Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...

Hey! Check this out.

- Wow.
- That's big.

Oh, very cool.

-Oh, my gosh!
- Yeah!

-This is strange.
-Do you think

that somebody carved that
into the wood?

That's not natural.

Wow.

Oh, look at that!

Well, that's pretty cool.

Pretty bloody cool.

- This is real good.
-Absolutely.

We got some radiocarbon dates.

1725 to 1764.

- That's pre-searcher.
- Yeah.
- Wowza.

where people
have been looking for

an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.

So far, they have found
a stone slab

with strange symbols
carved into it,

man-made workings
that date to medieval times,

and a lead cross
whose origin may be connected

to the Knights Templar.

To date, six men have died

trying to solve the mystery.

And according to legend,
one more will have to die

before the treasure
can be found.

We got more wood.

on Oak Island for brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina

and their team...

So, they're taking out
the north corner of Shaft Six.

That's probably the beams
we're seeing.

of a 19th-century searcher shaft

in the fabled Money Pit area,

they have compelling reasons

to believe that it will lead
to the answers

of a 230-year-old mystery.

So, at the bottom of this hole,
we should catch

part of the tunnel going
from Shaft Six to the Money Pit.

So we should see a lot of wood.

That would be the hope,
but we're looking

for the... something that was
in the tunnel or in the shaft.

-Yeah.
- Yeah.
- One coin,

two coins, 100 coins.

Even part of an authentic chest.

- Anything.
- Yeah.

members of
the Oak Island Association

reportedly drilled through
two stacked treasure chests

at a depth of nearly 110 feet
in the original Money Pit.

Believing that a man-made flood tunnel

would stop them
from reaching the chests,

they dug an adjacent shaft
18 feet to the west--

known as Shaft Six--

down to a depth of 118 feet.

From there, they began tunneling
toward the Money Pit,

hoping to recover the treasure

from safely below
the deadly booby trap.

The colossal effort failed.

Just before reaching
their target,

seawater rushed in.

The disaster

not only forced the searchers
to abandon Shaft Six

but caused tons of lumber

and the believed chests
in the Money Pit to collapse,

leaving a debris field

and the valuables
entombed inside of the tunnel.

All that old wood's

still coming up.

while excavating
a seven-foot-diameter shaft

known as RP-1,

the team unearthed evidence
of the Shaft Six tunnel:

iron straps potentially related
to wooden containers,

and a pipe stem that was dated

to as early
as the late 17th century,

more than 100 years prior to
the discovery of the Money Pit.

Now the team is digging
a second shaft, dubbed RP-2,

just northeast of RP-1

in the hopes that, this time,

they will recover the contents

of the two legendary
treasure chests.

Rick has always felt
like Shaft Six is

where the treasure might be.

In RP-2, we're about to get

into the tunnel that led
from Shaft Six to the Money Pit

when it collapsed.

So, this could be it.

I've got an hit here, mate.

Let me see if I can pinpoint it.

Oh, it's right there.

Look at that.

It's...
What would you say that is?

A bit of strap?

Same stuff as we found
the other day.

It's made of iron.

It was an iron hit.

Yeah, we'll see if these compare
to those other pieces we found.

All right, mate. We'll take this
back to the table.

- Yeah.
-This is
an old iron strap.

And back in the day,
boxes and chests

would have had iron straps
wrapped around 'em.

We're talking
possibly treasure chest.

That's a really cool timber
right there.

- I'm gonna go grab it.
- Yeah.

And I-I think I would expect it

to be a little bit denser.

- Oh, my God.
- Rick, what do you think
of that?

Yeah, wow.

That's a nice big piece.

That'd be a corner piece,
you would think.

We probably are tagging

the bottom of the shaft now.

Everything I see shows
that a structure collapsed

in close proximity to Shaft Six.

And that if there was
a treasure associated with it,

we're close.

We are somewhere
in the vicinity of it.

At this point,
we have to be a bit patient.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

All right, we're about ready
to stack another can.

The dig's at 87 feet.

And we're still above
the horizon of interest?

118 feet.

We could find a lot of artifacts

when we get there
or even treasure.

That's what we're here for.

Absolutely.

The Money Pit is
treasure central.

- stacking this can
and get to that target zone.
-Okey doke.

monitor the excavation of RP-2
in the Money Pit area...

