Tonight, on the Curse of Oak Island.
We're in a sweet area right here. There's metals in the water. High
Looking for the one thing. This could be where it's coming from. Yeah, exactly.
What do you think, Peter? Definitely a void that goes on for a long way.
We're gonna get to the bottom of it.
There's a heck of a lot of bricks up here.
Maybe it'll lead to a vault.
We have evidence the Knights of Malta brought relics from the Holy Land to Oak
Island. Wow.
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 Knight 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
The BM -14, we're down to 108.
It's not really that soft yet, Steve.
That's right.
At the top of a new morning on Oak Island, brothers Rick and Marty Lagina
their team hope to finally pinpoint a legendary treasure at the bottom of the
money pit.
We're in an area of the Peacock where we've had an open void, and hopefully
we're going to be able to find it again.
We're in a sweet area right here, so if it's there, we'll find it. Exactly.
Today. The team is drilling borehole BN -14 in the so -called Peacock, an area
where they have discovered loose soils between 50 and 150 feet underground
that's at nearly 10 feet above the solution channel.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Two weeks ago, while drilling just three feet west of their current location,
the team found a possible man -made cavity.
measuring 10 feet high. So we're into the hole, okay? And when an underwater
camera was placed in the cavity, they captured images that suggested it could
an offset treasure chamber.
The shape, the tapering, the alignment appears of human origin rather than
the natural environment.
Now, the team has two goals.
First, they hope to drill into the mysterious void again.
and determine just what is in there and second penetrate the solution channel
several feet deeper where high traces of precious metals have been repeatedly
detected in the water who knows what the next core is going to bring us from a
scientific standpoint i am very curious as to what in the heck the peacock is
and hope to get some data on that is it an offset treasure chamber Right above
the solution channel. You have a call, gentlemen.
Knowing what's in the strange areas that are associated with the solution
channel could point us to where the treasure is.
So I think we're on the right track.
What do you got, Adam?
118. 118.
PM 14, 108 to 118.
Looks like it's getting a little soft.
Let's have a look.
Firming up down here, but we're getting quite loose up above. Are we ever.
Yeah, wow.
So this is really coming apart.
Yeah. So I would say there's a little too much sediment.
It's not completely washed out. It's not a void.
No, not yet.
We're getting close to the void. Yeah. So hopefully we're going to find the
offset chamber.
Yeah. Get some evidence of that treasure. Yeah. From here on out, it
interesting.
As the drilling continues in the Money Pit area, Rick and members of the team
arrive on Lot 8, located on the western side of the island.
You got a lot more work done. Yeah.
But I have to ask, Laird, what do you think?
It's weird.
Where members of the team are investigating a massive boulder that
one week ago, and which appears to have been placed above evenly spaced stone.
Because you can see defined edges.
Right.
You can see it coming up here, which is odd.
My curiosity was instigated by the placement of those stones on the
They're almost regularly placed.
Yeah, right. Yeah.
And there's some evidence of a void, a space of some sort under there. Yeah.
You know, the more this shapes up to be something made rather than natural.
The December Triangle?
In 2016, the late author and researcher Zena Halpern presented the team
with a map of Oak Island that she believed had been created by the Knights
Templar in the 14th century.
Curiously, it marked a number of locations in French that, when
English, corresponded with known sites.
such as the money pit, the stone triangle, and the swamp.
Could Doug be correct that this boulder feature might align with another site on
the map known as the December Triangle?
If this is one point on that triangle, there could be a couple more out there.
Well, we might be able to help you solve a part of the mystery.
Peter has a camera. Yeah, okay.
Now, after Laird and the archaeology team...
have begun to excavate a possible artificial void under the boulder. The
will use an inspection camera to look for important clues beneath it.
Peter, put the camera down. Let's see what we see. Where do I go? Right over
this way.
It has been manipulated. We don't know of any efforts in any of this historical
narrative associated to this work on Lot 8, but I think the thing that's in
everyone's mind is what could possibly be underneath it.
