1
00:00:03,503 --> 00:00:04,713
Wow.
2
00:00:04,713 --> 00:00:05,923
‐Check that out.
‐There. Look at that.
3
00:00:05,923 --> 00:00:07,591
‐That's the floor.
‐DOUG: We got a shaft
4
00:00:07,591 --> 00:00:10,260
‐and we got a tunnel
coming off it to the west.
‐GARY: Oh, yeah.
5
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:12,513
That is one heck of a log,
isn't it?
6
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:14,473
RICK:
That's massive. Puzzle pieces
are getting bigger.
7
00:00:14,473 --> 00:00:16,225
Picture's getting smaller.
8
00:00:16,225 --> 00:00:18,769
CORJAN:
If you would draw the lines
to find the center, this is the
9
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:20,312
dead center of the pentagram.
10
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:22,940
CHRIS:
Right on the eye of the swamp.
11
00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:25,484
The swamp dates
at around 1220 AD.
12
00:00:25,484 --> 00:00:28,862
‐This is Templar, baby.
‐(laughter)
13
00:00:31,156 --> 00:00:34,785
NARRATOR:There is an islandin the North Atlantic
14
00:00:34,785 --> 00:00:38,288
where people have been lookingfor an incredible treasure
15
00:00:38,288 --> 00:00:41,583
for more than 200 years.
16
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:44,670
So far, they have founda stone slab
17
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,339
with strange symbolscarved into it,
18
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:50,175
mysterious fragmentsof human bone,
19
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:53,971
and a lead crosswhose origin may stretch back
20
00:00:53,971 --> 00:00:56,515
to the daysof the Knights Templar.
21
00:00:56,515 --> 00:01:00,978
To date, six men have diedtrying to solve the mystery.
22
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:04,147
And, according to legend,
23
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:07,234
one more will have to die
24
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:10,904
before the treasurecan be found.
25
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:16,577
♪ ♪
26
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:36,054
TERRY:Oh! Oh! Oh!
27
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:38,682
Look at this. Wow. Oh, my.
28
00:01:38,682 --> 00:01:40,559
That's a box joint, right there.
29
00:01:40,559 --> 00:01:43,562
NARRATOR:After finding what they believeto be the location
30
00:01:43,562 --> 00:01:46,565
of Oak Island's firstand oldest searcher shaft,
31
00:01:46,565 --> 00:01:48,567
Shaft Two, which was dug
32
00:01:48,567 --> 00:01:50,861
by treasure hunterDaniel McGinnis
33
00:01:50,861 --> 00:01:52,321
and his partners in hopes
34
00:01:52,321 --> 00:01:55,407
of finding a back doorinto the fabled Money Pit,
35
00:01:55,407 --> 00:01:59,077
brothers Rick and Marty Laginaand members of their team
36
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:02,039
are convinced that yearsof scanning, testing,
37
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:06,168
and drillingare finally paying off.
38
00:02:06,168 --> 00:02:09,588
RICK:We found the firstsearcher shaft
39
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,174
in close proximityto the original Money Pit.
40
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:13,634
It doesn't getany better than that,
41
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:16,470
other than if the core
had come up
42
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:19,139
with a piece of treasure in it.
43
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:21,683
Nothing could be better
at this point.
44
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:23,435
We have to take advantage of it.
45
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,105
MARTY:Well, here's the deal, guys.
46
00:02:27,105 --> 00:02:29,191
We found Shaft Two, we believe.
Right, Steve? Rick?
47
00:02:29,191 --> 00:02:31,360
‐We do.
‐RICK: Yep.
48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,571
So, what do we do next?
49
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:36,406
I would assume that the way
you're looking at Shaft Two,
50
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:40,077
sitting here, from our
current drill program.
51
00:02:40,077 --> 00:02:41,495
We're all pretty comfortable,
including yourself,
52
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:43,413
was that's the orientation
of Shaft Two.
53
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:45,916
Now we just need to get
the orientation of the tunnel.
54
00:02:45,916 --> 00:02:48,627
Shaft Two is a better
reference point than Shaft Nine.
55
00:02:48,627 --> 00:02:50,545
Yeah.
56
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:52,381
That will lead us
to the Money Pit.
57
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:54,716
DOUG:
The tunnel's the better target.
58
00:02:54,716 --> 00:02:56,635
The lore that's been
passed down to us
59
00:02:56,635 --> 00:02:58,387
was that it was 14 feet away.
60
00:02:58,387 --> 00:03:00,138
They dug over 12,
61
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:02,349
and then the water broke in
and chased them out.
62
00:03:02,349 --> 00:03:04,851
‐Yeah.
‐What a shock.
63
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:07,229
They never actually fully
reached the Money Pit proper.
64
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:09,648
‐Well, it reached it for 'em.
‐Yeah. It came to them.
65
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:12,192
So there could be treasure
in that tunnel.
66
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:13,568
It's possible.
67
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:15,404
‐There could be.
‐Yeah.
68
00:03:15,404 --> 00:03:16,863
You have to go after the tunnel.
69
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:19,574
MARTY:
So I think we should drill
70
00:03:19,574 --> 00:03:21,076
a bunch more holes
or several more
71
00:03:21,076 --> 00:03:22,786
and try and delineate
that tunnel.
72
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:23,995
Yeah.
73
00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:26,665
Look, I‐I think all of this
l‐lends itself
74
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:29,459
to making one simple statement,
and that is:
75
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:32,879
looking backwards in time
is gonna facilitate us
76
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,339
being much more efficient
77
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:36,216
in terms of where we dig
the eight‐foot can.
78
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:39,761
We now have two significant
reference points
79
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:41,638
in terms of finding
and delineating
80
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,390
where the Money Pit might be,
81
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,725
so it'd be foolish
not to chase this tunnel,
82
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:47,978
and hopefully we get
an "X marks the spot."
83
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:49,521
Well, Steve,
if you have time right now,
84
00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:51,064
let's go out
and pin a couple holes.
85
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:53,024
‐Sure.
‐'Cause you've got these
marked right where we can
86
00:03:53,024 --> 00:03:54,943
relocate them and we can see
where we want to go.
87
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:56,903
Let's go do it.
88
00:03:58,947 --> 00:04:01,825
NARRATOR:Following their meetingin the war room,
89
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:05,287
historian Doug Crowelland surveyor Steve Guptill
90
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:06,872
head to the Money Pit site.
91
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:08,915
Doug, you wouldn't grab me
a spike and a hammer?
92
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:10,709
DOUG:
I got a spike
and I got a hatchet.
93
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:12,294
STEVE G.:
Is this our recent one?
94
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:15,380
‐Yeah.
‐Well, we're just
two straight feet north of it.
95
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,549
So we should be
in here somewhere.
96
00:04:17,549 --> 00:04:21,553
NARRATOR:Using the GPS data collectedfrom their previous boreholes,
97
00:04:21,553 --> 00:04:25,098
Steve Guptill will now markthe new drilling site
98
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,809
where the team should encounterthe Shaft Two tunnel
99
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:30,729
at a depth of some 110 feet.
100
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,440
If the archival datais correct,
101
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,901
this tunnel,although never completed,
102
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:38,612
should lead the Laginasand their partners
103
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:42,115
directly to the originalMoney Pit treasure shaft.
104
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:46,161
Now the critical piece
of missing information is:
105
00:04:46,161 --> 00:04:48,121
what is the orientation
of the tunnel?
106
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:52,626
Does it go west by southwest,
or does it go west by northwest?
107
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:54,586
Where does it lie?
108
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:57,088
Right there, Doug.
109
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:02,552
MIKE T.:
Good to go?
110
00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:05,055
‐DOUG: Yep.
‐All right.
111
00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:15,106
Here's hoping,
I mean, hopefully,
112
00:05:15,106 --> 00:05:17,400
this is the one, right? Like,
hopefully, this is our tunnel.
113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,152
TERRY:
That's good.
Well, here's hoping.
114
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:21,655

They're eager to find artifactsthat could provide
122
00:05:43,385 --> 00:05:45,971
important information, not only
123
00:05:45,971 --> 00:05:48,181
about when the Oak Islandtreasure was buried,
124
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,934
but also who buried it.
125
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:52,477
Can we get through here, Billy?
