Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...

Look at this.

Wow.

- That's so cool.
- This is an important artifact.

Yeah.

Ooh, is that it?

That's gorgeous.

Whoa.

Here is the cave.

You can see some
sort of opening.

That's a
pretty clean right angle.

And that's not
natural, then, right?

There is an
island in the North Atlantic

where people have
been looking for

an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.

So far, they have
found a stone slab

with strange symbols
carved into it...

man-made workings
that date to medieval times,

and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected

to the Knights Templar.

To date, six men have died

trying to solve the mystery.

And according to legend,
one more will have to die

before the treasure
can be found.

So, here's the thing, guys.

You know, the Dumas
people have sent us an email

regarding the agenda
moving forward.

The timeline they proposed

for the completion
of the Garden Shaft,

I think we were,

- surprised by it.
- Right.

- Yep.
- As a new morning

begins on Oak Island,
brothers Rick and Marty Lagina,

along with their
partner Craig Tester,

have called an urgent
meeting in the war room

regarding the
ongoing difficulties

of deepening the Garden
Shaft in the Money Pit area.

The new timeline is,
of course, part of it,

is the issue with the weather.

There's a lot of
voids behind the shaft.

There's all kinds
of ancillary issues.

- It's a bit troubling.
- Yeah.

Yeah, this is a disconcerting
piece of news, Rick, Craig,

because, I mean,
the Garden Shaft

was probably one of
the big things this year

that we wanted to get
done, but the bottom line is,

the date they now have for
completion of just the deepening

has moved way off into the fall.

For the past three weeks,

representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited

have been working
tirelessly to halt

a mysterious inflow of
water into the structure

which has a current
depth of 87 feet.

While the team is uncertain
whether or not the water flow

is associated with the
legendary flood traps

that have plagued treasure
hunters in the Money Pit area

for more than two centuries,

it has delayed their efforts
to extend the Garden Shaft

down to a final
depth of some 95 feet.

It is here where the
team is on course

to breach a seven-foot-high
wooden tunnel.

A tunnel that leads due west
into the so-called "Baby Blob,"

where high-trace evidence
of gold, silver and other metals

have been detected
through water testing

between depths
of 80 and 120 feet.

Now, Rick, Marty,
Craig and the team

must find another way
to reach the valuables

that they have all but
proven to be buried deep

in the Money Pit area.

Let's call up our partners
and let's talk to them.

- Hello, guys. Welcome back to the war room.
- Hey, guys.

- Hello.
- Hello, Marty.

Well, w-we're in receipt of
your email, Cameron, Tony,

you know, about the-the
anticipated completion

of the Garden Shaft,
and, you know, clearly,

we're disappointed, but
we have to deal with it.

And so, we want to
do damage control.

So that's point one.

Yeah, understood, Marty.

You know, we have tried
to-to mitigate, you know,

that-that water ingress
as much as possible,

but it has delayed
us from, achieving

where we had hoped
to be at this point.

- Right.
- So, you know, our focus has been on

making sure that that
shaft is sustainable

moving forward.

We would like to continue

the work extending the shaft.

We would like to go to 95 feet,

so we can absolutely
determine whether or not

it's original depositional work.

As of right now, we're not
gonna deviate from that.

- Yeah.
- We want to go deep enough

to be able to put
that drill downhole

and go horizontal
at those depths.

And I guess the other
question is, though,

will the equipment
that's gonna be here

be able to plug those
wells after we're drilling

without water issues continuing?

Yeah, so, we've got the
Minova fellas coming in

and-and they're
gonna give us a hand

with Geofoam filling,
and that will fill the voids

in behind the shaft
and stabilize it again.

- That will be another week from now.
- Okay.

If Dumas can safely extend

the Garden Shaft
into the tunnel below,

the team can use a probe
drill capable of reaching

up to 40 feet outside
of the structure

to potentially
pinpoint the location

of the precious metals
that have been detected.

