All language subtitles for The.Curse.of.Oak.Island.S13E05.HDTV.X264-NGP

Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.

All right, well, this is the
neighborhood, guys. I mean, this is

Central. There's multiple evidence of
something happening here long ago.

Hopefully there's some old gold and
silver.

Look at that.

We've got a stone structure here.
Somebody piled those stones.

So somebody put this here. Somebody went
into some trouble.

It could be a 1500 hand cannon.

You were right, Gary.

There is an island in the North Atlantic
where people have been looking for an

incredible treasure for more than 200
years.

So far, they have found a stone slab
with strange symbols carved into it, man

-made workings that date to medieval
times, and a lead cross whose origin may

connected to the Knights Templar.

To date.

Six men have died trying to solve the
mystery.

And, according to legend, one more will
have to die before the treasure

can be found.

Terry, bring me up to speed, buddy.

Where are we?

Okay, we're on G4 .5. Right now we're
down 168 feet below break.

Seems he's dropping in there quite well.

Yeah, okay.

A new day of excitement and exploration
has begun on Oak Island for brothers

Rick and Marty Lagina and their team.

As far as our activities in the solution
channel, we're just getting started. We

got 168 all the way to 215 in this one,
Steve? 212, maybe. 212 at the bottom of

here. Yeah, okay.

Today, they are drilling a new borehole
called G4 .5 on their strategic grid in

the Money Pit area.

The team believes the treasure could
have fallen deep below ground here into

water and mud -filled cavern known as
the solution channel.

There was great treasure in the money
pit, and there still is a great treasure

in the money pit.

The clues are that there have been
collapses in the past, and it fell down

the solution channel.

I am more optimistic than ever that we
are going to find it.

All right, well, this is the
neighborhood, guys. Yeah.

If there was ever anything in the money
pit, and I'm becoming a believer that

there was. With the Pit Blado coin.

Yeah.

The team was recently presented with a
14th century silver Portuguese coin,

possibly connected to a branch of the
Knights Templar, and reportedly found in

the money pit by drilling foreman James
Pitt Blato in 1849.

Now the team hopes to find many more of
these coins as they drill in this area.

You've made significant discoveries
island wide, but it's the treasure

that has made this mystery endure for
230 years.

We're all here because we're solely
dedicated to solving the mystery of that

Oak Island.

I want to know that last page on the
Reader's Digest article. I want to know

what happened here. What is the story?

We're on track right now to get down
into the zone of interest.

Yeah. And how stoopy is it so far?
Because you know what I'm looking for.

there's density here.

There's a little bit of water, but
basically there's more rock and rubble

there is water.

We could get into better stuff.

Oh, no question about it. We're just
getting started.

Okay. I want to find where it's as
unconsolidated as can be, where

easily, you can picture it falling right
in there.

Yeah. Well, from the human heart, hope
springs eternal.

And it's springing right now for mine.

I mean, this thing should open up. We'll
see in this next one. Hopefully we'll

get into that slushy zone.

Okay. Now we wait.

Treasure central right here.

As the drilling operation continues in
the Money Pit area.

You know, I'm always happy to be back in
the lab because we learn so much here.

But particularly invested in this one
because the item before us, Billy, Gary,

and myself, we found that.

And we found it in one of my most
favorite places, the swamp.

Rick Lagina and other members of the
team join Laird Niven and Emma Culligan

the Oak Island lab.

We found the item before us in a very
interesting place, right across from the

paved area.

So I look forward to learning more about
it.

Emma and Laird have just finished
analyzing a possible fragment of a

found one week ago on the western side
of the swamp.

Just a few yards from a paved stone
feature uncovered back in 2019, and that

team believes is up to 800 years old.

When it first came out, I'm thinking
some kind of weight, and then when it

started drying out and you see the
weight taper down, I'm hoping it's some

of weapon.

Well... It was presented to us as a hand
cannon, I guess, which is a precursor

to flintlocks and matchlocks and wheel
locks.

