1
00:00:00,929 --> 00:00:03,250
Tonight, on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,417 --> 00:00:05,003
We found these
in the Garden Shaft.
3
00:00:05,083 --> 00:00:06,583
It's very old.
4
00:00:06,792 --> 00:00:08,795
It definitely wasn't used
to put together structures.
5
00:00:08,875 --> 00:00:11,083
It could be off boxes
from the treasure.
6
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:12,667
There's a wall in the swamp.
7
00:00:12,875 --> 00:00:14,295
It could be related
to the stone road.
8
00:00:14,375 --> 00:00:16,375
That red stuff is what's
underneath the stone road.
9
00:00:16,542 --> 00:00:19,500
That will place that wood
structure further back in time.
10
00:00:20,375 --> 00:00:22,542
Vikings had knowledge
of North America
11
00:00:22,708 --> 00:00:24,500
with contacts to early Templars.
12
00:00:25,208 --> 00:00:26,917
They could have had
knowledge of this area.
13
00:00:27,083 --> 00:00:28,333
That's correct.
14
00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,458
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,583 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
16
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:40,417
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:44,042
So far, they have
found a stone slab
18
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:47,083
with strange symbols
carved into it...
19
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:50,167
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
20
00:00:50,333 --> 00:00:54,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
21
00:00:54,125 --> 00:00:56,125
to the Knights Templar.
22
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,000
To date, six men have died
23
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,708
trying to solve the mystery.
24
00:01:01,833 --> 00:01:07,125
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
25
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,667
before the treasure
can be found.
26
00:01:19,875 --> 00:01:21,917
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
27
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:23,337
- Hey.
- Hey, guys.
28
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:25,375
I can't wait to
show you guys this.
29
00:01:25,542 --> 00:01:27,462
Let's flip the plastic off.
We'll show these guys
30
00:01:27,583 --> 00:01:28,667
what we've got.
31
00:01:29,708 --> 00:01:31,212
It's amazing what
you guys managed to get
32
00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:32,795
- out of the Garden Shaft there.
- Yeah.
33
00:01:32,875 --> 00:01:34,035
It is the beginning
34
00:01:34,125 --> 00:01:36,417
of another hopeful
week on Oak Island
35
00:01:36,625 --> 00:01:40,167
for brothers Rick and
Marty Lagina and their team
36
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:43,167
as they continue
a quest to solve
37
00:01:43,375 --> 00:01:46,042
a 229-year-old mystery.
38
00:01:46,208 --> 00:01:48,667
We did a lot of work to get
these timbers out of there.
39
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:50,333
First thing I'm gonna say
40
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:52,458
is this is the strangest thing
41
00:01:52,583 --> 00:01:54,750
that I think we ever could
have encountered down there.
42
00:01:56,167 --> 00:01:59,333
We cannot find any
sign of walls or a ceiling.
43
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,000
However, in the Money Pit area,
44
00:02:02,208 --> 00:02:05,167
what appeared
just a few days ago
45
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:08,458
to be a major discovery
some 100 feet deep
46
00:02:08,625 --> 00:02:11,167
at the bottom of the
18th-century structure
47
00:02:11,292 --> 00:02:13,292
known as the Garden Shaft,
48
00:02:13,458 --> 00:02:16,208
has only left them
with more questions.
49
00:02:16,375 --> 00:02:19,333
It's strange. It seems
to be collapsed.
50
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:21,875
So, who knows what
happened down there?
51
00:02:23,375 --> 00:02:25,212
- Look at that. Right there.
- Wow.
52
00:02:25,292 --> 00:02:27,625
Those are big beams.
53
00:02:27,792 --> 00:02:31,792
Last week, after
nearly two years of tireless work,
54
00:02:31,917 --> 00:02:34,833
representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited
55
00:02:34,958 --> 00:02:36,750
were finally able to expose
56
00:02:36,917 --> 00:02:40,625
what the team believed to be a
seven-foot-high wooden tunnel.
57
00:02:40,792 --> 00:02:43,208
If this is original
depositor, there's a good chance
58
00:02:43,375 --> 00:02:44,837
that there may be treasure
at the end of this tunnel.
59
00:02:44,917 --> 00:02:46,000
Yep.
60
00:02:46,208 --> 00:02:47,542
A tunnel
61
00:02:47,708 --> 00:02:49,420
that the team had
previously drilled through
62
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,250
on several occasions
and determined
63
00:02:52,375 --> 00:02:55,458
that it ran due west into
the so-called Baby Blob
64
00:02:55,625 --> 00:02:57,833
where high-trace
evidence of precious metals
65
00:02:58,042 --> 00:03:02,542
have been detected between
80 and 120 feet underground.
66
00:03:04,875 --> 00:03:08,083
Every one that we pulled
out, we did a visual look underneath
67
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:10,087
to see if we could see the
wall timbers hanging down.
68
00:03:10,167 --> 00:03:11,875
There was nothing.
69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,083
It's like somebody
just removed them
70
00:03:14,292 --> 00:03:15,667
and left the floor intact.
71
00:03:16,875 --> 00:03:19,042
However, after removing a number
72
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:21,458
of large, hand-cut
wooden timbers,
73
00:03:21,583 --> 00:03:25,000
as well as two iron artifacts,
74
00:03:25,208 --> 00:03:26,458
the team was stunned to realize
75
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:29,125
that the section of
the believed tunnel
76
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:31,250
that they exposed
beneath the Garden Shaft
77
00:03:31,417 --> 00:03:34,208
has either collapsed or
was partially dismantled
78
00:03:34,375 --> 00:03:36,042
sometime in the past.
79
00:03:36,208 --> 00:03:38,333
We found part of a tunnel,
80
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:40,250
but the rest of the
tunnel is missing.
81
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:42,917
So, that's disconcerting.
82
00:03:43,042 --> 00:03:47,500
But I think we could learn a
lot from these pieces of wood
83
00:03:47,625 --> 00:03:50,542
because this could
really be the first time
84
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:54,250
we found a depositor
tunnel underground.
85
00:03:54,458 --> 00:03:57,708
And if it is original works,
where was it going and why?
86
00:03:57,875 --> 00:04:00,833
And as you can
see, there are some beautiful...
87
00:04:01,042 --> 00:04:02,795
- Yeah.
- Handwrought, square nails there.
88
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:04,333
This one here is loose.
89
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,583
You can see the head right here.
90
00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:09,875
Now, while
Dumas works to uncover more
91
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:11,792
of the mysterious tunnel...
92
00:04:11,958 --> 00:04:14,500
In the hopes of finding
an intact structure
93
00:04:14,667 --> 00:04:16,295
that may lead to the
source of the valuables
94
00:04:16,375 --> 00:04:18,208
that have been
detected nearby...
95
00:04:18,333 --> 00:04:20,500
- There you go.
- Look at that.
96
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:23,792
The team will be
carbon-dating the wood timbers
97
00:04:23,917 --> 00:04:26,833
and analyzing metal
fasteners found inside of them
98
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:28,792
in an attempt to confirm
99
00:04:28,875 --> 00:04:30,667
that it was built
prior to the discovery
100
00:04:30,792 --> 00:04:34,000
of the original
Money Pit in 1795.
101
00:04:34,208 --> 00:04:37,000
- What do you think of that, Laird?
- Yeah.
102
00:04:37,167 --> 00:04:38,667
That's what I'd want to see.
103
00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:40,667
- So...
- Yeah. The handwrought nails.
104
00:04:40,792 --> 00:04:43,167
It's a rose head.
105
00:04:43,292 --> 00:04:44,500
How old?
106
00:04:44,625 --> 00:04:46,333
See how nice and slim it is?
107
00:04:46,458 --> 00:04:50,708
I would put that
in the 1600, 1700s.
108
00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:53,333
You've got to admit this is
one of the most promising finds
109
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,000
we've had so far on the island.
110
00:04:55,167 --> 00:04:57,167
It is exciting.
111
00:04:57,375 --> 00:04:59,375
It feels like we're
getting closer.
112
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:02,750
It is a total collapsed feature
113
00:05:02,917 --> 00:05:05,292
and we were hoping
there would be evidence
114
00:05:05,458 --> 00:05:07,417
that it was partially open.
115
00:05:07,625 --> 00:05:10,167
But all information
underground in the Money Pit
116
00:05:10,292 --> 00:05:12,333
is incredibly
valuable information.
117
00:05:12,542 --> 00:05:15,208
So, I absolutely
hope that this leads us
118
00:05:15,417 --> 00:05:17,000
to finding the treasure.
119
00:05:17,208 --> 00:05:18,500
Let's learn as much as we can
120
00:05:18,625 --> 00:05:21,333
from the items we
have retrieved at depth.
121
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:23,542
Look, kudos to everyone.
122
00:05:23,667 --> 00:05:25,500
This might be a pivotal moment
123
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:27,292
in the Oak Island treasure hunt.
124
00:05:27,417 --> 00:05:29,417
So, the nails:
125
00:05:29,542 --> 00:05:31,083
I think we should
pull all of them,
126
00:05:31,250 --> 00:05:33,542
and the boards as well.
Take multiple samples.
