Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...

- What the hell have you got there?
- A big chunk of steel.

That could
be the drill that found

the famous Chappell Vault.

Like a small jewelry
chest or something.

Which means it could've been

part of any treasure
that was here.

Look at that. A coin.

- What?
- Cool.

Wow.

- There's a boulder.
- It looks similar to

- the stone roadway.
- Yeah.

This could be very important.

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.

- Hey, Roger.
- Hey, how's it going, Alex?

- Good. Good to see you again.
- Nice to see you.

So, what's the update?
What's going on?

Well, we're finally
moving ahead now.

Good.

As a new
week begins on Oak Island,

brothers Rick and Marty
Lagina and their team

have good reason to believe

that they are on
course to finally solve

a 229-year-old mystery.

We've pretty well dealt
with all that water situation

we were dealing with.

It's all stabilized.

The geofoam is
in and it went well?

Yeah, it was amazing.
It was amazing.

And now we've got

- full control of the water.
- Good.

- All right, here we go.
- Let's do this.

Five weeks ago,
the Oak Island team's efforts

to deepen the early
18th-century Garden Shaft

down to a target
depth of 95 feet

were halted when
mysterious voids

outside of the structure

caused it to flood
with salt water.

This is where our
water starts, right here.

And then it comes
in along the side.

This made the team
wonder if they had encountered

one of the legendary
flood tunnels

which have thwarted
searchers in this area

for more than two centuries.

Especially since a
seven-foot-high tunnel

was recently discovered
just below the Garden Shaft

which leads toward
the Baby Blob,

an area where water
testing has revealed

high trace evidence
of gold and silver

between 80 and
120 feet underground.

Tell us what we're going to do.

Well, we're going to
pump some foam in her

and try to get
your voids filled up.

But, thankfully, last week,

representatives from
Minova Global began applying

an industrial compound
known as geofoam

to fill the voids,
stop the flow of water

and stabilize the shaft

so that Dumas
Contracting Limited

can continue
deepening the structure

over the course of
the next several weeks

and finally reach the
possible treasure tunnel below.

Now, if we can
get into this tunnel,

and if the tunnel's
original works,

then it probably leads
to something good,

so we could be close.

We're going to geofoam
everything nice and tight,

and then after that,
we're going to excavate,

install a panel, excavate,
install a second panel,

- excavate.
- Okay, so it's basically

digging again?

- Digging again.
- I see you've got the grab on.

Exactly. We just
started digging,

so we'll be very close
to that 89-foot depth.

At 89 feet, we're getting close

to that 95-foot tunnel.

But I'm really excited
to get down to depth

and see what's down there.

Absolutely.
For sure. For sure.

The last two or three
days have been, you know,

upbeat because the guys
were finally moving ahead.

- Right.
- Getting away from this water, so yeah.

Right. Perfect. Well,
thank you, Roger.

- Sounds good, man.
- I'll let you get back to it.

- Absolutely.
- Thanks.

Talk to you later.

Later that afternoon,

as Dumas continues their
work in the Garden Shaft,

nearly 73 feet to
the southwest...

- Hey, Marty.
- What's going on here?

So what we're doing here, Marty,

this hole is about five
feet southwest of H-8.

Marty Lagina joins

Oak Island historian
Charles Barkhouse,

geologist Terry Matheson,

and surveyor Steve Guptill

as they supervise the drilling

of borehole I.25-6.25.

A borehole that, incredibly,

may be on track to locate

a second potential
treasure deposit

in the Money Pit area

more than 180 feet underground.

The plug that
fell out of the H-8 caisson,

that could've fallen
in this direction.

Okay.

Mike, what's up?

I hit the void at 183.

All right, so let's
see what we got.

One week ago, while drilling

borehole K-6, just
eight feet to the south,

the team penetrated
a mysterious void

at a depth of 183 feet.

It is a potentially
critical discovery

because the void is
adjacent to borehole H-8,

which the Oak Island team
excavated six years ago

with a 50-inch diameter
caisson that they believe

may have come into contact
with the fabled Chappell Vault

which was first reported
by Frederick Blair

and his drill operator
William Chappell in 1897.

