1
00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:03,270
Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.
2
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:04,570
I got a signal.
3
00:00:04,750 --> 00:00:05,750
Aha!
4
00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:07,030
Whoa, we got here.
5
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:12,350
I recognize the seal, so it could date
to the 1300s.
6
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:15,030
That large boulder looks intriguing.
7
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:19,170
We've uncovered a big void right there.
What is underneath that boulder?
8
00:00:19,470 --> 00:00:25,170
We put cameras in VN 13 .5. What we
found to Jeff, human origin.
9
00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:27,870
It really seems like it's a depositor.
Wow.
10
00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:36,990
There is an island in the North Atlantic
where people have been looking for an
11
00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:40,210
incredible treasure for more than 200
years.
12
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:47,550
So far, they have found a stone slab
with strange symbols carved into it, man
13
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:54,270
-made workings that date to medieval
times, and a lead cross whose origin may
14
00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:56,250
connected to the Knights Templar.
15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,100
To date, six men have died trying to
solve the mystery.
16
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:08,580
And, according to legend, one more will
have to die before the treasure
17
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:09,920
can be found.
18
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:24,940
The critical intersection right here,
guys. Yeah.
19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,180
What we should see beneath the peacock
is loose material. Our targets are the
20
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:32,700
possible void at 148 feet, and then the
solution channel below that.
21
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:39,260
Right. A new day on Oak Island brings
fresh hope for Rick and Marty Lagina
22
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:45,600
that their team is closing in on the
answers to a 231 -year -old treasure
23
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,580
mystery. Really, the end goal is to get
down to the solution channel and see if
24
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:52,580
there's a potential treasure there. But
I also believe that we're close to a
25
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:53,780
chamber here. Right.
26
00:01:55,260 --> 00:02:00,880
In a location of the Money Pit area
known as the Peacock, the team is
27
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,620
borehole DN13 just a few feet northwest
of borehole BN13 .5.
28
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:16,830
It was there that one week ago, the
drill entered a possible man -made
29
00:02:16,830 --> 00:02:23,070
some 150 feet deep, which sets more than
20 feet above the solution channel.
30
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:26,250
You can make it almost like a wall or
something like that there. When you move
31
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,930
away from it, you kind of go into more
of an opening here.
32
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:34,550
After inserting a camera, evidence was
revealed of a possible artificial wall.
33
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:38,350
Show me the money. And a potential
opening to a larger cavity.
34
00:02:38,590 --> 00:02:39,590
We've got an opening.
35
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:44,430
This made them wonder if an offset
treasure chamber connected to the
36
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:46,130
money pit has been discovered.
37
00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:55,090
Now, while the team waits to view
enhanced video images of the mysterious
38
00:02:55,290 --> 00:03:01,130
they hope to drill into the larger
nearby cavity and confirm if it indeed
39
00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:02,130
man -made chamber.
40
00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:03,289
Oh, look.
41
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:05,010
Yeah, something's going on over there.
Yeah.
42
00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:07,290
Rod's belt. He just dropped.
43
00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:08,690
That's really fast, man.
44
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:12,660
Here he comes.
45
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:15,360
Hey, Adam, how's it going?
46
00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:17,540
Good. Did something happen?
47
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,800
The rod fell about 16 feet.
48
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Really? From 128.
49
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Wow. That's really interesting. Thanks a
lot, Adam. All right.
50
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:33,200
That means somewhere between 118 and 128
we went into the soft area.
51
00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:34,880
Right, yeah. All the way to 144.
52
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:36,340
Yeah. Wow.
53
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,840
So in core of the peacock, I've always
believed, is going to be a structure.
54
00:03:40,270 --> 00:03:43,930
Because of the loose soil, when we see
those rods drop, that tells us maybe
55
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:47,350
we're close to seeing the structure that
we all hope we're going to encounter.
56
00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:50,710
We're going to track that down into the
solution channel. You know, there's
57
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:52,730
plenty of places down there for a
treasure to hide.
58
00:03:52,950 --> 00:03:53,950
No question.
59
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:56,870
We'll move on to the more interesting
levels.
60
00:03:57,110 --> 00:04:00,950
Yeah. As the core drilling pushes deeper
in the Money Pit area.
61
00:04:02,330 --> 00:04:03,910
That mountain's getting higher and
higher.
62
00:04:04,250 --> 00:04:05,290
Tell me about it.
63
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:08,810
Rick Lagina and other members of the
team.
64
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:13,550
continue investigating the southwest
corner of the triangle -shaped swamp.
65
00:04:14,090 --> 00:04:18,209
After this, I feel like we only have one
little section left behind us. Yeah.
66
00:04:19,329 --> 00:04:24,910
In recent weeks, the team has been
uncovering a mysterious stone road -like
67
00:04:24,910 --> 00:04:29,550
feature that may be connected to a
similar structure that was found several
68
00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:31,850
yards to the north earlier this year.
69
00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:37,850
Curiously, eight -sided wooden survey
sticks were found lining both of these
70
00:04:37,850 --> 00:04:38,850
features.
71
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:44,750
And the team also recovered old ox
shoes, suggesting the roads may have
72
00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:47,390
used to move heavy cargo into the swamp.
73
00:04:49,970 --> 00:04:51,470
Get in there. Okay.
74
00:04:52,690 --> 00:04:58,310
So this corner is almost done. What we
did learn is we have a possible path or
75
00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:59,310
road to follow.
76
00:04:59,370 --> 00:05:03,150
And the hope is that there will be some
artifacts that can be dated.
77
00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:08,720
And then maybe we can figure out who
made these features and why.
78
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,840
Ready for me to go in, Billy? Yes. Take
the bottom there, Gary, maybe. Yep.
79
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:32,220
Getting quiet.
80
00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:33,980
It is.
81
00:05:34,090 --> 00:05:35,770
We haven't had a net in a while now.
82
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:41,010
This might be the end of the line for
this area, I think.
83
00:05:41,470 --> 00:05:42,590
Yeah, I think you're right, Billy.