127
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:35,167
Set them aside.
128
00:05:35,375 --> 00:05:37,253
There's a lot of work
to do. So, let's get going.
129
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:38,795
- Sounds good.
- All right.
130
00:05:38,875 --> 00:05:40,212
While the operation continues
131
00:05:40,292 --> 00:05:42,417
in the Money Pit area...
132
00:05:44,292 --> 00:05:46,125
later that afternoon...
133
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:48,333
- Hello, guys.
- Hi, Marty.
134
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:50,167
- Hey.
- Hey, Marty.
135
00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:52,833
So, gentlemen, we
have a guest today:
136
00:05:53,042 --> 00:05:55,000
Dr. Doug Symons.
137
00:05:55,167 --> 00:05:57,170
Rick and Marty
have gathered members of the team
138
00:05:57,250 --> 00:06:01,042
in the war room to hear a
highly anticipated presentation
139
00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:05,000
from Dr. Doug Symons, a
retired professor of psychology
140
00:06:05,208 --> 00:06:07,667
from Acadia University.
141
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:10,500
I find it very intriguing
about the possibility
142
00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:12,667
of Viking-Templar connections.
143
00:06:12,833 --> 00:06:14,795
Doug, if you want to give us
a little background and then...
144
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:16,375
Sure.
145
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:20,083
Dr. Symons and I met
through Dr. Spooner, actually.
146
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:22,375
We had discussions
in the evenings
147
00:06:22,542 --> 00:06:25,000
over those provocative
dates in the swamp
148
00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:28,167
of around 1200 AD,
149
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:30,917
and the stone piles on Lot 15
150
00:06:31,083 --> 00:06:34,875
- were likely created after Nolan's Cross.
- Yeah.
151
00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:38,000
One week ago,
152
00:06:38,208 --> 00:06:42,375
Italian archaeoastronomer
Professor Adriano Gaspani
153
00:06:42,542 --> 00:06:45,333
presented the team with
his scientific analysis...
154
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,167
And belief...
155
00:06:47,375 --> 00:06:50,542
That the megalithic
stone formations,
156
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:53,208
which have been found
on the surface of Oak Island
157
00:06:53,375 --> 00:06:55,208
known as Nolan's Cross,
158
00:06:55,375 --> 00:06:58,333
the stone triangle
and five stone piles,
159
00:06:58,417 --> 00:07:00,583
located on Lot 15,
160
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:03,750
were all constructed
in the 13th century
161
00:07:03,875 --> 00:07:07,000
by members of the
Knights Templar.
162
00:07:07,167 --> 00:07:09,833
And, curiously, in recent years,
163
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,792
the team has found
two lead artifacts
164
00:07:12,917 --> 00:07:16,500
that have been scientifically
traced to Scandinavia.
165
00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:20,292
Dr. Symons has delved
deeply into that subject.
166
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:22,792
Now, based on these findings,
167
00:07:22,917 --> 00:07:26,583
Doug Crowell has reached
out to Dr. Doug Symons,
168
00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:29,792
who published his
research in May of 2020...
169
00:07:31,333 --> 00:07:33,667
suggesting that
the Templar order
170
00:07:33,833 --> 00:07:36,167
and the medieval
Scandinavian culture,
171
00:07:36,333 --> 00:07:38,750
known as the Norse, or Vikings,
172
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:42,083
may both be connected
to the Oak Island mystery.
173
00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:46,208
So, Dr. Symons,
if you'd be so kind.
174
00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:47,875
Thank you.
175
00:07:48,042 --> 00:07:51,625
So, I became interested
in the European voyages
176
00:07:51,792 --> 00:07:55,083
that could account for
these Oak Island finds.
177
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,000
You've got Nolan's Cross
178
00:07:57,125 --> 00:08:03,208
and also the swamp itself
dates back to 1200 AD or so.
179
00:08:03,375 --> 00:08:06,417
And my research took
me to this time frame.
180
00:08:06,583 --> 00:08:09,917
The 1000s to 1200s.
181
00:08:10,083 --> 00:08:12,542
So, Vikings, they
settled the Faroe Islands,
182
00:08:12,708 --> 00:08:14,667
Iceland and Greenland.
183
00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:17,000
And St. Anthony, Newfoundland.
184
00:08:17,167 --> 00:08:21,833
And L'Anse aux Meadows,
Newfoundland, around 1000 AD.
185
00:08:22,042 --> 00:08:25,125
Which gives them
knowledge of the area.
186
00:08:28,750 --> 00:08:30,542
It is well documented
187
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:32,375
that members of
the Viking culture
188
00:08:32,542 --> 00:08:34,625
explored and built
settlements in North America
189
00:08:34,792 --> 00:08:37,667
as much as ten centuries ago,
190
00:08:37,833 --> 00:08:41,500
reaching as far south
as L'Anse aux Meadows,
191
00:08:41,708 --> 00:08:44,250
a location in modern-day
Newfoundland, Canada
192
00:08:44,417 --> 00:08:49,792
that is approximately 625
miles northeast of Oak Island.
193
00:08:49,958 --> 00:08:54,333
However, it has been speculated
by many academic researchers
194
00:08:54,542 --> 00:08:56,750
based on the
13th-century writings
195
00:08:56,917 --> 00:08:58,833
known as "The Viking Sagas"
196
00:08:59,042 --> 00:09:01,125
that they may have visited areas
197
00:09:01,292 --> 00:09:02,833
much further to the south.
198
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,667
Now, what becomes important
about L'Anse aux Meadows,
199
00:09:05,875 --> 00:09:07,500
was from L'Anse aux
Meadows, it's easy
200
00:09:07,625 --> 00:09:09,253
to sail down the west
coast of Newfoundland
201
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:11,042
with land in sight.
202
00:09:11,208 --> 00:09:14,542
I don't think it's unreasonable
to say Oak Island was explored.
203
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:17,583
Certainly, Mahone Bay
would've been explored.
204
00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:20,667
The trips are described
as going to the southwest.
205
00:09:20,792 --> 00:09:24,708
So, I'm gonna tie early
Templars to Vikings.
206
00:09:24,875 --> 00:09:27,167
So, was anything else
interesting happening
207
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:30,250
in the world in 1100?
208
00:09:30,458 --> 00:09:34,500
- The Crusades?
- The first Crusade.
209
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:39,000
In 1099, Jerusalem is
taken by the Crusaders.
210
00:09:39,208 --> 00:09:42,083
Some of them are the
original Knights Templars.
211
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:44,458
Here is the taking of Jerusalem.
212
00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:47,583
Many people feel that
they spent their time
213
00:09:47,708 --> 00:09:51,083
exploring underground and
looking for religious artifacts.
214
00:09:54,167 --> 00:09:57,667
For several
years, Rick, Marty and the team
215
00:09:57,875 --> 00:10:00,167
have been researching the
order of the Knights Templar
216
00:10:00,292 --> 00:10:03,958
and their possible connection
to the Oak Island mystery.
217
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:06,792
It is known that
the Templar order
218
00:10:06,958 --> 00:10:10,667
established their headquarters
on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
219
00:10:10,792 --> 00:10:12,833
during the early 12th century
220
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,083
while defending Christian
interests in the holy wars
221
00:10:16,292 --> 00:10:17,833
known as the Crusades.
222
00:10:19,792 --> 00:10:21,875
They amassed a great fortune
223
00:10:22,083 --> 00:10:24,917
by establishing the
world's first banking system.
224
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:28,000
However, some
believe that they also
225
00:10:28,167 --> 00:10:31,042
found a number of
priceless religious relics,
226
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:33,167
including the Holy Grail
227
00:10:33,292 --> 00:10:35,875
and the Ark of the Covenant.
228
00:10:36,042 --> 00:10:39,167
The Templar order would
eventually be disbanded
229
00:10:39,375 --> 00:10:41,958
by the Catholic Church in 1307,
230
00:10:42,042 --> 00:10:45,542
but their believed treasures
have never been found.
231
00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:47,625
Could there be any evidence
232
00:10:47,792 --> 00:10:50,083
that the Templars
transported them
233
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:53,708
to Oak Island with
the help of the Vikings?
234
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:57,125
According to the sagas, in 1107,
235
00:10:57,250 --> 00:11:01,042
there was a King Sigurd
of Norway who decided,
236
00:11:01,208 --> 00:11:03,792
"Let's make a pilgrimage
to the Holy Land."
237
00:11:03,917 --> 00:11:07,917
So, Sigurd gets together
5,000 men and 60 ships,
238
00:11:08,083 --> 00:11:10,333
and then they are
off to Jerusalem.
239
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:12,083
While they're in Jerusalem,
240
00:11:12,208 --> 00:11:14,667
they tour the Temple Mount,
they interact with knights
241
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:16,667
who would form
the Knights Templar
242
00:11:16,792 --> 00:11:18,333
eight years later.
243
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:20,625
And then what happens?
244
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,333
King Sigurd returns to Norway,
245
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,208
and he leaves many of his men,
246
00:11:27,375 --> 00:11:29,125
and all of their boats
247
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:30,667
in Jerusalem.
248
00:11:30,875 --> 00:11:34,667
We've got many Vikings
left in the Holy Land, 1110.
