1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,400
(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) Tonight, on the Curse of Oak Island.
2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,820
Looks like we're getting started.
3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:05,960
Oh, yeah, we're spinning off.
4
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:07,700
We're due for a little bit of karma.
5
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:08,260
We are.
6
00:00:08,540 --> 00:00:09,820
We just have to find that one thing.
7
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:11,340
Here we go, a signal.
8
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:11,760
Hey.
9
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,360
I should be able to pinpoint it.
10
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,740
Oh, look at that.
11
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:16,440
See if you recognize this.
12
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,080
Wow.
13
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,240
That might have been an individual with Masonic tithes.
14
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:19,600
Yes.
15
00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:22,100
Well, that is extraordinarily cool.
16
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,220
All right, here we go.
17
00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:24,400
It's time to lift that rock.
18
00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:25,240
All right, moving.
19
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,160
Let's go.
20
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,280
Wow, look at that.
21
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:27,740
Yeah.
22
00:00:27,740 --> 00:00:27,840
Wow.
23
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,180
There is an island in the North Atlantic
24
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:38,060
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
25
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:40,500
for more than 200 years.
26
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,540
So far, they have found a stone slab
27
00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:47,100
with strange symbols carved into it,
28
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,720
man-made workings that date to medieval times,
29
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:54,840
and a lead cross whose origin may be connected
30
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,280
to the Knights Templar.
31
00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:01,240
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
32
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,160
And according to legend, one more will have to die
33
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,140
before the treasure can be found.
34
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,500
See, this isn't such good news, Rick.
35
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,460
I mean, it's not a happy thing.
36
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:28,320
We just got going on TPF1.
37
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,360
A lot of pomp and circumstance.
38
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:31,640
The team all energized.
39
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:32,200
Yeah, yeah.
40
00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:36,900
And we are at about 25 feet, and we're stuck.
41
00:01:37,540 --> 00:01:42,000
Before a new day of exploration can begin on Oak Island,
42
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,360
brothers Rick and Marty Lagina,
43
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:47,480
their partner Craig Tester, and Scott Barlow
44
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,200
meet to discuss a shocking setback that has occurred
45
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,660
in the Money Pit area.
46
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,940
If you notice, this is our current canister,
47
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,160
and it is digging into fill rock,
48
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,140
and we got stuck at 25 feet.
49
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:01,460
Yeah.
50
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,980
They can't pull it up, they can't push down.
51
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,380
The auger, of course, can go in and out,
52
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,080
but the cans itself won't move.
53
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,500
Yep.
54
00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:12,300
All right, let's start it up.
55
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,480
Let's find some treasure, boys!
56
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Just one day ago, the teams from Solitanch Bashi, Canada,
57
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,520
and Rock Equipment began a new excavation method
58
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,020
using a 7-foot diameter auger
59
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:30,660
in the hopes of rapidly installing a steel shaft
60
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:32,880
known as Top Pocket 5.
61
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:37,800
It was at that location where soil samples collected
62
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,100
from more than 200 feet deep in the solution channel
63
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:43,720
during the team's core drilling operation
64
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,660
revealed high traces of silver.
65
00:02:47,540 --> 00:02:51,600
But after encountering gravel some 25 feet deep
66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560
that was used to backfill one of the team's previous
67
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,000
and much more shallow excavations,
68
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,980
the drilling rig was unable to advance
69
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:02,540
the steel caissons deeper into the ground.
70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,740
And while Rock Equipment's massive rotating oscillator
71
00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:08,940
could be used to continue the dig,
72
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:11,420
parts needed to operate it
73
00:03:11,420 --> 00:03:14,160
won't arrive on the island for two more days.
74
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:18,060
So we have to decide what to do.
75
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,100
Well, to save days, we'd just move over here
76
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:26,820
and go ahead and drill one that had very little backfill.
77
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:27,840
Yes.
78
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:29,720
To me, it's a really good area
79
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,220
because the 1850s drill casing that we brought up,
80
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:34,380
8.5, 8.5, it was right there.
81
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,120
Well, we theorized that Coral Barrel
82
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,560
could have brought up that coin.
83
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:40,460
That's right, it was from the correct time period
84
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:41,780
when they knew where the money pit was.
85
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:42,100
Yeah.
86
00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:44,640
I just think that's a really good location.
87
00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:50,860
Earlier this year, while drilling borehole 8.5, 8.5
88
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:54,020
to explore the solution channel for signs of treasure,
89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,000
at 178 feet deep,
90
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,680
the team recovered a piece of old drill pipe
91
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,700
that may be connected to a drilling operation
92
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:05,580
by the Truro Company in 1849.
93
00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:10,140
That is when a 14th century Portuguese silver coin
94
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:11,820
linked to the Knights Templar
95
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:15,680
was reportedly recovered from the original money pit
96
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,240
by drilling foreman James Pitbladow.
97
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,320
The new hole location is one of the holes that we picked,
98
00:04:23,540 --> 00:04:27,380
and it's an area that still has very elevated amounts of silver
99
00:04:27,380 --> 00:04:28,660
and some other metals in it.
100
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,640
We know we're definitely gonna go back to Top Pocket find,
101
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,860
but we need to make some holes
102
00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:38,200
and get down to the bottom of the solution channel out here,
103
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,640
and we don't want to wait our own,
104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,240
so we're gonna dig this one.
105
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:44,880
You know what, it's karma, you know?