That's going to make it pretty old, is
it not? It could if that's what it is.

Right.

Dating back to as early as the 12th
century, the hand cannon, or hand gun,

invented in China and is considered to
be the world's first true firearm.

By the 14th century, variations on the
weapon were developed in the Middle East

and Europe until they were replaced by
flintlock hand muskets and other

in the 15th century.

Maybe we talk about the metallurgy
first.

Sure. Okay.

So it's always hard to get a swamp
artifact -based metal because of all the

minerals that kind of really mold with
or just embed itself with the iron or

corrosion.

But I did get a few good points.

And from that composition, it's looking
fairly clean. Like, I'm not seeing a

wide range of impurities.

I am seeing a natural spike in sulfur
content.

And that's a good sign of, you know,
1700s or older. Because of the minimum

impurities, like, it's not forged in a
modern glass furnace. And could be

European in origin.

Yeah. And we should add that by the
1500s, those are going out of fashion.

Is it possible that this hand cannon
predates the discovery of the money pit

more than a century?

If so, just how old could it be?

And who left it here?

Is there a touch hole in that?

So I've done a CT scan.

This thing right here.

Oh, that's a touch -o.

You're talking about this little hole
here?

Yeah, exactly.

A hand cannon had just a little touch
hole where you would touch it to set

off the gunpowder inside, and then your
projectile would fly out.

So it's an unusual artifact found in a
very unusual area.

That's gorgeous from there.

I'll tell you, I've never been so
appreciative of the CT scanner as I am

now, in this moment. That is really
cool.

You were right, Gary.

This is something for a firearms expert
to weigh in on.

So what other secrets are in the bog? I
don't know. But right now, we're nowhere

near done.

I look forward to what else we can learn
about it.

And I'm sure your brother's going to be
happy we're spending more time in the

swamp, especially now.

A major find, Gary.

Yep. We should aim to find more.

I'm gunning for it.

All right, Gary, let's find some
treasure.

Here we go.

I'll wait until you take a few scoops
out.

Okay.

Following their meeting in the lab, Gary
and Billy return to the western region

of the swamp, along with Derek Couch, to
search for additional clues.

It takes us one good find, Derek.

One good find.

One thing.

Whenever

we've

searched in the swamp...

We have come away with some really,
really cool old artifacts, but one side

the swamp we haven't investigated a lot
is the western side.

Unfortunately, no, it's dirt.

Darn.

We're going to have a really good scan
around the area, and hopefully we can

clear a good find today.

I hear a big rock.

Come on, Billy. Bring me a bucket of
treasure.

Hey, Gary.

What have you seen, Billy?

Look at that!

What have you seen, Billy?

Is this a steak or a stick?

It looks like it could be a steak.

On the western side of the Oak Island
Swamp.

There you go.

The team has just uncovered new evidence
of man -made workings.

Look, there's a log here.

Yeah. Can you try that?

Yeah.

That's in there deep.

Do you want to try scooping it? I'll try
it straight back there a little bit,

maybe. Because it's in there.

That's it, look.

There's our piece.

It was on top of the clay.

Yeah, it's on top of the clay, and it
looks like it's peeled, right?

The bark is peeled off of it. The two
ends are cut, and the limbs are cut off

it, so somebody might have laid it in
there for something.

Yep. It actually looks like it could be
a road, because there's a lot of cut

wood here, and there's a lot of rocks
underneath it in the clay.

Yeah. This is like a corduroy road.

Yeah. A possible corduroy road?

First designed in Europe during the 11th
century, a corduroy road consists of

logs that are placed tightly together
and used to transport wagons and heavy

cargo across marshy environments.

We know that these logs were laid that
way, so someone is coming this

way into the swamp.

Right.

If Gary is correct that this feature is
a corduroy road, just who constructed

it, when, and what could they have been
moving into the swamp?

We found survey stakes.

