00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:03,304
NARRATOR: Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island,
2
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:05,139
a special season finale.
3
00:00:05,173 --> 00:00:06,640
GARY:
I took the gem
4
00:00:06,674 --> 00:00:09,077
to a gemologist.
5
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:12,480
It's a 500-year-old stone.
6
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:14,548
-Get him in the water.
-Eyes and boots.
7
00:00:14,582 --> 00:00:16,050
Yes!
8
00:00:16,084 --> 00:00:17,051
RICK:
What is down there,
9
00:00:17,085 --> 00:00:18,052
and can we get it out?
10
00:00:19,587 --> 00:00:20,721
They found something, Rick.
11
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:22,656
Oak Island is for real.
12
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:24,392
A lot of this
looks spendable, David.
13
00:00:24,425 --> 00:00:26,394
-I say we celebrate.
14
00:00:26,427 --> 00:00:27,795
There's treasure on Oak Island.
15
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:28,729
JACK:
Yeah!
16
00:00:31,432 --> 00:00:34,468
NARRATOR: There is an island
in the North Atlantic
17
00:00:34,502 --> 00:00:38,206
where people have been looking
for an incredible treasure
18
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:41,175
for more than 200 years.
19
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:44,578
So far, they have found
a stone slab
20
00:00:44,612 --> 00:00:47,548
with strange symbols
carved into it,
21
00:00:47,581 --> 00:00:50,418
mysterious fragments
of human bone,
22
00:00:50,451 --> 00:00:54,422
and a lead cross,
whose origin may stretch back
23
00:00:54,455 --> 00:00:56,690
to the days
of the Knights Templar.
24
00:00:56,724 --> 00:01:02,430
To date, six men have died
trying to solve the mystery.
25
00:01:02,463 --> 00:01:07,501
And, according to legend,
one more will have to die
26
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:10,771
before the treasure
can be found.
27
00:01:21,249 --> 00:01:23,684
With only a few days remaining
28
00:01:23,717 --> 00:01:26,787
before they must shut down
operations for the year...
29
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:29,790
RICK: So, this is
an important war room meeting.
30
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:32,560
NARRATOR: ...brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina
31
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:34,495
have called a meeting
in the war room.
32
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:36,597
They are eager to follow up on
33
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:39,700
what could be one of
the most incredible discoveries
34
00:01:39,733 --> 00:01:44,405
in the 223-year-old search
for treasure on Oak Island.
35
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:46,340
I think, Alex,
we need to dial up
36
00:01:46,374 --> 00:01:49,109
-your father and Craig.
-All right, I'll get them up.
37
00:01:51,345 --> 00:01:52,446
Hey, guys.
38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,514
-Hey, guys.
-Hey, Marty.
39
00:01:53,547 --> 00:01:55,416
-Hey.
-Hello.
40
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:57,851
You know of the find
that Gary made,
41
00:01:57,885 --> 00:02:00,454
regarding the brooch
and the jewel.
42
00:02:00,488 --> 00:02:02,256
-Yes. -Yes.
-RICK: Okay.
43
00:02:05,526 --> 00:02:08,396
GARY: That was weird.
Look at this, Rick.
44
00:02:08,429 --> 00:02:10,331
We've got it.
45
00:02:10,364 --> 00:02:12,900
NARRATOR: Two days ago,
while searching on Lot 8
46
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:15,503
located near the middle
of the island,
47
00:02:15,536 --> 00:02:18,839
Rick Lagina and metal detection
expert Gary Drayton
48
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:20,808
discovered a curious object.
49
00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:23,911
-Look at that.
-Oh, man.
50
00:02:23,944 --> 00:02:25,679
NARRATOR:
Upon further investigation,
51
00:02:25,713 --> 00:02:28,382
it appeared they had found
an antique brooch,
52
00:02:28,416 --> 00:02:32,220
a brooch which featured
a large, deep red stone.
53
00:02:32,253 --> 00:02:33,821
Rick, we just found a jewel.
54
00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:35,489
That's gorgeous.
55
00:02:35,523 --> 00:02:37,491
Look at how many facets on that.
56
00:02:37,525 --> 00:02:40,494
GARY:
That is a bobby dazzler.
57
00:02:40,528 --> 00:02:42,896
Right, you're all sitting down,
58
00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:44,498
-which is good 'cause you're...
59
00:02:44,532 --> 00:02:45,866
you're in for a shock.
60
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:49,237
I took the gem-- jewel--
61
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:52,806
to a certified gemologist
62
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,975
in Halifax
63
00:02:55,008 --> 00:02:58,212
and basically asked
what the stone was,
64
00:02:58,246 --> 00:03:00,614
'cause we was all thinking ruby.
65
00:03:00,648 --> 00:03:03,917
But the bad news is
it's not a ruby.
66
00:03:03,951 --> 00:03:08,222
But the good news is
it's a rhodolite garnet.
67
00:03:11,592 --> 00:03:16,664
It's a 400-
or 500-year-old stone.
68
00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:22,770
400 to 500 years ago
69
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:26,340
-puts us into the 1500s
to 1600s. -Yep.
70
00:03:26,374 --> 00:03:29,610
And that's before
any searchers, too.
71
00:03:29,643 --> 00:03:31,479
-Yeah.
-That dates back to being
72
00:03:31,512 --> 00:03:33,847
-probably from
the original depositors. -Yeah.
73
00:03:33,881 --> 00:03:36,917
-The right era we want to be in.
-Yeah.
74
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:39,720
It's a rhodolite garnet.
75
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:45,926
NARRATOR: A rhodolite garnet
is a semiprecious gemstone
76
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:49,397
known for its rose pink
to deep red coloring.
77
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:52,733
Its use in jewelry
dates all the way back
78
00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:55,403
to the days
of the Egyptian pharaohs,
79
00:03:55,436 --> 00:03:57,371
who used them
for both decorative
80
00:03:57,405 --> 00:03:59,973
and ceremonial purposes.
81
00:04:00,007 --> 00:04:05,746
But how did such a unique stone
come to be found on Oak Island?
82
00:04:05,779 --> 00:04:09,550
Could it be a piece of
some kind of pirate treasure
83
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:11,685
or one of the legendary
lost jewels
84
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,522
of Queen Marie Antoinette?
85
00:04:14,555 --> 00:04:16,657
Honestly, I was shocked.
86
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:18,058
I was shocked when Gary said,
87
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:20,928
"Hey, that-that not only
is not glass,
88
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:23,531
"it is at least
a semiprecious stone.
89
00:04:23,564 --> 00:04:26,334
And it could be very old."
90
00:04:26,367 --> 00:04:28,669
I'm not totally shocked,
91
00:04:28,702 --> 00:04:31,639
but again, it's that number.
92
00:04:31,672 --> 00:04:33,674
400 to 500 years old, possibly.
93
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:35,676
That's-that's a huge number.
94
00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:38,078
And, uh, that's surprising.
95
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,447
MARTY:
How does he date that?
96
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,482
How do you date a stone?
97
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:45,753
His opinion was
it was a really old cut.
98
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:48,489
Because remember
when we turned it over
99
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:52,326
-and you could see
the facets on it? -Yes, I...
100
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,994
Well, well, these were hand-cut.
101
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:57,365
These weren't maine-made,
102
00:04:57,398 --> 00:04:58,966
and these were done
before the days
103
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:01,869
when people thought
about refraction
104
00:05:01,902 --> 00:05:03,904
and light
going through the stones.
105
00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:05,906
You know, where they used to do
106
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:09,009
all the fancy cuts,
more modern cuts.
107
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:11,845
This is a hand-cut gem.
108
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:14,482
-GARY: Yep. -Wow.
109
00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:16,016
-There's one other thing.
-GARY: Yep.
110
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:18,652
It is a silver setting.
111
00:05:18,686 --> 00:05:22,856
When people made silver jewelry
long ago,
112
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:25,993
it had an high percentage
of copper in the mix,
113
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:28,396
up to 73%.