126
00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:53,895
BILLY:
Yeah, I think if you
127
00:05:53,895 --> 00:05:56,982
come here and then follow
those rocks, it'd be okay.
128
00:05:56,982 --> 00:05:59,109
They got a few spots there
for you to check.
129
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:00,694
All right, mate.

that feed seawaterinto the Money Pit.
137
00:06:19,087 --> 00:06:22,966
I don't think there's an urgent
need to do this.
138
00:06:22,966 --> 00:06:26,887
NARRATOR:But after realizingthat continued excavation
139
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:29,639
of the structuremight cut off their access
140

to the rest of the recentlyconstructed "bump out" site,
141
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:35,854
the team has decidedto explore the area
142
00:06:35,854 --> 00:06:38,648
beyond the slipway first.
143
00:06:38,648 --> 00:06:41,067
There's just
a lot of curiosities
144
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:43,862
about, uh, what might be
in this area.
145
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,032
If ships wereoffloading items that,
146
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:51,369
at the end of the slipway,items may have been dropped.
147
00:06:51,369 --> 00:06:53,580
So if there's anything
to be found,
148
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,708
it's at the end of that slipway.
Well, hopefully we'll find it.
149
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,713
GARY:
Gonna have a little
investigate around here.
150
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:05,467
‐Looks like he's scraped
this area off.
‐Yeah.
151
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:08,595
So we just zigzag along,
hopefully get lucky.
152
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:25,528
Yeah, I'm gonna have to
turn around here, Pete.
153
00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:27,572
‐Too close to the wall.
‐Too close to the wall?
154
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:29,908

‐This doesn't sound too bad.
155
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:31,951
First signal here, mate.
156
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:35,497
I'd like some gold coins
to go, please.
157
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:45,757
I'll use my pin‐pointer.
158

00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:53,473
Wow.
160
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,520
What the heck is that?
Yeah, it just...
161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,562
Is that it?
162
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:01,398
Yeah. It could be anything.
163
00:08:01,398 --> 00:08:03,149
There's something metal in here.
164
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,485
‐It's tough to tell what it is.
‐Yeah.
165
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:07,153
Probably iron.
166
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:10,657
‐Might be a goodie
hidden inside.
‐Could be.
167
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:14,494
‐All right, mate,
we'll put it to one side.
‐Over there.

Peter.
169
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:17,664
PETER:
What's up?
170
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:19,040
BILLY:
Right where I'm digging,
171
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,126
there was all rocks,
and I didn't know if it's, like,
172
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:22,919
the rocks we saw
on the other side.
173
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:24,963

if you could just...
‐The flat rocks?

00:08:24,963 --> 00:08:26,965
GARY:
What's he seeing, Pete?
175
00:08:26,965 --> 00:08:30,260
‐It's the same flat rocks.
‐BILLY: It's a thin, flat rock,
176
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:33,179
and it's quite rocky underneath,
so I'm laying a bunch
177
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:34,389
of flat ones aside.
178
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:36,307
If we don't have them
on this beach here,
179
00:08:36,307 --> 00:08:37,684
they should be all brown, right?
180
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,853
Even the varying descriptions
of the flood tunnels
181
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:43,022
all involve, you know, a flat
rock of some sort, so we always
182
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:44,482
got to be watchful
of them, but...
183
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:45,817
GARY:
Yeah, those flat rocks
184
00:08:45,817 --> 00:08:48,486
could be part
of the French drains.
185
00:08:48,486 --> 00:08:49,696
BILLY:
Yeah.
186
00:08:51,406 --> 00:08:53,616
NARRATOR:A French drain?
187
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:55,618
Is it possible that the teamhas uncovered
188
00:08:55,618 --> 00:08:58,413
another partof the island's legendary
189
00:08:58,413 --> 00:08:59,956
booby‐trapped flooding system?
190
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:02,542
BILLY:
Let's go a little more.
See what we get.
191
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,010
GARY:
Ooh! Look at that.
192
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:14,596
Hey, Billy,
you got a bit of timber there.
193
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:18,016
‐BILLY: Oh, yeah. There it is.
‐PETER: Wow.
194
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:22,353
GARY:This is fantastic, mate.
195
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:24,272
ATOR: After being alerted
to Billy, Peter and Gary's
It does look more
like a pier to me.
196
00:09:24,272 --> 00:09:27,317
potentially important discoveryat Smith's Cove,
197
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:30,612
Rick Lagina and geologistTerry Matheson
198
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:34,365
have come to the areato check it out firsthand.
199
00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:37,285
‐What do you got, Billy?
‐Hey, Terry.
200
00:09:37,285 --> 00:09:38,787
Hey, Rick.
201
00:09:38,787 --> 00:09:41,873
So we're‐we're peeling this off.
202
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:44,125
‐Right.
‐And it's quite rocky
203
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:45,376
in through here.
204
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:47,921
‐Rocks, rocks and more rocks.
‐TERRY: Yeah.
205
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:49,589
BILLY:
So now I'm three,
four feet down,
206
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:52,008
now I'm starting to pull wood.
207
00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:53,426
RICK:
I see the rocks.
208
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:54,969
I don't see timber.
209
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:57,806
‐This wood here?
‐BILLY: Yeah.
210
00:09:57,806 --> 00:10:00,391
RICK:
Oh, right there?
211
00:10:00,391 --> 00:10:02,143
TERRY:
Well, there was a treated
212
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:04,687
or untr‐‐
probably an untreated timber.
213
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,481
‐That's an old beam then.
‐Right.
214
00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:11,694
This is some kind of a working.
215
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:15,115
All of these boulders,
I'm thinking
216
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:17,117
that's not a natural
conglomeration
217
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:18,993
of man‐size boulders.
218
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:21,371
You know, people put that there.
219
00:10:21,371 --> 00:10:23,706
RICK:
Do you think
it's strange, Terry?
220
00:10:23,706 --> 00:10:26,501
Well, it's definitely
a man‐made structure.
221
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:28,336
There was even
more boulders piled up.
222
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:32,590
Let's take a look.
223
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:42,725
‐It's pretty solid under here.
‐Is it?
224
00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:44,727
Yeah, I just lifted on that
a little bit
225
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:46,980
‐with the excavator.
‐TERRY: And the whole thing
moved, so...
226
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:50,150
BILLY:
The beam is fully intact
for a ways here, I would say.
227
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:53,444
That's round right to there.
228
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:54,654
‐RICK: Yep.
‐You see that?
229
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,239
RICK:
But it keeps going.
230
00:10:56,239 --> 00:10:57,740
‐Keeps going.
‐And it keeps going, yeah.
231
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:01,828
Somewhere down around there,
you can see the bottom, perhaps,
232
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,539
‐where the rocks were piled.
‐Yeah.
233
00:11:04,539 --> 00:11:06,499
Billy, I'd just dump
your bucket in here
234
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:08,334
‐and wash this whole thing.
‐BILLY: Yeah, I was gonna
suggest that.
235
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:11,045
TERRY:
All right.
Get up out of your way.
236
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:15,049
I think it's very preliminary
to make an assessment
237
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:17,844
as to this wood that we've
encountered, these logs.
238
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:20,930
However, it's what we werehoping to find.
239
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:23,725
Previously unknown structuresin Smith's Cove.
240
00:11:23,725 --> 00:11:25,560
That's exciting.
That's‐that's important.
241
00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:29,063
What do you think, Doug?
242
00:11:29,063 --> 00:11:31,441
It seems to be oriented
243
00:11:31,441 --> 00:11:33,276
‐like this.
‐Yeah.
244
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:35,570
Which is the way you would think
the slipway would set.
245
00:11:35,570 --> 00:11:39,324
Looking at the rocks
inside that structure,
246
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:41,534
more like a pier to me,
for a wharf.
247
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:44,662
NARRATOR:A wharf or pier?
248
00:11:44,662 --> 00:11:48,499
Is it possible thatit could be connected
249
00:11:48,499 --> 00:11:52,170
to the 18th century slipwaydiscovered nearby?
250
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:56,049
Or, has the team found evidenceof an entirely different
251
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:59,302
and possiblyeven older structure?