106
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,880
It's really over here.
107
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:46,740
Yeah.
108
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,040
Well, not only that, but maybe we only need one hole.
109
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,780
Maybe karma's saying, you know what, it's not here, it's here.
110
00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:55,780
Maybe that's a name for a new case home.
111
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,460
Karma.
112
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,060
Karma 1.
113
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:57,900
Karma 1.
114
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,860
Nice joint effort, guys, excellent.
115
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:00,480
Teamwork.
116
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:00,840
Teamwork.
117
00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:01,940
Makes the dream work.
118
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:07,980
In a worst-case scenario or a very negative situation,
119
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:09,620
we've got to look at the upside.
120
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,140
Maybe it's good karma.
121
00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:14,120
Maybe we are forced to move to this location.
122
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:18,460
This area still has precious metals in the water
123
00:05:18,460 --> 00:05:20,360
and might contain some secrets.
124
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,380
Okay, well, I guess it's time to go up there and make it so.
125
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,260
Okay.
126
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:26,660
Karma 1.
127
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Let's go.
128
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,180
Later that morning,
129
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:35,640
as the teams from SB Canada and Rock Equipment
130
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,500
reposition equipment to the new digging location
131
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:39,900
known as Karma 1.
132
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:43,000
Is he working his way back this way?
133
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:43,480
Yeah.
134
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Okay.
135
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:46,440
The cobble is so tricky.
136
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:48,100
Where we are now, I mean,
137
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,860
we're sort of on the perimeter of it here.
138
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,980
Craig joins Tom Nolan and other members of the team
139
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:58,000
on Tom's property in the northern region of the swamp
140
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,620
as they continue to investigate a cobblestone pathway.
141
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:05,240
I know Steve's been surveying,
142
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,420
marking all the stakes as they've come up,
143
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,540
so it'll be interesting to see what Steve has on his map.
144
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,140
Yeah, everything we found, be it a stake or the cobble,
145
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,860
he's pinned it.
146
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:16,300
And you want to just continue working your way around here?
147
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,160
We're just going to do a continuous loop
148
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,500
right over to where we left off on the other side.
149
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:22,020
Okay.
150
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:24,160
Okay, sounds good.
151
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:27,440
After uncovering numerous sections
152
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,760
of the cobblestone path throughout the swamp
153
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,460
that have been lined with eight-sided wooden survey stakes,
154
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,160
the team is hoping to find clues that may help determine
155
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,220
if it is related to other mysterious structures
156
00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:41,060
in the swamp,
157
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,920
such as an empty brick and slate vault,
158
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,440
the potentially 16th-century stone road
159
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,640
in the southeast corner,
160
00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:50,880
which may be of Portuguese origin,
161
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,560
and the massive paved area near the center
162
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,100
that could be as much as 800 years old.
163
00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:03,320
We have a multiple number of carbon dates from the bog
164
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,540
that lend credence to the belief
165
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:07,380
that people were here doing something
166
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:11,340
in the 1200s and the 1600s,
167
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,500
possibly Knights Templar, the Knights of Malta.
168
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,460
But are they the ones? Are they the who?
169
00:07:17,820 --> 00:07:18,680
We don't know that yet.
170
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Maybe there'll be some answers as the work proceeds.
171
00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:33,700
Is that a stake?
172
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,800
It looks like a stake, Al.
173
00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:38,220
Where were you digging, Al?
174
00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:40,080
Just right behind me.
175
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,540
Close to the road?
176
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,800
No, I think I got that closer to my track here.
177
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Okay.
178
00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:46,760
Yeah.
179
00:07:47,380 --> 00:07:50,920
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
180
00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:52,980
Yeah, definitely one of those stakes,
181
00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:54,460
8-sided as well.
182
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,260
Is it really?
183
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,840
No kidding.
184
00:07:56,740 --> 00:07:57,800
I'll pass it down here.
185
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,220
Here it goes.
186
00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:02,580
No mistaking that.
187
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,600
That looks like an old...
188
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,420
No, that's the same stake we've been finding
189
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:07,980
over and over again in the bog.
190
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Seems to be right along the edge of the swamp.
191
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,340
And normally when we find these old stakes,
192
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,340
we find cobbles in the area.
193
00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:17,000
Yeah.
194
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,200
They're connected.
195
00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:20,380
Should we survey that in?
196
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:21,140
Yeah, I would say so.
197
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:21,720
I think we should.
198
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,260
Yeah, let's do that then.
199
00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:26,640
I'll text Steve and let him know that we need that surveyed
200
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,980
so that we can continue.
201
00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:28,860
Okay, guys.
202
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Due to the potential historic importance
203
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,500
of the 8-sided survey stakes,
204
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,159
the team has Steve Gomptil record their precise locations
205
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:43,179
to help determine if they bear any correlation
206
00:08:43,179 --> 00:08:45,280
with other features on the island
207
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760
in addition to the cobbled path.
208
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,560
We're getting close to having uncovered
209
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,080
most, if not all, of the north side of the swamp.
210
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:55,440
And one of the major finds that sticks out
211
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,940
is this row of stakes.
212
00:08:57,380 --> 00:08:58,020
Here we go.
213
00:08:58,140 --> 00:08:58,620
All right, in fact.
214
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,100
To me, it's the alignment more than anything.
215
00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:06,020
You know, it's the combination of all these individual stakes
216
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,280
that's going to point the direction
217
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,580
that we need to take the treasure hunt.
