1
00:00:01,543 --> 00:00:03,586
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,587 --> 00:00:05,338
Here we go.
Floodgate's about to open.
3
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:06,881
Here it goes.
4
00:00:06,882 --> 00:00:08,841
I think it's time
to get our feet wet.
5
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:11,093
‐Let's do it.
‐There's a structure down there.
6
00:00:11,094 --> 00:00:13,095
It's ten feet underwater.
7
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:14,847
We found Nine.
I think this disturbed area
8
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:17,183
in this photo might be
Shaft Two.
9
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:19,519
Steve can triangulate
and see where it intersects.
10
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,521
‐ X marks the spot.
‐Look at all the wood.
11
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:23,105
‐Oh, look at the wood.
‐Looks like we're in
12
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:24,524
‐the middle of a shaft.
‐ Ooh, look at that!
13
00:00:24,525 --> 00:00:26,150
I don't know why this is here.
14
00:00:26,151 --> 00:00:27,902
‐I don't know what
this would be. ‐ This may be
15
00:00:27,903 --> 00:00:28,987
bigger than we thought.
16
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:34,742
There is an island
in the North Atlantic
17
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:38,246
where people have been looking
for an incredible treasure
18
00:00:38,247 --> 00:00:41,541
for more than 200 years.
19
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:44,627
So far, they have found
a stone slab
20
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:47,296
with strange symbols
carved into it,
21
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:50,132
mysterious fragments
of human bone,
22
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:53,928
and a lead cross
whose origin may stretch back
23
00:00:53,929 --> 00:00:56,472
to the days
of the Knights Templar.
24
00:00:56,473 --> 00:01:00,894
To date, six men have died
trying to solve the mystery.
25
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,063
And, according to legend,
26
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:07,149
one more will have to die
27
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:10,862
before the treasure
can be found.
28
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:38,514
Wow.
29
00:01:38,515 --> 00:01:40,683
That is one big machine.
30
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:43,686
Yeah, that's impressive.
31
00:01:43,687 --> 00:01:44,937
Definitely some iron
32
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:46,522
‐in Smith's Cove now.
Yeah.
33
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:47,940
Look at that thing.
34
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:49,608
It's time to start.
35
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:51,610
We're about
to explore new ground.
36
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:54,238
‐How you doing, guys?
‐Mike, how you doing?
37
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,158
‐Quite well. ‐That is some vision
coming down from that hill.
38
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:58,868
Yeah.
‐For brothers Rick
39
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:01,412
and Marty Lagina
and their partners,
40
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:03,622
today marks the beginning
of yet another
41
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:06,792
and more extensive
investigation at Smith's Cove.
42
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:08,294
What are we looking at?
43
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:09,837
Where are you gonna start?
44
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:11,631
So, we'll‐we'll pull that
one sheet; we'll lay it down.
45
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:13,633
We're gonna lay 'em
right in across here.
46
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:16,344
The team from
Irving Equipment Limited
47
00:02:16,345 --> 00:02:18,512
has returned to the area
in order to build
48
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:21,390
a massive extension,
or bump‐out,
49
00:02:21,391 --> 00:02:24,310
to the 525‐foot‐long
steel cofferdam
50
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,312
they had constructed last year.
51
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:29,190
How far out is
the bump‐out going?
52
00:02:29,191 --> 00:02:32,193
Based on the arch in that 100
feet that we're gonna remove,
53
00:02:32,194 --> 00:02:34,528
it's 50 feet from there out
54
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:36,447
to the surface
of the next wall out.
55
00:02:36,448 --> 00:02:39,158
‐So, are you excited?
‐Oh, yeah, I'm excited, 'cause
56
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,661
when we did the excavation
last year,
57
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:44,038
we didn't really find that much
58
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:46,415
‐when it comes to artifacts.
‐Yes.
59
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:49,585
‐And if it's not here,
it's got to be over there. ‐Yeah.
60
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,671
‐And we're gonna find it.
61
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:54,340
Although the Laginas
and their partners
62
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:57,426
made a number of historic finds
here last year,
63
00:02:57,427 --> 00:03:00,262
including a boat wharf,
or slipway,
64
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:02,515
that was proven to have been
built more than two decades
65
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:06,477
prior to the Money Pit's
discovery in 1795,
66
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:09,730
the team was shocked to learn
that additional structures
67
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:14,402
and important clues might still
lie further out into the ocean.
68
00:03:14,403 --> 00:03:16,737
One of the big agenda items
this year is
69
00:03:16,738 --> 00:03:18,489
to finish up in Smith's Cove.
70
00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:20,908
We found some exciting things
there last year,
71
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:23,035
but we never got
to the end of the slipway
72
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:24,912
where there could be
all kinds of artifacts.
73
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:26,831
And that's what
this is all about,
74
00:03:26,832 --> 00:03:28,541
looking for friends
of the cross,
75
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:31,710
and an explanation possibly
of some of the structures,
76
00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:34,338
their purpose,
their age, who did it.
77
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:35,714
There's a lot of mystery
down there,
78
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,258
and we need to explore it.
79
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:39,593
Okay, Mike, turn it over to you,
80
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:42,263
‐and let's get it started.
‐Thanks, guys.
81
00:03:42,264 --> 00:03:45,808
Before construction
of the bump‐out can begin,
82
00:03:45,809 --> 00:03:48,811
the Irving team must first
remove 22 interlocking
83
00:03:48,812 --> 00:03:50,980
steel sheets
from the cofferdam wall
84
00:03:50,981 --> 00:03:53,732
using a powerful
vibratory hammer,
85
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:58,237
which is attached
to a massive 440‐ton crane.
86
00:03:58,238 --> 00:04:00,156
Once completed,
87
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:02,324
Rick, Marty
and the team will be able
88
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:04,910
to search a 6,000‐square‐foot
area where,
89
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:06,745
so far as they know,
90
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:10,041
no previous searchers
have ever been able to reach.
91
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:13,586
Here we go.
92
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:16,672
Floodgate's about to open.
93
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:18,008
Here it goes.
94
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,470
Wow.
95
00:04:22,471 --> 00:04:24,305
I think it's time
to get our feet wet.
96
00:04:24,306 --> 00:04:26,015
Let's do it.
97
00:04:26,016 --> 00:04:30,311
While construction
on the cofferdam continues,
98
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:34,523
Rick Lagina heads to
the Oak Island Research Center
99
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:37,318
for a meeting with
island historian Doug Crowell
100
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,111
and surveyor Steve Guptill.
101
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:41,280
Hey, Rick.
‐Hey.
102
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:45,785
Steve and I were just
talking about an idea we had.
103
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:48,370
You know Steve's calculated this
on the 3‐D model
104
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:50,164
for what we found
for Shaft Nine.
105
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:52,541
With finding Nine
and proving it was Nine,
106
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,960
we brought back a landmark
from the past
107
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:58,047
at a time when they knew
where the Money Pit was.
108
00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:00,800
‐And we know we found Nine.
‐We know it's Nine.
109
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:03,761
That's that certainty you want
to start talking with, right?
110
00:05:03,762 --> 00:05:04,804
Mm‐Hmm.
111
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:07,056
Hey, Billy!
There's wood there!
112
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:09,308
One week ago,
113
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:11,894
Rick, Marty, Craig
and members of the team
114
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:14,188
unearthed a massive
wooden structure
115
00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:16,315
which matched
the historical descriptions
116
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:21,570
of a searcher shaft built
in 1863 known as "Shaft Nine."
117
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,989
According to archival records,
118
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:28,035
it was constructed some 100
feet southwest of the Money Pit
119
00:05:28,036 --> 00:05:30,204
in an attempt
to bypass the flood tunnels
120
00:05:30,205 --> 00:05:31,997
which are believed
121
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:34,708
to protect the fabled
Oak Island treasure vault.