114
00:05:28,429 --> 00:05:31,799
And there wouldn't be
that amount of copper
115
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:34,435
in a modern silver jewelry mix.
116
00:05:34,468 --> 00:05:36,670
-Yeah.
-And this copper color
117
00:05:36,704 --> 00:05:39,540
is the copper leaching out.
118
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:41,942
-Oxidizing.
-GARY: Yeah, out of the silver.
119
00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:44,545
And that's how
he was able to tell
120
00:05:44,578 --> 00:05:48,382
that it was really old,
because of the patina on it.
121
00:05:48,416 --> 00:05:50,784
-Wow. -Well, I'll pass
the gemstone around.
122
00:05:50,818 --> 00:05:53,521
Look at that, Charles.
123
00:05:53,554 --> 00:05:55,856
MARTY: David, I think,
I think you might be looking
124
00:05:55,889 --> 00:05:57,057
at a spendable right there.
125
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:58,659
Yeah, I think so, too.
126
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:02,162
Gemstones on Oak Island. Yeah!
127
00:06:03,664 --> 00:06:05,633
-Yeah, baby!
128
00:06:05,666 --> 00:06:07,868
Yeah, baby.
129
00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:09,803
We-we got to figure out
what it means
130
00:06:09,837 --> 00:06:11,905
and bring it to the next expert
and all that.
131
00:06:11,939 --> 00:06:15,509
I'm gonna do a little research
on rhodolite garnet.
132
00:06:15,543 --> 00:06:17,945
I imagine
400 or 500 years ago,
133
00:06:17,978 --> 00:06:19,847
there might only be
a certain amount of places
134
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,749
where such a gem
would come from.
135
00:06:21,782 --> 00:06:22,850
-CRAIG: Yeah.
-Yeah, that's a...
136
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,985
You know, so that's great stuff.
137
00:06:25,018 --> 00:06:26,153
Yeah.
138
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:27,555
MARTY:
Amazing.
139
00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:29,423
A very significant find.
140
00:06:29,457 --> 00:06:31,859
I'm-I'm very surprised.
141
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:33,994
The stone apparently is real
142
00:06:34,027 --> 00:06:36,497
with a, with a cut
that has not been used
143
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:38,832
for a long, long time.
144
00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:40,568
I mean,
it certainly is a "wow" find,
145
00:06:40,601 --> 00:06:41,835
but what does it mean?
146
00:06:41,869 --> 00:06:44,004
Okay, well, we'll move on, then.
147
00:06:44,037 --> 00:06:45,706
Good stuff. Good stuff.
148
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:46,874
Carry on.
-RICK: All right.
149
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,442
-See you. -See you later.
-See you later.
150
00:06:48,476 --> 00:06:49,477
Bye, guys.
151
00:06:56,684 --> 00:06:59,853
NARRATOR: One day after
learning from Gary Drayton
152
00:06:59,887 --> 00:07:02,523
that the deep red stone
they discovered
153
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:06,727
could be a genuine piece
of centuries-old jewelry,
154
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,130
Rick Lagina and members
of the Oak Island team
155
00:07:10,163 --> 00:07:12,032
arrive at the Money Pit site
156
00:07:12,065 --> 00:07:15,035
to meet with diver Mike Huntley
and his crew.
157
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:17,605
I'm just gonna spin the bow
of the van around
158
00:07:17,638 --> 00:07:19,206
so we can see this can here.
159
00:07:19,239 --> 00:07:20,941
NARRATOR:
Mike has been invited
160
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:24,111
to dive the 60-inch-wide
exploratory shaft
161
00:07:24,144 --> 00:07:26,880
known as D.M.T.
162
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:30,551
If successful, he may be able
to determine the exact nature
163
00:07:30,584 --> 00:07:32,686
of what is believed to be
a large object
164
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,055
that has been blocking
the team's efforts
165
00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:37,691
to continue digging
at the site.
166
00:07:37,725 --> 00:07:39,527
ALEX:
Here's Rick.
167
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,861
-Hey, Rick.
168
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:42,195
We're debating and we're hoping.
169
00:07:42,229 --> 00:07:45,032
In the near term,
we're gonna get real answers
170
00:07:45,065 --> 00:07:47,668
from a very significant
question--
171
00:07:47,701 --> 00:07:51,204
i.e. what is down there,
and can we get it out?
172
00:07:51,238 --> 00:07:53,641
There's an obstruction there.
173
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:55,509
We're good to go, guys.
174
00:07:55,543 --> 00:07:57,545
NARRATOR:
Several weeks ago,
175
00:07:57,578 --> 00:07:59,279
the Oak Island team
began digging
176
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:01,882
their second 60-inch-wide shaft
of the year,
177
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:04,585
which they had named D.M.T.
178
00:08:04,618 --> 00:08:08,188
in honor of Craig Tester's
late son, Drake.
179
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:11,124
They were trying to locate
the Chappell Vault,
180
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:14,027
the mysterious
seven-foot-tall wooden box
181
00:08:14,061 --> 00:08:16,263
that treasure hunters
William Chappell
182
00:08:16,296 --> 00:08:20,934
and Frederick Blair
first discovered in 1897.
183
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:24,838
Although the team is convinced
that their first shaft, H-8,
184
00:08:24,872 --> 00:08:27,741
was successful in reaching it
several weeks ago,
185
00:08:27,775 --> 00:08:29,843
they believe
it may have been pushed aside
186
00:08:29,877 --> 00:08:31,979
by the drilling caisson.
187
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:35,549
Unfortunately, two weeks ago,
188
00:08:35,583 --> 00:08:38,218
while the team was drilling
the D.M.T. shaft,
189
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:40,854
their drilling caisson
encountered an obstruction
190
00:08:40,888 --> 00:08:42,956
at a depth of 77 feet.
191
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:44,558
(rapid mechanical clicking,
thump)
192
00:08:47,895 --> 00:08:48,896
DANNY:
It's strong enough to slow
193
00:08:48,929 --> 00:08:51,565
that thing down on a free fall.
That's crazy.
194
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,736
And I think it's a plate
that we've encountered,
195
00:08:55,769 --> 00:08:58,205
and it's not searcher.
196
00:08:58,238 --> 00:09:00,107
It's most likely
from the original people,
197
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:03,777
'cause it seems inconceivable
that searchers would have put
198
00:09:03,811 --> 00:09:06,179
such a big piece of metal
down there.
199
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:09,983
DOUG: I mean,
it's an unexplained anomaly...
200
00:09:10,017 --> 00:09:11,985
at a depth
we didn't expect to hit it at.
201
00:09:12,019 --> 00:09:13,687
-Yeah. -So you got to wonder
what's there
202
00:09:13,721 --> 00:09:15,022
that's exerting that pressure.
203
00:09:15,055 --> 00:09:17,057
JACK: What do we do
if it's a plate, Rick?
204
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:18,959
RICK:
That I don't know, Jack.
205
00:09:18,992 --> 00:09:22,663
For me, it's just...
I'm not gonna multitask.
206
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:24,264
We know that that doesn't work.
207
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:25,999
He'll make
an initial assessment,
208
00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:28,936
and that's as far as I care
to go on the first dive.
209
00:09:28,969 --> 00:09:31,705
And then I think we have
to come up and then decide.
210
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:33,974
I mean, we put flocculant
in the hole.
211
00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:37,611
It's fairly fast-acting.
Should get a really good look.
212
00:09:37,645 --> 00:09:39,246
NARRATOR:
In order to provide
213
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:42,783
the best visibility possible
for the dive operation,
214
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:46,153
Rick and the team have already
treated the D.M.T. shaft
215
00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:49,857
with a substance
known as flocculant,
216
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:53,761
a chemical that causes
particles or small debris
217
00:09:53,794 --> 00:09:56,296
that could be floating in water
to clump together
218
00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:59,767
and settle at the bottom
of their environment.