252
00:11:59,302 --> 00:12:02,931
RICK:There's certainly a distinctpossibility that this structure
253
00:12:02,931 --> 00:12:04,349
could be the slipway.
254
00:12:04,349 --> 00:12:06,184
I mean, it very much could be.
255
00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:10,146
The caveat here is we have tobe very careful to make
256
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:13,399
one simple statement about whatmight be a complex structure.
257
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,694
There's a possibility thatthe slipway was built on top
258
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:19,239
of a much older structure,and that is something
259
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,532
we'll have to take
into consideration.
260
00:12:24,035 --> 00:12:26,079
Careful now, Billy.
261
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:31,167
Hardly any rock here,
big pile of rock there
262
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,794
with some timbers under it.
263
00:12:32,794 --> 00:12:34,879
Timber‐‐ Oh, is that a plank
sticking out like?
264
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:38,675
RICK:
Can you wash this?
265
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:43,263
That‐That's enough.
266
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:45,139
Just put the bucket down there.
267
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:48,309
‐Hello, hello, hello.
‐Hey, Laird.
268
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:55,358
You get a better look
if you come over here, Laird.
269
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:59,654
‐See, there's a timber
running back towards...
‐Oh.
270
00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:02,031
LAIRD: And this is
off the slipway, right?
271
00:13:02,031 --> 00:13:04,117
DOUG:
It seems to be off the slipway.
272
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:06,953
Then Rick says this one,
where he's digging,
273
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:09,080
continues right into the bed.
274
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,083
A lot of rocks inside,
hardly anything outside.
275
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:13,710
TERRY:
That's a log right there,
eh, Rick?
276
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:16,212
RICK:
Th‐Th‐The cross log is here.
277
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:18,423
Yeah, right there.
278
00:13:18,423 --> 00:13:19,590
TERRY:
Yep. Wow.
279
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:21,759
The bottom beam is right here.
280
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:23,720
There's no, uh...
281
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,513
no end to the log here.
282
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:28,224
TERRY:
No end to the log.
283
00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:29,851
This one.
284
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:34,897
To me, all those rocks
is what I would expect
285
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:36,149
inside a pier.
286
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,567
‐Yeah. Yeah.
‐Yeah.
287
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:40,320
LAIRD:
But even concluding
footings for a pier...
288
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,696
big cribbing logs, eh?
289
00:13:41,696 --> 00:13:46,034
If that's cribbing, it's big.
It was a big wharf.
290
00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:48,578
RICK:
Strange cribbing.
I mean, I'll be honest.
291
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:50,455
I don't know what this is.
292
00:13:50,455 --> 00:13:53,499
Could be a structure associated
with deposition.
293
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:55,877
It could be a structure
associated with the search.
294
00:13:55,877 --> 00:13:57,503
We don't know.
295
00:13:57,503 --> 00:14:01,090
I know what I would like it
to be: something original.
296
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:03,593
Let's come to an understanding
of what this is,
297
00:14:03,593 --> 00:14:07,138
and then slowly remove
what needs to be removed
298
00:14:07,138 --> 00:14:09,015
to get a proper sample.
299
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:10,224
‐Absolutely.
‐Okay.
300
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:14,228
NARRATOR:Later that day,
301
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:17,065
as the investigationat Smith's Cove continues...
302
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:19,901
DAVE:What do we got here, Terry?
303
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:24,238
All in situ. Undisturbed,
down to 89 feet.
304
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:26,574
NARRATOR:Geologist Terry Matheson
305
00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:29,410
has joined Dave Blankenshipat the Money Pit,
306
00:14:29,410 --> 00:14:31,871
where they are supervisingthe drilling operation
307
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:35,166
at the borehole known as F‐14.
308
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:39,545
They are hoping to findevidence of a horizontal tunnel
309
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:42,799
which was constructed in 1805for the purpose
310
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:47,095
of connecting Shaft Twoto the original Money Pit.
311
00:14:49,263 --> 00:14:50,681
‐Hey, Brennan. How you doing?
‐Good.
312
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:52,266
‐Hey, Dave.
‐DAVE: Hello.
313
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:53,726
So what are we at?
89 right now, right?
314
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:56,187
‐This looks the same?
‐89 feet. Yeah.
315
00:14:56,187 --> 00:14:59,816
99 to 105 is where we hope
to break out into the tunnel.
316
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:01,651
Okay.
317
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:04,403
NARRATOR:Using a 30‐tonsonic drilling rig,
318
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:06,739
which generatespowerful vibrations
319
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:09,742
to pulverize earthand other obstacles,
320
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:11,494
the team will extractcore samples
321
00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:13,913
at intervals of ten feet.
322
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:17,625
The spoils will then becollected into plastic sleeves
323
00:15:17,625 --> 00:15:20,044
to be carefully searchedfor any evidence
324
00:15:20,044 --> 00:15:21,796
of the man‐made tunnel.
325
00:15:21,796 --> 00:15:24,006
MIKE:
99 to 105.
326
00:15:24,006 --> 00:15:26,467
Okay, gentlemen, turn that
down here. Down here, Mike.
327
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:28,094
Thank you.
328
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:29,512
This could be it.
329
00:15:29,512 --> 00:15:31,514
What do you think, Mike?
330
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:33,141
‐I want to see it.
‐Anything, uh,
331
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:34,809
‐anything of interest in here?
‐(chuckles)
332
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:36,227
Felt like I punched through it
333
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:37,979
and then there was,
like, a void.
334
00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:41,691
Let's operate.
335
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:44,485
This is where the rubber
meets the road.
336
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:49,157
I'll tell you what,
boys and girls.
337
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:50,783
‐Check that out.
‐SCOTT: Right there.
Look at that.
338
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,493
BRENNAN:
That's the floor.
339
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:54,579
TERRY:
That's the floor
or it could be the ceiling.
340
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:56,164
Pushed directly to the top.
341
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:58,082
We just drilled here and
hit the tunnel, gentlemen.
342
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:03,588
NARRATOR:The ceiling of a tunnel?
343
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:06,549
Found at a depthof some 100 feet?
344
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:09,760
Could the team have foundthe searcher shaft?
345
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,013
The one that couldlead directly
346
00:16:12,013 --> 00:16:13,931
to the actual Money Pit?
347
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:15,474
No, this is gonna
be good for Rick.
348
00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:17,101
Rick's gonna love
to hear about this.
349
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:18,811
Did I hear we have
something interesting
350
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,897
‐going on?
‐DAVE: Hey, Doug.
‐BRENNAN: Yes.
351
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:22,273
‐Hey, Rick.
‐Look who's here.
352
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:23,941
‐Okay. I...
‐Hey, Rick.
353
00:16:23,941 --> 00:16:26,402
Let me guess. I've seen a lot‐‐
I see a lot of smiles.
354
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:28,821
SCOTT:
Morale is definitely high.
355
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:29,947
Right here?
356
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:31,991
TERRY:
Feast your eyes.
357
00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:33,409
BRENNAN:
We're at 98 and a half
358
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:36,746
to basically
a ten‐foot run here.
359
00:16:36,746 --> 00:16:38,372
TERRY:
Pretty good chunks of beam?
360
00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:40,166
RICK:
Pretty good chunks
of beam, yeah.
361
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,376
DOUG:
Truth be known,
all's we know is that
362
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:44,837
a tunnel came out towards
the west of the Money Pit.
363
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:48,090
We don't know what the
dimensions were on that tunnel.
364
00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:49,800
That's great. It's a win.
365
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,803
This is definitive,
366
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:54,388
‐you know? I mean...
‐It's huge.
367
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,557
...everything else was
"minor wins," right?
368
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:59,977
Highly interpretive,
highly subjective, highly...
369
00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:03,981
somewhat suspicious, because of
all the work that has been done.
370
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:08,027
You guys narrowed in
on the shaft,
371
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:10,821
figured out
the orientation, came off.
372
00:17:10,821 --> 00:17:12,156
What you have to do now, though,
373
00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:13,950
is find the direction
of the tunnel.
374
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:17,536
Without that, the importance of
this find is somewhat limited.
375
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:18,829
Yeah. Yeah.
376
00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:20,915
What's the next proposed hole?
377
00:17:20,915 --> 00:17:22,750
‐SCOTT: F‐15.
‐Right.
‐DOUG: Yeah.