If it does tie to the stone
road, the stone path,

it had to be
something significant.

...Craig Tester, Jack Begley,

and other members of the team
are investigating

a mysterious man-made feature

in the northern region
of the Oak Island swamp.

I don't really see
this construction in the swamp

as being anything
besides depositor work.

And there could be more
artifacts just right over here.

Okay?

All right, let's get started.

Let 'er rip, Al!

of a cobblestone pathway
in this area of the swamp

that have been bordered by
hand-cut wooden survey stakes.

And they have been
especially intrigued

by another man-made structure

that they found
next to the cobbled path--

an empty brick and slate vault

that could date back
to the 1700s or earlier.

He's just gonna go
into the ground a bit,

take the grass off.

of the cobblestone path
in the hopes

that it might lead them to
additional vault-like structures

that still contain
hidden valuables.

Hey, guys!

I found a...

...piece of cut wood.

-Oh, yeah.
- I found that.

- It's got a nice...
- Definitely cut.

...beautiful axe cut on it.

What's that?

-Is that a board, Jack?
- Yeah.

and large boards in the
northern region of the swamp?

Could the team
be finding evidence

of a structure of some kind?

If so, who created it?

And more importantly,
for what purpose?

It looks like

there's more wood popping up
as we dig down deeper.

But what does that mean?

I don't know.

the very, very north end
of the swamp

on Tom's property, uh,

it's proved very productive.

You know, we came up
with a lot of stakes

that started veering
to the northwest.

What does that mean?

Is there something hiding
down below?

This one's a big one.

but we'll keep digging

until we find out
for sure what happened here.

Hey, Rick.

- Hey.
- Hey, Rick.

Hey, Rick.

More swamp, huh?

Yeah.

We started finding some wood

in this depression here.

This has definitely been

previously dug.

Maybe Fred?

I mean, honestly,

Fred did a lot of work

- during his time here.
-Yeah, he did.

Right.

the late treasure hunter
Fred Nolan drained the swamp

and was shocked to find pieces
of large sailing vessels

and several uniform lines
of wooden survey stakes

that were carbon-dated
to the 16th century.

These discoveries
made Fred speculate

that the swamp may have been
artificially created

to hide multiple caches
of valuables.

So, let's see
if that stake line continues.

Hopefully there's
something else to be found.

Okay.

offer evidence
that Fred was correct?

If so, what else
might be waiting for them

to uncover in the area?

-It's another stake.
- Look at this. Look at that.
-Oh,

- my gosh!
- Yeah!

Right there.

But the confusing thing is,

it doesn't line up
with anything.

There's got to be
good reason behind it.

Well, there might be more
through here.

Let's keep pulling,

finding more information,
and see

if we can't find a few more.

Okey doke, Al.

This stake was curious
because it was out of place.

There's something going on here.

I just don't know what it is.

Maybe there's something else
that we have as yet not noticed.

Hey, guys.

What is it?

We definitely got
something in there.

There's metal in the wood.

Oh!

of the Oak Island swamp,

Rick Lagina, Craig Tester,

and other members
of the Oak Island team

have just uncovered
more evidence

of mysterious man-made workings.

How heavy is that?

Mm. About...

maybe 50.

This is strange.

With the lines in it.

Yeah. That's
something different.

Do you think that somebody
carved that into the wood?

Or do you think it happened
by a natural process?

That's not natural.

- Look at that.
-Yeah.

Hey, Rick, I'll go ahead
and text Ethan.

Have him come down
and look at that wood.

We have to call in Ethan,

a member
of our archaeological team.

He can come down and hopefully
render a educated opinion.

Hopefully there are
some answers.

- Hey, team.
-Hello!

- Hey, Ethan.
- Hey.

So,

we have a very unusual piece.

Okay. Yeah,
I'll have a look at it.

There you go.

Well, that is unique.

Do you think

someone was trying
to make something out of this

- with those lines?
- In my opinion,

it looks man-made,

these engravings.

And it's got to have
some kind of purpose,

but I would say for grip
or something. Like...

Like tread on tires.

Moving something.

Like as a roller?

Yeah.

that this log may have been used
to transport heavy items

into the northern region
of the swamp?

If so, what could it have been?

And where is it now?

It's strange.

There's no other way to put it.