219
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,769
If it turns out to be a plate
220
00:10:01,802 --> 00:10:04,071
and he can get around
the edge of it,
221
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:07,207
he could probably explore
a little bit under the plate.
222
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,242
You know, it might not even be
a steel plate.
223
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:10,744
It could be a box.
224
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:15,683
That'd be something,
if he put his hands down
225
00:10:15,716 --> 00:10:17,284
along the edge
and it went down deeper
226
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:19,386
-than what he could get around
the edge of. -Exactly. Exactly.
227
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:21,021
-Yeah.
-There's something down there.
228
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:30,664
NARRATOR: Having invited
professional diver Mike Huntley
229
00:10:30,698 --> 00:10:32,265
and his crew to Oak Island,
230
00:10:32,299 --> 00:10:35,068
Rick Lagina
is hoping to find out
231
00:10:35,102 --> 00:10:37,137
the exact nature
of the obstruction
232
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:39,807
that lies at the bottom
of the exploratory drill shaft
233
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,942
known as D.M.T.
234
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,977
RICK:
We're all very interested
235
00:10:44,011 --> 00:10:46,279
in what may be down
in this hole.
236
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:48,949
You know,
steel plate at that depth?
237
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:52,019
That didn't grow
down there, so...
238
00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:54,121
steel plate would indicate
something of value
239
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:55,188
might be below it.
240
00:10:55,222 --> 00:10:57,124
DOUG:
Hey, Mike.
241
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:59,693
You gonna give us
some answers today?
242
00:10:59,727 --> 00:11:01,128
Good to see you, man.
243
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:04,197
Okay, guys, come on over.
244
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:09,002
Okay, guys, we're gonna start
with our first dive for today.
245
00:11:09,036 --> 00:11:10,704
For the most part, it's
gonna be an investigative dive
246
00:11:10,738 --> 00:11:12,105
to see what's actually there.
247
00:11:12,139 --> 00:11:14,241
It's 50 feet of water, so we got
248
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:17,010
about 75 minutes
without doing decompression.
249
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:18,712
There's no risk
of decompression illness
250
00:11:18,746 --> 00:11:20,147
or any type of embolism.
251
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,049
NARRATOR:
Although the shallow depths
252
00:11:22,082 --> 00:11:24,752
will not put Mike Huntley
and his team at risk
253
00:11:24,785 --> 00:11:26,754
of deadly
decompression sickness--
254
00:11:26,787 --> 00:11:29,489
otherwise known as the bends--
255
00:11:29,522 --> 00:11:31,491
the Oak Island team
256
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:34,094
has nevertheless arranged
for paramedics to be on site
257
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:38,365
in case of any unforeseen
accidents or emergencies.
258
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:41,034
-Let's get wet.
-Let's get wet. Awesome.
259
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:42,936
RICK:
The dive's about to begin,
260
00:11:42,970 --> 00:11:44,171
and I'm-I'm always nervous.
261
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:46,740
Every dive is dangerous,
262
00:11:46,774 --> 00:11:48,241
or potentially dangerous.
263
00:11:48,275 --> 00:11:50,377
Shallow water dives are
the most dangerous,
264
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:53,280
because you tend
to take things for granted.
265
00:11:53,313 --> 00:11:56,750
So... everyone's head
needs to stay in the game.
266
00:11:58,518 --> 00:12:01,054
I hear you loud and clear.
267
00:12:01,088 --> 00:12:02,389
Eyes and boots.
268
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:05,392
-Eyes, boots and suits.
-Eyes, boots and suits.
269
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:08,395
NARRATOR:
Throughout the dive operation,
270
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:12,099
Rick Lagina and the team
will be able to maintain
271
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:14,034
constant audio contact
with Mike,
272
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:16,203
as well as monitor
a live video feed
273
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:20,373
of his activity
in the communications trailer.
274
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:22,509
-Main air is on.
275
00:12:22,542 --> 00:12:24,978
He's good to go!
276
00:12:25,012 --> 00:12:26,113
Hey, Craig.
277
00:12:27,948 --> 00:12:29,216
Good, good.
278
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:30,383
NARRATOR:
Although Rick's brother Marty
279
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,252
is currently away on business,
280
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:35,322
their friend and partner,
Craig Tester,
281
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:37,257
is monitoring today's dive
282
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:40,027
from his office
in Traverse City, Michigan.
283
00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:42,529
We're a few minutes away from...
284
00:12:42,562 --> 00:12:44,397
getting Mike down hole.
285
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:46,867
75 minutes, bottom time.
286
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:58,278
Get him in the water!
287
00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:03,851
To ensure a safe descent down
the approximately 27 feet to
288
00:13:03,884 --> 00:13:06,820
the water in the D.M.T. shaft,
Mike Huntley will be lowered
289
00:13:06,854 --> 00:13:09,890
with a device
known as a bosun's chair.
290
00:13:09,923 --> 00:13:13,226
From there,
he will dive down some 50 feet
291
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:15,428
to investigate the obstruction
292
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:18,866
at a depth
of approximately 77 feet.
293
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:26,806
Faster. Go down faster.
294
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:38,251
MAX:
All stop.
295
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:46,259
Roger that.
296
00:13:49,229 --> 00:13:51,932
Roger. Keep his hose tight!
297
00:14:01,408 --> 00:14:03,610
NARRATOR:
Because the flocculent
298
00:14:03,643 --> 00:14:07,080
that was poured earlier
into the D.M.T. shaft
299
00:14:07,114 --> 00:14:09,416
has not been able to clear up
the large amount
300
00:14:09,449 --> 00:14:12,585
of clay sediment and silt
that still clouds the water,
301
00:14:12,619 --> 00:14:15,622
visibility is near zero.
302
00:14:21,294 --> 00:14:23,430
We've lost
all visibility, Craig.
303
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,038
Mike will now have
to try and determine the nature
304
00:14:31,071 --> 00:14:33,640
of the obstruction
with only his sense of touch.
305
00:14:37,978 --> 00:14:39,179
What did he say?
Super...?
306
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:17,550
NARRATOR:
While attempting to dive
307
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:21,254
some 77 feet deep
in the D.M.T. shaft,
308
00:15:21,288 --> 00:15:25,225
diver Mike Huntley has
encountered an unusual problem.
309
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:31,664
MAX:
Almost like spongy?
310
00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:45,712
Is there a flocculent
in there already?
311
00:15:45,745 --> 00:15:49,116
He can't...
can't stay on bottom.
312
00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:51,118
The flocc would make a slurry.
313
00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:52,986
ALEX:
Change in buoyancy?
314
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:56,056
Unfortunately, the flocculent
315
00:15:56,089 --> 00:15:58,091
that the team poured
down the D.M.T. shaft
316
00:15:58,125 --> 00:16:01,361
to aid Mike Huntley's
visibility has not only failed
317
00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:04,297
to clear up the water,
but is now causing him
318
00:16:04,331 --> 00:16:05,999
to float upward.
319
00:16:06,033 --> 00:16:07,767
The flocculent has reacted
320
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,770
with the debris at the bottom
of the D.M.T. shaft
321
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:13,306
and created a thick cloud
of a gel-like substance
322
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:17,244
that Mike is unable
to sink through.
323
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:20,180
RICK: We introduced
a lot of flocculent.
324
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:21,648
Unfortunately,
now that's counterproductive
325
00:16:21,681 --> 00:16:23,350
to what we want to do.
326
00:16:28,555 --> 00:16:30,523
RICK:
Let's see...
327
00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:33,460
let's see if he can address
this situation with weights.
328
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:35,628
He's not able
to stand on bottom.
329
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:38,565
And if he's not able
to stand on bottom,
330
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:42,035
because it is a tactile dive,
he's not gonna be able to feel
331
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:44,637
you know, what
this obstruction might be.
332
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:47,307
Okay. Roger.
