1
00:00:04,003 --> 00:00:06,423
We got two brooches
and two red gemstones.
2
00:00:06,423 --> 00:00:08,675
-Yes.
-RICK: That's pretty amazing.
3
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:10,968
This is not
your ordinary gem.
4
00:00:10,968 --> 00:00:12,679
-It's super ancient.
-Now we're cookin'.
5
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,805
These artifacts are pushing us
back farther in time
6
00:00:14,805 --> 00:00:16,557
-than I ever thought.
-Here it comes.
7
00:00:16,557 --> 00:00:18,559
RICK: For the first time
in two and a quarter centuries,
8
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:20,185
we can look underground
in the Money Pit.
9
00:00:20,185 --> 00:00:21,812
We can give you guys
some answers.
10
00:00:21,812 --> 00:00:23,231
MARTY:
What are the lighter spots?
11
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:24,440
I would say it's pure gold.
12
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,734
GARY:
Holy shmoly.
13
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:28,236
We have found our first gold
on Oak Island.
14
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:34,951
NARRATOR: There is an island
in the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,951 --> 00:00:38,662
where people have been looking
for an incredible treasure
16
00:00:38,662 --> 00:00:41,957
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:41,957 --> 00:00:45,085
So far, they have found
a stone slab
18
00:00:45,085 --> 00:00:47,756
with strange symbols carved
into it,
19
00:00:47,756 --> 00:00:50,716
mysterious fragments
of human bone,
20
00:00:50,716 --> 00:00:54,637
and a lead cross,
whose origin may stretch back
21
00:00:54,637 --> 00:00:57,055
to the days
of the Knights Templar.
22
00:00:57,055 --> 00:00:59,768
To date, six men have died
23
00:00:59,768 --> 00:01:02,561
trying to solve the mystery.
24
00:01:02,561 --> 00:01:05,105
And, according to legend,
25
00:01:05,105 --> 00:01:07,692
one more will have to die
26
00:01:07,692 --> 00:01:11,403
before the treasure
can be found.
27
00:01:14,948 --> 00:01:16,950
♪ ♪
28
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:25,668
It is a moment of great
excitement on Oak Island
29
00:01:25,668 --> 00:01:29,671
as Rick Lagina and metal
detection expert Gary Drayton
30
00:01:29,671 --> 00:01:31,882
head to the home of veteran
treasure hunter
31
00:01:31,882 --> 00:01:33,259
Dan Blankenship...
32
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:34,718
-You have it?
-Yeah.
33
00:01:34,718 --> 00:01:36,179
...with what they believe to be
34
00:01:36,179 --> 00:01:38,389
another exciting discovery.
35
00:01:38,389 --> 00:01:40,224
-Hey, guys.
-Look who's here.
36
00:01:40,224 --> 00:01:43,144
NARRATOR: They are eager to show
him and Rick's brother Marty
37
00:01:43,144 --> 00:01:47,231
an object they recently found
on Lot 21.
38
00:01:47,231 --> 00:01:51,027
You guys have the look of, uh,
somebody who's on a mission.
39
00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:53,822
Yeah, we got a little
top-pocket find.
40
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:55,156
-We do?
-Yeah.
41
00:01:55,156 --> 00:01:57,575
Gary was metal detecting,
and he found something
42
00:01:57,575 --> 00:01:58,826
he wants to show you.
43
00:01:58,826 --> 00:02:01,829
I'm here.
(chuckles)
44
00:02:01,829 --> 00:02:06,376
Well, we found a nice piece...
45
00:02:06,376 --> 00:02:08,752
of jewelry.
46
00:02:08,752 --> 00:02:11,673
RICK:
Wow.
47
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:14,592
It's a brooch,
but it's a fancy brooch.
48
00:02:14,592 --> 00:02:18,847
Definitely, a lot of work
went into this.
49
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:21,807
Oh, my gosh!
50
00:02:21,807 --> 00:02:24,644
It's another bobby-dazzler.
Look!
51
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,562
NARRATOR:
Just moments earlier,
52
00:02:26,562 --> 00:02:30,233
while looking for possible
metal artifacts on Lot 21,
53
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:33,319
Rick and Gary made an
astonishing discovery.
54
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,447
GARY:
It's a bloody brooch.
Look at that.
55
00:02:36,447 --> 00:02:39,449
NARRATOR:
For the second time
in less than one year,
56
00:02:39,449 --> 00:02:41,618
they have located
what appears to be
57
00:02:41,618 --> 00:02:43,288
a genuine piece
of antique jewelry.
58
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:47,584
Something that, once analyzed,
59
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:49,586
might validate numerous legends
60
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,628
about a vast treasure
of gold and jewels
61
00:02:51,628 --> 00:02:54,799
being buried on the island
hundreds of years ago.
62
00:02:57,384 --> 00:03:00,388
You can see where the pin was
on the back.
63
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:03,265
-DAN: I see.
-GARY: Yeah.
64
00:03:03,265 --> 00:03:07,020
Aren't we looking for gold,
silver, coins, and jewelry?
65
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:08,896
-Yes, we are.
-Yeah.
66
00:03:08,896 --> 00:03:11,399
GARY:
And we're finding more jewelry.
67
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:13,401
MARTY:
Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
68
00:03:13,401 --> 00:03:15,152
-It's a second gemstone...
-Yeah,
69
00:03:15,152 --> 00:03:17,864
second one with
a-a gemstone in it.
70
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:19,865
MARTY:
Hmm.
71
00:03:19,865 --> 00:03:22,743
Look at this, Rick.
We've got it.
72
00:03:22,743 --> 00:03:24,370
NARRATOR:
Last year, while exploring
73
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:26,455
near the middle of the island
on Lot 8,
74
00:03:26,455 --> 00:03:29,334
Rick and Gary
unearthed a jeweled brooch,
75
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:31,877
set with a similar
red-colored stone.
76
00:03:31,877 --> 00:03:34,923
-Look at that.
-Oh, man.
77
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:37,341
NARRATOR:
A stone that was later
determined to be
78
00:03:37,341 --> 00:03:39,426
a hand-cut Rhodolite Garnet,
79
00:03:39,426 --> 00:03:44,057
possibly dating back
as early as the 16th century.
80
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,433
RICK:
That's gorgeous.
81
00:03:46,433 --> 00:03:48,436
It's a brooch, another one.
82
00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:51,855
And it's got a bright red
jewel on it.
83
00:03:51,855 --> 00:03:54,776
Could be valuable, spendable.
84
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:58,905
The jewel is much smaller
than the find last year,
85
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:02,449
a little bit more intricate
design on the setting.
86
00:04:02,449 --> 00:04:05,870
This is much more
well-preserved.
87
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:08,997
Is it a unique,
interesting find? Absolutely.
88
00:04:08,997 --> 00:04:11,668
MARTY:
How old do you think that is?
89
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:15,504
It wouldn't surprise me
if that's 1700s or even older.
90
00:04:15,504 --> 00:04:19,884
Well, they've made jewelry
for a long time, you know that.
91
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:22,095
-Exactly.
-I have visions of, like,
92
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,680
pirates filling their pockets
full of jewelry,
93
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,391
running across the island
dropping this stuff.
94
00:04:29,226 --> 00:04:31,353
NARRATOR:
It has been well-documented
that the waters
95
00:04:31,353 --> 00:04:35,191
in and around Oak Island
were frequented by a number
96
00:04:35,191 --> 00:04:38,319
of Portuguese, Spanish
and English pirates
97
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:42,865
dating back as early
as the 16th century.
98
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:46,494
There was even one pirate--
Captain James Anderson--
99
00:04:46,494 --> 00:04:49,663
who lived on the island
after fleeing the United States
100
00:04:49,663 --> 00:04:52,709
during the American Revolution.
101
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:56,170
Was the brooch found
by Rick and Gary on Lot 21
102
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:59,841
dropped there by one of these
visiting buccaneers?
103
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:02,552
Or could it be one
of the jewels that,
104
00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:04,095
according to legend,
105
00:05:04,095 --> 00:05:06,221
was hidden on Oak Island
by the maid
106
00:05:06,221 --> 00:05:08,391
of Queen Marie Antoinette
107
00:05:08,391 --> 00:05:11,685
while she was fleeing
the bloody French Revolution?
108
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:17,358
RICK:
It's quite an
intricate design, though.
109
00:05:17,358 --> 00:05:19,901
GARY:
Yeah, a lot of work
went into this.
110
00:05:19,901 --> 00:05:22,738
In my opinion,
what you really want is
111
00:05:22,738 --> 00:05:24,574
to get a date on it.
112
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:26,701
Exactly, yeah.