But first, representatives
from Dumas

will utilize Geofoam, an
industrial-grade material

that can expand up
to 40 times its size

to fill voids in the
walls of the structure

which will stabilize the shaft

and, hopefully, stop
the current flooding.

It remains extremely
important to be able to utilize

the Garden Shaft
for horizontal drilling.

We want to find this
treasure if it exists,

and the Garden Shaft
remains highly valuable

in that exercise.

If we can get the
40-plus feet out,

we can find out

what's outside in an
80-foot diameter circle.

Yeah, and we
are going to work together

to solve the challenges, always.

- Fair enough.
- Love to hear it.

Okay.
Gentlemen, appreciate it.

Let's make a shaft. Thank you.

- Thanks, guys.
- Take care guys. Thank you.

Take care. Bye-bye.

Okay.

All right, well, we are on the
same page with those guys.

- So, that's good.
- Yeah, I think, at this point,

the possibility of
doing caisson work

- is looming large, but where?
- Where?

I would like to
pump Aladdin's cave,

and if the metals hold
up, I'd vote for that.

You could maybe
put a can over it.

Yeah.

Nearly 60 feet southwest

of the Garden Shaft
and the Baby Blob,

the Oak Island team has
also been investigating

another spot in
the Money Pit area

where something of
great value could be buried:

a large cavern located
some 150 feet deep

that Marty has dubbed
"Aladdin's cave,"

due to the evidence of
wooden structures and gold

that have been detected there
through water sample testing.

What's that sitting

right on the end
of it, right there?

It looks like a bolt.

In addition,
the team has obtained

compelling sonar and
underwater images

inside of Aladdin's cave,

suggesting that it could
be a man-made chamber.

If they can recover
definitive evidence

that it contains treasure...

the team has the option to dig
a large diameter steel caisson,

as they have done in the
past, in the hopes of retrieving it.

I've been a proponent

of Aladdin's cave
ever since we found it.

I'm saying, "This needs
to be investigated."

What is clear is we need to get

a better image
of the whole thing.

So we need to
drill another hole.

And we need to think
about putting a caisson

down into this thing.

Well, I mean, I'm-I'm game

for looking into caissons,
I think it's a great idea.

There's a lot of
work to do there, so...

- let's head on out.
- All right, okay.

Well said.

Later that afternoon...

So, Bill, pull
that back a little bit,

- if you would.
- Yep.

In the
southeast corner of the swamp,

Rick Lagina, along
with his nephew Alex,

Gary Drayton and Billy Gerhardt

continue searching
for important clues

near the potentially
500-year-old stone road.

Keep Gary busy.

Since first uncovering
this massive feature in 2020,

the team has found
critical clues nearby,

such as ancient pieces
of wooden barrels

and a stone pathway,

suggesting that it may
have been used long ago

to unload valuable
cargo onto Oak Island.

Now the team hopes to
find more of the stone road,

and any valuable clues
that may help solve

the 229-year-old mystery.

There's more chain.

Look at that chain, yeah?

More chain.

Good eye.

Yep. Look, that's all connected.

- And this looks old.
- That does, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is definitely not
factory-made. This is crude.

Hey, Uncle Rick!

You might want to
come look at this.

Seems like the larger one
would be maybe to anchor that,

and then the smaller ones
would be for whatever you're doing.

Yep.

- It's hard to tell because of all the crusty stuff.
- Yeah.

- Hi, Gary.
- There you go, mate.

If we're looking for signs
of loading and unloading,

you'd need some
chains like this.

Wow.

Yeah, that's very cool.

You know what that
reminds me of is a multipoint.

- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?

You have this ring
and then you have

your three points off,
and there are four points.

- That's what that is.
- Yeah. -Yeah.

You have a three-point hitch,

it's gonna be
able to pull across

even something like a beach.

- Right?
- Yeah.

It's gonna keep it level.