We found the stone road. We found part
of the stone path on the edge of the

We have the so -called vault.

There's more rocks here, too, right?

Yeah. Perhaps we should follow this new
road. My hope is that there's another

vault. like structure.

Oh, yeah, what is that?

Coal.

Yeah, we found some coal.

Now, this is interesting because the
last time we found coal, it was on that

Portuguese stone road on the other side
of the swamp.

I'm pretty sure he found some in the
stone path too, yeah.

Is it possible that the team has found
another clue that might be connected to

the stone road uncovered in the
southeastern corner of the swamp, and

be of Portuguese origin?

Rick was interested if we find some
coal, because we'd be duplicating what

happened across the other side of the
swamp.

Okay, yep. It was just here.

Let me see if I can find some more.

That's a big piece.

Yep. We got some good samples. Yeah.

We got that right, mate.

Be interested to see if that's coal or
charcoal.

As the search in the swamp continues,
several hundred yards to the west on Lot

5.

What's this exciting thing there? Well,
it's kind of an unusual rock feature.

And it appears initially to be circular.

It is for sure. Yeah.

Marty joins other team members as they
investigate a strange stone feature

one week ago.

A feature located in the same area where
six ancient Roman coins were discovered

in recent years.

It could be any number of things.

Yeah. Okay, well, we've seen things like
this turn into something very

important. Yeah. I hope this one does.
Yeah. Well, I think the first order of

business is to... Clean off the sod and
delineate it a little bit more.

All right, well, let's get after him.
Give me a trowel. Let's go.

All right.

There you go.

Even though doing archaeology is not my
strong suit, nor is it something I

particularly enjoy.

There you go.

I'm starting to get intrigued.

We have found Roman coins near it.

So finding any construction where we
found the Roman coins, almost by

definition, is going to be interesting.

We have here a bunch of little rocks,
pointy little rocks. What is that

you? To me, that's not field clearing.

If you're a farmer, you're not doing
that.

They're not plowing that up.

That's way too angular. Yeah.

We've got this cleaned off, so we're
ready to remove rocks.

Excellent.

It's really amazing for me to think
about when I first saw Lot 5 so many

ago and seeing what it's evolved into
right now. Not only how large and

the stone structure is, but how unusual
a lot of the artifacts we're finding

are, like the beads and the buttons.

It's turned into something mysterious
and amazing to us.

That's all one rock?

Yeah.

That's not moving by hand, is it? No,
not even close.

And it needs to go?

I think it'd be interesting.

The soil's covering it, I found odd.

Okay, well, I'll go grab the backhoe and
see if I can find a way in here. Okay.

Okay, good.

The rocks are fragmented. They look like
they were put in there intentionally to

keep this feature very stable.

It's going to be a tight fit.

When I first saw this feature, I found
it very unusual.

Because there's a split stone sitting
upright.

It's pretty big. It's lifting the other
one up.

I haven't seen anything like the split
stone anywhere else on the island, so to

me the only explanation is that it's for
marking something or for reference.

And it's just adding another intriguing
page to the story of Lot 5.

Okay, and it's out.

We'll have to come in with trowels and
just clean it up.

Boy, these are jumbled up, pointy rocks.

Yep, yep. Like Lot 26.

Very similar to the wall, isn't it?
Yeah.

Which is pretty cool.

All very odd.

Hand -cut rocks, similar to those found
in the rock wall on Lot 26?

It's an intriguing observation for
several reasons.

First, the wall on Lot 26, located
several hundred yards to the southeast,

much larger than the numerous other
stone walls across the island that were

constructed by farmers and settlers
after the discovery of the money pit.

Second, Carbon dating of charcoal found
in the wall on Lodge 26 suggests it was

constructed as early as the 15th
century.

The rock wall.

And third, according to researcher
Francisco Nogueira, the wall may have a

distinct European origin.

This wall appears to be created in the
old Portuguese style of building rock

fences.

