All language subtitles for The Curse of Oak Island S13E15-HDTV-X264-NGP

Tonight on the Curse of Oak Island.

SBC and rock are here.

We want something found today.

Find some treasure boys!

That thing looks unstoppable.

I think this is a key key.

We want to get this one to the left.

It's a very interesting thing to say in
super early time period.

No way.

We're finally moving in a direction that
could give us answers.

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 be
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.

As a dig operation that
has been months in the

making is about to begin
in the money hit area.

You guys, SBC and rock are here personnel
and equipment.

They've been rolling in pretty steady and
they've brought all their toys.

We've got some good locations this year
and we get down to that solution channel.

Hopefully we bring up not only that one
thing, but all of it.

You mean actual treasure?

Treasure, the T-word.

This year, the team has
drilled more than a dozen

new boreholes over 200
feet deep into the solution.

Where the legendary
treasure is believed to have

fallen after the collapse
of the original money pit.

After testing soil samples from the bottom
of the boreholes, so far, two of them,

known as I-9.5 and K-9.5, have yielded
unusually high traces of silver.

Now, the team will begin
excavating a seven-foot diameter

steel shaft in this area to
find the source of the silver.

It is a location, the team previously
excavated in 2019, down to a depth of some

150 feet, which never reached the solution
channel.

And was backfilled with tons of loose
gravel, known as Surg Rock.

Those 500 boreholes we drilled out here,
I'll bet you no more than 5% of them went

to the depth that I now suspect where the
treasure lies.

We're going to have to come back.

partially go over other casons that were
pulled and then filled with Surg Rock to

keep everything from collapsing and
drilled down deeper.

And that's what we plan to do.

It is their hope that the high traces of
silver may be related to a 14th century

silver coin that was reportedly found in
the money pit back in 1849, which is

connected to the Portuguese set of the
nice templar.

Here's the guys.

Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

It's exciting because
we've been exhausted hours

trying to come up with an
area of significant interest.

And we believe we have.

It's always a field to be back on Oak
Island.

It's pretty nice.

Feels great to be back.

I love you here.

Perfect.

I like that attitude.

This mystery has resisted solution for 230
plus years.

I want tensors.

We all do.

Definitely brought some big toys this
year.

We were told we had to go pretty deep.

So that looks really serious.

That's the new LB45.

We brought down the big torque and run big
depths and she will chew through whatever

we need to and help us see what's down
there.

Are you using just an auger to drill for
the rock?

Yep.

We're going to probably maybe break a new
record with this.

Just for how fast these drills coming in
out of the hole for us grabbing.

I know grabbing is efficient as well.

well.

But this is going to be a lot faster
material wise.

I would think it's
especially a depth action

because the trip time on a
hammer grabs a long time.

This is just telescopes in and out of the
hole.

It'll be a lot quicker coming in and out
of the hole.

It's pretty exciting.

Yeah.

It is.

It's very interesting.

That bolt doesn't stand a chance.

In order to reach the solution channel,
the teams from Solatanch Bashi Canada and

rock equipment will
mount a 7 foot diameter

auger bit onto a 135 ton
telescoping drill wreck.

After placing the auger inside massive
steel case odds, it will rapidly drive

down through soil, hard clay and other
debris.

Bringing spoils to the
surface, while a steel

shaft is installed more
than 200 feet deep.

Once the solution channel is reached,
a giant dig bucket will replace the auger

bit to safely remove additional spoils and
the potential treasure.

When we're looking at the location right
there, right?

Yep.

Your orange dot?

Yep.

During our sonic drill
program, the spring, we've been

analyzing our cores and
we've got silver in the soils.

That's very interesting.

And then, of course, there's what we call
a PIPLATO coin.

A Portuguese coin for possibly fun in this
general area.

Wow.

If that's what's down
there, then your choices

you describe them
will find more of them.

And that's the hole.

Yeah.

I try not get too excited about what ifs,
but I can tell you this.

It could be hundreds of millions or even
billions of dollars.

That's exciting.

Alright, I'm happy winning the dig.