122
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:37,211
Because the location
of the original Money Pit
123
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:40,506
was still known at the time
Shaft Nine was built,
124
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:43,509
the team hopes to use it
as a key landmark
125
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:47,513
that should help them pinpoint
the Money Pit's exact location.
126
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:50,766
So, Steve's calculated
127
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:53,185
‐Shaft Number Nine right there.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
128
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:56,480
Which is supposed to be 100 feet
away from the Money Pit,
129
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:59,024
according to
the historical documentation.
130
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,609
So, 100 feet out from here
131
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:03,696
roughly puts an arc
through like that.
132
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:05,531
So, I've been going through
my head trying to think
133
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:07,533
of other landmarks
we might be able to bring back.
134
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,034
‐Mm‐hmm.
‐It got me going through
135
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:10,452
these old photos,
and I found this one
136
00:06:10,453 --> 00:06:13,163
from 1931
during the Chappell exploration.
137
00:06:13,164 --> 00:06:14,665
Mm‐hmm.
138
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:16,876
And this area here
really caught my interest.
139
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:19,670
This looks disturbed here to me.
140
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:22,464
In fact, back here
where Nine is that also
141
00:06:22,465 --> 00:06:24,300
‐looks disturbed, doesn't it?
‐That also looks... Yeah. Yup.
142
00:06:24,301 --> 00:06:26,427
We know where Nine is.
143
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:28,554
We found Nine there.
144
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:31,724
We know 100 feet away from that
should be the Money Pit.
145
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,559
I think this disturbed area
in this photo
146
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,063
might be indicating that
we should find a shaft in there,
147
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:40,358
which I think would be
Shaft Two.
148
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:45,237
If there's any shaft that
149
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:48,324
its relationship to the
Money Pit was known, it's Two.
150
00:06:48,325 --> 00:06:50,659
There's no question about that.
151
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:52,870
In 1805,
152
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:55,914
one year after the Money Pit
flooded with seawater
153
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,917
when Daniel McGinnis and his
partners hit what they believed
154
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:02,212
to be a boobytrap
at a depth of 90 feet,
155
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:04,214
members of the Onslow Company
attempted
156
00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:06,258
to work around the problem
157
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:10,929
by digging an adjacent shaft
some 14 feet to the southeast.
158
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:13,349
Known as "Shaft Two,"
159
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:18,103
it reached a depth of 110 feet
without encountering water.
160
00:07:18,104 --> 00:07:20,731
McGinnis then dug
a horizontal tunnel
161
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:23,651
in hopes of reaching
the treasure vault from below.
162
00:07:23,652 --> 00:07:25,986
But within two feet
of its target,
163
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:29,490
the tunnel caved in
and flooded.
164
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:33,452
Shortly afterwards, the Onslow
Company went bankrupt,
165
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,788
thus ending
the recorded treasure hunt
166
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:41,085
of the three‐man team who first
discovered the Money Pit.
167
00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:43,837
Certainly, Shaft Two is‐is key
168
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:45,464
to understanding
the original location
169
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:47,299
of the Money Pit, because
170
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,635
the original Money Pit
was denoted "Number One,"
171
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:54,098
and Shaft Two was the
second shaft ever dug, trying to
172
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:57,017
uncover the treasure.
173
00:07:57,018 --> 00:08:00,562
If Shaft Number Two is
where we think it is,
174
00:08:00,563 --> 00:08:02,481
then we've got another landmark,
175
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:04,733
because we know
that Two should be
176
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:07,653
14 feet away from the Money Pit,
and we have two measurements.
177
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:09,571
With Shaft Number Nine
right there,
178
00:08:09,572 --> 00:08:13,492
Steve can triangulate 14 feet
out and 100 feet out and see
179
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,744
‐where it intersects.
‐Right.
180
00:08:15,745 --> 00:08:18,831
If we can find Two,
we have an X marks the spot.
181
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:20,124
Yeah.
182
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:23,127
So, are you suggesting
a drilling program?
183
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:25,379
I‐I think if we throw
a little bit of sonic at it
184
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:27,214
and see if there is indeed
a shaft there.
185
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:29,633
Well, look, it's a...
it's a great plan.
186
00:08:29,634 --> 00:08:31,677
‐There's no choice
but to pursue it. ‐Yeah.
187
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:33,345
So, guys, there's still
a lot of work to do.
188
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:35,222
Get that X on that map.
189
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:37,015
Let's find Two.
‐ More importantly,
190
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:39,018
let's find the Money Pit.
191
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:43,647
Later that afternoon...
192
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:45,232
‐Hey, gentlemen.
Hey, guys.
193
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:47,693
...Steve Guptill
and Craig Tester
194
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,862
join other members
of the Oak Island team
195
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,905
at the Money Pit site to begin
196
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:55,200
a new core drilling operation
in search of Shaft Two.
197
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:56,702
We've picked out a location.
198
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:58,871
‐So, we'll get them going.
‐Okay.
199
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:00,247
They're waiting on you
over there.
200
00:09:00,248 --> 00:09:02,082
‐They're waiting.
‐Get them spotted.
201
00:09:02,083 --> 00:09:04,460
Using aerial photographs
202
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:07,963
taken of the Money Pit area
in 1931,
203
00:09:07,964 --> 00:09:09,882
as well as the GPS coordinates
204
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,134
of the recently‐discovered
Shaft Nine,
205
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:15,095
Craig and Steve have calculated
the location
206
00:09:15,096 --> 00:09:18,223
where they hope
to intercept Shaft Two.
207
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:21,352
‐Right there.
Okay.
208
00:09:25,273 --> 00:09:27,566
‐Good enough.
‐That's good enough.
209
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,402
‐There you go.
‐Right on.
210
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:32,279
Looking for wood.
Looking for gold.
211
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,531
Looking for gold.
Let's find her.
212
00:09:34,532 --> 00:09:36,575
Come on.
213
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,703
Okay.
214
00:09:46,169 --> 00:09:47,545
‐Tight?
‐Oh, yeah.
215
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:54,426
Looks pretty good.
216
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:55,928
Yup.
217
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:58,597
Using a sonic drill rig,
218
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:02,101
which utilizes a high‐frequency
sound to advance through earth,
219
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:04,269
rock and other objects,
220
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,356
a specialized coring barrel
will take core samples
221
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:12,070
in ten‐foot intervals,
down as deep as 300 feet.
222
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:18,617
That'll be nice if it's
disturbed right off the bat.
223
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:19,910
‐Yeah.
‐That way, we know
224
00:10:19,911 --> 00:10:21,954
‐we're inside an old shaft.
‐Yup.
225
00:10:21,955 --> 00:10:24,289
We might have a darn
good chance of zeroing in
226
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:25,707
on where the old Money Pit was.
227
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:27,042
Yup.
Definitely.
228
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:28,627
This could be it right here.
229
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:30,296
Fingers crossed.
230
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:35,300
As the drilling operation
231
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:38,303
continues in
the Money Pit area,
232
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:42,432
Rick Lagina and his nephew
Peter Fornetti,
233
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:45,477
along with team members Doug
Crowell and Billy Gerhardt,
234
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:49,273
travel some 52 miles
northeast of Oak Island
235
00:10:49,274 --> 00:10:51,984
to the Helen Creighton
Heritage Museum
236
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:54,653
in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
237
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,155
They are eager to follow up
238
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,949
on a promising new lead
Rick just received
239
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:01,827
concerning the so‐called
90‐foot stone.
240
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,329
Man, I hope
this turns into something.
241
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:06,123
Oh, me, too.
242
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:07,666
‐Yeah. ‐ Whether or not
the stone is there,
243
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:09,501
it's still a wonderful lead.
244
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:12,754
‐Mm‐hmm.
‐I was at Dan's funeral,
245
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:14,256
and, uh, this fella came up.
246
00:11:14,257 --> 00:11:16,175
His name is Kevin Rideout.
247
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:18,218
And he said,
"I just have a little bit
248
00:11:18,219 --> 00:11:19,511
of information for you."
