1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,320
(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) Tonight, on The Curse of Oak Island.
2
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:05,100
It's designed to hide something.
3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,760
I want to pick it up and see what's under there.
4
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:08,780
Well, this could get interesting.
5
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:10,340
Oh, yeah, that's great.
6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,160
Somebody was in here doing this.
7
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,180
It looks like a road towards where the vault is.
8
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:14,640
Yeah.
9
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,180
We got something in here.
10
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,600
Like, it's all through it.
11
00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:18,660
This is very, very important.
12
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,940
Maybe the thing.
13
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,360
We processed these deep samples from the Money Pit area
14
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,280
and found something interesting.
15
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,620
We could be closer than we've ever been.
16
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:28,080
Amen.
17
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:34,200
There is an island in the North Atlantic
18
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,080
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
19
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,500
for more than 200 years.
20
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,560
So far, they have found a stone slab
21
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,140
with strange symbols carved into it,
22
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,720
man-made workings that date to medieval times,
23
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,840
and a lead cross whose origin may be connected
24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,280
to the Knights Templar.
25
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,240
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery,
26
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:04,019
and according to legend,
27
00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:07,180
one more will have to die
28
00:01:07,180 --> 00:01:10,180
before the treasure can be found.
29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Hey, guys.
30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:24,620
Wow.
31
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:25,760
Hi.
32
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,840
How are we all doing?
33
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:28,460
We're doing great.
34
00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:30,180
It looks like the booby trap
35
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:32,060
in the Indiana Jones movies, doesn't it?
36
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:36,480
As a bright new morning begins on Oak Island,
37
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,100
Rick and Marty Lagina and their partner Craig Tester
38
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,180
join other members of the team on Lot 8
39
00:01:43,180 --> 00:01:47,120
to continue investigating a potentially breakthrough discovery,
40
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,280
a massive boulder that sits above a series
41
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,880
of smaller, evenly spaced stones
42
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,760
that strongly suggest it is not a natural formation.
43
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,440
There's this trench that they've excavated
44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360
that goes well below the bottom of the boulder
45
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,780
that was filled with rubble that's all over there.
46
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:08,380
You dug all that out from under there?
47
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:08,780
Yes.
48
00:02:08,979 --> 00:02:09,079
Wow.
49
00:02:09,079 --> 00:02:09,340
Yep.
50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280
This was a huge effort for somebody to do this.
51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,800
We just don't know when, why, and who.
52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Okay.
53
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,040
Yeah.
54
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,800
There's actually voids underneath the rock.
55
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,320
We had a camera in there, and you could see spaces.
56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Okay.
57
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,240
In recent weeks, the team has found links of a chain
58
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,660
that could be 500 years old,
59
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,360
as well as a potentially 700-year-old English bag seal
60
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,400
near this feature.
61
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,300
I'll show you. There's a really good spot.
62
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,340
All right.
63
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:43,780
And after feeding a snake camera into a small void
64
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:45,880
that was discovered below the boulder,
65
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,780
they've seen not only a possible iron spike,
66
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,760
but perhaps evidence of treasure.
67
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,580
It looks like there's a pearl.
68
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,160
Yeah.
69
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,140
One of the key things here is that the trench you see,
70
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,180
it's a trench that was made by somebody.
71
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Sure.
72
00:03:04,260 --> 00:03:06,560
So somebody was trying to get,
73
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,480
and probably did get, underneath the rock with excavation.
74
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:11,360
Okay.
75
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,860
What about it's a plug?
76
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:16,520
It's a plug. It's designed to hide something.
77
00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:19,280
I think it is covering something,
78
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,820
some sort of cavity where something was placed.
79
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:22,460
Yes.
80
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:24,560
Something's under there, in my opinion.
81
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:26,860
That's more exciting.
82
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,940
I mean, somebody tunneling underneath it
83
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:29,900
could have just been a searcher.
84
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,300
Somebody plugging something wasn't a searcher.
85
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,040
And it really doesn't appear to be modern.
86
00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:38,880
You can see the soil stains on the bottom
87
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,140
of those two big rocks there.
88
00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:42,420
That's an indication that these rocks have been
89
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:44,500
sitting in that soil for a long period of time.
90
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:44,960
Right.
91
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,380
Possibly before the money pit was discovered.
92
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,820
The Lot 8 boulder is the thing we weren't anticipating,
93
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:58,120
and it's very exciting because 100% of the archaeologists
94
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,300
and the scientists who've looked at it
95
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:01,300
said it was moved there.
96
00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:05,320
We are quite sure nobody in the searcher record
97
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,280
ever said anything about this boulder.
98
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,700
This is our find, and we get to figure out what it is.
99
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,519
Is it possible that those rocks could be
100
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:17,920
excavated rocks from a tunnel, say?
