00:00:01,877 --> 00:00:03,545
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,545 --> 00:00:05,172
The 90 Foot Stone is
3
00:00:05,172 --> 00:00:08,008
- ‐the most important artifact.
- Rick, look at this one.
4
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:10,302
- I think we found it.
- Yeah.
5
00:00:10,302 --> 00:00:12,513
- Whoa!
- The Eye of the Swamp
6
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:14,681
is connected to the paved area.
7
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,433
‐
‐Ooh! Look at that!
8
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:19,269
That is a really old
tunneling tool.
9
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:20,604
That's awesome!
10
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:22,731
Holy crow!
11
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:25,400
‐What the heck is it?
‐This is old.
12
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,028
We found the smoking gun.The paved area is man‐made.
13
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,029
All right!
14
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:34,993
There is an islandin the North Atlantic
15
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:38,497
where people have been lookingfor an incredible treasure
16
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:41,792
for more than 200 years.
17
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:44,878
So far, they have founda stone slab
18
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:47,548
with strange symbolscarved into it,
19
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:50,384
mysterious fragmentsof human bone,
20
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:54,137
and a lead crosswhose origin may stretch back
21
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:56,723
to the daysof the Knights Templar.
22
00:00:56,723 --> 00:01:01,186
To date, six men have diedtrying to solve the mystery.
23
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:04,356
And, according to legend,
24
00:01:04,356 --> 00:01:07,442
one more will have to die
25
00:01:07,442 --> 00:01:11,071
before the treasurecan be found.
26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,126
Look at that.
27
00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:25,419
Isn't that remarkable?
28
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:26,837
Yeah.
29
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:28,672
Tell me that's natural.
30
00:01:28,672 --> 00:01:30,841
There's no way that's
natural, Rick. Look at it.
31
00:01:30,841 --> 00:01:32,968
It's just layered right on top.
32
00:01:32,968 --> 00:01:35,262
For brothersRick and Marty Lagina
33
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:38,765
and their team,the historic discovery
34
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:42,311
of a massive, paved‐stonewalkway in the Oak Island swamp
35
00:01:42,311 --> 00:01:44,896
has offered what could betheir greatest breakthrough yet
36
00:01:44,896 --> 00:01:50,444
in their quest to solve a225‐year‐old treasure mystery.
37
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:52,362
One they are eager to share
38
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:54,448
with fellow landownerTom Nolan,
39
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:58,327
whose father, Fred Nolan,spent over five decades
40
00:01:58,327 --> 00:02:01,246
tirelessly investigatingthe area.
41
00:02:01,246 --> 00:02:05,959
It was Fred's belief that notonly was the swamp man‐made,
42
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,879
but that the keys to findingthe Oak Island treasure
43
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:11,965
were hidden beneathits murky surface.
44
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,801
Strange‐looking.
45
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:17,846
And I don't know what...
what purpose?
46
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:19,973
I mean, it's not a drain system.
47
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,809
No. Too shallow for that.
‐Yeah.
48
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:24,811
And it's so uniform.
49
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,397
It's just perfectly flat.
50
00:02:27,397 --> 00:02:29,066
Let's go down and have
a little closer look at it.
51
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:30,317
All right.
52
00:02:30,317 --> 00:02:31,902
The paved stone area is of
53
00:02:31,902 --> 00:02:35,864
significant interest,and the more we dig,
54
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:37,908
the more impressivethat structure becomes,
55
00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:41,119
and there hasto be a reason as to the why.
56
00:02:41,119 --> 00:02:44,623
And what is its purpose?
57
00:02:44,623 --> 00:02:47,042
Look, look. The water's
washing that all off.
58
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:50,712
‐It's all, like, little stone
placed on big stone?
‐‐
59
00:02:50,712 --> 00:02:52,964
A lot of it's the same type
of rock, isn't it?
60
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:54,966
It is. A lot of it is this.
61
00:02:54,966 --> 00:02:57,010
Ooh.
‐It's graywacke.
62
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,846
I can't believe
you guys found this.
63
00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:03,100
It's like
you're standing on a paved road
64
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,559
in the middle of the bog.
65
00:03:04,559 --> 00:03:06,228
It's certainly wide enough.
66
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:09,106
Yeah.
‐I mean, it's so level.
67
00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:12,442
If humans didn't do that,
how is that possible?
68
00:03:12,442 --> 00:03:15,946
I've seen some strange things
in the swamp, but this is...
69
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:18,407
I don't know. I don't know
how you explain this.
70
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:20,117
I don't, either.
71
00:03:20,117 --> 00:03:22,744
I wonder what
your father would have said.
72
00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:24,371
He'd be amazed by this
73
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:27,249
'cause, I mean, you can't help
but look at it and say,
74
00:03:27,249 --> 00:03:28,875
"What the heck is it?"
75
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,752
Nobody knew the swamp
like he did.
76
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:34,297
But he never had the ability
to do this to the swamp, so,
77
00:03:34,297 --> 00:03:37,008
you know, this is taking this
to a whole different level,
78
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:39,219
‐what we're doing.
‐Yeah.
79
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:41,555
I think there are answers
in the swamp,
80
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:45,892
but we may not be attuned
as of yet to those answers.
81
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:48,603
I.e., is there some grand scheme
82
00:03:48,603 --> 00:03:50,564
larger than what we hadat first anticipated
83
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:52,357
about Oak Island?
84
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:56,027
Some sort of really intricateand involved mystery
85
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:59,781
that surpassesthe so‐called Money Pit?
86
00:03:59,781 --> 00:04:02,117
Um, it's possible.
87
00:04:02,117 --> 00:04:04,911
I always said it was worked,
88
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:06,913
somebody worked the swamp.
89
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:10,250
Well, you look at this,
pretty hard to say
90
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,669
‐somebody didn't work the swamp.
‐Pretty hard to say. Yeah.
91
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:14,796
But to what end?
Like you say,
92
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:16,923
it's the questions
it leaves behind.
93
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:18,467
I think, let's try
94
00:04:18,467 --> 00:04:20,677
to get Dr. Spooner
to take a look at it in the dry.
95
00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:23,346
Yeah, take a look at the face
and see what he thinks of it.
96
00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:25,265
What is going on here?
97
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:28,226
None of it makes any sense.
98
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:34,274
Following his meetingwith Tom Nolan at the swamp...
99
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,360
Doug and I madea little road trip
100
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,154
to Fortress Louisbourg...
101
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:41,364
...Rick has calledhis brother Marty
102
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:44,159
and other members of the teamto the war room
103
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:46,536
to share important information
104
00:04:46,536 --> 00:04:49,289
that he and Oak Islandhistorian Doug Crowell
105
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:51,625
found during their recent trip
106
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:54,127
to an 18th‐centuryFrench fortress.
107
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:57,631
One of the reasons
for going to Louisbourg was that
108
00:04:57,631 --> 00:05:00,383
we would see some semblance of
109
00:05:00,383 --> 00:05:03,929
any structure that looks like
the structures on Oak Island.
110
00:05:03,929 --> 00:05:07,182
Those buildings‐‐
the‐the ancillary features,
111
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:11,144
the tunnels under the earth‐‐
I mean, it was remarkable to see
112
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:13,563
‐what they had accomplished.
‐Yeah.
113
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:15,982
One week ago,
114
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:18,485
after the team obtainedscientific proof
115
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:20,695
that the wooden structurerecently unearthed
116
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:23,990
at Smith's Cove was builtin 1741...
117
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:26,368
Pretty impressive.
118
00:05:26,368 --> 00:05:29,663
...Rick and Doug traveledsome 300 miles northeast
119
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:32,374
to an 18th‐centuryFrench military fort
120
00:05:32,374 --> 00:05:34,376
in the town of Louisbourg.