During the team's excavation,

at a depth of nearly 180 feet,

they attempted to
penetrate the possible vault,

and encountered a large void

which caused
the spoils, or plug,

inside of the H-8
caisson to fall out,

resulting in the believed vault

being pushed deeper and
somewhere off to the side.

- How deep are we?
- Down 78 feet.

We got two more cores coming.

We're gonna take
a look at those.

Now it is the team's hope

that with this new borehole,
they can further explore

the void they discovered
last week and hopefully

locate the long-lost
Chappell Vault.

There's the top of the next run.

88 feet.

Okay, let's carve her up, guys.

- Excuse me, Steve-O.
- Sorry, Terry.

No problem. Okay.

There's the top.

- So at some point...
- We got some wood here.

Charles, where do
you think the wood came from?

It possibly
could be the Chappell Shaft.

That's interesting.

We could be skimming
along the outside edge.

The Chappell Shaft?

In 1931, Melbourne Chappell,

along with his father William

and Frederick Blair,

constructed a 12-foot
by 14-foot shaft

down to a depth of 163 feet
in order to locate the vault.

Unfortunately, they
were unsuccessful.

But if the Oak Island team is
correct that they have found

the outer edge of
the Chappell Shaft...

could that offer
an important clue

that they are in
the general area

where the vault is located?

Okay.

Whoa!

What the
hell have you got there?

Big chunk of steel.

- There you go.
- Whoa, Mike! What the heck?

This came out of the top
of this sample right here.

- Yeah, really?
- Really?

Yeah.

Could this
be old-time drill pipe?

Because we know they
drilled in these holes

and we know they
used skinny pipe.

No question.

I think so, it's heavy enough.

That could be
the drill that found

the famous Chappell Vault.

- Perhaps.
- That could be it, right?

They used a skinny little drill.

Back in the 1890s, they did.

If we found
something meaningful here

just below the Chappell Shaft,

we could put down
another caisson.

If we see something
worth getting...

we will get to it.

Well done, you guys.

Follow that pipe on down.

- Find the Chappell Vault.
- All right.

Go get it.

While the operations continue

in the Money Pit area...

We're back.

It's time to get to work.

Along the southern border

of the triangle-shaped swamp,

metal detection
expert Gary Drayton,

Jack Begley

and Billy Gerhardt continue

looking for important clues

near a potentially
500-year-old stone road

or ship's wharf.

What is the battle plan, mate?

Are we going deeper there

or are you taking
this section out?

We'll try to go along the
edge of where that log was.

We are ready for
some artifacts, mate.

Okay, me too.

In recent weeks,

the team has made a number
of compelling new discoveries

in this area including new
sections of the stone road,

an ancient chain and hook

that may have been
used to lift heavy cargo,

and evidence of a wooden wall,

which the late Fred Nolan
believed may have been used

to artificially create the
swamp hundreds of years ago.

What's that?

- Look at that there.
- It's a rock, isn't it?

- No. It's a notched piece of wood.
- It's wood?

- Yeah.
- It is.

I thought it was a
rock by the look of it.

Look at the notch in that.

- Yeah.
- That was pretty deep, Billy.

Yeah. No.
Well, I mean, you see,

we're below the bottom
of the swamp, right?

You know, the
bottom of the swamp

is up there where
the road is, right?

Yeah.

So, is this a
naturally filled beach?

Or was it filled by humans?

It kind of speaks
towards it being filled in.

They were forming and
cutting wood in this area.

Right.

Let's get Rick
over here, check this out.

How's it going, Rick?

I don't see a treasure chest.

We're trying,
mate. We're trying.

We have found some
strange pieces of wood.

Let me go grab them.

After being alerted

to a compelling discovery
near the stone road

in the southeast corner
of the Oak Island swamp...

So, this piece came up

when we were digging
along the muck in the side.