No way.

So somebody put this here. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah. Is it possible that the same
people constructed these two features?

It's worth continuing with our little
investigation, and it could have been

there for a reason. Yep. All right,
let's get back after it.

Okay.

As a new morning begins on Oak Island.

In this conclusion, someone dug a hole.

propped that rock up in it, and then
filled it in with smaller rocks.

Well, Laird and Marty are joined by Rick
and other members of the team to

continue investigating the strange
boulder and stone feature on Lot 5.

So for some reason, they needed that
showing.

If you look at the rocks themselves...
It's that same kind of rubble that was

the wall in Lot 26 that was dated to
1474 by charcoal.

Somebody went to some trouble. Yeah.

What is the orientation?

Really close to east -west.

Isn't the Lot 5 circular feature east
-west?

Yeah.

The long axis.

And if you know Templar Freemasonry,
it's always east -west. Everything is

oriented east -west. The orientation
of...

The building, the structure, had
importance to them on these trips to

beyond.

Every building we've encountered, every
structure that was Templar -influenced,

Templar -built, was oriented east -west.

And Laird is saying that this stone face
is oriented east -west.

I find that to be quite remarkable,
exceedingly interesting.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Gotcha.

Terry, how are you?

Oh,

and he's got his pick with him. He's got
his hammer.

All right, Terry, we've got questions.

Number one is, what do you make of that?

Well, something's going on here. I would
say that somebody piled those domes.

That's pretty clear, right? Pretty
clear.

That was flipped up, and then they
ringed it with rocks.

I would say, yeah.

They've put that up against the other.
We've got a stone structure here.

Did you take measurements here, Larry?

Yeah, it's six feet in diameter.

Yeah. Six feet is 72 inches.

Right. And we know the rule of 72 goes
back into antiquity.

Nolan's cross is based on the rule of
72.

That's true.

If we remember when John Edwards gave
his presentation, he represented that...

The Templars used the rule of 72.

Yeah.

The way to unlock Nolan's cross is built
into the cross itself.

In 2023,

researcher John Edwards presented the
team with a potential link between the

order of the Knights Templar and the
design of Nolan's cross.

When you go and look at the two arms of
the cross, it's 720.

Everything was divisible by 70.

Numbers used have to be of significance
to whoever built Nolan's Cross.

And I'm suggesting it might be the
Templars because they used the Latin

72. The Latin rule, which is also known
as specific behavior for the Templar

order, was written in the early 12th
century by Hugues de Pan and Bernard of

Clairvaux, two of the founding members
of the Templar order.

The document contained a set.

of 72 directives that all templar
knights were sworn to live by and

john edwards research revealed that the
symbolic number of 72 was incorporated

into the designs of numerous templar
related structures all across medieval

europe so the fact that it is six feet
in diameter it might mean something it

might be meaningful could rick be
correct that this feature and nolan's

represent further evidence of a templar
connection to the oak island mystery

there was a purpose here an intelligent
design i'm also thinking how many more

of these are around imagine that another
puzzle yeah i think what we'll do is

we'll clean out this side a little more
and then we'll clean off the rest right

on What we should do is have Steve come
out, take a line.

I'm quite fascinated with the
possibility of numerical relationships

this and other stone features on the
island.

And to be honest, the only way to find
out is to do it. Correct. Right? Yep.

Okey -doke. We'll get on to other
things. All right. See you later.

As Laird continues uncovering the new
stone feature on Lot 5.

I brought a lot of bags, mate. I'm
expecting a good day for our artifacts.

we go.

It's stuck in.

Over on the western edge of the swamp,
Gary, Billy, and Derek search for more

clues.

That's a little surface nail.

Oh, it's beginning to begin again.

right there you can see the odd play in
the rock okay

i'll have a detect it's in there

that's a little bit stronger

just there please

There you go, mate. Give it some welly.

Something between a rock and an hard
place.

This looks like it's deeper down, Derek.

