-CHARLES: Here it comes.
-RICK: The Garden Shaft project
3
00:00:06,042 --> 00:00:07,042
is finally underway.

I'll tell you, Jack,
8
00:00:15,542 --> 00:00:17,000
it's the first time
in 40 years of fieldwork
9
00:00:17,083 --> 00:00:18,250
I have seen something
like this...
10
00:00:18,417 --> 00:00:19,583
buried.
11
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:21,042
They're hiding something.
12
00:00:21,208 --> 00:00:23,125
Ooh, interesting.
13
00:00:26,833 --> 00:00:28,000
Brilliant.

00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,417
NARRATOR:
There is an island
in the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,542 --> 00:00:37,000
where people
have been looking for
16
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:41,000
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,042
So far, they have found
a stone slab
18
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,250
with strange symbols
carved into it...
19
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:50,417
...man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
20
00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross
whose origin may be connected
21
00:00:55,125 --> 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 --> 00:01:01,833
trying to solve the mystery.
24
00:01:01,958 --> 00:01:07,000
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
25
00:01:07,208 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.

-Yep.
-We've moved east
29
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:29,625
of where we last
hit the tunnel,
30
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:30,833
hoping to intercept it again.
31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,167

NARRATOR:
Another exciting morning
33
00:01:34,208 --> 00:01:36,333
has begun on Oak Island
34
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,125
for brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina
35
00:01:39,292 --> 00:01:41,792
and their team
as they continue their quest
36
00:01:41,958 --> 00:01:43,292
to solve a mystery
37
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,000
that has captivated
treasure hunters
38
00:01:45,167 --> 00:01:47,417
for more than two centuries.
39
00:01:47,583 --> 00:01:51,375
This is an attempt to hit
the furthest east extension
40
00:01:51,542 --> 00:01:53,500
of our tunnel,
which in this area
41
00:01:53,625 --> 00:01:55,000
will hit it at
over a hundred feet.
42
00:01:55,208 --> 00:01:57,167
-Yep.
-ALEX: The tunnel that
43
00:01:57,292 --> 00:01:58,500
we are following today
44
00:01:58,625 --> 00:02:00,167
that emanates
from the Garden Shaft,
45
00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:02,417
it could be a conduit
through which the water
46
00:02:02,542 --> 00:02:04,167
with the high metal
concentration is flowing,
47
00:02:04,375 --> 00:02:05,292
bringing it to the Baby Blob.
48
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:07,000
That's a very good point.
49
00:02:07,208 --> 00:02:09,583
NARRATOR:
Today, the team is drilling
50
00:02:09,792 --> 00:02:11,542
a new borehole
on their strategic grid
51
00:02:11,708 --> 00:02:14,500
known as D5N-27,
52
00:02:14,708 --> 00:02:19,000
located several feet east
of the 82-foot-deep,
53
00:02:19,167 --> 00:02:20,917
mid-18th-century structure
54
00:02:21,042 --> 00:02:22,667
known as the Garden Shaft.
55
00:02:22,833 --> 00:02:26,333
Here, they are hoping
to once again encounter
56
00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:29,375
a mysterious seven-and-a-half-
foot-high tunnel
57
00:02:29,542 --> 00:02:32,167
located some
100 feet underground,
58
00:02:32,375 --> 00:02:34,500
which they have
previously drilled into
59
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:37,333
numerous times
over the past year.
60
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:41,125
A tunnel which has yielded
high trace evidence of gold,
61
00:02:41,292 --> 00:02:43,625
and which runs
westward directly below
62
00:02:43,792 --> 00:02:45,167
the Garden Shaft and into
63
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:46,833
another possible treasure zone
64
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:50,208
known as "The Baby Blob."
65
00:02:51,167 --> 00:02:53,667
-53.
-TERRY: 53? A broken run. Okay.
66
00:02:53,833 --> 00:02:55,458
STEVE:
Let's pull it down
and I'll drain it.
67

TERRY: Hi, guys.
How are you doing?
70
00:03:01,875 --> 00:03:03,667
Good. What are you finding?
71
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:05,125
Well, it's...
72
00:03:05,292 --> 00:03:06,917
We're down 53 feet,
73
00:03:07,042 --> 00:03:08,375
and as you can see,
74
00:03:08,542 --> 00:03:10,792
-it's relatively soft.
-CRAIG: Soft? Okay.
75
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:13,542
TERRY:
It's always been an omen
76
00:03:13,708 --> 00:03:16,083
that we're fairly close
to a structure
77
00:03:16,292 --> 00:03:17,500
when you hit
soft material like this.
78
00:03:17,625 --> 00:03:19,667
We're definitely
close to a tunnel.
79
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:22,000
Well, I mean,
it's going to be a little bit
80
00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:24,167
before you guys get down
to the 100-foot level.
81
00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:26,458
So, we're gonna go run
and do some stuff.
82
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:27,833
-Okay.
-But if you get wood...
83
00:03:28,042 --> 00:03:29,000
-Yep.
-...or anything else,
84
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:30,833
-give us a call.
-Yep, will do.
85
00:03:31,042 --> 00:03:32,500
STEVE:
See you, guys.
86
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:35,042
This is gonna be
the time we find something.

As the core-drilling operation
88
00:03:37,208 --> 00:03:39,250

-RICK: Hey, guys.
-CRAIG: Hi, guys.
90
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:42,708
MARTY: Morning.
91
00:03:42,875 --> 00:03:44,000
The Garden Shaft project
92
00:03:44,125 --> 00:03:45,417
is very, very critical this year
93
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:48,833
and this will certainly
push the search forward.
94
00:03:48,958 --> 00:03:50,250
Agreed.
95
00:03:50,417 --> 00:03:52,792
NARRATOR:
...Rick Lagina and Craig Tester,
96
00:03:52,875 --> 00:03:56,167
along with operations
manager Scott Barlow,
97
00:03:56,375 --> 00:03:58,208
have gathered in the war room.
98
00:03:58,375 --> 00:04:00,000
Thank you very much, Rick,
99
00:04:00,208 --> 00:04:03,333
for accommodating our request
for the meeting this morning.
100
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:04,750
NARRATOR:
They are meeting
via videoconference
101
00:04:04,917 --> 00:04:07,625
with Marty Lagina
and representatives
102
00:04:07,792 --> 00:04:10,042
from a mining
and construction company
103
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,500
known as Dumas
Contracting Limited.
104
00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:15,333
RICK:
So, Cameron and Tony,
105
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,625
they asked for this meeting.
106
00:04:16,792 --> 00:04:18,250
I'm hoping this is
107
00:04:18,417 --> 00:04:20,208
the much-anticipated
code of practice
108
00:04:20,333 --> 00:04:23,000
because we've got to get
going on that project.
109
00:04:23,208 --> 00:04:24,667
Right.
110
00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:27,000
NARRATOR:
While the Oak Island team
111
00:04:27,125 --> 00:04:28,333
continues core drilling
112
00:04:28,542 --> 00:04:30,917
in an attempt
to pinpoint new targets
113
00:04:31,042 --> 00:04:32,542
around the Garden Shaft,
114
00:04:32,708 --> 00:04:36,125
Rick, Marty and Craig
are eagerly waiting
115
00:04:36,292 --> 00:04:38,542
for Dumas to have
a code of practice,
116
00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:42,125
or new permit, approved
by the provincial government
117
00:04:42,333 --> 00:04:44,792
to vertically extend
the Garden Shaft
118
00:04:44,958 --> 00:04:46,667
by as much as 20 feet.
119
00:04:46,833 --> 00:04:49,000
This operation
would not only breach
120
00:04:49,208 --> 00:04:50,833
the tunnel running below it,
121
00:04:51,042 --> 00:04:54,333
but also allow the team
to personally explore it
122
00:04:54,542 --> 00:04:57,000
or build a new tunnel,
if necessary,
123
00:04:57,208 --> 00:04:58,833
in order to reach new targets
124
00:04:59,042 --> 00:05:02,292
identified by the current
core-drilling process.
125
00:05:02,458 --> 00:05:04,542
Cameron, I'm going
to turn it over to you.
126
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,500
I hope you have
good news for us.
127
00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:08,583
Uh, we do have
favorable news to report.
128
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,167
Great.
129
00:05:10,333 --> 00:05:12,417
CAMERON:
We did receive notice
130
00:05:12,583 --> 00:05:15,333
from the Ministry of Labor
in Nova Scotia
131
00:05:15,542 --> 00:05:18,792
that our code of practice
has been approved and granted.
132
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:23,208
It's a culmination of
an awful lot of engineering work
133
00:05:23,375 --> 00:05:24,875
led by Mr. Linton
134
00:05:25,083 --> 00:05:27,833
and his technical team, um,
at the Dumas group.
135
00:05:28,042 --> 00:05:30,333
And the ministry is confident
136
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,667
that we have the right
means and methods
137
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:35,583
to go forward with the deepening
of the Garden Shaft.
138
00:05:35,708 --> 00:05:37,125
Great.
139
00:05:37,292 --> 00:05:38,250
CAMERON:
Further, we are actively
140
00:05:38,375 --> 00:05:40,083
mobilizing to the island,
141
00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:41,333
and look forward to getting
142
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:43,583
the shaft deepening
work underway.
143
00:05:43,792 --> 00:05:45,875
Excellent.
144
00:05:46,042 --> 00:05:47,958
That was fabulously
unrelenting good news.
145
00:05:48,042 --> 00:05:49,042
(laughter)
146
00:05:49,208 --> 00:05:50,167
(chuckles)
147
00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:51,333
RICK:
The good news is
148
00:05:51,542 --> 00:05:54,125
the work in the shaft can begin.
149
00:05:54,292 --> 00:05:57,667
We have to take advantage
of this time now,
150
00:05:57,833 --> 00:06:00,917
in terms of the sonic drill
program in the Money Pit,
151
00:06:01,083 --> 00:06:02,750
because when Dumas arrives,
152
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:05,833
the areas we have interest in
will be off limits,
153
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,042
so it might provide some
answers to the overall mystery.
