Tonight, on the Curse of Oak Island.

Welcome to Fort Park 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.

This is the kind of loose flurry of mud that we were looking for.

That speaks to a chamber. Or the opposite chamber. That's where treasure

hide. We're all extremely interested in the Lottie feature.

We need to see what's under that rock.

Wait, see that? Oh my God, there's a pearl.

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.

Morning, guys.

Hey.

How are you?

As Rick Lagina and members of the team begin a new day of investigation on Oak

Island, they have gathered in the war room regarding a recent and potentially

game -changing discovery.

I think it's an understatement to say that we're all extremely interested in

what the Lot 8 feature might represent.

Right now, none of us can say definitively what this is.

And thus, my thought is that it absolutely was built by the hand of man.

is a huge human interface factor here. It's unquestionable.

It's definitely been altered by humans and not by any humans that we're aware

of. I agree.

This is what I wanted to show you.

Two weeks ago, Laird Niven noticed a massive boulder on Lot 8 near several

partially buried rocks that looked like someone may have set them in place.

As the team dug, they uncovered more buried rocks in front of the boulder.

I find that strange.

But then Rick noticed it was being held in place by a series of evenly spaced

stones.

Whoa, you're going deep. Yeah, you've got a big void down there.

Fiona's deal then began to remove disturbed soil, exposing a tight but

beneath it.

There's definitely a void that I'm following.

The team inserted a snake camera under the boulder, but were unable to tell if

something was hidden below.

We tried the camera. Laird now has the footage.

All right.

Let's watch some shiny gold things.

Here we go.

That's a nice shot. Yeah, that's a lot of different materials under there.

What is that linear thing right above the rock?

That right there, yeah. Yeah, that.

It's right up against the rock. Yeah.

Just the top of the, yeah, on the center there, right there.

Huh. Can you stop it there?

Whoa.

It's linear, that's for sure.

Yeah.

Does that not look like an iron spike?

Yeah.

Yeah, it could be an iron fastener of some kind. Yeah.

It's blue, but they can oxidize blue sometimes, can't they?

Yeah, they can.

And that's consistent with being low oxygen under a boulder.

Is there enough oxygen in there for wood to decay?

You know, I'm thinking, what if there was a wood structure under there and the

spike is all that remains?

I mean, Nova Scotian soils are very acidic.

That's just not great for preserving wood. Right. So it could be that the

is gone and that's all that's left. Yeah. That's how that spike could get

Yeah. It's one way. Could be.

If the team is actually seeing an iron spike beneath the massive boulder, could

Alex be correct that it was once a part of a wooden structure?

If so, what kind of structure was it? And what else might be down there?

What are the chances that we...

We lift this boulder and move it. I think it's worth doing if we can. The

question is if we can. Oh, I'm on the fence with that one. I'm just worried

because if this is a really special, special place or if it ends up being a

really special find, we just have to watch the integrity of it all.

What kind of special site would we be talking about, potentially?

We are searching for treasure on an island famous for treasure. How about

treasure underneath us? I agree, I agree.

The Lotte Boulder feature is one of the most perplexing archaeological sites

I've worked on.

We have to take our time, we have to do things correctly before we can get down

there and see exactly what's under it.

This boulder is so unusual that I have no expectations about what's under

I am prepared for...

Nothing. And I'm prepared for something spectacular.

My takeaway here is we need to see what's under that rock one way or

I'd be a proponent of lifting it if we can think of a way to do it. We didn't

come out here to find the most interesting site on the island and then

investigate it. And so if we can't think of a way to get the material out from

under it that gives us all the information of raising it, then I think

to raise it.

But I'm totally fine, and I completely understand wanting to try every

alternative first because you don't want to destroy something that's potentially

very significant. I think we can get underneath it without lifting this

I mean, I've been working down low. I can see where the rocks are. I can see

where the soil is settled in front. I know we have to be safe from that as

You're not going under the boulder.

Right now.

Is there a part of me that says, come on, let's just go lift it and let's all

grab shovels and dig it up?

100%. Of course we want answers.