84
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,130
We hammered it.
85
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:48,510
Everywhere we turn in the swamp, we're
finding stakes, and that must mean
86
00:05:48,510 --> 00:05:50,510
something. Yep, it has to.
87
00:05:50,890 --> 00:05:54,990
And my question is, where are we going
next? Because I know that there are
88
00:05:54,990 --> 00:05:55,990
areas of interest.
89
00:05:56,290 --> 00:05:59,310
Yeah. Who are you, and what did you do
with Peter Frenetti?
90
00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:03,190
Hey, this swamp is looking like a beach
right now.
91
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:04,710
Let's get back into it.
92
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:12,490
You have three data points that
seemingly line up. An unknown road,
93
00:06:12,490 --> 00:06:14,790
shoes, then you have the stakes.
94
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:17,010
And who knows what else is after that.
95
00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:20,350
If there's a road, where does it go?
96
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:24,670
Right now, Steve has projected it to go
toward the north end of the bog.
97
00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:28,430
So now it gives us some insight as to
where to go next.
98
00:06:28,730 --> 00:06:31,410
And that's every bit as important as an
artifact.
99
00:06:31,810 --> 00:06:34,290
Yeah. We've got to get back to do some
homework.
100
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:37,490
We need to talk to Tom Nolan about where
to go next.
101
00:06:37,910 --> 00:06:39,310
So I say we head back.
102
00:06:39,610 --> 00:06:41,550
All right. All right. Thanks, Billy.
103
00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:43,050
See you. See you, Mike.
104
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:50,150
As the team works on new plans for
digging in the swamp, later that day.
105
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,220
I'm always grateful to come into the
lab. I think we learn so many things
106
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,540
and I'm impressed by these two finds
from Lot 8.
107
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,660
In the Oak Island lab, Rick and members
of the team join Laird Niven and Emma
108
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:11,940
Culligan to hear a scientific report on
a possible iron knife handle and a lead
109
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:15,280
bag seal that were found on Lot 8 one
week ago.
110
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,980
The iron is kind of more of the
mysterious piece, so we'll start there.
111
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,860
And you can see that wood -like grain
structure on it, so it is hand -forged.
112
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,220
But what is interesting is the shape of
it.
113
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:34,580
So it came in as a possible knife
handle, and it does have some features
114
00:07:34,580 --> 00:07:36,320
being like the scale of a knife handle.
115
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,460
But it could also have been used as a
multi -tool.
116
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,480
Why the round hole at the base and the
square hole above?
117
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,380
So this could have been used as a
fastener to hold something in place, a
118
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:51,940
Pivot point.
119
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,360
But this section right here, I can find
components that are similar to other
120
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:04,560
tools, but nothing like this. Okay. And
the composition is clean, so it's post
121
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,180
-medieval, pre -mid -1800. So it does
fit within the 1700s. Yep.
122
00:08:10,780 --> 00:08:12,000
It's very peculiar.
123
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,800
You know, it's possible Carmen might
have an idea as to what that represents.
124
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,100
Yeah. But the next item.
125
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,820
What does it tell us?
126
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:22,580
It's a bag seal.
127
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:31,060
Dating back to as early as the 13th
century, lead bag seals were fasteners
128
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:34,679
to contain large quantities of goods in
heavy cloth packages.
129
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:43,080
I recognized an element of it right
away, which was basically a suspended
130
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,080
dead sheep.
131
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,620
I found an existing example of...
132
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,940
of this seal, and that is the only
example we could find.
133
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,600
So this is the city seal of Leeds in
England.
134
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,920
What a macabre design.
135
00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:02,980
I know. It's so grim.
136
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,140
So this would have been a seal on a
finished bale of fabric.
137
00:09:09,260 --> 00:09:15,500
So that implies that it arrives on the
islands as a bale, and that was taken
138
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:16,299
on Lot 8.
139
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:17,300
Wow.
140
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:23,890
Leeds in the 16th, 17th, and 18th
century was like the wool manufacturing
141
00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:24,990
in England.
142
00:09:26,110 --> 00:09:30,030
And basically Britain was built around
wool.
143
00:09:30,430 --> 00:09:31,690
Oh, really? Yeah.
144
00:09:32,050 --> 00:09:33,950
That begs the question, what time
period?
145
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:37,990
The Leeds wool industry goes back to the
1300s.
146
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:40,850
So it could date earlier.
147
00:09:49,450 --> 00:09:53,630
The lead wool industry goes back to the
1300s. Wow.
148
00:09:54,990 --> 00:10:00,730
In the Oak Island lab, Laird has just
confirmed that the lead bag seal found
149
00:10:00,730 --> 00:10:06,650
Lot 8 originated in England and could be
as much as 700 years old.
150
00:10:07,710 --> 00:10:11,530
When you say bale, I picture something
of great quantity, though.
151
00:10:12,010 --> 00:10:16,410
Let's say the size of this isn't
probably that much. So big.
152
00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:18,750
Like a hay bale. Yeah.
153
00:10:19,070 --> 00:10:23,390
Isn't that a lot of fabric for a
singular household?
154
00:10:23,730 --> 00:10:24,730
That's the problem.
155
00:10:24,930 --> 00:10:28,230
A singular household, you're going to
those people and buying your clothes.
156
00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:32,790
Why on the island? Here on the island,
there were limited families.
157
00:10:33,130 --> 00:10:36,650
Yeah. Bag seals are not uncommon in
North America, but they're usually
158
00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:41,690
associated with trade, like a fort.
You're finding a lot of these because
159
00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:44,050
making uniforms, but you're also trading
cloth.
160
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:48,410
So this is our third bail seal.
161
00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:53,740
Now we have three from different areas,
so why is it there?
162
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:02,020
Previously, the team found a lead bag
seal on Lot 5 and another on Lot 32,
163
00:11:02,020 --> 00:11:06,700
yards from the possible stone road that
was recently uncovered in the southwest
164
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:07,860
corner of the swamp.
