1
00:00:01,382 --> 00:00:03,351
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,375 --> 00:00:05,292
This is the LIDAR anomaly.
3
00:00:05,417 --> 00:00:07,059
- That's incredible.
- Let's dig it up.
4
00:00:07,083 --> 00:00:09,375
Ooh! Look at that.
5
00:00:09,542 --> 00:00:12,083
- Looks like a handle.
- To a chest?
6
00:00:12,208 --> 00:00:13,292
Ooh! That's fantastic.
7
00:00:13,375 --> 00:00:14,500
Get us down there.
8
00:00:14,667 --> 00:00:15,809
There's gonna be some answers
9
00:00:15,833 --> 00:00:17,000
at the bottom of that shaft.
10
00:00:17,125 --> 00:00:19,292
Oh! We clipped
the edge of a beam.
11
00:00:19,417 --> 00:00:21,333
This might be
completely unknown.
12
00:00:21,417 --> 00:00:24,167
At 70 feet, it almost
has to be an offset chamber.
13
00:00:24,250 --> 00:00:28,000
The sample came out to
be pre-searcher time period.
14
00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:34,792
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
16
00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:41,042
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:44,000
So far, they have
found a stone slab
18
00:00:44,083 --> 00:00:46,458
with strange symbols
carved into it...
19
00:00:46,542 --> 00:00:50,625
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
20
00:00:50,708 --> 00:00:54,708
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
21
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:56,833
to the Knights Templar.
22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,167
To date, six men have died
23
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:01,583
trying to solve the mystery.
24
00:01:01,708 --> 00:01:04,167
And according to legend,
25
00:01:04,292 --> 00:01:07,167
one more will have to die
26
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,708
before the treasure
can be found.
27
00:01:26,542 --> 00:01:29,875
Another historic
day has arrived on Oak Island.
28
00:01:30,042 --> 00:01:31,500
- Oh, there they are.
- Yep.
29
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:33,333
One that marks the beginning
30
00:01:33,458 --> 00:01:34,875
of an exciting new chapter
31
00:01:35,042 --> 00:01:37,208
for brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina
32
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:38,768
- and their team...
- Gentlemen.
33
00:01:38,792 --> 00:01:40,083
Welcome to the island.
34
00:01:40,208 --> 00:01:41,625
In a quest to locate
35
00:01:41,708 --> 00:01:43,375
the original Money Pit,
36
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:47,333
and finally solve a
227-year-old treasure mystery.
37
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,292
I'm sure you guys are
anxious to get to work,
38
00:01:50,375 --> 00:01:52,018
so if you'll follow us, we'll
take you up to the Money Pit.
39
00:01:52,042 --> 00:01:53,042
We'll follow you.
40
00:01:53,167 --> 00:01:54,500
Today,
41
00:01:54,667 --> 00:01:56,292
they are welcoming
representatives
42
00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:59,167
from Dumas Contracting
Limited, a company
43
00:01:59,292 --> 00:02:02,583
that specializes in
mining construction,
44
00:02:02,708 --> 00:02:05,667
to begin rebuilding the
so-called "Garden Shaft."
45
00:02:06,792 --> 00:02:08,333
Well, guys.
46
00:02:08,417 --> 00:02:10,167
Let me show you
the Garden Shaft.
47
00:02:10,292 --> 00:02:12,167
It's right this way.
48
00:02:12,292 --> 00:02:14,208
Located on the eastern edge
49
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:16,000
of the Money Pit area,
50
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:18,667
the ten-by-ten-foot
diameter Garden Shaft was
51
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:22,750
uncovered by the
team back in 2017.
52
00:02:22,875 --> 00:02:24,976
Okay, that would be probably
be the outside wall there.
53
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,708
Although they
first believed it had been built
54
00:02:27,833 --> 00:02:30,750
in the 1800s by
previous treasure hunters,
55
00:02:30,875 --> 00:02:34,500
recent wood samples
taken some 80 feet deep
56
00:02:34,583 --> 00:02:38,333
have been scientifically
dated to 1735,
57
00:02:38,417 --> 00:02:42,500
over half a century before
the Money Pit was discovered.
58
00:02:42,625 --> 00:02:45,708
We've sampled wells
within the Money Pit area,
59
00:02:45,875 --> 00:02:47,635
and we do have some
chemistry back from this.
60
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,542
And just three weeks ago,
61
00:02:49,667 --> 00:02:52,000
after conducting
scientific analysis
62
00:02:52,125 --> 00:02:54,208
of the water flooding the shaft,
63
00:02:54,375 --> 00:02:57,167
geoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner
64
00:02:57,333 --> 00:02:59,583
made an
extraordinary revelation.
65
00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:01,125
We found, uh,
66
00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:03,500
gold in, uh, the Garden Shaft.
67
00:03:05,875 --> 00:03:07,250
I have the data
up on the screen.
68
00:03:07,375 --> 00:03:08,417
Additionally,
69
00:03:08,542 --> 00:03:10,500
recent core-drilling nearby
70
00:03:10,625 --> 00:03:13,875
has revealed a tunnel
some 103 feet deep
71
00:03:14,042 --> 00:03:17,083
that appears to be leading
toward the shaft, as well.
72
00:03:17,208 --> 00:03:20,875
It does point just
west a few feet of the Garden Shaft.
73
00:03:22,375 --> 00:03:24,208
This is the Garden Shaft.
74
00:03:25,375 --> 00:03:29,000
So, Scott, you can tell the
guys why the shaft is of interest.
75
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:30,583
Well, one of the big reasons,
76
00:03:30,708 --> 00:03:32,958
we started a program
last year, water testing.
77
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:35,958
As you can see, it's always
had a body of water in it,
78
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:37,917
so we captured
some of that water,
79
00:03:38,042 --> 00:03:39,792
and it tested high for gold.
80
00:03:39,875 --> 00:03:42,101
- All right.
- So, it's definitely worth exploring.
81
00:03:42,125 --> 00:03:46,167
To me, the most
interesting thing about this shaft is
82
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:49,458
that there very possibly
could be a tunnel at the bottom
83
00:03:49,542 --> 00:03:54,542
of that shaft, which still
might be available to enter.
84
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,333
So, there's some
information down that hole,
85
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:01,042
and we would like you
to provide access to it
86
00:04:01,167 --> 00:04:02,542
because we really think
87
00:04:02,708 --> 00:04:04,308
that there's gonna be
some answers there,
88
00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:06,708
but what we need
to understand is
89
00:04:06,875 --> 00:04:08,792
what's the plan here?
How do we approach this?
90
00:04:08,875 --> 00:04:10,333
How do you approach this?
91
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,667
I think, right now,
we're... we've got a bunch
92
00:04:12,792 --> 00:04:14,458
of engineering
m... done up here to
93
00:04:14,583 --> 00:04:18,125
make a-a cap on top and-and
start from the top down,
94
00:04:18,208 --> 00:04:20,875
and we can start moving,
uh, some of the dirt
95
00:04:21,042 --> 00:04:22,792
and, uh, rehabbing the shaft,
96
00:04:22,917 --> 00:04:24,708
making it safe for everybody.
97
00:04:24,875 --> 00:04:28,000
Over the
course of the next two months,
98
00:04:28,083 --> 00:04:32,000
the team from Dumas will
drain and excavate the old shaft
99
00:04:32,083 --> 00:04:35,625
and then install a new,
waterproof wooden structure,
100
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:39,375
reaching a planned
depth of at least 80 feet.
101
00:04:39,542 --> 00:04:42,500
If evidence of tunnels
or voids are encountered
102
00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:45,667
as the work progresses
deeper and deeper underground,
103
00:04:45,792 --> 00:04:50,417
the team can also tunnel out
laterally from the main shaft.
104
00:04:50,542 --> 00:04:52,500
We'll be underground
in The Money Pit
105
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:54,125
for the very first time.
106
00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:56,125
I mean, that's important.
107
00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:57,500
Rehabbing the Garden Shaft
108
00:04:57,667 --> 00:05:00,250
provides some very
unique opportunities
109
00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:02,583
to further explore that area.
110
00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:05,833
You guys are the eyes
and boots component of this
111
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,458
maybe history-making agenda.
112
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:10,333
There are high
concentrations of gold
113
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:11,833
in the Garden Shaft,
114
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,083
and, amazingly, the Garden Shaft
115
00:05:14,208 --> 00:05:16,292
may be
116
00:05:16,375 --> 00:05:17,958
where the treasure actually is.
117
00:05:19,125 --> 00:05:20,375
Get us down there.
118
00:05:20,542 --> 00:05:22,083
Figure out what it is.
119
00:05:22,208 --> 00:05:24,000
You guys are the company
120
00:05:24,083 --> 00:05:26,625
- that's gonna make this happen.
- And we can't wait
121
00:05:26,708 --> 00:05:28,518
to get down there and
get our, get our hands dirty
122
00:05:28,542 --> 00:05:30,333
and-and get you some answers.
123
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:32,208
I'm looking
forward to getting started,
124
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:35,167
and if you ever need an extra
hand when you get down there,
125
00:05:35,292 --> 00:05:36,333
my arm goes up.
126
00:05:36,417 --> 00:05:38,333
So, again,
127
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:40,018
thank you very much.