Exactly.
113
00:05:26,701 --> 00:05:29,995
We've got two brooches
and two gemstones.
114
00:05:29,995 --> 00:05:33,499
Let's get this
and the other one to an expert
115
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:35,000
and see if they're
somehow related.
116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,127
That would be interesting.
117
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:38,211
Which would mean
there could be some more.
118
00:05:38,211 --> 00:05:40,130
Well, get out there and find a
whole chest full of that stuff.
119
00:05:40,130 --> 00:05:41,507
I knew you was gonna say that.
120
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:42,966
Exactly.
I'm consistent.
121
00:05:42,966 --> 00:05:45,302
(laughter)
122
00:05:45,302 --> 00:05:47,387
All right, let's get back
to the field, then, Gary.
123
00:05:47,387 --> 00:05:50,891
-MARTY: Time to search for more.
-DAN: Good luck.
124
00:05:57,523 --> 00:06:00,233
NARRATOR:
Later that same day,
125
00:06:00,233 --> 00:06:04,279
members of the Oak Island team
continue to oversee progress
126
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,117
of an operation they hope will
allow them to actually see
127
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:11,536
what lies hidden deep beneath
the island's surface.
128
00:06:12,829 --> 00:06:14,040
The process seems quite quick
129
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,958
when you have all those guys
down there.
130
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:17,668
Yeah, so we go
eight at a time here,
131
00:06:17,668 --> 00:06:20,754
-so they're gonna get going
in a couple seconds.
-Okay.
132
00:06:20,754 --> 00:06:24,509
NARRATOR:
Working with representatives
from Eagle Canada,
133
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:27,302
a geophysical exploration
company specializing in
134
00:06:27,302 --> 00:06:29,055
cutting-edge technology,
135
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:34,226
Rick, Marty and their partners
have decided to use a process
136
00:06:34,226 --> 00:06:37,730
called seismic scanning
to survey the area
137
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:41,024
known as the Money Pit.
138
00:06:41,024 --> 00:06:44,278
The place where, 223 years ago,
139
00:06:44,278 --> 00:06:47,906
teenager Daniel McGinnis
and two of his friends found
140
00:06:47,906 --> 00:06:49,951
what they believed
to be the entrance
141
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:54,413
to a mysterious
underground treasure vault.
142
00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:56,832
Using explosive charges,
143
00:06:56,832 --> 00:06:59,918
each armed with approximately
20 grams of dynamite,
144
00:06:59,918 --> 00:07:02,463
seismic scanning works
by setting off
145
00:07:02,463 --> 00:07:06,050
a series of relatively minor
explosions into the ground,
146
00:07:06,050 --> 00:07:08,386
and which, in turn,
send sound waves
147
00:07:08,386 --> 00:07:10,680
deep below the Earth's surface.
148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,100
These waves are then measured
by geophone receivers,
149
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,726
up to a depth of 300 feet.
150
00:07:16,726 --> 00:07:20,064
The measurements are then
processed in such a way
151
00:07:20,064 --> 00:07:22,524
as to create a virtual
three-dimensional map
152
00:07:22,524 --> 00:07:25,153
of the area underground.
153
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:30,740
CHARLES:
So how many have
you done already?
154
00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:33,661
We've done 225
so far this morning, so
155
00:07:33,661 --> 00:07:36,706
we're averaging
just over a hundred per hour.
156
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:38,165
-Okay.
-So we got a good tempo
right now.
157
00:07:38,165 --> 00:07:40,877
We're excited. I mean,
this is the first time
158
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:43,004
that anything like this has
ever been done on Oak Island.
159
00:07:45,505 --> 00:07:47,716
NARRATOR:
Although larger
seismic explosions
160
00:07:47,716 --> 00:07:50,136
can map areas miles
beneath the surface,
161
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:54,014
the testing being conducted on
Oak Island has been calibrated
162
00:07:54,014 --> 00:07:58,853
to create a map of an area some
150 to 200 feet below ground.
163
00:08:01,021 --> 00:08:03,608
If successful, it is the team's
hope that the map created
164
00:08:03,608 --> 00:08:06,735
will reveal not only
natural voids,
165
00:08:06,735 --> 00:08:10,156
but ones that are man-made,
such as secret tunnels,
166
00:08:10,156 --> 00:08:13,701
and possibly the location
of a legendary treasure vault.
167
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:18,331
If that data
can be as good or better
168
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:20,415
as the 2-D, uh, line test,
169
00:08:20,415 --> 00:08:22,375
we'll, uh...
we'll be in business.
170
00:08:22,375 --> 00:08:24,086
Well, I know I speak
for all the guys that
171
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:26,172
we're really looking forward
to the results here.
172
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:28,257
-Oh, yeah.
-And as Dan always said,
173
00:08:28,257 --> 00:08:30,468
you can't look underground.
So you guys
174
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:32,636
are giving us
that opportunity
175
00:08:32,636 --> 00:08:34,721
-to look underground here.
-Yeah.
176
00:08:44,481 --> 00:08:48,818
NARRATOR:
As the seismic testing
continues at the Money Pit,
177
00:08:48,818 --> 00:08:52,907
area archeologist Laird Niven
makes his way
178
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:54,115
to the Oak Island
visitors center,
179
00:08:54,115 --> 00:08:56,494
where Rick and Marty Lagina
180
00:08:56,494 --> 00:08:59,580
are eager to show him
their latest discovery.
181
00:09:02,582 --> 00:09:03,918
-Oh, here he is.
-Hello!
-Here's the man of the hour.
182
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:06,336
-Hey, Laird.
-How are you guys?
183
00:09:06,336 --> 00:09:08,129
-So, we've been busy.
-Okay.
184
00:09:08,129 --> 00:09:11,509
Lots 21 and 22
have been cleared off,
185
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:13,635
so I'm finally able to
186
00:09:13,635 --> 00:09:15,929
-swing a detector in there.
-Right.
187
00:09:15,929 --> 00:09:20,393
And we got a nice little tone,
188
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,270
and this pops out first,
doesn't it?
189
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,275
Wow.
190
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,197
It's a little pin.
191
00:09:34,197 --> 00:09:35,740
Seen anything like it?
192
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:36,993
No?
193
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:39,787
No. We don't get
a lot of jewelry.
194
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:40,913
-We don't tend to.
-You don't?
195
00:09:40,913 --> 00:09:42,956
-No.
-We would really like to know.
196
00:09:42,956 --> 00:09:45,042
If you've never seen
one of those,
197
00:09:45,042 --> 00:09:47,086
an example of that,
that's very curious.
198
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:48,461
No.
199
00:09:50,213 --> 00:09:54,134
It's perhaps significant
that Laird says
200
00:09:54,134 --> 00:09:56,636
that jewelry
is not often found.
201
00:09:56,636 --> 00:10:00,057
And he's here in Nova Scotia
in his archaeological dig,
202
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:02,643
so that means there's
something special about this.
203
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:06,062
We're finding things here
that he doesn't normally find.
204
00:10:06,062 --> 00:10:08,024
But it's pretty cool, isn't it?
205
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:10,109
-It is.
-I mean, any idea?
206
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:12,278
It is a lighter metal,
isn't it?
207
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:14,029
Yeah.
208
00:10:14,029 --> 00:10:18,533
LAIRD:
And they gilded
the receptacle here.
209
00:10:18,533 --> 00:10:21,703
NARRATOR:
Gilded? As in gold?
210
00:10:21,703 --> 00:10:24,831
Dating back over 5,000 years
211
00:10:24,831 --> 00:10:27,751
to the time of the ancient
Egyptians,
212
00:10:27,751 --> 00:10:31,713
gilding is a technique by which
thin layers of genuine gold,
213
00:10:31,713 --> 00:10:33,716
sometimes called gold leaf,
214
00:10:33,716 --> 00:10:37,635
are applied to an item,
such as an ornate picture frame
215
00:10:37,635 --> 00:10:40,306
or a piece of jewelry.
216
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:44,809
If the brooch discovered
on Lot 21 is, in fact, gold,
217
00:10:44,809 --> 00:10:47,520
it could be
the first object of jewelry
218
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,440
containing this precious metal
219
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,024
that Rick and Marty
have discovered
220
00:10:51,024 --> 00:10:55,321
in their 12 years spent looking
for treasure on Oak Island.
221
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:58,365
LAIRD:
Very interesting.
222
00:10:58,365 --> 00:11:01,034
-I would say, "Holy shmoly!"
-(laughter)
223
00:11:01,034 --> 00:11:03,453
Yeah, it's kind of
off the charts for us, you know?