121
00:05:34,376 --> 00:05:38,171
The data supported a theorypresented earlier this year
122
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:40,841
by naval historian Chipp Reid,
123
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:43,552
who believesthat a vast French treasure
124
00:05:43,552 --> 00:05:45,929
may have been movedfrom the fortress to Oak Island
125
00:05:45,929 --> 00:05:49,599
during the early 1740s.
126
00:05:49,599 --> 00:05:52,894
Rick, come look at this one.
127
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:55,772
Incredibly, it waswhile touring the fortress
128
00:05:55,772 --> 00:05:58,650
that Rick and Doug were showna centuries‐old,
129
00:05:58,650 --> 00:06:02,571
stone‐paved flooding system,one eerily similar
130
00:06:02,571 --> 00:06:05,490
to the possible pathway thatthe team has just uncovered
131
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:08,618
in the Oak Island swamp.
132
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:11,997
So, we have a few pictures
of what we saw up there.
133
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:15,417
As we were being shown around,
134
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:18,837
Rick had asked if there was
any part of the fortress
135
00:06:18,837 --> 00:06:21,715
‐that was original,
that wasn't a recreation.
‐‐
136
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:24,718
And this particular corner
of the inner courtyard
137
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:26,636
was original,
138
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:30,056
and inside
this particular room,
139
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:31,892
this is what the floor
looked like.
140
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,269
- Wow.
- That's interesting.
141
00:06:34,269 --> 00:06:36,938
This whole system seemed
to be drainage.
142
00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:38,773
There was an actual small tunnel
143
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:41,067
that went out
under the rock wall.
144
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:44,112
So, there's another picture
of the floor.
145
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:46,406
- The rocks, though...
- The rock, yeah.
146
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:48,241
MARTY
...are very similar
to our paved area.
147
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:49,743
- Yeah.
- Yes.
148
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:51,453
Well, don't we have
multiple layers like this
149
00:06:51,453 --> 00:06:52,954
actually stacked
on top of each other?
150
00:06:52,954 --> 00:06:55,915
We‐we do have
multiple layers here. Now this,
151
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,460
you know, from what we could
tell, was only one layer,
152
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:01,171
‐but they were far
from an even floor.
‐
153
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:03,465
But that was probably
the closest thing we saw to
154
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:05,216
‐our paved area.
‐Yeah.
155
00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:06,968
- ‐That is close.
- Yeah.
156
00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:08,595
Could Rick and Doug
157
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:10,180
have discovered a link
158
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:12,849
between the 18th‐centuryFrench fortress
159
00:07:12,849 --> 00:07:15,101
and a massiveengineering effort
160
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:18,271
that took placein the swamp centuries ago?
161
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:21,274
And if so,could it be further proof
162
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:24,444
that the swamp may have beenartificially created,
163
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:27,989
and possibly usedto hide a stolen treasure ship,
164
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:30,241
as the late Fred Nolanbelieved?
165
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:33,787
What's this?
166
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:37,082
This is an historic photo
the historian provided us
167
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:41,294
that just shows a platform
of rocks on top of the soil.
168
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:46,841
This floor is
several stones deep,
169
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:49,010
and that is
original construction.
170
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:51,346
That's the way it was
in the day.
171
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:52,889
Yeah, looks just like it.
172
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:54,516
Yeah.
173
00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:56,559
That's remarkable.
174
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:58,645
Yeah.
175
00:08:00,772 --> 00:08:03,149
All right. Well, cool.
I mean, I‐I find that
176
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,485
to be very interesting,
actually.
177
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:07,654
‐Yeah.
‐MARTY; You know,
we're supposed to be
178
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:10,865
looking around to figure out
the significance of 1741.
179
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:14,035
‐Yeah.
‐If the French were here
180
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:16,996
for some repository, and they
were using the same technique
181
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:20,834
for a paved area
for purposes unknown,
182
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:23,837
- ‐well, that fits.
- Absolutely.
183
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:28,508
So,
as we were being shown around,
184
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,510
we came into their armory.
185
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:33,012
And there are some cannonballs
there in the background.
186
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:34,764
‐
But look at the size
of that cart.
187
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:36,349
That's one of the things I know
188
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,852
we had some discussions
here about‐‐ the paved area
189
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,729
‐there be too rough for a cart.
‐Would have to be big wheels.
190
00:08:40,729 --> 00:08:42,522
- ‐Yeah.
- These are big wheels.
191
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,899
‐These wheels are probably
five feet tall.
‐
192
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:46,651
See, look how big
those carts were
193
00:08:46,651 --> 00:08:48,570
that were in use
in that time period.
194
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:51,072
That cart.
Maybe they used carts here?
195
00:08:51,072 --> 00:08:53,199
- ‐Yeah.
- That would make sense
196
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:54,576
that somebody would use carts
197
00:08:54,576 --> 00:08:56,244
like that to cart something,
198
00:08:56,244 --> 00:08:58,872
whether it be depositor,
I don't know.
199
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:00,874
The floor in Louisbourg
looks identical
200
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,293
to our paved area
out here in the swamp.
201
00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:04,878
I mean,
I'd say virtually identical.
202
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:07,088
‐Pretty much.
‐And what else did he find?
203
00:09:07,088 --> 00:09:09,924
That‐that the sort of
transportation of the day
204
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:12,218
involved using
these big wheeled carts.
205
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:14,095
They would function beautifully
206
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:17,057
on a cobbly thing
like we found in the swamp.
207
00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:20,685
I think that these paved areas
208
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:23,813
in the swamp and the paved areas
in the fort
209
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:27,901
are eerily similar, and...
I've‐I've got my toes tingling.
210
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,402
I want to get out there
and go metal‐detect it.
211
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:31,488
I‐I was just thinking
you want to get back
212
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:33,114
‐to metal detecting,
so, let's call it.
‐Yeah.
213
00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:35,533
Good trip, you guys.Excellent data.
214
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:44,250
Following their meeting
215
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:45,251
in the Oak Island war room...
216
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:47,587
Hello!
‐Hey.
217
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:50,632
...Rick Lagina and BillyGerhardt return to the swamp,
218
00:09:50,632 --> 00:09:54,094
where they are joined bygeoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner.
219
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,554
They are eager for Dr. Spooner
220
00:09:56,554 --> 00:10:00,266
to examine the mysteriouspaved area now that
221
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,268
it has been more fully drained,
222
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,521
in the hopesof finding any evidence
223
00:10:04,521 --> 00:10:07,023
that might help determinewhen the structure was built
224
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:09,776
and for what purpose.
225
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:12,612
Holy crow!
226
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,280
What are we looking at?
227
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,491
I think something
really important here.
228
00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:19,285
The key thing is,
I need to find wood
229
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:22,288
around the rocks,
and I need to have
230
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:24,374
an indication that the rocks
were interacting with the wood.
231
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:27,252
‐So, you see this stick here,
right?
‐‐
232
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:28,962
‐And you see this rock here.
‐‐
233
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:31,840
And so,
if we move this rock away,
234
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,550
what's happened to the stick?
235
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:35,385
Yeah, it's squished.
236
00:10:35,385 --> 00:10:36,886
It's smashed by the rock.
237
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:38,555
You see how it fit
right like that?
238
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:41,975
So, what that tells me is that
239
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:44,477
these rocks couldn't have been
laid down by a glacier.
240
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:45,645
‐Right?
‐Why not?
241
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:48,231
Because you wouldn't have
a stick. No trees.
242
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:49,607
‐No wood.
‐Right.