Of course we want to find something under probably one of the most

unique finds on the island to date. Right?

We don't want a, oh, if only we hadn't done that moment. At least not yet.

Right. We have to do it safely.

100%. I think I understand where my brother's coming from.

I look at it, and I say, this rock is very important. We need to see what's

under it.

And I don't want to wait to do that. I want to lift this rock tomorrow.

Rick looks at it and says, this rock is very important. Same conclusion, but

it's so important, I want to be careful about moving it.

It's just a difference of approach, but it stems from the same realization.

This is an important feature.

I'd say likely there's something interesting under that rock.

perhaps even treasure.

So we can move forward to try to further understand what this discovery

represents. Perfect. We've got a good plan.

I think we're on the right track.

Yeah. Okay, so to that end, I think we've all got work to do, so let's go

find something else mysterious about this place. Okay. All right.

See you, Craig. See you, Jack. See you, guys.

While the meeting concludes in the war room...

CN 12 .5, Charles. Here we are trying to put another hole in the peacock, trying

to nail this down.

No, I like the location.

In the Money Pit area.

There's a big opening down there. We're going to see if we can find it. Yeah.

The team is drilling borehole CN 12 .5 in the peacock, eight feet northwest of

borehole CN 13 .5.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It was there three weeks ago.

that while targeting the solution channel some 170 feet deep, the drill

a 10 -foot void at just 148 feet.

We've got an opening. One that yielded sonar images of a possible opening to a

much larger chamber and underwater camera images of potential metallic

I've always believed in the offset chamber because it makes sense

-wise. Right.

This has made the team speculate that they may have hit an offset treasure

chamber connected by a tunnel to the original money pit.

Now, they hope to find out for sure in borehole CN 12 .5.

The core of the peacock is a slushy flurry of mud and water. You get that as

get further down into the solution channel.

That's a lot of open, loose material. You know what it tells me, Terry?

That's where a coin or a jewel or something can hide.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully we'll come up with a few pieces of it today.

Wouldn't that be sweet?

As drilling continues in the Money Pit area.

And while the investigation beneath the boulder proceeds on Lot 8.

Another bucket of opportunities.

Yep.

Rick, Craig and other members of the team dig on Tom Nolan's property.

in the northernmost region of the swamp.

They are continuing to search for more sections of a cobblestone pathway

that might be connected to other stone features recently uncovered on the

western side of the swamp, as well as an empty brick and slate vault that was

found nearby in 2024.

Oh wow.

This has got a nice pattern on it, both sides.

See that pattern mate?

Yeah.

What I like about this is this piece has come out of a darker layer, meaning

it's from a deeper depth, so it could potentially be older.

I'll put this in a separate bag because this is a nicer piece.

Okie dokie.

Oh, check this out.

Woohoo! Now that's fiery.

Good eye mate.

That's a piece of earthenware.

Yep. Good eye Rick.

Wow, look at this, Gary.

Gary, what is it?

Oh, yeah, a lot of pottery in that one.

All this, all that, all this. Yeah, there's a lot of pottery here, mate. A

of pottery.

Look at that. It's everywhere.

Now, this is the mobile load when it comes to pottery shards.

We have found bags and bags of pottery in this dig.

If we can get a date on it, you've got a chance to track down who was working in

the area.

Hey, Gary and Rick.

Finding a lot of pottery.

Where are we?

It almost looks like three different types.

We're probably dealing with the same situation here. That last bucket, heck

lot of pottery in it.

Okay.

So we're in a good area.

We should get laid down here.

Get up.

That's a big pile of dirt. Heck of a lot of pottery. Really?

Unbelievable amount of pottery. We'll show you.

In the northern region of the swamp... Hey, Craig, Tom, can you come over?

Yep.

Laird joins the team to examine their large collection of new discoveries.

That's a lot of ceramics. Yep. If you had the pottery expert, mate, we figured

you would be able to tell us if we've got any older pieces in these bags.

It's a transfer -printed puro -ware, refined earthenware, 1840s kind of

era.

