1
00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:06,690
(Transcrito por TurboScribe. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) Tonight, on the Curse of Pocahontas.
2
00:00:07,250 --> 00:00:08,050
Here we go.
3
00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:09,910
Oh, what was that?
4
00:00:09,970 --> 00:00:11,690
The caisson just hit something solid.
5
00:00:12,050 --> 00:00:13,790
Something really hard right there.
6
00:00:14,070 --> 00:00:15,110
Let's see what we've got.
7
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:18,490
This might have been around a treasure chest.
8
00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:19,770
Oh my gosh.
9
00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:20,290
What is it?
10
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:23,110
It's perfectly on the line of the cross.
11
00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:24,450
It's what we've been looking for.
12
00:00:25,610 --> 00:00:27,390
This is cool, Rick.
13
00:00:27,530 --> 00:00:29,270
This is bigger than what we think.
14
00:00:29,270 --> 00:00:30,990
There could be treasure down there.
15
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:37,670
There is an island in the North Atlantic
16
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:41,570
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
17
00:00:41,570 --> 00:00:44,010
for more than 200 years.
18
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:48,090
So far, they have found a stone slab
19
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,690
with strange symbols carved into it,
20
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:54,230
man-made workings that date to medieval times,
21
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:58,350
and a lead cross whose origin may be connected
22
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:59,830
to the Knights Templar.
23
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:04,770
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
24
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:10,690
And, according to legend, one more will have to die
25
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:13,690
before the treasure can be found.
26
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:28,460
Hey, Jack. Fiona.
27
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:29,220
Hey, Rick.
28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:29,620
Hi.
29
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:32,300
Look at the progress we've made.
30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:32,940
I see that.
31
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:38,120
The quest for answers and treasure continues on Oak Island
32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,220
as Rick Lagina begins his day on Lot 8
33
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:43,720
with Fiona Steele and Jack Begley.
34
00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:45,900
I think it's interesting the way that the rocks
35
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:47,940
are structured on this side, on the right side.
36
00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:48,460
Yep.
37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,260
And we're not getting the same thing on the other side at all.
38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only side
39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,960
that was actually holding up the boulder.
40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,220
Mm-hmm.
41
00:01:57,300 --> 00:01:58,080
Here it goes.
42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,660
Here we go.
43
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:02,220
After removing a 40,000-pound boulder
44
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:06,920
from an artificially placed ring of small stones one week ago...
45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,479
Look at that.
46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,380
...the team was surprised to find new evidence
47
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:14,240
that the boulder was covering a back-filled man-made feature
48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,780
or possible shaft.
49
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,840
That looks like a drilled hole.
50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,660
Exactly. Yeah.
51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,200
And when geoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner scanned the soils
52
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,900
with a handheld X-ray fluorescence device,
53
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:30,740
he discovered evidence of possible treasure
54
00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:32,980
buried somewhere deeper below.
55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,420
It's showing something that I didn't see in the other sample.
56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,080
Oh.
57
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,320
Which is some silver.
58
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:39,960
Yeah.
59
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:40,360
Yeah.
60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,820
We will remove the rest of the top layer of the soil.
61
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,400
We'll go through the second layer,
62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,640
and then the plan is really to start removing
63
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,820
some of these rocks as well to really see what's underneath here
64
00:02:52,820 --> 00:02:55,720
because there could still very well be something underneath here
65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,000
that we just haven't seen yet.
66
00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:57,560
Yeah.
67
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,340
You just have to be patient, right?
68
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:01,940
That's all you can do.
69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,860
The two completely different sides of the hole
70
00:03:05,860 --> 00:03:08,080
is really quite interesting.
71
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:08,740
Yeah.
72
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,020
Why that side and not this side?
73
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:11,740
I know.
74
00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:15,580
I can certainly say that I think it was done a long time ago.
75
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,380
What's your long time ago?
76
00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:21,040
Well, I would say before the 1700s.
77
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,380
So we have to just keep going forward and gathering the information
78
00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:27,400
and have a proper analysis of everything.
79
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:27,740
Yeah.
80
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:29,960
There's got to be something under that boulder.
81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,440
Yeah.
82
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,880
But the only way to know is to continue to do the work you're doing.
83
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,760
So, all righty.
84
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,380
Thank you.
85
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:36,880
All right.
86
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:37,540
See you later.
87
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,000
See you, Rick.
88
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,380
See you.
89
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:42,660
With the Lot 8 feature, I feel absolutely intrigued.
90
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,320
It's not like anything we see on Oak Island
91
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,360
or anything in Nova Scotia, period.
92
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,380
This is motivating us to look through the rocks,
93
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:51,340
look through the structures.
94
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,660
We've got to look at everything
95
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:54,920
and make sure that we're not missing anything in this.
96
00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:56,860
There could be treasure down there.
97
00:04:01,390 --> 00:04:02,890
Look, check this out, Jack.
98
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:04,110
What is that?
99
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:07,390
Well, it's the first slattish rock that I'm seeing,
100
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:08,750
and it seems to be at the bottom.