Well, thanks for your input.
I'm glad to hear

it's man-manipulated.

We got to figure out
what it is yet.

You guys keep on going

and Rick and I got stuff to do
and you can head back

- to archaeology, so...
- Let's do it.

-Thank you, Ethan.
-See you later.
-See you.

-Seven-foot plug.
-Seven out?

'Kay.

...as the excavation

of RP-2 proceeds
in the Money Pit area,

nearly half a mile
to the west on Lot 5...

- a lot of really interesting
artifacts.
-Yeah.

I'm gonna expose this.

Okay.

...Ethan Green has joined other
members of the archaeology team

to continue investigating
a mysterious round foundation.

It's an area of-of intrigue.

This should tell us a lot more.

this structure has produced
a number of fascinating clues

since the team first began
uncovering it in 2022.

These include
a 14th-century barter token

that may be connected
to the Knights Templar,

iron tools, English coins,

and Venetian trade beads

that have been dated
to the 17th century.

And even a mortar-like material

that matches soils
that have been unearthed

from more than 100 feet deep
in the Money Pit area.

These discoveries have led
the team to speculate

that this structure
may have been occupied

by multiple groups
at different time periods

and possibly served
as a staging ground

for operations to deposit
valuables in the Money Pit.

Even though we still don't have
a full explanation,

Lot 5 has yielded
some very incredible artifacts.

Some of the materials found

inside the structure
or structures on Lot 5 match

materials from at depth
in the Money Pit.

Well, that's
a pretty direct connection.

Hey!

Check this out.

That's a really nice nail.

That's a cool find.

You can see--

it's reasonably corroded but...

not as fully encrusted

- as sometimes you see
in the more modern iron.
- Mm. Yeah.

So that makes me think
it's got a bit

of good age to it.

That's big.

That's a really good size.

I would probably put
that date at mid-

- to late 1700s, for sure. Yeah.
- Awesome.

But something that size,
you probably wouldn't just use

for a normal structure.
That almost looks like

something you would use
for a-a wharf.

Oh, cool.

Found at the round feature
near the shoreline on Lot 5?

I think we've got more work

- to do here. That's for sure.
- Yeah, of course.

to the docking of a ship

that brought something
of great value

to Oak Island long ago?

Ha. Speak of the devil.

Look at this.

Oh, wow.

So, that is a piece
of Astbury ware.

'Cause you can tell, see,
with the combing lines on it

- and the really nice glaze.
- Yeah. Wow.

This is
probably amongst the older

- of the ceramics
that we find in this area.
- Wow.

It's in really good shape.

Wow, that is nice.

This could give us dates

- of 1740.
- Wow.

that was produced
between the 1720s and 1760s.

Could this fragment be
another critical clue

of when this feature
may have been used

by someone who hid valuables
on Oak Island?

- That's a nice piece to find.
- Yeah.

-Let's find some more.
- Perfect.

That's a handle.

...nearly 500 feet east
of the Money Pit,

near Smith's Cove...

That's a cool find.

Great find, Blake.

...Oak Island historian
Charles Barkhouse

and other members of the team

are searching for artifacts

and potential valuables

in the freshly washed spoils

that have been removed
from the RP-2 shaft.

Wow. That's really cool.

We're advancing the caissons.

The material that comes up
in the hammer grab

is loaded into a dump truck
and taken up to the wash plant.

The use of this machine
allows us

to look at the material
more effectively.

All eyes
are on that conveyor belt,

because you never know
what's coming up.

and go through it
in very fine detail.

That's a little better.

So if there's anything in here

from inside
the original Money Pit,

we'll find it.

Well, that's the first piece.

Really unique piece
that we found.

See the glaze on the inside?

That could've been part
of a handle, maybe.

Well, Laird has said

glazing only on one side
is older.

- Yeah.
-Yeah, it looks like

a piece got broken off of there.

But that's cool.

And then

this just came off
the wash plant right now.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

Almost looks like
a fleur-de-lis.

Yeah. You're right.

that were removed
from more than 80 feet deep

in the RP-2 shaft,

the Oak Island team
has just recovered

another potentially important
clue...

That's
a higher status item, you think?

- You would think.
- Yeah.

...a piece of pottery
with what appears to be

a French symbol
known as the fleur-de-lis.

We did find those--
that cap badge

- with the fleur-de-lis
on it as well.
- We did. Yeah.