Rick Lagina
arrives to personally inspect it.

Yeah. Look. That's doweled.

If you hold it like that,

see how the dowel has gone down?

If I were to suggest

that this is anything

like what we found before,

I think that it's something
like the U-shaped structure.

There's a big log.

In 2018,
Rick, Marty and the team

unearthed a mysterious
65-foot-long wooden construct

at Smith's Cove known
as "the U-shaped structure."

You got a Roman numeral?

Yeah, if it
is, it's a seven, VII.

First discovered
by Dan Blankenship in the 1970s,

and believed to be
associated with a flood tunnel

that feeds seawater
into the Money Pit area,

the "U-shaped structure"
featured strange Roman numerals,

and hand-carved wooden dowels.

Similar sized dowel,
like the U-shaped structure,

they went in at an angle

and thus, this part is meant to

hold it in place.

Is it possible

that the team has found evidence

beneath the stone
road in the swamp

that suggests it
may have been built

by the same people who
created the "U-shaped structure"?

And perhaps the
Money Pit itself?

The good thing is, if
we decide this is an outer edge,

then that's where the
best C-14 dates are.

Yeah, but clearly, shaped
wood that was thrown

underneath this stone path.

And that's why we
got to keep digging.

- Yeah.
- Yep.

Let's find some more.

Let's find some more.

As Rick, Jack, Gary and Billy

continue searching in the swamp,

on Lot 5,

located on the western
side of the island...

Hello, archaeologists.

- Hey.
- Hi.

How's it going out here?

- It's going.
- Going good.

Alex Lagina joins

Jamie Kouba, Fiona Steele

and Lindy Martin

as they carefully investigate

a mysterious,
circular stone feature

and a much larger,
rectangular foundation

that was recently
unearthed below it.

So what's
new? How's it coming?

So, what we're doing now,
we've expanded the unit over.

- We're finding artifacts all the way through the fill.
- Okay.

Since acquiring
Lot 5 just one year ago,

Rick, Marty, Craig
Tester and the team

have made a number of
discoveries in this feature

that suggest it may have
been a staging ground

for whoever might have
buried treasure in the Money Pit.

These finds include

a 500-year-old
Venetian glass bead,

a 14th-century lead barter token

that may be connected
to the lead cross

unearthed at
Smith's Cove in 2017,

and several metal tools

that have been
scientifically matched

to the homestead
of Sir William Phips,

the 17th-century English
privateer from Maine

who some believe
buried a vast cache

of Spanish treasure on
Oak Island back in 1687.

So, one of the things
that we now realize

is that this sort of linear
feature that we were looking at

isn't actually a
wall that was there.

What we're seeing are
rocks that are going past it.

- Okay.
- So, this structure may be

quite a bit bigger than
we ever gave it credit for.

Right, but whatever
was happening here,

the bigger it gets, the
bigger the operation, right?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

The overall
size of the dimensions

speak to more
people being involved

than just, say, a single family.

Right. So, we got
kind of an operation

happening here that
we know nothing about.

Yes. Exactly.

It could be exactly
what we're looking for.

Hopefully, yeah.
We got some more work to do.

- Okay. Well, I'll start sifting.
- Perfect.

Thank you.

- I'll grab buckets.
- Perfect.

While the
archaeologists carefully remove

the soils from the foundation,

Alex will sift the
collected materials

for any clues and,
hopefully, valuables.

Hey, this is kind
of something different.

My goodness.

- Look how flat it is.
- Yeah.

- Look, you can see almost three rivets on it.
- Yeah.

- Maybe the top of a trunk?
- Decorative, for sure.

- Metallic piece?
- Yeah.

Just, we find a lot of
iron, but we don't often find

a lot of the flatter pieces
and that one looks,

you know, kind of decorative.

Yeah. I see that's the
rivet right there, maybe? Yeah.

So that's just something
a bit more decorative.

It hints to something
else, you know?

- It looks like something you might find on a trunk.
- Yeah.

If it is off a chest,
it would be rugged,

it would be a big one.

