00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,400
(Transcrito por TurboScribe. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) Tonight, on the Curse of Oak Island.

2
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:04,080
Heads up.

3
00:00:05,020 --> 00:00:06,900
We've broken through into the solution channel.

4
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:08,320
That's what we're looking for.

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,940
The three churches have exactly the same stellar alignment of loctite.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,200
This could be a tunnel shaft entrance.

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,740
Maybe it's just right under here.

8
00:00:17,860 --> 00:00:18,680
A piece of wood.

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,000
What's wood doing down that way?

10
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,120
Maybe this wood came from the original money pit.

11
00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:24,540
If there's wood at the top, maybe there's gold at the bottom.

12
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:26,100
Possibly treasure on deck.

13
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:27,860
Woo-hoo-hoo! What have we got here?

14
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:34,150
There is an island in the North Atlantic

15
00:00:34,770 --> 00:00:38,050
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure

16
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:40,450
for more than 200 years.

17
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:44,550
So far, they have found a stone slab

18
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:47,130
with strange symbols carved into it.

19
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:50,670
Man-made workings that date to medieval times.

20
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:56,270
And a lead cross whose origin may be connected to the Knights Templar.

21
00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:01,230
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.

22
00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:04,010
And, according to legend,

23
00:01:04,970 --> 00:01:07,170
one more will have to die

24
00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:10,150
before the treasure can be found.

25
00:01:26,470 --> 00:01:29,470
Oh, wow, Fiona. You've gotten so much done.

26
00:01:29,550 --> 00:01:29,790
Wow.

27
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:31,910
This must look a little different from before.

28
00:01:32,090 --> 00:01:32,310
Yeah.

29
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:35,070
A new day on Oak Island

30
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:38,610
brings the team fresh hope for a breakthrough discovery

31
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:41,990
as Rick, Craig, and members of the team

32
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:46,290
investigate the cradle-shaped feature of stones on Lot 8.

33
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:49,830
I can't wait to show you how this is progressing

34
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:51,070
and what I'm seeing in here.

35
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:54,090
It's been changing as I've gone along.

36
00:01:54,510 --> 00:01:54,910
Oh, yeah.

37
00:01:55,810 --> 00:01:58,990
So once we removed that third layer of rocks,

38
00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:01,190
we came across a substance which was like mortar,

39
00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:02,590
like a cement-like material.

40
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:05,650
So it makes me feel like they did this in a way

41
00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:08,630
that they wanted these rocks to stay in place for some reason.

42
00:02:09,169 --> 00:02:10,890
And what I've discovered this morning

43
00:02:10,890 --> 00:02:12,450
as I've been digging around this,

44
00:02:12,770 --> 00:02:14,370
this particular area here,

45
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:16,210
as I've been removing the rocks,

46
00:02:16,290 --> 00:02:18,110
they were extremely hard to get out.

47
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:20,910
But I've got enough of the smaller rocks out now

48
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:22,710
that I think that maybe you should see

49
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:23,830
if you can get that moved.

50
00:02:24,510 --> 00:02:25,310
I have gloves on.

51
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:26,490
Want me to give it a try?

52
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:28,710
I think you guys, any of you, would be welcome.

53
00:02:29,570 --> 00:02:32,250
You'll notice there's still some of what I call

54
00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:34,310
these pinner rocks holding this in place.

55
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:36,710
I'm going to try to just step right down

56
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:38,630
so I don't remove anything, hopefully.

57
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:39,650
Oh, it's pretty sturdy.

58
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:41,510
All right.

59
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:43,730
Oh, yeah, that's it. That's true.

60
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:49,550
After revealing this formation beneath a 40,000-pound boulder,

61
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:53,230
the team has discovered hand-worked blue clay

62
00:02:53,230 --> 00:02:55,290
and a mortar-like cement

63
00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:58,010
which were used to seal the stones together.

64
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:03,250
And after scientifically examining the soils within the feature,

65
00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:06,210
they have found traces of silver and lead.

66
00:03:07,450 --> 00:03:10,810
This suggests evidence of another possible structure

67
00:03:11,510 --> 00:03:13,290
containing something of great value

68
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:15,390
may be buried deeper below.

69
00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:19,730
Got it.

70
00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:20,670
Did you get it?

71
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:20,890
Yep.

72
00:03:21,730 --> 00:03:22,190
No problem.

73
00:03:22,210 --> 00:03:22,810
Oh, I'm amazed.

74
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:25,130
Okay, where do you want me to throw this, over there?

75
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:26,710
How about right here? That's fine for now.

76
00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:26,870
Okay.

77
00:03:26,870 --> 00:03:28,630
I'm actually keeping all of these rocks

78
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:30,050
because I just want to get an idea

79
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:31,950
of how many we've taken out in total.

80
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:35,070
It does look like there's some dark organic underneath it there.

81
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:35,490
Mm-hmm.

82
00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:39,270
The mortar-like material was done very well,

83
00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:40,570
and we had three types of it.

84
00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:44,590
We found a very, very fine one, which is down here,

85
00:03:44,770 --> 00:03:46,990
and if I were to put it on my trowel,

86
00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:50,970
you can see how fine it is, a very fine powder material,

87
00:03:51,090 --> 00:03:52,970
which is actually similar to what you're seeing

88
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:54,210
on the outskirts of this,

89
00:03:54,210 --> 00:03:57,030
and we've taken samples to see if we can compare them.

90
00:03:57,450 --> 00:04:00,610
Then we had a very blue-like clay sample,

91
00:04:00,790 --> 00:04:02,670
as you can kind of see some of it in here.

92
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:07,770
But this blue, blue-gray clay

93
00:04:08,570 --> 00:04:11,330
had some very similarities, according to Dr. Spooner,

94
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:13,590
to what we think the puddling clay is at the Money Pit.