218
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,180
We got a signal.
219
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,800
We got a signal.
220
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,560
Non-ferrous signal in that last load.
221
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:26,100
I should be able to pinpoint it.
222
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:27,040
Let's see what it is.
223
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,700
Let's see if it's trash or if it's treasure.
224
00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:33,460
There it is.
225
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:38,800
Got it in my hand.
226
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Oh, what have we got here?
227
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:45,180
Wow.
228
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:50,840
Ooh, I think it's lead.
229
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,360
And I see things on there.
230
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,980
Do you see some kind of design?
231
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,800
It does look like it has markings.
232
00:09:57,580 --> 00:10:00,660
Almost like a crest or a coat of arms on there.
233
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:01,120
Mm-hmm.
234
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:05,540
Maybe some kind of coin or token.
235
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:08,500
In the northern region of the swamp.
236
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:11,960
Guys, check this out, what we've just found up here.
237
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,200
I wonder what he's come up with.
238
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:14,940
I don't know.
239
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,260
Gary has just discovered a curious
240
00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:20,860
and potentially valuable artifact.
241
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,180
Check this out.
242
00:10:24,380 --> 00:10:24,800
Ooh.
243
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:28,800
Alex and I believe we see a design on the front of it.
244
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Sure does look like some kind of coin or token.
245
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,000
There is a pattern on that.
246
00:10:35,620 --> 00:10:38,460
Yeah, I see a couple lines that are shiny.
247
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,920
Little specks making their way through this patina, if you will.
248
00:10:42,580 --> 00:10:43,740
What is it made of, Gary?
249
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,680
It was a low to mid-tone.
250
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,800
First I'm thinking lead,
251
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,440
but I believe it's some kind of copper alloy.
252
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,280
Look, might be a mix.
253
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:55,660
We have found some strange metals on the island.
254
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:59,020
Might be even pooter.
255
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,060
Yeah, it's not very heavy, no.
256
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,440
That's a head scratcher, isn't it?
257
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:03,940
Yeah, it is.
258
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:07,060
Just the edges of it remind you
259
00:11:07,060 --> 00:11:09,820
of an old silver piece of Spanish coin.
260
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Yeah, the front of it's busy.
261
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:15,280
The back is rounded, but it's soft.
262
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,380
So what we're seeing is just material stuck to it.
263
00:11:18,780 --> 00:11:20,180
That's a great sign, then.
264
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:23,780
So there's a chance this could be like an old Maravidi
265
00:11:23,780 --> 00:11:26,060
or some other coin.
266
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:28,100
That's what I would, yeah, be my guess.
267
00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:33,420
I like the look of what we have uncovered.
268
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,400
We don't know what it is, but I know where it came from.
269
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:43,060
Ooh, this was bang on the deck of the excavation in the swamp.
270
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,780
This has been there a very long time.
271
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:46,980
It's encrusted.
272
00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:50,460
I don't know if it's a kind of seal.
273
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,660
Could be a button.
274
00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:53,560
But I'm hoping it's a coin.
275
00:11:54,060 --> 00:11:55,520
I think we should get this back to the lab.
276
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:55,780
Yeah.
277
00:11:55,940 --> 00:11:56,900
Get it back right away.
278
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Oh, I'm looking forward to see what this looks like.
279
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,920
As a new morning breaks on Okehamas.
280
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,260
Looks like we're getting started, Peter.
281
00:12:10,420 --> 00:12:11,440
Yeah, we're spinning out.
282
00:12:12,380 --> 00:12:14,060
We're due for a little good karma.
283
00:12:14,420 --> 00:12:14,920
We are.
284
00:12:15,220 --> 00:12:15,360
Yeah.
285
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Peter Frenetti and Charles Barkhouse
286
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,960
oversee operations in the Money Pit area
287
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,760
as the Karma I caisson is about to break ground.
288
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:27,180
We have so many pieces of equipment here.
289
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,100
We have two different crane systems.
290
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:31,340
We have a front-end loader to move material.
291
00:12:31,820 --> 00:12:34,280
But what I really like is the fact that this year
292
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,060
we have an auger, which as it's spinning,
293
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,660
you can see the material come out.
294
00:12:38,660 --> 00:12:41,080
It's really, really cool to see that in action.
295
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,700
In order to get down to the solution channel,
296
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,420
SB Canada and ROC Equipment are using the massive auger bed
297
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:53,280
to rapidly drive through soil, hard clay, or debris
298
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,820
and bring the spoils to the surface.
299
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,220
Once the Karma I shaft penetrates the solution channel
300
00:13:00,220 --> 00:13:03,620
below a depth of approximately 160 feet,
301
00:13:04,140 --> 00:13:07,180
the auger will be replaced by a giant dig bucket
302
00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:10,280
that will safely collect any remaining spoils
303
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,780
and possible treasure.
304
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:17,360
We're moving over to the hopefully named Karma location.
305
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,360
It's not in a back-filled area,
306
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:22,000
so we don't have to worry about this rock
307
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,320
that caused the first one to seize up.
308
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,560
If it lives up to its name and the karma is good karma,
309
00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:29,000
I hope it's one and done.
310
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:31,280
I hope we find something in the solution channel.
311
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,200
Anywhere between 170 and 220, I'm really excited about.
312
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,340
I know that we have 250 feet of casing,
313
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:42,180
so if there's a deep target, we're going to get it.