Break ground tomorrow.

Yeah.

That's the plan.

I like that.

The only thing I like to earn better is
today.

Tomorrow's acceptable.

Yeah.

Alright.

Thanks, guys.

As the teams from rock and SB Canada
prepare for the dig in the money pit area.

Alright.

Getting stuck back in again.

Rick and Craig joined Gary Darden at Tom
Nolan to continue searching for clues on

Tom's property in the northern region of
the swamp.

We've got a lot of history that's been
uncovered recently.

The mystery vault.

We've got a row of states leading us to
that vault.

And we dig in right on the line.

They are following a
cobblestone path that is

lined with eight-sided
wooden survey sticks.

A path that one year ago led them to a
mysterious but unfortunately empty vault,

some 50 yards to the south.

Now, they are eager to see
if more hidden structures that

contain valuables are
waiting to be found in this area.

That deep enough?

Yup.

That's good over there.

I'll take another one here.

Woohoo!

Rick, I've got a fine deer.

That's leather.

Oh yeah.

I think that's a bootleer issue.

That's not a modern piece of shoe.

It's more than likely it's a sole.

Look at all the little holes.

So you know it's not stitched.

Yeah, it's like the old.

But a little obnail.

That's not a modern piece of shoe.

It's more than likely it's a sole.

Look at all the little holes.

So you know it's not stitched.

Yeah, it's like the old.

But a little obnail.

It's got an old feel about it for sure.

If you start slipping, you lose your shoe.

Next thing you know, you're losing your
coins.

Aside from the bits of
leather fun in the money pit,

the majority of the fines
have been in the swamp.

That leather down there in the southeast
corner was very, very old.

Oh yeah.

You know what?

There might be more in here.

In 2023, while searching for clues near
the possibly Portuguese stone road in the

southeast corner of the swamp,
Rick and Gary found part of a boot,

which was of European origin and could
date back to the 17th century.

Could Rick and Gary have found a related
clue?

And if so, might it help identify just who
built the cobble road?

Yeah, Gary.

Oh, with big, uh, little re-allet,
they're obnails.

That's not stitching.

Yeah, for sure.

That's not a modern piece of shoe.

Hell of a gray, eyeball fine, Rick.

Brothers, where do you say to yourself?

You know what?

There's a real story here.

Yeah.

If these pieces of leather
from shoes or boots, from the

people who did the original
road, would work in this area.

That'd be something.

Yeah.

We have the lab here on the island.

It's really no pun intended to nail down
where that leather came from.

Yeah.

This is how it's going to go leather,
coins and champagne.

There you go.

Yeah.

I think there's a lot of information that
might reside within this shoe leather.

The platforms, the paved area,
the suspected paths, the roads,

all of the constructions in the bar,
there's so much we don't know.

wasn't the reason why it was
constructed, but everything

you find could be the
clue you're looking for.

Probably get a scoop out of there,
Rick.

That's strange.

The excavator bucket just went straight
down.

There's some sort of void here.

As you can see, the excavator bucket went
straight down.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I'm going to
say... five feet into this void.

Don't you want?

Hmm.

In the northern region of
the Oak Island swamp, the

team has made what could
be an important discovery.

It's solid all the way around.

Hmm.

So somebody's dug it.

Yeah.

People were in here.

People weren't here doing something.

Yeah.

A five foot deep man-made hole?

Might have been created by someone connected
to the shoe leather the team found.

nearby.

And the sections of the
cobblestone path that

the team has uncovered
throughout the swamp.

Okay, let's see what's there.

Okay.

Let's find some treasure, boys.

There we go, are you?

But no mistake, you came out of that last
load, wherever that last scoop came from.

there they come, can you pull over?

Yep.

The stakes you've fallen previously,
they're lining up here.

It looks like it may
be on one of the lines

projected from the stakes
we have found this year.

And think of what was right over there,
a reference at many times, right?

The vault.

Because if those stakes point to that,
it may point to another one here.

Those stakes might have something to tell
us yet.

To me, that's the puzzle here.

Yeah.