165
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Astonishingly, that bag seal was
scientifically matched to the 14th
166
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,260
cross, which is believed to be
connected.
167
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:18,880
to the Knights Templar.
168
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:24,460
There's an up going on in Lot 8 that I'd
like to look closer to take a good look
169
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:26,360
at what's out there.
170
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,900
Could be something else that we're not
aware of.
171
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:33,300
So to that end, I think we need to get
back out there.
172
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:34,720
We have to get to work.
173
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:37,880
You have to find things and I will help
you dig.
174
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,100
That sounds like a plan.
175
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,320
That is a plan.
176
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Alright, thank you.
177
00:11:49,390 --> 00:11:54,730
The next day, while drilling continues
in the Money Pit area.
178
00:11:55,990 --> 00:12:00,450
You are of firm belief that there are
answers to the Oak Island mystery that
179
00:12:00,450 --> 00:12:01,670
reside within the bog.
180
00:12:02,090 --> 00:12:06,910
How can you deny it? No matter how you
look at it, somebody did an immense
181
00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:08,370
amount of work in that bog.
182
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:14,350
Rick meets with fellow Oak Island
landowner Tom Nolan and other members of
183
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:18,450
team in the research center to plan
their next dig in the swamp.
184
00:12:20,270 --> 00:12:26,650
I think the north end of the bog in
terms of the size and the amount of
185
00:12:26,650 --> 00:12:31,430
a very confined space was quite exciting
and incredibly interesting and
186
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:32,630
incredibly confusing.
187
00:12:33,570 --> 00:12:38,870
The amount of stakes that we found, all
of uniform size, uniform strikes in
188
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:44,750
terms of making the sharpened end, eight
strokes, and when you look at it as
189
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:46,570
they're plotted, it's meaningful.
190
00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:47,790
Oh, very meaningful.
191
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,740
Somebody was trying to leave a path.
192
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Yeah.
193
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:59,620
Before uncovering the stone features in
the western and southwestern areas of
194
00:12:59,620 --> 00:13:04,800
the swamp this year, working with Tom on
his property in the northern region,
195
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,800
the team previously discovered very
similar stone structures and several
196
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,860
-sided survey stakes leading to an empty
vault -like structure.
197
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:22,320
Yeah, the so -called vault was
captivating in and of itself. I mean,
198
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,040
paths, roads, but that vault was quite
singular and unique.
199
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Yeah.
200
00:13:28,780 --> 00:13:33,680
Now, Rick and Tom want to know if all of
the stone structures they've uncovered
201
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:38,960
across the swamp are connected, and if
other vaults that still contain
202
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,340
valuable are waiting to be found.
203
00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:47,780
The vault, to me, it was a hiding place.
It's in the perfect place to hide it
204
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:50,380
amongst vegetation and stuff where
people probably aren't going to go
205
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:55,380
Absolutely. If you are safeguarding
something, if you have something really
206
00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:58,280
important, you're not going to put all
your eggs in one basket.
207
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,380
Right. And you're going to have one,
two, three more.
208
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:05,280
My hope is that there's a backup vault.
209
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:09,020
Yep. Ready to put the bucket in the
ground and see what's under it.
210
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,100
Well, there's no time like the present,
right?
211
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,900
So I say we get out there. Let's go.
212
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:18,120
Following the meeting in the research
center.
213
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,780
I think we should start here, take this
apart, and then once we get across that,
214
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:28,640
just keep going to the other part of the
bog. Yep. The team begins searching for
215
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,280
new clues in the northern region of the
swamp.
216
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,860
Gary, it's going to be up to you to find
whatever artifacts are here.
217
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,120
For real? We're going to find it. Okey
-doke.
218
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,740
You know, the swamp has been enigmatic
because virtually every time we dig in
219
00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:45,840
there, we find something.
220
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,280
And not just something. We find things
that you wouldn't suspect would be in a
221
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:57,500
swamp. We find things that could very
well be related to the mystery of what
222
00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:58,500
happened here.
223
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:01,600
We're close to the line where you found
all the stakes.
224
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:10,170
There's your thing right there.
225
00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:19,950
Probably right there.
226
00:15:20,770 --> 00:15:24,310
Probably right there.
227
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:29,690
What is it inside it?
228
00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:36,370
Two, three, four, five.
229
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:38,310
Six.
230
00:15:38,650 --> 00:15:43,530
Seven. There's one there. There's your
eight sides.
231
00:15:44,290 --> 00:15:45,290
Wow.
232
00:15:46,090 --> 00:15:48,810
They drove that down deep for some
reason.
233
00:15:50,530 --> 00:15:52,610
That's got to be really, really old.
234
00:15:55,390 --> 00:16:02,150
Last year, these eight -sided stakes led
us to a fault. The stakes are a puzzle
235
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:03,150
unto themselves.
236
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,220
There's every belief that as the stakes
continue to be found, at some point we
237
00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:10,840
will have an explanation as to why.
238
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,840
That's where it was, right there.
239
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,080
We're going to have to get Steve out to
pin it right now before we move it,
240
00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:18,600
unless you can dig around it, huh?
241
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,020
Dig on this side and that side?
242
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:26,340
Maybe they can help explain the
structures that have already been found.
243
00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:30,780
Hey, guys. Hey, Steve.
244
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:32,900
What do we got?
245
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:36,310
You're standing on it. I'm literally
standing on it. You're literally
246
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:37,310
on it.
247
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:38,069
All right.
248
00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:41,030
That's where it was. The hole is right
there. Okay. The hole is what we want.
249
00:16:41,170 --> 00:16:42,170
Yep.
250
00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:44,810
And like everything else, we're a foot
and a half above sea level.
251
00:16:45,330 --> 00:16:48,590
And actually, most stakes that we have
found in the swamp have been a foot and
252
00:16:48,590 --> 00:16:49,590
half above sea level.
253
00:16:49,650 --> 00:16:52,510
They've been very consistent, which to
me means a lot of them have probably
254
00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:55,490
in the same time period. And that would
be pretty interesting.