You know, little pieces
of artifacts tell a story.

We've learned that over and over
again from the archeologists.

And this reminds me,
with your reference

to the fleur-de-lis,

I think we all recall

in that ship's log,

they were waiting
for the Duc d'Anville to arrive.

They reference
the 12-foot-diameter shaft.

Oh, that's cool.

the team found a believed 18th
century French military badge

on Lot 21

bearing a fleur-de-lis.

I found eight pages

- of a ship's log.
-And just one year
prior to that,

Doug Crowell discovered
a portion

of an 18th-century
French naval log

in the Nova Scotia Archives

that may help explain

how both the badge
and this pottery from RP-2

wound up on Oak Island.

"It has been agreed
that a deep pit be dug

and treasure securely buried."

In my mind,
there's no doubt that they're

pointing right to Oak Island.

What troubles me is
how perfect this is.

France launched
the largest armada to date

in an effort to reclaim
Nova Scotia from England.

The fleet was led
by the Duc d'Anville,

an admiral from
the noble Rochefoucauld family

who had ties to the order
of the Knights Templar

dating back
to the 12th century.

Unfortunately,
due to violent storms

and a wave of disease,

the armada failed
in its mission.

However, according to the log
uncovered by Doug Crowell,

a second, secret mission
to hide a vast treasure

on a wooded island just off
the coast of Nova Scotia

reportedly succeeded.

They reference dedicating
so many people to a dig,

a tunnel from the cove.

Yeah.

Might this pottery
offer further evidence

that the ship's log,
which was connected

to the Duc d'Anville,
was describing

a buried treasure
in the Oak Island Money Pit?

If so, might the team

soon recover it
in the RP-2 shaft?

There are clues and they...

sometimes the clues can be
put together.

Maybe, just maybe this pottery

with a possible fleur-de-lis is
an important clue

regarding the Duc D'Anville expedition.

I applaud everyone
for finding that,

especially you, Charles,
and Scott,

I really thank you, guys,
for doing that.

You never know
what you're gonna find on that,

on that belt, right?

I mean, it just goes
to show you right there.

Kudos to you.

Let's take them back and see

if we can't get some idea
of what they represent.

- Good job, Charles.
- Okay.

And the dig is at 96.

96? We're getting there.

Rick, Marty and members
of the team monitor

the excavation of the RP-2 shaft

as it continues towards
a target depth of 118 feet.

Oh, wow.

This is more of what
you're looking for here, Rick.

That's a hewn beam there.

Let's go get it, Rick.

I got it.

- Where to?
- Up by Terry.

Boy, that is nice work, eh?
Look at that.

Beautiful workmanship.

It doesn't necessarily look
like spruce, either, does it?

It's heavy. I don't know.

They look like pin knots,
which is more like oak.

I wonder if that's
from the original Money Pit.

Yeah, agreed.

Possibly made of oak

and recovered at a depth
of nearly 100 feet in RP-2?

When searchers excavated
the original Money Pit

more than two centuries ago,

they reported finding
platforms of oak logs

buried at ten-foot intervals

down to a depth
of at least 90 feet.

Is it possible
that the Oak Island team has

recovered part of
the original Money Pit in RP-2?

If so, could that mean

that they are also close to
breaching the Shaft Six tunnel

and finding the treasure
that is believed

to now lie scattered
inside of it?

The narrative said
they were oak logs.

We don't see much oak
in the rest of these spoils.

Is it possible that it is

indicative of the original story?

It's possible.

Surely, there must be something

in the original Money Pit
that survives.

This may be that very proof.

We may be close.

- Hey, Vanessa.
- All right, guys.

We are done for the day,

but the exciting news is

we are ending the day right
before your target zone,

'cause I don't want
to start that area

and then be stuck here
in the dark.

So tomorrow morning
we're gonna find treasure.

You're killing me now.

I'm sorry.

- Where are we?
- Uh, we are at 100 with the dig

and 107 with the casing teeth.

Tomorrow's the day.

All right.

It's frustrating that
the day has come to a close.

But I'm excited for tomorrow.

You know, we always say,

"Tomorrow's the day,
tomorrow's the day."

Tomorrow we almost
certainly will be able

to deepen
into the zone of interest

and maybe find some treasure.