243
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:51,860
And that can't be done
by anything natural.
244
00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:55,947
So, the contention
that this is some kind
245
00:10:55,947 --> 00:10:58,158
of placed stone platform,
246
00:10:58,158 --> 00:10:59,659
I don't think
there's any question.
247
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:00,869
- ‐Really?
- Yeah, yeah.
248
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:02,370
I guess
249
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:04,664
I'm a little bit happy
that the swamp
250
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,374
really did yield
something significant
251
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:08,835
because I put everybodythrough the gristmill
252
00:11:08,835 --> 00:11:12,172
about, "It's not over.We've got to keep looking."
253
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:14,132
And now it...
254
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:15,550
it turns out that, you know,
255
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:17,677
there's
some interesting data there.
256
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:20,763
Now, I'm going to ask you
the‐the question
257
00:11:20,763 --> 00:11:22,974
I always ask Gary Drayton.
258
00:11:22,974 --> 00:11:24,934
What's your...
what's your guess? How old?
259
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:26,728
When was this work done?
260
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:29,564
It's not Mr. Nolan's time.
261
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:31,858
It's not Mr. Blankenship's time.
262
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:33,860
It's way before that time.
263
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,154
It's old, it's old, it's old.
264
00:11:36,154 --> 00:11:37,697
Here's the thing.
265
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,283
This certainly predates
the discovery story, right?
266
00:11:40,283 --> 00:11:43,077
‐Yeah.
‐And the discovery story
267
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:46,247
‐essentially predates
habitation here.
‐Yeah.
268
00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:47,624
- ‐Yeah.
- So,
269
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:49,417
who did it and why?
270
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,002
To me, here's the key.
271
00:11:51,002 --> 00:11:54,172
This stick will tell me
when that stone was placed.
272
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:57,133
If you date the stick,
you know when that happened.
273
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:58,718
Finding evidence
274
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:01,221
that the mysteriouspaved stone path is,
275
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:03,223
in fact, a man‐made structure,
276
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,058
one possibly built
277
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:08,770
prior to the discoveryof the Money Pit in 1795,
278
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:10,730
is an exciting development.
279
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:13,983
If Dr. Spooner's assessmentcan be confirmed
280
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:16,402
through furtherscientific analysis,
281
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:19,614
the team may be one step closerto dating
282
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:22,283
this potentially ancientconstruct.
283
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,452
Dr. Spooner has
284
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:26,412
"found the smoking gun."
285
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,498
The paved area is man‐made.
286
00:12:28,498 --> 00:12:31,584
This is probably...Well, I won't say
287
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:33,586
it's the most importantdiscovery on Oak Island,
288
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,214
but it certainly is up there.
289
00:12:36,214 --> 00:12:39,092
The swamp is proving
to be more interesting
290
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,469
and more, enigmatic
291
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:44,180
than, perhaps,
even the Money Pit.
292
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:47,350
You know what? I'm in awe.
293
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:49,811
The work you've done
and continue to do...
294
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:51,354
All we can do is say thank you.
295
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:54,274
But we very much look forward
to that date, certainly.
296
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,901
I know that Marty and Craig...
All of us are really...
297
00:12:56,901 --> 00:12:58,987
are gonna be
very interested in that date.
298
00:12:58,987 --> 00:13:00,780
But we've got a lot of work
ahead of us, Bill.
299
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,323
- Yeah. Yeah. No problem.
- Thank you.
300
00:13:02,323 --> 00:13:03,908
Appreciate all the help.
301
00:13:06,995 --> 00:13:11,082
One day afterobtaining scientific evidence
302
00:13:11,082 --> 00:13:12,709
that the paved stone area
303
00:13:12,709 --> 00:13:15,420
is a potentially ancient,man‐made feature,
304
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:16,963
Jack Begley
305
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:19,465
and metal detection expertGary Drayton,
306
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:22,885
along with heavy equipmentoperator Billy Gerhardt,
307
00:13:22,885 --> 00:13:27,181
are eager to resume diggingnear the mysterious structure
308
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:29,642
to see where it might lead.
309
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:31,894
You have to define the area,
310
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:34,147
the‐the complete extent
of the paved area.
311
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,733
Otherwise,it's just patchwork guesswork.
312
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:40,653
We have to knowits exact physical dimensions
313
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:43,406
because Dr. Spooneris proposing
314
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:45,491
that it predates the discovery
of the Money Pit.
315
00:13:46,534 --> 00:13:48,161
- ‐Hey, Billy.
- Hey, Gary.
316
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:50,496
So, what's the plan for today?
These spoils?
317
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:53,249
Yeah. We'll work
at these spoils and try
318
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:56,335
to see if we can find the extent
of the paved area.
319
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:57,920
If you do a little area,
320
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,173
I'll pull it back,
and then we‐we'll keep moving.
321
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:02,508
Right on, mate.
322
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:05,595
As Billy carefully excavatesthe area,
323
00:14:05,595 --> 00:14:07,638
Gary Draytonwill search the spoils
324
00:14:07,638 --> 00:14:09,223
with a metal detector
325
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:11,768
for any important cluesor artifacts.
326
00:14:13,436 --> 00:14:15,980
We got to find
some metals today.
327
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:20,359
Yeah, this looks natural.
328
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:21,986
It's just clay.
329
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:26,449
So, when you dig down into it,
there's no rocks.
330
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:31,204
If you want to check
right here, Gary,
331
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:34,624
then I'll peel that down.
Maybe we'll dig another hole.
332
00:14:34,624 --> 00:14:36,626
Okay.
333
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,922
Nothing here, mate.
334
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:43,591
Yeah, take it
a little bit further.
335
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:45,468
It's a unique opportunity
336
00:14:45,468 --> 00:14:48,554
to metal detectaround this paved area.
337
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,389
My theory is
338
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:52,100
that this was used
339
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:55,561
as a place to load
and unload things,
340
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:59,524
and it's a great placeto trap coins and artifacts.
341
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:01,943
Anything lost in that area
342
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:03,820
is still gonna be there.
343
00:15:05,113 --> 00:15:07,156
Where are the rocks?
344
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:09,283
There's not much
of that up here.
345
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:11,869
It's just mostly small sticks.
346
00:15:11,869 --> 00:15:13,538
It's falsing off some twigs.
347
00:15:13,538 --> 00:15:15,289
Yeah.
348
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:17,708
You keep digging this out, mate.
349
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,556
Check all this, Gary?
‐Yep.
350
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:38,354
Whoa! Do you see that?
351
00:15:38,354 --> 00:15:40,106
Finally!
352
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:41,649
That's awesome.
353
00:15:41,649 --> 00:15:43,276
If you look
in the end of the hole,
354
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,528
it looks like rocks
on top of rocks there, right?
355
00:15:45,528 --> 00:15:47,613
Yeah, it does look
stacked there, Billy.
356
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:49,198
We might have
to jump down and...
357
00:15:49,198 --> 00:15:50,616
you know, sort of, like,
clean the side off.
358
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:52,201
Scrape it off a little bit?
359
00:15:52,201 --> 00:15:54,162
Sure.
360
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:56,289
‐
You don't have
to say that twice, Billy.
361
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:57,582
Jack's down there.
362
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,961
See, the‐the rock
where your shovel just touched,
363
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:04,380
Jack, is suspended
by the other rock, right?
364
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,549
Yeah. Yeah, they're laid on top
365
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,342
of the natural layer.
366
00:16:08,342 --> 00:16:11,470
I also notice
there's vegetation,
367
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,514
as in wood branches
368
00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:15,558
on top of the rocks
but not below them.
369
00:16:15,558 --> 00:16:19,353
They were put there
a long, long time ago.