249
00:11:34,792 --> 00:11:36,667
We don't know what
happened to them
250
00:11:36,792 --> 00:11:38,708
or when they would've left.
251
00:11:38,875 --> 00:11:41,917
So, what's
interesting about this?
252
00:11:42,125 --> 00:11:43,292
They could have had
253
00:11:43,458 --> 00:11:44,833
knowledge of this area
254
00:11:45,042 --> 00:11:47,375
prior to the need to flee...
255
00:11:47,542 --> 00:11:48,545
- Correct.
- Or hide something.
256
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:50,750
So, Templars used
257
00:11:50,958 --> 00:11:53,417
Vikings for
transportation to come to
258
00:11:53,583 --> 00:11:56,375
the promised land.
North America.
259
00:11:56,542 --> 00:11:57,833
- Wow.
- Wow.
260
00:11:57,958 --> 00:11:59,278
- Wow.
- That's cool.
261
00:12:04,167 --> 00:12:06,417
So, Templars
used Vikings for transportation
262
00:12:06,583 --> 00:12:08,125
to come to North America.
263
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:11,667
- Wow.
- So, here's a summary.
264
00:12:11,875 --> 00:12:13,500
Vikings with knowledge
of North America
265
00:12:13,667 --> 00:12:14,875
and how to get there.
266
00:12:15,042 --> 00:12:17,333
Vikings in the Holy Land
267
00:12:17,542 --> 00:12:18,875
with seaworthy ships.
268
00:12:19,042 --> 00:12:23,250
Vikings with contacts
to early Templars.
269
00:12:23,417 --> 00:12:25,500
I see all those things as facts.
270
00:12:25,625 --> 00:12:28,083
In the war room,
271
00:12:28,208 --> 00:12:30,542
researcher Dr. Doug
Symons has just
272
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,083
presented his incredible theory
273
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:35,667
that members of
the Viking culture
274
00:12:35,792 --> 00:12:37,375
intermingled with
the Knights Templar
275
00:12:37,542 --> 00:12:40,083
during the 12th century
Crusades in the Holy Land,
276
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:43,458
and then helped them
transport priceless
277
00:12:43,625 --> 00:12:46,667
religious treasures
to Oak Island.
278
00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:49,000
From what you've shown,
279
00:12:49,208 --> 00:12:51,208
there was a relationship
between the Vikings
280
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:54,208
and the Templars, especially
around the Crusader times.
281
00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:57,125
- Yes.
- And if anything was found in Jerusalem,
282
00:12:57,333 --> 00:13:00,333
to make a voyage and take
it all the way to Nova Scotia,
283
00:13:00,542 --> 00:13:02,750
it actually is plausible.
284
00:13:02,917 --> 00:13:05,125
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I think that
285
00:13:05,333 --> 00:13:06,542
it could have been done.
286
00:13:06,667 --> 00:13:07,787
The remaining questions are:
287
00:13:07,875 --> 00:13:10,167
- Did they do it?
- And why.
288
00:13:10,333 --> 00:13:11,000
- And why.
- Yeah.
289
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:14,417
And you've got significant finds
290
00:13:14,542 --> 00:13:15,792
in the same time frame
291
00:13:15,958 --> 00:13:17,500
as the story's.
292
00:13:17,667 --> 00:13:23,167
In the 1000 to 1300 AD range,
293
00:13:23,333 --> 00:13:25,875
you've got the
stick in the bottom of
294
00:13:26,042 --> 00:13:30,250
the man-made well
that is on Lot 26.
295
00:13:30,417 --> 00:13:34,250
You've got the paved
area of the swamp.
296
00:13:34,417 --> 00:13:36,083
The platform.
297
00:13:36,208 --> 00:13:39,208
The paved area also might have
been a landing area for boats.
298
00:13:39,417 --> 00:13:41,712
That's interesting,
because if that was open to the sea,
299
00:13:41,792 --> 00:13:43,792
it would be smaller
ships like that
300
00:13:43,958 --> 00:13:45,375
that could probably come in,
301
00:13:45,542 --> 00:13:47,042
and perhaps that was a dock.
302
00:13:47,208 --> 00:13:48,500
Right.
303
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:49,917
Viking ships would be
304
00:13:50,125 --> 00:13:52,625
small enough to
fit into the swamp.
305
00:13:52,792 --> 00:13:54,000
Yeah, and you've got
306
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:57,167
Nolan's Cross construction
307
00:13:57,375 --> 00:13:59,500
in the same time frame.
308
00:13:59,667 --> 00:14:00,917
That's right.
309
00:14:01,083 --> 00:14:02,875
That fits right in.
310
00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:04,042
Wow.
311
00:14:05,167 --> 00:14:07,417
In addition to Nolan's Cross
312
00:14:07,625 --> 00:14:10,333
and the other megalithic
stone formations
313
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,875
on Oak Island's surface
that are believed to
314
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,875
have been created
315
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,625
in the 13th century,
316
00:14:15,792 --> 00:14:18,708
the team has also
obtained evidence
317
00:14:18,875 --> 00:14:22,042
that a stone well
located on Lot 26
318
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:24,542
and a massive, paved area
319
00:14:24,708 --> 00:14:26,458
that was uncovered in the swamp
320
00:14:26,625 --> 00:14:30,792
may have been constructed
more than 800 years ago.
321
00:14:30,917 --> 00:14:33,292
All I know is I'm
running out of ways
322
00:14:33,458 --> 00:14:36,042
to be skeptical about the Templars.
323
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:39,125
Could Dr. Doug
Symons' incredible theory
324
00:14:39,292 --> 00:14:41,958
that these formations
were all created by
325
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:43,708
members of the Knights Templar
326
00:14:43,875 --> 00:14:46,792
with the help of
the Vikings be true?
327
00:14:46,958 --> 00:14:50,000
If so, might that
also explain how
328
00:14:50,167 --> 00:14:52,792
the two recently
unearthed lead artifacts,
329
00:14:52,958 --> 00:14:54,958
which have been
traced to Scandinavia,
330
00:14:55,125 --> 00:14:57,667
ended up on Oak Island?
331
00:14:58,708 --> 00:15:00,750
The connection
that has been presented
332
00:15:00,917 --> 00:15:03,042
between Vikings and Templars,
333
00:15:03,208 --> 00:15:06,375
obviously, we're going
to continue to pursue that.
334
00:15:06,542 --> 00:15:07,792
It's a line of investigation
335
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:11,000
that may be very
important to us.
336
00:15:11,167 --> 00:15:13,208
In terms of depositional
work on the island,
337
00:15:13,375 --> 00:15:18,333
here is where cultural
context means a lot.
338
00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:21,292
It is amazing how far back
339
00:15:21,458 --> 00:15:23,667
knowledge of the,
of North America
340
00:15:23,792 --> 00:15:25,708
was a lot more widespread
341
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:27,583
than what I learned
342
00:15:27,792 --> 00:15:29,083
in history in,
say, grade school.
343
00:15:29,208 --> 00:15:30,750
I found this really interesting.
344
00:15:30,917 --> 00:15:33,458
- Yeah.
- I agree with you.
345
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:35,000
We should look further into this
346
00:15:35,125 --> 00:15:36,667
possible Viking/Templar
connection
347
00:15:36,833 --> 00:15:39,750
and what it may mean in terms
of advancing our search agenda.
348
00:15:39,875 --> 00:15:41,395
- So, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
349
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:43,667
Until next time, gentlemen.
350
00:15:46,833 --> 00:15:48,625
Later that afternoon,
351
00:15:48,792 --> 00:15:51,083
while the investigation
352
00:15:51,292 --> 00:15:54,000
of the possible treasure
tunnel below the Garden Shaft
353
00:15:54,208 --> 00:15:56,583
continues in the
Money Pit area...
354
00:15:57,833 --> 00:15:58,962
- Hey, Billy.
- Hey, Billy.
355
00:15:59,042 --> 00:16:00,167
Hey, guys.
356
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:04,458
I'm ready to kick some
swamp butt again, mate.
357
00:16:04,625 --> 00:16:06,833
Find some good finds.
358
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,958
Rick Lagina, metal
detection expert Gary Drayton
359
00:16:11,083 --> 00:16:13,583
and Billy Gerhardt
are searching for clues
360
00:16:13,792 --> 00:16:15,292
at the southern border of
361
00:16:15,458 --> 00:16:18,208
the mysterious
triangle-shaped swamp.
362
00:16:19,208 --> 00:16:21,208
I figure it's like old
home week, right?
363
00:16:21,375 --> 00:16:23,625
We came back home
'cause we never finished this.
364
00:16:23,792 --> 00:16:25,000
Not quite. We were close.
365
00:16:25,167 --> 00:16:26,958
In a way, we know
what we're looking for.
366
00:16:27,125 --> 00:16:28,795
We're definitely looking
for more pieces of
367
00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:30,075
- what we found earlier.
- Yep.
368
00:16:30,208 --> 00:16:31,875
- Yep.
- We found wood from ships.
369
00:16:32,042 --> 00:16:34,500
- Yep.
- For that reason alone,
370
00:16:34,667 --> 00:16:35,667
it's worth looking at.