Sending down the chair.
333
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,276
Craig, he's coming
out of the hole,
334
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:51,111
'cause he just can't get
to bottom.
335
00:16:51,144 --> 00:16:53,380
Up on chair, up on umbilical!
He's coming out!
336
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:54,781
Just make sure
it's going down slow
337
00:16:54,814 --> 00:16:56,749
so it doesn't hit him
on top of the head.
338
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:00,620
-Flocculent. No. -I never,
never anticipated this.
339
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,055
RICK:
Mike's been here before,
340
00:17:02,089 --> 00:17:04,357
he's invested in the process,
341
00:17:04,391 --> 00:17:06,726
he's committed,
and he wants answers.
342
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:08,328
I think we're in
343
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:11,198
an area that has significant...
344
00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:13,366
potential for discovery.
345
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:26,446
Roger.
346
00:17:26,479 --> 00:17:28,681
There you go.
347
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:31,618
Okay, I need some weight
in this thing.
348
00:17:31,651 --> 00:17:33,453
Holy .
349
00:17:33,486 --> 00:17:35,488
NARRATOR:
Mike Huntley's dive team
350
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:39,192
will now pack his dive suit
with 60 pounds of lead weights
351
00:17:39,226 --> 00:17:43,363
to ensure his ability to reach
the bottom of the D.M.T. shaft
352
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:46,699
and to identify
what the obstruction
353
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:50,503
which is preventing
further excavation actually is.
354
00:17:50,537 --> 00:17:52,505
I did a complete 360
with my feet.
355
00:17:52,539 --> 00:17:54,641
I haven't felt anything yet.
On bottom.
356
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:57,310
That's when I'm thinking,
"Where the hell is it?"
357
00:17:57,344 --> 00:17:59,212
But I can feel hard bottom,
that's the thing.
358
00:17:59,246 --> 00:18:02,182
I can feel it. Like, boom,
boom, boom, just like that.
359
00:18:02,215 --> 00:18:03,416
RICK:
I mean, there's so much
360
00:18:03,450 --> 00:18:05,585
unknown about
the Money Pit area.
361
00:18:05,618 --> 00:18:08,455
We just simply need to know,
what is this thing?
362
00:18:21,234 --> 00:18:22,669
Roger. All stop!
363
00:18:25,738 --> 00:18:27,674
Roger that.
364
00:18:29,376 --> 00:18:30,610
MAX:
Roger that.
365
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,483
MAX: Yeah, we can't see
a whole lot up here.
366
00:18:45,358 --> 00:18:46,893
TONY:
How much flocc
367
00:18:46,926 --> 00:18:49,629
-I don't know, exactly.
368
00:18:49,662 --> 00:18:51,664
But enough to grab
all the heavy stuff
369
00:18:51,698 --> 00:18:53,300
and bring it down.
370
00:18:59,539 --> 00:19:01,941
Perfect.
371
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:04,444
NARRATOR: Now that Mike
has reached the bottom,
372
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:07,480
some 77 feet deep
in the D.M.T. shaft,
373
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:10,250
he will begin
a tactile examination
374
00:19:10,283 --> 00:19:14,621
to try to determine for sure
what the obstruction is.
375
00:19:18,558 --> 00:19:20,560
You want me to get Jack?
376
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:23,630
Jack! Jack!
377
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:24,764
-They're getting him.
-Jack!
378
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:25,798
JACK:
Yeah?
379
00:19:28,868 --> 00:19:31,271
Yes!
380
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:34,641
So, are you saying that
preemptively,
381
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:36,443
you're thinking
that it's a plate?
382
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:40,447
-Oh, man!
383
00:19:43,616 --> 00:19:45,652
NARRATOR:
Could the obstruction
384
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:49,389
really be a steel plate,
as Mike Huntley suggests?
385
00:19:49,422 --> 00:19:51,658
And if so,
what is it protecting?
386
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:54,227
RICK:
When he gives an opinion
387
00:19:54,261 --> 00:19:55,928
that we are indeed
on a metal plate,
388
00:19:55,962 --> 00:19:57,864
I mean, that's-that's
an aha moment.
389
00:19:57,897 --> 00:19:59,832
Really? A metal plate
at this depth?
390
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:01,901
Again,
from a historical context,
391
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:04,271
there should not be
a metal plate there,
392
00:20:04,304 --> 00:20:06,473
as part of searcher agenda.
393
00:20:06,506 --> 00:20:10,009
So, if it's not searcher,
it's original.
394
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:12,279
How deep is it?
395
00:20:12,312 --> 00:20:15,515
How deep is the material
that we have to go through?
396
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:28,361
NARRATOR: Because of
the near zero visibility
397
00:20:28,395 --> 00:20:30,330
caused by the clay and sediment
398
00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:32,865
stirred up
in the 60-inch shaft,
399
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:35,935
Mike Huntley must rely
only on his sense of touch
400
00:20:35,968 --> 00:20:37,937
to examine
the size and orientation
401
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:39,972
of the believed plate.
402
00:20:40,006 --> 00:20:41,874
You've got ten minutes.
403
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:53,420
Is there a way
he could grab a sample?
404
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:56,356
-If he can.
405
00:20:56,389 --> 00:20:58,591
Is there any way for you
to quick get a sample?
406
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:15,007
We found something, Rick.
407
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:27,920
Roger that.
We'll get the chair sent down.
408
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:29,789
NARRATOR:
With Mike Huntley's dive time
409
00:21:29,822 --> 00:21:32,024
in the D.M.T. shaft
running out,
410
00:21:32,058 --> 00:21:33,860
it is the team's hope that,
411
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:35,728
by collecting samples
from the bottom
412
00:21:35,762 --> 00:21:38,498
some 77 feet below ground,
413
00:21:38,531 --> 00:21:41,801
Mike will obtain proof
of a believed steel plate
414
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:45,738
and perhaps whatever it might
have been put there to protect.
415
00:21:47,874 --> 00:21:50,042
MIKE: That was one of the more
frustrating dives I've done.
416
00:21:50,076 --> 00:21:52,612
-Yeah.
-I don't know what's there.
417
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,648
-I stuck that knife
418
00:21:55,682 --> 00:21:58,751
one to 12 o'clock,
center to the edge.
419
00:21:58,785 --> 00:22:00,820
In some spots,
I thought I hit a plate.
420
00:22:00,853 --> 00:22:04,090
And the more I hit it,
it was hard.
421
00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:06,826
RICK: When you're in the moment,
especially on
422
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:09,095
a tactile dive,
where you can't see anything,
423
00:22:09,128 --> 00:22:11,964
you're groping about,
he comes to surface
424
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:14,967
and he says, "You're
certainly on something."
425
00:22:15,001 --> 00:22:18,070
We need to go look
at those sample bags.
426
00:22:18,104 --> 00:22:20,740
MIKE:
This is what I found.
427
00:22:20,773 --> 00:22:25,111
I thought I had a hard bottom,
and I could find not a thing.
428
00:22:25,144 --> 00:22:27,980
And the chisel
has hardened alloy steel on it,
429
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:30,016
-and it broke it apart.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
430
00:22:30,049 --> 00:22:34,987
To do that, Mike, you're into
something very, very hard.
431
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:36,789
-What you have in that bag, no.
-Wouldn't do it.
432
00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:38,124
-No. No.
-Yeah. No, totally.
433
00:22:38,157 --> 00:22:39,826
RICK:
I think we go back down
434
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:41,761
and see-see what we find.
435
00:22:41,794 --> 00:22:43,630
Okay. Yeah.
436
00:22:43,663 --> 00:22:46,065
NARRATOR:
Because Mike has reached
437
00:22:46,098 --> 00:22:49,068
his dive time safety limit
for the day,
438
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:53,573
backup diver Nick Perry will
now descend the D.M.T. shaft.