370
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:22,565
That's probably a continuation
371
00:16:22,565 --> 00:16:24,650
‐of the paved area,
by the look of it.
Yeah.
372
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,152
Could it be
373
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:28,654
that the paved stone areais even larger
374
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:32,033
and extends much furtherthan previously thought?
375
00:16:32,033 --> 00:16:34,118
You look at the area
376
00:16:34,118 --> 00:16:35,661
of the paved area,
and it's not just
377
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:37,663
what we defined it as.
It looks like
378
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,624
it extends out even further.
379
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:41,542
And there's got to bea reason for it,
380
00:16:41,542 --> 00:16:43,252
cause it's been buriedin the swamp
381
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:45,338
for at leasta couple hundred years.
382
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:47,673
So, what are all these rocksdoing here,
383
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:50,843
and why are they so even?Why is it level?
384
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,261
There's so many other questions.
385
00:16:52,261 --> 00:16:54,889
It does look very similar,
386
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:57,642
but we got to dig up more
of the area.
387
00:16:57,642 --> 00:16:59,352
Yeah.
388
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:00,770
We'll have to dig up
a little bigger spot.
389
00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:02,063
- ‐Yeah.
- Yeah.
390
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:03,439
Okay. Let's keep going, then.
391
00:17:05,942 --> 00:17:08,694
Something went on in this area.
392
00:17:12,657 --> 00:17:14,575
We should see if we can
393
00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:16,035
- ‐find the edge where...
- Yeah.
394
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,662
If it's extended into land,
395
00:17:17,662 --> 00:17:19,872
- ‐try to see where at. Yeah.
- Right.
396
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:22,083
We could make a hole
just up‐up here
397
00:17:22,083 --> 00:17:23,626
to see if it exists.
398
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:25,419
After hearing
399
00:17:25,419 --> 00:17:28,130
that Jack, Gary and Billyhave unearthed
400
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:31,050
more of the mysteriouspaved stone structure,
401
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:34,887
Rick Lagina, Craig Testerand surveyor Steve Guptill
402
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:36,764
arrive at the Oak Island swamp
403
00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:39,183
to inspect their progressfirsthand.
404
00:17:41,811 --> 00:17:44,564
Craig, you got a good look
at the other
405
00:17:44,564 --> 00:17:47,733
‐stone structures
over there, right?
‐Yeah.
406
00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:50,486
You can see
there's‐there's rocks here.
407
00:17:50,486 --> 00:17:52,113
It's a little muddy,
408
00:17:52,113 --> 00:17:53,906
but it would resemble
409
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,283
over on this side.
410
00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:58,077
You can see
the normal gray clay,
411
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,954
and then you had orange
under it.
412
00:17:59,954 --> 00:18:03,416
Then you got all these big rocks
stacked on top.
413
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:05,418
Steve,
414
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:07,378
can you get down there
and take an elevation
415
00:18:07,378 --> 00:18:08,921
and see if it mimics that?
416
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,506
Yeah.
417
00:18:15,469 --> 00:18:18,472
That there
is a foot below sea level.
418
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:20,224
And the paved area's
419
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:22,977
two feet, on average, below.
420
00:18:22,977 --> 00:18:24,979
- ‐Quite consistent.
- This, definitely,
421
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:27,607
I would say,
is very much like that.
422
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:29,900
It's got that raw profile.
423
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,863
Take your bar
and just probe right there.
424
00:18:34,864 --> 00:18:37,950
Yeah. There's...
425
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:39,368
There's rocks there.
426
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:43,039
I'd be interested to know
427
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:46,876
how far out in this direction
this paved area goes
428
00:18:46,876 --> 00:18:48,294
towards the Eye of the Swamp.
429
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:49,837
Maybe the Eye of the Swamp
430
00:18:49,837 --> 00:18:52,256
is connected to this paved area.
431
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,802
Here we go.
432
00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:58,888
While probing near the apex
433
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:01,724
of the triangle‐shaped swampearlier this year...
434
00:19:01,724 --> 00:19:03,434
‐
‐That's solid.
435
00:19:03,434 --> 00:19:05,561
‐Yeah, that's a good one.
‐...Marty Lagina
436
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:07,521
and members of the teamdiscovered
437
00:19:07,521 --> 00:19:10,483
an unusual circle of stones,which the team
438
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:13,152
has dubbedthe Eye of the Swamp.
439
00:19:14,195 --> 00:19:15,696
It is a formation
440
00:19:15,696 --> 00:19:18,157
that they believecould represent
441
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,159
the so‐called all‐seeing eye,
442
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:22,870
a prominent symbolfor both the Freemasons
443
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:25,539
and their predecessors,the Knights Templar.
444
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:27,833
But couldthis mysterious feature
445
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:31,212
and the paved stone areareally be connected?
446
00:19:31,212 --> 00:19:34,173
And, if so, for what purpose?
447
00:19:35,549 --> 00:19:39,220
From a mid location
on the paved area
448
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,723
to the Eye is 150 feet.
449
00:19:42,723 --> 00:19:44,350
So, I don't know
if that's a correlation.
450
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:45,893
But when we were out there,
451
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:47,353
the rocks just feel similar.
452
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:48,854
This is the type
453
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,773
of formations we're looking for
454
00:19:50,773 --> 00:19:52,400
to show us of human activity.
455
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,652
And as long as we continue
to dig,
456
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:57,571
hopefully they dropped something
like in Smith's Cove.
457
00:19:57,571 --> 00:19:59,156
There's a good chance
458
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:00,866
around here there's gonna be
459
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,577
some sort of indication
of who built it.
460
00:20:03,577 --> 00:20:05,538
I'm hoping
it's a yellow brick road.
461
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:08,708
Golden brick road.
462
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:10,960
We need to start
463
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,087
remediating some of these areas,
so, Billy,
464
00:20:13,087 --> 00:20:16,090
as you walk the excavator out,
you can level that area off.
465
00:20:16,090 --> 00:20:18,884
And then, hopefully,
the most interesting thing
466
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:21,262
still lies in front of us.
So...
467
00:20:21,262 --> 00:20:23,556
Got a lot of work to do.
We better get after it.
468
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:24,890
‐All right, mate.
‐Okay.
469
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,729
Later that same day,
470
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:32,898
as the investigationat the swamp continues...
471
00:20:33,983 --> 00:20:35,234
Hey, Terry.
472
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,319
‐Hi, guys. How you doing?
‐Good, good.
473
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:39,071
Craig Tester joins
474
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,449
Oak Island historianCharles Barkhouse
475
00:20:41,449 --> 00:20:45,202
and geologist Terry Mathesonat the Money Pit area
476
00:20:45,202 --> 00:20:47,246
to resumethe core drilling operation
477
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,790
near the site of Shaft Two.
478
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:51,959
The shaft,which was constructed
479
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:55,921
just 14 feet from the Money Pitby searchers in 1805,
480
00:20:55,921 --> 00:21:00,009
featured a horizontal tunnelat a depth of 110 feet
481
00:21:00,009 --> 00:21:03,053
which collapsed from floodingjust two feet
482
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:05,931
from the locationof the original treasure shaft.
483
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,433
‐Whoa!
‐We got some wood here.
484
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:08,517
Whoa!
485
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:09,769
How 'bout that?
486
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,020
While drilling
487
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:12,813
at this same sitetwo weeks ago,
488
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,940
Marty and members of the team
489
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,818
discoveredunusual ax‐cut wood
490
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:20,529
at a depth of 106 feet.
491
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:21,822
- ‐That's very old.
- Yeah.
492
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:22,948
Think maybe
we're just skimming down
493
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,701
the outside of the potential
Money Pit shaft.