95
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:16,050
So we've taken samples to compare

96
00:04:16,050 --> 00:04:18,149
against the clay that we found at the Money Pit,

97
00:04:18,209 --> 00:04:19,149
just in case it matches.

98
00:04:20,209 --> 00:04:22,190
And then you have this third mortar material,

99
00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:23,990
which is what you see at this north end,

100
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:25,390
very cement-like.

101
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:28,990
What I'm wondering is, if any of those have materials

102
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:31,730
that are not from here, you know,

103
00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:33,390
sourced from somewhere else,

104
00:04:33,470 --> 00:04:35,770
then it's proof positive that it's deliberate.

105
00:04:36,330 --> 00:04:38,470
We're also going to compare it to the mortar material

106
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:39,670
that we found on Lot 5.

107
00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:40,190
Mm-hmm.

108
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:42,050
And we think Lot 5's pretty old,

109
00:04:42,250 --> 00:04:43,590
but if we do get matches,

110
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:46,310
then that could be information for both sites as well.

111
00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:49,390
Based upon the analysis of the mortars,

112
00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:52,670
we'll be able to pin down when this was built.

113
00:04:52,910 --> 00:04:53,130
Yeah.

114
00:04:53,970 --> 00:04:57,170
You know, to me, it's, it's so amazing,

115
00:04:57,370 --> 00:04:58,750
but what is it?

116
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:59,090
Mm-hmm.

117
00:04:59,090 --> 00:04:59,630
What does it mean?

118
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:01,030
I mean, at this point in time,

119
00:05:01,070 --> 00:05:03,410
we have no idea, no idea.

120
00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:05,430
So...

121
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:08,350
This could be a tunnel shaft entrance.

122
00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:10,170
Maybe, it's just right under here.

123
00:05:11,050 --> 00:05:13,390
Yeah, well, it definitely goes deeper.

124
00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:19,970
Some of us want to dig below the cradle with heavy equipment,

125
00:05:20,330 --> 00:05:22,410
and I know that the archaeologists,

126
00:05:22,630 --> 00:05:24,850
especially Fiona, have an intense desire

127
00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:27,570
to do it in a very disciplined fashion.

128
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:32,010
I think all parties agree that if something's underneath it,

129
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:33,950
we want to know what that something is.

130
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:35,770
We just have to be patient.

131
00:05:36,410 --> 00:05:37,430
What are you going to do?

132
00:05:37,490 --> 00:05:39,510
You're going to bisect it there?

133
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:43,370
The plan is to do a bisection on this left side here.

134
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:44,910
We'll take it right down,

135
00:05:45,090 --> 00:05:46,930
look at exactly how they constructed it,

136
00:05:47,070 --> 00:05:49,110
and I think as we're removing these rocks,

137
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:51,870
I would like to get samples of the soil underneath.

138
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:54,790
Okey-doke, we'll let you get after it.

139
00:05:54,890 --> 00:05:55,430
Great job.

140
00:05:56,030 --> 00:05:56,590
Thank you, Fiona.

141
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:57,550
Thanks, guys.

142
00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:01,370
Later that afternoon...

143
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:04,070
Guys.

144
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:04,990
Hello, Alex.

145
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:05,490
How's it going?

146
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:05,990
Hey, Alex, how you doing?

147
00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:09,450
Alex and Jack arrive in the Money Pit area,

148
00:06:09,850 --> 00:06:12,530
where the excavation of the TPF shaft

149
00:06:12,530 --> 00:06:15,010
has nearly breached the solution channel.

150
00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:18,390
And in an area where soil testing

151
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:20,470
during their core drilling operation

152
00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:24,970
detected high traces of silver more than 200 feet deep.

153
00:06:25,770 --> 00:06:26,750
Where are we at?

154
00:06:27,130 --> 00:06:30,290
We're below 167, and we're into something very hard.

155
00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:31,330
We're cutting into it.

156
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:32,550
They've got some good recovery.

157
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:34,810
We could see little bits of gypsum

158
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:36,130
if we're really close to the ledge

159
00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:37,850
that overhangs the solution channel.

160
00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:43,050
Previous drilling that reached the solution channel

161
00:06:43,050 --> 00:06:45,810
has made the team aware of a thick ledge

162
00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:51,690
or layer of bedrock between 150 and 170 feet deep

163
00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:55,130
that acts as a ceiling for the large natural cavity.

164
00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:06,370
Hey.

165
00:07:06,610 --> 00:07:07,170
Hey, Rick.

166
00:07:07,170 --> 00:07:07,890
How you doing?

167
00:07:08,110 --> 00:07:08,210
Good.

168
00:07:08,570 --> 00:07:10,430
You see how much smoke is coming off there,

169
00:07:10,510 --> 00:07:12,170
that kind of heat that's being generated.

170
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:14,450
There's a lot of heat buildup on that thing.

171
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:14,970
Yeah.

172
00:07:15,190 --> 00:07:16,370
That's been chewing into the bedrock.

173
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:19,250
You see the gypsum on the side of it.

174
00:07:19,370 --> 00:07:19,750
Wow.

175
00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:22,730
We're so close.

176
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:23,910
Really tantalizing.

177
00:07:24,310 --> 00:07:26,130
But this material that comes up,

178
00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:27,990
we've got a really good chance

179
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:30,450
of actually finding some top-pocket finds.

180
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:31,090
Yeah.

181
00:07:31,390 --> 00:07:31,870
Absolutely.

182
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:33,990
There's no give-up around the table,

183
00:07:34,450 --> 00:07:35,930
so get after it.

184
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:37,050
Sounds good.

185
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:40,590
As the teams from SBC and ROC

186
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,930
work to drill through the bedrock ledge...

187
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:47,630
Gentlemen, it is data and analysis time.

188
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:50,570
Always a good time, always interesting.