249
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,346
He said a number of years ago
250
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:23,891
30 or 40 years ago,
quite a while
251
00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:26,226
he said, "I was...
happened to be at the...
252
00:11:26,227 --> 00:11:28,562
"Helen Creighton Museum, and...
253
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:32,107
"a stone was pointed out to me
that was in the yard.
254
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:36,570
I was told that stone
was the 'carved stone,'"
255
00:11:36,571 --> 00:11:39,991
quote‐unquote,
"from Oak Island."
256
00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:44,912
In 1804,
just as Daniel McGinnis
257
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:46,747
and members
of the Onslow Company
258
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:49,583
reached a depth of 90 feet
in the Money Pit,
259
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:52,669
they discovered
a strange olive‐colored stone
260
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:55,047
containing hieroglyph‐like
symbols carved into it
261
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:58,759
and embedded
in a layer of oak logs.
262
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,888
When they removed it, an
apparent booby trap was sprung,
263
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:05,807
which caused ocean water
to flood into the Money Pit
264
00:12:05,808 --> 00:12:09,937
and thwart all subsequent
efforts to keep digging.
265
00:12:09,938 --> 00:12:12,231
Although the carvings
on the stone
266
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,107
were later translated to read,
267
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:17,402
"Forty feet below,
two million pounds are buried,"
268
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:19,529
there are many who believe
the carvings formed
269
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:22,741
a coded message, which,
when properly translated,
270
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:25,452
would reveal how to shut off
the booby traps.
271
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:30,082
Unfortunately, the stone,
which was never photographed
272
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:31,959
or properly copied,
has been missing
273
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,752
for more than a century.
274
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,796
According to legend,
it was last seen
275
00:12:35,797 --> 00:12:37,923
in the window
of a Halifax bookstore,
276
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:40,759
the same place
where Doug Crowell located
277
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,887
a similar stone
just one year ago.
278
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:46,265
Oh, look at that, guys.
279
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,475
But although the stone
Doug retrieved
280
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:51,270
matched the 90‐foot stone's
general description
281
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:55,983
and dimensions, it had
no hieroglyphic markings on it.
282
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,652
As far as the stone
Doug found last year,
283
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:00,821
I just don't think
it's the stone.
284
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:04,032
I think it was perhaps
a representation of what once
285
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:05,701
was in their possession,
286
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:08,287
and I believe that it currently
is still in their possession,
287
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:10,664
i.e. at the
Creighton House Museum.
288
00:13:10,665 --> 00:13:13,792
Probably the best lead
we've ever had.
289
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:16,712
If the stone is there,
that has to be impactful.
290
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:20,173
Yeah, it would be
refinding history.
291
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:22,759
‐Yeah.
‐ All I know is one thing.
292
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,972
I'm excited to go.
Hopefully it's there.
293
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,766
As Rick and the team
make their way
294
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,144
to the Helen Creighton
Heritage Museum,
295
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:36,106
Jack Begley and metal detection
expert Gary Drayton
296
00:13:36,107 --> 00:13:38,317
arrive on Lot 6,
297
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:42,738
located on the western side
of Oak Island.
298
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:46,450
All right,
we've made it to Lot 6.
299
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,160
I've been interested
in this spot
300
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:50,328
for a number of years, Gary.
301
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:52,664
Yeah. And this area's
been overlooked.
302
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:55,167
Mm‐hmm.
303
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:57,002
Because of the numerous
discoveries made
304
00:13:57,003 --> 00:14:00,881
on this side of the island,
including a gold‐plated brooch
305
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:03,550
and ancient tunneling tools
known as swages,
306
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:06,887
that were estimated to be
as much as 600 years old,
307
00:14:06,888 --> 00:14:10,223
Gary is eager to search
the nearby beach areas
308
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:13,185
for any valuable clues
to help identify
309
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:14,936
who may have visited the island
310
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:19,024
prior to the discovery
of the Money Pit in 1795.
311
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:21,193
It's really exciting
that we're finally
312
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:22,861
getting the chance
to look here.
313
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:26,865
Lot 6 has been an area
that we've suspected
314
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:29,201
a lot of human activity
in the past.
315
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:31,119
Who knows what we could turn up.
316
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,538
I think that this area
is involved
317
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:35,415
in the treasure hunt somehow.
318
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:37,125
And it'd be really nice to find
319
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:40,879
some sort of artifact
that's eroded off the bank here.
320
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,049
‐Relatively unexplored beach,
too, I'd say. ‐Yeah.
321
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:45,592
It should be a good day.
322
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:49,429
Well, let's get started.
Let's hammer this beach, Gary.
323
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:51,765
Yeah. What I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna stick higher up,
324
00:14:51,766 --> 00:14:55,144
and I'm gonna do my usual
zigzag along the beach.
325
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:01,733
Hopefully the beach bank
is open for business.
326
00:15:02,777 --> 00:15:04,821
First target up, mate.
327
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:10,075
I think you got it out, mate.
328
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,374
Ugh. Modern nail.
329
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:19,127
‐Yeah, definitely modern.
‐Yep.
330
00:15:34,642 --> 00:15:36,143
Here we go.
331
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:38,270
‐Sounds dig‐able to me.
‐Yeah.
332
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:40,064
Just here.
333
00:15:50,324 --> 00:15:51,783
There we go.
334
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:52,951
Two of 'em.
335
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:55,829
Yeah, look at these.
Two old pins.
336
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:58,039
Yeah, I think they
there are two here.
337
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,667
They look old.
Look how corroded they are.
338
00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:03,128
‐ Square, too. Yeah.
‐And it's square, yeah.
339
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:05,297
They've got the nice weight
to them.
340
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:07,716
They're a couple of old pins.
341
00:16:07,717 --> 00:16:10,218
This nail would be at home
342
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:14,848
in any 1700s shipwreck.
343
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:16,600
The heck are these doing here?
344
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:19,686
‐Over on this side
of the island. ‐Yeah.
345
00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:22,230
Square‐shaped pins
346
00:16:22,231 --> 00:16:25,150
dating back to the 1700s?
347
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:26,902
And possibly from a ship?
348
00:16:26,903 --> 00:16:29,696
Could Jack and Gary have found
evidence of ships
349
00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:34,242
visiting the island before
the discovery of the Money Pit?
350
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:37,662
But if so, what were they doing
on the western side
351
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:41,750
of the island, opposite from
the fabled treasure shaft?
352
00:16:41,751 --> 00:16:46,338
What this tells me,
whenever you see old iron pins,
353
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:48,882
there's gonna be some
old artifacts.
354
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:50,675
I like the sound of that, Gary.
355
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:51,885
Yeah, this is cool.
356
00:16:51,886 --> 00:16:53,511
I think we're onto something.
357
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:56,390
Good digging.
Let's find some more.
358
00:16:58,059 --> 00:17:00,560
I'm gonna go a little bit
further down.
359
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:03,188
I'm gonna take one more sweep
down there.
360
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:08,401
Something good?
361
00:17:08,402 --> 00:17:10,237
That's a big old target.
362
00:17:10,238 --> 00:17:12,865
That's a screamer, mate.
363
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:17,953
Not very deep, either.
An inch.
364
00:17:17,954 --> 00:17:20,538
Well, take a big wide bite of it
because there's something
365
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,624
in between those
two rocks there.
366
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:24,167
Ooh! Look at that.
367
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:26,920
Here, wait a minute, mate.
You see the side of it?
368
00:17:26,921 --> 00:17:29,298
‐Yeah. ‐That's big, isn't it?
Look at that.
369
00:17:31,092 --> 00:17:32,718
What the heck is that?
370
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:39,182
g old pin.
‐ Oh, yeah.
371
00:17:39,183 --> 00:17:42,185
While investigating
near the shore on Lot 6,
372
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:45,564
Jack Begley and metal detection
expert Gary Drayton
373
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:48,525
have just made
an intriguing find.