So, it's, it's an exciting,
anticipatory moment.

We saw wood, possibly,
from a collapse above.

So the narrative fits.

The question that lingers,
of course, is

was there something
in that collapse?

Was there really
treasure above them?

I believe there was

and I believe
tomorrow we'll find it.

So thanks for making us
wait tonight.

It's like Christmas morning.

- You guys are gonna be
so excited.
- Okay. All right.

I'm gonna look at it that way.

- All right. See you tomorrow.
- Thanks, Vanessa.

Okay, Vanessa. Thanks.

As a new day begins
on Oak Island...

of the RP-2 shaft closes in
on a target depth

of 118 feet
in the Money Pit area...

-Let her rip, Al!
- Okay.

I'm gonna get out of his way.

...Tom Nolan
and members of the team continue

looking for clues

where they have marked
new possible sections

of the cobblestone pathway

with staked flags

in the northern region
of the swamp.

Th stakes should still
be in line.

There should be some right here,
but not over there.

We're getting close to where

we just might
take up a stake, so...

I agree.

for the last time this year

before she returns
home to Florida

is Gary Drayton's
daughter, Katya.

you were gonna come
to Oak Island

and kick treasure hunting butt,

and that's exactly what you did.

Thank you for making
your old dad proud.

Stake! Got a stake.

What?

Geez, look at that.

We got a stake.

Looks like eight cuts to me.

Yeah.

There was a reason
these stakes were put in.

I think there is some possible
association that they were part

of a construction of a path
through a wetland area.

The treasure may have moved
through this path.

So it's very interesting
and quite exciting.

Where do you think
it came from, Al?

Just over there where Jack is.

All right. This is
where it's gonna live, then.

- Right here.
- Good.

It feels right in line.

You know,
if you look at the spacing

between these two,

and you look at the spacing
between those two,

it's almost perfect.

It definitely was put here
for a reason.

Yeah.

Why don't we take the distance

we've got from that one

to this one

and project it forward?

And just see if it gives us a,
a target zone.

- That's a great idea.
-Okay.

-Got
a tape measure on you?
-I do.

- Okay.
- What's it read?

That is 14 feet. Bang on.

- Let's try these two.
- Okay.

What's that distance?

-14 feet exactly.
-Again?

Yeah.

Okay, so should we
measure back...

- Yeah, let's--
- ...and try to extend the line?

Let's go ahead 14 feet
and just see if we find one.

- Tell me when.
- Keep going, keep going.

Going. Right there.

- Right here?
-Yeah.

Al, this is where
we think there might be a stake.

Okay. We'll keep
a watch for that.

we've found in the swamp
over the years

has all been based
on measurement and positioning.

It shows a level of engineering,
putting this together.

To that end,

I think we may be
heading for something.

What's that?

What is it?

A piece of wood.

Could that be a pin
to something?

It's hard to say.

- It's cut.
- That's really strange.

I would say it is.

- How are you, Rick?
- Hello, young lady. How are you?

-Good.
- Here.
-Hey, guys.

Look at what Tom just found.

-That's very interesting.
- It was pretty shallow.

I will say this,
you've done a lot more work,

so what have you found?

- We found another stake.
-Really?

Oh, right there.

Yeah. And when
we took a measurement,

they were spaced

- exactly 14 feet.
-Really?

-Yeah.
-Very interesting.

Let's go see
if we can't find another one.

Awesome.

Tom has said many times,

they did exhaustive work
in the swamp

and these structures are
coming up

that we had no clue about.

It speaks to the possibility

that there could be
more hidden vaults

in the swamp,
which we have yet to find.

But there's probably

at least as many things
as we have discovered

that remain to be discovered.

Okay. Well, Katya,
I know you have to leave.

I applaud, obviously,
the work you've done.

It's incredibly interesting.

I mean,
you think about it, right?

When you first started here,

none of this was done.

And so I speak for everybody,
you've done a tremendous job.

We're grateful that you came
and you're always welcome here.

Thank you.

the most amazing people
since I've gotten here

who have been
nothing but welcoming,

and they've all
really showed me the ropes.

And I cannot wait to come back
and help find the treasure.

- I've got to run
to the Money Pit.
- Okay.

Keep pulling through here
and see what you get.

That's where we're going.

-We're gonna
miss you, Katya.
-Thank you.