154
00:06:11,208 --> 00:06:13,458
We couldn't ask for
any better news,
155
00:06:13,583 --> 00:06:15,667
so we're exceedingly grateful.
156
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:17,958
And, uh,
we'll have everything ready
157
00:06:18,125 --> 00:06:19,750
and in place and ready to start.
158
00:06:19,958 --> 00:06:21,167
See you out there.
159
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:22,625
Looking forward to it.
160
00:06:22,833 --> 00:06:23,833
-Thank you.
-All right, take care guys.
161
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,125
-Bye, guys.
-Thank you.

00:06:39,792 --> 00:06:42,958
of Lot 5 to expand
their search of an area
170
00:06:43,125 --> 00:06:46,500
that has proven to be
rich with important clues.
171
00:06:46,625 --> 00:06:48,750

You pick the lucky flag, Pete.

Let's go right in the slipway.
173
00:06:50,375 --> 00:06:51,667
Okay.
174
00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:53,833
And notice where
these flags are, mate.
175
00:06:54,042 --> 00:06:56,167
They're dead opposite
those two features,
176
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:57,333
the big round one,
177
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:59,000
and then that feature there
178
00:06:59,167 --> 00:07:01,792
where all the archeologists
are working further up the hill.
179
00:07:01,917 --> 00:07:04,167
-Perfect line for a ship.
-Oh, yeah.
180
00:07:04,375 --> 00:07:07,333
NARRATOR:
Since Rick, Marty
and Craig's purchase
181
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:09,625
of Lot 5 one year ago,
182
00:07:09,792 --> 00:07:12,167
they have made
compelling discoveries here
183
00:07:12,375 --> 00:07:15,500
that suggest
multiple secretive operations
184
00:07:15,667 --> 00:07:17,583
may have taken place
on Oak Island
185
00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:21,792
before the discovery
of the Money Pit in 1795.
186
00:07:22,833 --> 00:07:25,333
These finds include
three Roman coins
187
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:29,000
dating back
as much as 2,000 years
188
00:07:29,208 --> 00:07:32,333
and a 14th-century
lead barter token that,
189
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:35,292
just like the lead cross
that was discovered
190
00:07:35,458 --> 00:07:38,375
at Smith's Cove in 2017,
191
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:41,167
may be connected
to the medieval order
192
00:07:41,292 --> 00:07:43,542
of the Knights Templar.
193
00:07:44,542 --> 00:07:46,000
Near the center of the lot,
194
00:07:46,167 --> 00:07:48,375
they have unearthed
a rectangular foundation
195
00:07:48,542 --> 00:07:50,458
that was deliberately buried
196
00:07:50,583 --> 00:07:53,500
and could date to
the same period in the 1700s
197
00:07:53,667 --> 00:07:56,042
as the Garden Shaft.
198
00:07:56,208 --> 00:07:58,542
And nearer to the shore,
199
00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:00,417
they are also
currently investigating
200
00:08:00,583 --> 00:08:03,167
a mysterious circular depression
201
00:08:03,375 --> 00:08:07,333
that may have been created
sometime in the late 1600s.
202
00:08:07,542 --> 00:08:09,500
All right.
You picked this flag, mate.
203
00:08:09,667 --> 00:08:11,167
Let's make it lucky.
204
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:13,708
(metal detector beeping)
205
00:08:13,875 --> 00:08:15,208
A bit jumpy.
206
00:08:16,750 --> 00:08:19,500
It's coming out, mate.
It's there.
207
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:22,083
NARRATOR:
Now, it is Gary
and Peter's hope
208
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:26,125
to find more definitive clues
on the beach of Lot 5
209
00:08:26,208 --> 00:08:28,708
that might help explain
who could be connected
210
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:31,083
to these incredible discoveries.
211
00:08:31,208 --> 00:08:32,458
(beeping)
212
00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:36,292
Pin-pointer time.
213
00:08:36,458 --> 00:08:38,125
(beeping)
214
00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:41,667
There it is.
215
00:08:41,792 --> 00:08:43,958
-Oh, yeah.
-What do we got here?
216
00:08:51,292 --> 00:08:53,500
This might be
a small cribbing spike,
217
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:54,708
which makes this
really interesting.
218
00:08:54,875 --> 00:08:56,542
We have never found one...
219
00:08:56,708 --> 00:08:58,958
-Mm-hmm.
-...on this side
of the island before.
220
00:08:59,167 --> 00:09:01,792
And in this condition,
221
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,125
it's probably
wrought iron, mate.
222
00:09:04,292 --> 00:09:05,500
-It's what it looks like.
-Yeah.
223
00:09:05,625 --> 00:09:06,750
It looks like the other
stuff we found.
224
00:09:06,917 --> 00:09:07,833
Yeah, it really does,
doesn't it?
225
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,167
It does look old.
226
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:11,167
And they weren't just used
227
00:09:11,375 --> 00:09:14,375
for shafts and tunnels.
228
00:09:14,542 --> 00:09:17,917
These were used
for buildings and also
229
00:09:18,042 --> 00:09:20,333
-on boats and wharfs as well.
-Yeah.
230
00:09:20,542 --> 00:09:21,792
-We'll bag it...
-Yeah.
231
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:23,375
...'cause this is
an interesting find.
232
00:09:23,542 --> 00:09:25,125
These types of fasteners
233
00:09:25,292 --> 00:09:28,000
are called cribbing spikes,
234
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:31,875
and it was for attaching
two timbers together.
235
00:09:32,042 --> 00:09:35,583
We're finding a wide variety
of artifacts in this area.
236
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:37,417
Okay, mate.
Next flag's over here.
237
00:09:37,583 --> 00:09:41,542
I told the guys
Lot 5 is me priority
238
00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:45,458
because we are finding
some of the oldest artifacts
239
00:09:45,625 --> 00:09:48,333
you can find
in North America on Lot 5.
240
00:09:48,542 --> 00:09:50,125
-Right here?
-Yep.
241
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:53,167
There's a heck of a lot of iron
in that area, and I know
242
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:57,917
there are more important
artifacts to be found there.
243
00:09:58,083 --> 00:09:59,958
(beeping)
244
00:10:01,625 --> 00:10:03,625
-That's where I got the hit.
-Yep.
245
00:10:03,792 --> 00:10:05,917
And more than likely, it's iron.
246
00:10:12,208 --> 00:10:13,917
Oh, there it is. I see it.
247
00:10:14,083 --> 00:10:17,667
Oh, wow.
248
00:10:17,667 --> 00:10:18,917
GARY:
Oh, wow.
249
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:21,292
Looks like it's
an old piece of iron.
250
00:10:21,458 --> 00:10:24,000
-Yeah.
-Oh, interesting.
251
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,583
NARRATOR: On the shoreline
of Lot 5,
252
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:29,167
Gary Drayton and Peter Fornetti
253
00:10:29,292 --> 00:10:31,833
have just made a potentially
significant discovery.
254
00:10:32,042 --> 00:10:33,417
GARY:
Maybe it's a handle.
255
00:10:33,542 --> 00:10:35,542
It looks like
it's broken just there.
256
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:38,333
Um, this could possibly be
257
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:42,167
one half of a pair of shears
258
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:44,208
or some kind of snipping tool.
259
00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:46,375
-Mm-hmm.
-It reminds me
260
00:10:46,583 --> 00:10:50,333
of the handles on
those old Spanish scissors
261
00:10:50,542 --> 00:10:52,500
that Dan Blankenship found.
262
00:10:52,667 --> 00:10:54,042
-Mm-hmm. Definitely.
-Yeah.
263
00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:56,542
NARRATOR: While investigating
Smith's Cove
264
00:10:56,708 --> 00:10:59,208
in the summer of 1970,
265
00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:02,208
the late Oak Island
treasure hunter Dan Blankenship
266
00:11:02,375 --> 00:11:06,500
uncovered a pair of
hand-forged iron scissors.
267
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:10,167
Incredibly, subsequent
testing indicated
268
00:11:10,333 --> 00:11:13,625
that they not only dated as
far back as the 17th century
269
00:11:13,833 --> 00:11:16,833
but were also of Spanish origin.
270
00:11:17,042 --> 00:11:20,000
GARY:
Carmen Legge will take
a look at that and tell us.
271
00:11:20,208 --> 00:11:21,958
He'll render an opinion.
272
00:11:22,083 --> 00:11:24,708
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that Gary and Peter
273
00:11:24,875 --> 00:11:26,833
have now found
a related artifact
274
00:11:26,958 --> 00:11:29,083
a half-mile away on Lot 5?
275
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:32,375
If so, could it help
reveal the truth
276
00:11:32,542 --> 00:11:35,833
behind the 228-year-old mystery?
277
00:11:36,042 --> 00:11:38,375
-All right, I'll bag it.
-Yep. Sounds good.
278
00:11:38,542 --> 00:11:40,625
RICK:
Dan's find of
an old pair of scissors
279
00:11:40,708 --> 00:11:41,833
was quite a find for him,
280
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,375
because to him, in his mind,
281
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:48,042
he believed that this was
a Spanish treasure,
282
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:51,042
so it reinforced to him
that he was on the right track.
283
00:11:51,208 --> 00:11:53,208
GARY:
We've got some
interesting finds, mate.
284
00:11:53,333 --> 00:11:55,208
-I say we take 'em
back to the lab.
-Yep.
285
00:11:55,375 --> 00:11:58,125
GARY:
And then, when the tide
goes out, we'll be back.
286
00:11:58,250 --> 00:11:59,917
NARRATOR:
While Gary and Peter
287
00:12:00,083 --> 00:12:02,792
conclude their search
on the beach at Lot 5,
288
00:12:02,917 --> 00:12:05,125
approximately 50 yards inland...
289
00:12:05,250 --> 00:12:06,667
JACK:
Hi, everybody.
290
00:12:06,875 --> 00:12:08,333
-How's the dig going? Good.
-HELEN: Hi, Jack.
291
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:10,292
-How you doing?
-Good.