314
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,560
We certainly are.
315
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:47,100
We've got all the tools here to really go deep
316
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,360
and hopefully find that one thing.
317
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:51,580
That you can put in my uncle's hand.
318
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,140
Well, you came here as a skeptic, right?
319
00:13:55,580 --> 00:13:57,580
You're starting to move over to our side.
320
00:13:57,820 --> 00:13:59,960
You're coming from the dark side over to the light side.
321
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,900
Based on what we're finding,
322
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:04,320
there's more evidence that work was done down here.
323
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,720
Yeah.
324
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,180
We just have to find that one thing,
325
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:07,060
and it might be this hole.
326
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,980
I'm looking forward to seeing something come up out of there
327
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:12,500
and finally put this story to bed.
328
00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:12,960
Yeah.
329
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Let's do it.
330
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:14,720
Right here.
331
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:15,060
Karma.
332
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:20,600
As the Karma 1 shaft descends toward the solution channel...
333
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,440
All right, guys.
334
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,580
Today is a big day.
335
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:23,380
Big day.
336
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,000
Big boulder.
337
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:28,240
Rick, Marty, and Craig are on their way to Lot 8
338
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,420
on the western side of the island.
339
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,400
I have a question for each of you.
340
00:14:34,070 --> 00:14:34,920
What's under it?
341
00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:37,380
I'm thinking maybe a tunnel.
342
00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:39,880
That would be absolutely fabulous.
343
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,160
Exciting as hell.
344
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,760
Well, let's go find out then, shall we?
345
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,080
It's time.
346
00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:49,540
After weeks of patiently waiting,
347
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:52,520
they are about to remove a massive obstacle
348
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,540
between them and possible answers to the Oak Island mystery,
349
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,460
a 40,000-pound boulder.
350
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:02,580
While this feature has never been documented
351
00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:04,040
by previous searchers,
352
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,540
over the past two months,
353
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:09,420
the team has been methodically excavating
354
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:11,740
around and beneath the boulder by hand
355
00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:15,140
and discovered a series of evenly spaced stones
356
00:15:15,140 --> 00:15:16,400
holding it in place,
357
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:19,680
as well as a backfill void beneath it.
358
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:21,880
I'll show you. There's a really good spot.
359
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:22,920
All right.
360
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:26,140
After inserting a camera into the narrow space
361
00:15:26,140 --> 00:15:28,460
that was cleared under the boulder,
362
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:32,120
video evidence was recorded of a possible tool.
363
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,720
It's gold-looking.
364
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,380
It certainly is.
365
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,960
And even a gold-colored substance.
366
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:41,960
And soil samples recently collected beneath it
367
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,960
contained unnaturally high traces of lead.
368
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,280
We're seeing as high as 140 parts per million lead
369
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,620
in that organic matter underneath the boulder.
370
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:55,600
This has made Dr. Ian Spooner and the team speculate
371
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,940
that there may be an old mine shaft underground
372
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:00,920
that the boulder is concealing.
373
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Morning, team.
374
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,180
Morning.
375
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:06,500
Are we excited?
376
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:08,000
All right. Absolutely.
377
00:16:08,340 --> 00:16:09,520
We are emboldened.
378
00:16:09,980 --> 00:16:11,820
You've been working on that one, haven't you?
379
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,040
I have.
380
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,480
What time is it, Marty?
381
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,280
It's time to lift that rock, Gary.
382
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Oh, I can't wait to get stuck in.
383
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:21,280
Now, archaeologist Laird Niven
384
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,460
has given the team permission to lift the boulder
385
00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:27,380
using a 130-ton crane.
386
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Here it comes, folks.
387
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,800
Right there.
388
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,720
We're about to get this show on the road.
389
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,980
It's very exciting.
390
00:16:35,420 --> 00:16:37,340
I've been wanting to move the Lot 8 boulder
391
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:38,780
as soon as I heard about it.
392
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,180
Every scientist who has looked at it
393
00:16:42,180 --> 00:16:45,420
says that this giant boulder was moved into position.
394
00:16:46,220 --> 00:16:49,620
Well, people don't do that even today for no reason.
395
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,860
Back in the day, it would have been a massive undertaking,
396
00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:56,300
so it's very exciting as to why this thing was placed there
397
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:57,940
and what on earth is underneath it.
398
00:16:58,540 --> 00:17:00,500
All of a sudden, the chains don't look big enough.
399
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,200
No, they don't.
400
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:04,000
It's exciting.
401
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:07,339
You can tell there's a little bit of a buzz in the air
402
00:17:07,339 --> 00:17:09,880
that people are hopeful that once the rock
403
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,319
comes up out of the ground that there'll be an aha moment
404
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,819
and you'll see something, i.e., answers to the Oak Island mystery.
405
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:19,980
Here in real time, we're going to get an answer.
406
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:22,500
Is there something underneath it or not?
407
00:17:25,220 --> 00:17:26,079
All right.
408
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:27,960
We're going to have a liftoff.
409
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,260
Everybody back up.
410
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,080
Here it goes.
411
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:37,560
Here we go.
412
00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:41,240
This is off the chain.
413
00:17:46,980 --> 00:17:47,980
Look at that.
414
00:18:00,310 --> 00:18:01,330
Look at that.
415
00:18:01,410 --> 00:18:01,990
Nicely done.