189
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:54,330
Rick, Marty, Craig, and other members of the team

190
00:07:54,330 --> 00:07:56,050
have gathered in the war room.

191
00:07:56,610 --> 00:08:00,250
We have a bona fide expert in laser ablation,

192
00:08:00,430 --> 00:08:01,490
Dr. Chris McFarland.

193
00:08:01,570 --> 00:08:02,950
He's been in this war room before.

194
00:08:03,590 --> 00:08:04,610
Let's get him on the screen.

195
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:05,970
Yep.

196
00:08:06,990 --> 00:08:08,170
Dr. McFarland.

197
00:08:09,090 --> 00:08:10,450
Hello, fellas.

198
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:13,790
The team is meeting with Dr. Chris McFarland,

199
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:16,050
a professor of geochemistry

200
00:08:16,050 --> 00:08:17,950
at the University of New Brunswick.

201
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:21,170
It is one of the leading testing facilities

202
00:08:21,170 --> 00:08:22,230
in North America

203
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:24,990
for the study of historical artifacts.

204
00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:28,070
We're gonna discuss the decorative lead piece

205
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:29,050
found by you, right, Gary?

206
00:08:29,170 --> 00:08:30,270
Yeah, Charles and I.

207
00:08:30,530 --> 00:08:30,750
Yeah.

208
00:08:32,450 --> 00:08:35,730
Dr. McFarland has analyzed a lead artifact

209
00:08:35,730 --> 00:08:37,690
found earlier this year

210
00:08:37,690 --> 00:08:41,370
in spoils removed from the round feature on Lot 5.

211
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:46,050
So what did your ablation and isotope analysis

212
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:46,850
say about that?

213
00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:49,670
Yeah, just pulling it up here.

214
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:53,990
Laser ablation is a process

215
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:57,330
of removing microscopic samples from lead objects

216
00:08:57,330 --> 00:08:59,290
using a high-powered laser.

217
00:08:59,290 --> 00:09:03,770
The isotopic values of the samples are then analyzed

218
00:09:03,770 --> 00:09:05,570
to potentially identify

219
00:09:05,570 --> 00:09:07,990
not only when the object was made,

220
00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:11,870
but also the geographic region where it originated.

221
00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:16,350
The decorative lead piece,

222
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:20,110
the incrustation on it is quite sodium-rich,

223
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:22,450
which suggests, you know, that it's been there a while.

224
00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:27,150
The silver content is actually quite odd.

225
00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:27,990
Wow.

226
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:32,290
And sort of anomalous compared to modern lead.

227
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:32,890
Okay.

228
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:37,190
The actual fabrication is probably pre-industrial

229
00:09:38,130 --> 00:09:41,370
and predates anything happening in North America

230
00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:43,970
in the turn of the last century, more or less.

231
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:45,790
Oh, wow. Okay.

232
00:09:46,370 --> 00:09:49,890
Quite typical of a Central European source.

233
00:09:50,510 --> 00:09:54,970
And by Central European, I mean UK, France, and Germany,

234
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:56,490
sort of in that part of the world.

235
00:09:56,490 --> 00:09:58,170
Really? Wow.

236
00:09:58,650 --> 00:10:02,710
I do have another piece of information for you, though.

237
00:10:02,910 --> 00:10:03,310
Good.

238
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:09,950
It also bears some similarity with the scalloped artifact

239
00:10:10,490 --> 00:10:15,210
from Lot 5 that we previously analyzed.

240
00:10:16,330 --> 00:10:20,330
Isotopically, it matches this decorative lead piece, right?

241
00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:21,470
Correct, yeah.

242
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:22,670
Wow.

243
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:25,970
And we think that's from medieval times.

244
00:10:29,650 --> 00:10:31,330
That's really, really cool.

245
00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:39,290
In the War Room, Dr. Chris McFarland

246
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:39,570
has just informed the team that the lead artifact

247
00:10:41,090 --> 00:10:44,030
And we think that's from medieval times.

248
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:46,910
That's really, really cool.

249
00:10:47,490 --> 00:10:50,070
In the War Room, Dr. Chris McFarland

250
00:10:50,070 --> 00:10:53,450
has just informed the team that the lead artifact

251
00:10:53,450 --> 00:10:56,990
found in the spoils of the round feature on Lot 5

252
00:10:56,990 --> 00:11:01,250
has a similar composition to the potentially 14th century

253
00:11:01,250 --> 00:11:05,550
scalloped disk that was also found there in 2022.

254
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:09,810
It came from a deposit of a similar age

255
00:11:09,810 --> 00:11:12,470
somewhere across Central Europe.

256
00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:13,730
Interesting.

257
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:14,950
That's pretty neat.

258
00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:21,370
OK, and we can also infer that it doesn't fit the mining

259
00:11:21,370 --> 00:11:22,750
profile of North America.

260
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:24,390
Yeah.

261
00:11:25,530 --> 00:11:28,270
And that's probably what we can garner from this, correct?

262
00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:30,830
Yeah, those are all true statements, I would say.

263
00:11:32,390 --> 00:11:33,350
OK, well, good.

264
00:11:33,650 --> 00:11:36,730
So this fits with the bulk of the artifacts from that area.

265
00:11:37,790 --> 00:11:41,330
In addition to this lead piece and the scalloped disk,

266
00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:45,630
the team has found numerous artifacts in the Lot 5 feature

267
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:49,670
that predate the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795

268
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:51,690
and originated in Europe.

269
00:11:52,590 --> 00:11:56,030
These include a button made of arsenical bronze that

270
00:11:56,030 --> 00:12:00,450
may be at least 700 years old, two decorative buttons

271
00:12:00,450 --> 00:12:04,630
and several glass beads that may date to the 17th century,

272
00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:09,410
and two glass gemstones that may have originated in France

273
00:12:09,410 --> 00:12:11,550
during the mid-18th century.