And we did get some nice pieces of earthenware there in Beckenbach. Oh,

earthenware, the redware.

The redware is what we're really interested in.

This is unusual.

It's got a glaze on one side and nothing on the other.

More cruded. Doesn't that normally mean an older piece when it's cruder?

Yeah. I mean, this could be the North Devon gravelware, which is old.

And the gravel's referring to a lot of grit in there, which could be a good

marker.

How old is that?

1600s to 1700s. Wow.

Amazing. The littlest pieces always are the most intriguing. Right?

1600s, I love those dates because that makes me think about Isaac de Razzoli

the Knights of Malta.

So that connection I'd love to make stronger.

That'd be pretty significant.

After finding several buttons, a folded coin, and Venetian trade beads on Lot

5 that may be connected to the 17th century Templar -related order known as

Knights of Malta, Rick, Marty, and the team have been researching Isaac de

Rosalie, a prominent member of the order who in 1632

built a stronghold in Le Havre, just 15 miles south of Oak Island, which is now

known as Fort Point.

What I found very interesting is two documents.

And just one week ago, Emiliano Sacchetti provided the team with a 17th

inventory of de Rosli's personal property that went missing after his

1636. We have a copper astrolabe.

We have two flintlock baskets and two leather covered chests.

That's the piece with the best hope of being older.

Could Gary be correct that the team has possibly found important clues that may

help identify who was connected to the Oak Island mystery?

You know, the thing for me is we always talk about how you need to have

corroborative evidence.

Yeah. you know, or complementary evidence, if you will. If we can reach

Fort Point, which is where Isaac de Razzali was, whatever we think we can

complementary evidence to, we should bring. Yeah.

Can we use the artifacts we have found to possibly connect de Razzali to

some efforts here?

I can take all that stuff back if you like.

Yeah, please.

Start the cleaning process.

or the fact that he may have known of some efforts here prior to coming to

Scotia. Take these.

I think we need to redouble our efforts looking into that possibility further.

Okey -doke. And we will continue the work here. Okay. Sounds good. Thanks,

Laird. Let it rip, Al.

We've got a signal, Rick.

And it's right there.

More of a larger signal. There we go.

What have we got here?

Oh, ain't the foggiest what that is? No.

That's what...

I love about our little trips to the lab, mate.

Let's see if we can get any crud off it. That's something.

This has got a curve to it.

It's iron and really heavy.

That's got an old feel about it to me.

There's a stomach wall constructed.

Yep, I think it's some sort of lifting device, and I think there was a ring

here, and this is where your attachment point is.

We're both.

On the same page, mate. We both think this is something to do with lifting or

all in. It could be a shackle or it could be a hook.

We did find that mystery vault a few yards that way, mate. You never know.

could have been used for lifting and placing something in another vault not

far away from us. We know that path we've discovered is leading this way

the vault. If it is any sort of lifting device, it means that... Something heavy

was lifted in this area. Yeah.

We have pottery that might suggest dates as early as the 1600s. And now we have

this tool that could have been used for lifting something heavy.

Well, this area is interesting for all kinds of reasons.

There is some story being written here.

But I would love to see other artifacts found, perhaps even another vault.

The hope is that it resides here.

Well, we'll find answers about this back at the lab. Yeah. I'll put it in the

back. Yeah.

Okay. Game on.

As the investigation in the swamp continues... You guys need a hand?

Hold on.

Whoa.

In the Money Pit area, borehole CN 12 .5 has reached a depth of nearly 140

feet in the pecan.

Great stuff.

This material right from here to there is 138 to 168, 30 feet of drilling.

We only got it with 12 feet of core back.

But that we've seen in the past in the peak. You drill it 20 feet and maybe you

get five, maybe you get six feet of core. Very interesting stuff.

Let's have a look.

This is the kind of loose flurry of mud that we were looking for.

This is the cakey material that stayed in the core barrel.

We've got a whole 15 feet that didn't even come up because of the washed -out,

slushy flurry down below.

That's where treasure can hide.

That's exactly right.