I really appreciate it.
128
00:05:40,042 --> 00:05:43,167
Let's get to the bottom of this.
What do you say? We all in?
129
00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:45,333
- We're all in.
- Okay. Let's do it.
130
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:46,893
- Yeah, let's get after.
- Do it. Yeah.
131
00:05:46,917 --> 00:05:48,708
As operations get under way
132
00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:50,000
at the Garden Shaft,
133
00:05:50,125 --> 00:05:52,167
Rick Lagina heads
134
00:05:52,292 --> 00:05:54,500
just 60 feet to the south.
135
00:05:54,583 --> 00:05:56,063
- Hey, Rick.
- Morning, guys.
136
00:05:56,167 --> 00:05:57,500
- How're you doing?
- Good.
137
00:05:57,625 --> 00:05:58,375
- How are you?
- Good. -Not too bad.
138
00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:59,583
Where are we?
139
00:05:59,708 --> 00:06:01,958
Can you point out the location?
140
00:06:02,083 --> 00:06:03,208
This one right here, Rick.
141
00:06:03,333 --> 00:06:06,500
And here we are
down here in the L-16.
142
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:09,417
Here, geologist Terry Matheson
143
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:12,167
and Oak Island historian
Charles Barkhouse
144
00:06:12,292 --> 00:06:14,000
are supervising the drilling
145
00:06:14,167 --> 00:06:16,500
of a borehole known as L-16.
146
00:06:16,583 --> 00:06:20,167
A borehole where
the team is conducting
147
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:21,792
new water sample testing
148
00:06:21,917 --> 00:06:24,375
in order to confirm
Dr. Spooner's findings
149
00:06:24,542 --> 00:06:28,042
that gold could be buried
in the Garden Shaft area,
150
00:06:28,208 --> 00:06:30,958
as well as additional
evidence of the believed tunnel
151
00:06:31,042 --> 00:06:34,000
some 103 feet deep.
152
00:06:34,083 --> 00:06:35,708
What's happening?
153
00:06:35,875 --> 00:06:39,125
We're down about 108, and when
we were just reviewing the core,
154
00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:41,125
just a normal logging,
we came across
155
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:44,458
- a little chunk of wood, just kind of unexpectedly.
- All right.
156
00:06:44,542 --> 00:06:46,625
What was the depth of this?
157
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:49,625
106.5 to 107. Right in there.
158
00:06:49,750 --> 00:06:53,292
It was in situ ground above,
and in situ ground below.
159
00:06:53,417 --> 00:06:55,625
At this point, we're
thinking another tunnel.
160
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:58,476
- There you go.
- Wood?
161
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:00,208
Discovered in situ,
162
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:02,458
meaning in undisturbed ground,
163
00:07:02,583 --> 00:07:06,208
at a depth of
approximately 106 feet?
164
00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:08,000
If so, is it possible
165
00:07:08,083 --> 00:07:10,833
that the team has
encountered another section
166
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,167
of the tunnel they
recently discovered,
167
00:07:13,292 --> 00:07:16,958
which may potentially lead
toward the Garden Shaft?
168
00:07:17,042 --> 00:07:19,792
Almost every time we drill
anywhere near the Money Pit,
169
00:07:19,875 --> 00:07:21,917
something pops up
that we didn't expect.
170
00:07:22,042 --> 00:07:23,958
And here it happened
again, part of the tunnel.
171
00:07:24,042 --> 00:07:27,458
So, what it means
has to be figured out.
172
00:07:27,583 --> 00:07:30,667
Not only is it
at-at the depth, but
173
00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:33,625
we're in a fairly
under-investigated
174
00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:35,184
- area of the Money Pit.
- Absolutely.
175
00:07:35,208 --> 00:07:37,333
And because of that,
176
00:07:37,417 --> 00:07:39,250
it's a prime candidate
for C-14 testing.
177
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:40,455
- Oh, for sure.
- 100%
178
00:07:40,542 --> 00:07:41,542
You know, to have
179
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:43,000
a small chunk of wood
180
00:07:43,167 --> 00:07:44,247
might provide a very unique
181
00:07:44,292 --> 00:07:45,833
window of insight
182
00:07:45,958 --> 00:07:47,318
as to what's going
on in this area.
183
00:07:47,375 --> 00:07:49,042
- Absolutely.
- Yep.
184
00:07:49,208 --> 00:07:51,750
I think this
retrieval of the wood,
185
00:07:51,875 --> 00:07:54,792
should further our
understanding of this area.
186
00:07:54,917 --> 00:07:58,375
We have a unique opportunity
to investigate an area
187
00:07:58,542 --> 00:08:01,167
that strongly suggests
188
00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:04,875
very early activity, if not
original depositional work.
189
00:08:05,042 --> 00:08:09,000
And we have to take every
advantage of this opportunity.
190
00:08:09,167 --> 00:08:12,375
Water sampling, gold monitoring,
191
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:13,750
C-14 testing,
192
00:08:13,875 --> 00:08:15,500
eventually, we'll
figure this out.
193
00:08:15,625 --> 00:08:17,292
- Let's see what happens.
- Okay.
194
00:08:17,417 --> 00:08:18,559
- Thanks, guys.
- Yep. Take care.
195
00:08:18,583 --> 00:08:20,000
- See you. Take care.
- Yep.
196
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,375
Later that afternoon...
197
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,500
Thanks, everybody, for coming.
198
00:08:26,625 --> 00:08:27,875
You know, guys, generally,
199
00:08:28,042 --> 00:08:29,559
when we sit around
this war room table,
200
00:08:29,583 --> 00:08:31,833
it's always about
new things. You know,
201
00:08:31,958 --> 00:08:34,583
- new information, new data, new discoveries.
- Yeah.
202
00:08:34,708 --> 00:08:36,542
Rick has
gathered in the war room
203
00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:38,458
with Dr. Ian Spooner
204
00:08:38,542 --> 00:08:40,792
and other members
of the team regarding
205
00:08:40,875 --> 00:08:43,667
another investigation
focused nearly a half mile
206
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:47,000
from the Money Pit, on the
western side of the island.
207
00:08:47,083 --> 00:08:48,500
I've asked Ian to
208
00:08:48,583 --> 00:08:50,625
take a look at the LIDAR data.
209
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:53,500
Uh, we wanted to know
210
00:08:53,583 --> 00:08:55,750
- where the targets are.
- Yeah.
211
00:08:55,875 --> 00:08:58,351
- Okay, we'll stand back.
- Just stand back, and we'll get going.
212
00:08:58,375 --> 00:08:59,750
One week ago,
213
00:08:59,875 --> 00:09:01,792
the team commissioned
representatives
214
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,958
from Phoenix Aerial Productions
215
00:09:04,042 --> 00:09:07,958
to conduct a drone-based
LIDAR survey of the entire island.
216
00:09:08,042 --> 00:09:11,000
After making a
number of potentially
217
00:09:11,125 --> 00:09:14,833
pre-16th century
discoveries on Lots 7 and 8,
218
00:09:14,958 --> 00:09:17,833
including an
ancient barter token
219
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
and a bunk hook, designed
for hoisting heavy cargo,
220
00:09:22,125 --> 00:09:25,750
the hope was that an
extensive geophysical
221
00:09:25,875 --> 00:09:28,750
survey might reveal
more substantial clues,
222
00:09:28,875 --> 00:09:32,792
such as buried structures
or large, valuable objects.
223
00:09:32,875 --> 00:09:36,042
I, like you, this will be
a learning experience
224
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:38,458
because I'm not aware
of what he's exactly found.
225
00:09:38,583 --> 00:09:42,167
Now, with his
more than 30 years of experience
226
00:09:42,292 --> 00:09:45,375
studying ground surfaces
and differentiating between
227
00:09:45,542 --> 00:09:47,708
natural and man-made formations,
228
00:09:47,875 --> 00:09:50,500
Dr. Spooner has
completed his analysis
229
00:09:50,667 --> 00:09:52,750
of the LIDAR survey data.
230
00:09:52,875 --> 00:09:55,333
Ian, you've been kind
enough to review the data,
231
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:56,833
so what've you got?
232
00:09:56,958 --> 00:09:58,667
So, I took a look at the LIDAR,
233
00:09:58,750 --> 00:10:02,208
and, in particular, Lot 30, uh,
jumped out, a feature there,
234
00:10:02,333 --> 00:10:03,958
and, uh, that
235
00:10:04,042 --> 00:10:05,750
I think Steve's gonna
take us to right now
236
00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:07,333
and see what people think.
237
00:10:07,417 --> 00:10:09,167
Sure.
238
00:10:09,292 --> 00:10:11,667
So, I brought this up first.
239
00:10:11,792 --> 00:10:14,917
So, this was supplied to us
from a LIDAR that they ran.
240
00:10:15,042 --> 00:10:18,167
Uh, you'll notice down
here, so it's right in here.
241
00:10:18,292 --> 00:10:21,833
There's the anomaly on Lot 30.
242
00:10:21,958 --> 00:10:24,667
It's about 100 by 150 feet.
243
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,458
Yeah, I'm
pretty excited by this.
244
00:10:26,583 --> 00:10:28,417
This is very geometric.