224
00:11:03,453 --> 00:11:06,248
It's not...
This is completely unexpected.
225
00:11:06,248 --> 00:11:08,542
Yep. Would you recommend
more testing?
226
00:11:08,542 --> 00:11:11,294
Finding someone from
a religious artifact background
227
00:11:11,294 --> 00:11:13,422
-to look at it?
-Well, yeah,
228
00:11:13,422 --> 00:11:15,341
I don't think you can,
you can overstudy it.
229
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:18,844
Okay. What else?
230
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:20,221
We need to follow up
on the leads
231
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:22,764
regarding looking
at both brooches.
232
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,558
-Yeah.
-And I'll try and keep you
even busier.
233
00:11:25,558 --> 00:11:27,352
-Excellent.
-Excellent.
234
00:11:27,352 --> 00:11:29,230
Just, uh, just
getting warmed up.
235
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,605
All right, Laird, it's gonna
be a great summer.
236
00:11:30,605 --> 00:11:32,441
-It's gonna be a great summer.
-Yeah, I can't...
237
00:11:32,441 --> 00:11:33,775
-You know,
I'm looking forward to it.
-See you later, man.
238
00:11:33,775 --> 00:11:35,193
-Thanks for the help.
-Thanks a lot.
239
00:11:35,193 --> 00:11:37,571
-Cheers, mate.
-Cheers.
240
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,751
NARRATOR:
The next day,
241
00:11:51,751 --> 00:11:55,380
after making their exciting
discovery on Lot 21,
242
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:59,009
Rick Lagina and Gary Drayton
welcome representatives
243
00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:03,179
from Brycon Construction
and Irving Equipment, Limited.
244
00:12:03,179 --> 00:12:05,765
They have come to make
the final preparations
245
00:12:05,765 --> 00:12:08,601
for what promises
to be the most ambitious
246
00:12:08,601 --> 00:12:11,938
and technologically advanced
operation ever attempted...
247
00:12:11,938 --> 00:12:13,023
Mike, how you doing?
248
00:12:13,023 --> 00:12:14,984
...in the 223 year-long history
249
00:12:14,984 --> 00:12:17,778
of the Oak Island
treasure hunt:
250
00:12:17,778 --> 00:12:22,158
the installation of a 25-foot
deep metal cofferdam
251
00:12:22,158 --> 00:12:24,994
off the coast of Smith's Cove.
252
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:27,455
When completed,
the encircled area
253
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:29,831
will be drained
and then excavated
254
00:12:29,831 --> 00:12:32,625
in an effort to find
the elusive flood tunnels
255
00:12:32,625 --> 00:12:37,298
and, perhaps, a direct entrance
to the Oak Island Money Pit.
256
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:41,469
But before construction
of the cofferdam can begin,
257
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:44,679
a new access road and platform
must be laid out
258
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,849
to allow
for the massive equipment,
259
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:50,311
including a 300-ton crane
to be transported
260
00:12:50,311 --> 00:12:52,395
down to the beach area.
261
00:12:52,395 --> 00:12:56,900
That crane is the biggest item
that will have to be moved down.
262
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,403
And, of course,
we'll have to track out
263
00:12:59,403 --> 00:13:04,073
so we have to seriously
reconfigure the path
264
00:13:04,073 --> 00:13:07,035
from 10-X down to Smith's Cove.
265
00:13:07,035 --> 00:13:10,413
And by serious,
I mean quite serious.
266
00:13:10,413 --> 00:13:13,500
Okay, well, uh,
I think everybody knows
267
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:15,001
what we need to do.
268
00:13:15,001 --> 00:13:17,837
I think, you've all been
communicating.
269
00:13:17,837 --> 00:13:21,299
The whole idea
is to get your gear,
270
00:13:21,299 --> 00:13:24,010
Irving's gear,
down to Smith's Cove
271
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:27,431
-and get that sheet pile
and the crane pad in. Right?
-Yep.
272
00:13:27,431 --> 00:13:30,308
And then, as far as
Brycon is concerned, you know,
273
00:13:30,308 --> 00:13:32,019
you're gonna be bringing
in a lot of material.
274
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:35,438
-Yeah, we got about
175 loads coming in.
-RICK: Oh.
275
00:13:35,438 --> 00:13:37,357
And then, as far as your work,
276
00:13:37,357 --> 00:13:39,400
you're gonna be starting
from somewhere up in this area?
277
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,779
-Or where?
-We're gonna start right up...
right about that grass.
278
00:13:42,779 --> 00:13:44,572
Okay.
279
00:13:44,572 --> 00:13:47,493
So, uh, gentlemen,
welcome to Lift Lab.
280
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:49,036
Here we have with us
our engineering folks,
281
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:50,245
as well as some of the folks
282
00:13:50,245 --> 00:13:51,663
-from our pile driving
department.
-Okay.
283
00:13:51,663 --> 00:13:54,290
NARRATOR:
Two weeks ago, Rick,
284
00:13:54,290 --> 00:13:57,544
Craig Tester
and Dave Blankenship
285
00:13:57,544 --> 00:14:01,090
traveled to the headquarters
of Irving Equipment, Limited
286
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:02,924
in St. John, New Brunswick.
287
00:14:02,924 --> 00:14:06,928
There they were presented
with a 3-D hologram design
288
00:14:06,928 --> 00:14:08,681
for a massive cofferdam.
289
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,015
Look at the amount of earth
we have to deal with.
290
00:14:11,015 --> 00:14:14,562
-It's intimidating.
-Yeah, it is a big structure.
291
00:14:14,562 --> 00:14:18,941
NARRATOR:
Once completed,
a nearly 525-foot-wide,
292
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:22,778
watertight steel wall
will allow the Oak Island team
293
00:14:22,778 --> 00:14:25,489
to fully drain and excavate
Smith's Cove.
294
00:14:25,489 --> 00:14:28,325
This will make it possible
for the team to dig up
295
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:32,328
any important artifacts
or evidence of treasure.
296
00:14:32,328 --> 00:14:35,582
They also hope
to locate and shut off
297
00:14:35,582 --> 00:14:37,793
the box drain flood system
298
00:14:37,793 --> 00:14:41,297
believed to feed seawater
into the Money Pit.
299
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,923
My hope has always been
300
00:14:43,923 --> 00:14:46,302
that even though the searchers
301
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:48,511
over two and
a quarter centuries
302
00:14:48,511 --> 00:14:51,974
did highly disruptive
search agendas in Smith Cove,
303
00:14:51,974 --> 00:14:54,934
my hope is that a small section
304
00:14:54,934 --> 00:14:57,605
of the so-called box drains
yet survives.
305
00:14:57,605 --> 00:14:59,940
And I would love
to lay eyes on that.
306
00:14:59,940 --> 00:15:02,942
Once this process gets all done,
307
00:15:02,942 --> 00:15:04,611
what's your timing look like?
308
00:15:04,611 --> 00:15:09,033
Uh, we're thinking
probably a week and half.
309
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:11,784
Aside from that, I think you
guys got your marching orders
310
00:15:11,784 --> 00:15:14,120
and if there is anything
we can do, you-you let us know.
311
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,123
-Fair enough?
-Yep.
-That's no problem.
312
00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:18,625
All right, gentlemen,
good luck.
313
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:25,798
NARRATOR:
As the team from
Brycon Construction
314
00:15:25,798 --> 00:15:28,217
begins work on a new road
to Smith's Cove,
315
00:15:28,217 --> 00:15:32,221
Rick, Marty and members
of the Oak Island team
316
00:15:32,221 --> 00:15:34,350
gather at the
Mug and Anchor Pub
317
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:36,518
in the nearby town
of Mahone Bay.
318
00:15:36,518 --> 00:15:38,019
Hey, Guys.
319
00:15:38,019 --> 00:15:40,480
-Hey.
-DAVE: Hey, Marty.
320
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,399
-Started without us, huh? Again?
-Again.
321
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,234
-Well, you know,
you know how it goes.
-Yeah, I do.
322
00:15:44,234 --> 00:15:48,072
-(laughs)
-We're just talking
about my favorite subject:
323
00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:51,075
-metal detecting.
-Mm. And what'd you figure out?
324
00:15:51,075 --> 00:15:54,702
-That it's been going good.
-MARTY: Yeah.
325
00:15:54,702 --> 00:15:56,288
Can we talk about the brooch?
326
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:58,164
Yeah, that took me by surprise.
I mean...
327
00:15:58,164 --> 00:16:01,000
But those brooches
are a good sign, because
328
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,711
if you're looking
for treasure on Oak Island,
329
00:16:02,711 --> 00:16:05,673
it isn't just going to be coins.