101
00:04:09,070 --> 00:04:12,110
And if you look at all the other rocks, they're a little rounded and little
102
00:04:12,110 --> 00:04:14,450
other than those big ones sticking out.
103
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:16,329
But that could be hiding something.
104
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:18,430
We're going to find out.
105
00:04:20,209 --> 00:04:21,150
Look, it keeps going.
106
00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:22,410
Hmm.
107
00:04:23,050 --> 00:04:23,570
Ooh.
108
00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:25,230
Hmm.
109
00:04:26,450 --> 00:04:28,570
It's a good thing we are going below this soil.
110
00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:33,230
It's the flattest rock that we've seen so far.
111
00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:36,370
As we've been uncovering some of the soil,
112
00:04:36,490 --> 00:04:39,010
I'm starting to see a face of these flattened rocks.
113
00:04:39,390 --> 00:04:43,410
It just looks a little odd because it's so perfectly smooth and flat
114
00:04:43,410 --> 00:04:46,090
that I'm wondering if this is part of the feature itself.
115
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:50,150
The fact that we're uncovering all of these rocks in a pattern,
116
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:52,330
I wasn't expecting to see that at all.
117
00:04:52,470 --> 00:04:52,670
Yeah.
118
00:04:52,970 --> 00:04:55,590
And I don't think it would hurt to have Dr. Spooner take a look at this
119
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:56,970
once it's all uncovered as well.
120
00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:59,890
He may be more familiar with this type of deposit.
121
00:05:00,370 --> 00:05:02,070
It seems not normal.
122
00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:02,710
Mm-hmm.
123
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:05,670
So can this island get any stranger?
124
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:09,130
It's the strangest island with the strangest things that are so
125
00:05:09,130 --> 00:05:09,810
unexplainable.
126
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:13,630
As Fiona continues uncovering clues on Lot 8,
127
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:16,530
later that morning...
128
00:05:16,530 --> 00:05:17,490
It's a new day.
129
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:18,830
Here we are in the Karma.
130
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:20,090
Oh, yeah.
131
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:22,070
It's a hell of a thing.
132
00:05:23,050 --> 00:05:27,570
Jack joins Craig Tester and other members of the team in the Money Pit area
133
00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:33,650
where digging proceeds in the 7-foot diameter shaft known as Karma 1.
134
00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:36,670
Did he say it went down real easy?
135
00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:38,930
He says it's going down like a hot knife through butter.
136
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:44,750
The excavation is fast approaching the depth of 150 feet.
137
00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:46,330
Here we go, Terry.
138
00:05:47,630 --> 00:05:50,570
Meaning it could soon breach the solution channel,
139
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:54,450
where the team hopes to find a massive source of precious metals
140
00:05:54,450 --> 00:05:59,270
that have previously been detected in this area through soil and water testing.
141
00:06:05,850 --> 00:06:07,430
Here we go.
142
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:09,650
Let's find some gold and silver.
143
00:06:12,530 --> 00:06:13,750
It's sloppy.
144
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:16,650
I believe we're proving that the solution channel
145
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:19,430
gobbled up a bunch of stuff from the Money Pit.
146
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:23,050
The Karma would be that we can finally, in the end, solve the whole thing.
147
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:25,130
That would be the Karma I like.
148
00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:26,570
Morning, guys.
149
00:06:26,850 --> 00:06:27,370
Morning, Adam.
150
00:06:27,750 --> 00:06:29,390
See you all kind of watching the show.
151
00:06:29,570 --> 00:06:29,790
Yeah.
152
00:06:30,210 --> 00:06:30,710
What's the update?
153
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:34,610
We're just starting to touch the 150 range on the dig.
154
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:35,030
Okay.
155
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:39,430
At 160, we'll probably hit the bedrock plateau on top of the solution channel,
156
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:41,670
at which point we'll see how well we're cutting through it, right?
157
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:42,730
Yeah, absolutely.
158
00:06:43,190 --> 00:06:46,510
So we're going to get almost to the top of the bedrock plateau with this one.
159
00:06:46,610 --> 00:06:46,790
Yeah.
160
00:06:47,070 --> 00:06:48,130
We're ready to go at it.
161
00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:48,690
Cool.
162
00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:49,870
All right, guys.
163
00:06:49,970 --> 00:06:50,430
Keep you updated.
164
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:51,170
Thanks.
165
00:06:51,190 --> 00:06:51,830
Thank you.
166
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:59,670
Once we get to 155, we should let the guys at the watch plan know
167
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:01,990
we've got a lot of stuff that they could be looking for there.
168
00:07:02,670 --> 00:07:06,490
I may have already found really cool, interesting find.
169
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:08,070
Yeah, definitely.
170
00:07:09,070 --> 00:07:13,050
As the digging operation continues in the Karma I shaft,
171
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:18,330
some 500 feet to the east near Smith's Cove.
172
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:19,650
That would be limestone.
173
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:21,330
It's a piece of pottery.