374
00:17:48,526 --> 00:17:50,068
Look at the grain.
375
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,028
‐Now, that is an old pin.
‐That is old.
376
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:56,241
This looks like it was used
for pinning wood together.
377
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:58,577
‐ Really?
‐Yes.
378
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:01,413
I call them cribbing spikes.
379
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:04,583
I'd say it's 1700s, easy.
380
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:06,084
I like the sound of that, Gary.
381
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,419
Is it heavy?
382
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,421
Yeah, it's heavy.
It's got some weight.
383
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:11,381
That's a hefty bit
of iron, mate.
384
00:18:11,382 --> 00:18:13,758
This is the type
that would have been
385
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:16,428
in a substantial structure.
386
00:18:16,429 --> 00:18:20,056
Yeah. Like a wharf.
387
00:18:20,057 --> 00:18:23,351
An 18th century cribbing spike?
388
00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:25,812
Possibly used in the
construction of a boat wharf
389
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:28,398
or slipway?
390
00:18:28,399 --> 00:18:30,692
Could Gary and Jack
have found evidence
391
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:32,068
of another landing site
392
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:34,446
on the western side
of the island,
393
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:36,948
where a ship may have
offloaded cargo
394
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:41,953
prior to the discovery
of the Money Pit in 1795?
395
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,456
But if so, who built it?
396
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:47,042
And what were they unloading?
397
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:49,961
What a great spot
we've discovered.
398
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:53,798
There could have been some sort
of activity around these lots.
399
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,260
It might not be gold, but Rick's
gonna love this information.
400
00:18:57,261 --> 00:19:00,639
Yeah. A lot of it in one place.
That's what you want.
401
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,724
‐Mm‐hmm.
‐Just so much iron.
402
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:06,311
Why would so much iron
be in this one area?
403
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:08,355
You know this stuff
hasn't washed up.
404
00:19:08,356 --> 00:19:09,522
It's got to be a wharf.
405
00:19:09,523 --> 00:19:11,650
‐Yeah.
‐It has to be. It has to be.
406
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:13,151
We're in the right place.
407
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:15,987
This is a place
where boats came into,
408
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:19,157
and there was activity
in the area.
409
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,992
Whether this is a place
410
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:24,663
where ships were repaired,
or a place where
411
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:27,707
treasure was unloaded,
412
00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:32,128
We've got the finds
to back those theories up now.
413
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:35,965
I mean, these are big pins.
414
00:19:35,966 --> 00:19:37,342
We found an old wharf, mate.
415
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:39,177
‐Yep.
‐It's not every day
416
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,388
you make a new discovery
on Oak Island.
417
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:43,473
No. And this is a really
big discovery, too.
418
00:19:43,474 --> 00:19:46,685
Yeah. Looks like I'm gonna have
to bring a bigger pouch as well.
419
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:47,686
Yeah, right?
420
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:49,562
It's pretty exciting.
421
00:19:49,563 --> 00:19:52,482
As Jack and Gary
continue their search
422
00:19:52,483 --> 00:19:54,859
for more important clues,
423
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:58,196
some 52 miles away
from Oak Island,
424
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,864
in the city of Dartmouth...
425
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,742
Okay, fingers crossed,
toes crossed.
426
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:04,869
...Rick Lagina, Peter Fornetti,
427
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:07,247
Doug Crowell and Billy Gerhardt
428
00:20:07,248 --> 00:20:10,208
arrive at the Helen Creighton
Heritage Museum...
429
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:13,503
‐Kevin.
‐Good day.
430
00:20:13,504 --> 00:20:15,255
...where they've
arranged to meet with
431
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:19,384
Kevin Rideout and
museum curator Terry Eyland.
432
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:22,178
So, Kevin, first of all,
I want to say thank you
433
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:23,596
for coming out.
434
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:25,098
We've been searching
for evidence.
435
00:20:25,099 --> 00:20:29,060
Any local lore, any history,
any knowledge
436
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,228
of where the stone might be.
437
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,230
And so, when you came up
that day, I went,
438
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,690
"Could it be that obvious?
You know?
439
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:36,401
Could it be that apparent?"
440
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:39,863
I mean, I very much look forward
to what you have to tell us.
441
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:43,700
Well, about 40‐plus years ago,
I came here on a tour,
442
00:20:43,701 --> 00:20:46,202
and it was pointed out to me
443
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:49,373
that this stone was down there
from Oak Island.
444
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:53,042
The lady just mentioned
it was brung here
445
00:20:53,043 --> 00:20:54,419
in safekeeping.
446
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:57,839
‐I found it interesting.
‐You actually saw a stone
447
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,340
‐somewhat exposed.
‐Yeah, it was...
448
00:20:59,341 --> 00:21:01,593
it was a protrusion
through the ground,
449
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:04,179
and she pointed out to me
through the window here.
450
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:06,598
And this curator of the building
would not point this out
451
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,349
if it wasn't truthful.
452
00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:11,311
But it had always
been on my mind,
453
00:21:11,312 --> 00:21:14,439
why wasn't it excavated
and let the public see it?
454
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,357
See what's on the stone,
what's on the writings.
455
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:18,902
You can see you're almost
trembling with excitement,
456
00:21:18,903 --> 00:21:20,069
as are we.
457
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:23,948
I mean, I'm interested
in what Terry knows.
458
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:26,075
I'd like to go out back
and speak about it all,
459
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:27,452
‐or get on the site and...
‐Yeah, yeah, yeah.
460
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:29,621
‐Hopefully, uh...
‐It's a lot better to see
461
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:31,623
where we think it is.
462
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:33,709
That would be fantastic.
Kevin, after you.
463
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,795
I have long spoken
464
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:38,588
of finding the one thing,
465
00:21:38,589 --> 00:21:43,176
and this certainly pushes
that boundary for me.
466
00:21:43,177 --> 00:21:46,179
It would be wonderful
to find the 90‐foot stone
467
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:48,014
and to put it
468
00:21:48,015 --> 00:21:50,975
in front of everyone
and say, "Here it is.
469
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:53,478
"Here is one of the most
sought‐after artifacts
470
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:55,480
in the history of Oak Island."
471
00:21:55,481 --> 00:21:57,607
This is the backyard.
472
00:21:57,608 --> 00:21:59,818
That's where we think it is.
473
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:01,653
What do you remember, Kevin?
474
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,154
Uh, I was in that window there.
475
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:05,782
We looked out from that window,
476
00:22:05,783 --> 00:22:08,284
and it was pointed out to me
this side of the rhododendron.
477
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:09,869
There was a grubbings there,
478
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:11,162
‐and there was a stone.
‐In the grassy area,
479
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:12,372
‐or in that small garden?
‐Well, it wasn't grassy.
480
00:22:12,373 --> 00:22:13,957
None of that was there.
481
00:22:13,958 --> 00:22:16,418
That rhododendron bush
is a good 40 years old.
482
00:22:17,753 --> 00:22:19,295
So, supposedly,
483
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:21,297
when the stone
was brought here...
484
00:22:21,298 --> 00:22:23,508
We have
absolutely no record of it
485
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:26,887
because it would've happened
before it was a museum house.
486
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:29,931
Built by a prominent
487
00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:32,517
Dartmouth judge in 1867,
488
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:35,228
the Evergreen House
was later sold
489
00:22:35,229 --> 00:22:37,772
to Dr. Helen Creighton,
a distant relative
490
00:22:37,773 --> 00:22:41,484
of Oak Island treasure hunter
Augustus Oliver Creighton,
491
00:22:41,485 --> 00:22:43,653
in 1919.
492
00:22:43,654 --> 00:22:46,656
Curiously,
it was in this same year
493
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:48,533
that the bookstore in Halifax
494
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:50,368
where the 90‐foot stone
was last seen
495
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:52,453
went out of business.
496
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,831
Well, what relation
was the Creighton family
497
00:22:54,832 --> 00:22:56,207
to the bookstore?