101
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:19,360
Could be, right?
102
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,180
Okay, here's the next question.
103
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,920
What are the rules at this point, Laird?
104
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:25,340
What's the archaeological rules?
105
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:26,660
I mean, I just come right out and say it.
106
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,160
I want to pick it up and see what's underneath it.
107
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,220
We heard that.
108
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Yeah, no, for sure.
109
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,220
I mean, and nothing I've seen here makes me not want to.
110
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,160
We are on a treasure hunt, and we have limited time.
111
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:39,300
I think our job is to determine significance.
112
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:40,640
Yeah, I'm with you.
113
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,460
But what would be wrong with plopping,
114
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,240
picking that straight up, and then seeing what's under there?
115
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,140
Is there any reason we cannot?
116
00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:50,520
Let's say there is something significant.
117
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:51,000
Let's say.
118
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:54,440
The most effective way, unfortunately,
119
00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:56,980
is to excavate it by hand.
120
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,960
I'd prefer to go to where Fiona is and work along that edge.
121
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,160
Well, you can do that with it over there.
122
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:04,580
Seriously.
123
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,000
You have to remember, you know,
124
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,260
archaeological context is important here.
125
00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:13,440
If we do this in haste and we do some harm,
126
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,440
we cannot put it back.
127
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:19,840
I would prefer the archaeologists do as much work
128
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,160
as they deem necessary,
129
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:24,740
and only then we engage in the possibility of a lift.
130
00:05:25,940 --> 00:05:27,260
When would you call it done?
131
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,540
I think safely we can only take one other side down,
132
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:33,100
I would think.
133
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,260
And then we'd have to look at some way to dig underneath.
134
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:38,400
Yeah, exactly.
135
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,320
One thing that's limiting us are these three boulders.
136
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:43,900
Yeah.
137
00:05:44,780 --> 00:05:47,900
Well, then we should at least make a road in here for a backhoe,
138
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,100
because you're not going to move those without one, are you?
139
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,540
To continue this safely, those have to go so we can have more room.
140
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,540
But you're fine with us bringing an excavator in
141
00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:59,440
and moving these bigger boulders out?
142
00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:00,640
Yeah, of course.
143
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:03,880
Don't let my impatience give you the wrong message,
144
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:06,260
because I am impatient, but this is exciting.
145
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,940
This is really cool.
146
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:08,640
Yeah.
147
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:12,100
So anyway, the sooner you guys can get back to work,
148
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:13,860
the sooner we can do all of this.
149
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,940
So get back to work.
150
00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:16,300
Get busy, eh?
151
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:17,000
What did you guys say?
152
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:22,200
As the investigation of the large boulder on Lot 8 continues.
153
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:26,020
Looks like we have a cord, gentlemen.
154
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,460
Thanks, Lee.
155
00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:28,480
No problem.
156
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:29,320
Okay.
157
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Hey, guys, here it is, H.5-9, 168 to 178.
158
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Hand me a cutter.
159
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,240
In the Money Pit area, Terry Matheson, Charles Barkhouse,
160
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,380
and Steve Guptill are overseeing a new cord drilling operation
161
00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:47,060
in borehole H.5-9.
162
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,620
Yeah, this is just gypsum, gentlemen.
163
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,280
Solid gypsum all the way down to 178.
164
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:52,620
Yep.
165
00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:54,260
Right into the bedrock plateau.
166
00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:54,900
Yeah.
167
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,340
As we drill down,
168
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,500
oftentimes we will intersect the bedrock plateau,
169
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:01,240
which is a gypsum ledge,
170
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,180
and then we'll push below it into loose, slushy areas,
171
00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:07,700
which we hope the treasure has fallen into.
172
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:10,020
What lies beneath is the most important thing anyway.
173
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:12,500
We're in the solution channel, I would say, in about a foot or two.
174
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:12,940
Yep.
175
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,340
After drilling several boreholes some 50 feet northeast
176
00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:20,020
in the so-called Peacock
177
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:24,760
and collecting soil samples to be tested for evidence of precious metals,
178
00:07:25,460 --> 00:07:29,140
the team is returning to an area where previous water testing
179
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:32,000
has yielded high traces of silver and gold
180
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,260
over 200 feet deep in the solution channel.
181
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,420
I have high hopes for this one
182
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:42,140
because it's very close to where we were before, H.5-8.5,
183
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:45,540
where we found that piece of a drill right from the 1850s.
184
00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:47,300
Just merely 2 feet from this location.
185
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:47,860
Yeah.
186
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,100
While waiting for results of the soil tests from the Peacock,
187
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,080
the team is once again drilling in an area
188
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,660
where several weeks ago they recovered pieces of an iron drill rod
189
00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:04,300
that may be connected to a critical searcher operation from 1849,
190
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,540
one in which a drilling foreman named James Pitblato
191
00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:12,540
reportedly unearthed a 14th century silver coin
192
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:14,700
related to the Order of Christ,
193
00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:17,660
a Portuguese sect of the Knights Templar.