416
00:18:01,990 --> 00:18:02,870
Piece of cake.
417
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:04,770
It's a big piece of cake.
418
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:09,370
Look how deep it was in that bottom.
419
00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:15,110
On lot eight, a crane has just lifted the 40,000-pound boulder.
420
00:18:15,670 --> 00:18:15,990
Good.
421
00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:17,210
Let's go take a look.
422
00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:17,450
Let's look.
423
00:18:18,450 --> 00:18:22,530
A boulder that the team suspects may have been moved into place
424
00:18:22,530 --> 00:18:25,970
long ago in order to hide something beneath it.
425
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:29,310
What the heck is going on under there?
426
00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:31,310
Laird, you're up.
427
00:18:32,090 --> 00:18:34,430
Initial observation is there's no sterile subsoil.
428
00:18:35,090 --> 00:18:38,630
We're seeing organics that were introduced somehow
429
00:18:39,930 --> 00:18:43,450
and not naturally because a dark soil is not supposed to be under it.
430
00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:44,850
Yeah, it looks like a filled hole.
431
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:46,270
Exactly.
432
00:18:46,810 --> 00:18:48,810
And we don't see any structures yet.
433
00:18:49,450 --> 00:18:50,810
That doesn't mean there's nothing down there.
434
00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:53,470
There could be something much deeper under there.
435
00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:53,930
Absolutely.
436
00:18:54,190 --> 00:18:54,370
OK.
437
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:58,590
The boulder's lifted out, and it should be sitting in glacial soils
438
00:18:58,590 --> 00:19:02,630
from 10,000 years ago when it was originally deposited naturally.
439
00:19:02,890 --> 00:19:06,270
But all of those soils have been removed from under it.
440
00:19:06,450 --> 00:19:11,230
It confirmed 100% that that boulder was not in its original position.
441
00:19:11,690 --> 00:19:12,750
What time is it, Matty?
442
00:19:12,810 --> 00:19:14,710
It's time to metal detect, Gary.
443
00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:16,250
Right.
444
00:19:16,350 --> 00:19:17,250
I'm going to get stuck in.
445
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:23,450
It's confounding to think about who got that out, how they got it out.
446
00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:24,650
Here we go.
447
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:26,290
I'll do this side first.
448
00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:33,230
And I think it reinforces the theory that this was a coordinated effort
449
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:38,150
by a well-organized, large group of people for whatever reason.
450
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:39,510
Nothing.
451
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:40,350
No.
452
00:19:41,210 --> 00:19:43,870
Just not getting any metal hits on the outside.
453
00:19:44,490 --> 00:19:46,110
It doesn't really surprise me either, though,
454
00:19:46,110 --> 00:19:48,090
because if somebody did this and was wanting to hide it,
455
00:19:48,130 --> 00:19:51,050
you're really going to be careful about not dropping artifacts in there too.
456
00:19:51,730 --> 00:19:55,710
Plus, we've excavated even some 1800 shafts in the Money Pit,
457
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:56,750
and there's no metal.
458
00:19:56,890 --> 00:19:58,930
I mean, it's just wood all the way.
459
00:19:59,210 --> 00:20:03,830
So no metal hits doesn't mean that there isn't something down there much deeper.
460
00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:08,230
The conjecture is the Lot 8 boulder was placed for some reason.
461
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:11,310
Dr. Spooner is certain the metals in the soil
462
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:14,070
doesn't fit the soil composition as it should be.
463
00:20:14,370 --> 00:20:16,370
I think you can definitively say it was worth moving
464
00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:18,190
because there's all topsoil there.
465
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:19,250
It doesn't make any sense.
466
00:20:19,610 --> 00:20:21,530
I absolutely think there's a possibility
467
00:20:21,530 --> 00:20:24,070
that this boulder covered something buried deeper
468
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:27,130
in terms of potential structures or finds
469
00:20:27,130 --> 00:20:29,650
that could help us solve the overall mystery
470
00:20:29,650 --> 00:20:33,710
because it was done a very long time ago for an important reason,
471
00:20:34,030 --> 00:20:35,710
and we haven't figured that out yet.
472
00:20:36,250 --> 00:20:38,010
I think the mystery continues.
473
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:41,130
It's possible we could have closed the door on it just now.
474
00:20:41,230 --> 00:20:42,530
We could have picked this up and said,
475
00:20:42,990 --> 00:20:45,130
looks like it was in place naturally, but we didn't.
476
00:20:45,790 --> 00:20:48,370
When it was being lifted, I did not see any signs
477
00:20:48,370 --> 00:20:52,370
of any sort of mechanical equipment touching the underside.
478
00:20:52,370 --> 00:20:53,950
So it's still a bit of a mystery
479
00:20:53,950 --> 00:20:56,170
how they ever would have moved this in the first place.
480
00:20:56,410 --> 00:20:57,990
Okay, well, let's go to the next step,
481
00:20:58,150 --> 00:20:59,990
which is sampling, correct?
482
00:21:00,090 --> 00:21:01,770
And you guys got to do your thing real carefully.
483
00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:04,950
We're going to clean up all the loose soils around the edge,
484
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:06,650
clean up the loose soils in the middle,
485
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:09,150
and see how far down it goes.
486
00:21:09,610 --> 00:21:11,850
It could be much deeper than what we're seeing on the surface.
487
00:21:12,130 --> 00:21:14,350
I'm still very hopeful there's something under here.