That's a great find,

but there is more
here to be found, so...

- Yep.
- Yeah.

I've got a few
other things to check in on.

- You know, good luck...
- Okay.

And, good hunting.

- We'll take it from here.
- Okay, mate.

- See you soon.
- See you.

See you, mate.

- Okay.
- Okay, let's go through some more.

I got a hit.

I think that could
be in that wood.

On it. It's in there.

- That's it?
- It's on top.

Look at
that. That's gorgeous.

- Look at that. That's gorgeous.
- Yeah?

- It's a piece of wood.
- While excavating

near the stone road

in the southeast
corner of the swamp,

metal detection
expert Gary Drayton,

Alex Lagina and Billy Gerhardt

have just found a
potentially important clue.

Yep, there's
definitely some iron here.

You can see it.

- Iron oxide.
- Yeah.

Might be the top of the spike.

- I'll set this aside, too.
- Yeah, please.

- Well, let's see what else we can get out.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we still got
another hit in here.

Thought there might be.

See if it's there.

Let's see.

We got some...

Ho, ho, ho. Look.

That's the
pointy end of the spike.

Look at the black
spike in the wood.

This is one of those
old rosehead spikes,

by the look of the
top, that bevel on it.

And that would
make it pretty old, right?

Yeah,
yeah. This is old.

Yeah, a spike like
that looks like it's from

- the 1700s or older.
- Great.

This actually might
be a smaller ship spike

- or wharf pin.
- This corner of the swamp,

- it's the one that just keeps on giving.
- Yeah.

It might indicate that it
was part of a structure.

- Yeah, it's... it'll help us with our database.
- Yeah.

An iron spike embedded in wood?

Could Billy Gerhardt be correct

that they offer evidence
of a buried structure?

Before his passing in 2016,

legendary Oak Island
treasure hunter Fred Nolan

reported to Rick Lagina that
he had once found evidence

of a dam feature
in this same area.

A dam that may have been used

to artificially
create the swamp.

Could the team have
just found evidence

of what Fred believed is hidden
beneath the south shore road?

This is gonna
mean a lot to my Uncle Rick.

So, I want to see what
we keep digging up.

Well, that was a
heck of a dig, mate.

We got a shipload of finds.

We're gonna be taking a
lot of artifacts back to the lab.

- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

All right, mate,
ready for the next scoop.

Okay.

As operations
continue in the swamp

and in the Money Pit area...

As we're all keenly aware,

this structure on
Lot 5 has turned into

into a much bigger
rectangular structure.

Yeah.

Rick has
joined his brother Marty,

Jack Begley,
archaeologist Laird Niven

and archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan

in the Interpretive Centre.

If it's literally as big

as we think it is,
then, it's a big deal.

- Yeah. And...
- It's a large structure.

And we're starting
to find more artifacts.

Emma and Laird

have conducted scientific
analysis on an iron artifact

as well as a carved stone

that were found one week
ago in the large foundation

that was recently discovered

below the circular stone
depression on Lot 5,

located on the western
side of the island.

This is what Jamie
called the "carved stone."

I have an idea of what it is.

- So, what is this?
- It's a whetstone.

- Is it a whetstone?
- There you go.

For sharpening tools.

I would expect knives.

- Yeah?
- You can see the grooves.

- Right? Yeah.
- Yeah.

That's a technique that
hasn't changed in forever.

No, exactly.

Although the
practice of sharpening tools

dates back thousands of years,

whetstones, commonly
made from sandstone or slate,

have been used since
the first century AD.

I'd say that
is the working side.

But the real tell...

I got Emma to XRF it.

Okay, so we get to
know composition?

Even better than that.

Earlier this morning,

Emma analyzed the artifacts

An X-ray
fluorescence spectrometer

that uses X-rays to
identify the elements

that make up an
object's composition,

and the SkyScan 1273 CT scanner

which emits
nondestructive radiation

to penetrate built-up corrosion,

revealing finer
physical details.