194
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Looks like we have a core, Jerry.
195
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:21,120
We got it coming now.
196
00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:25,560
The scientists tell us some big source of precious and other metals
197
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,020
is still in the Money Pit.
198
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,300
It's consistent with the Pitblato discovery.
199
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:29,900
Thanks, Lee.
200
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,960
No problem.
201
00:08:31,419 --> 00:08:36,220
Some guys, they pushed all the way from 178 down through to 210 here.
202
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,299
They pushed into relatively soft material.
203
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:39,340
Let's see just how soft.
204
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,539
Let's carve it up.
205
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:44,080
Yeah, this is nicely soft.
206
00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:46,300
That's very loose material at the top.
207
00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:47,440
We haven't hit bedrock yet,
208
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:48,940
so we know we're in one of the deeper portions
209
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:49,960
of the solution channel here.
210
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Yeah.
211
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,840
Charles, I think you can have that if you like.
212
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:57,940
Unfortunately, gentlemen, not in this,
213
00:08:58,780 --> 00:08:59,980
but it could be the next one.
214
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:01,540
I know you got to leave, Steve,
215
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,420
but we'll go through the core
216
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:05,060
and hopefully get some more results for you.
217
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,140
Thank you, fellas.
218
00:09:06,340 --> 00:09:06,860
See you later, Steve.
219
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:07,600
Yeah, see you, Steve.
220
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:08,720
Here it comes.
221
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:11,800
What do you got, Leighton?
222
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,360
210 to 218.
223
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,740
210 to 218.
224
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,460
Thank you.
225
00:09:15,860 --> 00:09:16,540
Not a problem.
226
00:09:19,180 --> 00:09:20,040
This is the bottom.
227
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Looks like they got well into the bedrock.
228
00:09:23,260 --> 00:09:23,440
Yeah.
229
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,820
So when you're down that deep, you're over 200 feet,
230
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,060
anywhere where you might encounter the treasure,
231
00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:29,660
that's where we have to keep our eyes peeled.
232
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Thank you, Leighton, fellas.
233
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:33,900
But as far as I'm concerned, this year,
234
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,120
we're as close as we're ever going to be to reaching down,
235
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,220
touching that treasure beyond all imagining,
236
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:39,780
deep in the heart of the money pit.
237
00:09:41,780 --> 00:09:43,100
It's a little more promising,
238
00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:47,020
but not the open, washed-out slurry that we hoped for.
239
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,440
No.
240
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:50,820
I'm going to go over this.
241
00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:52,240
Something might get driven down, you know.
242
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:54,740
There we go.
243
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,360
Okay.
244
00:09:59,500 --> 00:09:59,940
Oh.
245
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Whoa.
246
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,900
We got something in here.
247
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,200
I'm getting a metal head in here, Jerry.
248
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:08,840
Excellent.
249
00:10:09,940 --> 00:10:10,380
Wow.
250
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,840
Interesting, Charles.
251
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,200
We got something in here.
252
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:24,280
Okay, you want to take it over to the table?
253
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,460
Yeah, let's.
254
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:26,160
Let's do that.
255
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,320
In the money pit area,
256
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,060
relatively precious cargo.
257
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,580
Here we go.
258
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:35,200
After reaching a depth of 218 feet near an area
259
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,260
where the team has previously detected silver and gold
260
00:10:38,260 --> 00:10:39,360
in the solution channel...
261
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,940
Terry, wouldn't it be nice to get a silver coin
262
00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:42,500
or something here?
263
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,520
Yeah.
264
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,100
The one thing?
265
00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:47,000
They have recovered a fresh drilling core
266
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,440
that might contain something made of metal.
267
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:52,180
That was ringing clear as a bell, Charles.
268
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,620
Now nothing.
269
00:10:57,420 --> 00:10:58,360
Isn't that odd?
270
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,100
That is frustrating.
271
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,540
Doesn't make any sense.
272
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,500
You know, I think we should give Katia a call,
273
00:11:08,620 --> 00:11:10,940
come out and go over it with a big metal detector.
274
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:11,920
Maybe there's a detector.
275
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:12,440
Yeah.
276
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,200
We could be where Pippolato discovered a silver coin
277
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,080
on the pod auger after it was brought up to the surface.
278
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,500
So when Katia comes up,
279
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,680
maybe she'll find something substantial in this core
280
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:27,640
that I missed.
281
00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:29,220
Get her all on the table.
282
00:11:29,460 --> 00:11:29,980
Here we go.
283
00:11:31,380 --> 00:11:32,260
Go that way.