You would imagine
330
00:16:05,673 --> 00:16:07,841
-there'd be a lot of jewelry.
-MARTY: Yeah.
331
00:16:07,841 --> 00:16:11,095
-But what it indicates
is wealth on the island.
-Yes.
332
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:15,682
As regards the brooches,
we are, uh, going to Calgary.
333
00:16:15,682 --> 00:16:18,686
We've located a gemologist,
334
00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:21,312
someone highly qualified,
has an incredible pedigree.
335
00:16:21,312 --> 00:16:25,442
And he's an expert
in the study of jewelry.
336
00:16:25,442 --> 00:16:27,985
And, uh, hopefully,
he can give us some insight,
337
00:16:27,985 --> 00:16:31,572
tell you whether or not
you're really onto something.
338
00:16:31,572 --> 00:16:33,616
Okay, so the old guys
are off to Calgary
339
00:16:33,616 --> 00:16:35,369
for some answers
and some revelations.
340
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:37,370
We're going to find out
about the brooches.
341
00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:39,581
The rest of you, carry on.
Hold down the fort.
342
00:16:39,581 --> 00:16:42,125
-To the hunt!
-Cheers.
343
00:16:50,049 --> 00:16:52,469
MARTY: Well, Dave, what do
Wh you think of Calgary, man? ?
344
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:53,636
DAVE:
It looks nice, so far,
345
00:16:53,636 --> 00:16:55,389
what I've seen of it.
346
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:58,433
NARRATOR: Having traveled some
3,000 miles west of Oak Island
347
00:16:58,433 --> 00:17:01,602
to the city of Calgary
in Alberta, Canada,
348
00:17:01,602 --> 00:17:04,355
brothers Rick and Marty Lagina,
349
00:17:04,355 --> 00:17:06,900
along with Dave Blankenship,
are heading
350
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:09,068
to the Alberta College
of Art and Design
351
00:17:09,068 --> 00:17:11,238
to have the two
gemstone brooches,
352
00:17:11,238 --> 00:17:13,906
each discovered on the western
end of the island,
353
00:17:13,906 --> 00:17:17,161
professionally examined
and compared.
354
00:17:17,161 --> 00:17:20,873
You know, I'm always on about
timing things, a timeline.
355
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:23,166
I'm hoping Charles
can render an opinion.
356
00:17:23,166 --> 00:17:26,295
My hope is that it predates
searcher activity.
357
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:28,297
MARTY:
Well, let's see what he says.
358
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:30,840
-Now, look, we all agreed it was
worth a trip, right, Dave?
-Yep.
359
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,093
We'll find out
how spendable they are.
360
00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:34,802
(laughs)
Of course.
361
00:17:34,802 --> 00:17:37,597
MARTY:
We are going to see
a preeminent gemologist.
362
00:17:37,597 --> 00:17:41,101
His name is Charles Lewton-Brain
363
00:17:41,101 --> 00:17:44,480
and we're excited to see what
he thinks these stones are.
364
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,647
Here we go.
365
00:17:46,647 --> 00:17:49,484
Composition, origin, date,
366
00:17:49,484 --> 00:17:52,237
all the things that
we're usually looking for
367
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:54,948
in Rick's information hunt
and in the treasure hunt.
368
00:17:57,284 --> 00:17:59,702
-RICK: Charles, I believe?
-MARTY: Charles?
369
00:17:59,702 --> 00:18:01,163
I'm Rick.
Nice to finally meet you.
370
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:03,248
-I'm Marty.
Nice to meet you, sir.
-Hi, Marty.
371
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:06,794
NARRATOR: Charles Lewton-Brain
is a professional artist,
372
00:18:06,794 --> 00:18:10,130
gemologist and master goldsmith
who has also been an instructor
373
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:11,882
at a number
of Canadian universities
374
00:18:11,882 --> 00:18:14,675
for more than 30 years.
375
00:18:14,675 --> 00:18:17,554
So, you know,
we've got these two items
376
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:19,222
-that we found on Oak Island.
-Right.
377
00:18:19,222 --> 00:18:20,891
And, uh, we would really like
378
00:18:20,891 --> 00:18:22,683
to see what you can
tell us about them.
379
00:18:22,683 --> 00:18:24,685
CHARLES L.:
Huh.
380
00:18:24,685 --> 00:18:27,064
NARRATOR: In preparation
for today's visit,
381
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:29,525
the two gemstones
have been carefully removed
382
00:18:29,525 --> 00:18:31,652
from their settings
so that each
383
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:33,528
can be thoroughly examined.
384
00:18:33,528 --> 00:18:36,365
CHARLES L.:
We have a large, red gem.
385
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:41,702
When it was found, anything I
should understand about context?
386
00:18:41,702 --> 00:18:46,500
As you know, it was found
on Oak Island last year.
387
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:48,710
It came out pretty much
as you see it there.
388
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:51,171
Okay, so I placed the, uh, gem
389
00:18:51,171 --> 00:18:53,382
into the video microscope.
390
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:56,175
NARRATOR:
To make a visual assessment
of the stones,
391
00:18:56,175 --> 00:19:00,430
Mr. Lewton-Brain
will use a variety of tools,
392
00:19:00,430 --> 00:19:03,349
including a digital
video microscope
393
00:19:03,349 --> 00:19:08,355
which can magnify an object up
to 220 times its original size,
394
00:19:08,355 --> 00:19:11,232
as well as make recordings
in high definition.
395
00:19:11,232 --> 00:19:13,527
CHARLES L.:
You can see the facets--
396
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:16,946
-they don't meet perfectly.
-Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
397
00:19:16,946 --> 00:19:20,409
And, so, definitely
hand-cut, not machine-cut.
398
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:23,036
And we do have
a lot of surface damage.
399
00:19:23,036 --> 00:19:26,789
I can also see
a number of scratches.
400
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:28,416
They're sharp in nature.
401
00:19:28,416 --> 00:19:31,169
They're not blurred
and rounded.
402
00:19:31,169 --> 00:19:34,548
Let's try this.
403
00:19:37,174 --> 00:19:41,888
I'm getting a refractive index
of over 1.7.
404
00:19:41,888 --> 00:19:43,723
Which means?
405
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:47,227
-Ruby is 1.74.
-Oh.
406
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:51,147
So, perhaps we should look
at the other microscope.
407
00:19:57,988 --> 00:20:00,949
And there's cracks and grooves,
408
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:04,493
but they're sharp cracks
and grooves.
409
00:20:04,493 --> 00:20:07,247
-That good or bad?
-CHARLES L.: That's good.
410
00:20:07,247 --> 00:20:09,790
Well, if you want it to be
a gemstone, it's good.
411
00:20:09,790 --> 00:20:14,587
But I would say, so far,
consistent with garnet.
412
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:17,924
It's a pretty stone.
413
00:20:17,924 --> 00:20:20,801
-Good.
-(laughs)
414
00:20:20,801 --> 00:20:23,055
-We got us a gemstone.
-Yes, you do.
415
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:25,097
NARRATOR: The confirmation
that the object
416
00:20:25,097 --> 00:20:28,101
discovered last year
on Lot Eight is, in fact,
417
00:20:28,101 --> 00:20:32,439
a semiprecious stone garnet
offers exciting news.
418
00:20:32,439 --> 00:20:35,776
It also supports a previous
professional evaluation
419
00:20:35,776 --> 00:20:40,655
that suggested the brooch could
be more than 300 years old,
420
00:20:40,655 --> 00:20:45,076
long before the discovery
of the Money Pit in 1795.
421
00:20:45,076 --> 00:20:47,996
MARTY:
Can we take a look,
then, at the other one?
422
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:49,789
This is the most recent find.
423
00:20:49,789 --> 00:20:51,791
CHARLES L.:
Right, so,
424
00:20:51,791 --> 00:20:53,876
in order to know
a bit more about it,
425
00:20:53,876 --> 00:20:57,673
what can you tell me about
the location that it was found?
426
00:20:57,673 --> 00:21:00,968
It was almost
a peat-like environment,
427
00:21:00,968 --> 00:21:04,512
uh, but not wet,
not-not soaked, certainly.
428
00:21:04,512 --> 00:21:07,307
The depths were
in the neighborhood
429
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:10,227
-of ten to 12 inches.
-Okay.
430
00:21:10,227 --> 00:21:13,521
Um, it came out pretty much
as you see it there.
431
00:21:13,521 --> 00:21:14,981
CHARLES L.:
Well, let's just see here.
432
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:19,318
MARTY:
Oh, there we go.