This has got a chance of being older.

He's still in there.

How about to witness a little bit of Oak
Island history, Derek?

I'll try to pinpoint it.

It is that.

The heck is that?

The heck is it?

Yeah, it's heavy.

While searching near the log roadway on
the western side of the swamp, members

of the Oak Island team have just found
another mysterious artifact.

A lot of times when we find old iron
like this, and it's really heavy for its

size, it turns out to be older iron.

I have no idea what it is, Billy.

You know, it doesn't just look like a
piece of flag metal either. You know,

you've got the sharp angles cut there,
right? Like, it's a something. Yeah,

made on purpose like that.

That's good. We've got some old iron
coming up.

Yep. Hopefully there's some old...

Gold and silver.

Yep. I'll put that in the bag.

Anytime you find an artifact on Oak
Island, it always has more of a story to

tell. See?

If there's anything else, there's a lot
of iron around it. And we've previously

recovered really good artifacts in the
swamp. Hopefully, we can find some more.

Some small.

Yeah.

Talk about a needle in a clay step.

We ain't missing nothing, Derek. No,
definitely not. Yeah.

I know it's only a little iron needle,
but it can tell a story.

Oh, put that in the bag?

See you guys.

All right, chaps.

What on earth are you guys doing here?

We are digging the heck out of this
area.

And? We've got a couple of interesting
pieces of iron.

I'll show you.

What do you think of them, Derek?

This one needled him a little bit. Wow.

That is a needle, isn't it? Yeah.

Little iron needle.

Wait a minute, let me see it. Look how
little that is.

Boy, it shows again how good you are at
finding stuff.

You've got to be kidding.

I don't know. It almost looks like it
has a patina to it. The other one, I

know what to think about.

Now, this was great because it was deep
down there. We had to dig it out, and

it's nice and heavy.

That is heavy.

That's cool. You generally have an idea.

You know what? The more I look at it, to
me it looks like an old iron buckle,

and that's just one end of it.

That little area there could come out.
These two ends.

That'd be a big buckle. Yeah, it'd be a
big buckle. Could be of boxes.

Could Gary be correct that he has found
an iron buckle that may have once been

attached to a large chest?

If so, was it possibly related to some
kind of valuable cargo?

And could it also help explain why the
nearby Corduroy Road was constructed?

Well, I've always been a swamp skeptic.
I said for years that one of the best

ways to hide a treasure would be to
flood it.

And flooding it in a, you know, swamp
-like condition would be ideal because

there would be absolutely no trace if
you did it. So, yeah, it's possible that

what we seek is in that swamp.
Absolutely possible.

Well, it has Emma written all over it,
doesn't it? Oh, yeah.

Probably a really old piece of iron.
Yeah, you know what I'm going to say.

Yeah, that's good, but find some more.

Well, keep going. There's no stone
unturned. There you go.

As Gary, Billy, and Derek search for
more evidence of treasure in the swamp.

Later that afternoon.

Okay, we've got a court coming, guys.
Here we go. It's perfect timing because

Big Brother just showed up.

Rick joins Marty and other members of
the team in the Money Pit area.

Well, let's make a good recovery or he
wouldn't need that.

At the drilling operation in borehole G4
.5 approaches the bottom of the

solution channel.

That's 208, Terry.

208? We hit the bottom at 206.

206 and 208 is the bottom. All right.

All right.

G4 .5 is about to tell us everything
it's got to say.

There you go.

Unfortunately, it's got quite a lot of
solid material in amongst the water.

This is not the loose material we're
looking for.

Sadly, nothing to write home about in
particular, I guess.

Who's got the pinpointer? Inside the box
there.

We're going to have to get it on that
table.

Pull it over. Let's go.

Pull it back.

Nothing. Nope. Nope.

We were hoping for a home run.

By that I mean we would come up with a
coin or something and say, oh, there it

is. There's where the treasure is.

Anything?

No. No luck.