174
00:07:22,090 --> 00:07:24,990
Charles Barkhouse and other members of the team
175
00:07:24,990 --> 00:07:29,570
sift through the excavated spoils that are being processed at the wash plant.
176
00:07:30,630 --> 00:07:33,110
Installed by Billy Gerhart and his team,
177
00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:38,970
the industrial grade machine moves truckloads of spoils through metal grates,
178
00:07:39,370 --> 00:07:42,270
known as grizzly bars, to remove larger rocks.
179
00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:47,090
The spoils then pass through a tool known as a chopper
180
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:49,750
to break up and remove the thick clay.
181
00:07:51,210 --> 00:07:53,590
From there, they drop onto a shaker deck
182
00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:56,030
where they are sprayed clean with water
183
00:07:56,030 --> 00:07:59,430
and then separated by size onto three conveyor belts,
184
00:08:00,850 --> 00:08:04,970
allowing the team to examine them by hand for important clues.
185
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:08,790
Hey, Charles, look at that.
186
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:15,340
That's really cool. That's a great find, Bailey.
187
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:18,280
Let's put it in the bag, and I'm going to take it and show the guys.
188
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Awesome.
189
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,260
They're looking for anything out of the ordinary,
190
00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:25,180
anything that catches your eye.
191
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:28,760
Literally pull it off the belt because you don't know what it may mean.
192
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,460
Hey, Jack, what do you think of that?
193
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,679
Oh.
194
00:08:34,340 --> 00:08:37,299
Well, at first glance, I see the smaller loops,
195
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,799
and they're not uniform.
196
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:39,480
No, they're not.
197
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,120
I bet this could be quite old.
198
00:08:42,419 --> 00:08:44,340
Well, Jack, if that is hand wrought,
199
00:08:45,020 --> 00:08:47,080
then it could be 1850s and earlier.
200
00:08:47,380 --> 00:08:47,660
Wow.
201
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:48,440
But it is pretty cool.
202
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,780
Whenever I see links of chain, I often wondered, what was it attached to?
203
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,300
Yeah.
204
00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:52,560
Right?
205
00:08:53,740 --> 00:08:55,760
This could be a clue to the mystery.
206
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:56,480
Yeah.
207
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
I'll go take it back to the lab.
208
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:58,880
Okay.
209
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:00,040
I'll keep looking.
210
00:09:00,380 --> 00:09:00,580
Yeah.
211
00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:05,160
Meanwhile, back in the Monterrey area.
212
00:09:05,660 --> 00:09:06,180
Woo-hoo!
213
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:08,700
I like this new piece of equipment.
214
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,300
We're getting down there.
215
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,660
That's some pretty good progress.
216
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,840
I feel like I'm on something.
217
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,820
I can't tell if that's the wood in there shaking.
218
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,300
I'm nervous.
219
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:23,340
Something hard.
220
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:24,780
Oh.
221
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:27,900
A piece of metal.
222
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,020
That's maybe what I'm on.
223
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:32,780
You saw it.
224
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:33,340
I saw it, too.
225
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,540
Josh, is it feeling hard now?
226
00:09:42,340 --> 00:09:43,820
I'm hitting something at the bottom.
227
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,000
Something hard hanging me up there.
228
00:09:51,970 --> 00:09:53,070
Something's going on here.
229
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:56,540
What's up, man?
230
00:09:56,860 --> 00:09:57,480
How's it going?
231
00:09:58,220 --> 00:09:58,700
Hey, guys.
232
00:09:58,700 --> 00:09:59,620
Hey, Quintin.
233
00:09:59,660 --> 00:10:00,060
How you doing?
234
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:02,160
So we're hitting something hard again.
235
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,940
We're not sure exactly what it is, if it's metal
236
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:05,980
or if it's something else down there.
237
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:07,340
Oh, wow.
238
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,920
In the Money Pit area, the Karma 1 shaft
239
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,740
has encountered a strangely hard material
240
00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:18,680
or possible object at a depth of nearly 160 feet.
241
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:19,880
Great stuff.
242
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:20,280
All right.
243
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:20,920
I'll keep you updated.
244
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:21,700
Thanks a lot, Quintin.
245
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:22,860
Appreciate it.
246
00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:26,980
It's kind of exciting to think there's some stronger
247
00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:29,440
obstacle down there that's stopping the equipment.
248
00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:32,260
Even the teeth and the tools that we brought out
249
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:34,400
this year on this equipment is designed
250
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,220
to chew through bedrock.
251
00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:38,300
And the fact that it is having a hard time going through it
252
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,500
suggests maybe there's something else down there.
253
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Hey, buddy.
254
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,300
How's it going?
255
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:42,860
Hey.
256
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,120
They did say that the caisson just hit something solid.
257
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:49,160
According to Rock, caisson's at 155,
258
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,460
digs a little bit past it.
259
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,740
They felt the ground solidify.
260
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:54,600
What's it look like?
261
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:55,140
Hard clay?
262
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:56,400
Possibly metal.
263
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:56,980
Good.