433
00:21:19,318 --> 00:21:21,488
CHARLES L.:
The facet junctions-- that is
434
00:21:21,488 --> 00:21:24,907
the sharp points between the
planes-- they're quite worn.
435
00:21:24,907 --> 00:21:28,619
That implies a softer material.
436
00:21:28,619 --> 00:21:30,372
There is an inclusion.
437
00:21:30,372 --> 00:21:33,500
An inclusion means something
inside the stone.
438
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:36,670
And that would be a bubble?
439
00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:39,381
Let's see if I can increase
my magnification.
440
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:42,092
Oh, yes. Oh, yeah.
441
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:47,180
The-the inclusion is made up
out of many, many tiny bubbles.
442
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:52,144
And so, I think we're pretty
sure this is glass.
443
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,980
-RICK: I see.
-MARTY:
That's maybe bad news, then.
444
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:57,106
RICK:
When Charles tells us
that he believes
445
00:21:57,106 --> 00:21:59,901
the stone in the new brooch
is glass,
446
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:02,695
you know, of course,
there's an initial, "Oh."
447
00:22:02,695 --> 00:22:04,405
You know, "that's not good."
448
00:22:04,405 --> 00:22:06,407
I wanted it to be a ruby.
449
00:22:06,407 --> 00:22:08,660
You know? We're searching
for treasure, here.
450
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:11,038
That would have been
a, you know, a precious stone.
451
00:22:11,038 --> 00:22:13,539
So yeah, initial reaction
is disappointment.
452
00:22:13,539 --> 00:22:18,127
So, definitive glass,
but also definitive hand-made.
453
00:22:18,127 --> 00:22:19,546
Not modern.
454
00:22:19,546 --> 00:22:21,298
RICK:
When you say not modern...
455
00:22:21,298 --> 00:22:26,219
Well, glass gems have been
around at least, uh, 500 years.
456
00:22:26,219 --> 00:22:28,971
Leaded glass has been used
457
00:22:28,971 --> 00:22:31,807
a long time because, um,
458
00:22:31,807 --> 00:22:34,060
the light passes
through it well.
459
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:36,438
And, again,
that's why chandeliers
460
00:22:36,438 --> 00:22:39,900
-are-are made
out of leaded glass.
-What about the red color?
461
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,109
-Is there anything
to make from that?
-AXEL: Well, uh,
462
00:22:42,109 --> 00:22:44,988
in the color red, the formulas
for making red glass
463
00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:49,034
have been lost and found,
and lost and found again,
464
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:51,077
-several times through history.
-MARTY: Lost, how?
465
00:22:51,077 --> 00:22:53,163
How would you lose such a thing?
466
00:22:53,163 --> 00:22:56,791
Uh, well, glass people
were extremely secretive.
467
00:22:56,791 --> 00:23:00,336
Each family
that was working glass
468
00:23:00,336 --> 00:23:04,257
would have their own little book
of recipes, sometimes in code.
469
00:23:05,842 --> 00:23:07,719
NARRATOR:
Secret recipes...
470
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:09,096
written in code?
471
00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:11,515
Over the years,
many researchers
472
00:23:11,515 --> 00:23:13,432
and historians have theorized
473
00:23:13,432 --> 00:23:16,019
that the people
behind the Oak Island mystery
474
00:23:16,019 --> 00:23:19,355
were likely members
of an elite secret society.
475
00:23:19,355 --> 00:23:22,526
Among the most prominent
of these organizations
476
00:23:22,526 --> 00:23:24,152
is the Rosicrucians,
477
00:23:24,152 --> 00:23:27,029
a group of 16th century
European intellectuals
478
00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:30,826
who are believed to have been
led by Sir Francis Bacon,
479
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:33,828
and whose symbol was a blood
red, or "rosy cross,"
480
00:23:33,828 --> 00:23:38,040
hence, the name Rosicrucians.
481
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,169
Could the blood-red stones
that were found on Oak Island
482
00:23:41,169 --> 00:23:44,506
be linked in some way
to this secret organization,
483
00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:47,299
or perhaps
to the Knights Templar,
484
00:23:47,299 --> 00:23:51,137
a medieval order of warrior
monks who wore red crosses,
485
00:23:51,137 --> 00:23:55,267
and whose traditions
and rituals were later adopted
486
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:57,769
by the secretive fraternity
of master builders
487
00:23:57,769 --> 00:24:00,396
known as the Freemasons.
488
00:24:00,396 --> 00:24:03,650
Secret societies
keep their secrets well.
489
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:05,818
That's why they're
secret societies.
490
00:24:05,818 --> 00:24:08,154
Might there be a connection
or an importance
491
00:24:08,154 --> 00:24:11,074
in their initiation rites
or in their emblems
492
00:24:11,074 --> 00:24:15,077
or in their symbology, they
used the color red extensively?
493
00:24:15,077 --> 00:24:17,038
Certainly, there is
a possible connection.
494
00:24:17,038 --> 00:24:20,291
-All right, so, perhaps we
should look at the other part...
-Okay.
495
00:24:20,291 --> 00:24:22,794
Let's look-let's look
at the setting itself.
496
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:25,505
-If we can impose on you longer.
-Oh, yeah.
497
00:24:27,339 --> 00:24:29,092
Okay, it's a brooch.
498
00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:32,052
Might as well
try our digital camera.
499
00:24:32,052 --> 00:24:36,974
The part I'm really interested
in is the cord.
500
00:24:36,974 --> 00:24:40,228
That is, the wire
that surrounds the bezel,
501
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:43,105
the bezel is what holds
the stone in.
502
00:24:43,105 --> 00:24:46,358
And so, if you look
at this cord, or wire,
503
00:24:46,358 --> 00:24:50,363
you can see that there's
a spiral nature to it.
504
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:53,616
And you can see that there are
these diagonal lines on here.
505
00:24:53,616 --> 00:24:56,036
-Here.
-This is not
506
00:24:56,036 --> 00:25:00,414
your ordinary, old brooch
found in the ground.
507
00:25:00,414 --> 00:25:02,291
That is a super ancient way
of making wire.
508
00:25:07,422 --> 00:25:09,590
CHARLES L.:
If you look at this wire,
509
00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:13,510
-you can see that there's
a spiral nature to it.
-Yes.
510
00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:15,512
CHARLES L.:
It's called block twisting,
511
00:25:15,512 --> 00:25:18,224
and this is the sign
of ancient jewelry.
512
00:25:18,224 --> 00:25:20,101
Interesting.
513
00:25:20,101 --> 00:25:24,980
NARRATOR:
Dating back to as early
as the 22nd century B.C.,
514
00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:26,942
in the period known
as the Bronze Age,
515
00:25:26,942 --> 00:25:30,278
the ancient technique
known as block twisting
516
00:25:30,278 --> 00:25:33,280
was common in the production
of the gold wire
517
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,241
used in making jewelry.
518
00:25:35,241 --> 00:25:38,118
It was accomplished
by hammering a metal ingot
519
00:25:38,118 --> 00:25:40,247
into a thin rod and twisting it
520
00:25:40,247 --> 00:25:42,707
to form
a tight braid-like wire.
521
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,669
The metal thread would then
be rolled between two pieces
522
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:49,548
of hard wood to create
a uniform diameter.
523
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,967
So the fact that
it's what appears
524
00:25:51,967 --> 00:25:54,594
to be a block-twisted wire--
525
00:25:54,594 --> 00:25:56,805
this implies age.
526
00:25:56,805 --> 00:25:59,015
Mainly because of that wire.
527
00:25:59,015 --> 00:26:03,560
Mainly because of that wire.
That wire is highly unusual.
528
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,938
How old?
I mean...
529
00:26:04,938 --> 00:26:07,816
1340s drawplates,
so prior to then,
530
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:11,027
the only wires we've got are
made in some manner like this.
531
00:26:11,027 --> 00:26:13,363
-Potentially older than 1330?
-Older?
532
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:14,446
Yep.
533
00:26:16,282 --> 00:26:18,117
NARRATOR:
If Charles Lewton-Brain's
assessment
534
00:26:18,117 --> 00:26:21,663
is correct, the brooch
is the team's first artifact
535
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:23,707
that has been authenticated
as being made
536
00:26:23,707 --> 00:26:28,377
as early as the 14th century,
or even earlier.
537
00:26:28,377 --> 00:26:31,213
This would make it
some 300 years older
538
00:26:31,213 --> 00:26:34,217
than the 17th century
English and Spanish coins
539
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:38,887
that have been found on Oak
Island over the past six years.
540
00:26:38,887 --> 00:26:41,891
I have been completely
unwilling to believe
541
00:26:41,891 --> 00:26:45,686
that what happened on Oak Island
happened pre-1400s.