With the XRF,

we can actually see
the iron content where...

- To know where...
- they sharpened the... yeah...

They sharpened
their tools or knives.

That makes
it basically definitive.

- Yeah.
- This was a sharpening tool.

Exactly.

Okay, well, I am curious
about the next one.

Jamie called this
a decorative piece of iron.

And she thought it was

ornately decorating a box.

- And there might have been a design on it, too.
- Yeah.

Looks like a crochet hook.

The CT scan does show us

- it used to be straight.
- Okay.

So, that's with
its current iron state.

So the red is the
oxidized irons.

And the original iron remaining
is actually this blue color.

There's not a lot left.

- No.
- I don't see any decoration.

We have singularly unique pieces

found in association
with that feature.

And we should compare
that metallurgical analysis

with others found at the site.

Let me just run a
comparison, real quick.

If it matches, that
would be meaningful.

Its aluminum-to-silicon ratio

matches 17th-century English.

Just looking at the
spectrum, the composition,

I'd say it's similar to
Phips, it's just not 100%.

I like that.

So far this year,

the team has unearthed
several metal artifacts

in the mysterious
foundation on Lot 5

that have been
scientifically connected

to the 17th-century
English politician

and privateer Sir William Phips.

A man who is believed by
some to have buried up to 50 tons

of Spanish silver and gold
in the Money Pit back in 1687.

You can see

the two, structural failures.

Could the team have found

another critical
clue to identify

who constructed the
mysterious feature on Lot 5?

If so, might that also explain

the high-trace evidence
of precious metals

that have been
detected in the Baby Blob

or in Aladdin's cave?

We have a match
between metallurgy of items

found on the Lot 5 feature

with artifacts from the
Phips residence in Maine.

You can't throw out

this Sir William Phips
connection to Oak Island.

I think it was
buried for a reason.

I think the key lies

beneath the rocks
at the very bottom.

- Yeah.
- These things

in front of us indicate

it's important to keep going
on, but in order to do that,

- we got to get out back.
- Let's do it.

So, Laird, thank you.
Emma, thank you.

- Okay. Take care.
- See you.

- Let's do it.
- Let's go.

The following morning...

15-ish more
feet to go, gentlemen,

- and we're away to the races.
- All right.

In the Money Pit
area, Alex Lagina

and other members of
the team are overseeing

the drilling of Borehole KL-15.

A borehole where they hope
to breach a mysterious cavern

known as Aladdin's cave,

located some 150
feet below ground.

This is the most unique feature

we've found underground
in the Money Pit area.

If we see something in
there worth recovering,

we'll get in it.

This is gonna be 148.

- 148? Okay.
- Yep. 20 per run.

Well, I don't know.

Let's carve it up
and have a look.

Yeah.

That is bizarre.

We seem to have a line

of demarcation right here

between this very,
very fine material

and that relatively
coarse material.

But we should've went
into the open cavern.

Yeah.

Hey, Mike. How you doing?

Not too good of news.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- So, we didn't hit it?
- We did.

- You did hit it?
- Yeah. Probably about 147.

- What?
- Yeah, and if you look at this stuff, it's...

like, this is what's getting
pulled into my casing,

- Yeah.
- That sandy...

- It's full of slush.
- I think so, yeah.

Our worst-case scenario
here is things have collapsed

- from above.
- Yeah.

So, I'm a little
worried that we had

a collapse down there.
Is that what you think?

Yeah.

I think I'd
better give Rick a call

- and explain the situation to him.
- Sure.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey.

Hey.

So, we don't have real good news

- regarding the cave.
- Yeah.

After being
alerted of a potentially devastating

development in the large
cavern known as Aladdin's cave

in the Money Pit area...

I guess the short
explanation is,

there is reason to
believe that the cavity

- may have collapsed.
- What?