What are you seeing, Peter?
Definitely a void that I'm following.
It certainly goes on for a long ways.
I think it's very soft underneath the rock, which is odd.
Okay.
I hit some compact soil.
Is it on the very bottom, Peter?
Yeah, I'm able to follow it down, but this material is much more compact.
It's firm enough that four feet away, I can't push through it. Four feet's a
long way down. Yeah.
If something was buried there, you'd almost expect them to backfill it.
Can you do a test pit right where Peter is? Yeah, that's exactly what I was
thinking. That way, two purposes, what's down and what's in. Yeah.
Both Fiona and Laird are of a like mindset, and that is that we're making
progress in a very archaeologically disciplined way, and they would be
to a drastic change in the approach, i .e. a large excavation.
And I currently agree with them.
I think we got everything we can from the camera.
Okay.
Let's clear it off and see what we get.
I know one thing.
No pun intended, but we're going to get to the bottom of this.
Okay, well, I think we'll let you continue to do your work. Okay.
Okey -doke. Good luck.
See you later.
As the work on Lot 8 continues... It's going to be interesting to see if
we find more stakes, if there is a line that's going to take us right across
into the south end of the swamp.
Craig Tester, Tom Nolan, and other members of the team continue searching
clues in the northern region of the swamp.
It looks like it's heading towards that vault that we found.
I'd love to find another one.
Yeah.
They are hoping to uncover more sections of a cobblestone path found one year
ago in this area that was lined by eight -sided survey sticks and lit to an
empty brick and slate vault.
The vault -like feature on the map is outlined exactly like the vault -like
feature found in the swamp to its heat.
a vault which appeared to be drawn in a 19th century book containing Masonic
codes and a map of Oak Island that researcher John Edwards believes may be
connected to missing treasures of the Knights Templar and a related order
as the Knights of Malta.
I put that right there.
Is that a steak right there?
Maybe.
I think it is.
We'll know in a minute.
Oh. Here we are.
Yep.
There we go again.
Eight sides on that.
Yep.
That's amazing. Very consistent.
It kind of goes to the center area towards the vault.
Yeah, it's moving in that direction.
Al, I wouldn't mind scraping in that area a little bit more to see those
that are at the very bottom there. Yeah. I want to see if there's any kind of
platform or not.
Perfect, yep.
Okay.
As we're uncovering some of the material, you know, we're starting to
rocks. I don't know what it's telling us yet, but it's a starting point.
If it's a road, then we can follow it.
Maybe it'll lead to another vault.
It looks like they're kind of placed in there, but I don't know. Yeah.
Seems like it's an awful lot of swamp material underneath it. Yeah.
Well, sort of like the stone path on the other side. Same idea.
Yeah.
So why is the rock sitting on swamp material?
Yeah, and why is the wood in there mixed with it? Yeah.
Yeah, I think I'll text Dr. Spooner, see if he can come out here.
Yep.
I'd be interested to know what he'd say about it.
Tom? Greg?
Dr. Spooner.
How are you? Good, good.
We have some questions. Hard to believe.
Yep. In the northern region of the Oak Island Swamp, Dr. Ian Spooner arrives to
inspect a possible stone structure that was just uncovered by the team.
And marked with an eight -sided wooden stake.
We're finding, right in through here at least, a number of rocks, okay? And it
seems to still have peat underneath it, like it wasn't sitting on sea level.
Yep. It just seems so crude and yet thought through. And so I wonder if
that ties into some of the other structures that we're seeing with stakes
ground. Yeah. So I'll just take a look. Okay.
As Tom and I were looking at the stones underneath the sand, we felt it was...
a road or path or something it's different from what we see further into
swamp so our thought is let's get in there and see if we can find something
significance that may help date when this structure happens i see theirs
is that a cut piece yeah what we want it and it was down deep yeah it's down
here in the piece good i can test this to try to date the structure
Okay. So what I know for sure is it's at least three rocks thick where I was
digging.