Yeah.

- A
- decorative iron artifact?

Potentially from
a trunk or chest?

If so, what did it contain?

And could it be related

to the trace evidence
of precious metals

that have been detected
in the Money Pit area?

Well, whatever this is,
we have the equipment

in the lab that we
can take a scan of this

and basically see
through all the crust on it

and hopefully get a
better idea of what it is.

So, let's bag it up.

And then we'll await
the results of that.

That's great.

As the investigation

proceeds on Lot 5...

Ooh. Look at that.

What have you found, Rick?

I found some wood chips.

Rick Lagina,
along with Jack Begley,

Billy Gerhardt and Gary Drayton,

continue making potentially
important discoveries

in the southern
region of the swamp.

Look at this.

Here's a big timber.

There's some other bigger
pieces of wood over here.

Underneath the
cobblestone road or this edge.

Excellent. Might be
some fasteners in it.

- Correct.
- Yep.

I think it's the
edge of the road.

- Yep.
- Yep.

I think what we have to
do, Bill, is push these back

and then take this
row of rock out of here

to get to the top of that wood,

- be able to have a good look.
- Yep.

Stylistically, it
might show some type

of construction technique.

All right.

If you have a construct
there, built by humans,

if you can definitively
say that that construct

was a manipulation of the
swamp to some agenda,

boy, that'd be huge.

You know, it makes you think,

"What else might they
have hidden in the bog?"

- Is that a chip of wood?
- No, it's shaped.

I think what we have
to do, Bill, is leave that.

Marty and Craig need
to take a look at it.

Yep. Okay.

- Hey, guys.
- Welcome back, guys.

This is another fine mess
you've made here, I see.

- We have made a heck of a mess.
- Yeah. Yeah.

At the southern
border of the Oak Island swamp,

Marty Lagina and Craig Tester

join Rick Lagina and
other members of the team

to inspect the wooden
structure that was just unearthed

beneath the stone road.

- That's the edge.
- Really?

- You believe it ended right there?
- Yeah.

There was two logs
underneath the edge of the road.

But it looked really like
they were fitted together.

Like they took one
log and, you know...

Like if you were
building a cabin,

- like that kind of. Yeah.
- Right.

There was brush,

just like under
the construct itself.

And smaller logs as
though to underpin the road.

- And then it stopped abruptly.
- Really?

Yeah. Yeah.

Swamp muck mixed with
bigger logs on the bottom

that were running
perpendicular to the road.

But it was also well
enough into the structure

of the stones that you can say

it was put down during
the construction of the road.

- I got it, yeah.
- Okay.

There's big timbers
underneath the stone road,

which just underscores that
that was a massive undertaking.

Somebody put that road
in for a specific reason,

and I think they
wanted it to not be found

after they were done.

It could be leading us back
to where the treasure is.

And then, just before
we got to the end of the road here,

I mean, we have pulled up
some really, really nice artifacts.

Old-looking chains. Some
really interesting chains.

I haven't seen this chain.
I heard about this chain.

Very unusual.

This looks old.

Two weeks ago,

while excavating
the southern edge

of the potentially
500-year-old stone road,

the Oak Island team

uncovered a large
hand-wrought chain and hook,

which blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge

dated to the 16th century.

Is it possible
that this artifact

was once used in the swamp area

to offload cargo from
a ship onto Oak Island?

The chain was a
three-point hitch.

- Hand-forged by the look of them.
- Yeah.

- Might have even been a four-point hitch.
- Yeah.

To me, you could stay there,

a nice stable surface,

hook a box or
something very heavy,

- a three-point hitch...
- And then unload out here.

Right, because if you're pulling

with a three-point
hitch, you can pull it

across this heavy
ground and then get it

to the bog and pull
it right up that road.

If you're trying to fit
the chain to the road,

- to me that's an explanation.
- It really is.

Yep.

I think it's an
important discovery.

We have clearly defined

the extent of the
construct of the road

and where it
transitions to the beach.