371
00:16:37,208 --> 00:16:38,768
Is that a piece
of cut wood there?
372
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:42,375
Is that cut wood or not?
373
00:16:42,542 --> 00:16:44,167
I'll go get it.
374
00:16:44,292 --> 00:16:45,833
In recent years...
375
00:16:46,042 --> 00:16:47,642
- Look at that.
- The team has found
376
00:16:47,792 --> 00:16:50,667
a number of ship-related
artifacts in the swamp...
377
00:16:50,792 --> 00:16:52,333
That's beautiful, actually.
378
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:54,167
That have been dated to between
379
00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:56,542
the 15th and 18th centuries.
380
00:16:56,750 --> 00:16:57,917
Here's another piece of it.
381
00:16:58,083 --> 00:16:59,212
- Look at that.
- Look at that.
382
00:16:59,292 --> 00:17:02,250
However, in 2020,
383
00:17:02,375 --> 00:17:04,000
they unearthed a
piece of ship's railing
384
00:17:04,167 --> 00:17:06,167
right near the southern border
385
00:17:06,333 --> 00:17:10,250
that was carbon-dated to
as early as the 8th century.
386
00:17:11,292 --> 00:17:13,167
We're off the
end of the road, right?
387
00:17:13,375 --> 00:17:14,962
Man, would it be
something nice if we found
388
00:17:15,042 --> 00:17:16,958
something that really
told us who was here
389
00:17:17,125 --> 00:17:18,462
- and when they were here.
- I hope so.
390
00:17:18,542 --> 00:17:20,250
- All right, mate.
- All right.
391
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:24,625
Now, in
light of Dr. Doug Symons'
392
00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:28,333
incredible theory about
the medieval Viking culture
393
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,833
potentially being connected
to the Oak Island mystery,
394
00:17:31,958 --> 00:17:34,333
they are eager to see
395
00:17:34,458 --> 00:17:36,500
what other possible
clues they may uncover
396
00:17:36,708 --> 00:17:37,917
in this area.
397
00:17:38,042 --> 00:17:40,167
This is new stuff here.
398
00:17:42,292 --> 00:17:44,417
Smells like treasure.
399
00:17:46,042 --> 00:17:48,375
Whoa. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
400
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:53,458
What did you see, Rick?
401
00:17:53,625 --> 00:17:55,167
Wood.
402
00:17:56,625 --> 00:17:58,292
Is that anything?
403
00:17:59,917 --> 00:18:01,500
Good eye, Rick.
404
00:18:01,667 --> 00:18:02,667
Is it cut?
405
00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:04,042
Yeah.
406
00:18:06,542 --> 00:18:08,917
Looks like it's
got a hole in it, Rick.
407
00:18:09,083 --> 00:18:10,625
There's no metals in there.
408
00:18:10,792 --> 00:18:12,625
But it's definitely shaped.
409
00:18:12,833 --> 00:18:14,375
Think so?
410
00:18:14,542 --> 00:18:18,208
Yep. And it looks
like it could come off a boat.
411
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:22,083
We found something,
Bill. Check this out.
412
00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:24,667
It's an interesting
piece of wood.
413
00:18:24,833 --> 00:18:26,708
Any ideas?
414
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:31,128
Well, I'll tell you what
it looks like to me.
415
00:18:31,208 --> 00:18:32,958
See how it curves up?
416
00:18:33,125 --> 00:18:34,295
- Yeah.
- When you have a wooden boat,
417
00:18:34,375 --> 00:18:35,833
you put little runners on
418
00:18:35,917 --> 00:18:37,128
that were used along the shore.
419
00:18:37,208 --> 00:18:38,958
Like the keel of a boat.
420
00:18:39,125 --> 00:18:41,000
Yeah, so, say you
had a big boat here
421
00:18:41,208 --> 00:18:42,795
and you were bringing
your little one to shore,
422
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:44,753
they'd put these little ribs
on because they would wear
423
00:18:44,833 --> 00:18:46,593
rather than wear the
bottom of your boat out.
424
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:47,917
We would call them runners.
425
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:49,375
Yeah.
426
00:18:49,542 --> 00:18:51,003
- Maybe it hit the rocks...
- Yeah, exactly.
427
00:18:51,083 --> 00:18:52,462
- Right there.
- And got broke off.
428
00:18:52,542 --> 00:18:55,167
Good insight, Billy. I'll
be putting that in the bag.
429
00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:58,000
Is it possible
that the Oak Island team
430
00:18:58,125 --> 00:19:01,667
has found more evidence of
a sailing vessel in the swamp?
431
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:05,042
If so, just how old could it be?
432
00:19:05,208 --> 00:19:07,792
And who were the
visitors that left it here?
433
00:19:07,958 --> 00:19:09,792
I need to go back.
434
00:19:09,958 --> 00:19:11,167
I got to check on a few things
435
00:19:11,375 --> 00:19:13,833
for the Money Pit drilling.
436
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,458
So, keep digging, keep after it,
437
00:19:15,625 --> 00:19:17,750
- and I'll try to get back as soon as I can.
- Yep.
438
00:19:17,875 --> 00:19:19,083
- Okay?
- Okay, mate.
439
00:19:19,292 --> 00:19:21,000
- See you later.
- All right, thank you.
440
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:24,792
I believe that this is
a very old mystery.
441
00:19:24,958 --> 00:19:29,083
We have dates from 700
AD with the ship's railing.
442
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:32,583
We have the 1200
dates in the swamp.
443
00:19:32,792 --> 00:19:36,208
So, there are strong
suggestions that there was activity
444
00:19:36,333 --> 00:19:38,583
very early on. But to what end?
445
00:19:38,792 --> 00:19:41,000
That's what makes
this so interesting.
446
00:19:41,167 --> 00:19:43,167
- Hey, Gary.
- Hey, Steve.
447
00:19:43,292 --> 00:19:45,958
- How're you doing?
- Good. Perfect timing, mate.
448
00:19:46,042 --> 00:19:47,625
Billy's just repositioned.
449
00:19:47,792 --> 00:19:49,875
We're digging. You never
know what's gonna come out.
450
00:19:50,042 --> 00:19:51,642
- That's true.
- Here we go.
451
00:19:52,792 --> 00:19:54,667
There it is. It's solid.
452
00:20:06,833 --> 00:20:09,917
- Look at what we got here.
- Wow.
453
00:20:14,875 --> 00:20:17,041
- Yep. That is shaped wood.
- That's interesting.
454
00:20:17,042 --> 00:20:19,917
While excavating
near the southern border
455
00:20:20,083 --> 00:20:21,167
of the Oak Island swamp,
456
00:20:21,292 --> 00:20:23,125
Billy Gerhardt,
457
00:20:23,250 --> 00:20:25,167
Gary Drayton,
458
00:20:25,375 --> 00:20:27,250
and Steve Guptill have just made
459
00:20:27,417 --> 00:20:30,917
another potentially
important discovery.
460
00:20:31,042 --> 00:20:33,500
Gary, this looks
like it could be an old ship part.
461
00:20:33,708 --> 00:20:34,708
Yeah.
462
00:20:34,792 --> 00:20:36,125
We found the ship's railing
463
00:20:36,292 --> 00:20:37,833
just right over here,
and this, to me,
464
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,837
- has a similar finish on the top.
- Yeah.
465
00:20:39,917 --> 00:20:41,792
It's about the
same size and weight.
466
00:20:41,958 --> 00:20:43,583
And, look,
467
00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:46,042
it has a place where you'd
put a nail or a fastener.
468
00:20:46,250 --> 00:20:47,587
Yeah, that's
definitely a hole, mate,
469
00:20:47,667 --> 00:20:48,667
from a fastener.
470
00:20:48,833 --> 00:20:50,393
Could be another
piece that dates as old
471
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,833
- as that ship railing.
- Yeah.
472
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:53,625
Hand-shaped wood?
473
00:20:53,792 --> 00:20:55,708
Found in the same area
474
00:20:55,917 --> 00:20:58,125
where the team unearthed
a piece of ship's railing
475
00:20:58,250 --> 00:20:59,833
in 2020
476
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,500
that was dated to as
early as the eighth century?
477
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:06,417
This has for sure
been in man's hands.
478
00:21:06,583 --> 00:21:08,875
If Steve Guptill is correct
479
00:21:09,042 --> 00:21:10,292
that this artifact
480
00:21:10,417 --> 00:21:12,750
may be from the same era,
481
00:21:12,917 --> 00:21:15,333
could it represent more
evidence to support
482
00:21:15,542 --> 00:21:17,125
Dr. Doug Symons' belief
483
00:21:17,250 --> 00:21:18,917
that Vikings
484
00:21:19,042 --> 00:21:20,500
may have visited Oak Island
485
00:21:20,708 --> 00:21:23,667
approximately 1,000 years ago?
486
00:21:23,792 --> 00:21:26,333
In terms of artifact
recovery in the swamp,
487
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:28,417
the ship's railing and these
488
00:21:28,583 --> 00:21:31,375
very early, early,
early carbon dates,
489
00:21:31,542 --> 00:21:33,042
they have to be telling a story,
490
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:34,628
and you have to come
to an understanding
491
00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:36,333
of what they may
or may not represent.