264
00:10:57,340 --> 00:10:58,620
I hope we get lucky.
265
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,540
You well could.
266
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:00,380
Absolutely.
267
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:02,480
Here comes the bucket.
268
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,480
Another bucket, another chance, guys.
269
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:05,020
Here it comes.
270
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Yep.
271
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:09,460
That looks like solid material right
272
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:10,320
at the bottom of the bucket.
273
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:13,980
OK, mate.
274
00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:16,160
Let's see if there's anything in this one.
275
00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:27,950
We've got a signal, Terry.
276
00:11:28,510 --> 00:11:28,790
Yep.
277
00:11:31,810 --> 00:11:33,070
Yeah, just there.
278
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:44,160
I think it's in the deck, Terry.
279
00:11:52,070 --> 00:11:53,230
No, it isn't.
280
00:11:53,770 --> 00:11:55,150
It's a piece of metal plate.
281
00:11:55,950 --> 00:11:58,690
Or it could be part of a shoe from an old shaft.
282
00:12:01,780 --> 00:12:02,320
Interesting.
283
00:12:02,740 --> 00:12:03,020
Yep.
284
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:04,700
There's something here.
285
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Be careful.
286
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:06,560
It looks sharp.
287
00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:07,020
Yep.
288
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,540
Metal pieces, possibly from the bottom brace
289
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:13,840
or shoe of an old shaft?
290
00:12:14,140 --> 00:12:16,000
I think I found a piece of shoe.
291
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:18,600
Could be off the bottom of the chapel shaft.
292
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:20,300
We may be at the bottom.
293
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:20,800
Yeah.
294
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:22,280
Getting close to the bottom of the chapel for sure.
295
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:28,180
In 1897, treasure hunters Frederick Blair
296
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:31,140
and William Chappell drilled into a believed
297
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:36,240
concrete-encased vault at a depth of 153 feet.
298
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:40,940
In 1931, with the help of William's son, Melbourne,
299
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,820
the three men constructed a nearly 160-foot-deep shaft
300
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:48,660
in an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve it.
301
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Is it possible that the team has recovered
302
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,580
a clue suggesting they may be close to rediscovering
303
00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:57,460
the so-called chapel vault?
304
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,260
We're thinking that treasure fell to the bottom
305
00:13:01,260 --> 00:13:03,600
of the Solution Channel, hopefully today
306
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,740
or maybe early tomorrow.
307
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:05,880
We'll be down there.
308
00:13:05,940 --> 00:13:06,720
We're going to find out.
309
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:06,940
Yeah.
310
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,060
And this is the moment of truth.
311
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:10,520
Oh, another load coming up.
312
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:11,520
Here it comes.
313
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:11,780
Yeah.
314
00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:14,160
Look at that.
315
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,600
So that, my friends, is gypsum right there.
316
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:21,760
Yeah.
317
00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:25,040
Yeah, that would mean we are probably
318
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,720
into the bedrock plateau a little bit.
319
00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:32,240
The bedrock plateau is the thick layer of gypsum,
320
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:38,220
some 160 to 170 feet deep, that the team has previously
321
00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:40,680
encountered just above the Solution Channel.
322
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:44,300
This means they have just a few more feet of digging
323
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:46,900
before reaching their target zone, where
324
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:48,420
silver has been detected.
325
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,800
We're getting to the heart of the matter now, guys.
326
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:51,620
Here we go.
327
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,520
We're going to be boring through the edge of the Solution
328
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,480
Channel on the bedrock plateau, crunching down through.
329
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,840
That's going to be tough cutting from here on in.
330
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:02,840
We have done a lot of caissons around here,
331
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,500
but very few of them have extended
332
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:05,620
beyond the bedrock plateau.
333
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:07,900
And that is very difficult to drill through.
334
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:10,500
And that causes an immense amount of difficulty
335
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,420
for the drillers to try and carry on that hole
336
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:14,500
and down into the actual Solution Channel itself.
337
00:14:19,580 --> 00:14:27,660
You guys, looks like a report coming in.
338
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:30,340
We're in that kind of bad material,
339
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,180
the drill that we've seen.
340
00:14:31,460 --> 00:14:31,720
Oh, yeah.
341
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,020
So we're going a little bit slower right now,
342
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:35,780
because we're pushing through some hard stuff.
343
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,380
We're happy to report we're down to 171 feet with the casing.
344
00:14:40,060 --> 00:14:42,240
The quicker you break into the Solution Channel,
345
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:44,620
I think, the more likely we are to find what we seek.
346
00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:46,400
It's about time, right?
347
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,240
That's right, Gary.
348
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:48,500
Wouldn't that be karma?
349
00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:50,360
Karma, yes, absolutely.
350
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:50,940
Very good.
351
00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:52,100
Thanks, guys.
352
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:55,580
As the dig pushes deeper in the Money Pit area.
353
00:14:57,060 --> 00:14:58,880
Well, this is a pretty exciting spot.
354
00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:00,120
This is Cone D.
355
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,800
We know it's part of the alignment for the cross.