This stake that comes out of the ground
might be delineating a path from long ago.

Tom has iterated many times.

His father did not use stakes.

Maybe these new finds will tell us who did
it when they did it, why they did it.

But he lived to find another day,
so let's pack it up.

Let's figure out things to the lab.

Let's see what kind of results we can get.

Okay, sounds good.

Off we go.

Later that afternoon.

Well, there should be Corey right there.

What do you think?

It's a nice little rock.

We're proud of it.

On lot eight, Rick has joined Marty and
other members of the team to meet with

Crane operator Corey Robard at the massive
boulder feature.

We're currently at a stage where we're
trying to find where the original cuts

were when they excavated down here,
whatever they did.

We don't know how deep it goes down yet.

The team began investigating this boulder
several weeks ago, which sets above a ring

of evenly spaced stones and covers a
back-filled void.

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

After feeding a snake camera into a narrow
space that the team dug out below the

boulder, they recorded images of possible
tools.

It's goal-looking.

It certainly is.

And even a gold-colored material.

And just one week ago, soil testing on
samples taken from beneath the boulder

contained unnatural levels of land,
which the team believes could be evidence

of a centuries-old mining tunnel.

Now, archaeologist Laird-Nevin has given
the team permission to remove the boulder

in order to find out just what might be
buried underneath it.

So I'm going to say we'll put a chain
around here.

We'll choke this around the bottom.

We'll bring four legs down,
which will be chain, and we'll

put two pins on this side
and two pins on the other side.

Okay, like what do you mean?

One inch bar, steel, drill
a hole in, and then we'll

bring the slings down
and hook into that chain.

And then that'll hold
this rock on this side and

that side, squeeze it
together as it's coming up.

Does that mean we may not
necessarily have to dig any

area that could possibly
compromise what we're looking at?

Yeah.

Okay, you know what?

That's very encouraging.

Yeah.

Corey, I'll be able to crane.

Do you think you'll need...
I'm going to bring 130 ton crane.

These two trees will go.

I'm going to set in here.

They need to clear all around yet,
so that's going to take a while.

Probably the biggest
logistic issue is bringing

in the crane itself,
because it's a big machine.

This week, Billy and his
workers will be working

on the road and the tree
removal that's required.

There's absolutely no
way to understand that

boulder without
listing it out of the way.

I think this is going to go cleanly.

I really, really do.

I think we have the right technology and
the people who know what they're doing.

The rest of us can get back to it.

Yeah.

As a new day, brakes on Oak Island.

Yeah!

All right!

Whoo!

Well, thank you.

What are you all standing around for?

Rick, Marty, Craig, and the rest of the
team gather in the money pit area.

Vanessa, welcome back to Oak Island.

Okay.

Now that the teams from Rock and SB Canada
have finished setting up their equipment,

it's finally time to begin a
dig that will go deeper than

any previous searcher
operation in Oak Island history.

That thing looks unstoppable.

Ready to press it.

You know, when I'm
standing here in the money

pit, I always think of
230-plus years of activity.

230-plus years of search, a commitment,
intellect, passion, belief.

But this year it's about finding treasure.

And there are two people
here who are emblematic

of finding things,
especially the one thing.

So I would ask Gary and
caught you to come up

and get this kicked off,
because you find things.

And we want something found in this money
pit today.

You accept that challenge?

Challenge accepted.

This can't catch it.

No pressure.

Careful climb up the track there.

Where is?

It is.

Wow.

Gary, I'm taking the liberty of naming
this whole.

Okay?

Top pocket fine.

Right?

Yeah.

That's what we want it to be.

Good choice.

TPM.

TPM.

You can get in any kitchen.

All right.

Sure up.

Find some treasure points.

Oh, baby.

Yeah!

Make them all.

There's high hopes and great anticipation.

This has been a long slog.

It has, you know, 12, 13 years in the
making.

You're not going to get them all to that
scene.

You're not.

Wow.

I'm one one.

We are what worked long ago called the
fellowship of the day.