255
00:16:55,830 --> 00:16:56,830
Yeah.
256
00:16:57,790 --> 00:16:59,670
So, anyway, we'll keep going.
257
00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:01,110
Thanks, Steve. See you guys.
258
00:17:01,370 --> 00:17:02,370
Appreciate it.
259
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,720
These sticks almost certainly represents
that a group of individuals did the
260
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,420
work, implying a reason, implying
planning.
261
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,300
Maybe it is connected to the vault that
we've discovered.
262
00:17:15,859 --> 00:17:17,020
I got a signal.
263
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:23,240
I'm hoping that there are clues that
will lead us to new discoveries.
264
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:29,700
I got a good signal in that last pile,
wherever the last pile came from. Would
265
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,800
have been on the bottom. He was scraping
bottom.
266
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,360
for that last bucket, so it was down
there. That's excellent. That's where
267
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:37,360
find the older artifacts.
268
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Yeah. Let me see if I can pinpoint it
first.
269
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:45,060
Oh, we got here.
270
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,100
Oh, we got here.
271
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,680
What is that?
272
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,360
In the northern region of the swamp,
Gary has just found an intriguing
273
00:17:57,900 --> 00:17:59,000
You know what that is?
274
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,460
That's like a snake.
275
00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:04,610
A latch off a gate or a door.
276
00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:09,730
It would be inside an opening, and you'd
put your thumb on it, and you'd open
277
00:18:09,730 --> 00:18:10,549
the gate.
278
00:18:10,550 --> 00:18:16,130
In England, we call it a gatesnake. It's
more than likely hand -forged.
279
00:18:16,530 --> 00:18:19,330
This looks really, really old.
280
00:18:20,030 --> 00:18:24,450
A possible gate latch found in the
northern section of the swamp?
281
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:26,070
It's a great thought.
282
00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:30,250
Your thumb fits in there perfectly, the
latch springs up. Yeah.
283
00:18:30,750 --> 00:18:35,950
Because these fixtures have been in use
this far back at the 13th century, just
284
00:18:35,950 --> 00:18:38,130
how old might this artifact be?
285
00:18:38,610 --> 00:18:43,410
And could it be related to a structure
that might be buried in this area?
286
00:18:44,010 --> 00:18:45,630
Well, it's a great sign.
287
00:18:45,910 --> 00:18:50,670
An old piece of iron came from at the
bottom of the dig. Yeah, that was down
288
00:18:50,670 --> 00:18:51,669
deep.
289
00:18:51,670 --> 00:18:54,430
I'll put it in the bag. Yeah, that's a
good find.
290
00:18:54,810 --> 00:18:55,810
Yep.
291
00:18:58,250 --> 00:19:00,130
Okay. Well, there we are, pal.
292
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:30,900
What have you found, Tom?
293
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,960
A piece of pottery.
294
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:34,200
But it's green.
295
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,160
Green and blue. You don't usually see
that color.
296
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,480
No.
297
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,780
That decoration is unique, too.
298
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:48,080
This area with the green and the blue
glazed pottery, it could match
299
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,700
another area where the archaeologists
have found it. I know it's been found
300
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:52,700
before.
301
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:58,390
I think some green and blue came off the
Lot 26 wall as well when the
302
00:19:58,390 --> 00:20:01,710
archaeologists were investigating,
taking the wall apart.
303
00:20:02,970 --> 00:20:04,390
You have to find artifacts.
304
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:05,990
Okay, get on that.
305
00:20:07,330 --> 00:20:14,290
In 2022, the team investigated a rock
wall on Lot 26 because
306
00:20:14,290 --> 00:20:18,910
it was much larger and wider than a
number of others on the island that are
307
00:20:18,910 --> 00:20:21,990
known to have been built by farmers in
the 19th century.
308
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,400
Incredibly, in addition to pottery,
charcoal was found in the wall that,
309
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,120
carbon -dated, suggested it could be
over 500 years old.
310
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:39,600
And when Portuguese researcher Francisco
Nogueira inspected it, he made a
311
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,860
fascinating observation.
312
00:20:41,860 --> 00:20:46,500
This wall appears to be created in the
old Portuguese style of building rock
313
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,140
fences. No way!
314
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,000
Could this piece of pottery be the same
kind?
315
00:20:52,410 --> 00:20:54,710
that was found in the wall on Lot 26.
316
00:20:55,190 --> 00:21:01,010
If so, is it possible that the wall is
somehow related to the man -made
317
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:02,370
uncovered in the swamp?
318
00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:09,490
We have a suggestion by experts that
some of the activities conducted here on
319
00:21:09,490 --> 00:21:12,290
the island can be associated with the
Portuguese.
320
00:21:12,670 --> 00:21:16,350
The stone road in the swamp has
Portuguese influence.
321
00:21:17,070 --> 00:21:19,190
The stone wall has influences.
322
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,400
to put later a Portuguese Templar coin
that was possibly found in the money
323
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:30,500
It's a worthy consideration that they
all may have a connection to the
324
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,760
And we'll get these finds back to the
lab. I mean, we've had a great start to
325
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,780
the dig in this area.
326
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,840
Yep. It shows there's things to be found
here, right? Yeah, I agree.
327
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:44,100
We just have to keep plugging away.
Yeah.
328
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,300
All right, Al, we'll take her down quite
a bit more here.
329
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,780
Perfect, no problem.
330
00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:56,200
Later that day... So this is what I
wanted to show you.
331
00:21:56,460 --> 00:21:58,980
You've got this large boulder. Yep.
332
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,560
Which is uncommon.
333
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,860
After looking around the area on Lot 8,
where the lead bag seal was found, Laird
334
00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:08,980
has made a potentially important
discovery.
335
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,320
We're not seeing it around here a lot,
that size.
336
00:22:12,620 --> 00:22:17,900
But then I started seeing the number of
stones that are around it, perhaps
337
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:19,580
filling in something.