439
00:22:53,606 --> 00:22:57,544
He will also be equipped with
a pinpointing metal detector
440
00:22:57,577 --> 00:22:59,979
to determine whether or not
the obstruction is metal,
441
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:02,549
and, if possible, remove it.
442
00:23:06,185 --> 00:23:07,854
All stop!
443
00:23:13,159 --> 00:23:15,595
Roger that, Nick. You can
stand on bottom, correct?
444
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:21,834
How's it going down there?
445
00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:28,475
MIKE: See if you can dig down
with your knife
446
00:23:28,508 --> 00:23:30,477
or even your hand
and see if you can find it.
447
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:40,186
Just turn your pinpointer on
and, uh,
448
00:23:40,219 --> 00:23:41,988
metal-detect
the whole hard area.
449
00:23:53,866 --> 00:23:55,868
Peel your glove off, um,
450
00:23:55,902 --> 00:23:58,605
and get a really good,
smooth feel with your hand.
451
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:11,951
Which doesn't make sense,
because why wouldn't
452
00:24:11,984 --> 00:24:14,153
the oscillator
chew through rock?
453
00:24:14,186 --> 00:24:15,922
Mm.
454
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:17,924
Uh, some of
the little stone chips,
455
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:19,992
they might be
in the near vicinity.
456
00:24:20,026 --> 00:24:21,928
Just chuck 'em in your glove
and bring 'em up, just to...
457
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,696
It might be something
of interest.
458
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:28,801
RICK:
Nick has
459
00:24:28,835 --> 00:24:32,171
felt the rock
underneath the can.
460
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,908
Roger that.
461
00:24:35,942 --> 00:24:37,844
RICK:
And I think we've excluded
462
00:24:37,877 --> 00:24:39,846
the possibility
that it's steel.
463
00:24:39,879 --> 00:24:43,750
So, what do we do?
How do we proceed?
464
00:24:43,783 --> 00:24:45,885
I'm dismayed.
465
00:24:45,918 --> 00:24:48,955
NARRATOR: Because the massive
steel caisson was designed
466
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:51,257
to drill through
just about anything,
467
00:24:51,290 --> 00:24:53,926
the fact that it couldn't
cut through a granite rock
468
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,028
is deeply confusing.
469
00:24:56,062 --> 00:24:59,065
There is definitely a granite
rock there, 'cause I felt it.
470
00:24:59,098 --> 00:25:01,934
Took the glove off.
You could feel the round edge.
471
00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:04,203
-Rubbed it.
-That's granite.
472
00:25:04,236 --> 00:25:07,206
Well, if it's a hard granite,
473
00:25:07,239 --> 00:25:10,910
there's some granite
that's as hard as steel.
474
00:25:10,943 --> 00:25:14,180
Both Nick and Mike,
uh, to their credit,
475
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:18,618
have stated forthrightly what
they have observed and/or felt,
476
00:25:18,651 --> 00:25:20,653
and they believe it
to be a-a boulder.
477
00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,822
And I think there was hope
all around
478
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:26,593
that this really was a find.
479
00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:29,662
But it's not,
and-and thus we move on.
480
00:25:36,168 --> 00:25:38,671
NARRATOR:
The following day,
481
00:25:38,705 --> 00:25:42,008
Rick Lagina and members
of the Oak Island team
482
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,910
meet with the crew
from Irving Equipment, Limited,
483
00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:45,845
at the Money Pit site.
484
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:48,948
Because the 60-inch-wide
drilling caisson
485
00:25:48,981 --> 00:25:50,950
cannot break through
the granite obstruction
486
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:53,319
at the bottom
of the D.M.T. shaft,
487
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:56,589
they must accept
a bitter reality:
488
00:25:56,623 --> 00:25:58,925
that further drilling
is out of the question,
489
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:01,093
at least for now.
490
00:26:01,127 --> 00:26:04,296
They have run out of time
and are dangerously low
491
00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:07,366
on the money they budgeted
for this year.
492
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:10,336
RICK: Look, it's a-a little
different feel right now
493
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:13,806
than when we saw you guys come
across the causeway, you know?
494
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,142
But-but I will say this:
it's been a pleasure
495
00:26:16,175 --> 00:26:18,210
working with Irving Group
and with ROC.
496
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:21,814
It's been fantastic.
Uh, and, you know, you...
497
00:26:21,848 --> 00:26:24,350
we don't walk away
with our heads hanging low.
498
00:26:24,383 --> 00:26:26,318
I mean, there's-there's
something down there.
499
00:26:26,352 --> 00:26:27,920
I really appreciate
being part of it
500
00:26:27,954 --> 00:26:29,789
and hopefully we continue
to be part of it
501
00:26:29,822 --> 00:26:31,357
and get to the bottom
of that hole.
502
00:26:31,390 --> 00:26:33,726
I don't like to make promises
on Oak Island,
503
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,796
but we have every expectation
to see you guys back here.
504
00:26:36,829 --> 00:26:39,031
We'll get to the bottom
of this thing.
505
00:26:39,065 --> 00:26:42,001
It's not "good-bye."
It's "we'll see you soon."
506
00:26:42,034 --> 00:26:44,036
To that end, we're not done.
507
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:46,005
Scott, thank you.
508
00:26:46,038 --> 00:26:49,676
We've decided
to let Irving and ROC go.
509
00:26:49,709 --> 00:26:51,811
The bitter part of it,
of course,
510
00:26:51,844 --> 00:26:55,314
is that we didn't find
what we had hoped we would find,
511
00:26:55,347 --> 00:27:00,419
some substantial one thing
in H-8
512
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:04,323
and locating the vault
in the second hole of D.M.T.
513
00:27:04,356 --> 00:27:07,326
But we vigorously investigated
514
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,997
the supposed area
of the Money Pit.
515
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:13,399
We've got two cans--
large diameter cans--
516
00:27:13,432 --> 00:27:16,435
that have
their structural integrity
517
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:20,006
and that we can possibly use
for further exploration.
518
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:22,775
So, we have moved the dial
on Oak Island.
519
00:27:22,809 --> 00:27:25,011
Unfortunately, it still is...
520
00:27:25,044 --> 00:27:28,280
it's still an island of
what ifs and possibilities.
521
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:31,450
NARRATOR: After a summer
that saw the discovery
522
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:35,054
of everything from
17th century human bones
523
00:27:35,087 --> 00:27:37,690
to antique jewelry
524
00:27:37,724 --> 00:27:39,992
and a cross
that could date back
525
00:27:40,026 --> 00:27:42,128
to the days
of the Knights Templar,
526
00:27:42,161 --> 00:27:45,798
Rick, Marty, and their team
may be closer than ever
527
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:48,968
to solving the mystery
of Oak Island.
528
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:53,405
But now, having invested
another hard year
529
00:27:53,439 --> 00:27:55,207
and millions of dollars,
530
00:27:55,241 --> 00:27:58,077
the time has arrived
for a critical decision.
531
00:27:58,110 --> 00:27:59,846
Should they continue?
532
00:27:59,879 --> 00:28:02,915
And if so, how?
533
00:28:07,386 --> 00:28:08,888
NARRATOR: One day after making
the difficult decision
534
00:28:08,921 --> 00:28:10,823
to end this year's
search operations
535
00:28:10,857 --> 00:28:12,224
at the Money Pit site...
536
00:28:12,258 --> 00:28:14,293
-Charles. Wow.
-Hi, guys.
537
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:17,063
-That's quite a jigsaw puzzle.
-Yeah.
538
00:28:17,096 --> 00:28:19,298
...brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina
539
00:28:19,331 --> 00:28:21,934
and other members
of the Oak Island team
540
00:28:21,968 --> 00:28:24,170
meet in the war room
for what is likely to be
541
00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:26,773
their final time this year.
542
00:28:26,806 --> 00:28:30,376
Before we begin, I'd like
to get Craig up on the phone.
543
00:28:31,944 --> 00:28:33,379
Looks like we got Craig.