I am incredibly grateful for their
presence, or their contributions for their

passion to solve this incredibly complex
mystery.

I draw inspiration from them.

So let's find the treasure.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Started drilling.

That was crazy gold.

Come on.

Absolutely.

What?

Hold on, Gary.

Awesome.

There we go.

We're going to find some treasure here.

Hey, team.

Thank you for being here.

I love you all.

Don't get back to work.

Okay.

Thanks.

Moving.

That's what happens if it was.

As the excavation of the T.B.F.

shaft continues in the money pit area.

Herman, how are you doing today?

Your center stage, man.

Welcome back.

Marty, Craig, and other members of the
team are meeting in the Oak Island Lab,

with Blacksmithing Expert, Carmen Lang.

I found this with Rick on Lot 8.

Okay.

Six weeks ago, while
searching for clues, several

yards south of the
boulder feature on Lot 8.

Rick and Katya found a possible knife
handle.

And curiously, it was unearthed in the
same area where the pieces of potentially

16th-century chain were also recently
discovered.

It immediately looked to me like a knife
handle.

I'll have a look.

Now, the team is eager to get Carmen's
assessment on this find to confirm just

what it is and when it may have been
created.

Well, this is certainly an interesting
piece.

It's not a knife, no.

It has a lot of features on it.

Yeah.

So what is it?

That's a good question.

I think it was a tool that was easier to
use like this to swing in a certain notch,

or this way to pick it up to swing it
over.

This is a tool made for
a specific part of some

larger tool that had some
sort of mechanism tool.

Oh, yeah.

Lovers, pulleys.

Could that possibly be a part of one of
those systems?

That's what I'm seeing as some type of
ratcheting tool.

It's not far from the lighty boulder.

So, it's interesting.

A tool that could have been part of a
pulley system might be related to the

heavy chain that the team found in this
area.

And if so, could both have been used in
order to lift the massive boulder into

place, or perhaps to lower something in
the ground beneath it.

For what the metallurgy, what's that
telling you?

So the metallurgy is actually really...

It's a nice clean iron.

It is more reminiscent
of like the European

iron that we commonly
see within the 1700s.

Is it possible to be an older?

Yeah, it's possible.

There's been a bunch of different things
on lotty that we've dug up over the years.

It's almost like bits and pieces were
dropped from a couple different timelines.

But something happened on lotty.

Lotty is giant in our minds right now
because of this big boulder on it.

So this tool device is
from the 1700s and is

evidence somebody was
doing something on lotty.

It is kind of a wow thing.

So in summation, we have an enigmatic,
interesting, perhaps one of a kind tool,

more to the saga of all kinds of stuff
happening here.

Pre 1795.

I think for sure.

Someone was there doing some sort of type
of work.

I think there's something under this rock.

I think people actually did something
here.

So could these dates be representative of
those efforts?

It could be.

There's an air of excitement to see what's
underneath that boulder.

Carmen, thank you very much.

A lot of information here.

And everybody else, we can get back to it,
right?

Good.

Thank you.

Later that day, we're getting to the end
of the north end of the bog.

Yeah?

Rick, Tom, and other members of the team
continue the dig in the northern region of

the swamp to track the projected direction
of the cobblestone pathway.

I'll start pulling down some of these
sides.

I can watch everything that's coming out
here.

All right, let's get going.

Sounds good.

Let's park around now.

There's a significant cobbled road.

What story does
that tell in terms of

understanding what the
swamp work might represent?

I think that the work in the swamp,
as we currently understand, might have

something to do with the efforts in the
money pit.

But given the extensive amount of fines in
the bog, there is every hope that

something of significant value might be
buried as well.

So we need to make sure we cover all the
bases here.

Yeah?

We've got some old boards down here.

You might want to have a look at it.

Just came out of the bank.

So we've got some pretty
heavy plank that just came

out of this, after I'll
took that last bucket out.

There's three pieces here.

It's in good shape, but it's old.

You can tell it's old wood.

Yeah, it's thick, yeah.

And there's a nail right there.

It's hard to tell.

It's hard to tell.