Charles, 30 feet of drilling, we've got 12 feet of recovery. That speaks to an

opening somewhere in that area, perhaps a chamber or the offset chamber.

Down there, Terry.

Charles, that material there, all the way from about 145.

to here to about 160.

That's an interesting depth. Yeah. And that speaks to its offset change.

Yeah.

In the Money Pit area, the drilling operation in borehole CN 12 .5 has

encountered evidence of a nearly 20 -foot void approximately 145 feet

underground.

Let's just carve the rest of this up, Charles, and you're going to go over it.

I'm going to go over it with the pinpointer to carve it up first. Let me

up for you a little bit.

Yep.

Is it possible that the team has discovered a larger cavern that could be

connected to the potentially man -made void they encountered three weeks ago?

If so, just what might it contain?

It's getting really blocky down below.

You get that as you get further down into the solution channel. I think this

the kind of information that we're looking for that says there is a

between the peacock and the solution channel. Yeah.

Now we just have to follow that void to the bottom of the solution channel and

hope we encounter the artifact or the treasure. It's going to change

It's clear, Terry. No metal in this one.

All right. We'll write it up and move on.

So that's the 168. Let's see what they give us from 168 now.

It's down there, Charles.

It's down there, Terry. We just haven't found it yet. Yeah.

The following day, as work continues on Oak Island.

Okay. I'm excited to go see Fort Point today because we have a lot of questions

about Isaac Deresley and if he did go to Oak Island at any point.

Alex, Peter, Judy Rudabush, and Emiliano Sacchetti are traveling some 15 miles

south to Le Havre, Nova Scotia.

I think Joan is the perfect person to answer some of those questions for us.

I'm hoping that she can give us some really good input.

Yep.

They have a rain.

to visit the historic site known as Fort Point, which was originally established

as a French stronghold in 1632 by Isaac de Rosalie, a high -ranking member of

the Knights of Malta.

Wow.

Beautiful location.

You can see why they chose it.

Hello. Welcome to Fort Point Museum.

Thank you. Nice to see you. Hi there. My name's Alex. Very nice to meet you.

Joan, right? Joan, yes.

Joan Dawson.

He's a local historian and author who has written several books on both the

founding of Nova Scotia and Isaac de Rosalie.

We brought a few artifacts.

Would there be a place to look at these at all? Yeah, with a table in there.

Okay. If you'd like to put them up there. That would be great. Yeah.

So we have in this room some of the early information about Isaac de

So if you'd like to have a look around in this room, and then I'll meet you in

the other room, and we can take it from there. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Rick always talks about connective tissue and tying Oak Island to the

treasure depositors that we're investigating.

These are items right from the family.

In this case, we have Isaac Durazly, who could be the connective tissue between

Oak Island and the Knights of Malta.

So this would have been the kind of clothes he would have worn possibly as a

member of the Knights of Malta in the 1600s, like it says.

Looks like it may have been red because of the stature.

Oh, because he was higher ranking?

I wish we'd find something similar to that on the island. Yeah. The Maltese

dress.

So that symbol was in use in the 1600s. So if we find that symbol on Oak Island,

then that's a dead giveaway.

Oh, yeah.

Probably a good place to start would be...

What is known about Isaac de Radley during the time that he was here?

Well, we know that he had written a document before coming here talking

colonization and how important it was and how it enhanced the prestige of

and the French king.

The king certainly sanctioned the expedition.

So he came over in 1632.

He organized the community here. He had a fort built.

on the site where we are now.

So he was obviously in charge.

Is it fair to say he was a wealthy man?

Well, he was an aristocrat.

His family were landowners.

He would have been fairly well off, yes.

Good lifestyle, which he obviously intended to set up here. Right. He was

happy to come here and to set up this place.

Unfortunately, in fact, he died, and we don't know quite of what caused it, but

it was unexpected, and he died in July of 1636.