492
00:21:36,542 --> 00:21:38,167
Well, you know what?
493
00:21:38,333 --> 00:21:40,087
- It's worth taking back.
- You're right, mate.
494
00:21:40,167 --> 00:21:42,583
- Yeah.
- We're taking any interesting pieces of wood back
495
00:21:42,792 --> 00:21:44,958
- because of that ship's rail.
- That's right.
496
00:21:45,083 --> 00:21:47,375
Piecing the ship together
one piece at a time.
497
00:21:47,542 --> 00:21:49,042
Yeah. This is good.
498
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:51,167
While Billy, Gary, and Steve
499
00:21:51,333 --> 00:21:54,208
continue digging for
clues in the swamp,
500
00:21:54,375 --> 00:21:55,792
and as the operation
501
00:21:55,875 --> 00:21:59,125
to uncover the possible
treasure tunnel proceeds
502
00:21:59,250 --> 00:22:00,958
beneath the Garden Shaft...
503
00:22:02,208 --> 00:22:04,167
- Hey, everyone.
- Hey, hey.
504
00:22:04,375 --> 00:22:05,542
Hi there.
505
00:22:05,708 --> 00:22:06,458
On this side...
506
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:08,458
Have you reached the bottom yet?
507
00:22:08,625 --> 00:22:10,417
This is at the bottom, here.
508
00:22:10,583 --> 00:22:13,833
- That is almost.
- All right.
509
00:22:14,042 --> 00:22:16,333
In the northern region of Lot 5,
510
00:22:16,458 --> 00:22:18,917
located on the western
side of the island...
511
00:22:19,125 --> 00:22:20,583
I'll go back to sifting.
512
00:22:20,750 --> 00:22:22,125
Jack Begley joins
513
00:22:22,250 --> 00:22:23,917
archaeologists Laird Niven
514
00:22:24,083 --> 00:22:27,333
and Helen Sheldon where
they continue investigating
515
00:22:27,542 --> 00:22:30,500
a mysterious
rectangular foundation.
516
00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:33,125
Sub all the
way to the bottom now.
517
00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:35,708
Since Rick, Marty,
518
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:38,042
and Craig Tester's
purchase of Lot 5
519
00:22:38,208 --> 00:22:40,000
one year ago, the team has made
520
00:22:40,167 --> 00:22:41,500
a number of intriguing
521
00:22:41,708 --> 00:22:44,042
discoveries in
and near this site,
522
00:22:44,208 --> 00:22:46,750
including pottery and pipe stems
523
00:22:46,917 --> 00:22:49,333
that have been
dated to the same era
524
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:51,833
as the 18th-century
Garden Shaft.
525
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,375
However, just several
yards to the south,
526
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:58,000
the team discovered
three Roman coins
527
00:22:58,167 --> 00:22:59,917
dating back to between
528
00:23:00,125 --> 00:23:03,125
1,500 and 2,000 years ago.
529
00:23:03,292 --> 00:23:05,042
Not at sub here yet.
530
00:23:05,208 --> 00:23:06,833
- Yeah.
- Now,
531
00:23:07,042 --> 00:23:09,208
Laird and Helen are carefully
532
00:23:09,333 --> 00:23:12,125
removing soil from the
bottom of the feature
533
00:23:12,292 --> 00:23:13,833
so that Jack can
sift the materials
534
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,792
for potential clues that
could help determine
535
00:23:16,958 --> 00:23:19,625
who created it and when.
536
00:23:23,875 --> 00:23:26,000
I think we've
got something here.
537
00:23:26,208 --> 00:23:28,042
What's that?
538
00:23:28,208 --> 00:23:29,625
I don't know.
539
00:23:35,292 --> 00:23:37,625
- Ooh, wow.
- Ooh, yeah.
540
00:23:40,542 --> 00:23:42,333
We have
a coin. Look at that.
541
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,625
My gosh.
542
00:23:44,792 --> 00:23:46,542
- Nice.
- It's copper.
543
00:23:46,708 --> 00:23:48,500
You can see the
bit of green patina.
544
00:23:48,667 --> 00:23:50,833
A copper coin?
545
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,333
Although the team has made
discoveries in this feature
546
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,042
that have been dated
to the 18th century...
547
00:23:58,042 --> 00:23:59,917
could this coin, which was found
548
00:24:00,042 --> 00:24:01,792
in a deeper layer
of the foundation,
549
00:24:01,875 --> 00:24:05,042
be older and also help identify
550
00:24:05,208 --> 00:24:07,750
who originally created it?
551
00:24:07,917 --> 00:24:10,542
Really good find,
Helen. This is the type of thing
552
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:12,583
that Marty's gonna
want to see. So, let me
553
00:24:12,708 --> 00:24:14,458
- send him a text.
- Good stuff.
554
00:24:14,625 --> 00:24:16,458
Yeah. Definitely.
555
00:24:16,625 --> 00:24:19,500
As we work
away with our excavations,
556
00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:22,042
it's more and more
evident to us that it is
557
00:24:22,208 --> 00:24:24,875
an older and perhaps
much more important feature.
558
00:24:25,083 --> 00:24:27,083
So, it's really exciting.
559
00:24:27,250 --> 00:24:29,375
We're finding lots of
artifacts, and we can't wait
560
00:24:29,542 --> 00:24:31,083
to get down to
the bottom of this.
561
00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:33,167
- Okay.
- Hello.
562
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:35,170
- Hey, Marty.
- I'm here at my favorite pastime.
563
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:36,333
Anything new?
564
00:24:36,542 --> 00:24:37,708
Yeah. We've just
565
00:24:37,875 --> 00:24:39,155
popped out a coin.
566
00:24:39,250 --> 00:24:40,750
- Yeah. So...
- I like that.
567
00:24:40,917 --> 00:24:41,667
Any dates?
568
00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:43,833
It's not in very good shape.
569
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,875
It's copper because you can see
570
00:24:46,042 --> 00:24:47,208
the green patina on it.
571
00:24:47,375 --> 00:24:49,292
At the moment, I would say,
572
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,500
it's a George III half penny.
573
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:54,125
- It's the same size, same metal.
- Yeah.
574
00:24:54,333 --> 00:24:55,462
- Yeah.
- Same sort of weight,
575
00:24:55,542 --> 00:24:57,500
which is like 1780s.
576
00:24:57,708 --> 00:24:59,500
Nice. That's excellent.
577
00:24:59,667 --> 00:25:00,878
- Right down there in the black stuff?
- Nope.
578
00:25:00,958 --> 00:25:02,253
It was actually up
here on the side.
579
00:25:02,333 --> 00:25:03,500
- On the edge.
- Yeah.
580
00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:04,753
Now, I'm actually getting
down to the bottom.
581
00:25:04,833 --> 00:25:07,083
I took all that out yesterday,
582
00:25:07,208 --> 00:25:08,667
and what I found was that
583
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:11,792
this jumble of rocks
continued further down
584
00:25:11,958 --> 00:25:14,250
and very few artifacts at all.
585
00:25:14,375 --> 00:25:15,667
So, what does that suggest?
586
00:25:15,833 --> 00:25:17,667
I still think it's
an infilled cellar.
587
00:25:17,833 --> 00:25:19,167
- From when?
- Well,
588
00:25:19,292 --> 00:25:20,372
it was filled in the 1780s.
589
00:25:20,542 --> 00:25:22,500
- So, before then.
- Excellent.
590
00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:25,917
Because
archaeologist Helen Sheldon believes
591
00:25:26,083 --> 00:25:28,708
that this possibly
18th-century coin
592
00:25:28,875 --> 00:25:31,542
is an indication of
when this foundation
593
00:25:31,708 --> 00:25:33,375
was purposely infilled,
594
00:25:33,542 --> 00:25:35,458
or buried,
595
00:25:35,625 --> 00:25:38,250
what this coin discovery
ultimately suggests
596
00:25:38,417 --> 00:25:40,833
is that the feature predates
597
00:25:41,042 --> 00:25:42,333
that time period.
598
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:43,750
So, the burning questions
599
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:47,208
surrounding this
feature on Lot 5 remain.
600
00:25:47,375 --> 00:25:49,333
Who built it? When?
601
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:51,375
And for what purpose?
602
00:25:51,542 --> 00:25:53,253
Maybe there
was some sort of structure
603
00:25:53,333 --> 00:25:54,667
at the rectangular feature,
604
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:56,625
and then it was
intentionally buried.
605
00:25:56,833 --> 00:25:58,667
If we could get
a definitive date,
606
00:25:58,833 --> 00:26:00,542
it could be very,
very interesting
607
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:03,042
as to who was here first
and what were they doing.
608
00:26:03,167 --> 00:26:04,667
Well, that's fabulous.
609
00:26:04,875 --> 00:26:06,275
Who knows where that might lead.
610
00:26:06,375 --> 00:26:07,833
And we also have this
611
00:26:07,917 --> 00:26:09,542
funny piece of metal
that's sticking out,
612
00:26:09,708 --> 00:26:11,208
which I don't
know what it is yet.