378
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:25,294
It's, uh, it's still in line
with where this should run.
379
00:17:25,294 --> 00:17:27,922
‐We came out
between our two hits.
‐Mm‐hmm.
380
00:17:27,922 --> 00:17:31,509
RICK:We know definitivelywe located Shaft Two.
381
00:17:31,509 --> 00:17:35,763
So if we find the orientation
of the Shaft Two tunnel,
382
00:17:35,763 --> 00:17:40,059
we should be very, very closeto the original Money Pit.
383
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:41,519
That's huge.
384
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,729
That's the Holy Grailof Oak Island:
385
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:45,439
where is the original Money Pit?
386
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:47,775
So, there's still a lot
of puzzle pieces
387
00:17:47,775 --> 00:17:50,111
yet to‐to fit together,
388
00:17:50,111 --> 00:17:52,071
but the puzzle pieces
are getting bigger.
389
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:53,447
The picture's getting smaller.
390
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:55,908
It just ramps up the interest.
391
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,868
‐Right? And the hope.
‐TERRY: Absolutely.
392
00:17:57,868 --> 00:18:00,580
Maybe, just maybe,
this is the year.
393
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:11,090
NARRATOR:As a new day beginson Oak Island,
394
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:14,302
and as the search operationsat both the Money Pit
395
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:16,929
and Smith's Cove continue...
396
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:19,265
MARTY:Gentlemen.
397
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:21,851
NARRATOR: ...brothersRick and Marty Lagina,
398
00:18:21,851 --> 00:18:23,686
along with membersof their team,
399
00:18:23,686 --> 00:18:27,273
are meeting once againwith theorist Corjan Mol.
400
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:30,693
With him is fellow researcherChris Morford,
401
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:33,613
who has come to pinpoint whatcould be additional targets
402
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:37,700
of interest in the mysterioustriangle‐shaped swamp.
403
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,036
RICK:
So, the reason for this meeting
404
00:18:40,036 --> 00:18:43,289
is, I believe Corjan and Chris
have worked together
405
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:45,374
and come up
with an "X" marks the spot.
406
00:18:45,374 --> 00:18:48,419
They've been developing
an additional theory,
407
00:18:48,419 --> 00:18:50,671
I will call it, something
that I think you're gonna find
408
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:52,173
extremely interesting.
409
00:18:52,173 --> 00:18:54,800
Unfortunately, for you,
it's about the swamp.
410
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,218
‐Oh. Yay.
‐(soft laughter)
411
00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:58,054
How predictable is that?
412
00:18:58,054 --> 00:19:00,640
RICK:
So, I'm gonna turn
over to these two gentlemen,
413
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,017
and‐‐ hopefully,
for the big reveal.
414
00:19:03,017 --> 00:19:04,560
‐Okay.
‐Thanks, Rick.
415
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,229
NARRATOR:One week ago, Corjan Mol
416
00:19:07,229 --> 00:19:09,482
presented the teamwith an incredible theory
417
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:12,193
which connectsthe Oak Island mystery
418
00:19:12,193 --> 00:19:15,321
to the work of the prolific17th century French painter
419
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:16,864
Nicolas Poussin.
420
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:18,282
CORJAN:
From my perspective,
421
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:20,993
he was an instrument
to, uh, record
422
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:22,953
a secret about Oak Island.
423
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,626
NARRATOR:According to Corjan's research,
424
00:19:28,626 --> 00:19:31,295
Poussin had beengiven secret knowledge
425
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:33,964
of a sacred, religious treasurethat had been buried
426
00:19:33,964 --> 00:19:38,469
on Oak Island centuries ago bymembers of the Knights Templar.
427
00:19:38,469 --> 00:19:42,723
Poussin then createda series of three paintings,
428
00:19:42,723 --> 00:19:46,560
each containing important clueswhich, when viewed together,
429
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,774
reveal where the Oak Islandtreasure can be found.
430
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:54,985
We started by having
a closer look at, uh, Poussin.
431
00:19:54,985 --> 00:19:58,280
‐And then if, Steve, you can
bring up the picture of him?
‐Sure.
432
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,701
CORJAN:
This is a self‐portrait
that he did in 1650,
433
00:20:01,701 --> 00:20:06,497
and we noticed that on the left,
uh, the lady over there,
434
00:20:06,497 --> 00:20:10,126
if you look at her hat,
there's another eye.
435
00:20:10,126 --> 00:20:11,335
RICK:
Mm‐hmm.
436
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:13,295
CHRIS:
Almost like a third eye.
437
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:15,965
She's obviously holding
a place of importance here.
438
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:17,758
CORJAN:
We think
439
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:19,760
that's the lady that figures
on the second version
440
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,387
of The Shepherds of Arcadia.
441
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:24,932
‐CHRIS: Same woman.
‐It's the same woman.
442
00:20:24,932 --> 00:20:26,934
CORJAN:So, what we did is,
443
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:29,186
we went backto The Shepherds of Arcadia
444
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:30,396
and we had a look.
445
00:20:30,396 --> 00:20:33,482
Where is this woman positioned?
446
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:35,985
So, if you can bring
the wireframe, Steve.
447
00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:38,446
There you go.
448
00:20:38,446 --> 00:20:41,949
So, if you draw a line
from each of the five points
449
00:20:41,949 --> 00:20:44,994
to the other point across,
you land in the same spot,
450
00:20:44,994 --> 00:20:47,288
which is exactly on her eye.
451
00:20:47,288 --> 00:20:49,749
And you can do this
in many ways,
452
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,375
but the‐the result
is always the same.
453
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:54,003
This is the dead center
of the pentacle.
454
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:56,046
Okay.
455
00:20:56,046 --> 00:21:00,092
‐Then, uh, the next step is, if
we, uh, switch to the CAD model.
‐Sure.
456
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:03,095
CORJAN:
Last time I was here, uh,
I showed the, uh, the pentagram,
457
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:06,474
‐um, mapped on Nolan's Cross.
‐Mm‐hmm.
458
00:21:06,474 --> 00:21:07,892
So, uh, we used
that same mapping.
459
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:10,436
‐So, if you can bring up, uh...
‐STEVE G.: Sure.
460
00:21:10,436 --> 00:21:11,854
So, here's how it would lie,
461
00:21:11,854 --> 00:21:14,482
using what we know
is to be Nolan's Cross.
462
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,110
CORJAN:
Now, if you would draw the lines
463
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:21,155
‐to find the center.
‐Sure.
464
00:21:21,155 --> 00:21:23,365
‐We'll go "ta‐da."
‐(soft laughter)
465
00:21:25,326 --> 00:21:29,038
CORJAN:
There you go. Right on
the eye of the swamp.
466
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:30,664
RICK:
Wow.
467
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:32,291
The all‐seeing eye?
468
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:33,918
Yeah.
469
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:36,045
Holy smokes.
470
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:38,672
NARRATOR:The all‐seeing eye?
471
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:41,592
The so‐calledEye of Providence,
472
00:21:41,592 --> 00:21:43,552
which is featuredin the iconography
473
00:21:43,552 --> 00:21:45,179
of both Freemasons
474
00:21:45,179 --> 00:21:47,681
and their predecessors,the Knights Templar?
475
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:50,142
And connectedto the man‐made structure
476
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:52,436
the team foundearlier this year,
477
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:55,648
which Marty Lagina dubbed"the eye of the swamp"?
478
00:21:55,648 --> 00:21:58,609
Could this recentlydiscovered spot,
479
00:21:58,609 --> 00:22:01,570
located at the tipof the man‐made swamp,
480
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:05,115
provide the key to unlockingthe Oak Island mystery?
481
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:06,784
RICK:I have made mentionto every theorist
482
00:22:06,784 --> 00:22:08,369
that have come and gone.
483
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:11,956
A theory is but a theory until
you hold the proof in your hand,
484
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:15,000
but, uh, my hope is that
485
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,752
this won't be just theoretical,
486
00:22:16,752 --> 00:22:19,296
that we can take this theory
487
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:22,007
and‐and pick a position
on the land
488
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:25,052
where we can find the one thing,
489
00:22:25,052 --> 00:22:26,679
hold something in your hand.
490
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:30,391
That's probably the hardest spot
to dig in the island. Well done.