274
00:12:12,850 --> 00:12:17,750
We now have artifacts on Lot 5 that, on a bell-shaped curve,

275
00:12:18,110 --> 00:12:20,690
on the far end, you have the Roman coins.

276
00:12:20,690 --> 00:12:23,930
On the other end, you have pottery and glass

277
00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:26,150
and other artifacts that indicate people

278
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:28,110
were there in the early 1800s.

279
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:33,830
I believe it speaks to, again, that this effort here

280
00:12:33,830 --> 00:12:37,950
on Oak Island long ago was done multigenerationally.

281
00:12:38,350 --> 00:12:40,310
OK, Dr. McFarland, thank you very much.

282
00:12:40,650 --> 00:12:43,550
Always interested in finding out what you have learned,

283
00:12:43,610 --> 00:12:44,710
and we appreciate it.

284
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:45,590
It was a pleasure.

285
00:12:46,130 --> 00:12:46,570
Thank you.

286
00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:46,910
Thank you.

287
00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:49,790
Okey-doke, I think we all have a lot to do,

288
00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:50,770
so let's go.

289
00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:56,850
The next morning.

290
00:12:58,190 --> 00:12:59,330
Come on in here, guys.

291
00:12:59,490 --> 00:12:59,930
Hey, Carmen.

292
00:13:00,150 --> 00:13:00,790
How you doing?

293
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:01,650
Good to see you.

294
00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:04,550
Doug Kroll and other members of the team

295
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:07,550
meet with Carmen Legge in the Oak Island lab.

296
00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:09,550
You got some more stuff to show me?

297
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:11,290
We've got a couple of pieces of chain here

298
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:12,950
that look pretty old.

299
00:13:13,530 --> 00:13:14,130
Well, have a look.

300
00:13:15,790 --> 00:13:18,830
Carmen is examining two hand-forged sections

301
00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:22,630
of chain that were found in the spoils of the Karma 1 shaft.

302
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:25,890
The shaft excavated one week ago,

303
00:13:26,070 --> 00:13:28,690
less than 10 feet from where the team is currently

304
00:13:28,690 --> 00:13:30,550
digging in the Money Pit area.

305
00:13:31,850 --> 00:13:35,110
This was made its way down into Solution Channel depths,

306
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:37,310
and that's what we're hoping to see for signs

307
00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:38,690
of a collapse of the Money Pit.

308
00:13:39,130 --> 00:13:39,850
Oh, I see.

309
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:42,750
Well, they're both similar.

310
00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:49,470
They have a big elongated link on the end.

311
00:13:50,490 --> 00:13:54,010
A lot of times, these was used to create sort of a basket

312
00:13:54,010 --> 00:13:56,970
for lowering and raising items.

313
00:13:57,150 --> 00:13:57,370
Right.

314
00:13:57,930 --> 00:14:00,250
Picture a treasure chest wrapped in chains, right?

315
00:14:00,530 --> 00:14:01,290
It's possible, yeah.

316
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:06,230
If Carmen is correct, is it possible

317
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:09,550
that the team has recovered chains that may have been used

318
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:12,470
to lower something into the original Money Pit?

319
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:15,190
Carmen, is there anything about that chain

320
00:14:15,190 --> 00:14:18,350
that you see that may indicate where it may have been made?

321
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:20,430
I'm going to have to say no, Scott,

322
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:24,770
because this is a generic chain style, chain design,

323
00:14:25,290 --> 00:14:27,770
made over many, many years.

324
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:30,870
I do notice that this one here has a bend

325
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:35,230
in the middle of the long link, and that reinforces my idea

326
00:14:35,230 --> 00:14:37,670
that it had a fit going through and then locked in,

327
00:14:38,350 --> 00:14:42,050
and some stress or force onto it bent that link a little.

328
00:14:43,890 --> 00:14:46,970
This one was made by a blacksmith that knew his stuff.

329
00:14:47,530 --> 00:14:48,870
This one here, however, wasn't.

330
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,870
And I'm going to say that these were made

331
00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:53,750
by two different blacksmiths.

332
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:56,910
Emma, I'm curious about the dates.

333
00:14:57,450 --> 00:15:00,650
Based on the metallurgy, I would give these late 1600s

334
00:15:00,650 --> 00:15:05,070
to mid-1700s and typical of some European regions.

335
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:05,890
Wow.

336
00:15:06,390 --> 00:15:09,430
I kind of like Emma's date range because I'm kind of partial

337
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:10,910
with Duke D'Anvil's expedition.

338
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:12,870
I mean, that was 1746.

339
00:15:13,470 --> 00:15:16,090
Is that from his efforts?

340
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:18,230
That would be a perfect fit for the date range.

341
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:21,250
And you did say Europe for a point of origin.

342
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:25,690
Could Doug Kroll be correct that these chains may provide

343
00:15:25,690 --> 00:15:30,050
another potential link to the Duc d'Anvil, a French admiral

344
00:15:30,050 --> 00:15:32,010
with ties to the Knights Templar?

345
00:15:32,770 --> 00:15:35,730
The Duc d'Anvil is believed to have ordered treasure

346
00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:40,350
to be buried on a wooded island in this area back in 1746.

347
00:15:41,330 --> 00:15:44,050
This is corroborated by part of a ship's log

348
00:15:44,050 --> 00:15:47,210
that Doug found in the Nova Scotia archives.

349
00:15:48,830 --> 00:15:51,570
The chains that were found in the Karma I spoils.

350
00:15:51,950 --> 00:15:54,270
One artifact does not substantiate a theory

351
00:15:54,270 --> 00:15:55,390
in its totality.

352
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:57,350
But it does give you a clue.

353
00:15:57,950 --> 00:16:00,790
We're in the same area with the top locker find location.