284
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Pull tight, pull tight, pull tight.
285
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:35,760
There we go.
286
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,520
What do we have?
287
00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:38,360
How you doing, Katia?
288
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,300
Well, I initially got a hit, right?
289
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,160
We bring it over to this table,
290
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,700
and I don't get the hit anymore.
291
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:46,900
So it's all yours.
292
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Oh.
293
00:11:56,570 --> 00:11:57,590
What are those chirps?
294
00:11:58,250 --> 00:12:00,470
I'm not seeing what it is.
295
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:04,950
I'm going to try and pinpoint it as well.
296
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:05,310
Okay.
297
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:07,450
Because I really like to see what you're seeing
298
00:12:07,450 --> 00:12:08,390
with the pinpoint.
299
00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:11,450
Well, where we got the hit was right in this one,
300
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:12,610
but we want you to check everything,
301
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:13,550
but it was right there.
302
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:14,190
Right there?
303
00:12:16,350 --> 00:12:18,290
Found it, and then we're having that.
304
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:19,730
What the heck?
305
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:23,670
Could it be little flecks of silver or little...
306
00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:26,230
It could very well be.
307
00:12:26,390 --> 00:12:26,570
Yeah.
308
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:29,990
I wasn't even getting that when I brought it over.
309
00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:30,410
No.
310
00:12:31,610 --> 00:12:33,370
I wouldn't be able to tell you what it is
311
00:12:33,370 --> 00:12:36,850
just with how small it is.
312
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:41,230
It's not being, you know, fully registered by the detector.
313
00:12:42,210 --> 00:12:44,310
But there's metal in here.
314
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:46,530
This is loose material at the bottom of the solution channel.
315
00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:48,030
We're definitely going to take it back to the lab,
316
00:12:48,090 --> 00:12:49,470
but, I mean, Charles, that's great.
317
00:12:50,410 --> 00:12:52,670
Is it possible that the metal traces
318
00:12:52,670 --> 00:12:56,030
could be related to the evidence of silver and gold
319
00:12:56,030 --> 00:12:57,870
that the team has already recovered
320
00:12:57,870 --> 00:13:00,210
in this area of the solution channel?
321
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:01,710
Oh, look at that.
322
00:13:01,710 --> 00:13:02,830
You're getting it again right there.
323
00:13:04,270 --> 00:13:04,730
Wow.
324
00:13:05,890 --> 00:13:07,230
To find out for sure,
325
00:13:07,630 --> 00:13:10,250
the team will take the core sample back to the lab
326
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:11,650
for a thorough analysis.
327
00:13:12,370 --> 00:13:13,230
I'm excited.
328
00:13:13,470 --> 00:13:13,630
Yeah.
329
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:15,230
Thanks for inviting me over, guys.
330
00:13:15,690 --> 00:13:16,390
Thanks for coming in.
331
00:13:18,630 --> 00:13:24,620
The following day on Lot 8...
332
00:13:24,620 --> 00:13:25,700
Here they come.
333
00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:28,900
Marty prepares to move several large stones
334
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:30,440
away from the massive boulder
335
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,400
to help the archaeological team dig by hand underneath it.
336
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,400
Nice.
337
00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:41,520
You go with the big one first?
338
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,260
Yeah.
339
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:43,360
Okay.
340
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,840
It's not only tricky, I want to make sure
341
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,780
that whatever I do, I don't dislodge them
342
00:13:50,780 --> 00:13:52,220
so they roll down in the hole.
343
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,020
That's good.
344
00:13:57,340 --> 00:14:00,880
And so I got to make sure I keep control of this situation.
345
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:03,840
Oh, look at that.
346
00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:05,240
Ooh, nice.
347
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:08,220
You know, my biggest hope is that we do find
348
00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:10,280
something significant under the boulder,
349
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,400
but I'm hoping at least we find some sort of artifact
350
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,280
to tell us who was there.
351
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Nice job.
352
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:19,420
Done.
353
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,760
What's your plan from here?
354
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,180
Yeah, from here, I think the plan really is
355
00:14:26,180 --> 00:14:28,260
that we're going to kind of remove some of these rocks here
356
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:29,660
because we know there's some voids
357
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,060
between that large rock there.
358
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:33,420
We want to explore those because that'll determine
359
00:14:33,420 --> 00:14:35,460
whether that large rock was placed there
360
00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:37,400
or whether that was already in situ.
361
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,780
But that really helped clear that out.
362
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,080
And now we can clear up more material
363
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,160
from underneath the boulder,
364
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,220
so we've got a way better chance
365
00:14:45,220 --> 00:14:46,840
of getting the camera underneath it again.
366
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,040
I think we need to investigate that a little further.
367
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Good. That's all you need for right now?
368
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,720
Yeah, that was perfect.