So, Joan, we're just trying to figure out the connections Isaac de Radley had

the Oak Island mystery and the other orders and powers that he was associated

with, like France, the Knights of Malta. He was an enthusiastic Knight of Malta,

yes. He wrote a letter to the leader of the Knights of Malta.

suggesting that they should really set up something like a monastery in Nova

Scotia? Well, perhaps there's a connection to a settlement on Oak

have an archaeological site there on Lot 5 that appears to have had about two

periods of occupancy. There's some suggestion that there was an occupation

the 1600s. That's interesting.

So here's an artifact from the Lot 5 feature. I'm just curious if you came

across any sort of beads that are similar to this here on this location.

Good heavens, no.

But I would say it was beads for trading with the Mi 'kmaq, the indigenous

people, yes.

Do you think it's possible that Isaac de Radley would have used beads like that

for the purposes of trading?

Yes.

And you get that from the French.

Certainly they had traded with the indigenous people. So, yes, I'm sure

was doing it, too.

Well, that's interesting because we're wondering if that could be a potential

connection between, if not de Razly, then the group that he was associated

being involved with some work on Oak Island. And I'm sure you are aware of

but we know that from the journal that he used to sail

from La Haye.

up towards Mahon Bay, but... Well, they certainly went, they went on this

expedition with two local priests along with them. Exactly.

And they went into Mahon Bay, yes. And they also describe an island filled with

oaks. Yes, well, certainly, I mean, they didn't say which of the islands in

Mahon Bay they visited, but they may well have visited Oak Island.

There you go.

While he was here, they may well have visited Oak Island, so I'm sure there's

connection. At Ford Point, some 15 miles south of Oak Island in La Hague, Nova

Scotia, historian Joan Dawson has confirmed that the Venetian beads

on Lot 5 are the same type that Isaac de Rosalie and other members of the

Knights of Malta would have used as currency in this area back in the 17th

century.

So we have all these other European artifacts on this site on Lot 5, which

indicates a potential connection to the Knights of Malta. Yes.

So one of the things that are actually really interesting

is this one.

This is a flintlock plate coming from a musket we found in

Lot 8.

And as we know...

This kind of mechanism was French.

Yes, that's right.

And that's interesting because we found two inventories of the Razzili's

belongings. Yes, yes.

And according to the document, we have listed two flintlock muskets that

never arrived to tour. Yes, that's interesting.

Did they go to France?

Did they stay here?

Exactly. And also, I read that he sucked the Razzili.

came here with 300 men, and they were an elite corps. Yes, so they were

obviously well trained and well armed. So the question is, could this be

something that Isaac de Razilly lost?

That could be.

It is strange. There are several things that didn't get back to France.

Yes, also some chests went missing.

It's interesting comparing those documents.

We can call it a coincidence.

But that is another interesting possibility that they eventually ended

up in a place like Oak Island.

It's a mystery.

Yes, indeed.

That is very interesting.

Yes.

What really strikes me about this guy is how little we know about his time here

in Nova Scotia.

We know he came here. We know he came here with a significant amount of

resources because he was trying to establish A trading post, at least

official story.

And then we don't know what he did.

We've established that he had the opportunity to do something on Oak

We've established that he had the means to do something on Oak Island.

Now we need to look for his motive.

Okay, we brought one more thing along, and it's a book. Oh, yeah.

And it was the book that led us to our idea to go to Malta.

I have acquired two ancient books.

Publication date was 1812.

And then the second book has a publication date of 1763.

In 2023, researcher John Edwards presented the team with two books that

he believes are part of a five -volume series.

They contain Masonic codes, passages of ancient Hebrew writings, and references

to sacred religious treasures that many believe the Knights Templar and the

Knights of Malta may have hidden on Oak Island.

And curiously, one of the books in the series also featured a hand -drawn map

the island, along with a possible depiction of the vault that was

the swamp.

Now there's the Maltese Cross.

Yes, and it's beside that. It even says that. Take a look at that. It just says

Malta, yes.

We don't know much about this book. We have the Maltese Cross, so we're

thinking.

Perhaps there's a connection to a settlement that was founded by a member

Order of Malta.

Oh, it's Josephus, okay.

You're familiar with Josephus and what he wrote about? Yes, I know he wrote a

history of the time of Christ.