245
00:10:28,542 --> 00:10:31,167
It's not some natural feature.
246
00:10:31,292 --> 00:10:33,875
So, the question is, what is it?
247
00:10:41,958 --> 00:10:42,833
That's incredibly interesting.
248
00:10:42,958 --> 00:10:45,375
In the war room,
249
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:47,708
Dr. Ian Spooner
and Steve Guptill
250
00:10:47,833 --> 00:10:49,708
are presenting Rick
and members of the team
251
00:10:49,833 --> 00:10:51,833
with LIDAR images
252
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,833
of a potentially important
discovery on Lot 30,
253
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,667
located on the western
side of Oak Island.
254
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:00,792
So, this is very geometric.
255
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:02,355
And it deserves,
I think, a little bit
256
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:04,250
o-o-of a more careful look.
257
00:11:04,375 --> 00:11:06,042
Yeah.
258
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:09,250
Every one of the
experts has said to us,
259
00:11:09,375 --> 00:11:12,667
look for rectangular features
because Mother Nature
260
00:11:12,792 --> 00:11:14,750
does not do right
angles very well.
261
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:18,792
Here, we have in front of
us a very rectangular feature.
262
00:11:18,875 --> 00:11:22,000
The inference being that's
a man-made construct.
263
00:11:22,167 --> 00:11:25,750
Anything man-made on this
island should be investigated.
264
00:11:25,875 --> 00:11:27,917
There's no reason not
265
00:11:28,042 --> 00:11:30,958
to try to figure out what
it, what it may represent.
266
00:11:31,042 --> 00:11:32,292
Yeah.
267
00:11:32,417 --> 00:11:33,667
- Yeah.
- I like that area
268
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:35,917
'cause it was kind of opposite
269
00:11:36,042 --> 00:11:39,708
where the wharf
would've been on Lot 32,
270
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:43,583
where we found a wide
variety of metal finds.
271
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:45,184
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna turn off
272
00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:47,792
the LIDAR just so
we can see the image.
273
00:11:50,917 --> 00:11:52,625
Maybe this is
274
00:11:52,708 --> 00:11:54,667
the camp that the
wharf we're looking for
275
00:11:54,833 --> 00:11:56,417
on 32 is associated with.
276
00:11:56,542 --> 00:11:57,792
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
277
00:11:57,917 --> 00:11:59,833
It's really not that far.
278
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,208
No, it's
not. You're right.
279
00:12:03,708 --> 00:12:06,333
Over the past two years,
280
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,792
Gary Drayton and members
of the team have discovered
281
00:12:09,875 --> 00:12:12,167
abundant evidence
of an old ship's wharf
282
00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:14,458
on nearby Lot 32,
283
00:12:14,542 --> 00:12:17,667
which sits only some 200 yards
284
00:12:17,792 --> 00:12:21,667
from the mysterious
LIDAR anomaly on Lot 30.
285
00:12:21,792 --> 00:12:24,000
Is it possible, as the
team is speculating,
286
00:12:24,125 --> 00:12:28,167
that the two locations
are potentially related?
287
00:12:28,292 --> 00:12:31,917
Two big areas, where
we've recovered artifacts,
288
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:35,333
by the shore there on
32 and then just inland.
289
00:12:35,417 --> 00:12:36,917
Yeah.
290
00:12:37,042 --> 00:12:39,083
Makes sense that it could
be some kind of camp.
291
00:12:39,208 --> 00:12:40,792
Yeah. Connects.
292
00:12:40,875 --> 00:12:43,000
We just got to
find out when they were
293
00:12:43,167 --> 00:12:44,333
using that area.
294
00:12:44,417 --> 00:12:45,625
Yeah.
295
00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:46,958
If this feature's from
296
00:12:47,042 --> 00:12:49,208
the depositors that
were using a wharf,
297
00:12:49,333 --> 00:12:51,833
then I'd say we're the first
people that ever came across it.
298
00:12:51,958 --> 00:12:55,000
Surprises abound, and
this might be one of them.
299
00:12:55,125 --> 00:12:56,667
Yeah.
300
00:12:56,792 --> 00:12:57,809
Everything that we talked about
301
00:12:57,833 --> 00:12:59,667
indicates that that area
302
00:12:59,833 --> 00:13:01,433
should have an
explanation for it, right?
303
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:02,958
- Yeah.
- So, Laird,
304
00:13:03,083 --> 00:13:04,476
not to put you on the spot...
305
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:07,625
How do we go about
investigating this feature?
306
00:13:07,708 --> 00:13:09,333
I think we come in and do
307
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:10,750
a small test trench by hand
308
00:13:10,875 --> 00:13:13,208
across one of the intersections.
309
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:15,167
I think we take our
time and make sure
310
00:13:15,292 --> 00:13:16,667
we get all-all the
bases covered.
311
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:19,125
And there's actually one area
312
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:22,000
close to there that I
haven't got into yet,
313
00:13:22,125 --> 00:13:24,292
on Lot 32.
314
00:13:24,375 --> 00:13:27,167
Ian, thank you
very much. Appreciate it,
315
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:29,667
but now it's time to put
the eyes and boots on it
316
00:13:29,792 --> 00:13:31,917
- and see what we can discover.
- Yep.
317
00:13:32,042 --> 00:13:33,917
Let's head out back.
318
00:13:36,542 --> 00:13:38,917
Following
their meeting in the war room,
319
00:13:39,042 --> 00:13:41,625
as operations continue
320
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:43,458
in the Money Pit area...
321
00:13:46,833 --> 00:13:48,375
Anything over there, Laird?
322
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:49,958
Nope. Not yet.
323
00:13:50,083 --> 00:13:53,250
Just getting below
the roots now.
324
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:55,958
Rick Lagina and Laird Niven join
325
00:13:56,042 --> 00:13:58,542
Helen Sheldon on Lot 30 to begin
326
00:13:58,667 --> 00:14:02,167
their investigation of the
mysterious, buried feature.
327
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:05,333
What would be better
to find: pottery or glass?
328
00:14:05,458 --> 00:14:06,667
Pottery.
329
00:14:06,792 --> 00:14:10,042
It changed more
frequently over time,
330
00:14:10,167 --> 00:14:12,625
so you get a better date off it.
331
00:14:12,750 --> 00:14:15,917
Over the
course of the coming days,
332
00:14:16,042 --> 00:14:19,042
the team will meticulously
excavate a series
333
00:14:19,167 --> 00:14:22,417
of small square test
pits all across the feature
334
00:14:22,542 --> 00:14:26,083
in the hopes of not only
identifying what it may be,
335
00:14:26,208 --> 00:14:29,167
but also unearth
any important artifacts
336
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:31,833
or valuables that
it may contain.
337
00:14:31,917 --> 00:14:34,333
In order to completely
understand what this is,
338
00:14:34,458 --> 00:14:37,083
I think we need to
define this structure.
339
00:14:37,208 --> 00:14:39,833
We need to find artifacts that
340
00:14:39,958 --> 00:14:42,000
can timeline this structure.
341
00:14:42,125 --> 00:14:44,417
We need to let the
discovery activities
342
00:14:44,542 --> 00:14:46,333
that we conduct tell the tale.
343
00:14:46,417 --> 00:14:49,292
It's very
gravely-looking gravel.
344
00:14:49,375 --> 00:14:50,708
It is, yeah.
345
00:14:50,833 --> 00:14:52,333
So, we're close.
346
00:14:52,458 --> 00:14:54,875
Just gonna take
a little more work.
347
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,250
As Rick, Laird, and Helen
348
00:14:58,375 --> 00:15:01,208
begin investigating
the feature on Lot 30...
349
00:15:02,583 --> 00:15:05,583
approximately
200 yards to the east,
350
00:15:05,708 --> 00:15:07,708
Gary Drayton and Jack Begley
351
00:15:07,875 --> 00:15:09,917
arrive on Lot 32.
352
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:12,667
- You go first, Gary.
- All right, mate.
353
00:15:12,833 --> 00:15:14,833
Lead us to the treasure.
354
00:15:14,917 --> 00:15:17,375
Here, they
will search for additional clues
355
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:20,125
in the area where they
previously discovered
356
00:15:20,208 --> 00:15:22,667
evidence of an
ancient ship's wharf.
357
00:15:22,792 --> 00:15:24,500
What we'll do,
we'll go in lines.
358
00:15:24,625 --> 00:15:28,167
We'll go along the shoreline
and come back down.
359
00:15:28,333 --> 00:15:30,583
- Make sure we cover everything.
- Yeah.
360
00:15:30,708 --> 00:15:32,167
Right,
361
00:15:32,333 --> 00:15:35,000
let's see if we can get lucky.
362
00:15:37,875 --> 00:15:41,000
Ooh, I can hear some
little chittery-chattery.
363
00:15:41,125 --> 00:15:42,833
I'm looking for good, two-way
364
00:15:42,958 --> 00:15:44,833
repeatable signals,
365
00:15:44,958 --> 00:15:47,208
like that.
366
00:15:47,333 --> 00:15:49,833
Yeah, this one's
got to come out.
367
00:15:49,917 --> 00:15:51,917
Let me try pinpointing
it for you, mate.
368
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:55,417
- It's right there.
- Right there, mate.