354
00:16:00,970 --> 00:16:02,730
And hopefully, it will yield results.

355
00:16:03,790 --> 00:16:04,650
It's very exciting.

356
00:16:04,850 --> 00:16:06,750
I mean, finding something that old from deeper

357
00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:08,190
than the deepest shaft in the Money Pit

358
00:16:08,190 --> 00:16:10,330
is a reason to keep going.

359
00:16:11,150 --> 00:16:12,450
Fingers crossed we find some more.

360
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:13,970
And I'm sure there is more.

361
00:16:14,650 --> 00:16:15,130
Thanks, Carmen.

362
00:16:15,130 --> 00:16:15,490
Thanks, Emma.

363
00:16:15,730 --> 00:16:16,030
Thanks, Emma.

364
00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:18,450
Meanwhile.

365
00:16:18,950 --> 00:16:20,730
I'm ready to find something in this feature that's

366
00:16:20,730 --> 00:16:23,190
going to tell us something truly significant about it.

367
00:16:24,210 --> 00:16:25,390
I can get behind that.

368
00:16:26,410 --> 00:16:28,750
Laird Niven and other members of the team

369
00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:33,130
are back on lot five investigating the rounded stone

370
00:16:33,130 --> 00:16:33,690
foundation.

371
00:16:34,770 --> 00:16:37,150
After I get this bucket filled, maybe I'll

372
00:16:37,150 --> 00:16:38,290
do a little bit more closer.

373
00:16:38,910 --> 00:16:40,550
I hope we find more artifacts.

374
00:16:41,190 --> 00:16:44,710
After the scientific report on the mysterious lead artifact,

375
00:16:45,510 --> 00:16:48,870
the team is eager to search for additional clues.

376
00:16:49,770 --> 00:16:52,130
Obviously, humans created this.

377
00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:53,550
But why is it here?

378
00:16:54,270 --> 00:16:55,090
What's its purpose?

379
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:56,230
Who did it?

380
00:16:56,490 --> 00:16:57,270
When did they do it?

381
00:16:57,510 --> 00:16:59,690
You see it as it sits in front of you

382
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:02,210
and all the work that's been done by Laird and his team.

383
00:17:02,510 --> 00:17:05,530
But because of multi-generational activities,

384
00:17:05,530 --> 00:17:09,030
we still struggle with who was here first.

385
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:15,630
It would be great if you could find a bead right in it.

386
00:17:15,849 --> 00:17:18,329
There's a high potential to find even more.

387
00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:19,430
All right.

388
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:20,750
We can do that.

389
00:17:24,670 --> 00:17:26,930
Oh, I found something.

390
00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:32,730
Hey, Laird.

391
00:17:33,170 --> 00:17:33,450
Yo.

392
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:36,550
I've got something here.

393
00:17:37,150 --> 00:17:39,430
What a great start.

394
00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:44,450
Hey, Laird.

395
00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:47,750
I've got something here.

396
00:17:49,230 --> 00:17:49,950
Cool.

397
00:17:51,410 --> 00:17:52,410
It's metal.

398
00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:55,990
Oh, it's got a little pattern to it.

399
00:17:56,590 --> 00:17:59,450
In the rounded feature on lot five,

400
00:18:00,030 --> 00:18:02,270
Tanzi Rudnicki has just discovered

401
00:18:02,270 --> 00:18:03,650
a curious artifact.

402
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:06,530
It's got a finished edge, which is kind of cool.

403
00:18:06,550 --> 00:18:09,050
It's kind of neat, a bit of a design.

404
00:18:10,670 --> 00:18:14,450
That looks like the rim of a button, perhaps.

405
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:17,830
It's got a definite edge, which is good.

406
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:19,330
It's tiny.

407
00:18:19,970 --> 00:18:21,610
That's thin for a button, isn't it?

408
00:18:22,090 --> 00:18:22,750
It is.

409
00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:26,230
The last year, there was a button found right in here

410
00:18:26,890 --> 00:18:31,150
that turned out to be made of recycled arsenical bronze

411
00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:34,530
from the medieval period, which is pretty interesting.

412
00:18:35,050 --> 00:18:39,950
Is it possible that Tanzi has just found another clue that

413
00:18:39,950 --> 00:18:43,410
may date to the same period as the believed medieval button

414
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:47,590
and perhaps the scalloped disk and lead artifact that

415
00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:49,090
were also uncovered here?

416
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:53,750
If so, could it be more evidence that this feature was

417
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:57,330
originally constructed more than 700 years ago?

418
00:18:58,030 --> 00:19:00,370
The occupation of the round feature on lot five

419
00:19:00,370 --> 00:19:01,510
is undocumented.

420
00:19:01,510 --> 00:19:04,270
So we turn to the archaeological evidence,

421
00:19:04,670 --> 00:19:07,730
and it's telling us that the last occupation on lot five

422
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:09,630
was the end of the 1700s.

423
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:13,410
But what's really significant are the earlier artifacts

424
00:19:13,410 --> 00:19:18,010
we're finding, the ones that date from before 1750,

425
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:19,370
showing two occupations.

426
00:19:20,090 --> 00:19:21,790
But we've got lots of work left to do,

427
00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:23,730
so hopefully we're going to find even more.

428
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:27,670
We found some nice stuff, right, beads and buttons,

429
00:19:27,850 --> 00:19:29,270
just in this area.

430
00:19:29,910 --> 00:19:32,130
And that's why we're expanding this way,

431
00:19:32,830 --> 00:19:34,210
to see what else is there.

432
00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:37,070
This is the main yard, so there's just a lot going on

433
00:19:37,070 --> 00:19:37,290
here.

434
00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:40,110
High activity means they lose things,

435
00:19:40,490 --> 00:19:42,350
and they obviously have, which is cool.

436
00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:45,670
It makes you want to just keep expanding.

437
00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:46,550
Same.