Same with the stone road. I find it amazing. It was built on a swamp. A lot
swamp. Okay.
Well, I'll take that back.
Okay.
Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. Schooner.
We have come to learn that every time you dig in the swamp, you're going to be
surprised. We have found it.
artifacts we have found constructions all of which imply the swamp is very
complex probably as complex or maybe even more so than the money pit
wow
there's a heck of a lot of bricks up here this load
was full of bricks
At least four of them.
Those bricks do remind me of the bricks that are associated with that vault over
there. Oh, yeah?
We're getting more and more bricks.
I'll toss them over.
Bricks found near the newly uncovered stone feature?
Could Craig be correct that perhaps they are related to another vault in this
area?
All the things in the swamp, the vault, the stone road, the stone path, all
these stakes that are going throughout the area.
It was all there for a purpose. Man put it there. It means man was doing
something very significant here. We've got to figure out what.
Between what looks like a stone road and a lot of bricks we found, I think we're
finding something significant here.
Maybe we get to follow it that way and see if we can come up with another
I mean, it's definitely moving to that side of the swamp, so it'll be
interesting to see just where they take us from here.
Okay. Good day.
Thanks, Al.
Excellent. Thank you, guys. Thank you. See you, Mike.
The next day.
So, ladies and gentlemen, we find ourselves in another war room.
And today, Emiliano has kindly offered to come and give us an update on his
research. Thank you, sir.
Rick and members of the team meet with Emiliano Sacchetti.
With what we found on the island, and especially the known historical
between the Knights of Malta and Nova Scotia, I was excited to see what we
find in the historical record.
In light of discoveries made on Lot 5, such as two 17th century buttons, a
number of Venetian trade beads, and a 17th century folded coin that all may be
connected to the Knights of Malta.
What I'm presenting...
Today is almost a year of work.
Emiliano has uncovered new research that he is eager to share with the team.
I conducted this research in Rome, in the Vatican Archive, in Ottawa, at
and Archive Canada, to research the presence of the Knights of Malta here in
Nova Scotia.
Today I'm presenting some new information about Isaac Teresigi, who
governor of Acadia.
In 1632, a wealthy French naval captain at the Knight of Malta named Isaac de
Rosalie led a battalion of approximately 300 men to establish the colony of
Acadia, which is now modern -day Nova Scotia.
And curiously, he built his headquarters, known today as Fort Point,
Havre River, just 15 miles south of Oak Island.
So what we know is that this guy sailed from the west coast of France and in two
months arrived here in Nova Scotia. He landed in Le Havre, where Rosalie built
his fort.
He was travelling with Nicolas Denis, a businessman.
We know that from a journal that Nicolas Denis kept during his time in Acadia.
And there's a passage, a notation, that is really interesting and revealing to
me. And it says, setting out from La Hive, we went clear to the head of this
where we found some other island with big oaks.
Is it possible that the island of oaks described in the journal connected to
Isaac de Rosalie was referring to Oak Island?
If so, was de Rossely simply exploring, or was it because he had knowledge of
something of great value hidden there, based on his high -ranking position in
the Knights of Malta?
Among the other things in Ottawa, what I found very interesting is two
documents.
The inventories of Isaac de Rossely's belongings that were drawn up after his
death in the summer of 1636.
The furniture, clothes, fabric, silverware, everything that was in his
It's very detailed.
One of these two inventories was written here in Nova Scotia, La Haze. The other
inventory, a year later, in France, where the Rassili family was residing.
If you compare the two inventories, some items that were listed here in La Haze
are not present in the inventory a year later.
Between Nova Scotia and France, we have missing items.
In July of 1636, Isaac de Rosley died suddenly of unknown causes.
His belongings were inventoried in Acadia before being shipped back to his
family in France.
However, when a second inventory was taken of what was actually delivered,
several items were not included.