Oh, okay.

Flavius Josephus was a first century Jewish military leader and scholar who

documented many historical events of ancient Israel.

He is also credited... with being one of the first historians to author a non

-biblical account about Jesus of Nazareth and his crucifixion under

Pilate.

We believe there's a code in there somewhere. Well, I'm just looking at

margin here, which seems to be a code of some sort.

I think, in fact, if he had a library of any sort, this is the kind of thing

that might well have been in it.

Has Joan...

possibly help the team uncover new clues in the books related to the beliefs and

priceless religious treasures that some believe the Knights Templar and Knights

of Malta buried on Oak Island.

The fact that Joan not only recognizes possible clues in this book and its

author, but also that she says it's the kind of thing that a Knight of Malta

would have in his library, I think is very significant because this book

drawings and codes and messages that we think pertain and relate to Oak Island.

So that right there is our connection between the Knights of Malta and Oak

Island.

Well, Joan, thank you very much for your time. We really appreciate it. Well,

thank you very much. It's been very interesting for me.

I did this research a long time ago, and it's nice to remember it all.

Lovely to meet you all. Thank you as well.

As a new morning dawns on Oak Island.

So there, 288 to 208. So you got 10 feet of material, 208.

Okay, great.

Members of the team hope to make a breakthrough discovery at the bottom of

peacock in borehole CN 12 .5.

More loose stuff.

Here's the bedrock at about 204.

Yep. After encountering a nearly 20 -foot void some 140 feet underground one

ago that may be connected to a possible offset chamber, I mean, we got exactly

what we were looking for. All of this material is very, very loose. Things

have fallen down through.

The team is now examining core samples from the bottom of the solution channel,

an area where any potential treasure might have fallen.

We expected to see slushy, slurry, washed -out areas that things could fall

into. We're looking at a whole great big bunch of it now, Charles.

You hand me a cutter, Jerry?

Scalpel.

Let's do it. Let's operate.

If you're looking for evidence of a washed -out void or a muddy spot, this

it.

So, I'm going to separate this out a little bit, and you're going to run the

pinpointer over it, I think, Gerald.

That's what I'm going to do. We're looking for metal right now.

And I'm afraid there's no metal in that.

Right. Well, that's disappointing. But again, we've been hitting loose water

material all the way from 138.

All the way down to, here we are at 204. We're still in this material here. This

is perfect to hide the one thing.

Gold will pass down through that like a hot knife through butter.

I mean, this is tailor -made for exactly what we're talking about.

This material is getting sampled.

Unfortunately, no artifacts or solid evidence of treasure have been found in

core.

However, the team may still be able to find valuable clues in the muddy soils.

get a representative sample of this loose material.

We'll see if we can take it back to the lab, see if they'll detect any precious

metals. And that should do it for that.

The peacock, it's singularly unique, according to Terry.

It's highly unconsolidated soil.

It seems to be almost floating in space.

Okay, here we go.

It checks all the boxes for an offset chamber that has collapsed down at the

solution channel and thus every reason to grab samples of that, send them off

the lab, and hopefully find something.

We've got to keep coming back to this hot area because it's so tempting. We

more information there, right? There's lots of places down there for a treasure

to hide.

On to the next. Sounds good to me.

As Terry and Charles prepare soil samples for testing.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Hi. How are you? Might look a little different now.

It's a little.

You can kind of peek in there.

Rick and members of the team arrive on Lot 8, where more soil has been removed

from beneath the massive boulder feature.

Any finds yet?

No, we haven't yet, but we are screening all of the soil that's coming out of

here. When you see the rock pinned like this, it's looking at this point like

somebody has excavated out an area of this to get underneath the boulder.

When's the last time you put the camera down?

Not since we've moved those rocks.

We really only just got to the point that we've exposed that underbelly of

large boulder.

We have all these stones around that really are tightly placed, and there's a

bit of a pathway clearance underneath it right now. So we've had to just scoop

out a lot of dirt first. But I'd love to see what that camera can show us. We'll

get the camera operator right there.