Hey, Craig.
544
00:28:33,412 --> 00:28:35,247
-Hey, Craig! -Hey!
545
00:28:35,281 --> 00:28:39,318
Craig, we're looking at
a display of the year's finds.
546
00:28:39,351 --> 00:28:42,088
We certainly have a mosaic here,
547
00:28:42,121 --> 00:28:45,324
and we have yet
to put it together.
548
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:47,794
There's a lot of puzzle pieces.
549
00:28:47,827 --> 00:28:49,929
Mom would tell us
550
00:28:49,962 --> 00:28:52,431
get your straight edges here,
put your corner pieces there,
551
00:28:52,464 --> 00:28:54,100
-put your colored pieces here,
-Yeah.
552
00:28:54,133 --> 00:28:56,068
put the blue pieces here.
553
00:28:56,102 --> 00:28:58,470
And that's what we've got
laid out before us.
554
00:28:58,504 --> 00:29:01,173
And we have yet
to figure it out.
555
00:29:01,207 --> 00:29:02,942
-I don't know.
556
00:29:02,975 --> 00:29:05,144
I mean, I'd open it up
for a open table discussion.
557
00:29:05,177 --> 00:29:07,446
-Yep.
-Yeah.
558
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:10,382
And then, you know, after
everyone's had their input,
559
00:29:10,416 --> 00:29:12,351
uh, there's but one thing
to ask,
560
00:29:12,384 --> 00:29:14,453
and that is:
where do we go from here?
561
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:16,188
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
562
00:29:16,222 --> 00:29:18,490
Whatever conclusion you come to
563
00:29:18,524 --> 00:29:20,359
is gonna have to be
predicated on...
564
00:29:20,392 --> 00:29:23,062
-How much money we've got.
-Well, sure.
565
00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:25,397
-I agree there. -DAVE:
There's a lot of stuff here
566
00:29:25,431 --> 00:29:27,233
that cost a lot of money
to find.
567
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:29,201
We are not getting
our money back.
568
00:29:29,235 --> 00:29:31,503
We still need more.
Give us your opinion.
569
00:29:31,537 --> 00:29:33,405
And it doesn't work for us
on Oak Island.
570
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,975
Yeah, but-but wait a minute.
There is a certain weariness
571
00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:38,044
right now
at the end of all this.
572
00:29:38,077 --> 00:29:40,312
There's a certain excitement,
but there's a certain weariness.
573
00:29:40,346 --> 00:29:44,216
So I think a good starting point
would be to make sure
574
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:46,552
we all understand
what's on the table here.
575
00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:49,922
I mean, there's a lot of stuff.
So why don't you start, Gary?
576
00:29:49,956 --> 00:29:52,458
Discuss what you consider the
highlights of what you found.
577
00:29:52,491 --> 00:29:58,430
This crucifix cross, to me,
is the find of the season.
578
00:29:58,464 --> 00:30:01,567
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!
579
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,069
Holy...
580
00:30:03,102 --> 00:30:05,537
Holy schmoly, all right.
581
00:30:05,571 --> 00:30:07,539
-It's a cross.
-Oh, my gosh.
582
00:30:07,573 --> 00:30:10,943
I mean,
that is an old, old cross.
583
00:30:10,977 --> 00:30:14,113
That is really, really old,
584
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,248
and that came
from somewhere else.
585
00:30:16,282 --> 00:30:18,885
What did your analysis
come up with?
586
00:30:18,918 --> 00:30:20,987
13th century or older, Dan,
587
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:22,321
-is what people are saying.
-Yeah.
588
00:30:22,354 --> 00:30:25,391
Yeah, because this cross
is the type of thing
589
00:30:25,424 --> 00:30:30,897
that's carved into prison walls
and church walls in Europe.
590
00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:34,500
Is this solely
a Templar construct?
591
00:30:34,533 --> 00:30:39,872
It is closely associated
with the crusading orders.
592
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,943
There's a carving in France
593
00:30:43,976 --> 00:30:47,546
in a prison tower
where up to 70 Templar knights
594
00:30:47,579 --> 00:30:51,083
were imprisoned after
they were rounded up in 1307.
595
00:30:51,117 --> 00:30:53,385
1307. That's the tail end
of 'em.
596
00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:55,287
Look at the legs, the head.
597
00:30:55,321 --> 00:30:57,423
Everything's really similar.
598
00:30:57,456 --> 00:31:00,292
RICK:
I think the cross is
599
00:31:00,326 --> 00:31:02,061
a uniquely singular item
600
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:04,630
-worthy of far more research.
-Absolutely.
601
00:31:04,663 --> 00:31:07,399
So, Charles, what do you think's
most significant on this table?
602
00:31:07,433 --> 00:31:10,069
I think another one of the,
you know, significant finds,
603
00:31:10,102 --> 00:31:13,105
you know, is-is the human bones
out of H-8.
604
00:31:13,139 --> 00:31:15,474
To me, the Money Pit
with the human bones,
605
00:31:15,507 --> 00:31:17,609
that's... you know, it's huge.
606
00:31:17,643 --> 00:31:21,113
To the limits of science, we
know that two people's remains
607
00:31:21,147 --> 00:31:23,515
-are in the Money Pit.
-Yeah.
608
00:31:23,549 --> 00:31:27,153
We have two samples,
uh, both human,
609
00:31:27,186 --> 00:31:30,522
and, uh, it's definitely
two different humans.
610
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:33,359
We've got Western European
and East Asian.
611
00:31:33,392 --> 00:31:36,362
In carbon dating, 1600s.
612
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:41,100
Human bones from 162 feet,
below searcher depth.
613
00:31:41,133 --> 00:31:44,170
That's a hell of a depth
to be burying somebody.
614
00:31:44,203 --> 00:31:46,538
-Yeah.
-They take on significance
615
00:31:46,572 --> 00:31:48,307
if they're below six feet.
616
00:31:50,676 --> 00:31:52,678
I agree.
617
00:31:52,711 --> 00:31:55,347
DOUG: What I find exciting
is that piece of parchment
618
00:31:55,381 --> 00:31:59,551
that you found this year in H-8
619
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,654
that corroborates
what William Chappell found
620
00:32:02,688 --> 00:32:05,424
in his drilling in 1897.
621
00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:07,493
You know, you verify
what they found 120 years ago.
622
00:32:07,526 --> 00:32:09,461
You've been able to bring
a piece of a document
623
00:32:09,495 --> 00:32:10,496
up out of the ground.
624
00:32:10,529 --> 00:32:13,165
You know, finding that myself,
625
00:32:13,199 --> 00:32:15,434
I am a hundred percent positive
626
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:19,505
that there's something very
valuable in the Money Pit area.
627
00:32:19,538 --> 00:32:23,109
RICK: I have always said
that what's here
628
00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:27,013
may be "treasure," there may be
manuscripts or books,
629
00:32:27,046 --> 00:32:29,281
ancient knowledge,
something, something that is
630
00:32:29,315 --> 00:32:31,417
far more valuable
than temporal wealth,
631
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:36,322
and this substantiates
that belief.
632
00:32:36,355 --> 00:32:39,325
GARY: And there's a couple of
finds we're forgetting about:
633
00:32:39,358 --> 00:32:43,229
those two coins here
have got 1600 dates on them.
634
00:32:43,262 --> 00:32:46,298
One's 1673, was it?
635
00:32:46,332 --> 00:32:49,568
And the other's in the 1690s.
636
00:32:49,601 --> 00:32:51,037
When was the Money Pit
discovered?
637
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:53,439
-1795.
-1795.
638
00:32:53,472 --> 00:32:56,142
-Right.
-MARTY: That had to be deposited
639
00:32:56,175 --> 00:32:58,010
well before the discovery
of the Money Pit,
640
00:32:58,044 --> 00:33:00,579
-a hundred years before.
-Yeah.