356
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,900
In the northwestern region of the swamp,
357
00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:10,440
Tom Nolan is leading a search on his property near Cone D,
358
00:15:10,940 --> 00:15:15,160
one of six massive boulders that make up the megalithic feature
359
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,060
known as Nolan's Cross.
360
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:19,500
We're going to stay in the line of the cross,
361
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,660
and we're going to move towards the headstone.
362
00:15:23,420 --> 00:15:25,520
Gaspani has a theory about the cross.
363
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,500
We could find some artifacts on this
364
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,740
and maybe something even bigger than that.
365
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,380
Okay.
366
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:31,220
Let's do it.
367
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,980
I am very enthusiastic about what we will learn today.
368
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,560
One week ago,
369
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,040
archaeoastronomy expert Professor Adriano Gaspani
370
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:44,400
presented his analysis that the eight-sided wooden survey stakes
371
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,460
found in the swamp may have been put in place,
372
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,980
along with the boulders of Nolan's Cross,
373
00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:54,180
in the 13th century by members of the Knights Templar.
374
00:15:54,780 --> 00:15:58,780
The two sets of stakes were dated.
375
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,500
Now, because Cone D sets in the swamp near the stakes,
376
00:16:06,020 --> 00:16:08,280
Tom hopes to find more clues in the area
377
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,320
that might help prove this incredible theory.
378
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,120
I think I'm good for now.
379
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,780
Lots of rocks.
380
00:16:15,620 --> 00:16:16,920
What is this?
381
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,340
Hmm.
382
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:23,720
This looks, I mean, split.
383
00:16:24,020 --> 00:16:27,460
It looks split, and it doesn't look natural, does it?
384
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,000
No.
385
00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:33,600
But it's perfectly on the line of the cross.
386
00:16:34,740 --> 00:16:36,000
And the one leaning up here
387
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,960
looks almost like it's been perfectly cut, doesn't it?
388
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,220
Maybe we should give Rick a call.
389
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,100
Just have a look at it, see what he thinks.
390
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Yeah, that's a good idea.
391
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,900
Okay, I'll text him to come down and have a look at this.
392
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,220
Could Tom be correct that they have found
393
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:53,340
an artificially split stone near Cone D?
394
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:58,340
If so, who split it in two, and for what purpose?
395
00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:00,740
Hey, Tom.
396
00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:01,240
Hey, Rick.
397
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,700
Might get you to have a look at this.
398
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:06,099
The reason this stands out
399
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,400
is because it is right on the line of the cross.
400
00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:11,800
Pretty substantial, too.
401
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:14,540
An unnatural look to it, for sure.
402
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:14,940
Yep.
403
00:17:15,460 --> 00:17:18,700
You know, every time my dad found a stone formation
404
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:21,579
that fit with the line of the stakes, you know,
405
00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:23,980
he assumed that the original creators of this
406
00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:24,940
placed these stones.
407
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:28,500
I mean, we know the boulders of the cross were placed,
408
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,860
but to me, this might be part of the works.
409
00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:33,760
Maybe Al can just do a little dig here and see.
410
00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:34,280
Absolutely.
411
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,200
See what's what.
412
00:17:43,290 --> 00:17:44,130
That's weird.
413
00:17:45,730 --> 00:17:46,930
Just a sec, Al.
414
00:17:47,790 --> 00:17:48,790
Look at this, Rick.
415
00:17:49,230 --> 00:17:51,750
Almost the coloration has totally changed
416
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:52,610
in this one area.
417
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:53,870
Yeah.
418
00:17:54,670 --> 00:17:56,230
Pretty gray looking, eh?
419
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:57,590
Yeah.
420
00:17:57,970 --> 00:18:01,190
The rocks are kind of grayish.
421
00:18:01,610 --> 00:18:03,530
The soil even looks grayish.
422
00:18:04,970 --> 00:18:07,350
That's almost blue clay looking.
423
00:18:07,690 --> 00:18:10,470
Maybe it matches the Lot 5 plan.
424
00:18:10,550 --> 00:18:10,770
Yeah.
425
00:18:11,550 --> 00:18:13,110
Lot 5 and the Money Pit as well.
426
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:25,470
That would be quite something.
427
00:18:26,170 --> 00:18:29,970
While digging near the Cone D boulder of Nolan's Cross,
428
00:18:30,530 --> 00:18:32,650
Rick and other members of the team
429
00:18:32,650 --> 00:18:35,210
have just discovered a possible clue,
430
00:18:35,690 --> 00:18:38,050
potentially hand-worked blue clay
431
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:40,310
that has previously been uncovered
432
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:42,550
in the rounded feature on Lot 5,
433
00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:45,230
as well as during 19th-century England
434
00:18:45,970 --> 00:18:47,890
in the original Money Pit.
435
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:51,390
It's concentrated right in this one spot.
436
00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:53,490
That's definitely different, though.
437
00:18:53,930 --> 00:18:56,630
You haven't seen that anywhere in that dig, have you?