292
00:12:10,417 --> 00:12:12,792
NARRATOR: ...Jack Begley joins
archeologist Helen Sheldon,
293
00:12:12,917 --> 00:12:15,000
and other members of the team,
294
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:18,042
at the mysterious
rectangular stone feature,
295
00:12:18,208 --> 00:12:21,667
which may be related
to the Garden Shaft.
296
00:12:21,833 --> 00:12:23,500
HELEN:
I'll tell you, Jack,
it's the first time
297
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:25,208
in 40 years of fieldwork
298
00:12:25,375 --> 00:12:27,792
I have seen
something like this buried,
299
00:12:27,958 --> 00:12:29,208
which is really weird.
300
00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:31,333
It's fun seeing you
so excited, Helen.
301
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:33,000
-(laughs)
-And to know that
302
00:12:33,125 --> 00:12:35,042
you haven't seen
a feature like this before.
303
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:36,125
No.
304
00:12:37,333 --> 00:12:39,125
JACK:
Is it normal
305
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:42,333
for the foundation to be
so low in the ground?
306
00:12:42,542 --> 00:12:44,458
HELEN:
No. Normally, you see
307
00:12:44,583 --> 00:12:46,167
an indication of it
on the surface.
308
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:48,125
(sighs) Well,
that makes me think
309
00:12:48,292 --> 00:12:51,208
that it's somehow related
to the Money Pit story.
310
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:52,833
This could've been base camp
311
00:12:53,042 --> 00:12:54,375
for operations in the Money Pit.
312
00:12:54,583 --> 00:12:56,417
Something happened on Lot 5.
313
00:12:56,583 --> 00:12:58,333
We just need to keep digging
314
00:12:58,542 --> 00:13:00,000
and gather more evidence
and find out
315
00:13:00,125 --> 00:13:02,417
what actually was going on here.
That's the plan.
316
00:13:02,583 --> 00:13:04,208
-JACK: I'd be happy to sift.
-HELEN: Okay, sounds good, Jack.
317
00:13:04,375 --> 00:13:06,167
-JAMIE: Sounds great.
-LINDY: Sounds good. Thanks.
318
00:13:06,375 --> 00:13:09,083
NARRATOR:
While the archeologists
319
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,667
continue to carefully
scrape away dirt and sediments
320
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:13,167
from the rock feature,
321
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:15,667
Jack will sift
the collected spoils
322
00:13:15,875 --> 00:13:19,167
to search for any possible
clues or artifacts.
323
00:13:19,292 --> 00:13:22,292
JACK:
Lot 5 is still such a mystery.
324
00:13:22,458 --> 00:13:23,333
There's so many other
325
00:13:23,542 --> 00:13:25,333
odd features around Lot 5
326
00:13:25,542 --> 00:13:27,208
and weird finds that Gary's had,
327
00:13:27,375 --> 00:13:30,875
that I still think
there's a good chance
328
00:13:31,042 --> 00:13:32,542
this was some sort of
an encampment
329
00:13:32,708 --> 00:13:35,167
and this is just a start
330
00:13:35,333 --> 00:13:39,542
to really figuring out what
happened here, pre-settlers.
331
00:13:40,667 --> 00:13:43,542
JAMIE:
Ooh. Hey, Jack.
332
00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:46,042
-Yeah.
-We've found
333
00:13:46,250 --> 00:13:48,583
the biggest piece of creamware
so far today in this unit.
334
00:13:48,708 --> 00:13:50,083
Great. Let's have a look.
335
00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:51,667
JAMIE:
Just the tiniest
piece of glaze
336
00:13:51,833 --> 00:13:54,042
so I can identify it.
337
00:13:56,083 --> 00:13:57,583
JACK:
What type of pottery is this?
338
00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:59,250
JAMIE:
So that's the creamware.
339
00:13:59,417 --> 00:14:02,667
That's the stuff
that was first made in 1762.
340
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:05,042
NARRATOR:
A piece of creamware pottery
341
00:14:05,167 --> 00:14:08,375
dating to as early as 1762?
342
00:14:08,542 --> 00:14:12,750
Has Jamie Kouba found more
evidence supporting the theory
343
00:14:12,917 --> 00:14:15,667
that Lot 5 may have been
a staging ground
344
00:14:15,875 --> 00:14:17,667
for a secret operation
345
00:14:17,833 --> 00:14:20,500
prior to the discovery
of the Money Pit?
346
00:14:21,833 --> 00:14:22,958
JACK:
It'd be nice to find
347
00:14:23,125 --> 00:14:24,667
enough pieces
that we can start to
348
00:14:24,792 --> 00:14:26,333
-put it back together.
-Yeah.
349
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:28,708
JACK:
Nice find.
350
00:14:28,875 --> 00:14:30,417
Let me know
when you find a coin.
351
00:14:30,583 --> 00:14:32,000
JAMIE:
I'm looking.
352
00:14:32,208 --> 00:14:33,333
NARRATOR:
As the investigation efforts
353
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,417
continue on Lot 5...
354
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:37,958
STEVE:
There could be wood right there.
355
00:14:38,125 --> 00:14:40,083
NARRATOR:
...back in the Money Pit area...
356
00:14:41,917 --> 00:14:42,958
-Yeah. That... Yep.
-That is wood.
357
00:14:43,125 --> 00:14:44,167
NARRATOR:
...Alex Lagina
358
00:14:44,292 --> 00:14:46,042
and other members of the team
359
00:14:46,167 --> 00:14:48,167
have just made a potentially
360
00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:53,042
important discovery
in Borehole D.5N-27
361
00:14:53,167 --> 00:14:56,375
located several feet east
of the Garden Shaft.
362
00:14:57,667 --> 00:14:58,667
What you got for depth there?
363
00:14:58,792 --> 00:14:59,833
It's gonna be 95 feet.
364
00:15:00,042 --> 00:15:01,167
95 with wood. Cool.
365
00:15:01,375 --> 00:15:02,875
Oh, yeah,
that's a wood chunk.
366
00:15:04,375 --> 00:15:07,000
-STEVE: That just doesn't
make any sense.
-ALEX: No.
367
00:15:07,208 --> 00:15:09,167
We've usually hit it
at 99 plus.
368
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:10,750
Yes. Yeah.
369
00:15:10,917 --> 00:15:12,625
NARRATOR:
Because the location
370
00:15:12,792 --> 00:15:14,583
of Borehole D.5N-27
371
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:18,875
is in an elevated area
to the east of the Garden Shaft,
372
00:15:19,042 --> 00:15:22,000
the team was not expecting
to encounter the tunnel,
373
00:15:22,167 --> 00:15:24,542
where they have detected
evidence of precious metals,
374
00:15:24,708 --> 00:15:26,500
for several more feet.
375
00:15:26,667 --> 00:15:29,958
Could it be possible
that they have just discovered
376
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:32,667
a completely
different structure?
377
00:15:32,833 --> 00:15:34,083
This doesn't look like
the wood we've hit
378
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:35,667
in previous boreholes
in the tunnel.
379
00:15:35,833 --> 00:15:36,667
-Hey, Scott.
-Hey, guys.
380
00:15:36,833 --> 00:15:37,667
We've got a bit of a ...
381
00:15:37,792 --> 00:15:38,750
Looks like spruce.
382
00:15:38,917 --> 00:15:40,083
...a question. Yeah. It's...
383
00:15:40,250 --> 00:15:42,667
To me, it's a different
type of wood.
384
00:15:42,833 --> 00:15:43,792
It's higher
than we typically see it.
385
00:15:43,875 --> 00:15:45,333
STEVE:
Yeah.
386
00:15:45,458 --> 00:15:46,625
ALEX:
This is really, really weird
387
00:15:46,792 --> 00:15:48,042
because there is no record
388
00:15:48,208 --> 00:15:49,583
of anything at this depth
in this area.
389
00:15:49,708 --> 00:15:51,167
-Hey, fellas.
-Yeah.
390
00:15:51,333 --> 00:15:53,458
ALEX: This is a totally
unknown structure.
391
00:15:53,625 --> 00:15:55,542
-Wow.
-Oh, look what we found.
392
00:15:55,708 --> 00:15:57,167
ALEX:
It's possibly the top
of an offset chamber
393
00:15:57,333 --> 00:15:59,417
for all we know.
It's a big deal.
394
00:15:59,583 --> 00:16:02,375
I don't think anybody
expected to see that.
395
00:16:02,542 --> 00:16:04,083
STEVE:
Different wood.
Different height.
396
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:06,208
-It's a different structure.
-TERRY: I don't know.
397
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:08,958
-Here comes more information.
-TERRY: Right on.
398
00:16:09,125 --> 00:16:10,833
This is going to be 101 feet.
399
00:16:11,042 --> 00:16:13,167
-101.
-101. Thank you.
400
00:16:13,292 --> 00:16:16,333
All right, let's carve it up.
401
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:19,417
What do we got?
Okay, there's some more wood,
402
00:16:19,625 --> 00:16:23,000
but... is it in place or not?
403
00:16:23,167 --> 00:16:24,042
SCOTT:
We've lost recovery
404
00:16:24,208 --> 00:16:26,125
from-- basically from 95
405
00:16:26,292 --> 00:16:28,042
to 101.
We just pushed through it.
406
00:16:28,208 --> 00:16:29,917
And the loose material
falling out, though,
407
00:16:30,083 --> 00:16:32,667
that says that possibly,
it's a... it's a tunnel.
408
00:16:32,792 --> 00:16:33,792
But it's out of place, isn't it?
409
00:16:33,958 --> 00:16:35,792
SCOTT:
It's out of place.
410
00:16:35,917 --> 00:16:37,167
-Hey, fellas.
-ALEX: Hey.
411
00:16:37,333 --> 00:16:39,250
CRAIG: What's
the news, gentlemen?
412
00:16:39,417 --> 00:16:41,833
SCOTT: We're finding timbers
at 95 feet.
413
00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:44,167
CRAIG:
That's at a shallower depth
414
00:16:44,333 --> 00:16:45,667
than anything
we've seen in the area,
415
00:16:45,792 --> 00:16:48,125
so, to me, it's got to be new.