So what are the missing items?
We have a copper astrolabe.
We have two flintlock muskets and two leather -covered chests.
What did those leather -covered chests contain?
Maybe they've been used to move out of the Brazilian reaches.
For now, we know that it never reached France.
And I think I also have some...
Interesting information about his potential presence here on Oak Island.
Oh, really?
Is it possible that Brazil's missing items have been hidden here on Oak
Quite interesting.
Yeah. In the war room, Emiliano Sacchetti has revealed documented
two chests of valuables belonging to Isaac de Roseli, a knight of Malta, who
headquartered near Oak Island, went missing after his death in 1636.
We know that the Knights of Malta did own, or have in their possession, some
relics. The Order brought relics from the Holy Land, so maybe one
of the missions Brazilians men undertook was to move things to Oak Island.
I've always objected to the idea that what was done here was to protect
wealth. Meaning money.
It's something else.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If you're going to go through the effort of engineering a
system like we believe happened here, it's going to be more than just your
of coins, probably, that you put down there.
Yeah.
And two more of the missing Razili items are two flintlock muskets.
That reminded me of what you guys found in Lot 8, and this is this artifact.
You guys know it, and it's amazing tea.
This is a flintlock plate coming from a firearm.
In 2021, while metal detecting on Lot 8, just yards from where the team is
currently investigating the massive boulder feature, Gary and Marty
an iron flintlock plate from a musket that could date as far back as the 17th
century. So we can't rule out the possibility that this was part of one of
missing muskets.
What you're saying is we potentially have some circumstantial evidence that
had a presence here on the island.
Yeah, well, you said it better, but... Is it possible that Emiliano has
found a key piece of evidence supporting the theory that Isaac de Rossoli and
the Knights of Malta brought Templar -related treasures to Nova Scotia that
eventually hidden on Oak Island?
Folded coin.
The Venetian beads, the buttons, the majority of the artifacts are 1600s, so
maybe it's connected with the Knights of Malta.
Isaac de Razzoli was here in Nova Scotia.
There are two missing leather -boned chests.
Might they be associated with a treasure here?
It's possible.
Emiliano, we've had many talks how important research is, and this just
reaffirms that fact.
Ultimately, it will be responsible or partially responsible for understanding
what happened here on Oak Island.
So I applaud you for doing it. I thank you for doing it. Doug and Judy as well.
But there is a search component.
It's starting to look like we have to go to Fort Point.
And I think everyone sitting on this table, we all agree. So we can arrange
that. Could be the important component of finding the answers here. Yeah.
Then we need to go do it. Okay, sounds good.
Thank you.
Later that day.
While members of the team carefully dig beneath the boulder on Lot 8.
All right, here's the next one, Scott.
Several yards to the south, Gary and Scott search for more clues where Gary
already detected and flagged buried metal objects.
close to where the team found the musket flintlock.
Let's go.
Check it out. Yep.
I'd like to find something connected to that feature behind us, mate.
Let me see if I can pinpoint it.
Got it.
There you go. Got it.
Oh.
Shotgun shell. Oh.
You can't win them all.
But like I always tell the guys, you've got to dig through the trash to get to
the treasure.
All right, put it in the pouch and we'll move to the next flag, which is just
over there. We have to keep digging in the area and hopefully recovering
artifacts because one of the great things about metal detecting on Oak
you never know what's going to come out the old necks.
Right, here's the next one, Scott.
Good hit? Yep, good non -ferrous hit.
Should be just there.
Nice one.
Sounds a lot better now.
Be something good.
Got it out.
Ooh.
Right finding the lead.
It's the lead black.
Oh.
Makes you wonder how it gets here.
Yeah, because in the middle of nowhere, it's just one random piece of lead.
Yeah, and you know what you had to go through to dig that out.
Now, I know Catcher found a really nice bale seal just over the wall there.
There's a chance it could be a folded over piece of bale seal. It's possible.