641
00:33:00,612 --> 00:33:01,747
LAIRD:
There's certainly a suggestion
642
00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:03,582
of an earlier occupation.
643
00:33:03,615 --> 00:33:05,184
Pre-Money Pit.
644
00:33:05,217 --> 00:33:07,019
-Yep.
-Wow.
645
00:33:10,656 --> 00:33:13,092
-And did you see the brooch,
the pendant? -I did, yes. Yeah.
646
00:33:13,125 --> 00:33:14,760
-It's-it's so, uh,
647
00:33:14,793 --> 00:33:16,428
it's so interesting.
648
00:33:16,462 --> 00:33:18,330
It's obviously handmade.
649
00:33:18,364 --> 00:33:20,232
It's kind of asymmetrical, too.
650
00:33:20,266 --> 00:33:22,734
DAVE: You said Gary,
that that was all hand-cut;
651
00:33:22,768 --> 00:33:24,370
-that's not machined.
-Yeah.
652
00:33:24,403 --> 00:33:26,272
I remember when I first
picked it up,
653
00:33:26,305 --> 00:33:29,775
and you turned it over, Rick,
you saw all the facets.
654
00:33:29,808 --> 00:33:32,811
I thought this was glass.
It apparently is not glass.
655
00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:36,348
It is a rhodolite garnet,
a semiprecious stone.
656
00:33:36,382 --> 00:33:39,385
This is about what you picture
when you open a treasure chest.
657
00:33:39,418 --> 00:33:42,754
-Mm-hmm. -The lock plate
came from not far off
658
00:33:42,788 --> 00:33:45,357
where the jewel,
the brooch was found.
659
00:33:45,391 --> 00:33:47,426
-MARTY: A key lock cover.
-GARY: Yeah.
660
00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:50,229
I mean, I-I know I'm playing
junior archeologist here,
661
00:33:50,262 --> 00:33:52,398
but I can't help
but draw the conclusion.
662
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,569
RICK: Dan, you brought
this collective,
663
00:33:57,603 --> 00:33:59,405
if you will, together.
664
00:33:59,438 --> 00:34:01,240
What do you think?
665
00:34:01,273 --> 00:34:02,541
I don't know.
666
00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:07,146
Far as I'm concerned,
everything you got
667
00:34:07,179 --> 00:34:09,548
on the table
doesn't prove or disprove
668
00:34:09,581 --> 00:34:11,383
whether there's treasure
on Oak Island.
669
00:34:11,417 --> 00:34:15,387
I would say probably
75%, 80% of that
670
00:34:15,421 --> 00:34:17,556
is all from the surface.
671
00:34:17,589 --> 00:34:21,393
All that your surface finds
are doing
672
00:34:21,427 --> 00:34:24,163
is giving you a known, anyway.
673
00:34:24,196 --> 00:34:26,798
At sometime or another,
674
00:34:26,832 --> 00:34:30,569
someone has spent a lot of time
on the surface of Oak Island.
675
00:34:30,602 --> 00:34:34,673
It's very graphic as far as
looking at it is concerned,
676
00:34:34,706 --> 00:34:37,243
but, I mean, in the same token,
677
00:34:37,276 --> 00:34:39,745
it's time consuming
and expensive.
678
00:34:39,778 --> 00:34:42,814
That's no BS.
That's fact.
679
00:34:42,848 --> 00:34:45,151
MARTY:
Dan, let me ask you a question.
680
00:34:45,184 --> 00:34:47,719
Should we keep going?
681
00:34:54,493 --> 00:34:57,829
MARTY: Hey, Dan, let me ask you
a really tough question.
682
00:34:57,863 --> 00:35:00,132
You want us to quit?
683
00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:03,435
That's a hard question, Marty.
It really is.
684
00:35:03,469 --> 00:35:05,704
It's a deep question
and it's hard.
685
00:35:05,737 --> 00:35:08,474
NARRATOR: The Oak Island team
has gathered in the war room
686
00:35:08,507 --> 00:35:11,877
for what could be their most
important decision to date:
687
00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:14,580
whether to continue forward,
688
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:18,484
or put their entire operation
on hold indefinitely.
689
00:35:18,517 --> 00:35:20,386
Dan, you have any thoughts?
690
00:35:20,419 --> 00:35:23,822
How deep is your pockets?
691
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:29,195
It boils down to whether
it's worth it.
692
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:31,630
That's the key question though,
Dan. How do you evaluate that?
693
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:34,233
Whether it's worth it.
How do you evaluate that?
694
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:37,135
What should affect it is...
695
00:35:39,738 --> 00:35:42,374
...the hard evidence
that has come out
696
00:35:42,408 --> 00:35:45,311
is substantiating
up to a certain extent,
697
00:35:45,344 --> 00:35:47,346
but I don't think you should put
698
00:35:47,379 --> 00:35:50,882
too much undue influence
on this here.
699
00:35:50,916 --> 00:35:53,185
DAVE: Question, Marty:
why are we grouping
700
00:35:53,219 --> 00:35:55,554
all the coins together
with the, with the jewel now?
701
00:35:57,789 --> 00:36:01,227
Well, if you opened a little box
and you found that,
702
00:36:01,260 --> 00:36:04,263
you might say you found a bit
703
00:36:06,265 --> 00:36:08,667
It kind of looks like a regular
mini treasure chest, doesn't it?
704
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,469
GARY:
Yup.
705
00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:13,239
MARTY: Well, I will say this
from my own standpoint.
706
00:36:13,272 --> 00:36:14,840
I entered
this whole quest thinking
707
00:36:14,873 --> 00:36:18,210
that maybe nothing
of any consequence
708
00:36:18,244 --> 00:36:21,213
really happened on this island
prior to 1790.
709
00:36:21,247 --> 00:36:23,949
But as this year
draws to a close,
710
00:36:23,982 --> 00:36:28,520
I have to say
I don't believe that anymore.
711
00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:31,490
-There's too much here.
-Yep. -Yeah.
712
00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:35,827
I now believe something
did happen here prior to 1790.
713
00:36:35,861 --> 00:36:37,996
-Well, there you go. -DAVE:
It's quite obvious, Marty.
714
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:39,498
That's getting somewhere.
715
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:43,835
-You've come a long way.
-I have. I have.
716
00:36:45,904 --> 00:36:47,539
We can't stop now.
I mean, look what we've found
717
00:36:47,573 --> 00:36:49,975
-so far this year.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
718
00:36:50,008 --> 00:36:53,379
Okay, I know
what you want to do.
719
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:57,649
Oh, yeah. I know where
I want to be next year.
720
00:36:57,683 --> 00:36:59,785
I'm like a kid in a candy store.
I really am.
721
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:01,653
-I think you've got some of
722
00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:03,889
the most convincing evidence
in the last 120 years.
723
00:37:03,922 --> 00:37:06,725
All's I can tell you is,
if you continue,
724
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:08,494
I'm here to support you
in any way I can.
725
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:10,829
Well, Charles?
726
00:37:10,862 --> 00:37:12,831
Let's put it this way:
I don't want you to quit.
727
00:37:12,864 --> 00:37:14,900
Okay. All right. Fair enough.
728
00:37:14,933 --> 00:37:16,902
Hey, Laird, I'd love to hear
what you have to say.
729
00:37:16,935 --> 00:37:19,538
Well, the archaeologist,
we need, we need this stuff.
730
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:21,640
We need the hard evidence.
731
00:37:21,673 --> 00:37:23,542
Is your excitement level
higher though? Are you...
732
00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:25,644
Oh, yeah. No, absolutely.
733
00:37:25,677 --> 00:37:27,279
Well, Dan what do you think?
734
00:37:27,313 --> 00:37:29,448
First thought I have
735
00:37:29,481 --> 00:37:32,318
is that you're pretty close
to the right location.
736
00:37:32,351 --> 00:37:33,752
You wouldn't quit though,
would you?