416
00:16:48,292 --> 00:16:51,292
The other problem with this,
though, is we're out of time.
417
00:16:51,458 --> 00:16:54,292
-We got the crane
chasing us off this area.
-Yeah.
418
00:16:54,458 --> 00:16:58,167
NARRATOR:
Because representatives
from Dumas Contracting Limited
419
00:16:58,333 --> 00:17:00,000
will soon arrive on Oak Island
420
00:17:00,125 --> 00:17:02,292
with numerous
heavy digging machines
421
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,625
needed to deepen
the Garden Shaft,
422
00:17:04,792 --> 00:17:08,792
that means that the team
will no longer be able
423
00:17:08,958 --> 00:17:12,042
to drill in this area for
potential valuable targets.
424
00:17:13,042 --> 00:17:14,958
RICK:
We are under time constraints.
425
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:16,833
We have one more chance
to try to
426
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,917
delineate this tunnel
that we seek,
427
00:17:19,083 --> 00:17:21,167
because once Dumas comes in,
428
00:17:21,333 --> 00:17:23,458
certain areas of the Money Pit
will be off limits.
429
00:17:23,625 --> 00:17:25,833
We have time to drill one more
hole here if we want to.
430
00:17:26,042 --> 00:17:28,167
I'd drill one more.
I'd drill until it's coming.
431
00:17:28,292 --> 00:17:29,458
Yeah.
432
00:17:29,625 --> 00:17:31,125
RICK:
We are in a bit of a haste
433
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:32,667
to try to hit a target.
434
00:17:32,875 --> 00:17:34,292
We're not certain
of the data yet.
435
00:17:34,458 --> 00:17:36,833
We have to continue
to drill and hopefully
436
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,333
something more definitive
will come from that drilling.
437
00:17:39,542 --> 00:17:42,042
There's a lot of
"homework" to do here.
438
00:17:42,208 --> 00:17:43,458
I can't stand here
right now and tell you
439
00:17:43,458 --> 00:17:43,833
I can't stand here
right now and tell you
440
00:17:44,667 --> 00:17:46,167
what I think this is
'cause I don't know.
441
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:48,625
-But we have to follow it.
-Yeah.
442
00:17:48,792 --> 00:17:52,125
Just what we need,
another mystery on Oak Island.
443
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:57,833
(truck horn honks)
444
00:17:57,958 --> 00:18:01,583
NARRATOR:
A day that has been
highly anticipated by Rick,
445
00:18:01,708 --> 00:18:04,833
Marty, Craig and the rest
of the Oak Island team
446
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,708
has finally arrived.
447
00:18:06,875 --> 00:18:08,417
Here he comes.
448
00:18:08,542 --> 00:18:10,167
NARRATOR:
Having received
449
00:18:10,333 --> 00:18:12,208
the necessary
governmental permits,
450
00:18:12,375 --> 00:18:15,333
representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited
451
00:18:15,542 --> 00:18:17,792
and Irving Equipment Limited
452
00:18:17,958 --> 00:18:21,042
have begun to deliver
heavy equipment,
453
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:24,042
starting with a 109-ton crane...
454
00:18:24,208 --> 00:18:25,667
-RICK: Hey, Bill.
-Good morning.
455
00:18:25,833 --> 00:18:26,958
NARRATOR: ...that will be used
456
00:18:27,125 --> 00:18:27,958
to deepen the Garden Shaft
457
00:18:28,125 --> 00:18:29,500
in the Money Pit area,
458
00:18:29,625 --> 00:18:31,750
and hopefully
help the team solve
459
00:18:31,917 --> 00:18:34,833
the 228-year-old mystery.
460
00:18:35,042 --> 00:18:37,333
MARTY:
Okay, put that crane together
461
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:39,958
because last year,
we feel like we got
462
00:18:40,083 --> 00:18:42,292
just about to
where we needed to be,
463
00:18:42,417 --> 00:18:44,542
and we needed to go deeper.
464
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,042
So that's the drill.
465
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:47,125
And this is the year.
466
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:49,667
Aw, yeah. Aw, yeah.
467
00:18:49,875 --> 00:18:50,792
So, we're counting on you.
468
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,167
(laughter)
469
00:18:52,333 --> 00:18:53,792
RICK: We really, really
470
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,208
want to put this thing to bed,
471
00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:57,542
put a period
at the end of this story.
472
00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:59,083
BILLY:
We want to put
an exclamation mark
473
00:18:59,208 --> 00:19:00,167
on the end of the story,
not a period, right?
474
00:19:00,375 --> 00:19:01,500
Well, there you go.
475
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:02,625
(chuckling)
476
00:19:02,833 --> 00:19:04,083
And without people like you,
477
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:05,958
it's not possible.
478
00:19:06,042 --> 00:19:08,000
But more to the point, what
Marty said, this is the year.
479
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:09,500
I'd say, let's get going.
480
00:19:09,708 --> 00:19:10,833
Let's roll in and
get this crane together.
481
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,292
-Yep.
-Perfect.
482
00:19:14,625 --> 00:19:17,000
RICK: The Garden Shaft
extension project
483
00:19:17,167 --> 00:19:19,333
is going to be
highly informative.
484
00:19:19,542 --> 00:19:22,000
Without the crane,
we can't even begin to start.
485
00:19:22,208 --> 00:19:24,708
One piece of the puzzle
is now in place.
486
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:26,667
We now await Dumas' arrival,
487
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:27,958
and we can start that project
488
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,333
and get some answers.
489
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,667
BILL:
Come this way
another foot or two.
490
00:19:34,083 --> 00:19:37,417
NARRATOR:
Once the crane is fully
assembled in the coming days...
491
00:19:37,583 --> 00:19:39,833
-BILL: This way a bit.
-NARRATOR: ...it will
be used to maneuver
492
00:19:40,042 --> 00:19:41,500
a three-ton hammer grab tool
493
00:19:41,708 --> 00:19:44,125
that will remove
the earth and sediment
494
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:45,917
that sits at the bottom
of the Garden Shaft.
495
00:19:46,042 --> 00:19:47,000
BILL:
That's good.
496
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,333
NARRATOR:
This will allow
the team from Dumas
497
00:19:50,458 --> 00:19:53,000
to begin extending
the 18th-century structure
498
00:19:53,167 --> 00:19:55,167
down an additional 20 feet
499
00:19:55,333 --> 00:19:57,250
into the believed
treasure tunnel
500
00:19:57,458 --> 00:20:00,583
that the team has discovered
several feet below it.
501
00:20:01,708 --> 00:20:04,125
MARTY:
We know there's a tunnel
under the Garden Shaft
502
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:06,167
that could be
going to an offset chamber.
503
00:20:06,333 --> 00:20:08,042
There could be
a large treasure down there.
504
00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:09,917
There are lots of possibilities
505
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:12,250
in the next 20 feet
of the Garden Shaft.
506
00:20:13,458 --> 00:20:14,792
OULETTE:
That's good, she's tight.
507
00:20:14,958 --> 00:20:15,917
BILL:
Awesome.
508
00:20:18,042 --> 00:20:21,500
NARRATOR:
As the crane assembly begins
on the South Shore road...
509
00:20:23,125 --> 00:20:25,292
ALEX:
Hey, guys. Where are we?
510
00:20:25,417 --> 00:20:27,625
Same line,
just five feet further south.
511
00:20:27,792 --> 00:20:30,042
-Got it.
-NARRATOR: ...Alex Lagina
512
00:20:30,167 --> 00:20:31,500
arrives at the Money Pit area
513
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:34,667
where the team has already begun
514
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:39,167
a new core-drilling operation
in Borehole C5N-27,
515
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:42,667
located several feet east
of the Garden Shaft.
516
00:20:42,833 --> 00:20:44,375
It is the team's goal
517
00:20:44,542 --> 00:20:46,667
to not only encounter
another section
518
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:48,958
of the seven-and-a-half-
foot-high tunnel
519
00:20:49,125 --> 00:20:51,333
some 100 feet underground,
520
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:53,750
but also identify
a valuable target
521
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:57,000
that Dumas may be able
to help them recover
522
00:20:57,167 --> 00:20:59,083
by constructing a new tunnel
523
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:01,292
from the bottom
of the Garden Shaft.
524
00:21:01,458 --> 00:21:03,083
ALEX:
Okay, here's the thing, guys.
525
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:04,833
This is our last shot at this.
526
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,833
We have this hole,
527
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,875
whenever we finish it,
528
00:21:08,042 --> 00:21:09,250
and then the crane moves in.
529
00:21:09,417 --> 00:21:11,208
-The crane needs
to be right here.
-Yeah.
530
00:21:13,583 --> 00:21:14,708
ALEX:
We need to find something
531
00:21:14,875 --> 00:21:16,375
quickly, 'cause right now,
532
00:21:16,583 --> 00:21:18,542
we're drilling in an area that's
going to become off-limits
533
00:21:18,708 --> 00:21:21,667
as soon as Dumas is ready
to put people underground.
534
00:21:21,875 --> 00:21:24,333
-We can do stuff elsewhere...
-Yeah.
535
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:25,792
...it's just that we can't be
536
00:21:25,958 --> 00:21:27,375
this close to the Garden Shaft,
537
00:21:27,542 --> 00:21:29,000
and unfortunately,
what we're looking for
538
00:21:29,167 --> 00:21:30,417
goes right under
the Garden Shaft.
539
00:21:30,583 --> 00:21:31,792
-Yeah, that's right.
-So this is
540
00:21:31,917 --> 00:21:33,500
where our best chance
of hitting it is.
541
00:21:33,625 --> 00:21:35,250
Yeah,
it's a time crunch, though.
542
00:21:35,375 --> 00:21:37,250
It's a time crunch on
the whole drill program
543
00:21:37,375 --> 00:21:39,000
-in this area. So...
-Absolutely. Yeah.
544
00:21:39,208 --> 00:21:41,167
ALEX:
Keep your fingers crossed.
545
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:43,042
NARRATOR:
As the core-drilling operation
546
00:21:43,208 --> 00:21:45,542
continues in
the Money Pit area...