494
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,537
While they are
495
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:29,872
currently awaiting test results
496
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:31,624
on that wood sample,
497
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:33,626
Craig and the teamare continuing to drill
498
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:36,712
in the hopes that the next corethey bring to the surface
499
00:21:36,712 --> 00:21:39,173
may have hitthe Money Pit itself
500
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:41,300
and the fabled treasure vault.
501
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:45,513
We are at G10.5,
which puts us...
502
00:21:45,513 --> 00:21:47,473
right there.
503
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:49,266
We're very close
to the center, so...
504
00:21:49,266 --> 00:21:50,601
- Yeah.
- What we're looking for
505
00:21:50,601 --> 00:21:52,228
is the Money Pit.
506
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,146
If Shaft Two,
507
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:56,899
which we feel we found here,
and the tunnel comes here,
508
00:21:56,899 --> 00:21:59,652
14 foot puts it
in this area somewhere.
509
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:00,861
Yep.
‐And so we're looking
510
00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:02,321
just west of there.
511
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,156
And we're just about five feet
512
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:05,825
from where we found the wood
that we thought
513
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:07,743
might've been the wall
of the re‐cribbed Money Pit.
514
00:22:07,743 --> 00:22:08,869
Yeah.
515
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:11,455
So, anyway, there it is.
516
00:22:11,455 --> 00:22:13,874
How deep are we going
with this one, Craig?
517
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:16,210
We'll follow this down
to 110 feet.
518
00:22:16,210 --> 00:22:19,129
It's what we get below that
that really matters, so...
519
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:20,965
That‐That's when it's gonna get
interesting. Yeah.
520
00:22:22,716 --> 00:22:24,301
- Knock on wood.
- It's what we want to find.
521
00:22:24,301 --> 00:22:25,427
Yeah.
522
00:22:37,648 --> 00:22:38,858
Whoa!
523
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,442
Easy!
524
00:22:40,442 --> 00:22:42,862
Wonder how far that went.
525
00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:59,003
Well, this'll be interesting,
526
00:22:59,003 --> 00:23:01,046
'cause it should've cored.
527
00:23:06,677 --> 00:23:09,138
Okay. Where's it all fit in?
528
00:23:09,138 --> 00:23:13,225
I started coring at 109,
529
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:17,146
and I cored it to 119
530
00:23:17,146 --> 00:23:21,108
and it didn't feel
like hardly any resistance.
531
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:24,737
News that the sonic drill bithas begun advancing faster
532
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:26,614
and much easierthrough the earth
533
00:23:26,614 --> 00:23:28,949
is a potentially significantdevelopment,
534
00:23:28,949 --> 00:23:31,744
one that could meanthat the team has intercepted
535
00:23:31,744 --> 00:23:35,497
an open voidor cavern deep underground.
536
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:37,666
Let's go with that, then.
537
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:40,628
Your feeling is that might be in
and around 120, right there?
538
00:23:40,628 --> 00:23:42,004
I'd say 125.
539
00:23:49,678 --> 00:23:51,472
What you thinking, boss?
540
00:23:51,472 --> 00:23:53,849
I'm thinking
probably undisturbed.
541
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:55,601
This is massively bedded,
542
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:57,311
limestone‐rich,
543
00:23:57,311 --> 00:23:58,771
you know, crumbly material.
544
00:23:58,771 --> 00:24:00,940
It is never gonna hold together.
545
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:02,524
So, this is not fill, right?
546
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:03,692
No, this is not fill.
547
00:24:03,692 --> 00:24:04,944
This is, ‐‐
There's‐‐
548
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:06,987
You can see
primary bedding there.
549
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:09,448
It's not the original Money Pit
if we're in virgin ground.
550
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:10,449
Yeah.
551
00:24:15,537 --> 00:24:17,456
The bad news is
552
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:20,793
it can't be... the Money Pit.
553
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:22,503
‐Yeah.
‐But it being very loose
554
00:24:22,503 --> 00:24:24,546
and drilling so easily, um,
555
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:27,299
we've got to be near something,
556
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:29,843
whether it's the‐the Money Pit
557
00:24:29,843 --> 00:24:32,930
or something that‐that's
loosened up the ground.
558
00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:34,014
Yeah.
559
00:24:34,014 --> 00:24:36,392
Although the core sample
560
00:24:36,392 --> 00:24:39,311
the team has obtainedcontains undisturbed soil,
561
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:42,648
indicating they have missedthe original Money Pit,
562
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:44,358
it is Craigand Terry's assessment
563
00:24:44,358 --> 00:24:46,902
that the loose earththey are drilling through
564
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:50,072
is due to past human activitynearby,
565
00:24:50,072 --> 00:24:53,242
meaning their targetcould be just inches away.
566
00:24:53,242 --> 00:24:55,244
We might as well stop here
and move over
567
00:24:55,244 --> 00:24:58,080
‐a foot and a half or so.
‐Okay.
568
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,582
Okay. Let's see what happens.
569
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:07,214
As a new day begins,
570
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:09,550
Rick Laginaand members of the team
571
00:25:09,550 --> 00:25:11,844
have traveledsome 52 miles northeast
572
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:14,763
of Oak Island tothe Dartmouth Heritage Museum
573
00:25:14,763 --> 00:25:17,182
in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
574
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:19,184
Can you think of a better day
to try and solve
575
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:20,728
the mystery
of the 90 Foot Stone?
576
00:25:20,728 --> 00:25:22,813
I'm hoping
the first bucket finds it.
577
00:25:22,813 --> 00:25:25,190
They are eagerto follow up on a tip
578
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:27,192
Rick received earlier this year
579
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:29,862
from area residentKevin Rideout
580
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,739
concerningthe possible whereabouts
581
00:25:31,739 --> 00:25:35,242
of the legendary 90 Foot Stone.
582
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:39,872
Discovered in 1804 by membersof the Onslow Company
583
00:25:39,872 --> 00:25:42,207
when they excavatedthe original Money Pit
584
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:44,084
down to the 90‐foot level,
585
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:48,255
the stone was reported to bea flat, olive‐colored slab
586
00:25:48,255 --> 00:25:51,216
carved with strange,rune‐like symbols.
587
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:55,262
Although later translatedto read "Forty feet below
588
00:25:55,262 --> 00:25:57,765
two million pounds are buried,"
589
00:25:57,765 --> 00:26:00,517
there are some who believethat these symbols
590
00:26:00,517 --> 00:26:03,395
could be coded instructionson how to shut off
591
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:07,066
the booby traps that feedseawater into the Money Pit.
592
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:09,943
Unfortunately,no photographs or rubbings
593
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:12,404
of the carvingswere ever taken,
594
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:14,698
and the stone itselfhas been missing
595
00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:17,242
for more than 100 years.
596
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:19,411
We looked out from that window,
597
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:20,954
and it was pointed out to me
598
00:26:20,954 --> 00:26:23,582
this side of the rhododendron,
right here.
599
00:26:23,582 --> 00:26:25,959
But according to Kevin Rideout,
600
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:28,962
the stone was shown to himover 40 years ago
601
00:26:28,962 --> 00:26:31,924
while visitingthe Dartmouth Heritage Museum,
602
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:34,134
where it wasreportedly embedded in the yard
603
00:26:34,134 --> 00:26:36,428
behind the property.
604
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,931
‐Let's get started.
‐Yeah.
605
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:42,267
Having just obtaineda government permit to dig
606
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:43,852
on the museum grounds,
607
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:46,105
Rick and the teamare hopeful
608
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:48,107
they will finally recoverwhat could be
609
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:51,944
one of Oak Island'smost important artifacts.