498
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,334
Well, Augustus Oliver Creighton
499
00:22:58,335 --> 00:23:00,545
was one of the partners
in the book bindery,
500
00:23:00,546 --> 00:23:02,046
and Helen Creighton's generation
501
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,215
‐comes down from just above.
‐Oh, okay.
502
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,217
So they would...
they would've been cousins.
503
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:08,177
If this is a family estate,
it's pretty logical
504
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:10,722
that you might've brought it,
you know, back here, too.
505
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:14,183
This whole ridge was, uh,
was Creighton property.
506
00:23:14,184 --> 00:23:16,060
It could be
under that rhododendron.
507
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:18,021
Let's go look.
508
00:23:18,022 --> 00:23:19,063
Yeah. Let's head down there.
509
00:23:19,064 --> 00:23:20,356
Yeah. So, let's head down.
510
00:23:20,357 --> 00:23:22,358
You know, as we
511
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,861
walk down the back hill
towards the spot,
512
00:23:24,862 --> 00:23:27,864
I'm actually excited about
the prospect of finding it.
513
00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:30,825
The idea that the 90‐foot stone
that was once
514
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:32,869
at the A. O. Creighton bookstore
and now it resides
515
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:34,245
at the Creighton
family residence...
516
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:36,414
I find that to be consistent.
517
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:38,416
It would stay within the family.
518
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:40,418
So,
519
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:42,086
if it is under here,
520
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:45,506
then, you know, you can
actually go in and around.
521
00:23:45,507 --> 00:23:47,884
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐Um...
522
00:23:47,885 --> 00:23:50,178
‐I'll go in.
523
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:52,097
Oh, that's thick.
524
00:24:09,573 --> 00:24:12,533
No, I don't feel anything...
525
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:15,621
‐obvious poking up.
No.
526
00:24:17,247 --> 00:24:19,791
It's a really likely possibility
that it could
527
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,668
‐still be there.
‐Yeah.
528
00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:24,462
I‐I think we need to pursue
529
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,214
an archaeological dig. I mean,
530
00:24:26,215 --> 00:24:28,591
‐it can't be that deep.
‐Sure.
531
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:31,594
Unfortunately, we didn't find
the stone itself,
532
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,972
but it could still be hiding.
533
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:37,809
It's in the proper location,
according to Kevin.
534
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:40,144
So, there's a lot of work
to be done.
535
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:42,480
So, gentlemen,
536
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:45,149
‐I think there's a path
to move forward. ‐ Mm‐hmm.
537
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:47,193
Uh, get a permit.
I mean, you're willing
538
00:24:47,194 --> 00:24:49,779
to come back.
We're willing to come back.
539
00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:51,280
We can make this look
a lot nicer
540
00:24:51,281 --> 00:24:52,615
‐postinvestigation.
Right.
541
00:24:52,616 --> 00:24:54,617
There's more positive
about this experience
542
00:24:54,618 --> 00:24:55,994
‐than negative, that's for sure.
‐Mm‐hmm.
543
00:24:55,995 --> 00:24:57,954
And if there's a way
to move forward, we just...
544
00:24:57,955 --> 00:25:00,164
‐we go for it.
‐I think it's great.
545
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,667
Because further exploration
546
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,168
of the site
will involve digging
547
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:06,671
on the museum grounds,
Rick and the team
548
00:25:06,672 --> 00:25:09,632
will have to first obtain
a government permit.
549
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:11,801
It will still take
a few more weeks
550
00:25:11,802 --> 00:25:14,012
before he'll know
if the tip he received
551
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:17,015
at Dan Blankenship's funeral
was a good one.
552
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:19,308
We leave with some regret,
553
00:25:19,309 --> 00:25:21,352
but none of us
are gonna walk away from this
554
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:25,523
without doing everything we can
to‐to explore the site.
555
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:29,027
The idea is to go back
and do an excavation.
556
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:30,528
Kevin, I just want
to say thank you.
557
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:32,864
I mean, we didn't find it today,
558
00:25:32,865 --> 00:25:35,366
but I think
amongst the five of us,
559
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:38,161
certainly,
we believe it's still here.
560
00:25:38,162 --> 00:25:39,370
‐Yeah.
‐Uh, so, gentlemen,
561
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,873
I say we get this ball rolling.
562
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:44,043
So, let's go.
Let's head off.
563
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,008
As a new day begins
on Oak Island...
564
00:25:52,009 --> 00:25:53,176
Dr. Jardine.
565
00:25:53,177 --> 00:25:55,136
Good morning, gentlemen.
566
00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:56,846
...brothers Rick
and Marty Lagina,
567
00:25:56,847 --> 00:25:59,223
along with their partner
Craig Tester
568
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:02,351
and Dave Blankenship
meet with representatives
569
00:26:02,352 --> 00:26:05,354
from Irving Equipment Limited
at Smith's Cove
570
00:26:05,355 --> 00:26:08,149
to check on the progress
of the bump out extension
571
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:11,319
being added
to the massive steel cofferdam.
572
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,863
Well, where are we at, Mike,
currently?
573
00:26:13,864 --> 00:26:16,032
We got all the frames in,
all in location.
574
00:26:16,033 --> 00:26:18,659
‐ That is the bump out
right there, right? ‐Yes.
575
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:23,081
And we've got both corners
turned and we're ready to start.
576
00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:26,334
‐Okay. ‐But this morning
I was down there,
577
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:28,753
and there's a structure
down there.
578
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:33,591
It's got horizontals and then
there's vertical wood standing.
579
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:36,052
You mean, it's not part of the,
uh, ramp? There was something...
580
00:26:36,053 --> 00:26:37,930
‐Looks very different.
‐Wow.
581
00:26:40,057 --> 00:26:42,558
Outside of the old...
of the first cofferdam?
582
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,143
‐Yes.
‐Wow.
583
00:26:44,144 --> 00:26:46,145
A wooden structure?
584
00:26:46,146 --> 00:26:47,814
Found during the construction
585
00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:49,982
of the cofferdam
bump out extension?
586
00:26:49,983 --> 00:26:53,444
Could it be related
to the 18th century slipway
587
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,863
the team unearthed here
one year ago?
588
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:59,492
Or might it possibly be
even older?
589
00:26:59,493 --> 00:27:00,868
I want to walk out there
590
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:02,495
and see if I can...
Uh, can you see
591
00:27:02,496 --> 00:27:04,330
‐any sight of it?
‐We'll go around that way there.
592
00:27:04,331 --> 00:27:06,082
‐It's better access. ‐Go around that way?
Okay. All right.
593
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:08,251
Rick is always talking
about how people
594
00:27:08,252 --> 00:27:10,253
become invested in this,
595
00:27:10,254 --> 00:27:13,005
and, uh, Mike Jardine
is certainly no exception.
596
00:27:13,006 --> 00:27:15,091
I mean, he's out there
to do a job,
597
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:18,302
and a complex job
with heavy‐duty equipment,
598
00:27:18,303 --> 00:27:20,680
but he's also doing
a little exploring on his own,
599
00:27:20,681 --> 00:27:23,516
you know, and he thinks
he found a structure out there.
600
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:25,351
‐See those two logs there, Mike?
Yes.
601
00:27:25,352 --> 00:27:27,186
Is that the end of the slipway
or is that...
602
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:30,064
Well, that seemed to be
where the end of it would be.
603
00:27:30,065 --> 00:27:32,441
‐Mm‐hmm. ‐Uh, but just
on the inside of that,
604
00:27:32,442 --> 00:27:35,111
there's this square structure
605
00:27:35,112 --> 00:27:37,656
that, you know, looks like
it's built like a shaft.
606
00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:41,617
The interesting thing
is its location.
607
00:27:41,618 --> 00:27:45,246
It's ten feet underwater
at high tide.