Could Gary be correct that he and Scott may have found another piece of a bag
seal, like the one recently found in this area, that could date back as much
seven centuries?
Well, I'll put it in the bag, mate, and we'll put the flag in there. Sounds
good.
Because the team has recently created a so -called heat map to help them
organize their discoveries across the island, according to their potential
Scott is marking the site of this find with a flag.
Nice one, mate.
A little bit of mystery lead. Moving on.
And the next flag is over it.
All right, let's see what this one sounds like.
Great strong signal just there.
We have a stone's throw away from that feature now, Scott.
Certainly a rocky lot.
There it is.
I like the rocks mate. Helps trap targets from sinking deeper.
What we got here? I know what it feels like and I'm hoping it is.
We have got some big chunks here. I believe this is it. I think this is a
piece of iron. Look.
See that mate? There's a big, big chunk of iron.
Right there.
You could chunk around that, because if this is an old piece of iron, it would
really help us try and explain this feature behind us on Lot 8.
I agree. We need an artifact or something to tie this to man.
Yeah.
It's out.
Oh, what we got here.
Woo -hoo!
Amazing.
Oh, what have we got here?
A couple of links of chain.
Oh, yes.
Older style chain as well. It's oval links.
Yes. On Lot 8, Gary and Scott have uncovered what could be another
clue. It's obviously and forged by the look of it. You can feel it has some
weight to it, like older iron.
I know these oval links are old.
And, I mean, chains go back all the way to Roman days and beyond.
I'd be curious to see the scan of that when they x -ray it, see how collapsed
these links are from what kind of load it may have been pulling. Yeah, that's a
good point.
Just recently, we found some really big ox shoes in a line heading towards this
feature. We have a large boulder right there that we're suspecting may have
moved into place.
If you're going to move that boulder, you need to change for some really big
oxen. Oh, yeah. These could be the missing links.
Could Scott be correct?
Is it possible that this iron chain, might be related to the massive boulder,
where the team has found evidence suggesting that it was lifted and placed
a ring of smaller stones.
When you're looking for connections to this mysterious stone boulder, it don't
get any better than this piece of chain.
Chains are used for pulling and awling. This could be the missing link we've
been searching for to find a treasure like the sound of that.
Well, we know where we've got to go to get the results on this one.
It's back to the lab.
Perfect. Right. A wee flag of victory.
We'll see what Emma has to say about a fine.
Good. Good digging, Scotty. Good finding, Gary.
As Gary and Scott conclude their search on Lot 8.
I think we missed a void at 148 feet.
But we should hit the bottom of the solution channel in this hole.
Yes. Rick and Dr.
Spooner arrive in the Money Pit area, where borehole BN14 has reached a depth
below 150 feet, but unfortunately encountered no evidence of the
-made void.
I mean, I'm still interested because we're at a depth that is right verging
the solution channel, right? Yes. And we're close to your favorite borehole, T
.5 and 13 .5.
Every time you tested that borehole, it returned metal. It's connected to the
solution channel.
Yeah.
The team is hopeful that a major discovery could still be made once the
reaches the solution channel.
Because it was just eight feet away in borehole C .5N13 .5, where water
tests conducted in 2024 revealed some of the highest traces for gold and silver
that have ever been obtained.
We have a cord, gentlemen.
It'll be interesting to see what it is.
Yep.
We didn't find the void.
So, again, my mantra is stick to the plan, cover the area,
use all the data we obtain to dial in on where the treasure might be located.
It's that simple.
What do you got here?
198. 198?
Yeah. Okay.
Good. We're probably now into the solution channel.
Okie doke. Let's cut it open and see what we got.
So is this fan generally seen at this level?
It is a little odd at that depth to have that. It's pretty good sand, isn't it?
Yeah. It's a clear path of water movement.
Absolutely. This would move water very, very nicely.
This could be what you'd expect in a void that got washed.
There's metals in the water, high metals.
But where's it coming from?