491
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:32,768
‐Well done, guys. Yeah.
‐I promise you that. Yeah.
492
00:22:32,768 --> 00:22:34,353
We think this makes
an awful lot of sense.
493
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,647
Again, there's a fixed cross
on the island
494
00:22:36,647 --> 00:22:38,607
that you can use to project
a pentagram
495
00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:41,026
and then you just find
the center. That's easy.
496
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:43,404
That's something
you can do with, uh,
497
00:22:43,404 --> 00:22:45,072
11th, 12th century,
uh, technology.
498
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:46,740
Mm‐hmm.
499
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:48,826
Already had a lot of interest
in the eye because, you know,
500
00:22:48,826 --> 00:22:50,160
Gary and I were out there
501
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,413
probing for rocks,
and, you know, there seems to be
502
00:22:52,413 --> 00:22:53,706
rocks all around that circle,
503
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:55,249
and, I mean,
they're mapped out there.
504
00:22:55,249 --> 00:22:58,961
From a purely observational
point of view,
505
00:22:58,961 --> 00:23:00,462
that position in the swamp
was always
506
00:23:00,462 --> 00:23:02,506
significantly interesting.
507
00:23:02,506 --> 00:23:04,550
So there's no reason
not to dig that.
508
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:06,385
Yeah.
509
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:07,928
All right, gentlemen.
Well, you've set us a task.
510
00:23:07,928 --> 00:23:10,848
I mean, I...
I am a skeptic by nature,
511
00:23:10,848 --> 00:23:12,892
so, uh, you know, I guess
512
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:15,436
the‐the digging will be
the proof of the pudding.
513
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:17,396
In this case
it's in the digging, isn't it?
514
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:18,856
‐Yeah. Fantastic.
‐MARTY: So we will see
515
00:23:18,856 --> 00:23:20,399
what happens and, you know,
516
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:23,068
uh, keep communicating
with each other.
517
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:25,070
If you, uh, have another
"aha" moment,
518
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:26,780
‐as Rick calls them...
‐For sure.
519
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:28,574
‐...uh, let us know, okay?
‐Yeah, absolutely.
520
00:23:28,574 --> 00:23:30,868
And we'll keep you in the loop.
Thank you very much.
521
00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:40,753
RICK:You're welcome back any time.
522
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:42,504
‐IAN: Steve.
Se‐STEVE G.: How you doing? re.
523
00:23:42,504 --> 00:23:44,381
‐Good to meet you.
‐Nice to see you, again.
524
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:45,841
NARRATOR:One day afterthe team's meeting
525
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:47,051
with Oak Island theorists
526
00:23:47,051 --> 00:23:50,471
Chris Morford and Corjan Mol,
527
00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:52,056
surveyor Steve Guptillhas arranged to meet
528
00:23:52,056 --> 00:23:53,474
with geoscientist
529
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:56,852
Dr. Ian Spooner and his teamin order to further
530
00:23:56,852 --> 00:24:01,106
investigate the area knownas "the eye of the swamp."
531
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:04,234
So the game plan for today,
we're gonna go back to the pond.
532
00:24:04,234 --> 00:24:07,071
We're gonna go back to the pond.
What I want to do is
533
00:24:07,071 --> 00:24:10,032
try to locate the stones,
uh, much more accurately.
534
00:24:10,032 --> 00:24:11,408
Try to figure out what this ring
535
00:24:11,408 --> 00:24:13,786
‐of stones is, uh,
up at the pond.
‐Okay.
536
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:15,871
Lauren is gonna go
with you and I,
537
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:17,373
and we're gonna look at Site A.
538
00:24:17,373 --> 00:24:19,833
‐Sure.
‐And Julia and, uh, Chelsea
539
00:24:19,833 --> 00:24:21,085
are gonna be doing
540
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:24,254
a whole bunch of probing
in this area right here.
541
00:24:24,254 --> 00:24:26,715
We're trying to get, uh,
a depth o‐of the swamp.
542
00:24:26,715 --> 00:24:27,925
That'll be good.
543
00:24:27,925 --> 00:24:29,510
We've got a lot of data
from here,
544
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:31,553
‐but we need some of your data
for this area...
‐Yeah. Okay.
545
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:33,889
‐Good.
‐RICK: Dr. Spooner was
546
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:35,891
interested enough to come back
547
00:24:35,891 --> 00:24:37,977
with his students to extract a‐‐
548
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:40,896
what he's called
a vibra‐core sample
549
00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:42,314
from the back pond area.
550
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:45,109
On a couple fronts,this is exciting and rewarding.
551
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:47,236
We have always felt that that
552
00:24:47,236 --> 00:24:50,280
back pond area was of interest,
553
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,449
that there were some mystery
554
00:24:52,449 --> 00:24:54,994
surrounding that,and he has singularly
555
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:58,080
focused on that area,
and I'm grateful for it.
556
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,790
He and his studentsare gonna do
557
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:01,750
a proper job,and I'm very hopeful
558
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:04,294
that the cores they extract
will give us some information.
559
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:08,465
I'm gonna try just to hit
the top of this, Lauren.
560
00:25:10,217 --> 00:25:12,136
There's the sediment
right there.
561
00:25:12,136 --> 00:25:13,971
I'm just gonna try to hit it.
562
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:15,264
‐Ready?
‐Yeah.
563
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:22,563
Good, okay. Here we go.
564
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,945
So there's our core.
565
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:32,448
What's critical about this core
and why it's a good core...
566
00:25:32,448 --> 00:25:34,533
‐See how it's undisturbed?
‐STEVE G.: Mm‐hmm.
567
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:37,661
And so the water's
relatively clear here.
568
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:41,040
Uh, Steve, so that‐‐ what that
means is, I didn't disturb this.
569
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,542
So, when we extrude it,
when we take a look at it,
570
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:46,128
centimeter by centimeter,
you're going back in time.
571
00:25:46,128 --> 00:25:47,546
It's kind of like a book
572
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,423
‐where you haven't mixed up
all the pages.
‐Mm‐hmm.
573
00:25:49,423 --> 00:25:51,091
So this is a good core.
574
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:54,386
We'll cap it and then
we will get another one.
575
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:56,013
STEVE G.:Yeah. Let's go.
576
00:25:56,013 --> 00:25:58,849
NARRATOR:As Dr. Spooner, Steve Guptill,and the team
577
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:01,643
conduct their coring operationin the swamp...
578
00:26:01,643 --> 00:26:04,605
GARY:Here comes our big spade.
579
00:26:04,605 --> 00:26:06,899
NARRATOR: Rick Laginaand his nephew Peter Fornetti,
580
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:09,735
along with Gary Draytonand Billy Gerhardt,
581
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:11,737
continue to investigate
582
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:14,573
the large wooden structureat Smith's Cove.
583
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:21,288
Another flat rock, Billy.
584
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:28,587
Hang on. Hang on, Billy.
585
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:31,715
See what we got going on here.
586
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:33,300
(chuckles):
Oh, yeah.
587
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:36,678
Wow, that is one heck of a log,
isn't it?
588
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:37,679
BILLY:
Yep.
589
00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:40,682
‐Been there a while.
‐GARY: Yeah.
590
00:26:40,682 --> 00:26:43,977
I mean, that is bloody massive.
591
00:26:43,977 --> 00:26:47,022
What is that... that round...
592
00:26:47,022 --> 00:26:48,982
Looks like a...
593
00:26:48,982 --> 00:26:50,734
‐PETER: What?
‐Just a little bit.
594
00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:54,613
Looks like a tube. There.
595
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:58,408
Is it just mud or is it a peg?
596
00:26:58,408 --> 00:27:00,160
Good fishing, Pete.
597
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,080
A wooden peg.
598
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,082
I thought
that looked like a peg.
599
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:06,834
Good eye.
600
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:09,128
I mean, you think about it,
the only place we found
601
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:11,130
wooden pegs was in
the U‐shaped structure.
602
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:15,884
Maybe this is connected
to the U‐shaped structure.
603
00:27:15,884 --> 00:27:18,095
NARRATOR:A wooden peg
604
00:27:18,095 --> 00:27:20,806
similar to those foundin the U‐shaped structure
605
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:23,100
that the teamunearthed last year?