608
00:27:45,247 --> 00:27:46,873
As far out as it is,
609
00:27:46,874 --> 00:27:50,251
I can't imagine
how this was constructed.
610
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:53,504
It's a little too early to say
definitively what it is,
611
00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:57,383
but anything pre‐searcher
is of keen interest.
612
00:27:57,384 --> 00:27:59,427
We'll get it dried up
and we'll investigate it.
613
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:01,429
So, we have two options, really.
614
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:03,598
We can dig this
if we follow something back,
615
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:07,393
and then you're okay, as long
as we notify your engineers.
616
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,854
We might be able to dig
very close with some tiebacks.
617
00:28:09,855 --> 00:28:11,439
Yep.
618
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,899
I think it'll be interesting
what you're gonna,
619
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:14,525
what you're gonna find
right there because
620
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:15,943
there's definitely,
there was a reason why they did
621
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:17,486
what they did there
and hopefully
622
00:28:17,487 --> 00:28:19,155
we can find the reason.
623
00:28:19,156 --> 00:28:21,824
Well, hopefully
there's some answers out there.
624
00:28:21,825 --> 00:28:24,577
While the team
from Irving Equipment Limited
625
00:28:24,578 --> 00:28:27,622
continues building
the cofferdam extension,
626
00:28:27,623 --> 00:28:31,834
Craig Tester joins Alex Lagina,
Steve Guptill,
627
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:35,546
Charles Barkhouse and geologist
Terry Matheson
628
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:37,548
at the Money Pit site,
where the drilling operation
629
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:40,928
to locate Shaft Two
is well underway.
630
00:28:43,263 --> 00:28:44,472
How you doing, Colton?
631
00:28:44,473 --> 00:28:45,681
‐Good. You?
‐What do you got?
632
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:47,475
‐15.
‐Good. Thanks a lot, man.
633
00:28:47,476 --> 00:28:49,436
No worries.
634
00:28:58,362 --> 00:29:00,614
Looks like we've got something
interesting there.
635
00:29:02,115 --> 00:29:04,033
That'd be disturbed.
636
00:29:04,034 --> 00:29:05,368
Yeah. I'm no geologist,
637
00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:06,702
but that looks disturbed to me.
638
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:10,081
Yeah. Maybe we're close
to something.
639
00:29:10,082 --> 00:29:12,792
Finding what appears
to be disturbed soil
640
00:29:12,793 --> 00:29:14,794
means that human activity
has taken place
641
00:29:14,795 --> 00:29:17,129
at some time in the past.
642
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:20,633
Could it also be evidence that
the team is close to finding
643
00:29:20,634 --> 00:29:23,010
the location of Shaft Two?
644
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:25,554
We do know, relatively speaking,
645
00:29:25,555 --> 00:29:29,600
the positions of the various
shafts vis‐à‐vis the Money Pit.
646
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:33,813
We need these
interlocking pieces.
647
00:29:33,814 --> 00:29:38,234
Nine goes to Two,
Two goes to X marks the spot.
648
00:29:38,235 --> 00:29:41,195
We use that as stepping stones
649
00:29:41,196 --> 00:29:43,072
to get to where we really want
to go, and that is,
650
00:29:43,073 --> 00:29:45,575
"Where is
the original Money Pit?"
651
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,496
Okay.
652
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:53,457
‐Oh, wood.
‐ Hello!
653
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:54,667
Cool.
654
00:29:54,668 --> 00:29:56,210
Definitely got wood.
655
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:58,295
Just pieces of it,
but this is definitely wood.
656
00:29:58,296 --> 00:30:02,175
Good. This bodes well for us
being in the middle of a shaft.
657
00:30:03,719 --> 00:30:05,928
This could really be
a big breakthrough for us,
658
00:30:05,929 --> 00:30:09,223
and we might be close
to finding Shaft Two.
659
00:30:09,224 --> 00:30:10,766
We clipped the wood
a little bit.
660
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:12,268
We know that shaft
is there somewhere.
661
00:30:12,269 --> 00:30:14,061
We don't know where, exactly.
662
00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:16,356
So, it just seems to be, you
know, getting better and better.
663
00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:29,201
‐SOh, look at the wood. d.
O‐ Wow.
664
00:30:29,202 --> 00:30:31,495
That's nothing
but a shaft. ‐Yeah. Absolutely.
665
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:32,997
While drilling at a depth
666
00:30:32,998 --> 00:30:35,916
of some 33 feet
in the Money Pit area...
667
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:38,127
All about stacked lumber here.
668
00:30:38,128 --> 00:30:41,881
...Craig Tester,
Alex Lagina and members
669
00:30:41,882 --> 00:30:44,800
of the Oak Island team
have located a wooden structure
670
00:30:44,801 --> 00:30:48,345
that they hope to be the one
known as Shaft Two.
671
00:30:48,346 --> 00:30:51,307
It was this searcher shaft
that was dug
672
00:30:51,308 --> 00:30:53,017
by treasure hunter
Daniel McGinnis
673
00:30:53,018 --> 00:30:55,644
and his partners in 1805
674
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:58,189
in the hope of avoiding
the booby‐trapped flood tunnels
675
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:01,400
that thwarted their efforts
to keep digging straight down
676
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:04,653
in the original
Money Pit shaft.
677
00:31:04,654 --> 00:31:07,364
Wow, did we ever catch the edge
678
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:09,575
of some beautifully stacked
timbers there.
679
00:31:09,576 --> 00:31:11,243
‐Yeah.
‐ We are in a shaft.
680
00:31:11,244 --> 00:31:13,621
There's no question about that.
681
00:31:13,622 --> 00:31:15,081
This is definitely not a tunnel.
682
00:31:15,082 --> 00:31:17,416
For one thing,
it's too close to the surface.
683
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:18,876
‐Mm‐hmm.
‐If you're gonna do a tunnel,
684
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:20,586
you're gonna do it much deeper
into the ground.
685
00:31:20,587 --> 00:31:24,173
So, we're definitely in a shaft.
There's no question about that.
686
00:31:24,174 --> 00:31:25,592
Well, that's good news.
687
00:31:26,802 --> 00:31:28,344
You go through periods
688
00:31:28,345 --> 00:31:31,180
where you just don't have
any luck on the island.
689
00:31:31,181 --> 00:31:33,099
And so when you start
hitting a shaft
690
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:34,308
and hitting it right away...
691
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:35,684
We have more work to do,
692
00:31:35,685 --> 00:31:37,603
but at least we know
where it's at.
693
00:31:37,604 --> 00:31:41,774
And if this is Shaft Two,
we know that we're finally
694
00:31:41,775 --> 00:31:44,402
honing in on where
that Money Pit actually was.
695
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:47,154
‐Hey, guys.
‐ Hey.
696
00:31:47,155 --> 00:31:48,531
What do you got here?
697
00:31:48,532 --> 00:31:50,616
‐ I heard good news.
‐Yes. Good news is right.
698
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:52,993
Rick, jump in here.
699
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:55,913
So we're definitely on the edge
of a sh... on a shaft.
700
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:57,373
This is the edge of it.
701
00:31:57,374 --> 00:31:59,041
You just caught
the edge of it right now,
702
00:31:59,042 --> 00:32:00,209
as you're running down?
703
00:32:00,210 --> 00:32:01,877
We're definitely
going down a wall.
704
00:32:01,878 --> 00:32:03,129
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
705
00:32:03,130 --> 00:32:05,548
We just don't know which wall,
at this point.
706
00:32:05,549 --> 00:32:09,135
The question is
do we keep taking this down,
707
00:32:09,136 --> 00:32:10,845
or do we move over
to the center of the shaft
708
00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:12,721
and, and go down from there.
709
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:14,557
Okay, well, here's the thing.
It's an easy call.
710
00:32:14,558 --> 00:32:15,933
‐Keep drilling.
Yeah.
711
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:17,268
Okay.
712
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:19,854
Keep drilling till you run out
of wall. And then...