547
00:21:48,208 --> 00:21:50,250
RICK: Carmen,
thank you for coming back.
548
00:21:50,417 --> 00:21:52,167
Gary and Peter
have actually found
549
00:21:52,375 --> 00:21:54,333
a very interesting item.
550
00:21:54,542 --> 00:21:56,333
NARRATOR: ...at the Oak Island
Interpretive Centre,
551
00:21:56,542 --> 00:21:59,458
Rick Lagina, along with
other members of the team,
552
00:21:59,625 --> 00:22:02,000
meet with blacksmithing expert
Carmen Legge,
553
00:22:02,167 --> 00:22:06,125
to have him examine the fragment
of potentially ancient scissors
554
00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:09,333
discovered one day ago on Lot 5.
555
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:11,333
GARY:
Pete and I dug it out,
556
00:22:11,542 --> 00:22:13,333
and it so reminded me
557
00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:14,875
of that pair of shears,
558
00:22:15,042 --> 00:22:17,000
that old Spanish shears
559
00:22:17,208 --> 00:22:19,083
that Dan Blankenship found
560
00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:21,542
in Smith's Cove
during that excavation.
561
00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:23,417
Okay, I'll take a look here.
562
00:22:27,542 --> 00:22:30,083
Well, your hunch is right.
563
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:31,833
It is a handle
off a pair of scissors.
564
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,583
RICK:
Any way to infer a date?
565
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:50,000
CARMEN:
This is very old.
And very old, I mean,
566
00:22:50,208 --> 00:22:53,667
1600, early 1700s.
567
00:22:53,875 --> 00:22:55,083
Wow.
568
00:23:01,250 --> 00:23:02,583
I can go grab them.
569
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:04,292
RICK:
When Carmen related
570
00:23:04,375 --> 00:23:07,667
that the handle was a date
571
00:23:07,833 --> 00:23:09,667
1600 to 1700s...
572
00:23:09,875 --> 00:23:12,292
CARMEN:
'Cause this is one
continuous loop, right?
573
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:15,958
RICK:
...are those original
deposition artifacts
574
00:23:16,125 --> 00:23:18,458
or do they pre-date that?
575
00:23:18,625 --> 00:23:21,667
That's really what we're trying
to do with dating artifacts.
576
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:24,500
Are they
pre- or post-depositional?
577
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:31,167
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
578
00:23:31,375 --> 00:23:32,583
This-this is,
579
00:23:32,708 --> 00:23:34,667
so this pair of scissors
was older than that.
580
00:23:34,833 --> 00:23:36,083
Brilliant.
581
00:23:36,292 --> 00:23:37,167
NARRATOR:
The scissor fragment
582
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:39,833
found on the beach of Lot 5,
583
00:23:40,042 --> 00:23:42,167
potentially dating back
to the 1600s?
584
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:47,667
The same era as the mysterious
circular feature located nearby?
585
00:23:47,875 --> 00:23:50,667
Could it be related
to another compelling clue
586
00:23:50,875 --> 00:23:54,583
that was recently discovered
within that same feature?
587
00:23:55,042 --> 00:23:56,458
MARTY:
It looks like a latch, Laird.
588
00:23:56,667 --> 00:23:58,000
NARRATOR:
Three weeks ago,
589
00:23:58,167 --> 00:24:00,292
at the bottom of the structure,
590
00:24:00,458 --> 00:24:02,833
the team discovered a latch
591
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,958
designed for
lifting heavy cargo.
592
00:24:05,125 --> 00:24:06,667
MARTY:
I'd say it was made
593
00:24:06,792 --> 00:24:08,167
to be driven into something.
594
00:24:08,375 --> 00:24:09,875
NARRATOR:
Incredibly, it was found
595
00:24:10,042 --> 00:24:12,500
to be a compositional match
to artifacts
596
00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:15,417
known to have belonged
to the 17th-century
597
00:24:15,583 --> 00:24:18,000
English politician
Sir William Phips,
598
00:24:18,208 --> 00:24:20,583
a man believed by some
599
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:22,375
to have conspired with
a prominent Freemason
600
00:24:22,542 --> 00:24:24,667
named Andrew Belcher
601
00:24:24,833 --> 00:24:30,375
to bury a large cache of
treasure on Oak Island in 1687.
602
00:24:30,542 --> 00:24:32,708
GARY:
Lot 5 is where
603
00:24:32,875 --> 00:24:36,667
we're finding those
incredible artifacts, coins.
604
00:24:36,792 --> 00:24:38,208
-Yeah.
-GARY: Brilliant stuff,
605
00:24:38,375 --> 00:24:40,125
this included.
606
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:43,167
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that Gary and Peter
607
00:24:43,375 --> 00:24:45,250
have found another critical clue
608
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:47,333
that could prove that theory?
609
00:24:47,542 --> 00:24:50,500
And perhaps explain
the high trace evidence
610
00:24:50,708 --> 00:24:52,917
of precious metals
that have been detected
611
00:24:53,083 --> 00:24:56,167
near the Garden Shaft
in the Money Pit area?
612
00:24:56,292 --> 00:24:58,583
GARY:
And hopefully,
there's some more parts of it.
613
00:24:58,750 --> 00:25:00,125
They might be on the beach.
614
00:25:00,292 --> 00:25:01,750
PETER:
Yeah.
615
00:25:01,917 --> 00:25:03,167
That's the front door to Lot 5.
616
00:25:03,292 --> 00:25:05,333
-PETER: Yeah.
-100%. Yep.
617
00:25:05,542 --> 00:25:07,208
I want to see
some more of these items.
618
00:25:07,375 --> 00:25:08,375
And Gary will
continue to find...
619
00:25:08,542 --> 00:25:09,375
And not pieces.
620
00:25:09,375 --> 00:25:10,042
And not pieces.
621
00:25:10,250 --> 00:25:12,500
-(laughter)
-Oh, I will.
622
00:25:12,708 --> 00:25:13,958
Thank you, Carmen.
I appreciate it.
623
00:25:14,083 --> 00:25:15,167
All right. See you later.
624
00:25:15,292 --> 00:25:16,708
Happy searching.
625
00:25:16,875 --> 00:25:23,083
GARY:
Great, mate. Thanks.
626
00:25:23,083 --> 00:25:25,167
NARRATOR:
While the assembly
of the massive crane
627
00:25:25,292 --> 00:25:28,625
continues on the road
just south of the swamp...
628
00:25:30,250 --> 00:25:32,833
...and as more heavy equipment
arrives on Oak Island
629
00:25:32,958 --> 00:25:36,208
for the upcoming operation
to deepen the Garden Shaft...
630
00:25:37,417 --> 00:25:38,333
ALEX:
Hey, everybody.
631
00:25:38,542 --> 00:25:39,875
This is quite a team now.
632
00:25:40,083 --> 00:25:41,333
-MOYA: Oh, hey, Alex.
-HELEN: Oh, yeah.
633
00:25:41,458 --> 00:25:43,208
-How's it going?
-Good.
634
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:46,625
NARRATOR: ...Alex Lagina joins
archeologists Helen Sheldon
635
00:25:46,792 --> 00:25:49,375
and Moya MacDonald on Lot 5
636
00:25:49,542 --> 00:25:52,042
as they continue
their investigation
637
00:25:52,208 --> 00:25:54,583
of the rectangular
stone foundation.
638
00:25:55,792 --> 00:25:57,125
ALEX:
Any new information?
639
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,333
We've got more white
salt-glazed stoneware,
640
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,625
which is the earlier stuff,
like mid-1700s.
641
00:26:02,792 --> 00:26:04,792
Like 1740 to 1760-ish.
-Okay.
642
00:26:04,958 --> 00:26:06,917
Um, and some more creamware.
643
00:26:07,042 --> 00:26:08,833
Today we had
644
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,958
part of a little,
um, porcelain teacup.
645
00:26:12,125 --> 00:26:13,833
-Oh.
-Which is interesting,
because porcelain
646
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,667
-was a high-end material.
-ALEX: Right. That's awesome.
647
00:26:15,792 --> 00:26:17,542
Moya, what do you think so far?
648
00:26:17,708 --> 00:26:19,583
We've been finding
a lot of pearlware...
649
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:21,667
ALEX: Mm-hmm.
-...which is also
pretty consistent
650
00:26:21,833 --> 00:26:24,667
with the kind of time period
we're looking at.
651
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:26,250
Mm-hmm.
It is not really consistent
652
00:26:26,417 --> 00:26:27,750
with the Oak Island story
653
00:26:27,917 --> 00:26:29,667
in that we don't know of
any structures here at the time.
654
00:26:29,833 --> 00:26:31,500
HELEN:
We don't.
655
00:26:31,667 --> 00:26:35,000
So this would have probably
been before the island
656
00:26:35,208 --> 00:26:38,333
was actually divided up
into the four-acre lots.
657
00:26:38,458 --> 00:26:40,500
-Mm-hmm. Okay.
-So, this predates that.
658
00:26:40,708 --> 00:26:43,167
Pre-discovery of the Money Pit,
too, if we're right.
659
00:26:44,833 --> 00:26:49,000
NARRATOR:
Of the more than
350 islands in Mahone Bay,
660
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:52,458
Oak Island was
the only one divided up
661
00:26:52,625 --> 00:26:54,833
into individual four-acre lots
662
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,792
by the English surveyor general
Charles Morris in 1762,
663
00:26:59,958 --> 00:27:03,167
33 years before
the discovery of the Money Pit.
664
00:27:03,333 --> 00:27:07,667
Although it is unknown why
Mr. Morris made this decision,
665
00:27:07,833 --> 00:27:10,500
could the fact that he was
a high-ranking Freemason
666
00:27:10,708 --> 00:27:12,500
offer a clue?
667
00:27:12,708 --> 00:27:14,500
Might he have had
secret knowledge
668
00:27:14,708 --> 00:27:17,000
of the mysterious
structures on Lot 5,
669
00:27:17,167 --> 00:27:21,250
and perhaps a vast treasure
buried deep in the Money Pit?