606
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,853
And which was provento predate the discovery
607
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:29,439
of the original Money Pitby more than two decades?
608
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,443
Another wooden peg, mate.
609
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:36,405
PETER:
Wow. Awesome.
610
00:27:36,405 --> 00:27:39,449
‐That's a peg.
‐PETER: That's cool.
611
00:27:39,449 --> 00:27:42,578
‐Yeah.
‐It's getting interesting.
612
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:46,039
Hey, Rick.
You ain't gonna believe this.
613
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:48,542
‐What's that?
‐Look at how big that is.
614
00:27:48,542 --> 00:27:52,754
RICK:
Wow. That is huge.
615
00:27:52,754 --> 00:27:54,381
And we're finding wooden pegs.
616
00:27:54,381 --> 00:27:56,216
Got one here and one there.
617
00:27:56,216 --> 00:27:58,844
That's several.
618
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:01,763
‐Seen the size of that log?
‐(laughs)
619
00:28:01,763 --> 00:28:03,223
GARY:
What's it remind you of, though?
620
00:28:03,223 --> 00:28:05,642
‐RICK: U‐shaped structure.
‐GARY: Exactly.
621
00:28:05,642 --> 00:28:07,436
RICK:
Does it stop there?
622
00:28:07,436 --> 00:28:10,689
GARY:
Yeah, it stops there, but you
can see where it's been cut.
623
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:12,524
I wonder if it's just that.
624
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:15,652
If we go deeper,
I'm sure I'll get more.
625
00:28:17,571 --> 00:28:20,532
‐Hey. How you doing?
‐Welcome, Terry.
626
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:24,119
‐TERRY: Hey, Rick.
‐RICK: Hey.
627
00:28:28,749 --> 00:28:31,543
So it looks like we got
quite a bit of crib work here,
628
00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:34,588
Much more extensive
than we had thought.
629
00:28:34,588 --> 00:28:38,550
Does it continue or is it just
in and around the boulders?
630
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:40,469
‐We don't, we don't know.
‐Okay.
631
00:28:40,469 --> 00:28:42,137
This is very strange.
632
00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:45,307
You've got this massive log,
633
00:28:45,307 --> 00:28:48,143
then you've got this carry log,
634
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:51,521
then you've got a beam
coming across here,
635
00:28:51,521 --> 00:28:53,190
then you've got
another beam there,
636
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:54,441
and another carry log.
637
00:28:54,441 --> 00:28:55,525
Wow.
638
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:57,069
RICK:
That is massive.
639
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:58,862
That's bigger than
the U‐shaped structure log.
640
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,365
GARY:
Yeah. That is very old.
641
00:29:01,365 --> 00:29:03,909
RICK:
Steve said
642
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:07,287
that elevation was seven feet
below sea level.
643
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:09,498
This is another
three feet beyond.
644
00:29:09,498 --> 00:29:13,835
And we know that
the deeper you go, this log‐‐
645
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:18,590
it is possible that this
is much older than this.
646
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,343
GARY:
That looks old,
that bottom layer,
647
00:29:21,343 --> 00:29:24,012
and all the rest
has been repurposed.
648
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:25,389
It's been built up.
649
00:29:25,389 --> 00:29:26,598
‐It's been layered.
‐Agreed.
650
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:29,893
Upon visual inspection only, um,
651
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:32,187
we can see that
it's saddle‐notched.
652
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:36,024
We can see it's easily
every bit as large
653
00:29:36,024 --> 00:29:37,442
as the U‐shaped structure logs,
654
00:29:37,442 --> 00:29:40,779
but we have to uncover itbecause we need to know,
655
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:42,656
hopefully answer "Who?"
656
00:29:42,656 --> 00:29:45,033
Hopefully answer "When?"
657
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:47,452
And maybe even possibly "What?"
658
00:29:52,249 --> 00:29:55,293
TERRY:
So we're not sure what
we're looking at here yet.
659
00:29:55,293 --> 00:29:56,878
Rick, what do you think it is?
660
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:58,088
RICK:
I have no idea.
661
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:04,970
‐It's that real sandy clay.
‐TERRY: Yeah, yeah, very sandy,
662
00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:06,388
silty, it cakes together.
663
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:08,015
Almost appears as though
this is packed.
664
00:30:08,015 --> 00:30:09,016
Yeah.
665
00:30:10,225 --> 00:30:13,478
RICK:
And this could be oak.
666
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:18,692
NARRATOR:Oak beams packed with clay?
667
00:30:18,692 --> 00:30:22,988
In 1804, one year beforetreasure hunter Daniel McGinnis
668
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:26,491
and his partnersconstructed Shaft Two,
669
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:29,119
they excavated the originalMoney Pit down to
670
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:30,871
the 90‐foot level.
671
00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:33,373
At every ten‐foot interval,
672
00:30:33,373 --> 00:30:36,960
they discovered a platformmade of oak logs,
673
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,337
but startingat the 40‐foot level,
674
00:30:39,337 --> 00:30:42,215
they found the logs were packedwith dense blue clay,
675
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:45,093
which acted as a water sealant.
676
00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:47,637
Could the teamhave found evidence
677
00:30:47,637 --> 00:30:50,307
that this massive log structureat Smith's Cove
678
00:30:50,307 --> 00:30:52,684
could be connectedto the construction
679
00:30:52,684 --> 00:30:55,145
of the original Money Pit?
680
00:30:55,145 --> 00:30:56,772
It's certainly
a massive structure.
681
00:30:56,772 --> 00:30:59,858
Whether it's originalor searcher work,
682
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:02,360
it's absolutely phenomenal.
683
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,738
This structurecould be the slipway.
684
00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:07,824
At the very least, thesuspicion is growing that it's
685
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:11,620
the slipway and then the‐the
possibility of the wharf
686
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:12,913
being built on top of it.
687
00:31:12,913 --> 00:31:14,915
I hate to say it, but I wonder
688
00:31:14,915 --> 00:31:16,708
if we shouldn't
leave this for Laird.
689
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:20,420
GARY:
I was thinking the same, Rick.
690
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:23,924
We have got a lot of it exposed,
but we could be missing
691
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:27,010
something an archaeologist
would spot straightaway.
692
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:32,432
RICK:This is a success.
693
00:31:32,432 --> 00:31:34,976
The swamp itself initiated
at on Oak Island,
694
00:31:34,976 --> 00:31:38,563
and as operations continueat both Smith's Cove
695
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:40,857
and in the Money Pit area...
696
00:31:40,857 --> 00:31:43,193
MARTY:Gentlemen,
697
00:31:43,193 --> 00:31:46,738
‐it's another data day,
which I always like.
‐Yeah.
698
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:49,074
NARRATOR: ...brothersRick and Marty Lagina
699
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:50,617
meet in the war room,
700
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:51,868
where they are joined
701
00:31:51,868 --> 00:31:54,204
by fellow Oak Islandlandowner Tom Nolan
702
00:31:54,204 --> 00:31:56,414
and other membersof their team.
703
00:31:56,414 --> 00:31:58,583
They have gathered to hearDr. Ian Spooner
704
00:31:58,583 --> 00:31:59,835
give his report
705
00:31:59,835 --> 00:32:02,462
on the core sampleshe and his team
706
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:05,215
retrieved from the swampone day ago.
707
00:32:05,215 --> 00:32:07,217
MARTY:
Dr. Ian Spooner's here.
708
00:32:07,217 --> 00:32:09,553
He's done a lot of work
in the swamp,
709
00:32:09,553 --> 00:32:12,389
and I‐I‐I'll give you a preamble
710
00:32:12,389 --> 00:32:13,515
in the sense that
it surprised you
711
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:15,642
as to how difficult
it was, right?
712
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:20,605
Yeah, um, I would say
what surprised me
713
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:22,649
was that the data
714
00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:26,236
did not meet my expectations.
715
00:32:26,236 --> 00:32:28,864
Welcome to Oak Island,
Dr. Spooner.
716
00:32:28,864 --> 00:32:31,616
(all chuckle)
717
00:32:31,616 --> 00:32:34,953
So what we did here,
this is Site A.
718
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:36,997
We're calling that
the "eye of the swamp."
719
00:32:36,997 --> 00:32:38,415
But Site A will do.