713
00:32:19,855 --> 00:32:23,149
then a decision has to be made:
north, south, east, west.
714
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:25,401
‐But we should
punch another hole. ‐Okay.
715
00:32:25,402 --> 00:32:28,279
Now that the team
has possibly found
716
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,864
one wall of Shaft Two,
717
00:32:29,865 --> 00:32:32,241
they will drill several more
adjacent holes
718
00:32:32,242 --> 00:32:35,661
in an effort to not only
confirm the discovery,
719
00:32:35,662 --> 00:32:38,122
but also orient them
to the other three walls
720
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:39,665
of the square structure.
721
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:42,543
This will tell them exactly
which direction
722
00:32:42,544 --> 00:32:44,503
the original Money Pit
was known to be located,
723
00:32:44,504 --> 00:32:46,714
some 14 feet away.
724
00:32:46,715 --> 00:32:49,133
If this is the shaft,
that's great news.
725
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:50,926
But we can't prove it yet.
726
00:32:50,927 --> 00:32:53,930
Am I hopeful? Yes.
Do I want it to be there? Yes.
727
00:32:54,723 --> 00:32:57,017
But you have to have more proof.
728
00:32:58,435 --> 00:33:00,311
It's all exciting.
I mean, this is a...
729
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:01,812
it's a huge win.
730
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,815
Keep drilling.
731
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,321
The following day,
732
00:33:10,322 --> 00:33:13,574
as the drilling operation
near the Money Pit continues...
733
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:15,159
There you go, Gary.
734
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,785
Getting ready
to de‐water this puppy.
735
00:33:16,786 --> 00:33:19,622
...Marty Lagina
and his son Alex,
736
00:33:19,623 --> 00:33:22,541
along with Gray Drayton
and Charles Barkhouse,
737
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:25,377
arrive at Smith's Cove
after receiving word
738
00:33:25,378 --> 00:33:27,421
that the team from
Irving Equipment Limited
739
00:33:27,422 --> 00:33:30,841
has finished building
the 6,000‐square foot bump out
740
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:32,760
of the steel cofferdam.
741
00:33:32,761 --> 00:33:34,679
That's a bump out.
742
00:33:36,139 --> 00:33:38,599
Doesn't that look sweet?
743
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,392
Man, you guys from Irving
don't waste time, do you?
744
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:42,228
‐I love it.
745
00:33:42,229 --> 00:33:43,812
She's ready to go.
746
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:45,773
What we're gonna do here now
is we're gonna pull the sheet up
747
00:33:45,774 --> 00:33:47,399
‐while we wait for the tide
to go down. ‐ Yeah.
748
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,984
Oh, you got one open
to let it out,
749
00:33:48,985 --> 00:33:50,736
‐then you're gonna seal it up?
‐We're gonna pull one, yeah.
750
00:33:50,737 --> 00:33:52,696
‐Okay.
‐And let it go. Yeah.
751
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:55,407
In order to expedite draining
the thousands of gallons
752
00:33:55,408 --> 00:33:58,702
of seawater that
currently flood the area,
753
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:01,247
the team from
Irving Equipment Limited
754
00:34:01,248 --> 00:34:02,998
will pull one sheet
of the steel piling
755
00:34:02,999 --> 00:34:04,375
up and out of place.
756
00:34:04,376 --> 00:34:06,335
There she goes!
757
00:34:06,336 --> 00:34:08,504
This will reduce the amount
of pumping necessary
758
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:10,381
to completely dry out the area,
759
00:34:10,382 --> 00:34:13,217
and allow the team
to begin excavating
760
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:15,761
for new, important clues.
761
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:17,972
We started on Smith's Cove
762
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:19,932
to find its secrets.
763
00:34:19,933 --> 00:34:23,185
We always want to know what
might be hidden in that dirt.
764
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:26,814
Now, we've got a sufficient
bump out, and here we are
765
00:34:26,815 --> 00:34:28,232
with the means
and the opportunity.
766
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:29,401
And the motive.
767
00:34:30,443 --> 00:34:32,444
So is that a timber right there?
768
00:34:32,445 --> 00:34:34,280
Kind of sticking up?
769
00:34:34,281 --> 00:34:36,365
There is a couple timbers there,
and then the structure
770
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:38,034
is over to the right of that.
771
00:34:39,661 --> 00:34:41,870
It's starting
to come out there now.
772
00:34:41,871 --> 00:34:43,664
I'd like to go down there
and take a look.
773
00:34:43,665 --> 00:34:44,790
There's no problem, is there?
774
00:34:44,791 --> 00:34:46,208
‐No. No problem at all.
‐Let's do it.
775
00:34:46,209 --> 00:34:48,877
There's this new structure
that's been uncovered.
776
00:34:48,878 --> 00:34:52,006
So, very curious
about what that is,
777
00:34:52,007 --> 00:34:54,508
and specifically,
how old is it?
778
00:34:54,509 --> 00:34:55,718
That's what makes it exciting.
779
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,636
It was right here, Marty.
780
00:34:57,637 --> 00:35:00,014
Wow. Look at that.
781
00:35:00,015 --> 00:35:03,392
You got these... these boards
that are upright.
782
00:35:03,393 --> 00:35:05,269
And these timbers in behind it.
783
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:08,480
‐ Very interesting.
‐ You ever seen anything like that before?
784
00:35:08,481 --> 00:35:09,732
Never.
785
00:35:09,733 --> 00:35:12,944
Well, mystery number one
for Smith's Cove.
786
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:22,077
I'm, uh, pretty excited
about this bump out.
787
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:24,663
You know,
the opportunity, to, uh,
788
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:27,416
hopefully hit intact materials.
789
00:35:27,417 --> 00:35:30,294
‐We're going
in virgin territory now. ‐Yeah.
790
00:35:30,295 --> 00:35:32,755
One day after construction
791
00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:35,466
of the cofferdam bump out
was completed,
792
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:37,468
Rick Lagina, Craig Tester,
793
00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:39,970
and archaeologist Laird Niven
794
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:42,264
are eager to investigate
the recently discovered
795
00:35:42,265 --> 00:35:45,351
wooden structure
at Smith's Cove.
796
00:35:45,352 --> 00:35:47,645
I mean, there's this, you know,
797
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:50,773
what Mike Jardine saw:
this box‐like structure.
798
00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:52,733
Mm‐hmm.
799
00:35:52,734 --> 00:35:53,901
The entire cove is dry,
800
00:35:53,902 --> 00:35:56,195
so, I hate to say it
801
00:35:56,196 --> 00:35:57,571
‐everything's looking
as good as it can be.
802
00:35:57,572 --> 00:35:59,698
Yeah.
803
00:35:59,699 --> 00:36:01,241
I think we're all excited
804
00:36:01,242 --> 00:36:03,619
about this structure
in Smith's Cove.
805
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:05,746
There has been
no historical record,
806
00:36:05,747 --> 00:36:07,581
and there has been
807
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:09,583
no physical investigative work
808
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:11,335
in this location, so
809
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:14,797
opening that door today is...
I think everyone's excited
810
00:36:14,798 --> 00:36:17,716
about the prospect of finding
something possibly
811
00:36:17,717 --> 00:36:19,093
related to the treasure.
812
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:21,679
Where's the wood structure at?
813
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,722
See that section there?
That little piece?
814
00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:25,516
Oh, yeah.
‐The box is right there.
815
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:27,851
That's outside
of Dan's cofferdam.
816
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:30,355
‐Anyway, let's go look at it.
‐All right.
817
00:36:32,107 --> 00:36:33,982
Hey, Billy.
818
00:36:33,983 --> 00:36:35,401
Billy!
819
00:36:35,402 --> 00:36:38,529
How far do you think
it comes back?
820
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:40,155
Well, I don't know.
821
00:36:40,156 --> 00:36:42,199
Laird, what do you think?
822
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,452
I don't know.
‐Yeah.
