery has
remained a complex puzzle
957
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:02,833
that is missing a
number of critical pieces.
958
00:41:03,042 --> 00:41:06,500
Now, thanks to
the efforts of Rick,
959
00:41:06,667 --> 00:41:09,500
Marty, Craig and their team,
960
00:41:09,667 --> 00:41:12,083
the pieces needed
to complete the picture
961
00:41:12,250 --> 00:41:14,333
of what happened here long ago
962
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,708
may finally be
falling into place.
963
00:41:17,875 --> 00:41:20,375
But as they move
forward, determined
964
00:41:20,583 --> 00:41:23,875
to reach those answers, perhaps
965
00:41:24,042 --> 00:41:27,917
the ultimate question is,
will the island allow them
966
00:41:28,042 --> 00:41:30,708
to be revealed?
967
00:41:35,542 --> 00:41:37,875
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
968
00:41:38,083 --> 00:41:40,833
- Time to drain the swamp.
- Do it.
969
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,458
The swamp holds
secrets to the mystery.
970
00:41:43,625 --> 00:41:45,667
Look!
971
00:41:45,833 --> 00:41:47,333
That's interesting.
972
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:48,375
- What do you got?
- Holy crap!
973
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:50,208
It seems like jewelry.
974
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:52,708
A symbol found
on Templar churches
975
00:41:52,917 --> 00:41:55,250
pointing directly to Oak
Island and it is believed
976
00:41:55,375 --> 00:41:56,775
to represent the Holy Grail.
977
00:41:57,958 --> 00:42:00,875
If there's gold in
that void, that'd be huge.
978
00:42:02,167 --> 00:42:03,417
There's something there.
979
00:42:03,497 --> 00:42:05,497