720
00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:41,042
This is the core, uh,
from Site A,
721
00:32:41,042 --> 00:32:42,210
and, and what we can see
722
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:44,629
at the bottom here
is the gray sediment.
723
00:32:44,629 --> 00:32:47,549
There's gravel in it.
It's a glacial till.
724
00:32:49,342 --> 00:32:50,594
The key thing here‐‐
725
00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:52,637
there's a few really important
things going on.
726
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:54,181
And that is, we got the till.
727
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:55,390
We've got the organic matter.
728
00:32:55,390 --> 00:32:57,726
And then it's disturbed
in the middle.
729
00:32:57,726 --> 00:32:59,561
RICK:
Wow.
730
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:00,687
I find that interesting.
731
00:33:00,687 --> 00:33:03,148
IAN:
How do I know it's disturbed?
732
00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:06,276
It's because we've got
interlayered organic matter
733
00:33:06,276 --> 00:33:09,029
and till.
You just can't get that.
734
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:12,157
‐Yeah.
‐The glaciers don't go
in‐out, in‐out,
735
00:33:12,157 --> 00:33:14,075
and trees grow in the glacier,
come in and out.
736
00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:17,037
The other thing is,
there's no soil.
737
00:33:17,037 --> 00:33:19,956
So, there was a glacier,
there was a swamp.
738
00:33:19,956 --> 00:33:22,125
What happened in between?
739
00:33:22,125 --> 00:33:24,628
Usually, it'd be
a marine environment.
740
00:33:24,628 --> 00:33:27,589
Maybe it would be
a land environment,
741
00:33:27,589 --> 00:33:28,757
but we don't see any soil,
742
00:33:28,757 --> 00:33:31,092
so we're really quite sure
it's disturbed
743
00:33:31,092 --> 00:33:35,096
by something.
And so, the question is,
744
00:33:35,096 --> 00:33:36,556
what is that?
745
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:39,601
Wow.
746
00:33:39,601 --> 00:33:41,436
‐That's really interesting.
‐RICK: Mm‐hmm.
747
00:33:41,436 --> 00:33:43,772
IAN:
So what we did was
748
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:46,566
we got way down in here
749
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:49,444
and we got a sample,
750
00:33:49,444 --> 00:33:52,739
and the sample dated out
at 1600 to 1700.
751
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:56,952
MARTY:
So what you're saying is,
752
00:33:56,952 --> 00:33:59,871
in 16‐something,
somebody dug a hole there?
753
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:02,666
‐Right.
‐Okay. (chuckles)
754
00:34:02,666 --> 00:34:04,334
And the only thing
I can come up with is,
755
00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:05,543
it's being excavated.
756
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:08,505
It's being dug,
or it's being disturbed.
757
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:11,341
So what is the time, you know,
758
00:34:11,341 --> 00:34:12,926
the exact time
of that disturbance?
759
00:34:15,136 --> 00:34:16,388
Can we have
the next slide there, Steve?
760
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:18,098
Sure can.
761
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:20,392
So, this is kind of neat.
762
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:22,519
This is the extruded core.
763
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:27,023
This is the same site, Site A.
Another sample.
764
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:30,360
And it's‐it's really good.
It's a twig. It's fine.
765
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,779
And we get these dates:
766
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:35,156
1674 to 1778.
767
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:37,826
And so, I'm very confident
we're looking
768
00:34:37,826 --> 00:34:42,956
at 1680 to 1700 that that
disturbance took place.
769
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:45,583
‐Really interesting.
‐There's reasonable cause
770
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:48,169
‐to believe there was
significant human activity.
‐Yes.
771
00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:50,297
Yeah. That's the other
big piece. Right.
772
00:34:50,297 --> 00:34:53,550
NARRATOR:Significant human activity
773
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:56,469
in the area now knownas "the eye of the swamp"
774
00:34:56,469 --> 00:35:00,140
sometime betweenthe 17th and 18th centuries?
775
00:35:01,558 --> 00:35:04,477
Could it be in some way relatedto the theory presented
776
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:08,648
earlier in the week byCorjan Mol and Chris Morford?
777
00:35:08,648 --> 00:35:12,611
So this is quite
a provocative site.
778
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:16,698
It all points to something
pretty complex taking place
779
00:35:16,698 --> 00:35:18,283
at that time.
780
00:35:18,283 --> 00:35:21,369
RICK:
Can I just ask a question,
not to yourself, but...
781
00:35:21,369 --> 00:35:23,705
Your father had somewhat
of a fascination
782
00:35:23,705 --> 00:35:25,165
with that back pond area.
783
00:35:25,165 --> 00:35:27,083
‐Yeah.
‐Wh‐What‐‐ Do you know
anything at all
784
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:29,628
about the work
he did there or...
785
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:31,963
‐what he came to believe?
‐It wouldn't dry out.
786
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:33,590
There's one area of the swamp,
no matter how much
787
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:36,176
we pumped it out,
it always stayed wet,
788
00:35:36,176 --> 00:35:38,762
so, you know,
we always wondered why‐‐
789
00:35:38,762 --> 00:35:42,015
‐if it was spring‐fed
or whatever.
‐Mm‐hmm.
790
00:35:42,015 --> 00:35:44,809
Which just, I mean,
how do you explain it in a bog?
791
00:35:46,394 --> 00:35:47,771
MARTY: When you look
in other parts of the swamp,
792
00:35:47,771 --> 00:35:49,689
is it like this
or much different?
793
00:35:49,689 --> 00:35:53,318
IAN:
Uh, so we go into S2, and S2's
kind of fun for me
794
00:35:53,318 --> 00:35:54,861
because when I was looking
at one of them,
795
00:35:54,861 --> 00:35:56,071
at that gray sediment,
the till,
796
00:35:56,071 --> 00:35:59,199
an organic interface,
it was a nice twig.
797
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:00,450
And so we sampled that.
798
00:36:00,450 --> 00:36:04,621
It tells me that the swamp
itself initiated
799
00:36:04,621 --> 00:36:08,041
at around 1220 AD.
800
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:15,465
‐Oh. I was thinking
Templar, baby.
‐(all chuckle)
801
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:20,095
Well, Dr. Spooner,
I mean, I hate to say it,
802
00:36:20,095 --> 00:36:21,721
but it fits right into
all the lore.
803
00:36:21,721 --> 00:36:23,348
I mean,
it all fits into the lore
804
00:36:23,348 --> 00:36:24,724
that it's...
(chuckles) Look at Gary.
805
00:36:24,724 --> 00:36:26,101
‐Oh, yeah. Medieval.
‐You got...
806
00:36:26,101 --> 00:36:27,811
You got somebody making a swamp
807
00:36:27,811 --> 00:36:31,731
in about 1200, and then
you got somebody digging
808
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:33,066
‐a lot time later.
‐Yeah.
809
00:36:33,066 --> 00:36:34,734
IAN:
And my sense on it is,
810
00:36:34,734 --> 00:36:37,696
if there is this kind
of incredible manipulation
811
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:39,572
over the last thousand years
812
00:36:39,572 --> 00:36:41,700
of this site,
that there was something
813
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:43,410
super big going on.
814
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:46,079
This opens up the possibility
that the swamp was man‐made
815
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,289
on a grander scale
then we ever expected.
816
00:36:48,289 --> 00:36:50,250
‐Yeah.
‐GARY: And the crazy thing
817
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:53,086
is, your dad Fred's
probably looking down now,
818
00:36:53,086 --> 00:36:55,171
‐going, "I told you so."
‐(all laugh)
819
00:36:55,171 --> 00:36:58,258
TOM:
Oh, he believed
the swamp had been worked.
820
00:36:58,258 --> 00:36:59,968
Your information seems to point
821
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:02,011
that he may have been
well onto...
822
00:37:02,011 --> 00:37:04,097
‐Yeah.
‐...the mysteries
that swamp holds.
823
00:37:04,097 --> 00:37:06,015
This‐this is exciting,
what you've...
824
00:37:06,015 --> 00:37:08,226
‐what you've
uncovered here, so...
‐IAN: Yeah.
825
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:10,562
What do you think, Laird?
What's this say to you?
826
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:13,106
Oh, I'm intrigued. I mean,
827
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:15,567
I like the whole idea
that it was terrestrial.