823
00:36:46,996 --> 00:36:50,582
I don't know why this is here.
I don't know what this would be.
824
00:36:50,583 --> 00:36:52,710
It's the strangest thing.
825
00:36:52,711 --> 00:36:53,794
Yeah.
826
00:36:53,795 --> 00:36:56,547
So, how do we start here, Laird?
827
00:36:56,548 --> 00:36:57,840
I think the most effective way
828
00:36:57,841 --> 00:37:00,426
is to do the profiling
of the side of it.
829
00:37:00,427 --> 00:37:02,845
‐Right. That worked good
last year, so... ‐Yeah.
830
00:37:02,846 --> 00:37:03,929
‐Yup.
‐ Okay, well,
831
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:05,431
nothing I like better
than the words
832
00:37:05,432 --> 00:37:07,224
"let's get going," so.
833
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:09,561
‐Billy, crank that up.
Let's get going. Yup.
834
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:21,822
The problem with
this log structure
835
00:37:21,823 --> 00:37:24,408
that we found in Smith's Cove
is simply this:
836
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:26,994
Is it a very simple explanation
837
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:28,912
or is it much more complex?
838
00:37:28,913 --> 00:37:32,583
Either way, we've a lot of work
to do to try to uncover
839
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:34,586
what it is
and why it was put there.
840
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:39,423
‐Hey, guys.
‐Howdy, Craig.
841
00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:41,383
We've got this structure
right here.
842
00:37:41,384 --> 00:37:43,677
‐Okay. ‐Just starting to uncover it
a little bit,
843
00:37:43,678 --> 00:37:45,512
so I want to check for metal.
844
00:37:45,513 --> 00:37:47,222
Okay.
845
00:37:47,223 --> 00:37:49,100
‐We'll see if
there's any metal in here. ‐Okay.
846
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:54,898
‐ No. That's trash.
847
00:37:59,486 --> 00:38:02,614
That was too close.
848
00:38:05,867 --> 00:38:08,077
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
849
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:11,330
Hang on.
850
00:38:11,331 --> 00:38:12,957
What is that?
851
00:38:18,046 --> 00:38:20,798
What is that tar paper?
What is that?
852
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:22,425
Looks like tar paper,
doesn't it?
853
00:38:23,843 --> 00:38:26,136
‐ It's tar papered
all the way down. ‐ Really?
854
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,597
Yep.
855
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:31,350
Tar paper is a heavy‐duty
waterproofing material,
856
00:38:31,351 --> 00:38:33,644
which was widely used
in construction
857
00:38:33,645 --> 00:38:35,480
in the 19th century.
858
00:38:37,232 --> 00:38:40,317
Does it mean that the structure
at Smith's Cove
859
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:41,944
was built by treasure hunters;
860
00:38:41,945 --> 00:38:44,656
and not
the original depositors?
861
00:38:51,746 --> 00:38:52,913
Ain't that something?
862
00:38:52,914 --> 00:38:55,082
Look at how
that's packed in there.
863
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:56,917
Am I seeing things,
864
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:59,545
or is there, like,
a bunch of cobble?
865
00:38:59,546 --> 00:39:01,421
Quite distinctive, isn't it?
866
00:39:01,422 --> 00:39:03,924
We see piles of rocks
all over the place.
867
00:39:03,925 --> 00:39:05,968
‐They look like
they've been stacked. ‐Yeah.
868
00:39:05,969 --> 00:39:08,011
If you're gonna
build a reservoir
869
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:09,471
to feed your finger drains,
870
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:11,598
you'd throw a whole bunch
of rocks in the hole, right?
871
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,183
And they would hold water.
872
00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:14,519
Is this part of
the flood tunnel system?
873
00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:19,064
It's possible.
874
00:39:19,065 --> 00:39:20,774
Stacked rocks?
875
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:23,861
Found alongside
the mysterious log structure?
876
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:27,030
And in an area where
no previously documented search
877
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:28,657
has taken place?
878
00:39:28,658 --> 00:39:30,742
Could the team have
just found evidence
879
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:33,245
connecting this
log and stone structure
880
00:39:33,246 --> 00:39:35,956
to the legendary booby‐traps
that feed seawater
881
00:39:35,957 --> 00:39:38,042
into the Money Pit?
882
00:39:44,716 --> 00:39:46,384
See that?
883
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:51,722
That's a substantial amount
of water coming through there.
884
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:54,433
‐See that water coming out?
‐Yeah.
885
00:39:54,434 --> 00:39:55,976
It's coming out from underneath.
886
00:39:55,977 --> 00:39:57,561
I think this
is the flood tunnel system;
887
00:39:57,562 --> 00:39:59,396
the finger drain
that they recorded.
888
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:01,398
That everyone talked about.
889
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:02,900
Yeah, could be, couldn't it?
890
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:05,861
‐ We have to keep digging
to find out. ‐Exactly.
891
00:40:05,862 --> 00:40:08,405
I think what we do is,
have Billy continue,
892
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:10,991
see if that feature continues
this way or that way.
893
00:40:10,992 --> 00:40:14,077
If we find that there,
894
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:15,246
I would tend to agree
with Jack.
895
00:40:16,539 --> 00:40:18,790
If this is part of
the flood tunnel system,
896
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:21,335
then we have intercepted
the hydraulic connection
897
00:40:21,336 --> 00:40:23,045
to the Money Pit.
That's huge.
898
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:24,504
If all that existed
899
00:40:24,505 --> 00:40:27,299
to conceal something
of immense value,
900
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:28,508
then these theories
901
00:40:28,509 --> 00:40:30,844
immediately ratchet up
to more credible.
902
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:34,556
Theories that something indeed
happened here long ago,
903
00:40:34,557 --> 00:40:38,518
which may or may not
change history as we know it.
904
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,896
Another day, another structure.
905
00:40:40,897 --> 00:40:42,648
We got off to a good start.
906
00:40:42,649 --> 00:40:44,232
Let's see if we can find
anything else.
907
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:45,692
There you go.
908
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,861
For Rick, Marty,
and their team,
909
00:40:47,862 --> 00:40:50,530
the important clues they need
in order to solve
910
00:40:50,531 --> 00:40:53,033
the 224‐year‐old
Oak Island mystery
911
00:40:53,034 --> 00:40:55,911
are getting closer every day.
912
00:40:55,912 --> 00:40:58,538
But as they continue
their ambitious operations
913
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:02,459
at Smith's Cove,
in the triangle‐shaped swamp,
914
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:04,461
and at the fabled money pit,
915
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:07,631
will they find the answers
they have been looking for?
916
00:41:07,632 --> 00:41:10,676
Or will they only discover
those answers
917
00:41:10,677 --> 00:41:12,761
they have been
allowed to find...
918
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:15,681
by those who buried something
deep on Oak Island
919
00:41:15,682 --> 00:41:18,393
more than two centuries ago?
920
00:41:23,231 --> 00:41:24,898
Next time on
The Curse of Oak Island...
921
00:41:24,899 --> 00:41:26,233
Oh, wow, look at that.
922
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:28,151
‐ Oh, it is a timber.
‐ It's a timber.
923
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:30,779
We don't have any structures
like this on any of our maps.
924
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:33,365
This could be
some of the early workings.
925
00:41:33,366 --> 00:41:34,992
This painting was an instrument
926
00:41:34,993 --> 00:41:37,744
to record a secret
about Oak Island.
927
00:41:37,745 --> 00:41:40,831
I would dig
where the shepherd points.
928
00:41:40,832 --> 00:41:42,541
‐ Wow.
Lots of wood.
929
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:44,292
‐ We're on a corner.
‐ The Money Pit's
930
00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:46,294
‐14 feet away.
‐That's stunning.
931
00:41:46,295 --> 00:41:47,546
I mean, that's zeroing in.
932
00:41:47,547 --> 00:41:49,257
The Money Pit
may no longer be lost.
933
00:41:50,842 --> 00:41:56,745