613
00:26:11,375 --> 00:26:13,333
How solidly is it in there?
614
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:13,625
It's in there pretty...
615
00:26:14,292 --> 00:26:15,292
It's in there pretty...
616
00:26:15,833 --> 00:26:17,128
Ooh, no, maybe it's wiggling.
That's weird. Here you go.
617
00:26:17,208 --> 00:26:18,688
- Look at that.
- All right.
618
00:26:18,833 --> 00:26:20,792
Well, how about that?
619
00:26:24,542 --> 00:26:26,375
What about
that big piece of iron?
620
00:26:26,542 --> 00:26:27,708
If I can pry this out.
621
00:26:27,875 --> 00:26:29,667
While investigating
622
00:26:29,833 --> 00:26:33,667
the mysterious rectangular
stone foundation on Lot 5
623
00:26:33,833 --> 00:26:35,583
on the western
side of Oak Island,
624
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:39,125
Marty Lagina, along with
other members of the team
625
00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:43,042
have just found another
potentially important clue.
626
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:46,208
Wow. I think
we've got something here.
627
00:26:46,375 --> 00:26:48,083
A spike?
628
00:26:48,250 --> 00:26:50,125
Looks like it to me.
629
00:26:50,292 --> 00:26:52,042
Is it square? Rose head?
630
00:26:52,208 --> 00:26:54,292
It's square.
631
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:57,167
Nicely pointed.
632
00:26:57,375 --> 00:26:58,500
Here, let me have a look.
633
00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:00,583
Thank you.
634
00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:04,943
- That's huge.
- Yes.
635
00:27:05,042 --> 00:27:06,500
Way too big for a house.
636
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,625
That's a nice example
637
00:27:08,792 --> 00:27:10,667
of a very old nail.
638
00:27:10,875 --> 00:27:12,545
- It's the biggest one we've seen.
- It's big.
639
00:27:12,625 --> 00:27:13,875
Goodness. Wow.
640
00:27:14,042 --> 00:27:15,542
That's definitely forged.
641
00:27:15,708 --> 00:27:17,083
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
642
00:27:17,208 --> 00:27:20,208
- A
- hand-forged iron spike?
643
00:27:20,375 --> 00:27:23,583
Embedded in the wall of
the stone foundation on Lot 5?
644
00:27:23,792 --> 00:27:26,250
Because archaeologists
Laird Niven
645
00:27:26,417 --> 00:27:29,083
and Helen Sheldon believe
that it would not be the kind
646
00:27:29,250 --> 00:27:32,667
of fastener used in the
construction of a house,
647
00:27:32,833 --> 00:27:35,208
could it be an important clue
648
00:27:35,417 --> 00:27:37,750
that might help the
team determine just why
649
00:27:37,875 --> 00:27:40,167
this feature was created?
650
00:27:40,375 --> 00:27:43,542
It's incredibly gratifying,
all the things we're finding,
651
00:27:43,708 --> 00:27:45,462
and the fact that this is
bigger than we thought.
652
00:27:45,542 --> 00:27:48,292
This is something different
than a domestic structure.
653
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:50,500
Maybe we're finding the camp
654
00:27:50,667 --> 00:27:52,375
that would've been necessary,
655
00:27:52,542 --> 00:27:55,583
for such a big operation as
what happened at the Money Pit.
656
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:59,167
- For its length, it's very slender.
- It's thin. It is.
657
00:27:59,375 --> 00:28:02,208
And then, of course,
we'll test the metallurgy.
658
00:28:02,375 --> 00:28:04,712
Normally, they're more
hefty when they're this long.
659
00:28:04,792 --> 00:28:06,333
Interesting piece.
660
00:28:06,458 --> 00:28:07,878
All right.
Find some more stuff.
661
00:28:07,958 --> 00:28:08,833
See you, Marty.
662
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,708
You're like a good luck charm.
663
00:28:10,875 --> 00:28:12,833
Yeah. This time, yeah.
664
00:28:15,208 --> 00:28:17,417
The following morning...
665
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,583
I know one thing,
Gary is quite excited, right?
666
00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:25,167
Yep. Pulling metal out
of that tunnel that deep.
667
00:28:25,375 --> 00:28:26,375
Brilliant.
668
00:28:26,542 --> 00:28:28,333
Rick Lagina,
669
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:30,500
Gary Drayton, and other
members of the team
670
00:28:30,625 --> 00:28:34,500
meet with blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge
671
00:28:34,625 --> 00:28:36,500
in the Oak Island Laboratory.
672
00:28:36,708 --> 00:28:38,833
Well, without further ado,
673
00:28:39,042 --> 00:28:41,500
here we go, top
pocket finds, yeah.
674
00:28:41,667 --> 00:28:43,292
Here you go, mate.
675
00:28:43,458 --> 00:28:45,417
There's the two finds.
676
00:28:45,583 --> 00:28:47,583
They are eager to have Carmen
677
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:50,458
and archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan
678
00:28:50,667 --> 00:28:52,667
examine the two metal artifacts
679
00:28:52,833 --> 00:28:55,583
that Gary discovered
one week ago
680
00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:57,417
within the possible
treasure tunnel
681
00:28:57,625 --> 00:28:59,833
that sets below
the Garden Shaft.
682
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:01,500
How heavy are they?
683
00:29:01,708 --> 00:29:04,667
This one is light,
684
00:29:04,792 --> 00:29:06,208
and, this one's a bit heavier.
685
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:08,500
Looks like it's shaped,
686
00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:11,667
but I think that the
tips have fasteners
687
00:29:11,833 --> 00:29:14,667
and the rest of them are
underneath the boards.
688
00:29:14,833 --> 00:29:17,500
Carmen, what do you see there?
689
00:29:17,708 --> 00:29:19,750
What's your first
impressions, Carmen?
690
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:21,500
From looking at
this from all angles,
691
00:29:21,708 --> 00:29:24,000
I-I-I have no clue what this is.
692
00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:28,333
And that's why we found
it really interesting as well.
693
00:29:30,417 --> 00:29:32,000
It does, yeah.
694
00:29:41,333 --> 00:29:44,417
Emma, can you run
a preliminary scan?
695
00:29:44,542 --> 00:29:46,500
So, the XRF on this one
'cause it's more exposed,
696
00:29:46,667 --> 00:29:48,000
and I'll do a CT
scan on this one,
697
00:29:48,167 --> 00:29:50,333
and it shouldn't take
long 'cause it's so tiny.
698
00:29:50,542 --> 00:29:51,833
- Great.
- All right.
699
00:29:51,958 --> 00:29:54,333
In order to provide analysis
700
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:56,333
of the two metal artifacts,
701
00:29:56,542 --> 00:29:58,500
Emma will scan the smaller one
702
00:29:58,583 --> 00:30:02,292
using the SkyScan
1273 CT scanner,
703
00:30:02,417 --> 00:30:05,500
a device which
emits X-ray radiation
704
00:30:05,708 --> 00:30:08,833
that can penetrate corrosion
and sediment on an artifact
705
00:30:09,042 --> 00:30:13,167
to produce a three-dimensional
image of its finer details.
706
00:30:14,208 --> 00:30:17,000
She will concurrently
scan the larger object
707
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:19,667
using the X-ray
fluorescence spectrometer.
708
00:30:19,833 --> 00:30:22,667
This device emits
nondestructive radiation
709
00:30:22,833 --> 00:30:26,167
to reveal the elements that
make up an object's composition,
710
00:30:26,375 --> 00:30:30,208
which can potentially
help determine its age.
711
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:32,875
Okay, so I did what I could.
712
00:30:33,042 --> 00:30:34,875
- Is that the bigger piece?
- Yeah.
713
00:30:41,208 --> 00:30:42,962
Right there, you
can see that. That's a snap.
714
00:30:43,042 --> 00:30:44,917
So, more than likely a fastener.
715
00:30:46,167 --> 00:30:47,458
Yeah.
716
00:30:48,875 --> 00:30:50,792
Would it have been
a box? A chest?
717
00:31:00,542 --> 00:31:03,500
Excellent. That's a little bit
more motivation to get back down
718
00:31:03,708 --> 00:31:05,417
in that tunnel.
719
00:31:05,583 --> 00:31:07,292
A metal fastener
720
00:31:07,458 --> 00:31:09,833
found in the tunnel
below the Garden Shaft
721
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,750
that was possibly used
for hanging a lantern
722
00:31:12,917 --> 00:31:15,583
or potentially
related to a chest?
723
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:19,333
If so, has the team
found evidence
724
00:31:19,458 --> 00:31:22,875
of an operation to deposit
valuables deep underground
725
00:31:23,042 --> 00:31:25,125
in the Money Pit area?
726
00:31:25,667 --> 00:31:27,625
So, this is the smaller one.
727
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:29,000
Is it square?
728
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:31,250
I would say it is. Yeah.
729
00:31:31,375 --> 00:31:33,337
- It looks... Yeah.
- Yeah, it's tapering. It is handwrought.
730
00:31:33,417 --> 00:31:35,817
- So, from the grain structure, it is wrought.
- Nice.
731
00:31:44,333 --> 00:31:45,708
Very old.