Rick Lagina has
gathered members of the team

in the war room to
discuss the situation

with Marty Lagina
and Craig Tester,

who join them via
video conference.

So, here's what happened.

We drilled down to
about 146-ish feet.

And we got some infill.

Obviously, if it collapsed,

the material had to
come from somewhere.

I think that cave is important.

So, I'd be disappointed
if the whole roof fell in.

- Yep.
- Yep.

A plausible
location for some sort

of treasure would
be in Aladdin's cave

because of the fact that
there are high concentrations

of precious metals,
dissolved in the water,

and high amounts
of organic material,

which indicate, perhaps,
wood in the water.

We're not gonna give
up on Aladdin's cave.

It's possible it wasn't,
like, a total collapse of the feature.

Maybe one of the walls gave
way and there was a bit of a slump.

Having said that,

we have a lot of data

and I think we need to
find a way to assimilate it all.

Between the camera, the sonar,

let's get a very
competent understanding

of what we have currently

and then decide
how to move forward.

I agree with Rick.

Let's get, I don't know,
maybe Paul and maybe Steve

to just look at all the
data and see what we got.

Given what our current
understanding of the cave is,

if a collapse has happened
or a partial collapse,

then we need to
understand it completely

and figure out, you know,
what we can do moving forward.

So it's imperative to gather
all the information we have

about Aladdin's
cave, and from there,

we may be able to try
to learn more about it.

There's a bit of a bright
spot actually which is that

the other hole was one where
we got another vantage point

in the cave for the, 3D sonar.

And when we put the data
together maybe we'll be able

- to say exactly what's down there.
- We'll see.

All right, guys,
thanks for the update.

Let's just see what
the data suggests.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

All right. See ya.

- Talk to you later.
- Bye.

Later that afternoon...

We're gonna remove these stones.

- Ideally, we want to see a nice wall.
- Yeah.

Jack Begley has joined

archaeologist Laird Niven
and other members of the team

as they continue investigating

the mysterious
foundation located on Lot 5

for not only more clues

that might explain
why it was built

but also to determine

if it contains
something of value.

We still don't know
exactly what this is.

One way to find out.

Let's keep digging and
figure out what it is. Yeah.

While Laird, Jack, Fiona,

Moya and Lindy
clear soil and debris

away from the stones to expose

more of the structure,
Jamie and Helen will sift

the collected spoils
for artifacts and clues.

Hey, so Laird, we've got this
piece of ceramic from up there.

There's no glaze on it.

It could be white salt
glazed. I think it's stoneware.

Which is mid-16s to mid-1700s.

I like that.

- Find the rest of it, please. Thanks.
- Yeah, will do. Okay.

We're finding a lot of evidence

that this feature,
it could well be

related to William Phips.

But why was it there?

And the obvious connection
would be with the Money Pit.

If you, accept
the assumption that

that was a
large-scale operation.

I'm hoping as we get deeper,

we're gonna find even
more evidence to who built it.

Hey, Jamie.

So, as I'm in here,

I'm noticing that I'm not
finding any more rocks

out here, so it almost
looks like the wall,

maybe it's ending here.

Hey, Laird.

Kind of getting
interesting over here.

If you look at the angle,

perpendicular to the
possible wall there.

It... could it be the
entrance to a cellar?

- Maybe?
- It could.

Could be a staircase?

That's interesting.

A possible staircase?

If it really does lead

to yet another buried level

of the mysterious structure,
then just what might it contain?

It's starting to look
like something.

- I'll jump back in there.
- All righty.

Stone structures
and features like that are

really interesting for us
because they can tell us

a-a bigger picture story.

We have some indications
that there's actually

more below-ground features
that we haven't seen yet.

Holy cow!

What is that?

Look at this!

Wow.

Look at this!

- Wow.
- You have got to see this.

- My goodness.
- Isn't that gorgeous? How nice.

While
investigating a possible staircase

that may lead to
another hidden level

of the stone
structure on Lot 5...