369
00:16:05,750 --> 00:16:08,390
- All right, Gary. Work your magic, bud.
- Thank you so much.
370
00:16:11,875 --> 00:16:13,833
There.
371
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,292
- Right in the bottom there.
- Yeah.
372
00:16:16,417 --> 00:16:18,125
That's exactly where
we thought it was.
373
00:16:18,208 --> 00:16:20,125
That is deep. That's
very impressive.
374
00:16:20,208 --> 00:16:24,125
I just hope it's
something really old.
375
00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:26,958
Careful, mate.
It might be sharp.
376
00:16:28,542 --> 00:16:30,667
What is that?
377
00:16:30,792 --> 00:16:33,083
To me, that looks like
378
00:16:33,208 --> 00:16:35,625
a part of a fire grate.
379
00:16:37,042 --> 00:16:40,125
Whenever you see any
pieces of flat iron like this,
380
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:42,375
and it's got those ridges.
381
00:16:42,542 --> 00:16:43,625
Yeah.
382
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:45,292
I mean, this could be old, mate.
383
00:16:45,375 --> 00:16:48,250
To me, it looks like 1700s.
384
00:16:49,417 --> 00:16:51,833
Along with a lot of artifacts
that we've recovered
385
00:16:51,917 --> 00:16:53,542
off this lot.
386
00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:55,167
Yeah. I, uh, I agree.
387
00:16:55,333 --> 00:16:57,268
- Let's bag it and tag it and get it tested.
- Yeah.
388
00:16:57,292 --> 00:16:59,542
And I'm sure there's
some more pieces in there.
389
00:16:59,667 --> 00:17:02,667
Okay, let's double-check then.
390
00:17:02,792 --> 00:17:04,833
Whoo!
391
00:17:04,958 --> 00:17:06,250
Wow, look at that.
392
00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:09,667
- That was a surprise.
- Oh, there's more.
393
00:17:09,792 --> 00:17:11,458
Yeah?
394
00:17:11,542 --> 00:17:14,083
The heck is this?
395
00:17:14,208 --> 00:17:16,667
That is cool. These look old, mate.
396
00:17:16,792 --> 00:17:19,708
This is unusual, mate.
397
00:17:19,833 --> 00:17:22,500
These spikes are substantial.
398
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:26,500
Eh, I don't know if they're
fasteners or they're tools,
399
00:17:26,625 --> 00:17:28,505
but, either way mate,
there's some oldness here,
400
00:17:28,625 --> 00:17:31,458
- we're holding some ancientness, in our hand.
- That's sweet.
401
00:17:31,542 --> 00:17:34,667
- Yeah, you can see, like, the striations on it.
- Yeah.
402
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:36,917
These are really, really cool.
403
00:17:37,042 --> 00:17:39,762
- Fantastic. Feel the weight of those, mate.
- Oh, yeah, I'd love to.
404
00:17:39,875 --> 00:17:41,500
Good digging as well.
405
00:17:41,625 --> 00:17:44,208
What I love about
these pieces of iron is
406
00:17:44,375 --> 00:17:47,208
they fit in perfectly
with the time frame
407
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:50,167
of the old wharf,
that lead bale seal.
408
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,083
Same time frame
409
00:17:52,208 --> 00:17:54,417
- or maybe a lot older.
- 'Cause the wharf
410
00:17:54,542 --> 00:17:56,684
- would've been just right out there, is where we suspect.
- Yeah.
411
00:17:56,708 --> 00:17:58,333
Yup.
412
00:17:58,458 --> 00:18:00,167
The deeper we're
digging in this hole,
413
00:18:00,292 --> 00:18:02,083
uh, the more we're finding.
414
00:18:02,208 --> 00:18:05,875
And these two artifacts,
they're made of iron,
415
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,292
and anytime you
see those striations
416
00:18:09,375 --> 00:18:11,625
along the shank,
then you're talking
417
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:14,042
about hand-forged iron,
418
00:18:14,208 --> 00:18:16,000
which is always older.
419
00:18:16,083 --> 00:18:18,208
These are just
the type of artifacts
420
00:18:18,375 --> 00:18:20,458
you want to be
recovering in an area
421
00:18:20,583 --> 00:18:23,833
where you think there's
a potential old wharf.
422
00:18:23,917 --> 00:18:26,000
So, let's see what
else is in there.
423
00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:27,500
So, should we
double-check the hole?
424
00:18:27,583 --> 00:18:28,833
Yeah.
425
00:18:29,958 --> 00:18:31,042
All right.
426
00:18:32,458 --> 00:18:34,458
- Oh, there's more.
- Wow.
427
00:18:34,542 --> 00:18:38,333
Every signal sounds
better than the last one.
428
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:39,958
This is a cool, little area.
429
00:18:40,083 --> 00:18:42,083
Oh, yeah, I'm glad
we didn't leave.
430
00:18:43,042 --> 00:18:46,083
Oh, ho, ho, a screamer!
431
00:18:50,083 --> 00:18:51,167
You can feel it though,
432
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:53,333
- can't you?
- Oh, I can see it.
433
00:18:53,458 --> 00:18:56,250
On Lot 32,
located on the western side
434
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:58,042
of Oak Island...
435
00:18:58,167 --> 00:18:59,851
This is like a little
Pandora's box of iron.
436
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:01,833
Gary Drayton and Jack Begley
437
00:19:01,958 --> 00:19:04,958
have just found a number
of potentially important clues.
438
00:19:05,042 --> 00:19:06,583
There we go. Come on.
439
00:19:10,708 --> 00:19:11,958
Whoo!
440
00:19:12,042 --> 00:19:13,833
Look at that one, Gary.
441
00:19:13,958 --> 00:19:16,000
That is fantastic.
442
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:18,542
That's a hefty spike.
443
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:20,333
Oh, wow.
444
00:19:20,458 --> 00:19:23,208
I'm not sure if it's a
tool or a wharf pin.
445
00:19:23,333 --> 00:19:25,708
- To me, this reminds me of a wharf pin.
- Oh.
446
00:19:25,833 --> 00:19:28,000
It's got that flat head.
447
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,125
It looks like it was made
448
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:32,208
to be driven into wood.
449
00:19:32,333 --> 00:19:35,375
So, a wharf pin, you
mean, to stick two pieces of
450
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:37,518
- wharf wood together and hold them? Yeah.
- Yeah, exactly.
451
00:19:37,542 --> 00:19:41,042
- I've seen how deep you've been digging, mate.
- Definitely.
452
00:19:41,167 --> 00:19:43,125
That's been there
one very long time.
453
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,500
Could Gary and Jack
454
00:19:45,583 --> 00:19:47,875
be correct that they
have found more evidence
455
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,500
of an ancient wharf?
456
00:19:49,667 --> 00:19:53,292
If so, might it be related
to the French cargo
457
00:19:53,375 --> 00:19:55,583
bag seal found two years ago?
458
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:59,458
And perhaps, also the
large, rectangular anomaly,
459
00:19:59,542 --> 00:20:02,625
located nearby on Lot 30?
460
00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:04,917
This is fantastic, mate.
461
00:20:05,042 --> 00:20:09,208
This is different kinds of
artifacts in one small area.
462
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:10,958
Typically, when you find things
463
00:20:11,083 --> 00:20:12,958
close together,
what-what do you think?
464
00:20:13,042 --> 00:20:14,500
- Are they related?
- Yeah.
465
00:20:14,667 --> 00:20:17,792
Normally, I think
activity, mate. Work.
466
00:20:17,875 --> 00:20:20,583
'Cause this could be a-a
loading and unloading zone.
467
00:20:20,708 --> 00:20:22,083
Yeah. Exactly.
468
00:20:22,208 --> 00:20:25,542
This could be, like, a
staging point, inland.
469
00:20:25,708 --> 00:20:28,625
Potentially, we could be
in an area, there could be
470
00:20:28,750 --> 00:20:30,333
a little encampment here.
471
00:20:30,458 --> 00:20:33,167
With a grouping of
finds, that tells me,
472
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:35,667
it's a place where people
473
00:20:35,833 --> 00:20:37,333
would've spent some time.
474
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:39,500
This might be the start
475
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:42,333
of something really, really big.
476
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:44,542
We just might be at
the tip of the iceberg.
477
00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:46,958
There could be so
much more deeper down,
478
00:20:47,042 --> 00:20:49,000
- as well.
- Yeah.
479
00:20:49,083 --> 00:20:50,851
All right, mate.
I'll put it in the bag.
480
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:51,875
Mm-hmm.
481
00:20:54,792 --> 00:20:56,500
The following morning...
482
00:20:58,542 --> 00:21:00,708
as preparations
for the reconstruction
483
00:21:00,833 --> 00:21:04,833
of the Garden Shaft in the
Money Pit area continue...
484
00:21:04,917 --> 00:21:06,375
Oh, look who's here.
485
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:08,375
Rick and Marty Lagina,
486
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,000
along with their
business partner,
487
00:21:10,125 --> 00:21:12,458
Craig Tester, arrive
at the Money Pit.
488
00:21:12,542 --> 00:21:14,667
Hey guys, good morning.
489
00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:16,351
- What's going on? -Hey, guys.
- Craig. Marty. Rick.