338
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:20,809
Mm -hmm.
339
00:22:20,810 --> 00:22:23,890
Even the berm over there, that could
indicate digging.
340
00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:27,650
It looks like someone was filling in a
pit.
341
00:22:27,970 --> 00:22:33,230
Actually, if you look again, the rocks
seem to go further off to the east.
342
00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:35,370
Look, the more I see.
343
00:22:36,170 --> 00:22:37,170
Yep.
344
00:22:37,850 --> 00:22:43,510
Could Laird be correct that someone
deliberately filled in a pit around this
345
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:46,590
massive boulder with soil and smaller
rocks?
346
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:49,250
But if so, who did it?
347
00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:51,400
And... For what purpose?
348
00:22:52,740 --> 00:22:57,620
You know, it appears as though there's a
ring of stones around the boulder.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,800
Yeah.
350
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,520
It's not unusual to find a boulder on
Oak Island. But even more interesting
351
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,600
the ground -level rock feature around
it.
352
00:23:07,860 --> 00:23:12,040
My immediate thought was that this was a
possible filled -in foundation that
353
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,040
we're not aware of.
354
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:18,320
I don't know the relationship between
that large boulder and this.
355
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,380
Some stone formations, yeah.
356
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,240
But I think it's definitely worth
exploring.
357
00:23:25,020 --> 00:23:27,020
It's interesting. There's no doubt about
it.
358
00:23:27,380 --> 00:23:29,320
Yeah, Lotte does intrigue me.
359
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,820
But then you and Katja recently found
the bag seal. Correct.
360
00:23:33,020 --> 00:23:37,580
Which is another really intriguing
artifact. I know its function, but why
361
00:23:37,580 --> 00:23:42,460
here? And then we find this huge boulder
and these rocks.
362
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,600
It does make me think that we need to
really analyze it.
363
00:23:47,530 --> 00:23:51,050
It's certainly unique, and like you
said, you can see the raised areas
364
00:23:51,050 --> 00:23:53,730
everywhere, right? Yeah. Here, here,
there.
365
00:23:54,410 --> 00:24:00,130
This would have been quite an effort by
someone if this really is a hand -built
366
00:24:00,130 --> 00:24:01,830
construction. Yeah.
367
00:24:02,650 --> 00:24:07,290
So I think what we'll do, we're going to
clear it off, clear the whole area off
368
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:13,370
to get a good idea of what it looks
like, and then hopefully taking a
369
00:24:13,370 --> 00:24:14,109
from it.
370
00:24:14,110 --> 00:24:15,110
Sure.
371
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,060
This may provide a very unique
opportunity to try to understand not
372
00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:21,360
lot, but the entire island.
373
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,460
You know, not every stone on this island
means something, but some of them do.
374
00:24:25,580 --> 00:24:27,880
And this may be one of those times.
375
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:33,200
If it's been filled in, there might be
something hidden that would break the
376
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,119
story open.
377
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:36,640
At this point, the archaeologists need
to get to work.
378
00:24:36,940 --> 00:24:39,120
This is surely worth investigating.
379
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,720
You laid out a very proper approach.
380
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:44,480
I applaud you for...
381
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:50,640
Again, being observant, I think if
there's any way we can help, we all
382
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,060
invest some time here. You're leading me
to the dark side because I'm really
383
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:55,100
intrigued by that stuff.
384
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,240
It does make me think that there's a lot
more out there.
385
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,860
Welcome to the dark side.
386
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:03,180
You've got work to do. Let's go.
387
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:10,060
At the start of a new day on Oak Island.
388
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,300
We've got lots of work to do, guys.
389
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,560
Yeah.
390
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:18,960
Laird and members of the archaeology
team investigate the possible man -made
391
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,280
boulder and rock feature on Lot 8.
392
00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:24,480
There's a lot of rocks in here, Laird.
Yep.
393
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,840
I've never seen this many rocks
underneath the topsoil layer.
394
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,140
Yeah, kind of looks like there was a
cut.
395
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,060
And at some point it got filled back in.
I've got the edge here, I think.
396
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,300
Oh. You may be coming to an edge. Well,
I am getting the different soil here.
397
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:45,260
But you should be coming to what we
think may be the redeposited. Well,
398
00:25:45,260 --> 00:25:46,780
a nice big lump right behind Ethan.
399
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,760
You're right, it's mounded. Yeah.
400
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,820
That's a good sign. There was digging
for whatever reason, and then it got
401
00:25:52,820 --> 00:25:53,759
filled in.
402
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,840
You've got this huge rock in the middle.
Like, I find that strange as well.
403
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,540
I think we still have to at least...
404
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:06,920
define the edges as we go all the way
around the boulder. Okay, good.
405
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000
Okay, let's see how far back this goes.
406
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:15,460
To me, this site is one of the strangest
sites I've been on. It doesn't make any
407
00:26:15,460 --> 00:26:21,180
sense that someone would come and
excavate and then fill it back full of
408
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:22,380
It's brutal work.
409
00:26:23,340 --> 00:26:27,500
So I find it very unusual, and I can't
wait to...
410
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,540
get the excavation deeper, and hopefully
answer some of these questions.
411
00:26:39,780 --> 00:26:41,320
Hey, look at this.
412
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,120
It's a piece of wood. Does that look
like that top's been cut before? I
413
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:47,120
do that.
414
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:48,920
Sure does.
415
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,020
Doesn't look like it got snapped off.
No, that's what I'm thinking. I think
416
00:26:54,020 --> 00:26:58,700
that... If that was cut, then that could
have been cut by whoever created
417
00:26:58,700 --> 00:26:59,700
whatever this is.
418
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:03,340
Yeah, I could see that. I mean, that was
deep. That was underneath all these
419
00:27:03,340 --> 00:27:06,380
roots that I've been pulling up. So that
is not something that was on the
420
00:27:06,380 --> 00:27:09,740
surface. Okay. If this was cut, that
would have been years ago. Many years
421
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:10,880
That's what I'm thinking.