438
00:19:48,370 --> 00:19:50,410
I mean, that's a great find, so I'm

439
00:19:50,410 --> 00:19:51,710
going to take it back to the lab

440
00:19:51,710 --> 00:19:54,350
and see what it's made of, and I'll let you know.

441
00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:56,010
Keep digging.

442
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:56,970
All right, see you.

443
00:19:56,970 --> 00:20:00,490
As the investigation of lot five continues,

444
00:20:02,090 --> 00:20:03,650
later that afternoon.

445
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:06,750
Top pocket find.

446
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:08,470
Let's hope it's named properly.

447
00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:08,970
Yep.

448
00:20:09,690 --> 00:20:13,250
Rick, Marty, and Craig arrive in the Money Pit area,

449
00:20:13,470 --> 00:20:17,510
where the TPM shaft has finally broken through the bedrock

450
00:20:17,510 --> 00:20:20,250
ledge and reached the solution channel.

451
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:21,950
Hey, guys.

452
00:20:22,650 --> 00:20:22,790
Hi.

453
00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:23,290
How you doing?

454
00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:24,170
Good.

455
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:25,890
OK, Terry, how deep are we?

456
00:20:25,890 --> 00:20:28,870
They're pushing the auger just a little ahead

457
00:20:28,870 --> 00:20:31,470
of the casing at this time, so they're at about 175.

458
00:20:32,010 --> 00:20:32,190
OK.

459
00:20:32,550 --> 00:20:34,030
Oh, so we're just about there.

460
00:20:34,250 --> 00:20:36,450
Exactly, because we're into the void beneath the ledge.

461
00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:37,930
That's what we're looking for.

462
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:40,690
And that's exactly what we're looking for, Marty, for sure.

463
00:20:41,410 --> 00:20:42,990
Looks like we're switching to the hammer grab there.

464
00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:44,430
Here we go.

465
00:20:45,730 --> 00:20:49,050
Because the team has now breached the solution channel,

466
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:52,090
they are now replacing the auger cutting tool

467
00:20:52,090 --> 00:20:54,350
with a hammer grab and a dig bucket

468
00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:57,850
to safely retrieve the spoils and, hopefully,

469
00:20:58,290 --> 00:20:59,370
evidence of treasure.

470
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:03,830
Just dumped another load, mate, so let's do some beeping.

471
00:21:04,110 --> 00:21:04,450
For sure.

472
00:21:06,910 --> 00:21:08,690
All right, let's find some good stuff, Rick.

473
00:21:09,410 --> 00:21:11,850
We know we've broken into the solution channel.

474
00:21:12,010 --> 00:21:15,170
If the treasure or a piece of the treasure is down there,

475
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:16,310
it should be around this depth.

476
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:18,170
Now it's getting exciting.

477
00:21:18,550 --> 00:21:20,050
I want to see what's in those drill buckets.

478
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:22,350
Oh, they saw a piece of wood.

479
00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:24,750
That's it.

480
00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:33,760
Is that wood?

481
00:21:35,860 --> 00:21:37,020
Yeah, piece of wood.

482
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,440
Yeah.

483
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,240
I'm going to go check on that piece of wood

484
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,760
just in case it's something.

485
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:43,020
OK.

486
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:46,260
Rick, I'll take that piece of wood.

487
00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:46,940
Right there.

488
00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:48,280
I'll grab it.

489
00:21:56,450 --> 00:21:57,950
What's wood doing down that deep?

490
00:21:58,450 --> 00:22:02,070
It's been a long, long time since the last wood

491
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:03,130
that we saw coming out of the hole.

492
00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:07,610
This is not like a tree that fell

493
00:22:07,610 --> 00:22:08,730
into a sinkhole or something.

494
00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:09,730
That's a clear cut.

495
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:10,050
Yeah.

496
00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:13,870
So it's been, you know, shaped or utilized by somebody.

497
00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:17,090
I guess it's possible that it pulled up just shy

498
00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:18,390
of the bottom of the chapel shaft.

499
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:18,890
Yeah.

500
00:22:19,370 --> 00:22:21,070
I mean, we could be at the edge.

501
00:22:21,670 --> 00:22:24,750
Could the team be correct that they may have encountered

502
00:22:24,750 --> 00:22:26,650
evidence of the chapel shaft?

503
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:31,850
The shaft built in 1931 in an unsuccessful attempt

504
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:35,390
to recover, I believe, a 7-foot-tall treasure vault.

505
00:22:37,030 --> 00:22:38,670
I'll see if it floats or sinks, yeah?

506
00:22:38,890 --> 00:22:41,730
If it sinks, that's a hell of a sign, isn't it, Rick?

507
00:22:42,770 --> 00:22:44,230
That's what Dan always thought.

508
00:22:44,410 --> 00:22:44,610
Yeah.

509
00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:48,190
You know, one thing that Dan Blankenship had always said

510
00:22:48,190 --> 00:22:50,030
when he brought up wood, he'd always

511
00:22:50,030 --> 00:22:51,630
test it by putting it in a bucket.

512
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:56,710
His experience was if it sank, it was old wood.

513
00:22:56,970 --> 00:22:59,190
If it was, if it tended to float, it

514
00:22:59,190 --> 00:23:01,410
was more modern searcher wood.

515
00:23:01,890 --> 00:23:03,590
So we always do that test right away.

516
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:05,410
It goes down like a rock.

517
00:23:05,810 --> 00:23:07,970
And seeing it sink right then, well,

518
00:23:08,090 --> 00:23:11,250
it's also telling me that this isn't searcher wood.

519
00:23:11,770 --> 00:23:13,190
It shouldn't be wood this deep.

520
00:23:13,390 --> 00:23:14,210
Sinks like a rock.

521
00:23:14,690 --> 00:23:16,870
So if that's the case, then maybe this wood came

522
00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:18,030
from the original money pit.