It's thick plank, like I think it's over
an inch thick.

Yeah, that would not modern, right?

No.

That's old.

You don't have to fit together to do that.

Didn't really look.

You know what?

I think I didn't see how this might have
gone together.

Definitely that.

Yeah?

That is a wide board.

You want to build a chest out of that.

There's your side, right?

But I don't know if the key is that nail
you fall.

Yeah.

If that square could be really,
really old.

Could Rick be correct that this thick wood
planking may have been part of a structure

in the swamp, and perhaps a chest of some
kind?

If so, might it be related to the empty
brick and slave vault.

They found several yards to the south one
year ago.

Well, could it be related
to another one in this

area that might still
contain something of value?

I think we definitely want to get this one
back to the lab.

Yep.

Let's have a look at that.

100%.

All right.

Let's hope there's more in here.

Yeah.

The board is 12 plus inches in width.

It also is over an inch thick,
which is not modern dimension.

So it could be very old with a nail in one
of them.

It's a perfect candidate to bring to Emma
from a metallurgical perspective.

This might be a little date.

I hope it does have answers for the pod.

We've got something in there.

Something in there?

Here we go.

Right in there, yeah.

We've got it.

Here we go.

Let's see.

Two guy.

That is... This
looks like a nail.

I think this is a key.

I think this is a key.

A key.

I think you're right.

Certainly has a shape for it.

In the Oak Island Swamp, Contea Drayton
has just made a potentially important find.

There's not a nail, a spike or anything
like that.

Let's get the round head there.

Have we just found the key to the swamp?

Maybe you found the key to the swamp.

What are you doing fine?

Don't tell me what you think of that.

Oh.

It run like iron.

Very heavy.

And it has a look about it.

It is key shaped.

And it was deep.

The key.

This part would be the key.

It depends on how much is rust and how
much is the actual artifact.

You know how a key the old
keys had the... at the very end?

It's made like end.

I think this is the...

Like you said, the speed like end of the
key and then right here.

That's where you would unlock it and lock
it.

Definitely unique.

I want to see what the CT scan says about
this.

Yeah, I'd like to see that too.

You want to say it's a key that's as close
as I can come to something.

Well, we need to have a key here.

And we are not far from the vault
structure.

You've got a potential key.

You've got older wood.

You've got a reference to the vault.

And I wish we could find a piece of wood
with a lock.

Yeah.

A possible iron key?

If so, could continue to be correct.

That it may have been connected to the
brick and slate vault.

That the team uncovered some 50 yards away
in 2024.

Or could it be a critical clue that
suggests the cobblestone path maybe

leading them to another one in this area
of the swamp?

The hope is that based on
what has been found before

that they will find more of
the same types of structures.

You know, we talk about the vault in the
swamp.

The probability of another one existing in
the near vicinity is probably rather high.

So there's a lot of interest here.

And there's every hope
and evidence because of

the previous work that
we will find something.

We've got to pay closer attention now,
right?

Find wood, you find a potential key.

Lord knows what else is in here.

The first thing you can't
drop water treasure under is

a box with something inside
with a key opening it up.

But the cautionary tale is that we don't
want to jump to conclusions.

But it's quite interesting.

That's probably the most unique find in
this end of the bog today.

Cool find.

Right.

Well, let's find the lock that goes with
it next.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, yeah.

Let's see what else we can find in here.

As work in the swamp continues.

Later that day.

In the money pit area,
Gary Drayton and Peter

Fernetti are overseeing
the excavation of the T.B.F.

Shop.

We need some spoils.

That doesn't sound very good.

I'm almost to my limit.

Come on.

Down

to that stopped dead at home.

Really digging about a meter and then it's
stopping me and packing me in.

But what are your thoughts, Gary,
on?

Can you question through?

No, we're stuck.

I can't go any further.

I think it might be stopped.

You're right, nothing's happening.

Unfortunately, with it a snack, maybe with
it a boulder or an obstruction in the can.

Yeah.

It looks like it's been pretty stationary
for a while.

What's going on?