Yeah. If you have a till that has gold and it gets washed, it leaves behind the
precious metals that are in the till.
But what we will for sure take is a sample, a large sample of this.
We'll take that thing and bag it.
Several weeks ago, Dr.
Spooner began a new kind of testing procedure to look for precious metals in
soils that the team recovered from the solution channel nearly 50 feet to the
southwest.
Those results are still pending, but could be much more accurate.
than water tests in locating the possible treasure.
We've spent a great amount of time and energy doing soil samples because that's
where the signature, if you will, of metals in the water would be held.
All good? A little more.
So we will continue the soil and water sampling from these depths to try to
ascertain whether or not there are precious metals in the area.
That's good.
It's unfortunate that we didn't find the one thing here, but we have to remember
the point of this exercise was to define the solution channel to a greater
extent. That really was the goal here.
There's always the one chance that there's actually something there. So
why you have to look at it. Every time, in every way, you have to remain
positive. Yes.
So on to the next one, gentlemen.
You bet.
with another golden sunrise on Oak Island.
We've uncovered the weird area.
The rocks are super flat, and they're not in situ. They're on top of what
like subsoil, but that's also loose.
Rick and Gary arrive on Lot 8, where members of the team have just found more
evidence of man -made workings next to the massive boulder.
There's no flat rocks in this whole feature here.
A little like stepping stones for me. They kind of do look like pavers, huh?
They are very unusual.
You should ask Terry where these types of stones might have come from.
Yeah, I think it's a great idea.
We've never seen them before.
No.
I think the archaeologists are actually quite excited about the flat stones
around the Lot 8 boulder because they look for anything that is out of place,
something you might not expect to find.
Hi, guys. Hey, Terry.
Ethan has uncovered some thin, flat stones that just don't look like
else around here. Yeah. So we asked Terry to come down because he's a
and he can give us his opinion about what the feature might be.
Is it natural? Is it man -made?
Okay, that's interesting.
That's granite.
It's almost looked like flagstones, which would show that somebody was
flatten or pave an area.
Yeah. which is curious in itself.
Sure.
Let's have a look at them here.
Those types of flattened granite sheets, it wouldn't happen naturally, I
wouldn't think.
And have you seen it anywhere else on the island?
No, I haven't seen anything quite like that.
Very, very odd.
Putting a name like flagstones to that is reminiscent of the description of the
money pit.
As they started digging, they came across flagstones.
laid out in a pattern like a floor.
In 1795, when Daniel McGinnis and his two friends, Anthony Vaughn and
John Smith, began digging in a strange 13 -foot diameter depression on the
eastern end of Oak Island, they found a uniform layer of flagstones two feet
deep that were packed together as if forming a seal for something buried
they would soon realize that they had discovered the original money pit.
Is it possible that these granite flagstones were buried next to this
boulder for a similar reason as those found at the top of the money pit?
If so, just what might the team find buried beneath them? This is getting
weirder and weirder. Oh, yeah.
To me, the importance of this structure, we'll call it the Lot 8 Mystery.
It's singularly unique.
I think everyone is now firmly committed to the idea that it was manipulated by
people. I don't know what to make of it. I hope as the process continues, and it
will continue, that there will be some answers forthcoming.
It would be interesting what's in your ear.
Yeah. And in order to do that, I guess we'll leave you to your efforts. Terry
and I will go back to work.
Good luck.
Thanks, Terry.
Later that afternoon... You know, we find ourselves in the lab again.
I know this is a chain, Lot 8. That's all I know about it.
Rick has gathered with other members of the team in the lab, where Emma has just
completed her analysis of the iron chain found one day ago on Lot 8.
So, you two were instrumental in the find and the recovery. Why don't you
us about the item in front of us? Yep.
This piece of chain was 20 yards west of the big boulder, and
it's an older shape link.
And I'm hoping that this is an old piece because of the artifacts we've
recovered on Lot 8 already.