422
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,160
The sticks that had cut marks on them,
that's another evidence of cultural
423
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,380
activity happening there. Okay, we
better keep our eye out for stuff like
424
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:19,479
Okay, cool.
425
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,500
As the investigation continues on Lot 8.
426
00:27:25,870 --> 00:27:26,870
Oh, yeah.
427
00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:28,750
Oh!
428
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:35,250
In the Money Pit area... Looks like you
guys are in bedrock.
429
00:27:35,710 --> 00:27:39,030
If he's driving it over, that would be
20 feet through the solution channel.
430
00:27:39,890 --> 00:27:42,590
I guess we missed the void at 148 feet.
431
00:27:42,970 --> 00:27:43,970
Yeah.
432
00:27:44,510 --> 00:27:49,970
After finding no new evidence of the
void that was discovered nearly 150 feet
433
00:27:49,970 --> 00:27:51,590
deep one week ago...
434
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,920
The drilling operation in borehole DN13
has now reached the solution channel.
435
00:27:58,740 --> 00:28:03,020
Bottom's 208, rock's 204. Bottom's 208,
rock is 204. Got it.
436
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:07,380
At least we have intercepted the bottom
of the solution channel in this hole.
437
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:08,700
Here we go.
438
00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:14,300
She's a full -on anaconda, ladies and
gentlemen.
439
00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:16,220
Here we go. Cut her up.
440
00:28:18,380 --> 00:28:19,380
DN13.
441
00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:22,410
This is the last gasp, I think, since
we're on bedrock.
442
00:28:23,290 --> 00:28:24,690
Let's see what we got here in front of
us.
443
00:28:26,270 --> 00:28:28,070
This up here actually was a little bit
loose.
444
00:28:28,930 --> 00:28:35,530
Actually, it got a little loose between
184 and 188, so I think we're ready for
445
00:28:35,530 --> 00:28:36,189
the pinpointer.
446
00:28:36,190 --> 00:28:37,190
Okay.
447
00:28:43,230 --> 00:28:46,530
This is the more promising upper
portion, which is quite slushy.
448
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:52,730
It's clear, gentlemen.
449
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:54,330
Okay, thank you, Charles.
450
00:28:57,150 --> 00:28:59,610
Well, it's not the ending we hoped for
for DN13.
451
00:29:00,430 --> 00:29:05,590
We've had all kinds of success in this
area, with metals being in all the water
452
00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:10,050
testing. So we'll take a soil sample
back to the lab, and maybe, just maybe,
453
00:29:10,150 --> 00:29:11,890
there'll be some hope with this borehole
yet.
454
00:29:12,190 --> 00:29:15,690
I can't believe we've missed an open
void at 150 -ish feet.
455
00:29:16,430 --> 00:29:19,490
If we can prove that there's metals in
the soil here.
456
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,160
And that's through testing through Dr.
Spooner and testing in the lab with
457
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,100
We can prove that this is potentially
still a treasure location.
458
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,460
We'll move on and we'll go back to the
heart of the peacock. And let's try to
459
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:30,399
get back in that void.
460
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,200
Very good. I'm in full agreement with
that, Steve.
461
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,160
Okay, fair enough.
462
00:29:36,780 --> 00:29:42,100
Later that afternoon... Hey, guys. Hey,
guys. Hey, guys.
463
00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:43,940
Hello.
464
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:50,100
Hello. In the war room, Rick, Marty, and
members of the team... Meet with video
465
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:54,140
enhancement expert Bob Brown from
ProHawk Technology Group.
466
00:29:54,440 --> 00:30:00,920
The reason for this meeting is in being
13 .5, we put the camera down and
467
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,900
sonar. It showed a void.
468
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,900
The thought was to give it to ProHawk to
enhance the data that we've given them.
469
00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:11,440
So having said that, Bob, welcome to the
war room.
470
00:30:11,660 --> 00:30:13,340
Appreciate it. Thank you so much.
471
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,660
Here's a little of the footage.
472
00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:21,470
ProHawk Technology Group has worked with
the team several times in the past,
473
00:30:21,650 --> 00:30:27,350
using their proprietary software to
clarify underwater video images
474
00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:29,190
from deep in the Money Pit area.
475
00:30:29,590 --> 00:30:31,250
This one was really interesting.
476
00:30:31,630 --> 00:30:36,670
Really, there were distinct things that
we kind of noticed in the imagery.
477
00:30:39,890 --> 00:30:42,590
So we found this to be quite
interesting.
478
00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:48,530
stake -like pointed objects, right?
479
00:30:49,270 --> 00:30:55,430
It just looked arranged and the shape,
the tapering, the alignment
480
00:30:55,430 --> 00:31:01,870
appears deliberate and would suggest
plank stake something,
481
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:08,550
you know, of human origin rather than
the natural environment.
482
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:15,440
You know, I can see a layering effect in
there that It does look man -made.
483
00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:16,660
Mm -hmm.
484
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,860
We are all intrigued.
485
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,680
It would defy logic that those could be
represented geologically.
486
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,680
It's different, unexplainable, really.
487
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,980
I mean, you guys are dealing with
cutting -edge technology here. Yeah.
488
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:38,080
I still need to be convinced, but it
makes the peacock area that much more
489
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760
interesting, and I think that's what we
have to go off of.
490
00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:46,940
Then there were definitely these
distinct square geometry patterns
491
00:31:46,940 --> 00:31:48,860
many portions of the video.
492
00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:56,140
The edges, the uniformity of it, and you
take it all together and it really
493
00:31:56,140 --> 00:32:01,340
begins to add up. So there's something
that's not organic.
494
00:32:02,620 --> 00:32:07,560
Another area we found, there was a
bright, reflective rectangle.
495
00:32:09,870 --> 00:32:12,990
Right? It's got sharp edges. It's highly
reflected.
496
00:32:15,130 --> 00:32:19,530
So that would lead us to believe that
there's some type of metallic or
497
00:32:19,530 --> 00:32:22,370
quality that's causing the reflection.