490
00:21:16,375 --> 00:21:17,667
Good to see you.
491
00:21:17,792 --> 00:21:18,625
After being alerted
492
00:21:18,708 --> 00:21:19,958
to a potentially
493
00:21:20,042 --> 00:21:21,958
important find in a new borehole
494
00:21:22,083 --> 00:21:24,000
known as D-17.
495
00:21:24,125 --> 00:21:28,000
Here, they are hoping to
continue tracking the path
496
00:21:28,125 --> 00:21:32,417
of a tunnel discovered one
day ago in borehole L-16,
497
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:36,417
some 106 feet deep,
which they believe may be
498
00:21:36,542 --> 00:21:38,833
heading toward the Garden Shaft.
499
00:21:38,917 --> 00:21:41,500
We've got some
interesting stuff in an area
500
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:42,833
that we've never found things.
501
00:21:42,958 --> 00:21:45,083
D-17,
502
00:21:45,208 --> 00:21:47,708
from 70 to 71.5,
503
00:21:47,833 --> 00:21:48,917
intersected some wood.
504
00:21:49,042 --> 00:21:50,667
Oh.
505
00:21:50,750 --> 00:21:52,809
- Relatively shallow.
- Unusually shallow.
506
00:21:52,833 --> 00:21:54,833
It's odd that it's
at that depth.
507
00:21:54,917 --> 00:21:56,792
So, it's spread out
over quite a bit, and
508
00:21:56,917 --> 00:21:58,851
you can see there's more
than just those few little chunks.
509
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:01,417
We clipped the edge
of... and broke up a beam,
510
00:22:01,542 --> 00:22:04,167
I would say. It
seemed to break into
511
00:22:04,333 --> 00:22:05,875
six blocks that
looked just about
512
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,583
like what you have in
your hand there, Marty.
513
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:11,208
That looks
like an old, broken edge.
514
00:22:11,333 --> 00:22:12,875
Like they caught it, an end
515
00:22:13,042 --> 00:22:14,375
of a beam or something.
516
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:17,208
This is 68 to 72.
517
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:18,917
That's that section
we have there.
518
00:22:19,042 --> 00:22:22,083
Below that, in that same
hole, very soft material.
519
00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:24,333
There was no wood
left or right of it.
520
00:22:24,458 --> 00:22:26,833
I think we're into
another tunnel.
521
00:22:27,917 --> 00:22:30,083
This might be
completely unknown.
522
00:22:30,208 --> 00:22:31,292
Yeah.
523
00:22:31,417 --> 00:22:33,042
Well, this is a new find.
524
00:22:33,167 --> 00:22:35,542
It's a good indication that
525
00:22:35,667 --> 00:22:38,125
we've got, you know,
something going on in this area.
526
00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:39,667
Right.
527
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:42,500
This presents another
unique opportunity,
528
00:22:42,583 --> 00:22:45,125
and that is that if we find
529
00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:47,417
a tunnel, and we
get a bearing off of it,
530
00:22:47,542 --> 00:22:49,375
and it leads uphill,
531
00:22:49,542 --> 00:22:52,292
then that presents a
very unique opportunity
532
00:22:52,375 --> 00:22:54,875
to run a series of
holes with the sonic drill.
533
00:22:55,042 --> 00:22:56,542
That's the idea.
534
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:58,307
If you find a
tunnel going upwards,
535
00:22:58,375 --> 00:22:59,958
it almost has to be
an offset chamber.
536
00:23:00,042 --> 00:23:01,601
There's no point in
having an upward-facing
537
00:23:01,625 --> 00:23:03,167
- tunnel, is there?
- No.
538
00:23:03,292 --> 00:23:04,333
So, yeah.
539
00:23:04,458 --> 00:23:05,875
I-I would want to follow that.
540
00:23:07,375 --> 00:23:10,542
For more than two
centuries, generations of searchers
541
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:12,333
have been thwarted by seawater
542
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:14,500
flooding their efforts
whenever they dug below
543
00:23:14,583 --> 00:23:16,417
the 90-foot level.
544
00:23:16,542 --> 00:23:18,667
This has led the Oak Island team
545
00:23:18,833 --> 00:23:20,500
to suspect that the treasure
546
00:23:20,583 --> 00:23:22,917
is most likely located
in a much shallower,
547
00:23:23,042 --> 00:23:24,792
offset chamber.
548
00:23:24,875 --> 00:23:27,333
This was unexpected.
549
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:29,458
This is a previously
unknown tunnel.
550
00:23:29,542 --> 00:23:31,542
We're close to
either excavations
551
00:23:31,708 --> 00:23:34,417
or constructions we're
unaware of, and the most exciting
552
00:23:34,542 --> 00:23:36,750
construction would be
553
00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:38,708
an offset chamber
that holds the treasure.
554
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:41,667
I've been a big believer
in an offset chamber,
555
00:23:41,833 --> 00:23:45,333
and if it only went to 70
feet, that would be about right.
556
00:23:45,458 --> 00:23:47,542
Could Marty be correct,
557
00:23:47,667 --> 00:23:49,458
that this possible tunnel
558
00:23:49,583 --> 00:23:51,792
might lead to the
fabled treasure vault?
559
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:55,000
If so, could it
also be connected
560
00:23:55,125 --> 00:23:56,458
to the Garden Shaft,
561
00:23:56,542 --> 00:23:58,875
which sets just 20 feet away,
562
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,167
and where high
trace evidence of gold
563
00:24:01,292 --> 00:24:02,958
has recently been detected?
564
00:24:05,042 --> 00:24:08,667
Because we have... hold such
promise in the Garden Shaft,
565
00:24:08,792 --> 00:24:10,917
once we get to the bottom
of that Garden Shaft,
566
00:24:11,042 --> 00:24:13,958
we can do vertical
and horizontal probing.
567
00:24:14,042 --> 00:24:16,667
If we find this
568
00:24:16,792 --> 00:24:19,708
at the bottom of that
shaft as we probe out,
569
00:24:19,833 --> 00:24:23,333
there may be a way to tunnel
to it and find out what it is.
570
00:24:23,458 --> 00:24:25,667
Is it your upward chamber?
571
00:24:25,792 --> 00:24:28,083
From that perspective,
it's incredibly exciting.
572
00:24:28,208 --> 00:24:29,667
Yeah.
573
00:24:29,792 --> 00:24:31,333
A lot of promise in
this area for sure.
574
00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:33,333
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay.
575
00:24:33,458 --> 00:24:34,792
All right.
576
00:24:34,917 --> 00:24:36,517
And there's the wood
we've got from D-17.
577
00:24:36,625 --> 00:24:38,018
There is it, there's
the chunk we're
578
00:24:38,042 --> 00:24:40,125
- gonna send away and carbon-14.
- Okay.
579
00:24:40,208 --> 00:24:42,250
That's good. Something new.
580
00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:45,000
- Let's keep going.
- All right.
581
00:24:48,042 --> 00:24:50,042
Later that afternoon...
582
00:24:50,167 --> 00:24:51,333
Gary.
583
00:24:51,458 --> 00:24:52,476
- You got something good?
- Yep.
584
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,000
Okay, bring it over here.
585
00:24:54,083 --> 00:24:56,000
Rick, Marty, and archeologist
586
00:24:56,125 --> 00:24:59,292
Laird Niven meet with Gary
Drayton and Jack Begley
587
00:24:59,375 --> 00:25:00,833
in the Interpretive Centre
588
00:25:00,917 --> 00:25:03,083
to inspect the
numerous discoveries
589
00:25:03,208 --> 00:25:06,083
made one day ago on Lot 32.
590
00:25:06,208 --> 00:25:08,792
This one came up first.
591
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:13,000
A nice piece of, uh, decorated,
592
00:25:13,083 --> 00:25:16,333
iron plate, I
guess you'd call it.
593
00:25:16,417 --> 00:25:18,833
And it led to
even better things.
594
00:25:18,958 --> 00:25:21,333
It's got crisscrossed lines.
595
00:25:21,458 --> 00:25:23,208
Yeah.
596
00:25:23,333 --> 00:25:24,958
Strength.
597
00:25:25,042 --> 00:25:26,792
Decoration.
598
00:25:26,917 --> 00:25:29,458
Part of a stove, maybe?
599
00:25:29,542 --> 00:25:31,059
It's kind of what it
feels like, isn't it?
600
00:25:31,083 --> 00:25:33,000
- Yeah, that's where we went.
- Oh, that's cool.
601
00:25:33,167 --> 00:25:34,625
Probably part of a stove.
602
00:25:34,708 --> 00:25:36,667
- All right.
- And it was quite deep.
603
00:25:36,792 --> 00:25:38,542
And then we started
digging deeper.
604
00:25:40,208 --> 00:25:41,250
Hmm.
605
00:25:41,375 --> 00:25:42,833
And we found these two pieces.
606
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:45,375
- Very similar.
- Pins of some sort.
607
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,042
What do you guess?
608
00:25:47,167 --> 00:25:51,458
Some kind of fasteners,
unless they're chisels.
609
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:54,500
So, if they were
fasteners, that's where
610
00:25:54,625 --> 00:25:55,792
they broke off.
611
00:25:55,875 --> 00:25:57,375
- Yeah.