369
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,360
This whole thing has been a conundrum.
370
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,060
It's exceptionally odd.
371
00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:57,840
Well, this is Oak Island, you know.
372
00:14:57,900 --> 00:14:59,240
It's the island that keeps on giving.
373
00:14:59,480 --> 00:14:59,840
It's normal.
374
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,560
You guys carry on.
375
00:15:01,780 --> 00:15:02,280
Thank you.
376
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,520
Later that morning...
377
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:08,740
Let's find some treasure, boys.
378
00:15:09,620 --> 00:15:12,900
Gary and Peter join Tom Nolan and Alan Andrews
379
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:16,280
on Tom's property in the northernmost region of the swamp.
380
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,860
They are following a cobblestone pathway north
381
00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:22,980
that is lined with eight-sided wooden survey sticks,
382
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680
which just one year ago led to the discovery
383
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,700
of an empty brick and slate vault
384
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:30,420
several yards to the south.
385
00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:34,340
Last year, we found that mysterious vault
386
00:15:34,340 --> 00:15:39,180
and stone pathway that leads to the north end of the swamp.
387
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,680
But I'm hoping that we can discover another vault
388
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080
this year along the same line.
389
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,020
But this time, I hope it's full of treasure.
390
00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:49,220
Okay.
391
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,020
Coming in.
392
00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:52,860
When you're down there, Gary,
393
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,780
I think that's a brick right there.
394
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,660
I'll check it out.
395
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,720
There, is that a brick or a rock?
396
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:00,920
This?
397
00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:01,940
No, no.
398
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Right there.
399
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:04,100
Oh, there.
400
00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:04,920
Yeah, that's a brick.
401
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:07,980
That's way down there as well, isn't it?
402
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,240
Yeah.
403
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:10,920
And it's a smaller, thinner brick.
404
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,800
What would that be doing way down there?
405
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:13,340
Yeah.
406
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:14,060
Hmm.
407
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,060
Looks old.
408
00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:15,920
It does look old.
409
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,620
But we should put it to one side
410
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:22,400
because we are testing all the bricks.
411
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,500
Shouldn't have been any structures open.
412
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,660
It's part of the swamp.
413
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:29,080
And I see other little flaky pieces in the wall.
414
00:16:29,980 --> 00:16:32,760
So there's probably other pieces of brick in the area.
415
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:35,320
Yeah, well, we'll get more answers at the lab.
416
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,580
Put this aside and keep digging.
417
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,180
Yep.
418
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,760
And hopefully we can find a piece of metal
419
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840
that tells us how old this brick is.
420
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:42,900
That would be great.
421
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,340
We are noticing more rocks and more cobble.
422
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,760
Well, I'm hoping this leads us to another vault.
423
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,160
We're in for a great day.
424
00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:00,660
What are you seeing, Tom?
425
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,300
Tom, what are you seeing?
426
00:17:03,819 --> 00:17:06,859
Well, I thought I was seeing this cobble again.
427
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:07,880
And it is.
428
00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:08,300
Mm-hmm.
429
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:11,000
But there's brick in with it.
430
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,420
Every time we see the cobble, it's like, is it natural?
431
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:15,060
Is it not?
432
00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:16,619
But when you can pull a piece of brick
433
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:22,180
out from inside the cobble, somebody was working the cobble.
434
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,280
There's no other way.
435
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,700
It's just interesting with cobble here, cobble here,
436
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:28,540
cobble right behind us.
437
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,240
I'm pretty sure we're on a perfect line
438
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,080
going over towards the other side where the vault is.
439
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,540
It's really looking that way.
440
00:17:39,420 --> 00:17:42,340
Maybe we'll discover another vault in this area.
441
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:50,340
We're on a perfect line going over towards the other side
442
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:51,280
where the vault is.
443
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,160
While excavating in the northernmost region
444
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,600
of the Oak Island Swamp.
445
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:58,780
It's just interesting with cobble here, cobble here,
446
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,600
cobble right behind us.
447
00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:03,020
Members of the team have just uncovered
448
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:06,340
another possible section of the cobblestone pathway.
449
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:09,000
You want to see if there are any metal detects in it?
450
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:09,460
Yeah.
451
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,460
That'd be a good idea.
452
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,280
Coming over.
453
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:11,960
OK.
454
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:12,900
All right.
455
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,960
See if there's any metals down there.
456
00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:15,420
OK.
457
00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:18,380
The more time we spend in the swamp
458
00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:22,060
and the more mysterious features we uncover,
459
00:18:22,580 --> 00:18:26,760
I'm beginning to think that the swamp is a much bigger part
460
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,180
of the Oak Island treasure story.
461
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,580
Where is all the metal?
462
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,240
No metals.
463
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,460
Whenever we run across a cobble area, no metals.
464
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,980
It's an head scratcher all right, isn't it?