488
00:21:14,590 --> 00:21:14,990
Absolutely.
489
00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:17,450
This could absolutely be the highlight
490
00:21:17,450 --> 00:21:19,230
of this year's entire efforts.
491
00:21:19,410 --> 00:21:20,770
There's no question about that.
492
00:21:20,770 --> 00:21:23,370
So we've just got to let the work proceed.
493
00:21:23,530 --> 00:21:25,130
You guys do your thing, and we'll come back.
494
00:21:25,210 --> 00:21:26,050
We'll keep your poster, too.
495
00:21:26,050 --> 00:21:26,470
Yeah, okay.
496
00:21:26,650 --> 00:21:27,990
If we find treasure, we'll let you know.
497
00:21:28,110 --> 00:21:28,970
Let's let them get to work.
498
00:21:29,630 --> 00:21:30,010
Okay.
499
00:21:30,490 --> 00:21:30,870
Thanks.
500
00:21:31,230 --> 00:21:31,350
Yep.
501
00:21:31,770 --> 00:21:35,850
As the investigation on Lot 8 continues...
502
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:39,730
later that afternoon...
503
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:42,590
So now you three found this artifact
504
00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:44,410
in the north part of the swamp.
505
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:47,310
When we first found this artifact,
506
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:50,410
it had a big dome of dirt over the top.
507
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:50,730
Yeah.
508
00:21:51,030 --> 00:21:52,150
We knew we could see markings,
509
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:53,750
but we didn't know what to make of it.
510
00:21:54,190 --> 00:21:54,330
Yeah.
511
00:21:54,830 --> 00:21:57,550
Marty, Craig, and other members of the team
512
00:21:57,550 --> 00:22:00,230
join Laird and Emma in the lab
513
00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:03,910
regarding the artifact that was found one day ago
514
00:22:03,910 --> 00:22:05,690
near the Cobblestone Pathway.
515
00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:06,930
We were open.
516
00:22:07,090 --> 00:22:08,850
It was a coin, a token.
517
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:10,630
So what is it, Laird, Emma?
518
00:22:11,230 --> 00:22:14,330
Well, I learned a new word today, exonumia.
519
00:22:14,790 --> 00:22:15,130
Ooh.
520
00:22:15,130 --> 00:22:20,650
Which is non-government-issued metals and tokens.
521
00:22:20,950 --> 00:22:23,310
So it's not a coin, it's a special item.
522
00:22:23,530 --> 00:22:25,290
Yeah, so this is one of the first
523
00:22:26,030 --> 00:22:28,730
commemorative pieces made in the United States.
524
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:29,330
Really?
525
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:29,870
Mm-hmm.
526
00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:32,370
So now see if you recognize this person.
527
00:22:35,410 --> 00:22:36,390
George Washington.
528
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:37,230
Oh.
529
00:22:37,490 --> 00:22:37,830
Yeah.
530
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:39,650
Father of our country right there.
531
00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:40,830
Yeah, that's right.
532
00:22:41,170 --> 00:22:43,530
And if we flip around to the other side...
533
00:22:46,510 --> 00:22:49,330
It's actually an urn, it's a funerary urn.
534
00:22:49,390 --> 00:22:49,550
Oh.
535
00:22:50,190 --> 00:22:53,990
So this is a metal from 1800
536
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:58,070
that commemorates George Washington's death
537
00:22:58,070 --> 00:23:00,310
on December 14, 1799.
538
00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:03,290
Oh, that is extraordinarily cool.
539
00:23:03,490 --> 00:23:03,610
Yeah.
540
00:23:03,710 --> 00:23:05,750
And the hole on the top is deliberate
541
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:07,470
because these were meant to wear
542
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:10,150
at a service for George Washington.
543
00:23:10,530 --> 00:23:10,970
Wow.
544
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:13,330
On February 22, 1800.
545
00:23:13,330 --> 00:23:15,850
So just unique just to that funeral?
546
00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:16,130
Yeah.
547
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:19,950
And interestingly, Washington was a mason, right?
548
00:23:20,050 --> 00:23:22,530
This was designed by Jacob Perkins, who was a mason.
549
00:23:22,870 --> 00:23:24,230
That's really something.
550
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:28,410
Jacob Perkins of Newburyport, Massachusetts
551
00:23:28,410 --> 00:23:31,650
was an inventor who designed banknotes
552
00:23:31,650 --> 00:23:34,230
and developed anti-counterfeiting techniques
553
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:37,410
for U.S. currency in the late 18th century.
554
00:23:37,670 --> 00:23:40,530
He created the Washington Funeral Medal
555
00:23:40,530 --> 00:23:43,010
to serve as a unique masonic tribute
556
00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:44,430
to President Washington,
557
00:23:44,790 --> 00:23:47,930
who was also a well-known member of the Freemasons,
558
00:23:48,570 --> 00:23:50,810
the secretive fraternity that many believe
559
00:23:50,810 --> 00:23:53,050
descended from the Knights Templar.
560
00:23:53,950 --> 00:23:57,090
It's extraordinary if you found it in Boston, right?
561
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:59,710
It's really extraordinary to find it here.
562
00:23:59,970 --> 00:24:00,190
Yeah.
563
00:24:00,790 --> 00:24:01,270
They're rare.
564
00:24:01,670 --> 00:24:04,470
I think it speaks to somebody of pretty high status.