Peter, how about it?

Let's do it.

Archaeology is a slow -paced science.

It's just the nature of the work.

Stay focused, Pete. Okay.

Look, at this point, I want to dig it up. I want answers.

I think everyone that is currently endeavoring to uncover what this boulder

might represent is recommending that very thing. Let's do this slow. Let's do

right. Let's make certain that we don't make mistakes.

I'll show you there's a really good spot.

All right.

Okay, now I'm in, in underneath.

Okay.

Let's see what we can find.

You see anything there? Nope. Okay. Let me see if I can go farther. All right.

What do you see, Peter?

There's definitely room.

How deep do you think we're in? Probably in about a couple of feet.

Want me to try and go down a little further? Absolutely.

Drop that.

Go ahead, but slow, slowly.

What's that bright blue thing?

Oh, go back a little bit?

No, go forward, just slow.

Slow, slow.

Wait, see that?

Pull forward a little bit, just a touch.

Yeah. Whatever that is.

I have no idea.

It doesn't look like a rock.

But if you go forward into it, it feels like a rock?

Come take a look at this.

Am I in the right spot?

Here,

that's what it is.

It doesn't look like a rock.

Go towards it a little bit more.

It certainly looks different than everything else. Yes, it does.

That's probably the most interesting thing yet.

You want to pull it back just a little bit?

My God, that looks like it's a pearl.

Didn't that look like a pearl?

Yeah. Certainly looks different than everything else. Yes, it does.

Show a few of that.

After reinserting a camera beneath the massive boulder on Lot 8... That very,

very circular piece, like almost too perfect.

Yeah. Rick and members of the team...

believe they see new evidence of possible hidden treasure.

Pearl. I see why you're saying that now.

I'm not saying it is, but that's where your mind goes immediately.

Yeah. Gary, take a look.

Of course you don't have scale.

Yep. But you have the big rock.

Oh, you're thinking.

I think pirates and pearls.

It does look like a pearl. Yeah, it does look like a pearl, yeah.

It's hard to believe that it's stone.

It's perfect.

It's almost luminescent.

Okay, now I'm going to go back and in again slowly.

But I can't quite tell where it's going to go. Okay.

So stop. Yep.

Black.

Yeah, just black.

Okay. It might be covered. Yeah, okay.

We couldn't maneuver the camera any closer.

But now we have a potential target for further investigation.

That makes me more excited.

And I wonder what else might be down there.

There's nothing as of yet that says that we should cease activities here.

If anything, it speaks eloquently to we've got to continue.

Right. Yeah.

It's a bloody mystery, that is for sure.

What about a shot back?

I was thinking exactly that.

I think it would be a great idea.

Yep. Yep. I think.

Vacuuming that out would be a great next step. One, you would collect whatever

might be there. And two,

it will open that up further so you can get the camera down.

Yep, I agree.

And metal detecting and hopefully pinpointing. If I can get my arm in

we can hit some metal, we're in business.

Yeah. We shall leave no stone unturned. It's not supposed to be turned.

There is a reason here that people went to some effort to create the Lottie

feature. And the only reason I can think of is that human beings wanted to put

something under this stone.

You know, we should apply whatever assets we have to try to understand

under that boulder.

I think we are all mystified by it, certainly.

But the only way to find out is to proceed. You have a path forward.

Let's see what we can do.

As Rick, Marty, and their team.

strive to solve a mystery that has defied generations of faithful

important lesson has become crystal clear. They must look deeper than ever

before to find the answers.

Deeper in the money pit.

Deeper below features that have gone unnoticed by others.

And deeper into history.

Because what they may ultimately uncover could have a value.

That is beyond earthly calculation.

Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.

It's designed to hide something.

I want to pick it up and see what's under there.

Well, this could get interesting.

Yeah, that's great.

Somebody was in here doing this. It looks like a road towards where the

is. Yeah.

You got something in here.

Look, it's all through it. This is very, very important.

Maybe the thing.

We processed these deep samples from the Money Pit area and found something

interesting. We could be closer than we've ever been. Amen.