610
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,779
Hey, Bill.
611
00:26:53,779 --> 00:26:57,032
I'd dig up what we talked about,
maybe a 20 by 20.
612
00:26:57,032 --> 00:26:58,784
‐Yeah.
‐You know, I mean,
613
00:26:58,784 --> 00:26:59,993
we'll want a good understanding
614
00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:01,870
of what‐what the ground
looks like.
615
00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:03,122
‐Okay?
‐Yeah.
616
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:04,790
While Rick and the team
617
00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:07,084
begin their search,
618
00:27:07,084 --> 00:27:09,878
Jack Begleyand metal detection expert
619
00:27:09,878 --> 00:27:12,673
Gary Draytonare beginning to search near
620
00:27:12,673 --> 00:27:14,383
the so‐called Eye of the Swamp
621
00:27:14,383 --> 00:27:17,344
for any important cluesor artifacts.
622
00:27:17,344 --> 00:27:19,263
‐
‐Got a target, mate.
623
00:27:19,263 --> 00:27:20,889
Right in there.
624
00:27:25,352 --> 00:27:27,271
Ooh, I like this matrix.
625
00:27:27,271 --> 00:27:29,147
Nice and thick.
626
00:27:29,147 --> 00:27:32,651
Thick enough to trap good coins
and artifacts.
627
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:35,821
I think I got it.
628
00:27:35,821 --> 00:27:38,073
Yeah.
It's moving.
629
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:41,702
Ooh!
630
00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:45,330
‐Wait.
‐Now, look at that!
631
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:47,457
That is a really old pick.
632
00:27:47,457 --> 00:27:49,585
You don't think
that this is Fred Nolan's?
633
00:27:49,585 --> 00:27:50,919
No, I don't think
it's Fred Nolan's,
634
00:27:50,919 --> 00:27:52,212
'cause it is fairly chunky.
635
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:54,006
It's old,
because it's so heavy.
636
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:58,176
And, look, a more modern one
would be more round.
637
00:27:58,176 --> 00:28:00,554
This is that nice oval shape.
638
00:28:00,554 --> 00:28:02,764
‐‐
‐Because back in the day,
639
00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:04,349
they would have a wooden...
640
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:07,728
handle,
and they would shave it down.
641
00:28:07,728 --> 00:28:10,564
Wouldn't be like
a machine‐made, round one.
642
00:28:10,564 --> 00:28:12,316
And this is cool.
643
00:28:12,316 --> 00:28:13,483
It's got that‐‐
644
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:15,527
The‐the tines
645
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:19,114
or the picks are really short,
646
00:28:19,114 --> 00:28:21,116
so you would have used this
for tunneling.
647
00:28:21,116 --> 00:28:23,452
'Cause you know what
a big old pickax is like.
648
00:28:23,452 --> 00:28:25,704
Normally,
it's got two really big
649
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,247
‐pick parts to it.
‐‐
650
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:28,540
This hasn't.
651
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:31,668
This is more
of a‐a tunneling tool.
652
00:28:32,961 --> 00:28:35,380
An old iron pickax
653
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:37,466
possibly used for tunneling
654
00:28:37,466 --> 00:28:41,219
and found nearthe Eye of the Swamp?
655
00:28:41,219 --> 00:28:43,597
- Dry.
- It's very tight.
656
00:28:43,597 --> 00:28:45,265
Earlier this year,
657
00:28:45,265 --> 00:28:48,101
while investigatinga 200‐foot‐long anomaly
658
00:28:48,101 --> 00:28:50,729
detected by seismic scanning,
659
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:53,065
the Oak Island teamobtained core samples
660
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:54,733
of unusually hard‐packed clay
661
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,985
up to 40 feet deepin the swamp,
662
00:28:56,985 --> 00:29:00,656
creating ideal conditionsfor tunneling beneath the area.
663
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:02,240
Interestingly enough,
664
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,909
you probably could tunnel
through this stuff.
665
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:05,410
‐Right?
‐Yeah. No question.
666
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:06,912
‐You could.
‐Yeah.
667
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:09,831
There has been talk of tunnels
in the swamp,
668
00:29:09,831 --> 00:29:13,585
like some kind of back entry
to the Money Pit.
669
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:17,631
Well, if you're gonna be digging
in the swamp and tunneling,
670
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:19,675
you would needa little tunnel pick
671
00:29:19,675 --> 00:29:24,012
like the pick that Jack and Ijust pulled out of this hole.
672
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:27,641
What the heck is this
tunneling pick doing over here?
673
00:29:27,641 --> 00:29:28,767
We're so far away
674
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,310
‐from the Money Pit.
‐Yeah.
675
00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:32,771
Who's been tunneling
or digging round here?
676
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,440
‐It's an artifact
that we can have tested...
‐Yeah.
677
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,777
...and see how it lines up
with all the other artifacts
678
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,612
we found in the swamp this year.
679
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:42,114
Set that down somewhere safe,
680
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:44,449
and we'll see if there's
anything else in the hole.
681
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:47,995
‐
‐There is.
682
00:29:47,995 --> 00:29:49,329
Dig that sucker out, Jack.
683
00:29:54,334 --> 00:29:56,336
If I can get it out of there.
684
00:29:56,336 --> 00:29:58,130
I got to actually grab it.
685
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,552
The heck is that?
686
00:30:03,552 --> 00:30:05,220
I don't know.
687
00:30:05,220 --> 00:30:07,639
Looks like a...
688
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:09,891
It could be anything,
couldn't it?
689
00:30:09,891 --> 00:30:12,060
‐Could be, like, an old bucket.
‐
690
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:14,021
It does kind of look
like an old...
691
00:30:14,021 --> 00:30:15,522
‐spade.
‐It does, doesn't it?
692
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:17,024
‐Yeah.
‐It looks‐‐ You know what,
693
00:30:17,024 --> 00:30:18,191
‐that's a‐‐ Yeah.
‐Like a round point spade.
694
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:19,359
Look.
695
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:20,819
‐Yeah.
‐Good eye, Jack. Yeah.
696
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,654
It is an old spade.
697
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,614
But it's a‐another tool.
698
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:27,075
And i‐if you look at this
and you compare it
699
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:29,327
‐to that modern one...
‐A second digging tool
700
00:30:29,327 --> 00:30:30,704
‐over here!
‐Yeah.
701
00:30:30,704 --> 00:30:32,330
We're in the old toolshed, mate.
702
00:30:32,330 --> 00:30:34,916
But a toolshed from the 1700s.
703
00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:38,003
A round point spade
704
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:40,672
dating back to the 1700s
705
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:45,343
and found alongside an oldiron pickax in the swamp?
706
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:47,888
Could Jack and Gary have foundfurther evidence
707
00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:49,473
to support the notion
708
00:30:49,473 --> 00:30:51,475
that a large‐scaletunneling operation
709
00:30:51,475 --> 00:30:54,853
took place in this areacenturies ago?
710
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:58,523
And if so, could it also beconnected in some way
711
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:00,817
to boththe mysterious paved area
712
00:31:00,817 --> 00:31:05,113
and the Eye of the Swamplocated nearby?
713
00:31:05,113 --> 00:31:06,782
We should take it
to Carmen Legge.
714
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:09,451
Yeah. I think he's gonna be
excited about that.
715
00:31:09,451 --> 00:31:12,370
And you know what?
We ain't finished shopping yet.
716
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:15,707
‐I just think we're gonna keep
finding stuff in here.
‐Yeah.
717
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:19,669
Let's see if there'sanything else in the area.
718
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:22,881
Later that day,
719
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:27,427
back at the DartmouthHeritage Museum,
720
00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:29,096
Rick and members of the team
721
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:31,932
continue to digin search of the 90 Foot Stone.