- Well, they're massive,
612
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:59,375
whatever they are.
613
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:01,958
And we found this.
614
00:26:03,625 --> 00:26:05,542
This is my favorite.
615
00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:07,250
Look at that.
616
00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:09,000
That's beautiful.
617
00:26:09,125 --> 00:26:10,726
Gary thought that it
could be a wharf pin.
618
00:26:10,750 --> 00:26:12,630
Yeah, but based on what
Carmen Legge has told us
619
00:26:12,708 --> 00:26:14,167
previously, I think
that's too thick
620
00:26:14,250 --> 00:26:16,083
and not long enough.
621
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:17,726
- I think this is one of those rock chisels.
- Yeah.
622
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:19,143
I'm hoping.
It's been pounded on.
623
00:26:19,167 --> 00:26:20,708
Begs the question,
what were they doing
624
00:26:20,833 --> 00:26:22,208
inland from the beach?
625
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:24,792
We've got so many iron objects.
626
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:27,500
Finding them is one thing,
627
00:26:27,625 --> 00:26:29,333
having them tell a
story is quite another.
628
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,833
Gary shows up in the lab
629
00:26:31,958 --> 00:26:35,208
over here with some very
significant finds from Lot 32.
630
00:26:35,333 --> 00:26:37,417
And it's very intriguing because
631
00:26:37,542 --> 00:26:39,208
there's an awful lot of stuff,
632
00:26:39,375 --> 00:26:40,958
metal stuff in this one spot.
633
00:26:41,042 --> 00:26:43,125
And these all came
out of one hole?
634
00:26:43,208 --> 00:26:44,684
Like how big? Like a
big, giant hole or how big?
635
00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:46,583
Uh, it was deep,
636
00:26:46,708 --> 00:26:49,000
it was maybe a few feet wide.
637
00:26:49,125 --> 00:26:50,625
And we need probably
638
00:26:50,750 --> 00:26:52,833
mechanical means
of digging it up.
639
00:26:52,917 --> 00:26:54,875
I know you're parsimonious
640
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,018
about the use of such things,
but can I bring the backhoe?
641
00:26:57,042 --> 00:26:59,917
- Absolutely.
- All right. Well, let's go.
642
00:27:00,042 --> 00:27:02,083
Let's go find out
what else is out there.
643
00:27:02,208 --> 00:27:03,292
Excellent.
644
00:27:06,958 --> 00:27:09,375
Should be good,
eh? Ready, Bill. Bring it up.
645
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,000
- Keep pumping.
- Yeah.
646
00:27:12,167 --> 00:27:16,042
As representatives
from Dumas Contracting Limited,
647
00:27:16,208 --> 00:27:18,583
and members of
the Oak Island team
648
00:27:18,708 --> 00:27:20,792
continue their work
in the Money Pit area...
649
00:27:20,917 --> 00:27:23,458
I guess we keep going then.
650
00:27:23,583 --> 00:27:27,500
Rick and Marty
Lagina, and other members of the team
651
00:27:27,583 --> 00:27:29,667
arrive on Lot 32.
652
00:27:29,833 --> 00:27:30,833
Where am I digging?
653
00:27:30,875 --> 00:27:32,667
Right here, Marty.
654
00:27:32,792 --> 00:27:34,375
Under the supervision
655
00:27:34,542 --> 00:27:36,000
of archaeologist Laird Niven,
656
00:27:36,083 --> 00:27:39,958
they are about to conduct
a larger excavation,
657
00:27:40,042 --> 00:27:43,667
where Gary Drayton and
Jack Begley have found new,
658
00:27:43,833 --> 00:27:46,250
compelling evidence
of an ancient wharf
659
00:27:46,375 --> 00:27:48,750
some 200 yards from the remains
660
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:51,875
of a potential encampment
nearby on Lot 30.
661
00:27:56,375 --> 00:27:57,667
All right, mate,
this is the hole
662
00:27:57,792 --> 00:27:59,583
where we dug the
iron artifacts out.
663
00:27:59,708 --> 00:28:01,833
Got it. Okay.
664
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,792
I'm gonna put the
spoils on that side
665
00:28:03,917 --> 00:28:05,518
because it'd be hard to
push them back from this side.
666
00:28:05,542 --> 00:28:06,458
Okay.
667
00:28:06,542 --> 00:28:09,083
Okay. Have at it.
668
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:15,292
With all things associated with
archeology, Laird is in charge,
669
00:28:15,417 --> 00:28:18,708
but he's allowing
us to dig in this area.
670
00:28:18,875 --> 00:28:21,667
Marty's going to
take the backhoe
671
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,833
and remove the soils gradually.
672
00:28:23,958 --> 00:28:26,833
Gary will get in
and metal detect.
673
00:28:26,958 --> 00:28:28,375
And Laird will supervise.
674
00:28:30,125 --> 00:28:32,042
Are you getting any other hits?
675
00:28:32,208 --> 00:28:35,500
Nothing worth
investigating at the moment.
676
00:28:35,625 --> 00:28:38,292
We do know there's
some older stuff deeper.
677
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:42,333
Marty, around like here
is the original grade.
678
00:28:43,292 --> 00:28:45,542
More? Do you
want to get in the hole?
679
00:28:45,708 --> 00:28:47,083
Do you want to jump in there?
680
00:28:47,208 --> 00:28:48,042
Yep.
681
00:28:48,208 --> 00:28:50,250
Coming in.
682
00:28:54,250 --> 00:28:56,268
I think there's all
kinds of stuff in there.
683
00:28:56,292 --> 00:28:57,583
Yeah, there is.
684
00:28:59,875 --> 00:29:01,250
That sounds like a good signal.
685
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:03,667
Hey, all right!
686
00:29:03,833 --> 00:29:05,208
Two-way repeatable.
687
00:29:07,208 --> 00:29:09,375
Let's see if it's in
pinpointing range.
688
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:13,750
Yep, we're on it.
689
00:29:14,917 --> 00:29:17,917
That is lead sheathing.
690
00:29:18,042 --> 00:29:20,625
- Is it really?
- Yeah, that's lead sheathing.
691
00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:22,500
300-year-old duct tape.
692
00:29:22,625 --> 00:29:24,000
- Yep.
- Yep.
693
00:29:24,125 --> 00:29:26,208
- Or older.
- Yeah.
694
00:29:26,375 --> 00:29:28,667
I think the lead's got
something to do with shipping.
695
00:29:28,792 --> 00:29:30,000
- Me, too.
- Yeah.
696
00:29:30,125 --> 00:29:33,000
Lead
sheathing? Found in an area
697
00:29:33,167 --> 00:29:36,250
where the team has previously
discovered evidence of a wharf?
698
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:41,125
Dating back to the 3rd
century BC in ancient Greece,
699
00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:44,667
lead was commonly used
in the construction and repair
700
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:47,833
of sailing vessels due to
its versatility and resistance
701
00:29:47,958 --> 00:29:50,417
to corrosion during
long journeys at sea.
702
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:53,333
Yeah, that's a
nice piece of lead.
703
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:55,042
Mm-hmm.
704
00:29:55,167 --> 00:29:57,167
They used to
line the hulls of old
705
00:29:57,333 --> 00:29:59,333
sailing ships with
lead sheathing.
706
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:01,042
So, it might actually be
707
00:30:01,167 --> 00:30:02,833
- a really significant find.
- Yeah.
708
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,917
Could this
piece of lead sheathing
709
00:30:05,042 --> 00:30:06,917
offer more evidence of a ship
710
00:30:07,042 --> 00:30:09,333
visiting Oak Island long ago?
711
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,333
I ain't finished yet, either.
712
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:13,167
If so, what else
713
00:30:13,292 --> 00:30:16,292
might the team find to
explain just who was here?
714
00:30:16,375 --> 00:30:20,208
When? And what else
they may have left behind?
715
00:30:21,167 --> 00:30:23,042
Oh, ho, ho, what is that?
716
00:30:24,208 --> 00:30:25,333
Any ideas?
717
00:30:27,708 --> 00:30:30,000
That almost looks like a handle.
718
00:30:30,083 --> 00:30:33,667
Flat iron.
Some kind of ridge on it.
719
00:30:33,792 --> 00:30:36,458
Could be off, like,
a little ship's stove.
720
00:30:36,542 --> 00:30:37,583
Yeah.
721
00:30:37,708 --> 00:30:39,958
I'd keep digging.
722
00:30:40,083 --> 00:30:41,583
There could be more down here.
723
00:30:41,708 --> 00:30:44,792
- Yeah.
- Okay, coming out.
724
00:30:44,875 --> 00:30:46,667
We know that
725
00:30:46,833 --> 00:30:49,000
a number of finds on Lot 32
726
00:30:49,167 --> 00:30:52,417
have been associated
with maritime activity.
727
00:30:52,542 --> 00:30:54,792
I.E., the lead bag seal,
728
00:30:54,875 --> 00:30:57,750
wharf pins, ship spikes.
729
00:30:57,875 --> 00:30:59,667
Might there be a
connection there?
730
00:30:59,833 --> 00:31:01,583
Certainly possible.
731
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:03,333
That's the hope.
732
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:07,667
Look at that.
733
00:31:07,792 --> 00:31:09,167
What is it?