Yeah. So what have you found out about it?
Well, first of all, just bring up the CT scan to get a clearer view of the
original shape.
That looks really well made.
Yeah, so it's forged.
The seams, there's no buttons, there's no welding, obvious welding signs. All
these point towards a non -modern length.
So we'll just move on to the composition.
It's a very pure iron. It's averaging at 99%. And I'm just going to say off the
bat, good sign for pre -1800s date range.
Brilliant. What date are you putting on this? Okay, so I'd say comfortably 1600s
based on the composition.
But technically, it could go back to the 1500s. Wow.
So I'd say comfortably 1600s and could technically go into 1500s. Really? Yeah.
In the Oak Island lab, Emma has determined that the pieces of iron chain
on Lot 8 and near the massive boulder feature could date back well over a
century. before the discovery of the money pit.
Especially because you do still see some traces of phosphorus.
So that in there is aligning with the iron industry during that time period.
From the image, though, it's had a hard life, a rough life, because you can see
on the corners how it's thin on the curve. Oh, the wear pattern. Yeah, the
pattern. It went through some heavy workload.
Well, if you were moving a 50 ,000 -pound boulder. Exactly.
You know, it's 20, 25 yards away from that big boulder on Lot 8. We're really
curious. So if it was placed there, this may have been the chain that hauled it
there. The chain's hanging around for a long, long time.
Those dates certainly align with the Knights of Malta. Yeah.
That timeline fits.
We know that, right? We know we're in Fort Point. I think the resolution,
Yeah.
Could Rick be correct that the team has found another piece of evidence that may
tie the Knights of Malta to the Oak Island mystery?
If so, could this chain also be related to the flintlock that was found on Lot
8, the massive boulder feature, and perhaps the two missing treasure chests?
that once belonged to Isaac de Rosalie.
Here we have something that we all probably walked past 20 times.
I'm talking about this big boulder. Well, this says several things, doesn't
First thing you think is, if this is really that significant, and the
archaeologists seem to think it is, how many other things like it are all over
the island?
The other thing we also have is the metal chain found by Scott and Gary.
Probably wouldn't be so significant, except it's fallen very near the big
boulder. So I am very curious as to what this might be.
We don't know what's underneath that boulder yet. Can you imagine when that
boulder's moved?
Maybe this chain was used to lower something down there. There might be
other chain under there, but a different color. Maybe gold?
That would be sweet.
There's all kinds of possibilities about what this boulder represents.
Sure, it could be covering a shaft.
There could be an interment of something precious or significant underneath it.
I think everyone is now firmly committed to the idea that it was manipulated.
We found multiple artifacts in the area. I think it's an important facet to
helping solve the Oak Island mystery.
Well, it's a pretty cool find.
It's an interesting possible connection.
intriguing boulder on Lot 8, right? We have interesting finds in close
that we have yet to explain, which is very interesting.
It begs for more data, but in order to do that, we've got to get out back and
find some more.
That's good to work. Yeah, hopefully there's some more answers.
Okey -doke.
Thank you both. See you later.
See you.
Despite the frustration that Rick, Marty, and the team face, in locating a
cache of gold and silver that has been detected deep in the money pit.
They have now discovered another man -made feature near the surface that may
also contain something of great value and historical importance.
Could both of these sites on Oak Island prove that a generational conspiracy
took place to hide sacred riches from the Holy Land in North America?
The evidence suggests that the team's tireless efforts to find out will be
worth the reward.
Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.
Welcome to Fort Point Museum.
We brought a few artifacts. Do you think that the Knights of Malta would have
used beads like that? Yes, they may well have visited Oak Island.
The kind of loose flurry of mud that we were looking for, that speaks to a
chamber. Or the offset chamber. That's where treasure can hide.
We're all extremely interested in the Lot 8 feature.
We need to see what's under that rock.
Wait, you see that?
Oh my God, there's a pearl.
Can't find what you're looking for?