Wow.
That's really neat.

Archaeologist
Jamie Kouba has just made

a potentially
important discovery.

It's a gorgeous, decorated bead.

Wow. What would
that be made out of?

- Glass.
- That's what it looks like.

- You think it's Venetian glass?
- I don't know yet.

What would be the tell-tale sign

that it is Venetian?

Size, technique, the chemistry.

- It's actually relatively rare.
- Whoa.

Decorative glass
beads have been traded among cultures

dating back thousands of years
to the times of Ancient Egypt.

However, in 1470 AD,

glassmakers in Venice, Italy

developed a new technique
for mass-producing glass beads

that became renowned
throughout Europe and Asia

as they were not only used

to adorn clothing
and religious relics

but were also exchanged as
a high-valued form of currency.

So we can get a rather
definitive date off of this?

That's what we're hoping.

This is an important artifact.

And I think it's gonna
pull the date back a bit.

Is it possible that the team

has found a potentially
500-year-old Venetian bead

in the stone
foundation on Lot 5?

If so, could it offer
evidence that the feature is

even older than the team
previously thought possible?

The surprising thing is

the amount of different
types of artifacts

that are popping up.

It means that this was
a heavily occupied area

for quite some time.

So, why has it remained
hidden for so long?

This is the first
bead we've found.

I hope we find more.

Yeah. Absolutely.

Later that afternoon...

I like the
look of this material.

In the
southeast corner of the swamp...

That's good stuff.

Jack Begley has joined

metal detection
expert Gary Drayton

and Billy Gerhardt

to continue searching
for additional clues

and evidence of
buried structures

near the massive stone road.

That is worth digging.

I think it's out.

It's a little bit of
some scrappy signal

but see what we've got.

It's coming out.

- There it is.
- Wow!

And we've got something
really, really cool.

- Yeah.
- Look at the size of that.

I believe that that is
some kind of fastener.

- Yeah!
- And that looks like it's wrought iron.

You know, we're talking
1700s or older with this.

Brilliant.

A potentially
ancient iron fastener?

Could it be related
to the stone road,

which may have once
been part of a ship's wharf?

Or could it be more evidence
of the buried dam feature

that Fred Nolan claimed
to have found in this area

more than three decades ago?

I can't wait until it's
cleaned up in the lab...

- Yeah.
- And we can see what it really is.

That is a beauty. Come
here, my little beauty.

All right, we'll bag it
and keep scanning.

Sweet find, Gary.

The following morning...

Hey, Carmen.

Good day.
Good day. How are you?

Rick, Craig
and members of the team

meet with blacksmithing expert

Carmen Legge in
the Interpretive Centre

to get his assessment
of several artifacts

that have been
recovered this week

near the stone
road in the swamp.

Where would you like to start?

This fastener
that's inside the wood.

I'm looking at it

and I see one, two
handmade nails inserted along

- inside the bigger item.
- Any idea on what

it might have been used
for, just based on that?

A lot of times,
things were driven

into walls where you needed

to hang lanterns for
light in tight spaces,

like underground, to
illuminate the space.

Could Carmen
Legge be correct that this fastener

may have been used to aid
in the building of a structure

in the southeast
corner of the swamp?

If so, could it be more
evidence that the brackish bog

was artificially made,
as Fred Nolan believed?

It makes the next
finds we're gonna show you

even more interesting.

This is a big piece of iron.

Okay.

This is not a-a
spike. It's a tool.

So, is it a chisel?

- What is it?
- No. Its-it's...

Yep. Yep.

Might set planking
in a ship, perhaps.

In the timber
construction of a ship.

- Yes.
- What date would you give

something like this?

Um...

I'm gonna say
1600 to late 1700s.

There's always
been the speculation

that a ship foundered
in the swamp

and that it was covered up.

So, why were they there?

And are there any
artifacts at a greater depth?

Maybe Craig, you can help
me sort of straighten this out.