Does it align with the idea
that a larger ship offshore,

a tender comes,
brings the material

to a crafted slipway
or wharf or dock?

Sure. It fits perfectly.

It's very interesting all
this stuff you have found.

Hopefully, it can
tell part of the story.

Hopefully, it ties
together to give us a date.

And hopefully, we find
something even better yet.

Yeah.

What's next here?

What are you gonna do next?

We're only beginning
to get to that point.

You're gonna keep digging
underneath where Billy is?

- Yeah.
- Okay, well the best dig

has yet to come, for
this. Let's get it done.

Thank you for the
update. Pretty cool.

As the dig for clues continues

in the triangle-shaped swamp...

That's 118.

- 118.
- Thank you, Colten.

And while
the core-drilling operation

in borehole I.25-6.25 proceeds

in the Money Pit area...

- Hey. How's she going?
- Carmen.

Welcome to the new
and improved lab.

Right. Yeah, it looks good.

Alex Lagina,

Charles Barkhouse,

and archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan meet

with blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge,

in the newly constructed
Oak Island Laboratory.

So we have finds that
were made on Lot 5 for you today.

- Okay.
- They are eager

to hear Carmen's assessment

of the copper and iron artifacts
that were recently discovered

within the large foundation

beneath the circular
stone feature.

I think we should
start with this copper.

I-I actually pulled this
out of the sifting box.

I'd love to know
what your opinion is.

Okay.

I see that the other
pieces are very thin.

- Right.
- Except for this one here,

seems to be a little thicker.

Yeah.

That is thicker,

- it looks like it.
- It is, yeah.

And it's rounded.

Also tapered as well.

It does look like a bit of
a pattern on the end there.

It has to be
something decorative.

See the little
indentations, parallels.

I'm wondering if that
could be some sort of...

jewelry thing.

Like a small jewelry
chest or something?

Yeah, it is very possible.

Yeah, it is very possible.

- Wow.
- That's excellent.

I'm wondering if
that could be a jewelry thing.

Like a small jewelry
chest or something.

Yeah, it is very possible.

In the Oak Island Laboratory,

blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge

has just confirmed

that a number of copper pieces
found one week ago on Lot 5

may have been used
to decorate a small chest

designed for carrying valuables.

- What about these iron pieces?
- All right. I'll have a look.

It's all very thin,
like, off of a strap.

So it's not for a
barrel or a small round container.

It is a strap to secure a box.

A heavily banded and
heavily fortified box.

What would be
the purpose of that?

Cash box, maybe?

Money box, yeah.

That would be very interesting.

I actually did a CT
scan on that one.

Very good.

Earlier this morning,
Emma analyzed the iron artifact

using two scanning devices...

The first, known as the
SkyScan 1273 CT scanner,

emits nondestructive
X-ray radiation

that penetrates
corrosion on artifacts,

producing high-definition,

three-dimensional
images of them.

The second, known as an
X-ray fluorescence spectrometer,

or XRF device, can
identify the type of metal

an artifact is composed of.

So does it look like
there's two pieces, joined?

It does.
There's two materials.

So I did do an XRF point
scan on that material as well...

and it was lead.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, and then the
rest of the body is iron.

My puzzling thing is, why is
the lead in the iron as well?

It is a common thing to
find within old English iron,

is that some lead content,
which fits 1600s, early 1700s.

The dating on the artifact

could fit really
well with the theory

surrounding Sir William
Phips, who was a privateer.

And we have a theorist
who has placed Phips

in this region,

potentially with a
ship full of illicit silver,

in need of a place to hide it.

We know that Phips found
silver on the Concepción.

According to the theory

of 32-degree
Freemason Scott Clarke,

in the fall of 1687,

the English privateer Sir
William Phips conspired

with a high-ranking Freemason

from Nova Scotia
named Andrew Belcher

to bury Spanish treasure
they had salvaged

from the shipwreck
known as the Concepción

on Oak Island.