465
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080
I'm just getting a different vantage point.
466
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:49,180
We're right in line with the other cobble.
467
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,620
It's right along the stakes that we're finding.
468
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,720
We found another really tightly packed cobble platform
469
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,100
probably about six feet around, and it's right
470
00:18:59,100 --> 00:18:59,960
on the other side of us.
471
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:00,540
Mm-hmm.
472
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:02,600
You know, we found wood chips in it.
473
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,240
We found cut wood, and now you've got some brick.
474
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:06,640
Yeah.
475
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,780
It's nice to see something you know, man,
476
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,860
put in the cobble because it puts a nail in the coffin
477
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:12,520
that somebody was in here doing this.
478
00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:16,900
So we have four cobble areas that line up.
479
00:19:17,260 --> 00:19:18,760
It looks like a road or a path, I think.
480
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,640
It really does.
481
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,760
I'm excited to see what that ties into
482
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,700
because I'm sure it ties into something
483
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:25,800
on the other side of the swamp.
484
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,220
Is it possible that the team has found
485
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:30,540
a stone road in the center of the swamp
486
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:33,740
that is related to the other stone structures
487
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:36,640
uncovered earlier this year along the western
488
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,320
and southwestern regions of the Brackish Bog?
489
00:19:39,740 --> 00:19:43,560
If so, could it lead the team to a major breakthrough
490
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,900
in the 231-year-old treasure mystery?
491
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,840
The constructions in the swamp are too numerous
492
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,980
for there not to be a relationship between them.
493
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:56,400
The hope is they are treasure-related
494
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,800
and connected to the Money Pit,
495
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,420
perhaps even the Lot 8 feature
496
00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:03,380
because there is an intent there.
497
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:06,420
There is an intelligent design, if you will.
498
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,260
I think it would be really good to have Steve
499
00:20:08,260 --> 00:20:10,900
pin that far extent of the cobble
500
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:12,620
just to see if it lines up.
501
00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:14,840
Yeah, I'll just take a little bit off
502
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,520
till I feel the cobble, and that's all I'll do.
503
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:18,780
Yeah, perfect.
504
00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:21,620
And we'll have to keep the twin optical scanners out
505
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:23,760
because artifacts can tell a story.
506
00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:25,260
Could find anything in here.
507
00:20:26,140 --> 00:20:27,960
Keep digging, see if we can find a little more of it.
508
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,440
While the investigation continues in the swamp...
509
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,280
Watch the set.
510
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:36,080
...Craig and other members of the team
511
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,080
continue their careful excavation
512
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:41,980
beneath and around the massive boulder on Lot 8.
513
00:20:43,020 --> 00:20:45,580
Laird, I wanted you to see this because, look,
514
00:20:45,860 --> 00:20:48,680
I've identified where the actual cut was
515
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,180
into the subsoil itself.
516
00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:51,440
You can see it.
517
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,340
It kind of comes down in a nice slope,
518
00:20:55,340 --> 00:20:59,240
a very, very clean cut that comes at an angle like this.
519
00:21:01,620 --> 00:21:03,200
You guys find anything more over there?
520
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Yeah.
521
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:06,380
I think what we have to look at is,
522
00:21:06,620 --> 00:21:10,100
did they excavate that with this in place,
523
00:21:10,660 --> 00:21:12,760
or did they create, like, a cradle?
524
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,960
Like a cradle trench type of thing, yeah.
525
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,260
Yeah, and as impossible as I think it is,
526
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,700
did they create that cradle and then put that rock on top?
527
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,900
Boy, that would be an awful lot of effort.
528
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,060
I know, I know.
529
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:27,300
I think we can say to a degree
530
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,440
that we know this was worked by man,
531
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:30,640
not worked by machine.
532
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:31,880
Why?
533
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:33,680
Wow.
534
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,980
Deconstructing this is really helping give us the information
535
00:21:36,980 --> 00:21:39,940
that we'll need to finally make an informed decision about it all.
536
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:42,720
So we just need to keep getting after it.
537
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,060
Yeah.
538
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:43,500
Okay?
539
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,360
I got some more buckets to sift through.
540
00:22:05,380 --> 00:22:06,140
Hey, Laird.
541
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:08,160
What do you think of this?
542
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,800
I don't know if that has any meaning to it or not,
543
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:14,880
but it definitely has some material or something.
544
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:15,880
Mm-hmm.
545
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,440
The red part looks like cloth of some sort.
546
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,040
I mean, it all looks shredded, but...
547
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Like a textile.
548
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:22,360
Yeah.
549
00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:22,740
Yeah.
550
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,440
Do you think the whole thing is a textile of some sort?
551
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,840
It sure looks like it.
552
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,000
The red material, is that a dye?
553
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,680
Can we determine the type of dye potentially?