438
00:18:56,830 --> 00:18:57,010
No.
439
00:18:57,550 --> 00:18:58,750
It follows that rock split.
440
00:18:59,590 --> 00:19:02,250
Well, we should bag more samples for that stuff.
441
00:19:03,190 --> 00:19:06,570
We know that blue clay, when used correctly,
442
00:19:07,210 --> 00:19:11,250
will seal a box, a treasure chest,
443
00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:14,090
a chamber from the penetration of water.
444
00:19:14,090 --> 00:19:17,310
We know it because they used blue clay on the shafts,
445
00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:20,370
and I hope this is the connection to the Money Pit.
446
00:19:20,610 --> 00:19:22,850
And I find that exceedingly interesting.
447
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:26,290
What we might do, Al, is just do a side profile,
448
00:19:26,770 --> 00:19:31,510
just to see if we see that continuation going that way.
449
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:31,990
Okay.
450
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:45,150
Yeah.
451
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:55,920
What is it?
452
00:19:57,380 --> 00:19:57,980
I don't know.
453
00:20:03,530 --> 00:20:03,990
It's a stake.
454
00:20:04,530 --> 00:20:05,770
Oh, my gosh.
455
00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:08,110
It was pounded right in alongside the rock,
456
00:20:08,350 --> 00:20:09,590
right on the line of the cross.
457
00:20:10,090 --> 00:20:11,770
If this is the line, as you say,
458
00:20:12,730 --> 00:20:14,970
then somebody wanted to make sure it was laid out perfectly.
459
00:20:15,550 --> 00:20:16,470
This stake, this is the one that was laid out perfectly.
460
00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:19,110
Definitely ties to the line of the cross.
461
00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:20,950
Yeah, let's see it, Tom, if I can.
462
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:28,560
Your dad never used these, right?
463
00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:31,500
No, he just used the factory-cut ones.
464
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:33,400
Axe cut.
465
00:20:33,620 --> 00:20:33,840
Yeah.
466
00:20:34,420 --> 00:20:37,680
Finding that here, that's quite something.
467
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,340
Mm-hmm.
468
00:20:39,580 --> 00:20:41,580
75, 100 feet from Cone D?
469
00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:44,960
It can only be in association with the layout of the cross.
470
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:45,880
What else could it be?
471
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,980
It makes sense to find one here,
472
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,660
because if they were laying out the cross,
473
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:51,900
they're staring right across the bough,
474
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,740
you'd want to set a post here
475
00:20:53,740 --> 00:20:55,360
to make sure you were on the right line.
476
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:55,760
Yeah.
477
00:20:56,580 --> 00:20:59,920
Given that the team has now found another survey stake
478
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:04,460
located some 25 yards from one of the boulders of Nolan's Cross,
479
00:21:05,060 --> 00:21:07,320
could it be connected to the others
480
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,960
previously found nearby in the swamp
481
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,560
and support Professor Gaspani's theory
482
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,920
that the wooden stakes at Nolan's Cross are directly related?
483
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:18,600
It's stunning.
484
00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:22,580
It's what five highly accredited astronomers
485
00:21:22,580 --> 00:21:23,980
and archaeoastronomers said.
486
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,640
They agree with the professors' calculations and conclusions.
487
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:29,300
It's what we've been looking for.
488
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:29,520
Yeah.
489
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,980
The stakes found in close proximity to Nolan's Cross,
490
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,720
which was possibly built in the 1200s,
491
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:40,520
might be more concrete evidence
492
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,920
that it was done at the same moment in time.
493
00:21:44,260 --> 00:21:47,240
That needs to go to the lab, and we've got more to dig.
494
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Off you go.
495
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:53,600
Later that afternoon...
496
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,180
Hey, Peter. Hi, Fiona.
497
00:21:55,540 --> 00:21:57,720
Hi. What do you think of this?
498
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:58,580
Oh, wow.
499
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,180
Dr. Ian Spooner arrives on Lot 8,
500
00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:06,520
where Fiona has now uncovered a tightly packed layer of stones
501
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,860
that were hidden beneath back-filled soil
502
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:10,320
and the massive boulder.
503
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,160
Now, I would like to know if you think I'm crazy,
504
00:22:13,260 --> 00:22:15,840
because I don't feel like this is natural at all.
505
00:22:15,980 --> 00:22:17,840
It's not natural, first of all.
506
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,620
It just can't be because of the organic matter
507
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:20,620
all around those stones.
508
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,120
I've never seen anything like this here.
509
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,500
And you can also see the cradle of rocks
510
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:27,220
around the top quite nicely now.
511
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:27,780
Yes.
512
00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:29,540
It's wild. I'm blown away.
513
00:22:29,940 --> 00:22:32,800
Well, you can even see a circular formation of rocks
514
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,920
right around the base here.
515
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,800
I'm going to be removing this soil shortly,
516
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:37,940
and I would like to see if that pattern continues.
517
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,400
Right.
518
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:40,800
We're just wondering if there's something underneath.
519
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:42,800
Was there something intentionally buried?