Sorry, Rick.

No joy.

But I really like this. I called it
Treasure Central. I am disappointed

Yeah.

I'm frustrated.

We were very hopeful that the Corps
would retrieve something man -made from

those steps.

It's very troubling, and I wonder if
maybe it's gone, maybe it's...

lost forever.

I mean, that's possible.

At this point, we don't know. The fact
that we didn't bullseye the target yet,

is that disappointing?

Yes. I don't know what the next ones
are. They're all still in and around

Right, absolutely.

And I mean, we're not done yet. We have
to find the void.

Nothing fell into this.

For right now, that's the general bottom
in this area.

Okay, on to the next one. Okay.

At the start of a new day on Oak Island,
members of the team begin drilling a

new borehole in the Money Pit area to
continue exploring the murky depths of

Solution Channel.

As new ground is broken, Marty finds his
brother more than 500 feet away at

Smith's Cove.

Hey, hey, you're looking a little
pensive.

Yeah, a little bit.

I happened to come down to Smith's Cove,
and I see Rick sitting there kind of

looking out over the water. He's looking
discouraged.

We were hoping that we'd get a sliver of
a coin or a fraction of a piece of gold

or something that would absolutely
pinpoint where we needed to go.

Well, we didn't.

It's nice to take a deep breath once in
a while, isn't it? Mm -hmm.

Are you disappointed a little bit about
the results so far in the drilling in

the solution channel?

Were you disappointed? Yeah, I'm
disappointed because I wanted to put,

something of supreme monetary value on
the table. But I think the theory makes

sense. I think it really makes sense.
You know, the early guys find a vault at

90 feet.

And then everything collapses down a
little bit. You know, all kinds of

happen. Then we know that things fell
again. And we know the money pit

violently. So it would answer
everything.

Yeah. So I'm probably more hopeful than
I've ever been because I got something

in mind that would explain everything.

The purpose of the deep drilling this
year was really come up with a piece of

treasure. But the second part was to
define the solution channel to figure

where it is big enough and open enough
for this collapse to have occurred.

The second component is coming in
nicely. We're defining that thing pretty

We have a theory that makes sense and is
still supported completely by the

science that there are precious metals
still in the money pit area.

Couple those two things together, and
it's still pretty exciting.

You know, I've always believed in a
story here, certainly.

And I think every year we prove that
it's probably more complex and more

difficult than we had imagined. That's
for sure.

When you get depressed.

Don't. You'd have to say, who gets to do
this?

Exactly. Who gets to take hold of a
great treasure story and run with it?

Oh, absolutely.

A couple of youpers trying to do kind of
a cool thing. Yeah.

I'll be honest. Marty is right. We are
absolutely committed to defining the

Solution Channel as best we can. My hope
is that something can be retrieved in

the near term that, say, You know, here
we are.

Come get us. But for right now, I think
we should be patient.

Man, we've been so blessed with the
people we've met, the things we've

experienced, the things we've done. I
mean, I couldn't, the last years, these

last years, I couldn't have asked for
anything better. I really couldn't have.

It's been an unbelievable quest to
decipher what the hell happened here.

Sempre avanti.

Let's go. Ain't gonna find itself.

Later that morning... Good morning,
Matthew.

Hello, sir.

Rick, Marty, and other members of the
team meet via videoconference with

military historian Matthew Balzad to
discuss the possible piece of a hand

recovered in the swamp.

We very much look forward to your
analysis of the item that has been found

and I believe you have the report in
front of you that we have done here on

island. Yes.

Hey, Matthew. Hi. How are you? Good.

In 2024,

Rick and members of the team met Matthew
in Malta while researching potential

ties between Templar -related orders and
the Oak Island mystery.

and were stunned by his assessment of a
pickaxe that they found deep in the

Money Pit area.

This was employed in Malta for
centuries.

Wow.

Now, given Laird and Emma's preliminary
analysis on the hand cannon, the team

wonders if Matthew can help them
determine its origin.