It's intriguing,
especially given that the feature

on Lot 5 appears to
have been covered over.

Yeah.

Is it possible that the team

has found more evidence
in the feature on Lot 5

proving that this
theory could be true?

We could be looking

at a small but strongly
constructed box.

Which means it could have been

part of any treasure
that was here.

That's right.

Thank you, Carmen.

Very
good. See you later.

As the team
concludes their meeting

with blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge,

and while the investigation

in the triangle-shaped
swamp continues...

All right, let's
see what we get up here.

Mike's gonna give us
some material right now.

Other members
of the team anxiously supervise

the core-drilling operation

in borehole I.25-6.25...

Here comes the anaconda.

As they have
now reached the target depth

of some 180 feet,

where they hope
to encounter a void

and evidence of the
fabled Chappell Vault.

What's the bottom?

Bottom's 190.

190, okay.

That's about right.

We've got slush
and loose material.

That'd be
representative of the void,

- almost no recovery here.
- Yep.

This is the biggest stretch

where we have
nothing other than slush.

There's our void.

Okay.

Look at this.

There's some wood fibers.

Fragments of wood?

Found in the void more
than 180 feet underground

in the Money Pit area?

Is it possible that
they could be related

to the large object
that was pushed aside

by the nearby H-8
caisson six years ago?

And we might see
the plug, the H-8 plug.

We may hit a chunk of the plug.

The boys will push on.

If the team has found

the missing plug from H-8,

and potentially, the
vault in this borehole,

then the next core will
hopefully reveal the proof.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Charles. Welcome back.

Yeah, well, where are we

and what did you find?

- An apparent void.
- Really?

It's really quite exciting.

Here it comes.

Last core.

And you finished up where, Mike?

- 210.
- Very good.

This is one of the most

important targets
in the Money Pit,

'cause if we can find
the lost plug from H-8,

it might help us
find the treasure.

So we're really
excited about this.

What do you got, Terry?

Unfortunately, it's not void.

We're well into
bedrock. That's it.

Well, we don't like to
see that. But there it is.

After several
moments of great anticipation,

it appears that the legendary
Chappell Vault remains elusive.

However, is it
possible that it still lies

within this void
perhaps within just feet

of the team's current position?

Oak Island never
ceases to surprise us.

I think we should
call it a day, Charles.

We're gonna go
through the buckets today.

Yeah, we are.

Meanwhile,

nearly half a mile
to the west on Lot 5,

Alex Lagina assists
the archaeology team

as they search
for valuable clues

inside the stone foundation.

My God.

I think it's a bead.

It looks similar to the one
we had last time, I believe.

Really?

- That's gorgeous!
- Right?

Wow. Yeah, look at that.

That is exactly the same pattern

from the original
bead that we found.

It's probably Venetian.

That's just incredible
to find two beads

from the same piece of jewelry.

- Yeah.
- Amazing.

Another possible

Venetian glass bead found
in the buried stone foundation?

Given that this type
of Italian jewelry,

which could date to as
early as the 15th century,

was used not only
for fine adornments

but also as a
form of currency...

is it possible that
they may be related

to the fragments of
the decorative container

that was also recently
discovered in this feature?

So we've got two of these now.

- Yeah.
- If so,

what else might the team find

as they continue to dig?

Okay.

I will go find you some more.

- Perfect. Thank you.
- Nice job, Moya.

Yes.

The bead in combination

with the decorative iron piece

that we thought might
have gone on a chest,

that is starting to say,
maybe somebody left

a chest of valuables here.

To me, that's exciting.

- Look at that.
- What do you got?

What did you find?

Wow!

- Look at that!
- What do you got?

- A coin, maybe?
- What?!

- You found a coin?
- You got a coin? -LINDY: Yeah.

What?!

Cool.

While sifting through spoils

from the mysterious
stone foundation

on Lot 5 of Oak Island...

Yeah, I think that is a coin.

- Really?!
- Yeah. Yep.

Wow.

Archaeologist Lindy Martin

has just made a potentially
valuable discovery.