498
00:32:23,330 --> 00:32:26,130
A possible rectangular metal object?
499
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:33,690
Has the team indeed found a man -made
chamber some 150 feet underground in the
500
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:37,570
Peacock? Well, yeah. I mean, this is
really keenly interesting.
501
00:32:38,780 --> 00:32:43,520
If so, could it contain the source of
the precious metals that have been
502
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,140
detected in water deep in the Money Pit
area?
503
00:32:46,580 --> 00:32:51,060
Bob, if you had to say how likely at
least one of these is a man -made
504
00:32:51,220 --> 00:32:52,220
what would you say?
505
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,920
I'd put it over 90%. Wow.
506
00:33:05,230 --> 00:33:09,290
Bob, if you had to say how likely at
least one of these is a man -made
507
00:33:09,450 --> 00:33:10,450
what would you say?
508
00:33:10,890 --> 00:33:14,110
I'd put it over 90%. Wow.
509
00:33:14,430 --> 00:33:20,330
In the Oak Island War Room, Rick, Marty,
Craig, and members of the team are
510
00:33:20,330 --> 00:33:26,590
viewing enhanced video of a potentially
man -made cavern some 150 feet deep in
511
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:27,590
the Money Pit area.
512
00:33:28,150 --> 00:33:32,350
It really came down to geometry,
precision, consistency.
513
00:33:33,580 --> 00:33:38,260
The arrangements, the materials, they
strongly suggested man -made origins.
514
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:41,240
It's just really compelling evidence.
515
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,000
An open void is highly unlikely to be
natural for the depth that we're looking
516
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,939
at, right?
517
00:33:46,940 --> 00:33:51,320
Correct. Is there any geologic
explanation for this? Because I can't
518
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,320
think of one.
519
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,500
I would say this is my working premise,
that the peacock is the washout around a
520
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:02,060
structure. And perhaps we're seeing into
that structure from our actual
521
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:06,940
borehole. I mean, it's deeper than any
searcher, and if there are weird
522
00:34:06,940 --> 00:34:11,460
anomalous features that ProHawk's
picking up, it really seems like it's a
523
00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:12,800
depositor. Yeah.
524
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:19,540
I am taken aback by the number of things
being represented in such a small,
525
00:34:19,540 --> 00:34:20,540
confined space.
526
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:27,500
He saw several items that represented
very linear 90 -degree angles that we've
527
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:30,719
been told many, many times that that
doesn't happen in nature.
528
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,860
And I have no explanation for this
reflective image. I can only insinuate
529
00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:40,440
it has something to do with metals being
underground.
530
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:46,620
Perhaps there is a man -made reason for
those highly unconsolidated soils from
531
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:47,620
the peacock.
532
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:53,380
This would strongly suggest that the
offset chamber is a valid explanation.
533
00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:55,520
this area is quite compelling.
534
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,380
Well, I mean, does this look like a
jumble of stuff that could have
535
00:34:59,930 --> 00:35:02,350
It could have collapsed, yes.
536
00:35:03,570 --> 00:35:07,470
Okay, we should jump up and down about
this data, right, guys? I mean, we're
537
00:35:07,470 --> 00:35:12,770
seeing man -made objects or strong
indications of it in an area where we
538
00:35:12,770 --> 00:35:16,990
have any indication of any searchers.
This is the kind of thing that we set
539
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:23,510
to find. You know, for sure we have to
explore this further, but that's pretty
540
00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:24,510
dramatic.
541
00:35:25,070 --> 00:35:29,650
The peacock still has very elevated
amounts of silver and some other metals
542
00:35:29,650 --> 00:35:36,390
it. So here's the point. The source of
these metals in the water is still there
543
00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:38,410
and hasn't been found.
544
00:35:39,010 --> 00:35:41,670
But maybe we just found it.
545
00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:45,250
Bob, we hope you've got a bullseye for
us.
546
00:35:45,490 --> 00:35:48,090
Yeah, I hope so. Thank you very much.
Appreciate it.
547
00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:49,390
You bet.
548
00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:52,070
Our pleasure and happy hunting, guys.
549
00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:53,310
Thanks, Bob.
550
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,140
As the meeting concludes in the war
room.
551
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,780
I'm just looking at these rocks here.
What about if you started from the rock
552
00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:02,658
there, out?
553
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:03,618
Yes.
554
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:08,040
Archaeologist Fiona Steele and members
of the team investigate the boulder
555
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,380
feature on Lot 8.
556
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,960
I'm really interested in what's
happening down there.
557
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,040
There's definitely evidence of the
stones being deliberately placed around
558
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,520
outside and underneath a huge erratic
boulder. Such a big rock could be
559
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,480
something that was used for a marker. It
could be something that you'd want to
560
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,580
hide things under. So it's just so out
of the ordinary that we need a little
561
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:32,620
more evidence before we can make that
full determination.
562
00:36:41,770 --> 00:36:42,910
It's on a piece of wood.
563
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:46,650
I don't know if it's cut, though.
564
00:36:48,310 --> 00:36:49,310
Look at that bottom.
565
00:36:49,590 --> 00:36:50,590
Yeah.
566
00:36:51,050 --> 00:36:53,910
That does not look like it's broken. I
would say that's cut.
567
00:36:55,090 --> 00:36:58,110
It was wedged right in there in between
the rock.
568
00:36:58,570 --> 00:37:01,970
These are the type of things we need to
look out for. It could tell us a lot
569
00:37:01,970 --> 00:37:03,070
about the age of the feature.
570
00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:04,830
Yeah.
571
00:37:05,650 --> 00:37:07,910
Oh, it goes down.
572
00:37:10,510 --> 00:37:12,450
Can you get your arm right in there?
Yes, you can.
573
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:14,570
Whoa, you're going deep.
574
00:37:15,050 --> 00:37:17,250
Yeah, it looks like a void down there.