732
00:31:45,875 --> 00:31:48,458
- Why-why do you say that?
- How... Yeah.
733
00:31:56,208 --> 00:31:58,000
That tells me
it's very, very old.
734
00:31:58,208 --> 00:31:59,962
When you say "very old,"
can you put a time period?
735
00:32:00,042 --> 00:32:01,625
For "very old"?
736
00:32:01,792 --> 00:32:04,083
I would say late 1400 to...
737
00:32:04,208 --> 00:32:04,292
- mid-1700s.
- Wow.
738
00:32:05,042 --> 00:32:06,292
- Mid-1700s.
- Wow.
739
00:32:12,542 --> 00:32:13,292
Small spike.
740
00:32:13,458 --> 00:32:14,667
Very old.
741
00:32:14,875 --> 00:32:17,542
I would say late
1400 to mid-1700s.
742
00:32:19,042 --> 00:32:21,167
- That's definitely pre-searcher.
- Yeah.
743
00:32:21,333 --> 00:32:23,792
In the Oak Island Laboratory,
744
00:32:23,958 --> 00:32:26,625
blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge
745
00:32:26,750 --> 00:32:28,083
has just informed Rick Lagina
746
00:32:28,208 --> 00:32:29,792
and members of the team
747
00:32:29,875 --> 00:32:32,042
that a metal artifact retrieved
748
00:32:32,208 --> 00:32:33,833
from the possible
treasure tunnel
749
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,917
located below the Garden Shaft
750
00:32:36,042 --> 00:32:40,125
could date back to as
early as the 15th century.
751
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:43,000
Could it be later
than the mid-1700s?
752
00:32:43,208 --> 00:32:44,833
- Not in my opinion, no.
- Okay.
753
00:32:45,042 --> 00:32:46,722
- That's hugely significant.
- Yeah.
754
00:32:46,833 --> 00:32:49,375
Yeah. I mean, that matches
the dates that we're getting in...
755
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:50,500
in the tunnel.
756
00:32:50,625 --> 00:32:52,917
1600, 1700s.
757
00:33:04,875 --> 00:33:06,333
Wow.
758
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:08,667
Four weeks ago,
759
00:33:08,833 --> 00:33:12,000
the Oak Island team
received a carbon dating report
760
00:33:12,167 --> 00:33:15,333
that the tunnel just
below the Garden Shaft
761
00:33:15,542 --> 00:33:19,292
may have been constructed
as much as 150 years prior
762
00:33:19,458 --> 00:33:21,542
to the discovery
of the Money Pit.
763
00:33:21,708 --> 00:33:24,583
And while the team's
water testing analysis
764
00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:27,667
that has been conducted
over the past two years
765
00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:30,125
in previously drilled boreholes
766
00:33:30,250 --> 00:33:33,667
has indicated that there could
be numerous treasure deposits
767
00:33:33,833 --> 00:33:36,125
buried across the
Money Pit area,
768
00:33:36,292 --> 00:33:39,208
is it possible that
they are narrowing in
769
00:33:39,333 --> 00:33:42,375
on when at least one of them
was hidden on Oak Island?
770
00:33:42,542 --> 00:33:44,333
A lot of dates
771
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:48,542
strongly suggest some
earlier level of participation.
772
00:33:49,542 --> 00:33:52,000
But they are so distinctly
different timelines
773
00:33:52,208 --> 00:33:56,000
that it makes this puzzle
all the more complex.
774
00:33:56,875 --> 00:33:58,708
But it also opens the door
775
00:33:58,833 --> 00:34:00,500
to a lot of other possibilities,
776
00:34:00,625 --> 00:34:03,250
perhaps possibilities that
we are currently unaware of.
777
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:04,833
The hope is, as
the work continues,
778
00:34:05,042 --> 00:34:07,333
we will get more clarity.
779
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:09,542
I will see if I can
get ahold of my dad.
780
00:34:12,875 --> 00:34:14,333
Hey.
781
00:34:14,542 --> 00:34:17,083
So, there's a bunch
of us here in the lab.
782
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:21,333
And two pieces of iron
came out of the Garden Shaft.
783
00:34:21,458 --> 00:34:23,792
And, Carmen, do
you want to tell him how...
784
00:34:23,958 --> 00:34:25,833
What the-the age range was?
785
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Just looking
at the structure of the nail
786
00:34:29,208 --> 00:34:30,333
and the size of the nail,
787
00:34:30,542 --> 00:34:34,292
I would say late
1400 to mid-1700s.
788
00:34:36,292 --> 00:34:39,167
With the lack of manganese
and the high content of sulfur,
789
00:34:39,375 --> 00:34:42,333
it could indicate yet
an older iron source.
790
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:44,167
Boom, baby! There it is.
791
00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:45,628
- Yeah.
- I agree with Emma.
792
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:47,750
This tends to be, um,
793
00:34:47,917 --> 00:34:49,583
indicative of older metal.
794
00:34:56,708 --> 00:34:58,167
- Yep.
- Absolutely.
795
00:34:58,292 --> 00:35:00,000
Yeah.
796
00:35:00,167 --> 00:35:01,708
For sure, mate.
797
00:35:05,375 --> 00:35:06,667
Okeydoke.
798
00:35:07,667 --> 00:35:09,920
- All right. -Fair enough.
- We'll keep you posted. See ya.
799
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,458
This is different.
800
00:35:11,625 --> 00:35:14,000
This is a different
moment we are at.
801
00:35:14,208 --> 00:35:16,125
On some level, it's a
very pivotal moment.
802
00:35:16,292 --> 00:35:19,625
I've got tunnel vision right now.
803
00:35:21,625 --> 00:35:23,667
Later that afternoon...
804
00:35:25,333 --> 00:35:26,167
This is it, mate.
805
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:27,875
I love this spot.
806
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:30,250
So we'll really have
to keep our eyes open.
807
00:35:30,417 --> 00:35:32,500
All right.
808
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:36,083
Gary Drayton, Steve Guptill
809
00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:38,542
and Billy Gerhardt
810
00:35:38,708 --> 00:35:41,208
continue excavating
for important clues
811
00:35:41,375 --> 00:35:43,792
near the southern
border of the swamp.
812
00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:47,417
I'm always
excited to get in the swamp,
813
00:35:47,625 --> 00:35:50,125
especially in the
southeast corner,
814
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:53,333
because we have already
recovered some amazing artifacts
815
00:35:53,542 --> 00:35:54,667
from this area.
816
00:35:54,875 --> 00:35:58,333
If we can find more
parts of that ship,
817
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:01,458
it will be a great
day on Oak Island.
818
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:04,000
What's happening, Billy?
819
00:36:04,208 --> 00:36:06,875
Just got a little
wood here, and I...
820
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:08,625
What kind of wood?
821
00:36:08,792 --> 00:36:10,462
Somebody's dug down
in the swamp, and there...
822
00:36:10,542 --> 00:36:12,542
We got a bunch of
horizontal and vertical boards.
823
00:36:14,125 --> 00:36:15,542
There's a wall of a...
824
00:36:15,708 --> 00:36:18,208
shaft, retaining
wall, something.
825
00:36:18,333 --> 00:36:20,000
Maybe it's what Fred probed.
826
00:36:20,167 --> 00:36:21,958
So you think it could be
827
00:36:22,125 --> 00:36:24,587
- potentially what Fred was probing when he thought...
- Well...
828
00:36:24,667 --> 00:36:26,253
- he hit the wall?
- There's-there's potential of that.
829
00:36:26,333 --> 00:36:28,625
A possible wall
830
00:36:28,792 --> 00:36:32,333
buried at the southern
border of the swamp?
831
00:36:33,792 --> 00:36:37,000
While investigating this
area more than 30 years ago,
832
00:36:37,167 --> 00:36:41,500
the late treasure hunter and
Oak Island landowner Fred Nolan
833
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:45,750
reportedly discovered
a wooden wall or dam.
834
00:36:46,208 --> 00:36:50,042
A dam that Fred believed
represented evidence
835
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:52,625
that the swamp was
an artificial feature
836
00:36:52,792 --> 00:36:55,292
that had been
created centuries ago
837
00:36:55,458 --> 00:36:58,375
in order to hide
something of great value.
838
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:01,333
Is it possible that
the team has found
839
00:37:01,542 --> 00:37:03,917
a section of that
same construct?
840
00:37:04,542 --> 00:37:07,375
And if so, could it be related
841
00:37:07,542 --> 00:37:10,000
to the potentially
1,250-year-old piece
842
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:14,958
of ship's railing that the team
found nearby back in 2020?
843
00:37:16,125 --> 00:37:17,833
I think we're onto
something, mate.
844
00:37:17,917 --> 00:37:19,875
I think we got
to get the guys here.
845
00:37:20,042 --> 00:37:23,542
Looks like somebody was digging
down in the depths of the swamp.
846
00:37:23,708 --> 00:37:25,667
You make a
good point, Billy. I mean,
847
00:37:25,833 --> 00:37:28,708
it's really close, I would
say feet off of the stone road.
848
00:37:28,833 --> 00:37:31,253
- Yeah.