That's copper for sure.

It like almost
tapers on the edges,

instead of being flat
like modern coins.

Yeah. I don't
see a milled edge.

It looks rounded.

Rounded, exactly. Um...

It's not perfectly regular,

which would say older, I think.

It could be very old.

A copper coin?

And without a milled...
Or ridged... edge?

During the late 17th
century in England,

the famed scholar
Sir Isaac Newton,

who was also the
Master of the Royal Mint,

implemented coin
designs with "milled" edges

in order to combat the
counterfeiting of currency.

You know, that really attests to
the importance of screening too.

- Yeah.
- You know?

That's an amazing
find. That's really cool.

Is it possible that this coin,

bearing no milled edges,

could date back prior
to the 17th century?

Or perhaps even earlier?

If so, could it help
the team identify

who originally created this
mysterious stone structure?

Can you see anything on it?

Well, there is something
down here at the bottom.

- Great.
- And I think the CT scan

will show at least some
details on the front of it.

But I think there's going
to be a little bit of a pattern

that maybe we can identify.

- Good find, Lindy.
- Thanks.

- Nice job, well done.
- Thank you.

Both of the
sifters today so far.

- Absolutely.
- We're doing our best.

Yeah, you guys are doing great.

The lucky sifters, I guess.

- Nice job, everybody.
- All right.

- Let's find some more.
- Let's do this.

The following morning...

as operations
continue in the Garden Shaft...

as well as on Lot 5...

Gary, let's find something.

Yeah, it's about time, mate.

Back in the
southeastern region of the swamp,

Marty Lagina,

metal detection
expert Gary Drayton

and Billy Gerhardt

continue searching for
another breakthrough discovery

near the potentially
500-year-old stone road.

No metal hits.

Nope.

I don't think
there's any metals.

All right.

Let's get ready
for the next load.

All right, here we go.

High hopes for this one, mate.

All right, Gary. Come on.

Yep. Let's go find
some treasure.

Come on, where are you?

Wow, there is nothing
in here. This is quiet.

What do we got here?

That looks like a
bit of a barrel stave.

Maybe.

- Yeah, it does.
- Similar to those barrel staves

we've found digging
in the swamp there.

Yep.

It looks like a
barrel stave, Gary,

- because it's wider here than it is there.
- Yeah.

I don't know what's
going on here.

Probably where it ripped
out. But yeah, I'd say

- that's a bit of a barrel.
- Yeah.

Well, one thing for sure.
We've got enough of those

barrel staves that were
recovered not too far away,

- we can compare it.
- Yeah, that's right.

Well, we're trying to see
whether the idea that this

is an off-loading
area is correct or not.

- A barrel certainly would fit with that.
- Yeah.

That's how they
transported stuff.

A barrel stave?

Found near the stone
road, or ship's wharf?

Could Gary be correct
that it might be related

to the pieces of
wooden cargo barrels

that were unearthed in
this area three years ago,

and which Carmen Legge believed

could be as much
as 600 years old?

Every time we dig in and
around the swamp, we find something.

The stone road. The
paved area. The ramp.

Lots of artifacts.

And so we're going
to continue digging.

We'll do a little
analysis on that,

but I'm wanting
to find more stuff.

Yes, some coins.

- Put it right over there.
- All right, mate.

Something in there for sure.

Nope. What the hell's going on?

Well...

It's catching on something.

I wonder if it's wood or rock.

There's that boulder.

I don't know if that means
that's the end of the road?

I don't know if we want to do

a little shovel work to
check that? It's up to you.

- Gary and I will go have a look.
- Yep.

- Let's go have a look, Gary.
- All right, let's go have a look.

Check it out.

- Where's the boulder?
- To your left.

- Right here?
- Yeah.

And that's the first one,
so what you're suggesting

is there could be a row here?

Well, just from my angle
it could be in alignment

with the stone road.

Yeah. Well, what
are you thinking here?

Just take a few
shovelfuls on one side

of the boulder and
the other maybe.