722
00:31:31,932 --> 00:31:34,309
The last four or five buckets,
723
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:35,519
we've hit bricks.
724
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:37,854
That's not why we're here,
so... keep going.
725
00:31:44,069 --> 00:31:45,570
‐
‐BILLY: Rock there.
726
00:31:47,155 --> 00:31:48,532
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
727
00:31:48,532 --> 00:31:49,574
Hang on.
728
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,620
Let's see if that's flat or not.
729
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:56,373
It feels flat, but I don't want
to scratch it. Right there.
730
00:32:13,348 --> 00:32:16,685
Whatever that is,
it's been in there for a while.
731
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:19,563
Wow.
732
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:26,736
It's squared off.
733
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:28,905
It's flat on that face.
734
00:32:28,905 --> 00:32:30,615
It's not bad.
735
00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:32,993
- ‐It fits, right?
- Well, it's...
736
00:32:32,993 --> 00:32:36,413
that's the area we'd exp...
we wanted to find it, right?
737
00:32:36,413 --> 00:32:38,790
While excavating the grounds
738
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:41,293
of the DartmouthHeritage Museum
739
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,336
in search of the legendary90 Foot Stone,
740
00:32:43,336 --> 00:32:46,047
Rick Lagina and membersof the Oak Island team
741
00:32:46,047 --> 00:32:50,302
have just unearthedan unusually flat rock slab.
742
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:52,637
It's definitely green.
743
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:53,972
Yeah.
744
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:56,183
- ‐It's got a square corner.
- Yeah.
745
00:32:56,183 --> 00:32:58,977
Dig it out.
See what it looks like.
746
00:33:13,158 --> 00:33:15,493
Nah, it's too big.
747
00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:18,663
It had some promise when you
first started clearing...
748
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:21,124
cleaning it off,
'cause it did look quite flat.
749
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:22,334
Yep.
750
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,669
According to Oak Island legend,
751
00:33:24,669 --> 00:33:27,547
after the 90 Foot Stonewas discovered
752
00:33:27,547 --> 00:33:30,508
and removed fromthe original Money Pit in 1804,
753
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:33,511
treasure hunter John Smith,
754
00:33:33,511 --> 00:33:35,513
one of the three young menwho first discovered
755
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:38,642
the treasure shaft in 1795,
756
00:33:38,642 --> 00:33:40,602
mounted the stoneinto the fireplace of his home
757
00:33:40,602 --> 00:33:42,646
as a decoration.
758
00:33:42,646 --> 00:33:46,191
In 1865, it was removed
759
00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:48,652
and transportedsome 60 miles north
760
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:50,862
to the city of Halifax,
761
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:53,240
where it was put on displayin the window
762
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,450
of the A & H Creightonbookbindery
763
00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:57,702
in the hopesof attracting new investors
764
00:33:57,702 --> 00:33:59,746
to the Oak Islandtreasure hunt.
765
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:05,377
However, after the bookbinderyclosed its doors in 1919,
766
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:08,672
the 90 Foot Stone vanishedwithout a trace.
767
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:11,716
Some believed that the stonewas secretly donated
768
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:13,551
to the nearby Halifax Club,
769
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:16,763
a fraternity made upof prominent businessmen,
770
00:34:16,763 --> 00:34:20,600
where it was supposedlyembedded into the floor.
771
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,727
But when, in 2016,
772
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:26,439
Alex Lagina and membersof the Oak Island team
773
00:34:26,439 --> 00:34:28,900
tracked down that lead,they reached a dead end.
774
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,569
We didn't findwhat we were looking for,
775
00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:32,946
but I think
we made some progress.
776
00:34:32,946 --> 00:34:35,115
We've got some good leads
to chase down.
777
00:34:35,115 --> 00:34:37,742
One year ago,
778
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,494
Oak Island historianDoug Crowell
779
00:34:39,494 --> 00:34:41,288
believedhe had found the stone
780
00:34:41,288 --> 00:34:44,291
in the basement of the buildingwhere it was last seen,
781
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:47,585
the siteof the Halifax bookbindery.
782
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:50,213
Look!
There's something carved there.
783
00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:54,968
Holy smokes!
784
00:34:54,968 --> 00:34:58,013
But although it did matchan earlier description,
785
00:34:58,013 --> 00:35:01,266
the total absence of anyof the hieroglyphic markings
786
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:04,769
suggested to the team thatit was not the original stone.
787
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:07,814
‐Where's all the inscriptions?
Where's
the writing on it?
788
00:35:07,814 --> 00:35:11,776
Earlier this year, Rick Laginareceived a credible tip
789
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,904
from area residentKevin Rideout.
790
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:17,782
He insisted that he had seena gray‐green stone
791
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:20,785
matching the 90 Foot Stone'sdescription several years ago
792
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:25,081
on the grounds ofthe Dartmouth Heritage Museum.
793
00:35:26,249 --> 00:35:28,501
Kevin.
794
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:30,879
‐Thank you for coming.
Appreciate it.
‐Morning, Rick.
795
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:33,340
So, if you were looking
for a general area,
796
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:36,801
from where to where
do you think it might be?
797
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:39,638
Rick, I thought you'd find it
right here.
798
00:35:39,638 --> 00:35:41,056
You're‐you're right
on the money.
799
00:35:41,056 --> 00:35:42,807
You can see the elevations.
800
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:45,977
That lower grade was over here.
801
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:49,814
So somebody did a lot of work
in‐filling or whatever here.
802
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:51,733
It's your suggestion,
then, that...
803
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:53,818
we need to go much deeper?
804
00:35:53,818 --> 00:35:55,028
Yes. Yes.
805
00:35:57,697 --> 00:36:00,283
We very quickly learned
806
00:36:00,283 --> 00:36:02,827
: that this is not gonna
be as easy as we had thought.
807
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:07,332
And the more we dig,the more we expose,
808
00:36:07,332 --> 00:36:10,001
we realize how difficultthis enterprise is gonna be.
809
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:11,795
But we're not gonna give up.
810
00:36:16,883 --> 00:36:19,302
Ooh. Wait, Billy. Whoa.
811
00:36:24,849 --> 00:36:26,267
Nope.
812
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:29,896
After diggingfor several hours,
813
00:36:29,896 --> 00:36:32,023
and uncovering the entire area
814
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:36,194
believed to possibly containthe legendary 90 Foot Stone,
815
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:39,239
Rick Lagina and the teamhave come to an unfortunate
816
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,866
and disappointing conclusion.
817
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:45,203
I think we've got our answer.
818
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:47,205
Not here.
819
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:49,666
Yeah, I think we exhausted that.
820
00:36:49,666 --> 00:36:51,668
I hate to usethe word "disappointing"
821
00:36:51,668 --> 00:36:54,254
when it comes to the workwe did at the museum.
822
00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:55,922
We didn't find the stone,
823
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:59,718
but we did everything we could
to find the stone.
824
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,386
We‐we followed the lead.
825
00:37:01,386 --> 00:37:03,388
We dug at the site.
826
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:06,182
And we will continue
to follow it.
827
00:37:06,182 --> 00:37:08,893
Perhaps the trail
doesn't end here.
828
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:11,688
That would be the hope.
‐‐
829
00:37:11,688 --> 00:37:13,398
There's one thing
that sums up everything
830
00:37:13,398 --> 00:37:16,234
we, together, have attempted
to do on Oak Island:
831
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:18,903
we have never, ever given up.
832
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:20,947
And we're not done here.
We're not done looking.
833
00:37:20,947 --> 00:37:23,491
We're not done searching.