734
00:31:09,250 --> 00:31:11,292
- Oh.
- It looks like some kind of tool.
735
00:31:11,417 --> 00:31:13,875
- Look at this, Laird.
- Any ideas, Laird?
736
00:31:15,583 --> 00:31:17,875
I think it's hand-forged.
737
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:19,792
That's just got an
old feel about it.
738
00:31:19,917 --> 00:31:22,167
- Yeah.
- All of these artifacts we're
739
00:31:22,250 --> 00:31:24,667
pulling out of this
hole, totally different.
740
00:31:24,792 --> 00:31:27,167
- If you wanted to prove that something went on...
- Yeah.
741
00:31:27,292 --> 00:31:28,667
This is the way to do it.
742
00:31:28,750 --> 00:31:30,150
I'm sure we're gonna
find some more.
743
00:31:31,167 --> 00:31:33,375
One encouraging
sign with this pile of metal
744
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,792
that we're finding on Lot
32 is that Lot 32 is very close
745
00:31:36,917 --> 00:31:39,375
to Lot 30 where there
is some sort of anomaly.
746
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,792
Why are all these
artifacts showing up?
747
00:31:43,708 --> 00:31:45,917
A big chunk of iron.
748
00:31:46,042 --> 00:31:47,833
But there's still
more down there.
749
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,434
I mean, every
time Gary waves his
750
00:31:49,458 --> 00:31:52,833
magic wand, another
piece of metal comes out.
751
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,500
Ooh, this is exciting.
752
00:31:55,667 --> 00:31:58,458
You'd do this all day and
all night long, wouldn't you?
753
00:31:58,542 --> 00:32:00,333
Yeah, I could.
754
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:02,340
The hope is that
these are puzzle pieces
755
00:32:02,375 --> 00:32:03,518
that help explain what
happened on this island.
756
00:32:03,542 --> 00:32:04,542
That's the hope.
757
00:32:06,375 --> 00:32:07,708
What is that?
758
00:32:07,875 --> 00:32:10,583
It's a smorgasbord of artifacts.
759
00:32:10,708 --> 00:32:12,417
That what it is, mate.
760
00:32:12,542 --> 00:32:14,958
And this whole area has enough
metal in it to keep you busy
761
00:32:15,083 --> 00:32:17,167
- for the rest of your life.
- Yeah.
762
00:32:17,292 --> 00:32:19,167
Can we take another
shovel-full out of there?
763
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:21,125
I vote yes.
764
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:23,333
You can take as much
fill off as you want. Yeah.
765
00:32:23,458 --> 00:32:27,500
This has been
an amazing experience.
766
00:32:27,667 --> 00:32:30,542
The more we dig in this
hole, the more we find.
767
00:32:30,708 --> 00:32:33,833
It's painting a clear picture
768
00:32:33,958 --> 00:32:35,184
that there was a lot of activity
769
00:32:35,208 --> 00:32:38,042
on the edge of Lot 32.
770
00:32:38,208 --> 00:32:41,542
Look at that. Cooking pot, mate?
771
00:32:41,708 --> 00:32:43,125
Probably a piece
off a fireplace.
772
00:32:43,208 --> 00:32:45,917
- Nice.
- Just so many pieces.
773
00:32:46,042 --> 00:32:49,708
This could potentially
be a very important site.
774
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:53,500
Have at 'er.
775
00:32:54,917 --> 00:32:56,375
Going in the hole.
776
00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:59,458
Find something good, Gary.
777
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:04,750
What's that reading?
778
00:33:04,875 --> 00:33:06,208
It's tough to tell on this.
779
00:33:06,333 --> 00:33:08,333
Sounded good.
780
00:33:11,375 --> 00:33:14,375
Something
wedged underneath here.
781
00:33:14,542 --> 00:33:17,708
This might be
something really cool.
782
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,542
Wow.
783
00:33:23,708 --> 00:33:26,042
What the heck is this?
784
00:33:33,042 --> 00:33:34,559
Do you want
to check this out, Jack?
785
00:33:34,583 --> 00:33:38,000
- Yeah.
- Look at the scalloped design on it.
786
00:33:38,125 --> 00:33:39,458
On Lot 32,
787
00:33:39,542 --> 00:33:42,292
while excavating a
site where a number of
788
00:33:42,375 --> 00:33:44,958
mysterious metal artifacts
has recently been found,
789
00:33:45,042 --> 00:33:47,125
near the remains
of an old wharf...
790
00:33:47,208 --> 00:33:49,333
Wow, that's gorgeous.
791
00:33:49,458 --> 00:33:51,750
The team has just
made another potentially
792
00:33:51,875 --> 00:33:54,083
important discovery.
793
00:33:54,208 --> 00:33:56,042
I think there's parts
of a stove here.
794
00:33:56,208 --> 00:33:57,667
You think it's to a stove?
795
00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:58,750
Yeah. Probably.
796
00:33:58,875 --> 00:33:59,750
You might be able to put
797
00:33:59,875 --> 00:34:01,208
some of these pieces together.
798
00:34:01,333 --> 00:34:03,542
Yeah. Now you're cooking.
799
00:34:05,042 --> 00:34:06,292
And we're not done yet.
800
00:34:12,458 --> 00:34:14,083
That sounds sweet!
801
00:34:14,208 --> 00:34:16,167
That's a different sound.
802
00:34:17,917 --> 00:34:19,018
Something in this area.
803
00:34:23,083 --> 00:34:24,708
That is sweet sounding.
804
00:34:27,917 --> 00:34:31,042
Oh, look at that! That's nice.
805
00:34:31,167 --> 00:34:32,875
That's like an old strap.
806
00:34:33,042 --> 00:34:35,208
Wow.
807
00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:41,458
What is that? A
strap? Look at this.
808
00:34:43,708 --> 00:34:47,458
What do you think that's a
strap to, Laird? Any idea?
809
00:34:47,542 --> 00:34:49,083
No.
810
00:34:50,750 --> 00:34:52,208
It could be to a chest.
811
00:34:52,375 --> 00:34:53,667
Quite possible.
812
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:56,292
Are these
maritime-related objects?
813
00:34:56,375 --> 00:34:59,042
This is a possible
strap to a chest.
814
00:34:59,167 --> 00:35:03,000
Well, it certainly fits
into the treasure story.
815
00:35:03,125 --> 00:35:05,958
The facts are we've
made significant finds
816
00:35:06,042 --> 00:35:09,333
at a very specific location,
and we have the kind of science
817
00:35:09,458 --> 00:35:12,375
necessary to try to understand
what these items are.
818
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:15,208
And then you can speculate.
819
00:35:15,333 --> 00:35:18,042
- There was probably a wharf here.
- Exactly.
820
00:35:18,167 --> 00:35:19,833
Might help explain
some of these finds.
821
00:35:19,958 --> 00:35:21,625
Everything is tied together.
822
00:35:21,708 --> 00:35:24,333
You just have to keep
layering things to derive
823
00:35:24,458 --> 00:35:26,333
all the information
possible from a site.
824
00:35:26,458 --> 00:35:30,792
This has been a pretty
successful dig, eh?
825
00:35:30,875 --> 00:35:33,500
I think I'd like to take some of
the artifacts back, get Emma
826
00:35:33,625 --> 00:35:37,250
to CT scan them and kind
of evaluate what's going on.
827
00:35:37,375 --> 00:35:42,208
What interests us about Lot
32 is really the number of finds
828
00:35:42,333 --> 00:35:45,250
that Gary was getting
from one particular spot.
829
00:35:45,375 --> 00:35:47,417
There's an incredible variety.
830
00:35:47,542 --> 00:35:49,667
- No doubt about that.
- Yep.
831
00:35:49,750 --> 00:35:51,667
The agreement
we have with the province
832
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:54,583
is that if Gary finds a
concentration of artifacts,
833
00:35:54,708 --> 00:35:57,917
we'll go in and set up
a test unit in that area
834
00:35:58,042 --> 00:36:01,458
and determine whether or
not those finds are significant.
835
00:36:01,542 --> 00:36:04,250
If you could just
clean up the loose...
836
00:36:04,375 --> 00:36:07,167
I'll try not to dig any
deeper. I'll just clean this.
837
00:36:07,333 --> 00:36:08,958
Yup. Yeah, and
then we'll come back
838
00:36:09,042 --> 00:36:11,708
with our trowels
and set up a unit.
839
00:36:11,833 --> 00:36:13,083
Good. All right.
840
00:36:13,208 --> 00:36:15,917
It's a mini treasure
trove of items here.
841
00:36:16,042 --> 00:36:17,542
God, I love this place!
842
00:36:24,042 --> 00:36:25,667
Two days later...
843
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:27,125
Maybe we'll get some bedrock
844
00:36:27,250 --> 00:36:28,500
way over here.
845
00:36:28,625 --> 00:36:29,825
As work continues
846
00:36:29,875 --> 00:36:31,042
up in the Money Pit area...
847
00:36:31,167 --> 00:36:33,167
Hey! Hey, guys!
848
00:36:33,292 --> 00:36:34,893
Rick and
other members of the team
849
00:36:34,917 --> 00:36:36,542
gather in the war room
850
00:36:36,667 --> 00:36:39,917
to meet via video conference
with Marty and Craig.