Okay.

This hook is very old.

And why is that?

Because the hooks made
in the later time periods

had a curve in the shank.

This has a straight shaft
coming down and, um,

a heavy curl on the end here.

So I would say that is
definitely not past 1650.

Whoa.

Wow.

That is
definitely not past 1650.

And I would even go
back to the 1500s on that.

- Whoa.
- Wow.

In the Oak
Island Interpretive Centre,

blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge

has just given
his expert opinion

that the large hook found one
day ago in the southeast corner

of the swamp could be
more than 500 years old.

The design or
the... stylistically?

The design and the weight of it.

The chain itself...

from here to the ring is also

the same time
period as the hook.

Wow.

Now, each one of these
links are handmade.

However, the three
chains on the end here

are all machine-made.

Really? So...

basically what you are saying
then, this was, you know,

cannibalized
together, if you will.

And an older piece was
attached to a modern piece.

What would...? Let's
forget this chain.

What would that
have been used for?

A setup like this with
three chains fastened

to a central link was
used to lift or drag things.

A lot of times they would
hang from a boom to load

a cargo onto a harbor.

Like, a chest or a trunk.

Is it possible
that the original use of this hook,

and at least part of the
chain connected to it,

were used to move valuable cargo

from a ship onto the stone road

and then to somewhere
on Oak Island

as much as five centuries ago?

If so, who modified
the chain at a later time?

And was it repurposed
in order to hide

something else of
value here, as well?

I think at this point, given
the amount of artifacts

that have been recovered
at the swamp's edge,

that might be related
to ship activities,

there is reason to believe that
there was an old wharf there.

So if you found such
a structure, it had to be

closely associated
with the original work.

We may find more, and
we may find something

that helps us connect the dots.

Carmen, we thank you
very much for your insight.

- You haven't heard the last of us.
- Well, very good.

- Thank you. Take care.
- See you, Carmen.

- That's interesting.
- Yeah, it is.

Later that afternoon...

Guys, this is
going to be really interesting.

We're gonna talk about
the fabled Aladdin's cave.

In the war room, Rick, Marty

and Craig have gathered
members of the team

for a follow-up
meeting regarding

the mysterious cavern
located some 150 feet deep

in the Money Pit area
known as Aladdin's cave.

These gentlemen have
done a deep dive into it.

And we eagerly
await your findings.

Okay, so we did
several sonar scans

and video scans for
this cave anomaly.

We tagged into it in a
couple different boreholes.

Because the
team fears that part of the cave

may have collapsed
earlier this week,

Paul Troutman,
surveyor Steve Guptill

and geoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner

have further processed
all of the visual

and water sampling data that
was previously collected inside

the feature in order
to determine not only

if it could be
man-made, but, also,

if it might contain
something of great value.

So I think I'm gonna
jump into the videos.

On the left is what we recorded.

On the right is
Pro-Hawk's version.

Geez.

The video
files, which were originally

recorded earlier this
year, have been refined

by Pro-Hawk Technology Group,

a company that specializes
in the enhancement of images

that were originally captured
in harsh or low-lit environments.

Yeah, so this is
what everybody noticed.

- The bolt.
- Yeah.

It's something that
looked completely different

from anything else we'd seen.

There is a little
flat area around it, too,

which is different than the rest.

Does that make more
sense that it's human-made?

Why would a bolt be there?

Well, it could be stuck
in a piece of wood like we find.

So let's keep going.

I think there is a
feature that you want to see.

There.

You were looking
for right angles,

there's a right
angle we could find.

That's a pretty
clean right angle.

Yeah. That's pretty clean.

What is this?

You wouldn't get that
right angle naturally.

It's been dug out before.

I wonder if this is the opening

that we're looking for.

That we're looking for.

Wow.

- You wouldn't get that right angle naturally.
- Right.

I wonder if this is the
opening that we're looking for.

Wow.