542
00:26:45,686 --> 00:26:48,856
Completely unwilling to believe
it. And now you got this.
543
00:26:48,856 --> 00:26:51,483
It looks like
this could be a brooch
544
00:26:51,483 --> 00:26:53,819
from the 1300s or before,
545
00:26:53,819 --> 00:26:55,404
so with a bit
of a question mark,
546
00:26:55,404 --> 00:26:57,699
and with a bit of uncertainty,
yeah, it opens up
547
00:26:57,699 --> 00:26:59,992
all kinds of avenues,
and changes, potentially,
548
00:26:59,992 --> 00:27:03,038
my thinking about
what happened here.
549
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:04,663
What about the overall design?
550
00:27:04,663 --> 00:27:06,124
Does that give you
any clues at all?
551
00:27:06,124 --> 00:27:09,085
Nothing specific,
552
00:27:09,085 --> 00:27:12,505
beyond the use of spirals,
which many cultures have done.
553
00:27:12,505 --> 00:27:15,842
It places it
as kind of crude work.
554
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:19,596
Um, countryside work, perhaps.
555
00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:21,597
I would say European, for sure.
556
00:27:21,597 --> 00:27:24,058
RICK:
So, would there be
databases for that,
557
00:27:24,058 --> 00:27:26,478
a way to proceed
with further testing?
558
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:29,439
The British Gemological Society
in London.
559
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:33,692
Um, uh, they might
have some databases.
560
00:27:33,692 --> 00:27:35,694
-The data's out there somewhere.
-It is.
561
00:27:35,694 --> 00:27:39,199
Well, thank you for bringing it.
It's been, um, a treat.
562
00:27:39,199 --> 00:27:40,657
It's been interesting
for us, too.
563
00:27:40,657 --> 00:27:43,869
Extremely. Well, listen,
thank you very much.
564
00:27:43,869 --> 00:27:45,372
-Absolute, absolute pleasure.
-Thank you very much.
565
00:27:45,372 --> 00:27:47,123
Absolute pleasure.
566
00:27:47,123 --> 00:27:49,166
On to the next task.
567
00:27:56,590 --> 00:27:57,717
I think this was perfect.
568
00:27:57,717 --> 00:27:59,134
NARRATOR:
The next day,
569
00:27:59,134 --> 00:28:01,554
as Rick Lagina
supervises the building
570
00:28:01,554 --> 00:28:04,098
of the new road leading
to Smith's Cove...
571
00:28:04,098 --> 00:28:08,060
I'm gonna predict
that it is pre-1840.
572
00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:10,563
...Marty Lagina joins
his son Alex
573
00:28:10,563 --> 00:28:14,150
and his friend and business
partner Craig Tester
574
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:16,568
as they travel
some 50 miles northeast
575
00:28:16,568 --> 00:28:19,239
to St. Mary's University
in the city of Halifax.
576
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:20,615
Thanks, Craig.
577
00:28:20,615 --> 00:28:22,450
NARRATOR:
They are eager to find out
578
00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:25,787
if the antique brooch
that was discovered on Lot 21
579
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:30,165
is, in fact,
partially made of gold.
580
00:28:30,165 --> 00:28:32,251
Dr. Brosseau.
581
00:28:32,251 --> 00:28:33,545
Nice to see you, Christa.
582
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:35,212
Welcome down
to the microscope lab.
583
00:28:35,212 --> 00:28:36,839
-Hello.
-Xiang, good to see you.
584
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:38,924
-Good seeing you.
-Hi, how are you?
-Good.
585
00:28:38,924 --> 00:28:41,094
We have something here
I think you are gonna find
586
00:28:41,094 --> 00:28:42,679
quite interesting, actually.
587
00:28:42,679 --> 00:28:44,596
Piece of jewelry of some sort.
588
00:28:44,596 --> 00:28:47,808
NARRATOR:
Dr. Christa Brosseau
is an associate professor
589
00:28:47,808 --> 00:28:51,813
of chemistry, with expertise in
the field of electrochemistry
590
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:53,440
as well as the study of metals
591
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,525
and their chemical
compositions.
592
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:59,695
Today, she is joined by
her colleague, Dr. Xiang Yang.
593
00:28:59,695 --> 00:29:01,780
CHRISTA:
Very nice.
594
00:29:01,780 --> 00:29:03,199
-MARTY: Pretty, isn't it?
-CHRISTA: Yeah.
595
00:29:03,199 --> 00:29:04,951
MARTY:
The brooch was found this year,
596
00:29:04,951 --> 00:29:08,163
and we've had it looked at
by a gemologist already,
597
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:10,789
and it did appear
that there were places
598
00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:13,625
-that had gold.
-Okay. Where did you guys
find this?
599
00:29:13,625 --> 00:29:15,836
MARTY:
Kind of the western end
of the island.
600
00:29:15,836 --> 00:29:17,297
CHRISTA:
It's in really good condition.
601
00:29:17,297 --> 00:29:19,798
Have a look, and we'll see
what your machine says.
602
00:29:19,798 --> 00:29:23,595
NARRATOR:
Using a high-powered
scanning electron microscope,
603
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:27,390
Doctors Brosseau and Yang will
be able to magnify the brooch
604
00:29:27,390 --> 00:29:31,144
up to tens of thousands
of times its actual size.
605
00:29:31,144 --> 00:29:33,605
They also will be able
to examine
606
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:35,315
its chemical composition
607
00:29:35,315 --> 00:29:37,733
and determine whether
it's made of gold
608
00:29:37,733 --> 00:29:40,487
or any other precious metals.
609
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:42,113
CRAIG:
Now, is there any manganese
610
00:29:42,113 --> 00:29:44,156
in what you're seeing there?
611
00:29:44,156 --> 00:29:46,159
CHRISTA:
No, that's just copper,
612
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:49,244
zinc, typical brass.
613
00:29:51,122 --> 00:29:54,709
It's good to check,
because brass
614
00:29:54,709 --> 00:29:56,711
can often imitate gold
very well, right?
615
00:29:56,711 --> 00:29:58,880
Mm-hmm.
616
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,173
-MARTY:
What are the lighter spots?
-Yeah, what I'm looking at--
617
00:30:01,173 --> 00:30:02,634
what are we seeing
that's bright?
618
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:05,053
Is that
the potential gold, or...
619
00:30:05,053 --> 00:30:06,386
You know, right
in the very center.
620
00:30:06,386 --> 00:30:09,057
CHRISTA:
It could be.
621
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:11,099
This is right under
where the stone was.
622
00:30:11,099 --> 00:30:13,102
This is the brightest... To the
naked eye, this is, by far,
623
00:30:13,102 --> 00:30:15,104
the brightest.
624
00:30:15,104 --> 00:30:16,980
Okay, well why don't we do
a composition
625
00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:19,526
on that brightest spot,
right underneath?
626
00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:21,152
-'Cause that's...
-Okay, I think we can do that.
627
00:30:24,404 --> 00:30:26,865
CHRISTA:
We'll be able
to tell in a minute.
628
00:30:26,865 --> 00:30:27,866
Okay.
629
00:30:36,625 --> 00:30:38,711
Should be good.
630
00:30:41,130 --> 00:30:45,093
So, the dark area here
is pure copper.
631
00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:47,052
That's interesting.
632
00:30:47,052 --> 00:30:50,097
But...
633
00:30:50,097 --> 00:30:51,682
-The bright area...
-Yeah?
634
00:30:51,682 --> 00:30:53,893
Gold.
635
00:30:53,893 --> 00:30:56,729
Well, how about that?
Gary can go do his gold dance.
636
00:30:56,729 --> 00:30:58,397
-He found some gold.
-You got gold.
637
00:30:58,397 --> 00:31:00,983
-You definitely
struck gold. Yep.
-(laughing)
638
00:31:00,983 --> 00:31:03,236
We struck gold.
639
00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:10,242
MARTY:
Yeah, I guess I'd have to say
that's the first piece
640
00:31:10,242 --> 00:31:12,578
of verified gold
found on the island.
641
00:31:12,578 --> 00:31:14,079
ALEX:
That's a first for us, right?
642
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:15,707
It's a first for us, for sure.
643
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:18,917
I think this would be
considered actual treasure.
644
00:31:18,917 --> 00:31:20,877
-Yeah.
-ALEX: All right.
-CRAIG: Yeah.
645
00:31:20,877 --> 00:31:23,213
Well, here's the deal:
we found treasure on Oak Island.
646
00:31:23,213 --> 00:31:24,673
Yeah. We did.