523
00:23:18,990 --> 00:23:20,030
Well, that's pretty cool.

524
00:23:20,170 --> 00:23:21,370
We're looking for a collapse.

525
00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:23,130
Virtually proves it.

526
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:26,370
Could Marty's notion be correct?

527
00:23:26,810 --> 00:23:29,110
Is it possible this wood is not from

528
00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:32,670
a searcher shaft, but perhaps the original money pit?

529
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:35,630
Bits of wood are extremely important

530
00:23:35,630 --> 00:23:39,830
because this is the first indications that the collapse,

531
00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:42,530
in fact, occurred, and that we're near it,

532
00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:44,030
and maybe the treasure, too.

533
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:46,350
I mean, this is where we detected

534
00:23:46,350 --> 00:23:47,410
a whole bunch of silver.

535
00:23:47,850 --> 00:23:49,170
We're into that end of the day.

536
00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:51,270
OK, so how deep are we?

537
00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:54,710
We are about 186, 187.

538
00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:55,890
I mean, things are moving.

539
00:23:56,010 --> 00:23:56,790
Things are still turning.

540
00:23:57,230 --> 00:23:58,510
And we're going to call it a day for today.

541
00:23:58,510 --> 00:24:00,790
We're not going to give up until we figure out

542
00:24:00,790 --> 00:24:02,230
what that hole has to tell us.

543
00:24:02,310 --> 00:24:03,250
And we need to keep going.

544
00:24:03,330 --> 00:24:04,150
We need to keep looking.

545
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:06,210
Tomorrow, you know, we're going to go

546
00:24:06,210 --> 00:24:07,430
to the bottom of the solution channel.

547
00:24:07,570 --> 00:24:08,830
We're going to see what's there, period.

548
00:24:09,290 --> 00:24:11,650
And if everybody crosses their fingers, we'll find something.

549
00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:14,270
If there's wood at the top, maybe there's gold at the bottom.

550
00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:14,990
Exactly.

551
00:24:15,470 --> 00:24:16,770
All right, we've got to get there, Adam.

552
00:24:16,910 --> 00:24:19,010
So we want to make hole tomorrow.

553
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:20,430
Yep, we're working on it.

554
00:24:20,930 --> 00:24:22,830
Okey-doke, we'll pick it up tomorrow.

555
00:24:23,050 --> 00:24:23,650
Thank you, Adam.

556
00:24:23,870 --> 00:24:24,430
Thank you, Clint.

557
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:25,290
Thanks, guys.

558
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:26,130
See you in the morning.

559
00:24:30,030 --> 00:24:31,550
How we looking, my man?

560
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:33,070
We're getting there.

561
00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:35,110
We're in the solution channel right now.

562
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:37,090
So time's going to tell.

563
00:24:37,330 --> 00:24:40,150
As a new morning dawns on Oak Island.

564
00:24:40,350 --> 00:24:43,190
All right, chaps, possibility treasure on deck.

565
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:46,950
Members of the team carefully search through the spoils being

566
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:49,030
unearthed from the TPF shaft.

567
00:24:49,450 --> 00:24:53,210
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

568
00:24:53,210 --> 00:24:54,130
We got a signal.

569
00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:55,930
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

570
00:24:55,930 --> 00:24:57,510
I don't think it's in that slop.

571
00:24:57,570 --> 00:24:58,450
I think it's underneath.

572
00:24:58,450 --> 00:24:59,050
I think it's underneath it.

573
00:25:07,690 --> 00:25:08,130
Yeah.

574
00:25:08,170 --> 00:25:08,490
Ooh.

575
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:11,450
Let me have a pinpoint, mate, because you might get it out.

576
00:25:12,250 --> 00:25:13,470
Let's see what this is.

577
00:25:20,590 --> 00:25:21,170
My hand.

578
00:25:22,290 --> 00:25:24,690
Now, this has got potential.

579
00:25:26,450 --> 00:25:29,730
I don't know what that is, but it's a little bit different.

580
00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:32,850
With a black around it, you never know what it could be.

581
00:25:33,690 --> 00:25:34,210
Yeah.

582
00:25:34,790 --> 00:25:36,010
But it's been there a while.

583
00:25:36,210 --> 00:25:37,050
Yeah, it's been there a while.

584
00:25:37,050 --> 00:25:37,210
Yeah.

585
00:25:37,550 --> 00:25:39,310
It's a probability it could be iron.

586
00:25:39,730 --> 00:25:40,030
Yeah.

587
00:25:41,150 --> 00:25:42,110
You got the depth?

588
00:25:42,910 --> 00:25:45,110
Bottom of that hole we just pulled it out of,

589
00:25:46,190 --> 00:25:47,230
193 feet deep.

590
00:25:47,610 --> 00:25:47,950
OK.

591
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:49,150
OK.

592
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:51,330
I love me chunky iron.

593
00:25:51,610 --> 00:25:55,890
When you find an old artifact encrusted in the clay,

594
00:25:56,170 --> 00:25:59,210
you know it's been there a very long time.

595
00:25:59,670 --> 00:26:02,050
What a heck of a start to the day.

596
00:26:02,850 --> 00:26:04,330
All right, guys, good morning.

597
00:26:04,570 --> 00:26:06,710
What have we got for exciting finds?

598
00:26:06,770 --> 00:26:07,530
Anything this morning?

599
00:26:07,790 --> 00:26:08,090
Yeah.

600
00:26:08,290 --> 00:26:09,550
We have got a good find.

601
00:26:09,630 --> 00:26:11,010
We just pulled it out of the clay.

602
00:26:11,410 --> 00:26:13,250
And this has got a lot of potential, mate,

603
00:26:13,390 --> 00:26:18,010
because of the color and the tone it gave me.