554
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,340
It is a dye.
555
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:37,760
The red is definitely a dye.
556
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:40,040
If it's older, it's a natural dye.
557
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,820
I think we have to get that under the microscope.
558
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:49,040
It's quite possible the XRF may be able to do that.
559
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:49,440
Okay.
560
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:49,920
Yeah.
561
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,480
I see this material, and quickly in my mind,
562
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,660
I see somebody trying to move these boulders,
563
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,900
and it scrapes and takes apart of their shirt or jacket or whatever,
564
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,740
and it's just a little piece left on that larger rock.
565
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,400
If we determine it's old, that's pretty significant.
566
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:08,900
Okay.
567
00:23:08,940 --> 00:23:11,280
We should be able to tell if it's a natural fiber or not.
568
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:11,720
Okay.
569
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:16,240
Given the lack of artifacts, I think it's worth bagging that.
570
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,160
Okay.
571
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,440
We know it was under one of the boulders that Marty had just removed,
572
00:23:22,540 --> 00:23:26,520
so it was probably 18 inches below the normal surface
573
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,080
and below a boulder,
574
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,740
and it may tell us who was here and when they were here,
575
00:23:31,740 --> 00:23:34,060
so I'm excited to see what the results are.
576
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:36,460
Even if a mouse buried this,
577
00:23:36,820 --> 00:23:41,120
the mouse would have gone into this rock structure after it was made.
578
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:41,540
Correct.
579
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:47,180
So this is going to be younger than the rock structure.
580
00:23:47,420 --> 00:23:47,960
Pretty cool.
581
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,580
We know this had to be in place before.
582
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,040
It really did.
583
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,240
And that could help date it.
584
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:54,240
Yep. It'll be exciting.
585
00:23:54,540 --> 00:23:54,840
All right.
586
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,600
Can I bag her?
587
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,160
Yep.
588
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,280
Okay. Well, we'll get her tested.
589
00:23:59,500 --> 00:23:59,860
All right.
590
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,920
As a new morning shines bright on Oak Island.
591
00:24:08,260 --> 00:24:10,660
Okay. I don't know too much about this.
592
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,240
Craig, why don't you give us some background?
593
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:12,980
Yeah.
594
00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:17,320
So, you know, I was sifting through the materials, and I found that.
595
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,560
You moved the boulder. It was underneath that.
596
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:20,900
Really?
597
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:21,320
Yeah.
598
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,200
Members of the team meet in the lab
599
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,940
where Emma is analyzing the piece of fabric
600
00:24:26,940 --> 00:24:29,980
that was uncovered near the large boulder on Lot 8.
601
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,980
It's the only thing that I know of that's been found on the site so far.
602
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,320
Mm-hmm.
603
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,880
So, yeah. What can you tell us about it?
604
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,240
Yeah. So I did do a CT scan on it, XRF, the whole shebang.
605
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,080
But the CT scan actually gave great imaging.
606
00:24:49,420 --> 00:24:52,700
You can kind of see the design of the knitting
607
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:55,940
for the loops to go inward and then outward.
608
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,280
Mm-hmm.
609
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,920
So we're seeing a style of weft knitting.
610
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:02,920
Mm-hmm.
611
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:10,260
So weft knitting is knitting by interlocking strands of loops or rows of loops.
612
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Okay.
613
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,400
Yeah.
614
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,440
And whether or not it's handmade or early machine-made,
615
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,920
first glance from the visuals, I'm not 100% sure.
616
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:22,840
It's kind of hard to narrow down.
617
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Yeah.
618
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:23,880
Yeah.
619
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,280
As for the material used, I would like to do a simple burn test.
620
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,100
Really?
621
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,860
Yeah, to determine what kind of material was made
622
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:39,400
because depending on how it was burnt, how it melts or kind of turns into ash,
623
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,700
we can discern quickly what kind of material it was.
624
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,620
Like, what are we looking for? If it's what, it's what?
625
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:48,100
If it's polyester, well, it burns really quickly,
626
00:25:48,220 --> 00:25:50,280
and then it kind of turns into a liquid form.
627
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:56,320
If it's more cotton or linen, it's more ashy of a burn.
628
00:25:56,940 --> 00:26:03,120
If it's silk, as soon as you move it away from the fire, it snuffs the fire out,
629
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,560
so it doesn't burn.
630
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,580
It just kind of disintegrates.
631
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,060
Wool should kind of clump up into like an ashy or kind of burnt texture,
632
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,500
and then you can crush it.
633
00:26:14,980 --> 00:26:15,320
Okay.
634
00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:18,680
So who would like to be my assistant?
635
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:19,440
Peter.
636
00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:19,860
I will.