565
00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:07,210
I find that extraordinarily exciting.
566
00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:10,510
You do too, don't you? I can tell by your...
567
00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:13,810
Well, it's like everything we find makes no sense.
568
00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:15,450
Well, this is the second president
569
00:24:15,450 --> 00:24:17,130
that's actually tied to the Oak Island mystery
570
00:24:17,130 --> 00:24:20,290
because there's FDR and there's George Washington.
571
00:24:20,670 --> 00:24:21,710
And they were both masons.
572
00:24:22,350 --> 00:24:23,970
Both those presidents, for sure.
573
00:24:24,730 --> 00:24:28,490
Ever since the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795,
574
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:31,850
Freemasons such as Daniel McGuinness,
575
00:24:32,570 --> 00:24:35,350
Melbourne Chapel, and Franklin D. Roosevelt
576
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:37,990
have either led or been involved
577
00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:41,510
in nearly every organized treasure hunt on Oak Island.
578
00:24:41,870 --> 00:24:44,950
And just as curious are the many Masonic symbols
579
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:48,670
that have been found across its 140 acres,
580
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:51,550
including a man-made feature
581
00:24:51,550 --> 00:24:54,550
in the northern region of the triangle-shaped swamp
582
00:24:54,550 --> 00:24:57,450
that may represent the all-seeing eye.
583
00:24:58,750 --> 00:25:00,650
I really like this.
584
00:25:00,730 --> 00:25:03,250
I think this is really trying to tell some kind of story.
585
00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:03,690
Yeah.
586
00:25:04,530 --> 00:25:05,530
Well, what's it doing here?
587
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:07,050
I have no idea.
588
00:25:07,050 --> 00:25:09,030
Well, listen, I would be remiss
589
00:25:09,030 --> 00:25:10,570
if I didn't get Big Brother over here.
590
00:25:11,770 --> 00:25:12,210
So...
591
00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:13,910
Hang on, let me text him.
592
00:25:14,130 --> 00:25:14,330
Okay.
593
00:25:16,290 --> 00:25:17,850
Something you need to see.
594
00:25:19,150 --> 00:25:20,450
Pretty amazing, isn't it?
595
00:25:24,050 --> 00:25:25,450
He'll be here in a minute, I think.
596
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:28,470
Hello, Big Brother.
597
00:25:29,290 --> 00:25:29,650
Hey, Rick.
598
00:25:30,590 --> 00:25:32,450
What secrets do we have today?
599
00:25:32,830 --> 00:25:33,670
Here it is.
600
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:36,210
No secrets, but a great story.
601
00:25:36,210 --> 00:25:37,450
Who is that?
602
00:25:38,650 --> 00:25:39,590
Well, that's Washington.
603
00:25:39,810 --> 00:25:39,930
Yep.
604
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:41,310
It sure as heck is.
605
00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:44,670
In the Oak Island lab, Rick joins the team
606
00:25:44,670 --> 00:25:46,890
to see the Masonic funerary medal
607
00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:49,290
bearing the likeness of George Washington.
608
00:25:50,110 --> 00:25:52,510
So it's an 1800 medal
609
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:57,150
commemorating George Washington's death in 1799.
610
00:25:57,770 --> 00:25:58,150
Really?
611
00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:58,650
Yeah.
612
00:25:59,030 --> 00:26:01,610
Found here on Oak Island in the swamp.
613
00:26:02,070 --> 00:26:02,310
Hmm.
614
00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:06,310
This almost has to be somebody
615
00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:09,130
very much associated with George Washington.
616
00:26:09,490 --> 00:26:11,490
That might have been an individual of Masonic ties.
617
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:11,850
Yes.
618
00:26:12,830 --> 00:26:16,230
It fits in with one of my pet theories.
619
00:26:16,690 --> 00:26:16,910
Yeah.
620
00:26:17,270 --> 00:26:20,310
Somehow Oak Island was associated with revenues...
621
00:26:20,850 --> 00:26:21,150
Yeah.
622
00:26:21,270 --> 00:26:22,890
...to fund the American Revolution, right?
623
00:26:22,890 --> 00:26:23,110
Right.
624
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:28,270
We know Freemasons were Knights Templar.
625
00:26:29,010 --> 00:26:32,190
That they had a hand in the creation of the United States.
626
00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:32,890
Yeah.
627
00:26:33,690 --> 00:26:38,030
In 2018, author and researcher Court Lindahl,
628
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,970
along with his brother Bruce,
629
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:42,890
presented the team with this compelling theory.
630
00:26:43,330 --> 00:26:45,310
Louis Alexander Rochefoucauld,
631
00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:49,250
in his friendship with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson,
632
00:26:49,610 --> 00:26:51,750
he may have actually told them of Oak Island
633
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:53,410
or whatever secret was there.
634
00:26:55,450 --> 00:26:58,450
It was Court's belief that secret knowledge
635
00:26:58,450 --> 00:27:00,570
of Templar treasures on Oak Island
636
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:03,090
was given to General George Washington
637
00:27:03,090 --> 00:27:05,650
and other leaders of the American Revolution
638
00:27:05,650 --> 00:27:08,230
by a member of the Rochefoucauld family,
639
00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:12,230
a family of French nobles with ties to the Knights Templar
640
00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:14,330
dating back to the 12th century.