We're not done researching.
834
00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:26,745
‐We're not giving up.
‐On to the next.
835
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:28,747
On to the next.
836
00:37:34,419 --> 00:37:36,254
Following their investigation
837
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:38,214
in search of the 90 Foot Stone,
838
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:41,760
Rick Lagina and Doug Crowellreturn to Oak Island,
839
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,887
where they joinRick's brother Marty,
840
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:46,097
Craig Testerand other members of the team
841
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:48,600
in the war room.
842
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,269
They have gatheredto hear a scientific report
843
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:52,604
that has just come in
844
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:54,230
concerningthe strange wood sample
845
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:55,899
recovered two weeks ago
846
00:37:55,899 --> 00:37:57,734
during theircore‐drilling operations
847
00:37:57,734 --> 00:37:59,694
in the Money Pit area.
848
00:37:59,694 --> 00:38:01,529
Yeah, guys,
as you'll recall, um,
849
00:38:01,529 --> 00:38:03,406
in some of our test drilling,
850
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:06,117
specifically FG12,
851
00:38:06,117 --> 00:38:07,911
we found
some very peculiar wood,
852
00:38:07,911 --> 00:38:11,122
and the reason it was peculiar
is because it was at the end
853
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:13,124
of the tunnel
that you guys found,
854
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:14,876
or we think, from Shaft Two.
855
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:17,921
The base of that tunnel
was consistently at 103 feet,
856
00:38:17,921 --> 00:38:20,715
I believe‐‐ is that right?‐‐
and this one was deeper.
857
00:38:20,715 --> 00:38:22,634
It didn't look right.
858
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:25,094
It certainly had none
of the characteristics
859
00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:26,721
of the Hedden Shaft.
860
00:38:26,721 --> 00:38:28,681
So, I mean, it was too dark.
861
00:38:28,681 --> 00:38:31,142
It looked very old,
so we decided to get it,
862
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:34,729
carbon‐14 dated,
and Craig here has the results.
863
00:38:34,729 --> 00:38:37,023
Um, definitely got good results.
864
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:41,694
It's from 1626 to 1680.
865
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:43,988
Wow.
866
00:38:44,864 --> 00:38:46,741
‐I like that.
‐‐
867
00:38:46,741 --> 00:38:49,327
Wood from the Money Pit area?
868
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:51,955
Dated to more than a century
before the discovery
869
00:38:51,955 --> 00:38:54,499
of the fabled treasure shaft?
870
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:56,167
Have Rick, Marty and the team
871
00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:58,586
finally pinpointed the location
872
00:38:58,586 --> 00:39:00,338
where the Oak Islandtreasure vault
873
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:03,675
lies buried deep below?
874
00:39:03,675 --> 00:39:05,343
It's very encouraging that
875
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:09,556
the highly likely date
of this wood is quite old.
876
00:39:09,556 --> 00:39:11,808
In the 1600s somewhere.
877
00:39:11,808 --> 00:39:14,185
We've got lots of datathat says
878
00:39:14,185 --> 00:39:16,187
that something substantial
happened here,
879
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:20,692
maybe between 1650
and 17‐something.
880
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:21,985
And that‐‐ all that's new.
881
00:39:21,985 --> 00:39:24,028
I was not a believer
in that at all.
882
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:25,446
I wonder what was happening
883
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:29,534
in this area late 1600s,
early 1700s.
884
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:32,036
Yeah, that's the question.
885
00:39:32,036 --> 00:39:34,205
‐Can I see it?
‐Yeah, absolutely.
886
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:39,335
Well, you know what? 1680.
887
00:39:39,335 --> 00:39:41,713
That's, um,
Dr. Spooner's big date.
888
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:42,964
Yeah.
889
00:39:42,964 --> 00:39:46,551
1680, he said
with some degree of certainty,
890
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:49,137
that something went on
in the Eye of the Swamp.
891
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:53,641
There's a sediment right there.
892
00:39:53,641 --> 00:39:55,727
Earlier this year,after extracting core samples
893
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:59,981
from the swamp, Dr. Ian Spoonerpresented Rick, Marty
894
00:39:59,981 --> 00:40:02,859
and the teamwith some astonishing data.
895
00:40:02,859 --> 00:40:05,653
This is quite
a provocative site.
896
00:40:05,653 --> 00:40:10,158
He determined that not only wasthe swamp potentially created
897
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:13,369
over 800 years ago, but thatsignificant human activity
898
00:40:13,369 --> 00:40:15,705
took place in the so‐calledEye of the Swamp
899
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:20,418
sometimein the late 17th century.
900
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:24,672
I'm very confident
we're looking at 1680 to 1700...
901
00:40:24,672 --> 00:40:27,091
that that disturbance
took place.
902
00:40:27,091 --> 00:40:28,676
Really interesting.
903
00:40:28,676 --> 00:40:31,095
That's his date‐‐ 1680.
904
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:33,389
Dr. Spooner said that something
905
00:40:33,389 --> 00:40:35,892
of an industrial scale
went on here.
906
00:40:35,892 --> 00:40:39,062
‐Those dates are
bloody fantastic.
Yeah, those are good.
907
00:40:39,062 --> 00:40:40,563
This certainly begs
908
00:40:40,563 --> 00:40:42,148
for further investigation‐‐
I mean,
909
00:40:42,148 --> 00:40:44,108
those outlier dates,
there's no question about it.
910
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:45,777
Got to follow the clues,
911
00:40:45,777 --> 00:40:47,111
‐see where they lead.
‐Yep.
912
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:48,780
This is the year!
913
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:51,115
For brothersRick and Marty Lagina
914
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:52,909
and the Oak Island team,
915
00:40:52,909 --> 00:40:55,161
obtaininghard scientific evidence
916
00:40:55,161 --> 00:40:58,331
that they may have finallylocated the original Money Pit
917
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:01,042
is a potentiallyhistoric development.
918
00:41:01,042 --> 00:41:03,586
It may no longer be a question
919
00:41:03,586 --> 00:41:05,797
of where the Oak Islandtreasure will be found,
920
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:07,757
but rather,how deeply buried is it?
921
00:41:07,757 --> 00:41:13,137
And... is it a treasureof gold and silver,
922
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:15,098
or priceless artifacts?
923
00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:17,725
But as the team keeps digging,
924
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:19,894
it may be that theyare forced to answer
925
00:41:19,894 --> 00:41:22,647
a much more difficult question:
926
00:41:22,647 --> 00:41:25,108
was the searchfor the Oak Island treasure
927
00:41:25,108 --> 00:41:28,486
worth all the time and money
928
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:32,156
and human livesit took to find it?
929
00:41:35,243 --> 00:41:38,246
Next timeon The Curse of Oak Island...
930
00:41:38,246 --> 00:41:40,915
I'd like to knowwho did it, why they did it.
931
00:41:40,915 --> 00:41:42,250
- Watch yourself.
- Baby.
932
00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:43,835
‐No, no!
‐Whoa!
933
00:41:45,003 --> 00:41:46,921
- Hey!
- Whoa! Whoa!
934
00:41:46,921 --> 00:41:48,631
I see a big timber down there.
935
00:41:48,631 --> 00:41:51,092
Yeah. And I think
this is a notch right here.
936
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:53,386
- ‐Yeah, it's a big structure.
- Yeah, it's huge.
937
00:41:53,386 --> 00:41:55,430
‐
‐Got a signal over here, Jack!
938
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:57,181
We got it! All right!
‐Look!
939
00:42:00,351 --> 00:42:01,352
Wow.
940
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,603
What's that doing in the swamp?
941
00:42:02,603 --> 00:42:03,896