- Let's dig.
- Yeah.

- It's a pretty big rock.
- Yeah.

Ooh, look at that.

Ooh, look at
that. It kind of looks similar

to the rocks on
the stone roadway.

Yeah. That easily
could be the road extension.

It is a
moment of great excitement

for Marty Lagina, Gary
Drayton and Billy Gerhardt...

- That's another big rock next to it.
- Yeah.

As they may
have just discovered another section

of the potentially
500-year-old stone road,

or ship's wharf, in
the southeast corner

of the Oak Island swamp.

Another big rock
next to that big rock.

What do you think?

Those are
the first two big rocks.

We'll have to
dig a little farther.

So you're thinking these are

- like retaining rocks?
- Yeah.

It would only be
the retaining edge

- I would say for sure.
- Yeah.

I don't think it's
possible to-to stand

and look at that stone road

and not think that this had
to have a special purpose.

It's a rather
massive construction.

And it had to be
done for a reason.

What was it for?

I'm prepared to just
see what the data

suggests as we dig more.

That could lead
us directly to what

we've been seeking for years.

Well, what I would say,
Billy, just as you're going

this way, look for others.

Kind of scrape along. All right.

I'm going to go start
that pump, Gary.

Yep. I'll check the spoils.

One thing that's really exciting

about being in the swamp,

is that possibility that
Billy sticks that bucket in

and next thing you know,

you come up with some
really great old artifacts.

Three interesting
pieces of wood.

Barrel staves?

We got two strips.

And then this
looks like a handle.

- Yeah, that is...
- Rounded edges.

- It's a peculiar piece of wood.
- Yeah.

Wonder if it was like,
an old pickaxe handle.

- Or an axe?
- Could be, Gary, it almost looks hand-shaped.

A hand-shaped tool?

Could it have been used

in the original construction
of the stone road?

If so, is it possible
that scientific analysis

might help identify
not only its age,

but also who brought
it to Oak Island?

Okay, let's get back to work.

- Yep.
- There's another rock there.

There's more bigger
rocks coming this way.

- In a line?
- Yeah.

Okay, Billy,
we'll go have a look.

- Where was the original rock, here?
- There. Yeah.

The one's buried and then
there's another one there.

There's a pretty
steady row, right...

And then there's a flat
one lower behind you, Gary.

- See that?
- There's one here.

One there. One there.

Yeah, but what's that mean?

Maybe some buried in between.

I think there
are clues in the swamp,

clearly there are,

I have been absolutely wrong

about the extent of the
workings in the swamp.

I thought there was nothing
there. And there's a lot there.

Some good stuff
in there, I'm sure.

Now, Marty was never
a big fan of the swamp,

but the more discoveries
we have found

in the swamp over the years,

the more I see the
twinkle in Marty's eye.

I think he's beginning
to like the swamp.

You know, we may want
to take that over a little bit,

I don't know if that means
that's the end of the road?

You know, we thought it
might have been the log

but the log was an edge.

You know, Rick's
coming in a little bit.

Let's see what he wants to do.

I think we should have
the rest of the guys look at it.

- This could be very important.
- Yeah.

And I'll kick it
around with Rick and Craig

- and we'll decide what to do.
- I'm telling you, mate,

we are on to something here.

For Rick,
Marty, Craig and the team,

the 229-year-old
Oak Island mystery

becomes more complex by the day.

But as they keep
digging, drilling,

and applying disciplined science

to the discoveries being made
all across these 140 acres,

one thing appears to be certain.

Oak Island has kept
an incredible secret

for hundreds of years.

And now, it is perhaps
just a matter of time

until the Laginas and their team

unearth the truth behind it.

Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...

- Ooh! Big chunks.
- Check that out.

- This might tell us who built this stone road.
- Ooh.

- Right there.
- Yeah.

It's Latin.

These are very old.

They were a precious commodity.

The first hole.

Finally, we're drilling

under the Garden Shaft.

Whoa.

- Talk to me, what do you got?
- We found it.