Well, I'm glad some of us
could gather here today

because C-14 test results are
always very interesting.

...Rick has gathered
members of the Oak Island team

in the war room.

We do have an artifact here.

We've all looked at it.

It's definitely a dowel,
hand-shaped.

of a C-14 test

that has just been completed
on a wooden dowel

found one week ago
at a depth of some 60 feet

in the RP-2 shaft.

Dr. Spooner is here
to explain the results to us.

Yeah. Let's get
right to the data.

I'm gonna pass this on.

We've got, uh, 44% 1725 to 1764.

The most probable time period is

right before discovery
of the Money Pit.

The most probable
time period is

right before discovery
of the Money Pit.

Yeah. I think this is
a very important piece of wood.

Might be an original piece
of the Money Pit right there.

the wooden dowel
that was recently discovered

in the RP-2 shaft may have been
part of the original Money Pit.

But more importantly,
it could also mean

that the team is on-target
to recover the treasure

that people have been seeking
for more than two centuries.

To me, what's super cool
about this is it's also

the same time
we're getting for some

of the Lot 5 artifacts.

So that's very interesting.

All the theories are
still in play.

I mean,
maybe Duc D'Anville was here

and deposited something.

It could support
the Duc D'Anville,

the French treasure.

We have a lot of dates
around 1750,

let's just call it.

You add up all this data
we've uncovered

and all the historical record

and that would have to be

somebody who deposited
something here.

So we don't know yet,
but we can find out.

To me, this mystery is

encapsulated within who, what,
when, where, why and how.

There will be a moment

the who, what, when, where,
why and how of it will be told.

So you've just got to be patient
and, uh, stay the course.

We have more work to do,
so I think we need

to get out of here and go do it.

- Thank you, Dr. Spooner.
-Yep.

-Do we have some
excitement level here?
-Hey.

- We are. We're ready.
- It's coming. It's building.

Let's go.

...Rick has joined
his brother Marty

and other members
of the Oak Island team

in the Money Pit area,

after receiving word

that the RP-2 caisson has
reached a depth

of 105 feet below ground...

just 13 feet
from where they hope

to intercept
the Shaft Six tunnel.

I see no reason not to have
a lot of hope today

because nothing we see suggests
in any way, shape or form

that the narrative is
not correct.

Okay. Who's in?

- I'm in.
- I'm in.

- Got a shovel.
-Yeah.

-We're all in.
-Everybody's in.

It's somewhere
between 112 and 120, certainly.

Ooh, that looks
like an old timber, doesn't it?

Some big pieces.

I'm short of that one thing
that proves the treasure is real

and that one thing is
everything to me.

Oh, wow. Look at that.

That's great.

What's that?
A big piece of wood?

It's adze-cut.

An adze is
an ancient cutting tool

that was long used
in construction

until mechanized saws
were invented

during the late 18th century.

If this timber was indeed
shaped with an adze,

could it--

just like the previously
found wooden dowel--

have come
from the original Money Pit?

Oh, look at that.

Look at that.

-Yeah.
- See the line on the edge?

Yeah. Like a barrel.

Think it might be a barrel?

- Yeah.
- That is a barrel.

-Yeah.
- A barrel, a barrel stave.

-That's a barrel.
-Yeah.

Rick, that looks
like a barrel stave.

Yeah. Wow.

Wasn't there like a top of a keg

that they grabbed
out of the original Money Pit?

-Yeah.
-Absolutely.

of the original Money Pit
in 1861,

which is believed to have left
a debris field of wood

and scattered treasure
in the Shaft Six tunnel,

a worker recovered
the top of a wooden keg,

or barrel, just before
escaping with his life.

This has led many
to speculate that,

in addition
to the two stacked chests,

the Money Pit may have
also contained barrels

full of possible valuables.

Well, that's pretty cool.

-Absolutely.
- Pretty bloody cool.

Yeah. That fits
the narrative perfectly.

Yeah. It wasn't just food
and water in barrels.

They used to put coins
in barrels.

Yeah. This is good.

- Yeah.
- This is real good.

that the team has once again
reached the Shaft Six tunnel

and may soon make a historic,
breakthrough discovery?

in the Money Pit.
Now, to what end?

It is a clue that we are close
to finding the one thing.

Cutting through something hard.

You're in something hard?