520
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Yes.
521
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,540
You know, we did some XRF, portal XRF.
522
00:22:46,580 --> 00:22:48,560
We got high lead, and that's interesting to me,
523
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:49,360
why the high lead.
524
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:49,940
Yeah.
525
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,120
Three weeks ago,
526
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,360
after taking soil samples beneath the large boulder,
527
00:22:55,980 --> 00:22:59,520
Dr. Spooner found high traces of lead in the material.
528
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,860
This suggested evidence of burning fire underground,
529
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,620
which is a mining practice that was used centuries ago
530
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:10,300
to circulate air in shafts and tunnels.
531
00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:11,860
So what do you think it is?
532
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:13,780
The stone is either a marker
533
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,620
or something to protect something.
534
00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:17,740
Yeah, I agree.
535
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:20,820
Is it possible that the team has revealed
536
00:23:20,820 --> 00:23:23,180
an artificial covering for a shaft
537
00:23:23,180 --> 00:23:25,540
or some kind of structure hidden below?
538
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,620
There's something about this
539
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,960
that makes me feel like it's ancient.
540
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:33,720
Yeah, and this would take an extraordinary amount of effort.
541
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,240
It would be with incredible purpose and intent.
542
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,640
That's why, to me, there should be something more here.
543
00:23:40,220 --> 00:23:40,960
Maybe there is.
544
00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:41,860
Yeah, yeah.
545
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,720
Got to go deeper, yeah.
546
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:43,100
Yeah.
547
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:46,740
Anyway, I'd love to come back when it's further developed.
548
00:23:47,540 --> 00:23:48,960
Great, thank you for your set of eyes upon us.
549
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,020
I think it's really cool you're involved
550
00:23:50,020 --> 00:23:51,840
in one of the coolest things I've seen.
551
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,100
It is very cool.
552
00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:53,460
Yeah.
553
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:53,740
Yeah.
554
00:23:54,580 --> 00:23:56,320
Uncle Rick needs to take a look at this.
555
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:56,860
I agree.
556
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,140
As a new morning dawns on Oak Island.
557
00:24:03,460 --> 00:24:05,340
This is cool, Rick.
558
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,360
Well, so they did make a cradle.
559
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:10,040
Yeah.
560
00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:14,120
Rick arrives on lot 8 with other members of the team
561
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:16,700
for his first look at the stone formation
562
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:19,960
that was covered by the 40,000-pound boulder.
563
00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:21,520
It's like a mosaic.
564
00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:21,960
Yeah.
565
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:23,940
It's really quite well done.
566
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:24,260
Yeah.
567
00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:27,560
My mind's racing with a number of questions.
568
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:28,940
Who did it?
569
00:24:29,220 --> 00:24:30,120
Why was it done?
570
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,180
What does it mean?
571
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,700
Is it a totally different story than the treasure story?
572
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,680
It exhibits a mosaic-like appearance,
573
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:41,380
which is really quite unique.
574
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,860
To support a 40,000-pound boulder,
575
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,920
there is a reason why this was done.
576
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,520
So what do we think?
577
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:52,000
I think this is culturally significant.
578
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:52,340
Yeah.
579
00:24:52,340 --> 00:24:55,040
It's either here to cover something
580
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,060
or it's here to mark something,
581
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,260
and we can't rule out a number of ideas for this at this point.
582
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,100
I mean, it could have been ceremonial.
583
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:05,080
Standing alone, this doesn't make sense
584
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,060
because for all intents and purposes,
585
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,300
it's in the middle of nowhere.
586
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,680
Have you ever seen anything like this before?
587
00:25:11,380 --> 00:25:11,740
No.
588
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,460
I've worked with stone for a number of years.
589
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:18,580
I see it, and I think, how in the world would you do that?
590
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,160
Why would you do that
591
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,620
if you're not going to inter something underneath it?
592
00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:24,860
And if there is something underneath it,
593
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,220
then it's got to be valuable to those persons.
594
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:31,080
This is done by somebody who has sufficient resources
595
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,820
that they can pour everything into it in terms of manpower.
596
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,780
It's almost certainly European.
597
00:25:37,020 --> 00:25:38,120
Yeah, that's what I would agree.
598
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:39,980
I think it's European as well.
599
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,420
This could be changing Nova Scotian history.
600
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:47,040
I've done a lot of research on different megalithic structures,
601
00:25:47,940 --> 00:25:50,400
megaliths, across North America and even in Europe.
602
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:52,940
I believe strongly that what we're seeing
603
00:25:52,940 --> 00:25:55,720
is a European megalithic construction.
604
00:25:56,620 --> 00:25:58,200
The indigenous people, I don't think,
605
00:25:58,220 --> 00:25:59,820
would have the technology to do it.
606
00:26:00,140 --> 00:26:02,620
You'd need an intimate knowledge of physics and geometry,
607
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,980
nor would they bother to move a boulder like that.
608
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,320
So it has to be a European construct,
609
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,700
and that makes the most sense to me.