The flat surface and the corner.

To me, could be
potentially man-made.

That might be.

In the Oak Island war room,

Rick, Marty, Craig

and members of the
team have just seen

enhanced video
evidence of a potentially

man-made entrance connected

to the large cavern
known as Aladdin's cave,

located approximately
150 feet deep

in the Money Pit area.

We do see some right angles.

Right angles generally
don't exist in nature.

But it could be
partially collapsed.

The magnitude of it is
yet to be determined.

- There's more. Right?
- There is.

There you go.

So this here is what we deem

to be a possible opening
heading westward.

And so I will show you the sonar

- and it sort of confirms that.
- Okay.

So what you're looking at here

is a bird's-eye
view of the cave.

North is up, just for reference. Okay.

So, when we were westward,

- and you can see that opening.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna change some
color here, too, and jump down.

So the opening is right here.

Okay.

The sonar images
are quite beautiful and

it certainly suggested
a possible way in.

That's important.

If you can't get in,
nothing can be in there.

So, when we
look down at the cavity,

we've got a few
different things to show.

So from this point to
this point is about 25 feet.

North/south is about 15.

And the deepest
portion of the cavity,

- right here, is about ten feet deep.
- Okay.

And you can see that the
cave sits nicely at 150 feet.

And you can see somewhat
of an opening heading east,

somewhat of an
opening heading west.

- Right.
- Perfect.

Okay, so, Ian, what
does that tell you?

To me, I see this connected
to some man-made features.

But the bottom line
is, it's collecting gold

and silver values
in that cavity.

- And the wood.
- Yeah.

- So either the wood's in there.
- Right.

Or is it connected
to a structure

- where wood is?
- Right.

And is that where the
metals are coming from, too?

Right. Yep.

And when you guys are
ready, we've got one more video.

Okey doke.

- Go for it.
- So last video.

We're looking
into the cave here.

So we're just
coming down into it.

So, this is in the
southern edge of the cave.

And there's a look at the floor.

Looks like it might
be sort of collapsed

around the debris
that's all fallen in.

I'd say this thing
has collapsed over time.

- Yeah.
- Maybe...

it hides the evidence of
what you're looking for.

Right? If they...

I'd really like to put a caisson

in that because I want to
bring some of that material up

and wash through it.

'Cause if there is bits of wood,

or anything in there,

you know, then it could
lead on to more discoveries.

Yeah. I agree with that.

- Yeah, let's do that.
- Right.

- I would say so. Yeah.
- You would?

Okay.

Aladdin's cave

continues to provide
tantalizing clues.

The levels of metals
and the levels of organics

suggest strongly the
presence of something there.

The clues strongly
suggest there's a reason

to put a caisson in that area.

We don't see
what we hoped to see,

that being man-made objects.

But a collapse would hide
what could've been on the floor.

I don't know when
we're going to get

back to it, but it is
certainly on the list.

I think everybody in
this room still believes

that there's a very intriguing,
compelling mystery here.

And that is a good thing.

All right, I think
we're done here for today.

- Good job, gentlemen.
- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Okay. Let's go.
- Fair enough.

At the end of
another week on Oak Island,

Rick, Marty, Craig and
their team are facing

the most daunting challenges
they have ever encountered

in their quest to solve
a 229-year-old mystery.

However, the clues

and evidence of hidden valuables

that they continue to
unearth all across the island

suggest that the
answers they seek

are well worth the pursuit.

And perhaps it's
just a matter of time

before the ultimate reward,

which could rewrite
North American history,

will finally be theirs.

Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...

- Can you go deeper, Billy?
- Definitely.

Whoa!

There's a structure.

These are massive.

A piece of Oak Island history.

Whoa!

I hit the void at 183.

That's what we want.

Do you think we hit the anomaly?

What we have here is
a void that encapsulates

- the Chappell structure.
- Yeah!

That's the treasure
of the Money Pit

that was never recovered.