670
00:27:22,792 --> 00:27:24,792
HELEN:
So, preliminary deductions here
671
00:27:24,958 --> 00:27:28,625
is that this is
a rock-lined pit...
672
00:27:28,750 --> 00:27:30,750
-Mm-hmm.
-...that was then
actually covered up.
673
00:27:32,167 --> 00:27:33,625
Because we've got very loose
rubble in the middle,
674
00:27:33,792 --> 00:27:37,500
and on top,
like it was filled in.
675
00:27:37,667 --> 00:27:38,917
We have a few artifacts
in this layer,
676
00:27:39,083 --> 00:27:40,375
-and then above it...
-Oh, yeah.
677
00:27:40,542 --> 00:27:42,500
...you have an absolutely
barren layer
678
00:27:42,708 --> 00:27:44,833
-with no artifacts in it at all.
-Right.
679
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,208
ALEX:
It is unusual
680
00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:49,583
that this site appears
to have been covered back up.
681
00:27:49,708 --> 00:27:52,000
In the context of Oak Island,
when you have
682
00:27:52,208 --> 00:27:54,417
this secret treasure
being hidden here,
683
00:27:54,542 --> 00:27:56,917
the people
that may have done that
684
00:27:57,083 --> 00:27:59,292
would have wanted
to keep everything a secret.
685
00:27:59,458 --> 00:28:01,625
So-so, there's your reason
that this was covered back in.
686
00:28:03,375 --> 00:28:04,333
Well, it's fascinating.
687
00:28:04,458 --> 00:28:05,750
I mean, Lot 5, we have
688
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:07,417
all kinds of really strange
689
00:28:07,583 --> 00:28:09,083
metal-detecting finds
on the lot.
690
00:28:09,250 --> 00:28:11,042
-Yeah, we do.
-ALEX: And, you know,
691
00:28:11,208 --> 00:28:13,667
it could be
a really meaningful piece
692
00:28:13,833 --> 00:28:16,208
to the puzzle, whatever
might have happened. So...
693
00:28:16,375 --> 00:28:17,458
So, thanks for the update.
694
00:28:17,625 --> 00:28:18,583
Well, we'll let you know
695
00:28:18,750 --> 00:28:20,125
if anything exciting comes up.
696
00:28:20,333 --> 00:28:22,792
-ALEX: Thank you.
-HELEN: See you, Alex.
697
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:28,917
NARRATOR:
Later that afternoon...
698
00:28:29,833 --> 00:28:31,167
We have a core.
699
00:28:31,292 --> 00:28:32,667
I got it.
700
00:28:32,875 --> 00:28:33,792
NARRATOR:
...Alex Lagina has returned to
701
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,208
the Money Pit area.
702
00:28:35,375 --> 00:28:37,292
Ninety-three!
703
00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:39,500
NARRATOR:
...to monitor
the core-drilling operation
704
00:28:39,625 --> 00:28:41,917
in Borehole C5N-27...
705
00:28:42,083 --> 00:28:44,167
-You got it?
-I got her, yeah.
706
00:28:44,333 --> 00:28:46,583
NARRATOR:
...the final borehole
that the team
707
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:48,292
will be able to complete
near the Garden Shaft
708
00:28:48,458 --> 00:28:51,333
before representatives
from Dumas Contracting Limited
709
00:28:51,542 --> 00:28:54,042
arrive on the island.
710
00:28:54,208 --> 00:28:55,708
All right.
711
00:28:55,875 --> 00:28:57,625
Let's cleave her open,
gentlemen.
712
00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:59,250
Let's see what's up.
713
00:29:00,542 --> 00:29:01,917
93, well...
714
00:29:05,208 --> 00:29:06,333
It's maroon till,
715
00:29:06,542 --> 00:29:08,708
full of cobbles.
716
00:29:09,583 --> 00:29:10,667
-Thank you.
-There's some slough
717
00:29:10,833 --> 00:29:12,833
-on top of this.
-Okay.
718
00:29:13,042 --> 00:29:14,458
Okay.
719
00:29:14,583 --> 00:29:16,500
Nothing but Mother Nature,
720
00:29:16,708 --> 00:29:18,333
and it's pretty firm.
721
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:22,042
93 feet below grade.
722
00:29:23,042 --> 00:29:27,167
C.5N-27 has yielded up
very little
723
00:29:27,292 --> 00:29:28,792
in terms of treasure.
724
00:29:33,042 --> 00:29:34,208
ALEX: This is, like,
725
00:29:34,375 --> 00:29:35,708
time crunch
726
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:37,500
-of all time crunches for us.
-Oh, yeah.
727
00:29:37,625 --> 00:29:39,542
'Cause the crane needs to be
right where that drill rig is.
728
00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:42,000
-CRAIG: Yeah,
tomorrow morning, so...
-ALEX: Like, like... Yeah.
729
00:29:42,208 --> 00:29:43,958
TERRY:
Hopefully we'll get
what we need here
730
00:29:44,125 --> 00:29:45,542
because we won't be able
to get back for a while.
731
00:29:45,708 --> 00:29:47,375
Yep.
732
00:29:47,542 --> 00:29:50,958
With Dumas coming in
a very short period of time
733
00:29:51,167 --> 00:29:53,625
to start deepening
the Garden Shaft,
734
00:29:53,708 --> 00:29:55,542
we need to get
all the information,
735
00:29:55,708 --> 00:29:57,458
because once
the equipment is moved in,
736
00:29:57,583 --> 00:29:59,167
we need to move the drill rig.
737
00:29:59,375 --> 00:30:02,833
So, I'm eager to find out
as much information as we can
738
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,042
to get us
our best possible target
739
00:30:05,208 --> 00:30:08,292
before Dumas has
to move their equipment in.
740
00:30:09,875 --> 00:30:11,708
BRENNAN:
Went in the void, man!
741
00:30:11,875 --> 00:30:12,958
TEDFORD:
Oh, that's a good sign.
742
00:30:13,042 --> 00:30:15,292
So it dropped to 104.
743
00:30:16,542 --> 00:30:18,292
This will be the run. Yep.
744
00:30:20,958 --> 00:30:22,917
CHARLES:
There it is, gentlemen.
We have a core.
745
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,833
TEDFORD:
Might actually be
into something here.
746
00:30:29,042 --> 00:30:30,542
When I ran the casing,
747
00:30:30,708 --> 00:30:32,583
-it dropped to 104.
-ALEX: Down to 104?
748
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:33,917
So is any of that in here?
749
00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:35,167
-We'll see how long it is.
-ALEX: Okay.
750
00:30:35,375 --> 00:30:37,500
The rods dropped down.
751
00:30:37,583 --> 00:30:38,875
That's usually an indication
752
00:30:39,083 --> 00:30:40,917
that the soil,
the ground, the earth
753
00:30:41,083 --> 00:30:43,292
underneath is disturbed.
754
00:30:43,458 --> 00:30:44,917
So, it's a good indication
755
00:30:45,083 --> 00:30:46,042
that we're in the vicinity
of this tunnel.
756
00:30:46,208 --> 00:30:47,333
CHARLES:
What do we got, Alex?
757
00:30:47,542 --> 00:30:49,083
Ninety-eight.
758
00:30:49,208 --> 00:30:52,083
-98.
-But it dropped to 104.
759
00:30:58,958 --> 00:31:00,083
Got no wood there.
760
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:02,500
No wood so far.
761
00:31:05,167 --> 00:31:06,750
TERRY:
It's good and firm,
762
00:31:06,875 --> 00:31:08,250
but the rods sank immediately
below this point,
763
00:31:08,458 --> 00:31:09,417
so that's interesting.
764
00:31:13,625 --> 00:31:15,583
CHARLES:
We have a core, gentlemen.
765
00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:18,208
Hopefully we pick up some wood
in the top of this core.
766
00:31:18,375 --> 00:31:19,333
CRAIG:
Yep.
767
00:31:19,542 --> 00:31:20,583
What do we got, Alex?
768
00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:22,292
-111.
-111.
769
00:31:22,458 --> 00:31:24,125
Scott, 111.
770
00:31:24,292 --> 00:31:26,042
All right, well let's take
a hard look at this right here.
771
00:31:26,208 --> 00:31:27,375
Let's see what we got.
772
00:31:27,375 --> 00:31:27,958
Let's see what we got.
773
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:31,167
-Hello.
-CHARLES: We got wood.
774
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:34,042
-CRAIG: Wow.
-TERRY: Here we go.
775
00:31:36,167 --> 00:31:36,267
w.
776
00:31:37,208 --> 00:31:37,917
NARRATOR:
In the elevated region
777
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:40,625
of Money Pit area,
the Oak Island team
778
00:31:40,792 --> 00:31:42,042
may have just penetrated
779
00:31:42,208 --> 00:31:43,458
a possible treasure tunnel
780
00:31:43,625 --> 00:31:44,042
at a depth of
approximately 111 feet.
781
00:31:45,042 --> 00:31:46,917
at a depth of
approximately 111 feet.
782
00:31:47,083 --> 00:31:49,125
STEVE:
Oh, we have wood there, too.
783
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:54,000
NARRATOR: A tunnel that runs
directly below the Garden Shaft.
784
00:31:55,375 --> 00:31:57,250
-STEVE: Where's it at, Terry?
-108.
785
00:31:57,417 --> 00:32:00,208
That's where the chunk
of wood seems to fall.
786
00:32:00,375 --> 00:32:02,875
It seems pretty firm below.
787
00:32:03,042 --> 00:32:04,667
CRAIG:
You got a piece above that?
788
00:32:04,875 --> 00:32:07,250
TERRY: Yeah,
that's a good point.
789
00:32:07,417 --> 00:32:10,208
Let's have a look.
And actually, yeah, we do.
790
00:32:10,333 --> 00:32:12,625
There's some more wood
impregnated right there.
791
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,958
There's a chunk right there.
That's-that's wood.
792
00:32:19,583 --> 00:32:20,958
Yeah, that's embedded
793
00:32:21,125 --> 00:32:23,375
just above the top of that.
794
00:32:25,250 --> 00:32:29,500
And I think I can see
irregular axe cuts there.