637
00:26:21,020 --> 00:26:25,080
Even though burning a fabric is a bit of a destructive method,
638
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:29,880
it's one of those telling methods that can identify or actually cancel out
639
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,500
what kind of material that fabric is,
640
00:26:33,580 --> 00:26:39,440
and that could help determine whether the material is modern or not.
641
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,880
Okay.
642
00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:43,260
You are just going to light a little fire.
643
00:26:43,860 --> 00:26:44,160
Okay.
644
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:51,140
Whoa.
645
00:26:51,140 --> 00:26:52,160
That's it?
646
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:52,740
Yeah.
647
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,220
And then I'm going to let it cool,
648
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:58,920
and then we can crush it.
649
00:27:00,220 --> 00:27:01,560
And that is wool.
650
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:02,740
Really?
651
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Yeah.
652
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,100
Amazing.
653
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:10,540
That's interesting because not far away from where that wool was found,
654
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:12,740
Katja found the bag seal.
655
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,020
Wow.
656
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:14,640
Okay.
657
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,520
Which has a very distinctive sheepskin symbol on it,
658
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,840
and that is associated with the city of Leeds in England.
659
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,040
Leeds is a major manufacturer of wool products,
660
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,340
dating back to the 1300s.
661
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:30,060
And this makes it all the more interesting.
662
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:31,020
Yeah.
663
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,460
Could Laird be correct that this piece of wool fabric may be related
664
00:27:36,460 --> 00:27:39,360
to the potentially 700-year-old bag seal
665
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:42,300
that was found just yards from the massive boulder?
666
00:27:42,940 --> 00:27:47,300
If so, might it be the first key clue that could help identify
667
00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:49,040
who created the feature?
668
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:52,100
What about the red dye?
669
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,920
I know they can date dyes if there's, you know,
670
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,600
enough material for you to look at there.
671
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,100
Yeah, so I was looking at the dye,
672
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,400
and there's no modern, like, 20th century dyes
673
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,980
or chemicals that I'm detecting.
674
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,200
So that's a good sign.
675
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:08,720
The red dye is interesting because it was desirable,
676
00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:10,660
but it was very difficult to make.
677
00:28:10,660 --> 00:28:11,200
Yeah.
678
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,740
An average person would not have red material?
679
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:17,760
Except the British military, because they were the redcoats.
680
00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:19,880
The French military had it.
681
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:22,300
I guess it was relatively more expensive,
682
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,240
but it was still widely, widely used.
683
00:28:26,380 --> 00:28:27,020
Okay. Yeah.
684
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,700
What are the next steps?
685
00:28:29,180 --> 00:28:32,920
I think getting an expert into knitting patterns
686
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,040
and then with dye mechanics and recipes
687
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,640
will point towards something more accurate.
688
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,740
Yeah, well, that makes sense. Yeah.
689
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:43,500
Okay, extremely interesting.
690
00:28:43,980 --> 00:28:46,440
Maybe it's the tip of the iceberg
691
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,940
in terms of what we might find under that boulder.
692
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,380
And actually what we might find under the boulder itself
693
00:28:52,380 --> 00:28:53,700
might shed a little light on that.
694
00:28:54,620 --> 00:28:56,260
We've got to dig deeper,
695
00:28:56,580 --> 00:28:59,640
as carefully as possible, under your guidance.
696
00:29:00,220 --> 00:29:01,040
Yeah, absolutely.
697
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:03,060
Good job, as always.
698
00:29:04,180 --> 00:29:05,300
Enigmatic, as always.
699
00:29:05,420 --> 00:29:07,400
More things to do, as always.
700
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,660
Let's do them.
701
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,800
That was good. Thank you.
702
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,800
As the meeting concludes in the lab,
703
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,500
in the Money Pit area...
704
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:19,120
So J.5, 7.5, this is well underway here.
705
00:29:19,220 --> 00:29:21,720
It's at the southern end of the actual opening,
706
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:22,900
which is the solution channel,
707
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:25,000
and that's where the deeper areas are.
708
00:29:25,220 --> 00:29:25,400
Yeah.
709
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,240
The team is drilling a new borehole,
710
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,320
known as J.5, 7.5.
711
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,880
It is located less than 20 feet southwest
712
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,620
of their previous borehole,
713
00:29:36,620 --> 00:29:39,420
where traces of metal were detected in soils
714
00:29:39,420 --> 00:29:42,360
brought up from nearly 220 feet deep
715
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,680
in the solution channel.
716
00:29:44,460 --> 00:29:47,200
Coming up now, we've hit the actual bedrock plateau
717
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,720
at about 160 below grade.
718
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,820
We're going to punch through that
719
00:29:50,820 --> 00:29:52,780
and go under the ledge that is formed.
720
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:55,760
We should pop out, you know, in another 10 or 15 feet
721
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,000
and into the open solution channel.
722
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Yeah.