604
00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:20,310
This is more than likely going to be iron.

605
00:26:20,930 --> 00:26:21,370
Wow.

606
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:22,590
It's got potential.

607
00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:24,850
Yeah, this is definitely dense.

608
00:26:25,470 --> 00:26:26,430
Wow, this is old.

609
00:26:26,550 --> 00:26:27,690
We didn't, this is.

610
00:26:27,870 --> 00:26:28,470
It looks old.

611
00:26:28,930 --> 00:26:29,070
Yeah.

612
00:26:29,490 --> 00:26:30,010
How deep?

613
00:26:30,850 --> 00:26:31,290
193.

614
00:26:31,930 --> 00:26:35,830
Wow, that's way, way, way, way, way below any searcher.

615
00:26:36,450 --> 00:26:37,090
Yeah, and actually.

616
00:26:37,090 --> 00:26:38,350
God, I hope this is something neat.

617
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:41,190
Going through the bedrock plateau above it,

618
00:26:41,630 --> 00:26:43,730
if there was a collapse into this region, which

619
00:26:43,730 --> 00:26:46,790
that seems to indicate, then that could be signs

620
00:26:46,790 --> 00:26:47,970
of the original money pit.

621
00:26:48,190 --> 00:26:48,350
Yeah.

622
00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:51,770
The only reason we could be finding stuff like this

623
00:26:51,770 --> 00:26:53,810
below where searchers have been before

624
00:26:53,810 --> 00:26:57,510
is either the original works or evidence of the collapse

625
00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:58,610
of the original money pit.

626
00:26:59,050 --> 00:27:00,910
And that would be a great, great indication

627
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:02,950
that we're in the right place, and that there's really

628
00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:03,970
something going on here.

629
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,300
Billy's waving to us.

630
00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:15,240
Let's take a look.

631
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:18,740
Hey, Billy.

632
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,440
See, Craig, it looks like a piece of wood in dark brown.

633
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,040
What's more interesting, it's in dry material.

634
00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:29,960
Yeah, yeah, that whole side looks like it was up,

635
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,000
I guess, a different material.

636
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:31,760
Yeah, exactly.

637
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,780
Good eye.

638
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,680
Near the bottom of the TBF1, we found what I feel

639
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240
is solid material adjacent to loose, slushy material.

640
00:27:40,580 --> 00:27:43,640
It's a good indication that you might have an open void

641
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,640
nearby where a treasure could fall

642
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,100
into in the solution channel.

643
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,400
You doing any good?

644
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,180
We're dropping like gangbusters here.

645
00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:51,420
We just pulled up wood.

646
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,180
Look on this side.

647
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:58,540
It's all got a more of a drier sandy compared to the muck

648
00:27:58,540 --> 00:28:00,080
that they're bringing up everywhere else.

649
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,740
Yeah, I think we could be adjacent to something

650
00:28:01,740 --> 00:28:03,340
that's adjacent to an actual open void.

651
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:05,120
Yeah, that's what I think we're seeing here.

652
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,840
And that wood didn't get there itself.

653
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:10,800
No, no, that's out of place at 195 feet,

654
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,560
whatever we're at.

655
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:13,060
That's 195-ish.

656
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:13,420
Yeah.

657
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Let me see that piece of wood, please, Alex.

658
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:15,400
Yeah.

659
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,660
It's going to be dense.

660
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:19,580
It's even better.

661
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,280
That's a piece of shaped wood.

662
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,660
Yeah, there's only one explanation

663
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:25,840
that I can come up with right now for why that's down there,

664
00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:26,720
and that is the collapse.

665
00:28:26,980 --> 00:28:28,960
Yeah, we're getting another confirmation of it.

666
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:29,740
It's very, very interesting.

667
00:28:30,980 --> 00:28:31,420
Good.

668
00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:34,260
Let's bring it back to the lab.

669
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,080
Is that the deepest we've ever retrieved wood?

670
00:28:37,420 --> 00:28:38,760
Anything substantial, yeah.

671
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:41,240
If you find something in the solution channel,

672
00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:44,980
well below where any searcher ever was, if that got there,

673
00:28:45,060 --> 00:28:46,160
then the treasure could get there.

674
00:28:46,220 --> 00:28:48,920
And we have solid indications that there was a treasure here.

675
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,860
So any artifact below searcher depth is exciting.

676
00:28:53,380 --> 00:28:53,780
Hey.

677
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:54,720
Hey, Quentin.

678
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,140
Yes.

679
00:28:55,340 --> 00:28:55,980
Quentin, how you doing?

680
00:28:56,140 --> 00:28:56,680
What do we got?

681
00:28:57,020 --> 00:28:59,460
We're down to 206.5 feet.

682
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,040
So we are right down where you are hoping to be, very close.

683
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,680
We're within 10 feet of the bottom.

684
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,940
We almost have to be.

685
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,500
The bottom around here is 215 to 217, 218,

686
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:12,600
so we're getting very close.

687
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,000
Yeah.

688
00:29:13,540 --> 00:29:16,740
I mean, this is where it starts to get exciting because you're

689
00:29:16,740 --> 00:29:20,700
about to reach the bottom of the solution channel.

690
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,880
There's every hope that as this process continues

691
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,520
and the spoils come up above ground and carry metal

692
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:28,960
you'll find it.

693
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,040
Billy just scooped out another piece of wood.

694
00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:33,220
Every time you put a can in the ground,

695
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:34,960
you're hoping to find the one thing.

696
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,120
And there's all kinds of reasons to believe that we will.

697
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,140
It's a money pit stew.

698
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,880
This is pretty solid.

699
00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:42,440
I mean, look at that.

700
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,200
It's a good signal.

701
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,020
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,

702
00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:50,300
beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

703
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:50,820
Is that it?

704
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:51,240
Yep.

705
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,540
And anywhere you like.