647
00:31:24,673 --> 00:31:26,550
-(whoops)
-We've been in it... (whoops)
648
00:31:26,550 --> 00:31:29,178
Woot, woot. And we've proven it
right here, in this lab today.
649
00:31:29,178 --> 00:31:31,888
-Excellent.
-So that's pretty cool.
650
00:31:31,888 --> 00:31:33,807
-Not bad.
-I mean, yeah.
651
00:31:33,807 --> 00:31:36,352
-That's a pretty good day.
-(chuckles)
652
00:31:36,352 --> 00:31:38,145
MARTY:
The brooch that was
found this year
653
00:31:38,145 --> 00:31:40,147
is motivating and exciting,
654
00:31:40,147 --> 00:31:41,982
'cause it's a real piece
of treasure.
655
00:31:41,982 --> 00:31:43,401
You just can't deny that.
656
00:31:43,401 --> 00:31:45,193
It's a piece of treasure,
657
00:31:45,193 --> 00:31:47,697
in the elaborate setting
found on Oak Island.
658
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:49,531
This is just
the tip of the iceberg.
659
00:31:49,531 --> 00:31:51,992
There is more
that awaits us this year.
660
00:31:51,992 --> 00:31:55,163
-Now we need to bring in
the mother lode.
-Yeah.
661
00:31:55,163 --> 00:31:56,788
-Thank you very much, as always.
-Oh, you're welcome.
662
00:31:56,788 --> 00:31:58,708
-Xiang, a pleasure.
-Congratulations.
663
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:00,626
I'm gonna pick up all kinds of
things to put in that machine.
664
00:32:00,626 --> 00:32:02,628
-Thanks.
-CHRISTA: Thanks, guys.
665
00:32:09,551 --> 00:32:12,846
NARRATOR: Returning to the
island later that afternoon,
666
00:32:12,846 --> 00:32:16,058
Marty Lagina calls a meeting
in the war room.
667
00:32:16,058 --> 00:32:18,603
He is eager to share
the exciting news
668
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:21,480
with his brother Rick
and members of their team.
669
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,942
Guys, I am freshly back
from St. Mary's University.
670
00:32:25,942 --> 00:32:27,903
Craig and Alex and I
went up there,
671
00:32:27,903 --> 00:32:30,530
and I-I shouldn't be excited
about this, really,
672
00:32:30,530 --> 00:32:33,576
in a sense, but I am,
because, David...
673
00:32:35,452 --> 00:32:38,413
...this little gem
has gold on it.
674
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:41,250
(chuckles)
675
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,544
We have found our first gold
on Oak Island.
676
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:45,672
DAVID:
I want more gold than that.
677
00:32:46,713 --> 00:32:48,548
Well, come on, man.
678
00:32:48,548 --> 00:32:50,425
-(laughter)
-Small victories, right?
679
00:32:50,425 --> 00:32:51,719
Yeah.
680
00:32:51,719 --> 00:32:53,096
MARTY:
You know, when, uh, Dr. Brosseau
681
00:32:53,096 --> 00:32:55,722
put the scanning electron
microscope on it
682
00:32:55,722 --> 00:32:59,059
and it came up "Au,"
you know, gold.
683
00:32:59,059 --> 00:33:00,603
I-I think that's pretty cool.
684
00:33:00,603 --> 00:33:03,980
NARRATOR:
For Rick, Marty and their team,
685
00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:07,317
the discovery of an actual
piece of golden treasure
686
00:33:07,317 --> 00:33:11,239
is a momentous development
in the 223-year history
687
00:33:11,239 --> 00:33:13,449
of the Oak Island
treasure hunt.
688
00:33:13,449 --> 00:33:17,452
It is also a major step forward
in their quest to prove
689
00:33:17,452 --> 00:33:19,497
that something
of even greater value
690
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:23,041
may have been buried here
centuries ago.
691
00:33:23,041 --> 00:33:26,753
We had a gemologist look
at this in Calgary, too,
692
00:33:26,753 --> 00:33:30,799
and he thought
that there's one little style
693
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:32,926
that's called block twist,
694
00:33:32,926 --> 00:33:34,761
which is the braided
around the gem.
695
00:33:34,761 --> 00:33:36,931
And he said
that went out of fashion
696
00:33:36,931 --> 00:33:41,394
as a method of doing things
in the 14th century.
697
00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:43,730
-Really?
-Yeah. So we keep getting
698
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:45,940
some really odd potential dates.
699
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:49,359
Now, this is not
a super quality gem piece,
700
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:51,487
in that it's gold-plated,
701
00:33:51,487 --> 00:33:55,240
but it's gold,
and it could be very old.
702
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,242
Yeah, absolutely.
703
00:33:57,242 --> 00:33:59,327
Yeah, but it occurs to me
that "old" and "gold"
704
00:33:59,327 --> 00:34:02,582
are two good words to use
if you're on Oak Island.
705
00:34:02,582 --> 00:34:05,250
Yeah, exactly.
706
00:34:05,250 --> 00:34:07,002
So we have this brooch,
707
00:34:07,002 --> 00:34:10,422
which could be a lot older
than we ever thought.
708
00:34:10,422 --> 00:34:14,927
We have the lead cross
not mined in North America.
709
00:34:14,927 --> 00:34:17,679
So these artifacts are pushing
us back farther in time
710
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:20,099
than I ever thought
we would see here.
711
00:34:20,099 --> 00:34:21,851
Well, you know, Rick, I never
thought we'd be finding stuff
712
00:34:21,851 --> 00:34:23,894
from the 12 or 1300s.
713
00:34:23,894 --> 00:34:26,521
I can't say that I ever thought
that, as well, David,
714
00:34:26,521 --> 00:34:29,108
but we're finding answers.
715
00:34:29,108 --> 00:34:31,902
-Way back.
-Way back.
716
00:34:31,902 --> 00:34:34,864
NARRATOR:
Could both the gold-plated
brooch and the one
717
00:34:34,864 --> 00:34:38,784
containing the hand-cut garnet
be somehow connected?
718
00:34:38,784 --> 00:34:41,579
If so, could they have been
brought to the island
719
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:44,456
by pirates sometime
in the 18th century,
720
00:34:44,456 --> 00:34:47,501
or possibly much earlier?
721
00:34:47,501 --> 00:34:51,630
As far as Rick, Marty and their
partners are concerned,
722
00:34:51,630 --> 00:34:54,382
as close as they are
to getting answers,
723
00:34:54,382 --> 00:34:57,552
the 223-year-old
Oak Island treasure hunt
724
00:34:57,552 --> 00:35:00,639
has only just begun.
725
00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:02,849
So, guys,
you're all up to speed,
726
00:35:02,849 --> 00:35:06,144
you all have all the data, we've
discussed where this might lead.
727
00:35:06,144 --> 00:35:08,396
I think we should get
back to actual work.
728
00:35:08,396 --> 00:35:11,317
Let's go.
729
00:35:11,317 --> 00:35:14,695
NARRATOR:
Before another long day
730
00:35:14,695 --> 00:35:18,657
of both questions and answers
ends on Oak Island,
731
00:35:18,657 --> 00:35:21,661
Rick Lagina and Dan Henskee
732
00:35:21,661 --> 00:35:24,121
head over to the Money Pit area
733
00:35:24,121 --> 00:35:27,541
to check on
the seismic team's progress.
734
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:29,126
-ALEX G.: Hey, guys.
-Hey.
735
00:35:29,126 --> 00:35:31,086
-It's a wrap.
-Really?
736
00:35:31,086 --> 00:35:32,838
-Absolutely.
-It's a wrap?
737
00:35:32,838 --> 00:35:34,673
Is that the celebratory, uh...
738
00:35:34,673 --> 00:35:36,842
-That was the last one.
-That was the last one?
739
00:35:36,842 --> 00:35:38,885
-It's officially in the books.
-Where's-where's my last one?
740
00:35:38,885 --> 00:35:41,681
-There you go. Yeah.
-I'll take it, I'll take it.
741
00:35:41,681 --> 00:35:42,931
-Program souvenir.
-That's fantastic, guys.
742
00:35:42,931 --> 00:35:45,601
You know, look,
we really appreciate it.
743
00:35:45,601 --> 00:35:50,731
I-I can't speak highly enough
about your team, yourselves.
744
00:35:50,731 --> 00:35:53,150
But here's the key:
745
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:56,027
when are we going to Calgary?
When are we gonna see the data?
746
00:35:56,027 --> 00:35:57,737
Well, we got a push on it.
747
00:35:57,737 --> 00:35:59,364
We're really hoping
for a couple weeks.