737
00:37:33,785 --> 00:37:35,287
Can't say I wouldn't.
738
00:37:35,321 --> 00:37:37,823
Just that, uh,
I wouldn't want to.
739
00:37:37,856 --> 00:37:40,292
All right, Dan.
Let's ask Craig.
740
00:37:40,326 --> 00:37:42,328
You've been listening
to all this.
741
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:43,962
CRAIG: Well, the evidence
this year, Marty,
742
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:45,697
you know,
we didn't find the treasure,
743
00:37:45,731 --> 00:37:48,066
but I think we had
a fantastic year.
744
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:49,701
-Yes.
-We got a number
745
00:37:49,735 --> 00:37:51,870
of major things out
in Smith's Cove.
746
00:37:51,903 --> 00:37:54,039
The U-shaped structure.
747
00:37:54,072 --> 00:37:57,042
And could there be more things
like the lead cross,
748
00:37:57,075 --> 00:37:59,044
that could tell us who did it?
749
00:37:59,077 --> 00:38:00,946
Um, yeah, definitely.
750
00:38:00,979 --> 00:38:03,915
-Jack, I think it's your turn.
-Yep.
751
00:38:03,949 --> 00:38:09,655
I-I think that we still have
a lot of exploring left to do,
752
00:38:09,688 --> 00:38:11,857
and this year proved it.
753
00:38:11,890 --> 00:38:14,493
MARTY:
What say you, number one son?
754
00:38:14,526 --> 00:38:16,895
Year one,
I was kind of thinking,
755
00:38:16,928 --> 00:38:18,830
"Come on, what are we really
gonna find?"
756
00:38:18,864 --> 00:38:20,499
This-this year, I'm thinking,
757
00:38:20,532 --> 00:38:21,900
"Okay, there's a lot more
to be found."
758
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:23,869
-We moved you a long way.
-Oh, yeah.
759
00:38:23,902 --> 00:38:26,004
You always thought
when I told you the story,
760
00:38:26,037 --> 00:38:28,106
you always thought, "Oh,
there goes Uncle Rick on again."
761
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:29,775
-Yeah.
-I did. I did.
762
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:34,413
I won't lie.
I did think that.
763
00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:36,014
-RICK: Mm-hmm.
-I don't think it anymore.
764
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:38,817
The preponderance
of evidence here,
765
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:41,920
I-I wouldn't drill this up
and then stop.
766
00:38:41,953 --> 00:38:43,889
That's my opinion.
767
00:38:43,922 --> 00:38:46,057
Depending upon how old you are.
768
00:38:46,091 --> 00:38:49,495
I came here over 50 years ago,
769
00:38:49,528 --> 00:38:52,931
and what attracted me
to Oak Island was the mystery.
770
00:38:52,964 --> 00:38:56,101
-That's what attracted me.
-Okay.
771
00:38:56,134 --> 00:38:58,504
Do you feel there's still
a mystery to solve here?
772
00:38:58,537 --> 00:39:01,072
Well, the answer to that
would have to be yes.
773
00:39:01,106 --> 00:39:05,477
Amen. And with that, I will see
what fearless leader says.
774
00:39:05,511 --> 00:39:07,779
What do you want to do?
775
00:39:07,813 --> 00:39:10,616
I-I think what we need to do,
given the amount
776
00:39:10,649 --> 00:39:13,752
of significant material there,
I'm gonna fall back
777
00:39:13,785 --> 00:39:17,589
on what Dan suggested to us
last year: take a step back.
778
00:39:17,623 --> 00:39:21,727
Try to, uh, ascertain
what all of this may mean.
779
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,097
And, uh, for me, this puzzle is:
780
00:39:26,131 --> 00:39:28,934
who, what, when, where,
why and how.
781
00:39:28,967 --> 00:39:34,406
And this year in particular,
this little piece of parchment
782
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,476
might be the "what."
783
00:39:37,509 --> 00:39:40,746
And this little item right here,
784
00:39:40,779 --> 00:39:44,683
this might be a clue
to lead us to "who."
785
00:39:44,716 --> 00:39:48,186
And the rest will fall into
place, but we have to follow.
786
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:51,623
We speak a lot
about family here,
787
00:39:51,657 --> 00:39:53,692
and for Marty and I,
we always round back
788
00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:56,027
-to Mom and Dad.
-Yeah.
789
00:39:56,061 --> 00:39:58,129
So Mom would say, you know,
790
00:39:58,163 --> 00:40:00,632
"Sempre avanti,
always forward.
791
00:40:00,666 --> 00:40:02,868
Get the puzzle together."
792
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:05,871
But, for me, the only way to
really put this thing together
793
00:40:05,904 --> 00:40:08,574
is for us to do it together.
794
00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:10,809
One in, all in,
once in, forever in.
795
00:40:10,842 --> 00:40:12,043
-Oh, yeah.
-Absolutely.
796
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:13,779
-Yeah, definitely.
-Yeah.
797
00:40:13,812 --> 00:40:15,180
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
798
00:40:15,213 --> 00:40:18,584
So, I say we celebrate.
799
00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:20,652
-I say we declare victory.
-It's crown time.
800
00:40:20,686 --> 00:40:21,720
It's crown time!
801
00:40:21,753 --> 00:40:25,824
I say... to the fellowship.
802
00:40:25,857 --> 00:40:27,726
-To the fellowship of the dig.
-All right.
803
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,868
NARRATOR: As another exciting
and emotional year
804
00:40:36,902 --> 00:40:38,904
on Oak Island
comes to an end...
805
00:40:38,937 --> 00:40:40,539
Well, guys, it's been
a good year, Dave.
806
00:40:40,572 --> 00:40:41,873
-Well, take care.
-Thanks a lot.
807
00:40:41,907 --> 00:40:43,842
-Dude. -Rick, yeah.
-We'll see you.
808
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,611
...brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina
809
00:40:45,644 --> 00:40:48,046
leave the island
with no regrets.
810
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:50,716
-You've turned into
a regular man hugger. -Yeah.
811
00:40:50,749 --> 00:40:52,150
-Rick.
-Hey.
812
00:40:52,183 --> 00:40:54,252
NARRATOR:
Although they have, so far,
813
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:57,523
not found anything resembling
a fabled golden treasure...
814
00:40:57,556 --> 00:40:59,257
I'm gonna miss you, Charles.
815
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:01,159
-Miss you, too, buddy.
-Dan.
816
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:02,961
...they have uncovered evidence
817
00:41:02,994 --> 00:41:04,863
that could be
of even greater value...
818
00:41:04,896 --> 00:41:06,498
See you, Laird.
819
00:41:06,532 --> 00:41:08,133
...evidence that could change
820
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:10,068
not only the history
of North America,
821
00:41:10,101 --> 00:41:12,237
but the world.
822
00:41:12,270 --> 00:41:14,773
See you all, guys.
823
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:17,609
RICK:
We certainly made progress
824
00:41:17,643 --> 00:41:20,946
and I think that, you know,
we certainly have a...
825
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:23,849
a substantial amount
of puzzle pieces.
826
00:41:23,882 --> 00:41:27,519
And now it's getting time
827
00:41:27,553 --> 00:41:29,821
where we start putting
some of these pieces together.
828
00:41:29,855 --> 00:41:31,923
We need connective tissue.
829
00:41:31,957 --> 00:41:35,060
MARTY:
To some extent,
830
00:41:35,093 --> 00:41:37,062
it's like
a love-hate relationship.
831
00:41:37,095 --> 00:41:38,930
This island is-- can be brutal.
832
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:44,703
And it can be rewarding,
and it's beautiful...
833
00:41:44,736 --> 00:41:48,907
but it's mystical...
834
00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:53,712
and it's all those things,
but it's time to take a break.
835
00:41:53,745 --> 00:41:56,848
The search goes home
for a while.
836
00:41:56,882 --> 00:41:58,850
-For now.
-Yeah.