795
00:32:30,708 --> 00:32:31,542
Yeah, maybe right there.
796
00:32:31,708 --> 00:32:33,667
CRAIG:
Yeah.
797
00:32:33,792 --> 00:32:35,500
NARRATOR:
Axe-cut wood,
798
00:32:35,667 --> 00:32:37,375
recovered from
the believed tunnel
799
00:32:37,542 --> 00:32:40,167
that runs below
the Garden Shaft?
800
00:32:40,375 --> 00:32:43,167
Because it is documented
that treasure hunters
801
00:32:43,375 --> 00:32:46,750
began using mechanized saws
in the early 1800s
802
00:32:46,958 --> 00:32:50,167
to construct shafts and tunnels
in the Money Pit area,
803
00:32:50,375 --> 00:32:54,458
could that mean that this tunnel
was created by someone
804
00:32:54,625 --> 00:32:59,542
who deposited valuables
on Oak Island prior to 1795?
805
00:33:01,542 --> 00:33:04,250
TERRY:
There's some kind of a stria
or something going there.
806
00:33:04,417 --> 00:33:07,083
ALEX:
I think I see evidence
that this is hand-hewn,
807
00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:09,125
and so far all the hand-hewn
beams we've found
808
00:33:09,292 --> 00:33:11,958
and dated
have come back really old.
809
00:33:12,083 --> 00:33:13,792
So, there's
a good chance that this
810
00:33:13,917 --> 00:33:15,208
is also a really old beam.
811
00:33:15,417 --> 00:33:17,375
So, obviously,
that's exciting to us.
812
00:33:17,542 --> 00:33:19,500
TERRY:
Anyway, let's have
a look at this one.
813
00:33:19,667 --> 00:33:22,083
See what we got, gentlemen.
Open 'er up.
814
00:33:24,833 --> 00:33:26,500
There's some
wood fiber right there.
815
00:33:26,667 --> 00:33:28,542
Yeah, there's some
fibers in that, Terry.
816
00:33:28,708 --> 00:33:30,542
TERRY:
Yeah. Uh... wow.
817
00:33:30,708 --> 00:33:31,875
We're seeing a lot of
818
00:33:32,042 --> 00:33:34,583
wood chips and chunks.
819
00:33:36,125 --> 00:33:38,833
There's a fairly solid
little chunk of wood.
820
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,875
And it's all above this beam.
821
00:33:41,042 --> 00:33:43,250
So that wood
would seem to be the floor
822
00:33:43,375 --> 00:33:45,583
more so than the roof.
823
00:33:45,792 --> 00:33:48,833
But if it's the roof beam,
824
00:33:49,042 --> 00:33:51,208
I don't know what to make of it.
825
00:33:52,250 --> 00:33:53,833
ALEX:
Well, any big piece of wood
826
00:33:54,042 --> 00:33:55,000
is going to be the ceiling,
not the floor.
827
00:33:55,208 --> 00:33:57,000
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
828
00:33:57,167 --> 00:34:00,000
CRAIG:
If this is the original top
829
00:34:00,208 --> 00:34:01,750
of the tunnel, and
it's been pushed down here,
830
00:34:01,917 --> 00:34:03,333
this material's on top...
831
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:06,833
I'm wondering if we've had
a significant cave-in,
832
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,875
and our tunnel,
833
00:34:09,042 --> 00:34:11,792
is this debris in through here.
834
00:34:11,958 --> 00:34:13,417
That the whole thing
835
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:15,500
collapsed down and above that
it's all really loose.
836
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:17,583
ALEX:
I think it means
we're in a collapse.
837
00:34:17,792 --> 00:34:19,250
I mean, I think the most
we can say about this
838
00:34:19,375 --> 00:34:21,250
is it's a probable hit
839
00:34:21,375 --> 00:34:23,542
-on the tunnel under
the Garden Shaft.
-Yeah.
840
00:34:24,792 --> 00:34:27,000
CRAIG:
Some of this soil we'll
probably want Emma to test.
841
00:34:27,125 --> 00:34:28,250
Some of the wood,
842
00:34:28,417 --> 00:34:30,500
-we may want to do C-14.
-Yep.
843
00:34:30,625 --> 00:34:32,167
-When you bag stuff up...
-Yeah. Okay.
844
00:34:32,333 --> 00:34:34,625
...keep the big,
thick ones separate
845
00:34:34,792 --> 00:34:37,375
-from some pieces
of wood up higher.
-Okay.
846
00:34:37,542 --> 00:34:39,333
NARRATOR:
It is a bittersweet moment
847
00:34:39,542 --> 00:34:40,750
for the Oak Island team.
848
00:34:40,875 --> 00:34:42,500
While they are encouraged
849
00:34:42,667 --> 00:34:44,167
to have possibly
encountered the tunnel
850
00:34:44,375 --> 00:34:46,875
once again,
where high trace evidence
851
00:34:47,042 --> 00:34:48,583
of precious metals
has been detected,
852
00:34:48,750 --> 00:34:51,958
unfortunately,
they were unable to recover
853
00:34:52,167 --> 00:34:53,792
any more clues to determine
854
00:34:53,917 --> 00:34:56,125
just where
the source is located.
855
00:34:56,292 --> 00:34:58,583
However, in the coming days,
856
00:34:58,750 --> 00:35:01,500
representatives from
Dumas Contracting Limited
857
00:35:01,708 --> 00:35:04,000
will begin deepening
the Garden Shaft
858
00:35:04,208 --> 00:35:06,417
to breach this very tunnel.
859
00:35:07,417 --> 00:35:08,792
CRAIG:
Can you put in your notes
860
00:35:08,958 --> 00:35:12,292
the multiple cut
small-cut pieces?
861
00:35:12,458 --> 00:35:14,333
'Cause there's
a lot of them in here.
862
00:35:14,542 --> 00:35:16,167
NARRATOR:
And that will allow the team
863
00:35:16,333 --> 00:35:18,792
to not only better explore it,
864
00:35:18,958 --> 00:35:22,458
but perhaps finally solve
the Oak Island mystery.
865
00:35:22,625 --> 00:35:24,833
ALEX:
We have this mysterious tunnel
866
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,333
with no known origin.
It's just a big mystery.
867
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:30,833
When Dumas gets here, we are
going to start getting answers.
868
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,458
So, hopefully,
we won't be leaving
869
00:35:32,625 --> 00:35:34,792
unanswered questions
in the ground.
870
00:35:35,875 --> 00:35:37,208
SCOTT:
Well, we do have some
more work to do, I guess,
871
00:35:37,375 --> 00:35:38,458
to try and figure this out.
So...
872
00:35:38,625 --> 00:35:40,958
Yeah, certainly.
I think we need to
873
00:35:41,125 --> 00:35:42,333
look at it on a map, honestly...
874
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:43,875
-Yeah.
-...and then figure out
875
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:45,167
where we can drill still.
876
00:35:45,292 --> 00:35:47,000
-Yeah.
-CRAIG: Okay, Terry.
877
00:35:47,125 --> 00:35:49,833
Let you and Steve finish up here
878
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,458
and we will head on back
to the research center.
879
00:35:51,458 --> 00:35:51,750
and we will head on back
to the research center.
880
00:35:52,125 --> 00:35:53,250
-Excellent.
-Okay.
881
00:35:53,417 --> 00:35:54,958
-We'll see you back there.
-Keep in touch.
882
00:35:55,083 --> 00:35:56,167
-Great stuff.
-Thank you.
883
00:35:56,292 --> 00:35:57,750
ALEX:
It's a mystery, that's for sure.
884
00:35:57,917 --> 00:35:58,792
SCOTT:
Yeah.
885
00:36:04,042 --> 00:36:05,375
CHARLES:
Here it comes.
886
00:36:05,542 --> 00:36:06,958
TERRY:
I've seen that crane before.
887
00:36:07,083 --> 00:36:09,292
He's going to perch
right up there.
888
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:11,958
NARRATOR:
The day that the Oak Island
team has been waiting for
889
00:36:12,167 --> 00:36:13,833
has finally arrived.
890
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,167
TERRY:
There they are.
891
00:36:15,333 --> 00:36:17,292
NARRATOR:
Now that representatives
892
00:36:17,458 --> 00:36:19,833
from Dumas Contracting Limited
have completed
893
00:36:20,042 --> 00:36:24,000
their preparations and amassed
all of their heavy equipment,
894
00:36:24,167 --> 00:36:25,333
they are about
to begin extending
895
00:36:25,458 --> 00:36:27,958
the 82-foot-deep Garden Shaft
896
00:36:28,083 --> 00:36:30,000
by an additional 20 feet
897
00:36:30,167 --> 00:36:31,667
in order to breach a tunnel
898
00:36:31,875 --> 00:36:34,792
that may lead to
the Money Pit treasure vault.
899
00:36:34,958 --> 00:36:36,125
CRAIG:
Gentlemen.
900
00:36:36,250 --> 00:36:37,792
RICK:
I don't know about you guys,
901
00:36:37,917 --> 00:36:39,083
I don't know if you got
the right look going on here.
902
00:36:39,250 --> 00:36:40,500
(laughter)
903
00:36:40,667 --> 00:36:42,208
-Rick, how are you?
-How are you guys?
904
00:36:42,375 --> 00:36:43,750
It's a credit to everyone
905
00:36:43,875 --> 00:36:45,750
that this project
is finally underway.
906
00:36:45,875 --> 00:36:48,167
We are locked in. Locked in.
907
00:36:48,333 --> 00:36:51,333
100% locked in to
the Garden Shaft project,
908
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,500
and we believe that it will
help us solve this thing.
909
00:36:54,625 --> 00:36:56,708
This is a huge endeavor here.
910
00:36:56,875 --> 00:36:59,958
We have significant interest
in this area,
911
00:37:00,167 --> 00:37:02,500
but there's
unfinished business here.
912
00:37:02,667 --> 00:37:05,083
Are we standing on top of the
treasure? We don't know that.
913
00:37:05,208 --> 00:37:07,000
Are we standing
on top of information?