828
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:18,069
I like the whole idea that there
was human activity in there.
829
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:20,113
‐Right.
‐LAIRD: I just... I'd love
830
00:37:20,113 --> 00:37:22,157
to find some intact contexts
831
00:37:22,157 --> 00:37:25,535
‐that could really add
to the story.
‐Absolutely.
832
00:37:25,535 --> 00:37:28,204
‐We need to find some gold
in the cargo hold.
‐RICK: Exactly.
833
00:37:28,204 --> 00:37:30,081
Oh, absolutely.
834
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:32,959
If you asked me a month ago,
835
00:37:32,959 --> 00:37:35,795
likelihood of it
being manipulated by man
836
00:37:35,795 --> 00:37:38,298
in any significant aspect,
I would've said, "Eh,
837
00:37:38,298 --> 00:37:39,674
I don't know. 20%."
838
00:37:39,674 --> 00:37:42,135
Now,
after Dr. Ian Spooner's work,
839
00:37:42,135 --> 00:37:44,137
I've been moved a long ways.
840
00:37:44,137 --> 00:37:46,264
If the data says so,
841
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,349
then we got to go there.
842
00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:50,518
So, there is one thing
that, you know,
843
00:37:50,518 --> 00:37:53,396
when speaking
about the‐the swamp, you know...
844
00:37:53,396 --> 00:37:57,108
It's‐it's Zena's map
that has always intrigued us.
845
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:59,235
A‐And there's a... there's
something curious about the map.
846
00:37:59,235 --> 00:38:02,447
You might want to render
an opinion about it.
847
00:38:02,447 --> 00:38:06,743
This is the map
that Zena brought to us. Uh...
848
00:38:06,743 --> 00:38:10,163
Indicates a landing in 1347.
849
00:38:10,163 --> 00:38:11,873
NARRATOR:Three years ago,
850
00:38:11,873 --> 00:38:14,542
the late author and researcherZena Halpern

00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:20,465
with several documents and mapsrelated to Oak Island
853
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:22,759
that she believedhad been created
854
00:38:22,759 --> 00:38:24,928
by membersof the Knights Templar.
855
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:42,779
NARRATOR:According to her research,
856
00:38:42,779 --> 00:38:45,532
the Templarshad first visited Oak Island
857
00:38:45,532 --> 00:38:48,326
as far backas the 12th century.
858
00:38:58,211 --> 00:38:59,796
But what has always
859
00:38:59,796 --> 00:39:02,173
been curious about it
is these references.
860
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:03,591
I think, Steve,
861
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:05,593
‐you have the translation.
‐I have the digital. I do.
862
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:09,138
RICK:
This map comes from
what Zena believed,
863
00:39:09,138 --> 00:39:11,766
or came to believe,
was referencing
864
00:39:11,766 --> 00:39:15,687
a Templar voyage
to the New World in 1179.
865
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:17,313
Those areas, you can see.
866
00:39:17,313 --> 00:39:19,440
You‐you have to put
your mind to it.
867
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,402
There. It says that the swamp
on the left there...
868
00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:24,487
But when we're talking
869
00:39:24,487 --> 00:39:26,406
about manipulation
of the swamp...
870
00:39:26,406 --> 00:39:28,741
You see the reference
to the dam?
871
00:39:28,741 --> 00:39:31,160
Certainly,
this map is indicating
872
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,122
that there are significant areas
of interest in the swamp.
873
00:39:34,122 --> 00:39:36,249
‐Yeah.
‐IAN: I'd like to look at it
a little more closely
874
00:39:36,249 --> 00:39:38,001
and just see how
it matches up with what
875
00:39:38,001 --> 00:39:39,961
we think might have existed
at that time
876
00:39:39,961 --> 00:39:41,421
with lower sea level.
877
00:39:41,421 --> 00:39:44,382
Look, would I love it
to be Templar‐associated? Yes.
878
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:47,176
To fill in that gap in history
would be...
879
00:39:47,176 --> 00:39:48,761
(exhales)
880
00:39:48,761 --> 00:39:51,848
...to me,
better than any treasure.
881
00:39:51,848 --> 00:39:54,142
I've always believedthat a greater understanding
882
00:39:54,142 --> 00:39:55,518
of the swamp hadsome connection
883
00:39:55,518 --> 00:39:57,937
to the original workon Oak Island.
884
00:39:57,937 --> 00:39:59,981
There's an answer there,
885
00:39:59,981 --> 00:40:02,567
or an answer
which will propel us forward.
886
00:40:02,567 --> 00:40:04,903
But we have a ways to go.
887
00:40:04,903 --> 00:40:07,322
I'm getting all enthused
about the swamp. Come on, man.
888
00:40:07,322 --> 00:40:09,449
‐(all laugh)
‐So, you know,
889
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:11,075
the objective is
to figure this all out.
890
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:12,994
‐Yeah.
‐MARTY: So, let's get
the data we need,
891
00:40:12,994 --> 00:40:14,829
and I‐I just speak
for everyone here,
892
00:40:14,829 --> 00:40:16,122
and I thank you very much.
893
00:40:16,122 --> 00:40:17,165
Very interesting.
894
00:40:17,165 --> 00:40:18,625
It was a very good presentation.
895
00:40:18,625 --> 00:40:19,667
Yeah. Well, thank you.
896
00:40:19,667 --> 00:40:21,044
So, let's get back to it.
897
00:40:22,170 --> 00:40:23,504
IAN:Thank you.
898
00:40:23,504 --> 00:40:25,798
NARRATOR:For Rick, Marty and their team,
899
00:40:25,798 --> 00:40:27,258
receiving scientific evidence
900
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:30,511
that a major engineering effortcould have taken place
901
00:40:30,511 --> 00:40:33,264
in the Oak Island swampnearly 800 years ago
902
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:36,851
is nothing shortof a historic breakthrough.
903
00:40:36,851 --> 00:40:38,436
If anything,
904
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:41,356
it supportsthe incredible theories
905
00:40:41,356 --> 00:40:42,607
that the region now known
906
00:40:42,607 --> 00:40:44,317
as Nova Scotiamay have been visited
907
00:40:44,317 --> 00:40:47,612
by membersof the Knights Templar.
908
00:40:47,612 --> 00:40:50,823
But once the team is ableto dig in the swamp,
909
00:40:50,823 --> 00:40:53,201
what will they find?
910
00:40:53,201 --> 00:40:55,453
Perhaps a secret tunnel
911
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:56,996
leading to a vaultat the bottom
912
00:40:56,996 --> 00:40:58,539
of the original Money Pit?
913
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:00,625
Priceless religious artifacts
914
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:02,543
like the Holy Grail
915
00:41:02,543 --> 00:41:05,338
or the ark of the covenant?
916
00:41:05,338 --> 00:41:07,757
Or will they find
917
00:41:07,757 --> 00:41:10,760
something even more incredible?
918
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,805
Something that will explainwhy it needed to be
919
00:41:13,805 --> 00:41:16,557
so carefullyand elaborately hidden
920
00:41:16,557 --> 00:41:19,519
deep beneath the ground?
921
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:25,775
Next timeon The Curse of Oak Island...
922
00:41:25,775 --> 00:41:26,776
JACK:
Fire up the pump!
923
00:41:26,776 --> 00:41:28,569
RICK:
There we go.
924
00:41:28,569 --> 00:41:29,570
MARTY:Showtime!
925
00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:31,406
All right, here we go.
926
00:41:31,406 --> 00:41:34,367
JACK:
I'm excited to finally
be digging in the swamp.
927
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:35,994
TERRY:
We hit the side of a tunnel,
gentlemen.
928
00:41:35,994 --> 00:41:37,537
Complete success on this hole.
929
00:41:37,537 --> 00:41:40,081
We could be very, very close
to the Money Pit.
930
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:41,457
GARY:We're hot on the trail.
931
00:41:41,457 --> 00:41:42,792
(beeping)
932
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:44,877
Got a signal, Pete.
933
00:41:44,877 --> 00:41:46,879
‐PETER: What's that?
‐GARY: Oh, my gosh.
934
00:41:46,879 --> 00:41:49,090
That's bloody silver, mate.
935
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:50,508
This is what
we've been looking for!