610
00:26:11,460 --> 00:26:12,480
Well, this is very interesting.
611
00:26:12,940 --> 00:26:16,160
You all know that Marty had a keen interest in this.
612
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,880
We should show him what this feature is beginning to develop.
613
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:23,080
I think he'd like to be brought up to speed on that,
614
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,180
so I'll give him a phone call.
615
00:26:26,340 --> 00:26:27,180
Hey, Rick.
616
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,740
Hey, brother, what's going on?
617
00:26:29,140 --> 00:26:30,340
Well, we're about to show you.
618
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,080
You can guess where we are.
619
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,460
I would guess you're on Lot A.
620
00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:36,440
You got that exactly correct.
621
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:38,220
I'm going to hand the phone to Fiona,
622
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,700
and she can give you a visual of the work they've done.
623
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:43,120
Okay.
624
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:45,660
Well, Marty, I can't wait to show you this.
625
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,540
I'll turn it around.
626
00:26:46,860 --> 00:26:47,300
Yes.
627
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:47,900
Okay.
628
00:26:48,020 --> 00:26:48,700
What are you looking at?
629
00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:54,320
You're looking at a rock-lined, cradled area underneath the boulder.
630
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,320
It's entirely rock-lined,
631
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,400
absolutely man-placed,
632
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,520
and extremely intentional.
633
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:04,800
It looks like the paved road in the swamp.
634
00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:05,420
Yeah.
635
00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:09,500
That idea, I certainly think it's absolutely intentional and purposeful.
636
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,460
Could Marty be correct
637
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:14,100
that the stone feature on Lot A
638
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,520
might have the same design as the stone road
639
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,620
that was uncovered in the southeast corner of the swamp
640
00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:22,540
back in 2020,
641
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,200
a road that may be at least 500 years old
642
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,060
and of Portuguese origin?
643
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,980
If so,
644
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:35,760
could both be connected to the 14th-century silver Portuguese coin
645
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,120
believed to have been recovered from the money pit back in 1849?
646
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,220
The boulder on Lot A
647
00:27:42,220 --> 00:27:46,760
doesn't appear to have been manipulated by any of the known earlier searchers.
648
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,420
There's nothing in the record,
649
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:51,160
which means we might be dealing with something
650
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,300
that we know is untampered with.
651
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:57,040
We're the first people to look at this thing in a modern sense.
652
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,000
We found what might be the most significant thing.
653
00:28:01,460 --> 00:28:03,380
It's just not anything you could make up.
654
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:05,040
I'm hoping there's a breakthrough.
655
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,940
Do you have any idea what it is?
656
00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:11,380
I mean, sometimes you will have a rock-lined feature
657
00:28:11,380 --> 00:28:13,800
if you have a cache of something underneath.
658
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,780
It could be a marker of some sort.
659
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,780
But I think it's old.
660
00:28:17,180 --> 00:28:19,220
I feel like it's probably European.
661
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,820
Does everybody agree with that?
662
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,540
Yeah, I think we're all feeling the same with it.
663
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:25,920
This is the only thing I've ever been involved with at Oak Island.
664
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,500
Every expert agrees.
665
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:29,120
No, yeah.
666
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,060
No artifacts yet.
667
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,180
That alone is also indicating
668
00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:38,220
that either somebody was really trying to hide what they did here,
669
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,600
or they really didn't have things to lose,
670
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:43,260
which is also giving us implications
671
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:45,040
that this could be really, really old.
672
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,520
I'll give this back to Rick.
673
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:49,920
When you're finally done with the archaeological process,
674
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,940
I want to dig deep underneath it.
675
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:56,180
Once it's fully exposed, we may have some more insight for you.
676
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,640
Okay, well, look, it's going the right way then.
677
00:28:58,840 --> 00:28:59,780
You know what I'm going to say?
678
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,160
A, thank you very much.
679
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,880
B, call me anytime when you have significant stuff like this.
680
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,420
And C, get back to work.
681
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Bye. Bye.
682
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Okay.
683
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,400
So we just need to go around this in a very, very careful way
684
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,960
and not miss anything.
685
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,460
What are the next steps here?
686
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,020
We have to draw this cross-section first, very quickly,
687
00:29:20,340 --> 00:29:22,640
and then take out the rest of the soils
688
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,740
because the rocks are quite dramatic.
689
00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:26,420
We all want answers,
690
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,880
but I don't want to accelerate the process
691
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,560
in a destructive or invasive way just to get an answer.
692
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:36,420
Let's keep at this work.
693
00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:38,380
So let's see what comes of it.
694
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,700
There might be a secret right there.
695
00:29:40,420 --> 00:29:41,000
Please continue.
696
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,100
Thank you.
697
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:42,720
All righty.
698
00:29:45,620 --> 00:29:47,880
Later that morning...
699
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,940
I love the smell of money pit dirt in the morning.
700
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,960
Smells like victory, eh, Gary?
701
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:54,580
Yeah.
702
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,800
In the money pit area,
703
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,960
members of the team are coming together