851
00:36:40,042 --> 00:36:42,000
So, Craig, explain to everybody,
852
00:36:42,125 --> 00:36:45,292
we have the wood samples
in front of us here on the table.
853
00:36:45,417 --> 00:36:50,125
- I believe you have the results from the lab.
- Yep.
854
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,333
Craig has just received
855
00:36:52,458 --> 00:36:54,500
the carbon-14 test results
856
00:36:54,583 --> 00:36:57,250
from the wood samples
recovered earlier this week
857
00:36:57,375 --> 00:37:01,667
from borehole L-16
at a depth of 106 feet,
858
00:37:01,792 --> 00:37:04,333
and in borehole D-17
859
00:37:04,458 --> 00:37:06,875
at a depth of just 70 feet.
860
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,542
It's good
information. For the L-16...
861
00:37:11,667 --> 00:37:14,667
This was the tunnel
found at 107 feet.
862
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:20,375
52% from 1724 to 1812.
863
00:37:22,083 --> 00:37:27,292
21.8% from 1648 to 1695.
864
00:37:27,375 --> 00:37:30,500
We can eliminate the 1900s
865
00:37:30,583 --> 00:37:33,333
because we know
historically there wasn't any
866
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:36,417
tunnels out in that
direction at that time period.
867
00:37:36,542 --> 00:37:39,500
50% at least in
periods that could not
868
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:41,542
be searcher, is that right?
869
00:37:41,667 --> 00:37:43,583
Correct. More than
that I would say.
870
00:37:43,708 --> 00:37:45,667
Nobody was tunneling
around at 100 feet
871
00:37:45,792 --> 00:37:47,167
at that time period.
872
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,792
No, it doesn't make sense.
873
00:37:51,708 --> 00:37:54,542
Craig, you have one more report?
874
00:37:54,708 --> 00:37:56,708
Yeah, I sure do.
875
00:37:56,833 --> 00:38:00,375
The other one is
D-17, where it looks like
876
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:02,292
we hit a tunnel at 70 feet.
877
00:38:02,375 --> 00:38:07,375
The results are
almost identical: 49.9%
878
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:11,125
from 1722 to 1814,
879
00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:15,208
19.2% from 1656
880
00:38:15,375 --> 00:38:17,750
to 1698.
881
00:38:17,875 --> 00:38:20,625
It's a very odd
data point at 70 feet.
882
00:38:20,750 --> 00:38:23,000
You know, the
majority of it puts it
883
00:38:23,167 --> 00:38:25,833
pre-searcher time period.
884
00:38:29,208 --> 00:38:30,292
That's pretty cool.
885
00:38:34,875 --> 00:38:35,875
Wow.
886
00:38:36,625 --> 00:38:38,333
In the Oak Island war room,
887
00:38:38,458 --> 00:38:40,667
Craig Tester has just
shared carbon-14 results
888
00:38:40,833 --> 00:38:43,750
from two different
boreholes that may date back
889
00:38:43,875 --> 00:38:48,458
approximately a century before
the discovery of the Money Pit.
890
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:51,250
I mean, the really odd thing
about this is the 70-foot depth.
891
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:54,667
You know, why was
anybody at that depth?
892
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:56,670
At that depth, it
doesn't seem to correlate
893
00:38:56,750 --> 00:39:00,375
with a searcher's effort to
get to the treasure chamber.
894
00:39:00,542 --> 00:39:02,333
- Yeah.
- Could the test results
895
00:39:02,458 --> 00:39:04,542
from borehole L-16
896
00:39:04,708 --> 00:39:07,792
and borehole D-17,
which sets just 20 feet
897
00:39:07,917 --> 00:39:09,792
from the Garden Shaft
898
00:39:09,917 --> 00:39:12,500
and a possible
vast deposit of gold,
899
00:39:12,625 --> 00:39:15,500
mean that the team is
close to a major breakthrough
900
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:19,500
in solving the
227-year-old mystery?
901
00:39:19,625 --> 00:39:22,583
We don't have anybody
looking at 70 feet, do we?
902
00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:24,958
Anywhere in the
historical record. Do we?
903
00:39:25,083 --> 00:39:26,625
- Correct.
- That is correct.
904
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:27,500
Could be
related to the Garden Shaft
905
00:39:27,667 --> 00:39:29,167
just strictly based on depth.
906
00:39:29,292 --> 00:39:31,667
We know the Garden Shaft
bottoms out at 77 and a half feet.
907
00:39:31,833 --> 00:39:33,417
It would make
sense to tunnel out.
908
00:39:33,542 --> 00:39:34,375
That's great.
909
00:39:34,542 --> 00:39:35,458
I think that's the most
910
00:39:35,542 --> 00:39:37,167
interesting result of all,
911
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,917
because at 70 feet it almost
has to be an offset chamber.
912
00:39:40,042 --> 00:39:41,167
That's right.
913
00:39:41,292 --> 00:39:42,750
D-17 may lead
914
00:39:42,875 --> 00:39:44,667
to what my brother
has often described
915
00:39:44,750 --> 00:39:47,000
as an offset chamber
where treasure is deposited.
916
00:39:47,083 --> 00:39:48,333
Is it exciting?
917
00:39:48,458 --> 00:39:49,667
Absolutely.
918
00:39:49,833 --> 00:39:51,667
Marty's offset chamber within
919
00:39:51,833 --> 00:39:54,417
20 feet of the Garden
Shaft? Could be.
920
00:39:54,542 --> 00:39:58,708
Because of the indications
of some human activity
921
00:39:58,875 --> 00:40:01,333
at a depth and an area
previously unknown to us,
922
00:40:01,458 --> 00:40:04,333
there's obviously the chance
that you'll find the one thing.
923
00:40:04,458 --> 00:40:06,500
I mean, nothing would
be better than that.
924
00:40:06,667 --> 00:40:08,000
But that's what this island is.
925
00:40:08,167 --> 00:40:10,500
It's an island of
what-ifs and possibilities,
926
00:40:10,667 --> 00:40:12,542
and you have to chase them all.
927
00:40:13,583 --> 00:40:15,792
What's interesting
is we continue to be
928
00:40:15,875 --> 00:40:17,708
mesmerized by the
Oak Island mystery.
929
00:40:17,875 --> 00:40:19,750
It's complex. It's difficult.
930
00:40:19,875 --> 00:40:22,250
And we just have
to follow the data.
931
00:40:22,375 --> 00:40:23,792
Yes. Exactly.
932
00:40:23,875 --> 00:40:27,417
And the data continues
to be quite provocative.
933
00:40:27,542 --> 00:40:28,417
- Yeah.
- Yep.
934
00:40:28,542 --> 00:40:30,625
So, let's start
935
00:40:30,750 --> 00:40:32,542
getting some real answers.
936
00:40:33,333 --> 00:40:35,875
- Yep.
- So, thank you, guys.
937
00:40:36,042 --> 00:40:37,250
We'll see you later.
938
00:40:37,375 --> 00:40:38,667
Cheers, guys. Good job.
939
00:40:38,792 --> 00:40:40,625
- See you.
- Carry on.
940
00:40:40,750 --> 00:40:43,167
As another incredible week
941
00:40:43,333 --> 00:40:44,958
comes to an end on Oak Island,
942
00:40:45,042 --> 00:40:49,167
Rick, Marty, Craig and
their team have collected
943
00:40:49,292 --> 00:40:53,000
more key pieces to help
complete the Oak Island puzzle.
944
00:40:53,125 --> 00:40:55,958
With meaningful new
discoveries in the Money Pit area,
945
00:40:56,042 --> 00:40:58,667
and on the western
side of the island,
946
00:40:58,833 --> 00:41:01,833
could they now be on
the verge of identifying
947
00:41:01,958 --> 00:41:06,083
just who was behind
the 227-year-old mystery?
948
00:41:06,208 --> 00:41:10,583
And as they prepare for
their most ambitious dig yet,
949
00:41:10,708 --> 00:41:14,500
will a fabled vault of
riches that were left behind
950
00:41:14,625 --> 00:41:18,125
soon be within their reach?
951
00:41:19,833 --> 00:41:22,375
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
952
00:41:22,542 --> 00:41:23,559
- Oh, there we go.
- Wow.
953
00:41:23,583 --> 00:41:25,458
The heck is that?
954
00:41:25,542 --> 00:41:27,750
It was very common
during the middle 1700s.
955
00:41:27,875 --> 00:41:31,000
In 1746, King
Louis XV sent two ships
956
00:41:31,125 --> 00:41:34,042
to Oak Island, where they
later created the Money Pit.
957
00:41:34,208 --> 00:41:37,708
If we can find original
works at the base of this shaft,
958
00:41:37,833 --> 00:41:39,667
it may solve the mystery.
959
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:41,059
Oh, what's that? Whoa.
Whoa. What's that?
960
00:41:41,083 --> 00:41:42,643
That's a view down the tunnel.
961
00:41:42,708 --> 00:41:44,268
Is it possible that this
tunnel could lead to
962
00:41:44,292 --> 00:41:45,417
finding the treasure?
963
00:41:45,542 --> 00:41:46,833
The answer is unequivocally yes.
964