It jumped from 130 to 160.

The pressures
on the oscillators just changed.

We're about at 116 feet
with the casing teeth.

Pressure is going up.
What does that mean?

Well, they're cutting
into something harder.

So it could be something
we don't know anything about.

Yeah. Iron's hard.
It could be an iron box

full of gold coins.

You never know.

It could be an iron box
full of gold coins.

- You never know.
-You never know.

It sure would be nice
to hold something.

Yeah.

upon reaching a depth
of some 116 feet

in the RP-2 shaft,

a hard object, or obstruction,
has just been encountered

in the Shaft Six tunnel.

Here we go, Rick. Going in.

could it be something
of great importance or value?

Well, that's looking
like the bottom.

Yeah.

Wow, there's nothing in here,
this is quiet.

Ugh.

I think we've come
to the end of the line.

That stuff's so thick.

It's starting to get into...
in situ stuff.

Definitely there's more in situ.

No big chunks that you'd find
laying on the bottom.

No.

Unfortunately, looks like
we're getting out of her.

Where's the coinage?

Well, it's certainly not here.

No. It looks like
it's petering out.

Forget me, it's all about Gary.

You know,
if he's not finding it.

- Yep.
-As far as, uh,
geology, yeah,

- we're getting into in situ.
-Yeah.

- And we're done, I think.
-Yeah, we are.

It likely means that
the obstruction in RP-2 was

merely the bottom
of the Shaft Six tunnel

and the team is now digging

through undisturbed earth
below their target area.

I did tell Rick earlier

that we thought you were cutting
through wood and your pressures,

and then you said
the pressures changed again.

So, can you get him up to speed?

I was cutting about 120, 130,

- which is pretty low.
-So, you think
you're through the wood?

Yeah, I think we're through.

- This is just hard,
hard material.
- Yeah.

It's dry. It doesn't--
the teeth don't like that.

Yeah. I just think we're
in situ soil at this point.

So I think we have to call it.

Yeah.

There's no question at this
point that we're on Shaft Six.

Now, what we need to do is
properly locate the next can

over the tunnel,
and at that point,

there either is something
or there isn't.

Okay. All right, so we got
one more shot at this area.

Right. You can't give up.

- You just can't give up.
- No. I'm not giving up.

- All righty.
- Okay. All right.

Next one.

Thank you, John.

What we found in RP-1
convinced me,

certainly,
and I think all of us,

that a significant collapse
had happened.

In RP-2, we found evidence
of different constructs.

It was impactful.

The keg,
the barrel stave was found.

It raised the expectations
through the roof.

Unfortunately,
they weren't born out.

We have high hopes
with the next can location.

You hitch up your boots,
you get stuck in--

as Gary calls it--
and you move forward.

So I am the bearer of bad news,
but I'm also the bearer

of potentially fantastic news.

Okay. You said fantastic news.

-Yeah.
-Fantastic news.
- Okay.

- From my perspective.
- Yeah.

Okay.

The bad news is, unfortunately,
we're done here.

But for me,
we proved the narrative.

I don't see
any way to argue that.

It's what you always say, right?

- Let's put an X
through something.
- Okay.

Let's put an X
through Shaft Six.

So I'm gonna hazard a guess
you want to have

- one more go at this?
- I do.

I want us to set up
over the tunnel.

- It's imperative.
- Okay. Anybody disagree?

Nope.

We just missed it.

If RP-2 partway down
the tunnel has evidence

of original Money Pit things,
but no treasure,

perhaps if we get just
one stage closer

between Shaft Six
and the Money Pit,

we might find something.

And that's what Rick wants to do

and I'm completely on board.

- Hi, guys.
-Vanessa.

-Hey, how you doing?
-Good, good.

We'll get this caisson
pulled back out of the ground

and get ready
to drill the next one.

Thanks to the team
for all the hard work, please.

I will. For sure.

- All right. Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.

to their second attempt
at recovering valuables

in the Shaft Six tunnel,

Rick, Marty, Craig
and their fellowship have

multiple reasons
to remain hopeful.

They found not only
more compelling evidence

of the original Money Pit

but also the potential
remains of a barrel

that may have once
contained part

of the fabled
Oak Island treasure.

So now, as they carefully
calculate their next target,

perhaps one more dig
will finally solve

this 230-year-old mystery.