575
00:37:17,870 --> 00:37:22,650
Got a big void down there. And you would
not expect to see a big void like that
576
00:37:22,650 --> 00:37:23,650
right there.
577
00:37:23,770 --> 00:37:26,750
No, not with the size of the rock and
how loose the soil was.
578
00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:28,030
Yeah, I would agree.
579
00:37:28,460 --> 00:37:32,580
This large boulder is getting more and
more interesting because as we're going,
580
00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:36,240
we're seeing more and more spaces that
are underneath the rock. And this really
581
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:40,980
shouldn't be the case. That really
speaks to what they were doing here.
582
00:37:40,980 --> 00:37:44,740
it's very evident that man has been
involved with this boulder to some
583
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:49,340
It's just a matter of why they were
there or whether they were doing
584
00:37:49,340 --> 00:37:51,160
to hide something in that area.
585
00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:54,140
Well, that's a good indication of
possible disturbance.
586
00:37:54,380 --> 00:37:57,380
I really think that Rick might be very
interested in this. Yeah.
587
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,319
This is really cool.
588
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,320
Definitely.
589
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,680
Well, looks a bit different.
590
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,580
Yeah, we've been working hard.
591
00:38:10,780 --> 00:38:11,618
I see that.
592
00:38:11,620 --> 00:38:15,300
We've uncovered a fair bit more of it.
You should see what we just discovered.
593
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:21,700
Rick and Scott arrive on Lot 8 after
being alerted that a mysterious void has
594
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,000
been found beneath the massive boulder.
595
00:38:24,430 --> 00:38:27,790
We're seeing voids like that around
other areas around the large rock as
596
00:38:27,950 --> 00:38:31,350
It looked like it was going down quite
far. It was falling in as I was
597
00:38:31,350 --> 00:38:32,350
excavating it.
598
00:38:32,530 --> 00:38:35,070
And it goes pretty far down.
599
00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:39,210
Yeah.
600
00:38:44,390 --> 00:38:48,130
It looked like it was at least three
feet that goes down. So that's got our
601
00:38:48,130 --> 00:38:51,670
curiosity piqued that it would be going
that deep. You wouldn't expect to see
602
00:38:51,670 --> 00:38:52,670
that.
603
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:55,670
I find that strange.
604
00:38:56,290 --> 00:38:58,990
See how this almost seems placed?
605
00:38:59,230 --> 00:39:02,170
Jammed up. This one almost seems placed.
606
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:03,830
That's not a toss -in.
607
00:39:04,330 --> 00:39:05,330
Look at that.
608
00:39:05,870 --> 00:39:08,170
That is almost fitted.
609
00:39:09,050 --> 00:39:10,070
As is that.
610
00:39:10,370 --> 00:39:11,430
As is that.
611
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:14,510
You know, like a wedge.
612
00:39:15,150 --> 00:39:16,250
It is peculiar.
613
00:39:16,530 --> 00:39:21,330
Yeah. We've not found any other feature
like this other than maybe the stone
614
00:39:21,330 --> 00:39:23,660
structures. on Lot 5.
615
00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:30,340
Looking at the boulder more closely, I
was significantly struck by the
616
00:39:30,340 --> 00:39:34,180
of smaller stones around it. They are
equally spaced.
617
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,840
They are artfully applied, if you will,
but there is a stone, then a space, then
618
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,280
a stone, then a space.
619
00:39:41,540 --> 00:39:46,620
Mother Nature wouldn't do that. So human
beings were involved in doing some work
620
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:50,100
in this area, specifically directed to
this stone.
621
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,000
This may have been completely unknown to
previous searchers.
622
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,580
It's exciting. We need to find out what
is underneath that boulder.
623
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,440
Boy, there's intention there, I think.
624
00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:08,420
I can't imagine how you could explain
that other than they were placed there.
625
00:40:08,420 --> 00:40:12,440
agree with you 100%. And now you have
another reason to be inquisitive. Why is
626
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,098
the void?
627
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:16,560
That should be filled up. I would think
so. I mean, if you wanted to hide
628
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,760
something there, you move something like
this in place.
629
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:22,440
You position it. I mean, it's a unique
stone. Just look at it. This could be a
630
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,440
great marker stone.
631
00:40:23,540 --> 00:40:25,060
I'm more excited about what could be
under it.
632
00:40:25,460 --> 00:40:27,000
We're going to find out once we move the
rocks.
633
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,740
Look, the three of you have done an
exemplary job here.
634
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,800
This is singularly unique, at least as
of right now.
635
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,480
Yeah, we still have a lot more work to
do, but we're feeling pretty good about
636
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:38,920
how far we've come so far.
637
00:40:39,380 --> 00:40:43,820
A feature like this, one line that comes
to my mind is, leave no stone unturned.
638
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,280
Touchรฉ. We're with you on that.
639
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:52,220
Patience and persistence have taught
Rick, Marty, and the team a priceless
640
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:53,220
lesson.
641
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,760
The ultimate truth behind the Oak Island
mystery may be hiding in plain sight
642
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,280
anywhere across these 140 acres.
643
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:10,680
But as they uncover more clues under man
-made features near the surface, in a
644
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,900
muddy, brackish swamp, and deep in the
Money Pit area,
645
00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:21,360
Will it lead to a vault that people have
been seeking for 231 years?
646
00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:29,520
Or is the truth that Oak Island contains
more buried treasure than
647
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,440
anyone ever imagined?
648
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,180
Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.
649
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:41,780
We're in a sweet area right here.
There's metals in the water. High
650
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,960
We're looking for the one thing. This
could be where it's coming from. Yeah,
651
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,840
exactly. What are you seeing, Peter?
652
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:50,100
Definitely a void that goes on for a
long ways.
653
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,040
We're going to get to the bottom of
this. There's a heck of a lot of bricks
654
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,220
there. Maybe it'll lead to a vault.
655
00:41:57,100 --> 00:42:02,080
We have evidence the Knights of Malta
brought relics from the Holy Land to Oak
656
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Island. Wow.