The hand cannon emerged in the 1200s. In
European culture, it was used in

warfare mostly from the 13th to the
15th, at most early

16th century.

Would this be a possible 1200s artifact?

Yes. What I find interesting and
strange, however, is

the fact that I don't know exactly how
that fits into your site's history.

Would this be a possible 1 ,200
artifact?

Yes. That I find quite strange because I
don't know exactly how that fits into

your site's history.

In the war room, Maltese military
historian Matthew Balzad has just

team that the hand cannon found in the
swamp could be as much as 800 years old.

It's interesting, Matthew, extremely
interesting. I mean, the likelihood of

finding a hand cannon.

On Oak Island.

It sure seems an unlikely thing to find
here, I will say that.

Exactly. Do you know, Matthew, would the
Portuguese be more likely to use this

than the French, or is there any sort of
correlation there?

In the Italian legion, it was used a
lot.

France as well.

Spain, being an empire, used them as
well, so it was widespread.

However, I did not encounter it in the
same timeframe in the Americas.

So that's what makes it quite curious.

Yeah, we don't know.

If we try to interpret this artifact in
a different way, it might have been used

as some sort of apparatus in order to
direct the blast of a gunpowder in a

particular way to break the bedrock.

In Malta, we still use explosives to
crack rock till this very day.

You wonder, though, in a confined space
like, say, a tunnel, would this be more

useful?

It would probably be more efficient than
just drilling a hole in the rock, I'm

guessing. Well, it's the old repurposing
thing, too. It's like, hey, use that.

You know, why not? It's probably
quicker.

Yeah.

The rock breaking thing is a little
interesting to me, just thinking of

found it, right? The swamp.

But when you think of the paved area,
there's so much broken...

pieces of rock that really have to be
fitted in place. When we got in the

area, I said, you know, you almost
wanted a quarry somewhere nearby. But if

needed to get certain size rocks to make
that perfectly level, you might come

with that tool and try to start to blast
some rocks up to build your platform's

level, right? Yeah.

Is it possible that the hand cannon was
fired at large rocks to break them up

for the creation of the potentially 800
-year -old paved area?

If so, might the hand cannon... also be
related to the other strange structures

on the island, such as the wall on Lot
26, or the rock formation that was

recently uncovered on Lot 5.

We've been surprised by just so many
things in the swamp as being old, and

here's another one now that stacks up,
being way before anything in our history

that should be there, right? Yeah, it's
pre -Columbus. If this is true, then it

shows that people were crossing the
Atlantic much earlier than what we

Look, you've come a long way, and so has
Peter, so has Alex.

But there's mounting evidence of
something happening here very early.

you right now? Me? Yeah.

You can't discard evidence that you find
uncomfortable.

You can't discard it. And there it's at.

So I think there's starting to be quite
a lot of data that strongly suggests

there were Europeans here.

Long before history would suggest they
were here. Yeah. But it hasn't been

proven yet.

Hmm? Is that fair?

Yeah. We need the smoking gun.

No. Fire it. Fire it.

When people think of a treasure hunt,
they think that every day is successful.

Every day is an aha moment.

That's not true.

But at some point, there will come a
moment where you say to yourself, yes,

is worth it.

And this is why.

The complexity of the Oak Island story
far and away exceeds my thoughts as a

young boy when reading it.

This was, as always, really, really
interesting.

Yeah. Matthew, we certainly appreciate
your time.

This was highly informative.

It's really quite something. A very
unique find.

Whatever I can help.

Thank you very much. Many thanks. Very
nice to see you again. Take care.

See you.

Well, we continue to work away then. So
having said that, I think we all need to

get back to work. Amen.

A vast treasure may still lie deep below
Oak Island.

But once again, through faith and
persistence, Rick, Marty, and their team

have found new clues that suggest the
incredible truth about this 230 -year

mystery might be revealed much closer.