- So I think it could be really important and maybe related
849
00:37:31,333 --> 00:37:32,503
- to the stone road.
- Yeah.
850
00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:35,667
Let's get back to
base, tell the guys.
851
00:37:35,833 --> 00:37:37,500
Good eyes, Billy.
852
00:37:42,583 --> 00:37:44,170
Somebody was doing
work in the body of the swamp.
853
00:37:44,250 --> 00:37:45,503
Yeah, that's
a good point. So...
854
00:37:45,583 --> 00:37:47,167
this is a little more curious,
855
00:37:47,292 --> 00:37:49,208
in terms of...
856
00:37:49,333 --> 00:37:50,503
Did somebody excavate here,
857
00:37:50,583 --> 00:37:54,833
put that in in
modern times or...
858
00:37:55,042 --> 00:37:56,250
- is it older?
- Right.
859
00:37:56,417 --> 00:37:58,000
After a mysterious
860
00:37:58,167 --> 00:37:59,407
wooden structure was discovered
861
00:37:59,583 --> 00:38:01,333
at the southern
edge of the swamp
862
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:03,083
just one day ago...
863
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:04,583
You probably want
864
00:38:04,750 --> 00:38:06,667
- to take a look.
- At some point, yeah.
865
00:38:06,833 --> 00:38:10,833
Rick Lagina has invited
geoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner
866
00:38:11,042 --> 00:38:12,667
to inspect the feature.
867
00:38:13,583 --> 00:38:14,833
What interests me
868
00:38:14,958 --> 00:38:17,208
is it's down into the sediment.
869
00:38:17,375 --> 00:38:18,462
I really want to see the context
870
00:38:18,542 --> 00:38:20,333
of that and the
sediment around it.
871
00:38:20,417 --> 00:38:21,417
Yep.
872
00:38:21,583 --> 00:38:23,458
We can see this red stuff here.
873
00:38:23,542 --> 00:38:24,920
That red stuff is what's underneath
874
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,500
- the stone road.
- Right.
875
00:38:26,708 --> 00:38:28,542
Just to the west
876
00:38:28,708 --> 00:38:32,000
lies the potentially
500-year-old stone road
877
00:38:32,167 --> 00:38:33,667
or ship's wharf,
878
00:38:33,833 --> 00:38:37,625
a feature that may date to
roughly the same time period
879
00:38:37,792 --> 00:38:41,000
as the wooden tunnel
below the Garden Shaft.
880
00:38:41,625 --> 00:38:43,500
If we start seeing
that red stuff within
881
00:38:43,667 --> 00:38:45,875
and around that wood structure,
882
00:38:46,042 --> 00:38:48,542
that will possibly place
it further back in time.
883
00:38:48,708 --> 00:38:49,750
Yeah.
884
00:38:49,917 --> 00:38:51,625
Is it possible that this feature
885
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:54,917
may be related to
the nearby stone road,
886
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:57,375
as Dr. Spooner is speculating?
887
00:38:57,542 --> 00:39:00,958
And perhaps also to the
possible treasure tunnel
888
00:39:01,167 --> 00:39:02,958
in the Money Pit area?
889
00:39:03,167 --> 00:39:06,000
This was always
the area that I...
890
00:39:06,208 --> 00:39:08,000
was really interested in.
891
00:39:08,125 --> 00:39:09,525
In terms of trying
to find something
892
00:39:09,667 --> 00:39:11,875
that connects the stone
road to something else.
893
00:39:12,042 --> 00:39:14,875
- Right.
- We know it had to be used for something else,
894
00:39:15,042 --> 00:39:16,628
and they were going
somewhere and doing something.
895
00:39:16,708 --> 00:39:18,083
Yeah.
896
00:39:18,208 --> 00:39:20,500
If this is as old
as the stone road,
897
00:39:20,708 --> 00:39:21,920
could this have been
some sort of a loading
898
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000
and unloading platform?
899
00:39:23,167 --> 00:39:24,667
That's kind of interesting.
900
00:39:24,833 --> 00:39:27,167
You tie
something to it, the cargo,
901
00:39:27,333 --> 00:39:29,417
swing it off, unload,
load, unload, load.
902
00:39:29,583 --> 00:39:31,542
- Sure. They'd pull the big boat up.
- Yeah.
903
00:39:31,708 --> 00:39:33,833
They'd unload their goods.
904
00:39:33,958 --> 00:39:36,670
- Yeah.
- And they could have built other structures as well.
905
00:39:36,750 --> 00:39:37,750
Yeah.
906
00:39:38,708 --> 00:39:40,292
There's precious little known
907
00:39:40,458 --> 00:39:42,018
about the southeast
corner of the swamp.
908
00:39:42,125 --> 00:39:43,500
I wish I understood
909
00:39:43,667 --> 00:39:45,708
why we're making these
discoveries in the swamp
910
00:39:45,917 --> 00:39:49,458
that has endured
over two centuries.
911
00:39:49,625 --> 00:39:53,083
I think there were
activities conducted here,
912
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:55,167
maybe not by the same persons
913
00:39:55,250 --> 00:39:57,958
but maybe by a
same group or entity
914
00:39:58,125 --> 00:39:59,958
over generations,
915
00:40:00,125 --> 00:40:01,458
perhaps even centuries.
916
00:40:01,667 --> 00:40:03,417
This wood here
is interesting, too,
917
00:40:03,625 --> 00:40:05,750
because it's round on
the edges, flat on the top.
918
00:40:05,875 --> 00:40:07,250
That's pretty old.
919
00:40:07,458 --> 00:40:09,833
I think the desire
920
00:40:09,958 --> 00:40:11,667
on all parts is to dig
921
00:40:11,833 --> 00:40:14,125
and expose the
structure in its entirety
922
00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:18,125
so we can come to a real good
understanding of its purpose.
923
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:20,792
And hopefully there's
an artifact or two
924
00:40:20,958 --> 00:40:22,958
that might tell us
what its purpose was.
925
00:40:23,125 --> 00:40:27,000
Somebody put a huge effort
into installing something,
926
00:40:27,125 --> 00:40:29,792
and, Like, we have to
be careful, is all I'm saying.
927
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,667
Okay.
928
00:40:31,875 --> 00:40:34,125
I think
that's-that's pretty cool.
929
00:40:34,292 --> 00:40:35,292
- Yeah.
- Yep.
930
00:40:35,417 --> 00:40:37,167
Okay. For right now,
931
00:40:37,292 --> 00:40:39,250
- let's call it a day.
- Yeah.
932
00:40:39,417 --> 00:40:40,500
- Okeydoke.
- Okay.
933
00:40:40,708 --> 00:40:42,000
- All righty. Thank you.
- Yeah.
934
00:40:42,208 --> 00:40:43,248
All right. Good job.
935
00:40:43,333 --> 00:40:44,750
- Thanks, Billy.
- Yep!
936
00:40:44,917 --> 00:40:47,500
For the Laginas and their team,
937
00:40:47,708 --> 00:40:50,000
the complexity and intrigue
938
00:40:50,208 --> 00:40:55,833
of the 229-year-old Oak Island
mystery continues to grow.
939
00:40:56,250 --> 00:40:58,542
Could it truly have originated
940
00:40:58,667 --> 00:41:00,875
more than a thousand years ago
941
00:41:01,083 --> 00:41:05,625
with a secret deposit
of priceless holy relics?
942
00:41:05,750 --> 00:41:09,042
And could there have been
a generational conspiracy
943
00:41:09,208 --> 00:41:10,500
that followed
944
00:41:10,667 --> 00:41:13,958
in order to protect and add to
945
00:41:14,125 --> 00:41:15,833
those treasures?
946
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,625
The evidence and research
suggest that it's possible.
947
00:41:20,792 --> 00:41:24,042
And perhaps the
ultimate question now is,
948
00:41:24,208 --> 00:41:29,125
can Rick, Marty and
their team prove it?
949
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,625
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
950
00:41:34,750 --> 00:41:36,667
This is the secret of secrets.
951
00:41:36,792 --> 00:41:38,417
The message being
conveyed in code
952
00:41:38,583 --> 00:41:40,750
is that the Ark of the
Covenant is on Oak Island.
953
00:41:40,917 --> 00:41:42,875
- You can put "X" on the spot?
- Correct.
954
00:41:44,083 --> 00:41:46,042
- Holy cow!
- Wow!
955
00:41:46,250 --> 00:41:47,708
Is it truly silver?
956
00:41:47,875 --> 00:41:48,458
It is silver.
957
00:41:48,625 --> 00:41:49,792
About 90%.
958
00:41:49,917 --> 00:41:50,667
Yes!
959
00:41:50,833 --> 00:41:52,208
In 40 years,
960
00:41:52,375 --> 00:41:53,292
I can't remember
a piece of silver.
961
00:41:53,375 --> 00:41:54,083
Is that it?
962
00:41:54,208 --> 00:41:55,208
I see it, mate.
963
00:41:55,292 --> 00:41:56,542
Underneath that boulder.
964
00:41:56,750 --> 00:41:58,125
Look at that!
965
00:41:58,708 --> 00:42:00,208
What the heck is that?
966
00:42:00,333 --> 00:42:02,042