641
00:27:15,170 --> 00:27:19,150
They could have had part of the treasure from Oak Island
642
00:27:19,150 --> 00:27:22,050
as a way to finance the war
643
00:27:22,690 --> 00:27:25,370
and help establish the new country.
644
00:27:26,410 --> 00:27:27,470
Holy smokes.
645
00:27:28,530 --> 00:27:30,210
Watch your step. This stuff is slippery.
646
00:27:30,930 --> 00:27:31,910
Following their meeting,
647
00:27:32,510 --> 00:27:34,570
Bruce, Marty, and members of the team
648
00:27:34,570 --> 00:27:38,430
examined a carving located on the island's northern shore.
649
00:27:39,230 --> 00:27:42,830
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
650
00:27:42,970 --> 00:27:45,850
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
651
00:27:46,850 --> 00:27:49,890
It was a carving believed to depict a symbol
652
00:27:49,890 --> 00:27:51,670
known as an appeal to heaven.
653
00:27:51,670 --> 00:27:55,910
Commissioned by General George Washington in 1775,
654
00:27:56,490 --> 00:27:58,510
the symbol adorned battle flags
655
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,870
throughout the 13 American colonies
656
00:28:00,870 --> 00:28:05,290
to inspire support for the revolution against Great Britain.
657
00:28:06,610 --> 00:28:08,910
One has to remember that in 1800,
658
00:28:09,330 --> 00:28:10,830
the treasure hunt had just started.
659
00:28:11,330 --> 00:28:14,330
What was someone doing with a commemorative token
660
00:28:14,330 --> 00:28:16,570
of George Washington's funeral
661
00:28:16,570 --> 00:28:19,810
traipsing about in the north end of the bog?
662
00:28:19,810 --> 00:28:21,490
It defies logic,
663
00:28:22,550 --> 00:28:24,890
unless that person had knowledge
664
00:28:24,890 --> 00:28:28,230
of some enterprise happening on the island.
665
00:28:28,690 --> 00:28:32,370
Maybe it's possibly connected to the group of individuals
666
00:28:32,370 --> 00:28:35,190
responsible for the revolt in the swamp.
667
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:38,190
It probably would be worth looking at
668
00:28:38,190 --> 00:28:41,970
who was still living on the island in this period of time
669
00:28:41,970 --> 00:28:44,410
that might have had sympathies to the revolution
670
00:28:44,410 --> 00:28:45,750
on the American side.
671
00:28:45,770 --> 00:28:47,390
Yes, I think that's what it's crying out for.
672
00:28:47,390 --> 00:28:48,330
Yeah, I do.
673
00:28:48,790 --> 00:28:49,590
You gonna go back there?
674
00:28:49,910 --> 00:28:50,490
Oh, yeah.
675
00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:51,850
And I always say the same,
676
00:28:51,970 --> 00:28:53,510
all it takes is one good find.
677
00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:54,470
This is a good find.
678
00:28:54,530 --> 00:28:55,350
It is a good find.
679
00:28:55,850 --> 00:28:56,370
It's excellent.
680
00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:57,650
We gotta get back to work.
681
00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:58,030
Yeah.
682
00:28:58,190 --> 00:28:58,970
All right, we'll see you later.
683
00:28:59,050 --> 00:28:59,510
See you later.
684
00:29:00,550 --> 00:29:01,990
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
685
00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:06,430
Later that day...
686
00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:07,750
Hello.
687
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:08,850
Hey, Larry.
688
00:29:09,130 --> 00:29:09,610
Hey, Fiona.
689
00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:11,010
The boulder's gone.
690
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:12,330
That's pretty impressive.
691
00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:15,230
Craig, Jack, and Dr. Ian Spooner
692
00:29:15,230 --> 00:29:17,530
arrive at the site of the Lot 8 boulder.
693
00:29:18,410 --> 00:29:20,530
It came up like nothing.
694
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:21,790
Zero resistance.
695
00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:22,730
And interestingly,
696
00:29:23,230 --> 00:29:26,130
looks like this may have been all rock lying.
697
00:29:26,350 --> 00:29:26,550
Yeah.
698
00:29:27,330 --> 00:29:28,970
And we now have the opportunity
699
00:29:28,970 --> 00:29:31,770
to see if there's metals in that soil
700
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:34,250
that might tell us a little bit more
701
00:29:34,250 --> 00:29:35,350
about what was happening.
702
00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:35,690
Yeah.
703
00:29:36,190 --> 00:29:38,170
It may help guide your work
704
00:29:38,170 --> 00:29:40,010
because if we see an area that's, you know,
705
00:29:40,030 --> 00:29:41,230
high in metals,
706
00:29:41,450 --> 00:29:42,790
we should be really careful with that.
707
00:29:43,010 --> 00:29:43,310
Yeah.
708
00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:43,690
Okay.
709
00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:46,270
I think it's a good idea just to run a quick XRF.
710
00:29:46,690 --> 00:29:46,890
Okay.
711
00:29:47,390 --> 00:29:49,710
Your machine's taking an image
712
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:50,930
right off the surface, right?
713
00:29:50,930 --> 00:29:51,950
Right off the surface, yeah.
714
00:29:52,170 --> 00:29:53,830
So we can do the top of the upper layer,
715
00:29:54,030 --> 00:29:55,190
the top of the lower layer,
716
00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:56,730
and even hit it from the side
717
00:29:56,730 --> 00:29:58,190
to get different ideas?
718
00:29:58,610 --> 00:29:58,850
Yep.