748
00:35:59,364 --> 00:36:01,367
NARRATOR:
The news that the seismic team
749
00:36:01,367 --> 00:36:03,202
has finished
collecting their data
750
00:36:03,202 --> 00:36:05,621
represents
an important milestone
751
00:36:05,621 --> 00:36:08,416
for Rick Lagina
and the Oak Island team.
752
00:36:08,416 --> 00:36:11,878
Once processed, the information
collected should produce
753
00:36:11,878 --> 00:36:14,297
a comprehensive,
three-dimensional map
754
00:36:14,297 --> 00:36:18,300
of the area, some 200 feet
below the surface.
755
00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:22,137
It should also reveal the
presence of possible tunnels
756
00:36:22,137 --> 00:36:24,389
and underground structures,
757
00:36:24,389 --> 00:36:28,603
potential hiding places
for a legendary treasure.
758
00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:31,606
I can't say thank you enough.
759
00:36:31,606 --> 00:36:34,608
My hope is that, you know,
when we do come to Calgary,
760
00:36:34,608 --> 00:36:37,737
you guys are gonna be able
to put a map down in front of us
761
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:39,487
and say,
"Okay, here's your target.
762
00:36:39,487 --> 00:36:41,199
Here's what this is,
Here's what that is."
763
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,076
I certainly think you, uh,
got some more believers here
764
00:36:44,076 --> 00:36:45,744
on the island
with our time here,
765
00:36:45,744 --> 00:36:48,581
and, uh, we can
give you guys some answers.
766
00:36:48,581 --> 00:36:51,791
Be careful about your wish that
you'll give us all the answers,
767
00:36:51,791 --> 00:36:53,753
'cause we won't want you back
with your geophones,
768
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:55,795
we'll want you back
with shovels.
769
00:36:55,795 --> 00:36:57,840
(laughing)
770
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,425
We can do that as well.
771
00:36:59,425 --> 00:37:01,135
All righty.
That'd be great, guys.
772
00:37:01,135 --> 00:37:02,719
Thank you very much.
773
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,429
Let's go, Dan.
774
00:37:04,429 --> 00:37:13,146
DAN H.:
Yep.
775
00:37:13,146 --> 00:37:16,358
NARRATOR:
With the new road
to the beach completed,
776
00:37:16,358 --> 00:37:19,987
brothers Rick and Marty Lagina
are finally ready
777
00:37:19,987 --> 00:37:23,282
to break ground on this
summer's most ambitious
778
00:37:23,282 --> 00:37:26,117
and most eagerly
anticipated project...
779
00:37:27,994 --> 00:37:30,623
...the excavation
of Smith's Cove.
780
00:37:30,623 --> 00:37:35,001
Today the team
from Irving Equipment, Limited
781
00:37:35,001 --> 00:37:38,463
has begun delivering the heavy
machines and equipment
782
00:37:38,463 --> 00:37:40,298
that will be needed
in order to construct
783
00:37:40,298 --> 00:37:41,592
a massive steel cofferdam.
784
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:44,094
(horn honking)
785
00:37:44,094 --> 00:37:46,514
They're here.
786
00:37:46,514 --> 00:37:48,139
Here we go.
787
00:37:52,268 --> 00:37:53,813
-Pretty remarkable,
isn't it, David?
-Yep.
788
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:55,815
NARRATOR:
Over the next few days,
789
00:37:55,815 --> 00:37:58,858
the team will assemble
a 300-ton crane
790
00:37:58,858 --> 00:38:01,862
at the Money Pit area,
before it can be staged
791
00:38:01,862 --> 00:38:03,405
on the nearby beach,
792
00:38:03,405 --> 00:38:07,159
where some 2,200 tons of earth
have been moved
793
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:10,996
to build a perfectly flat
work surface.
794
00:38:10,996 --> 00:38:15,001
And in a couple days,
that'll be put together.
795
00:38:15,001 --> 00:38:16,876
-Yep.
-And roughly two,
three weeks from now,
796
00:38:16,876 --> 00:38:18,878
we'll be down at target depth.
797
00:38:18,878 --> 00:38:21,673
-It's cool.
-Just think how long
it took your father.
798
00:38:21,673 --> 00:38:24,260
-We didn't have
the technology, then.
-Exactly.
799
00:38:24,260 --> 00:38:26,929
NARRATOR:
Once the crane is in place,
800
00:38:26,929 --> 00:38:28,931
construction can finally begin
801
00:38:28,931 --> 00:38:33,268
on the nearly 525-foot-long
watertight barrier.
802
00:38:33,268 --> 00:38:36,938
When it is completed, the ocean
water will be drained out,
803
00:38:36,938 --> 00:38:41,402
and then the entire area,
nearly 12,000 square-feet,
804
00:38:41,402 --> 00:38:43,528
will be excavated.
805
00:38:43,528 --> 00:38:46,699
This will allow the team
to uncover not only
806
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:49,952
important artifacts such as
the mysterious lead cross
807
00:38:49,952 --> 00:38:53,039
discovered at Smith's Cove
last year,
808
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:57,293
but also possible evidence of
an ancient flood tunnel system.
809
00:38:57,293 --> 00:38:59,378
RICK:
Because of the find
of the cross,
810
00:38:59,378 --> 00:39:02,380
we have to do
a very disciplined,
811
00:39:02,380 --> 00:39:05,467
archaeologically-driven dig,
812
00:39:05,467 --> 00:39:09,512
in order to see if there are
other similar artifacts.
813
00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:14,768
We've always thought that
there may be a treasure trove
814
00:39:14,768 --> 00:39:18,230
of information at Smith's Cove.
815
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:21,317
At the end of this exercise,
we're going to know more about
816
00:39:21,317 --> 00:39:23,860
Smith's Cove than has
ever been known before.
817
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:25,737
MARTY:
It's a big operation.
818
00:39:25,737 --> 00:39:27,572
It's scary, in a sense,
it's daunting.
819
00:39:27,572 --> 00:39:29,324
And it's exciting.
820
00:39:29,324 --> 00:39:31,284
There's a story here.
821
00:39:31,284 --> 00:39:34,079
-Yep.
-And it's constantly
un-unraveling.
822
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:37,248
-Yep.
-For me, the quest is really
823
00:39:37,248 --> 00:39:39,418
to find out what happened here,
long ago.
824
00:39:39,418 --> 00:39:42,630
And I hope that
there's answers down there.
825
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:44,923
I do, too.
826
00:39:44,923 --> 00:39:47,510
NARRATOR:
After a week that
saw the discovery
827
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,887
of an actual piece
of gold jewelry
828
00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:53,224
thought to be
nearly 700 years old,
829
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:56,518
the Laginas and their partners
are more confident than ever
830
00:39:56,518 --> 00:39:58,436
that their decades of dreaming
831
00:39:58,436 --> 00:40:02,108
and years of searching
are finally paying off.
832
00:40:02,108 --> 00:40:05,360
But as they become
the first in a long line
833
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,362
of Oak Island treasure hunters
834
00:40:07,362 --> 00:40:11,242
to actually look beneath the
surface, what will they find?
835
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:14,994
Evidence of a vast network
of booby-trapped flood tunnels?
836
00:40:14,994 --> 00:40:17,123
An enormous, underground vault
837
00:40:17,123 --> 00:40:20,166
filled with pirate riches
or Templar gold?
838
00:40:20,166 --> 00:40:24,922
Or could they discover
secrets so sacred
839
00:40:24,922 --> 00:40:26,715
and so forbidden
840
00:40:26,715 --> 00:40:28,717
that they have been
fiercely guarded
841
00:40:28,717 --> 00:40:33,139
against any who might
dare to reveal them?
842
00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:38,978
Next Time
on The Curse of Oak Island...
843
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:41,646
MARTY:
We're going to get a look
at the seismic results.
844
00:40:41,646 --> 00:40:43,940
This is definitely
the largest anomaly.
845
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:46,152
It is a confident structure,
whatever it is.
846
00:40:46,152 --> 00:40:48,237
Is that consistent
with a chamber?
847
00:40:48,237 --> 00:40:50,155
Yeah. It is.
848
00:40:50,155 --> 00:40:52,657
MARTY: Now we have a target, so
we need to drill it right away,
849
00:40:52,657 --> 00:40:54,326
find out what it is.
850
00:40:54,326 --> 00:40:57,746
TERRY: Wow, look at that.
This is a lot of wood here.
851
00:40:57,746 --> 00:40:58,998
MARTY:
Maybe it is the old Money Pit.
852
00:40:58,998 --> 00:41:01,000
GARY:
Look at this! This is old.
853
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,295
we're talking, like,
Templar old.
854
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:07,422