Yeah, we're back to the same kind of layer
we got into.

We're just locked up and not advancing.

Right now, we're kind of assessing what's
going on.

We're going to look and do it.

I'll get my uncles and texts and bring
them up to speed.

Yep.

Then we can come over to the plant.

Hello.

Alrighty.

Alright.

Talk to me.

How's it going?

We're kind of stalled right now.

Uh, hell.

In the money pit area,
Marty Craig and Scott arrive

after getting word that
the excavation of T.P.F.

has been halted at a
depth of just 20 feet by

backfilled gravel from a
previous dig operation.

So right now we're into that big cobble
backfill.

We've locked up around the liner.

It's pretty tight.

So that's where we're at right now.

So it's actually locked right now.

You can't turn it.

It's locked up where we stop.

Where we just don't want to get to breaking
anything or over exerting anything.

Every hole, every case on has been
backfilled with a surge rock.

That has created a problem for the SBC
rock team.

My worry, of course, is that if they just
simply can't find the way past this

obstruction that we will have to call the
hole, time is running away from us.

And we want to get down to depth.

Right now we're going to re-jig.

Hopefully get the oscillator up there to
help us lift up a little bit and loosen up.

Okay.

I guess what I'd like to know is mission.

You know, as the mission stalled,
we had high hopes just yesterday.

Is this going to be a fixable issue?

Because we want to dig that.

I'm confident that we can go through
there.

And you're going to have to plug your
machine on the NASA.

And it's sounding like that.

Yeah.

The oscillator is here.

With that, you have a lot more lifting
power, so that's the big difference.

Yeah.

We're just waiting for our reduction in
search.

Reduction in search, yeah.

One possible solution for grinding the
TPF1 case-ons down through the

gravel-filled ground
is to rotate them using

rock equipment's
massive hydraulic oscillator.

However, in order for the oscillator to
hold the eight-and-a-half-foot canisters

in place, he will require specialized
braces, known as reduction inserts.

The ones that look like most parts are
going to arrive.

We have a bit of logistics issues with
some parts, so we'll wait in on those.

So the reduction inserts, the trucker
broke down and it's on a different track.

I think it'll be here tomorrow night late.

All right.

So the two-day, the way, right?

Yes.

Can you put the oscillator on and then
wait for those parts of those parts to be

assembled before you can put the
oscillator on?

No, I can't.

They do have to go in the oscillator.

What if you put your oscillator on and it
still doesn't work?

I'm still confident between the equipment
we have here that we can get this done.

Well, I mean, it's made, I mean,
depending on how long it would take.

One possibility would be to just move over
to the second location.

There's no cobble there.

I don't have the same
concerns going to where we're

not so much into that
big cobble that locks up.

Rather than waiting
at least two days for

the oscillator parts
to arrive on the island.

An immediate alternative strategy would be
for the team to pick a second target

location in this area and begin excavating
a new shaft in the hopes that SB Canada's

presently available
equipment won't encounter

gravel backfill from a
previous excavation.

I was in the drilling business for many
years and you have setbacks.

Things happen particularly on a complex
job like this with all the unknowns.

I know we'll get past it, but the bigger
problem is time.

That is precious.

At this point, we're making zero progress
at the money pit with all this equipment.

So we have to make a decision.

Really, when we're done here, it's a
simple summary, right?

We're looking at it a delay.

For sure.

Yeah.

Can you check in on the status for those
parts?

Yeah.

Well, the island strikes again.

A lot of line.

Okay.

You guys do your thing.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

While the team awaits an update from Rocky
Equipment and SB Canada.

In front of us, we have leather farts and
actually fall on myself.

Rick, Marty, Craig, and other members of
the team gather in the war room to receive

a preliminary scientific report on the
leather shoe pieces found in the swamp.

These are, you felt,
when you looked at them,

they're bits of shoe
or boot leather, right?

Yeah.

It looked to me like an old design.

One piece, it was really elongated.

And I know that's an older style.

If you remember, when we
found these, Rick, they were

in the deeper material,
the black stuff for Pete.