914
00:37:07,208 --> 00:37:08,833
We do believe that.
915
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,333
100%. But the only way to
verify that is with your help.
916
00:37:12,542 --> 00:37:14,083
-That's exactly what it is.
-We're a team. So...
917
00:37:14,208 --> 00:37:16,333
ROGER: Yep. This year
we're really excited
918
00:37:16,542 --> 00:37:18,250
getting down there,
getting back to
919
00:37:18,417 --> 00:37:20,042
where we were
and moving forward.
920
00:37:20,208 --> 00:37:21,667
What are the first steps?
921
00:37:21,833 --> 00:37:23,667
We're gonna
lift this cover right off
922
00:37:23,833 --> 00:37:25,708
and we're gonna set up our pump
and we're gonna start pumping.
923
00:37:25,875 --> 00:37:27,458
-The water is
pretty high in there.
-Was it?
924
00:37:27,625 --> 00:37:29,250
When we get to the bottom,
we'll be ready.
925
00:37:29,458 --> 00:37:30,667
NARRATOR:
Since it was sealed shut
926
00:37:30,750 --> 00:37:33,292
at the surface last winter,
927
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,333
the Garden Shaft has become
filled to the top
928
00:37:36,542 --> 00:37:38,792
with groundwater,
and possibly inflow
929
00:37:38,958 --> 00:37:41,250
from the legendary
booby-trapped flood tunnel
930
00:37:41,417 --> 00:37:43,500
that originates
from Smith's Cove.
931
00:37:43,625 --> 00:37:46,208
While it will take
several days to drain,
932
00:37:46,375 --> 00:37:48,375
the water has actually
helped to preserve
933
00:37:48,542 --> 00:37:50,583
the wood in the structure.
934
00:37:50,792 --> 00:37:52,500
CRAIG:
Well, I'm eager to get down
935
00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:55,042
to the tunnel level,
see what that is.
936
00:37:55,208 --> 00:37:56,458
And to drill out,
937
00:37:56,625 --> 00:37:58,375
and see what we find
from drilling out.
938
00:37:58,542 --> 00:38:00,917
NARRATOR:
Over the coming weeks,
939
00:38:01,042 --> 00:38:03,333
the team from
Dumas Contracting Limited
940
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:06,542
will use the massive
109-ton crane,
941
00:38:06,708 --> 00:38:08,583
along with a 3-ton hammer grab,
942
00:38:08,750 --> 00:38:10,833
to excavate
the muck and water
943
00:38:11,042 --> 00:38:12,500
from the bottom of the shaft.
944
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:15,792
Then, they will build
two additional levels,
945
00:38:15,958 --> 00:38:19,458
or sets, down to a depth
of some 100 feet,
946
00:38:19,583 --> 00:38:22,375
breaching the tunnel below it.
947
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:25,000
Depending on what is discovered,
948
00:38:25,167 --> 00:38:28,583
the Oak Island team will
also be able to probe drill out
949
00:38:28,708 --> 00:38:32,208
as much as 40 feet in
every direction from the shaft
950
00:38:32,375 --> 00:38:34,500
to look for
evidence of valuables.
951
00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:37,000
And, if necessary,
they can construct
952
00:38:37,167 --> 00:38:41,667
new lateral tunnels in order
to recover any verified targets.
953
00:38:42,708 --> 00:38:45,708
We need to get to the bottom
of the Garden Shaft.
954
00:38:45,875 --> 00:38:48,083
We have a potential tunnel
that could be
955
00:38:48,250 --> 00:38:49,833
going to an offset chamber.
956
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,583
There could be treasure
itself right below there.
957
00:38:53,708 --> 00:38:55,458
And there could be things
958
00:38:55,625 --> 00:38:58,292
that were left in there
from a long time ago
959
00:38:58,458 --> 00:39:01,375
that are also
very substantive clues.
960
00:39:01,542 --> 00:39:02,458
So, there's lots of
things that could happen
961
00:39:02,625 --> 00:39:04,250
in the Garden Shaft.
962
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:07,000
This year we have
a chance to find treasure.
963
00:39:07,208 --> 00:39:09,333
I think we all want to
get down there to the bottom.
964
00:39:09,458 --> 00:39:11,375
-I'll go first!
-(laughter)
965
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:14,500
You said it right, mate,
unfinished business.
966
00:39:14,667 --> 00:39:18,375
This year we could
get down there and actually
967
00:39:18,542 --> 00:39:20,417
hold shiny gold things
in our hands.
968
00:39:20,542 --> 00:39:23,708
I want to hand these keys
to open this up to Dan Henskee.
969
00:39:23,875 --> 00:39:27,125
We all have immense respect
and admiration
970
00:39:27,292 --> 00:39:29,458
for what Dan has done
almost his entire adult life.
971
00:39:29,625 --> 00:39:32,500
And so, Dan, I'm going
to hand them to you.
972
00:39:32,667 --> 00:39:33,833
-Oh, yeah.
-And I want you to
973
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,292
hand them to Roger,
974
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:37,292
and we can get this party
started, if you will.
975
00:39:37,458 --> 00:39:39,250
Ooh, don't want to lose these.
976
00:39:39,417 --> 00:39:40,375
(laughter)
977
00:39:40,542 --> 00:39:41,375
RICK:
Dan Henskee,
978
00:39:41,542 --> 00:39:43,500
I've said it many times,
979
00:39:43,625 --> 00:39:46,250
has lived, breathed
and bled Oak Island.
980
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:48,333
This is what he was meant to do,
981
00:39:48,542 --> 00:39:50,333
and I think to honor him
is the right thing to do.
982
00:39:50,542 --> 00:39:53,250
All right, Dan.
Let's get this puppy open.
983
00:39:53,417 --> 00:39:54,625
Oh, yeah.
984
00:39:54,833 --> 00:39:56,583
I'll get back here
out of the way a little.
985
00:39:56,792 --> 00:39:58,833
GARY:
Time to open Pandora's box.
986
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,208
-BILL: There we go.
-RICK: There you go, yeah.
987
00:40:02,375 --> 00:40:04,667
So, gentlemen,
this is what we're dealing with.
988
00:40:04,875 --> 00:40:06,375
-Oh, boy.
-Wow.
-Wow.
989
00:40:06,583 --> 00:40:08,042
ROGER:
That's what we got, guys.
990
00:40:08,208 --> 00:40:09,667
(team exclaiming)
991
00:40:09,875 --> 00:40:10,625
Well, I'm ready.
992
00:40:10,792 --> 00:40:11,708
(laughter)
993
00:40:11,875 --> 00:40:12,958
Dive in.
994
00:40:13,083 --> 00:40:14,083
Did you hear that?
995
00:40:14,208 --> 00:40:15,417
That's treasure
calling our name.
996
00:40:15,583 --> 00:40:16,875
(laughter)
997
00:40:17,042 --> 00:40:17,875
Treasure, answers,
998
00:40:18,042 --> 00:40:19,583
call it what you will,
999
00:40:19,708 --> 00:40:21,167
but there's something
at the bottom of this shaft.
1000
00:40:21,375 --> 00:40:22,458
-Oh, yeah.
-And I think
1001
00:40:22,625 --> 00:40:24,958
you are the team
to make it happen.
1002
00:40:25,125 --> 00:40:26,708
So, let's get some answers.
1003
00:40:26,875 --> 00:40:28,333
-What do you say?
-Absolutely.
1004
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:29,750
-Roger...
-Looking forward to it.
1005
00:40:29,958 --> 00:40:31,500
...we're gonna give you
the go-ahead signal.
1006
00:40:31,583 --> 00:40:32,750
-You have at her.
You and the team.
-Absolutely.
1007
00:40:32,875 --> 00:40:34,292
It won't be long,
we'll get you down there.
1008
00:40:34,417 --> 00:40:35,458
Great.
1009
00:40:35,625 --> 00:40:37,542
All right, let's go, guys.
1010
00:40:37,708 --> 00:40:39,875
-ALEX: All right.
-TERRY: Out we go.
Lead us out, Dan.
1011
00:40:40,042 --> 00:40:43,125
NARRATOR:
For brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina
1012
00:40:43,292 --> 00:40:46,000
and their team, the long wait
1013
00:40:46,167 --> 00:40:48,792
to see what lies
beneath the Garden Shaft,
1014
00:40:48,958 --> 00:40:52,167
and perhaps in
the original Money Pit,
1015
00:40:52,333 --> 00:40:54,917
may finally be nearing an end.
1016
00:40:55,083 --> 00:40:57,583
And a dream that has been
collectively shared
1017
00:40:57,708 --> 00:41:00,042
by searchers
for more than two centuries...
1018
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:01,625
-RODNEY: Ready?
-ROGER: Good.
1019
00:41:01,708 --> 00:41:03,625
NARRATOR:
...could soon be fulfilled.
1020
00:41:04,625 --> 00:41:07,417
But if so,
just what is down there
1021
00:41:07,542 --> 00:41:10,083
waiting to be revealed?
1022
00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:13,250
A vast cache of silver and gold?
1023
00:41:13,417 --> 00:41:16,417
Priceless religious artifacts?
1024
00:41:16,583 --> 00:41:20,167
On Oak Island,
only one thing is certain.
1025
00:41:20,333 --> 00:41:23,042
She fiercely protects
1026
00:41:23,208 --> 00:41:26,000
her precious secrets.
1027
00:41:29,042 --> 00:41:31,792
Next time on
The Curse of Oak Island...
1028
00:41:31,917 --> 00:41:33,542
MAX:
We're excited to
present the results
1029
00:41:33,708 --> 00:41:35,500
from the Muon tomography.
So what we're seeing is
1030
00:41:35,708 --> 00:41:39,000
high-density anomaly below
the surface of the Money Pit.
1031
00:41:39,208 --> 00:41:41,708
-We think its Aladdin's Cave.
-It could lead to the treasure.
1032
00:41:44,458 --> 00:41:45,458
I think I've hit a void.
1033
00:41:45,583 --> 00:41:46,792
TERRY:
The plot thickens.
1034
00:41:46,958 --> 00:41:49,542