So they were way down there.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Let's see what the science says because we
did run C14 on it.

Craig, Craig, and you have the results.

So let's see what that says.

Yep.

Sure do.

It's very interesting that saying super
early.

The biggest time period, which is 11.48 to
12.16.

Oh, geez.

No way.

There you go, Rick.

You're not going to be amazing.

In the Oak Island War Room, Craig has just
shared an astonishing preliminary

scientific report, which
indicates the pieces of a leather

shoe found in the swamp
could be more than 800 years old.

All the other ones are earlier,
going back to maybe even 10.47.

So I'm very, very early here.

Come on.

I've got medieval shoe dogs now.

What's that top date?

Who was that bracket?

11.48 to 12.16.

Holy smokes.

I mean, for what it's worth, that's the
Gispani era.

And it really is absolutely just.

They align perfectly with what Professor
Gispani has articulated to us that the

construction of Nolan's Cross happened in
the 13th century.

I don't know about that.

The Coca-Cola is only egg.

Now, no, that's gross.

It didn't mean it would change.

But in 2023, Italian-occupied astronomy
professor Adriana Gispani presented

peer-reviewed research about the
megalithic project.

The formation of boulders known as Nolan's
Cross.

According to the boulder's historical
alignments with certain stars in the night

sky, Professor Gispani calculated that the
formation was likely created in the early

13th century by members of the night's
Templar.

You remember one of the first things we
ever found in the swamp was the paved area.

I mean, that date is almost perfect,
1200s.

And so we've starting to accumulate dates
in the swamp.

You can't ignore the growing data points
that are in the 13th century.

We're definitely looking
at a time period in

which the Templars are
headed to their power.

Based on this preliminary carbon-14
report, could the team have found a clue

that may help identify just who created
Nolan's Cross as well as the vast paved

area in the swamp, which
was uncovered in 2019 and

also scientifically dated
to approximately 1200 A.D.

There seems to be a growing body of
evidence that the large work effort was

initiated roughly at the beginning of the
13th century.

Now we have artifacts that reference that
timeline as well.

And that might have been
the point of beginning of some

large-scale long-term effort to
do something here on Oak Island.

Once we've found this early date,
we've notified Bay Dan electrical.

They're going to run extra cleaning
methods.

And once that process is done,
then they'll go ahead and retest it again.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's an incredible
date, so I think we

would want to confirm
that by any way we can.

We have to, as your father said,
duplicate the result as Craig has said,

let's make sure that the data is correct.

But right now, as I sit here, I couldn't
be happier about those dates.

Yeah, based on what we're
seeing here, we're finally

moving in a direction
that could give us answers.

So, it sure seems like we're in the right
track.

I never argue with a reason to dig.

Ever.

What's dig?

We have the machinery,
we have the time, and

a treasure is never
going to find itself.

So, what's dig?

We've got the guy who can go through the
soils.

We've got everything we need.

Let's dig.

Let's use your theories and dig.

Let's use the state and dig more in the
swamp.

Really, we're all in.

Sounds like we're doing the right thing.

And I hope we get good news in the money
pit.

Yep.

And get back on track.

On that, let's go.

Let's go.

Okay.

Just like the devoted searchers who came
before them, Rick, Marty, Craig,

and the team must deal with another
frustrating setback in the money pit area.

However, as the endeavor knew,
surprising clues across the island,

and explore for answers, no matter what
obstructions stand in their way,

the fellowship of the dig will never be
deterred by any challenge they face.

Because what they may soon
find, whether deep below, or much

closer to the surface, could
forever change the history.

Of North America.

Next time on the Curse of Oak Island.

Let's say we're getting started.

Oh yeah, we're spinning off.

We're due for a little bit term.

We are.

We said to find that one thing.

Here we go, signal.

Hey, I should have been able to pinpoint
it.

Oh, look at that.

See if you recognize this before.

Oh, that might have been an individual of
Masonic ties.

Yes.

Well, that is extraordinarily cool.

All right, here we go.

It's time to lift that rock.

All right, look at that.

Well, over to that.
