Spooner, suggesting that significant human activity 328 00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:26,322 took place in this area during the late 17th century, 329 00:14:26,449 --> 00:14:29,909 more than 100 years prior to the discovery of the money pit 330 00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:31,870 in 1795. 331 00:14:33,665 --> 00:14:36,416 The deal here was when we cored it, we got a nice record 332 00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:39,752 of sediment that we know goes back about 300 years. 333 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,796 And then, underneath that, we had clay, 334 00:14:41,923 --> 00:14:43,506 and that clay that was disturbed had wood in it. 335 00:14:43,633 --> 00:14:46,926 We dated that 1680. 336 00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:50,221 So, where I'm going with this now is I think the eye, 337 00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:53,766 it was excavated to extract clay. 338 00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:56,811 It was a clay mine. That's what I believe it was. 339 00:14:56,938 --> 00:14:59,606 -If they're mining clay here... -Yeah. 340 00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:02,692 ...And there's a substantial amount of clay here... 341 00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:06,487 -And you got to remember this clay would have weighed a lot. -Right. 342 00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:08,364 How would they get the clay out of here? 343 00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:12,493 So what I'm thinking is if that was intentionally leveled, 344 00:15:12,621 --> 00:15:15,622 which we believe it is, why would they do it? 345 00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,874 They probably leveled it so that they could get 346 00:15:18,001 --> 00:15:19,500 horse and carts in here. 347 00:15:19,628 --> 00:15:22,462 So I can see them putting it in barrels, 348 00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:24,923 and taking it out. 349 00:15:25,050 --> 00:15:29,677 If dr. Spooner and aaron taylor's theories are correct, 350 00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:32,639 the team might be able to find a direct link between 351 00:15:32,766 --> 00:15:34,682 the blue clay found in the swamp, 352 00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:36,601 and that used in the construction 353 00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:38,728 of the original money pit. 354 00:15:38,855 --> 00:15:42,231 If so, they might be able to determine not only a date 355 00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:44,400 when the treasure shaft was originally built, 356 00:15:44,527 --> 00:15:48,321 but also the identities of those who constructed it. 357 00:15:48,448 --> 00:15:53,201 This concept of dr. Spooner and professor taylor that the eye 358 00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:56,913 was used as a clay mine, that's interesting stuff. 359 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,749 You couple that with the paved area being man-made. 360 00:15:59,876 --> 00:16:03,628 That, to me, would indicate that there was significant 361 00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:06,255 industrial-like activity on the island 362 00:16:06,383 --> 00:16:08,800 long before we thought anything should have happened here. 363 00:16:08,927 --> 00:16:12,387 So... The intrigue of the mystery 364 00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:14,305 has actually intensified. 365 00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:16,307 -Aaron: I think it's man-made. - Okay. 366 00:16:16,434 --> 00:16:19,477 I think here I agree with ian that 367 00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:22,271 -right here they were mining clay. -Okay. 368 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,440 And there's quite possible a connection to 369 00:16:24,567 --> 00:16:27,902 the leveling area and this area. 370 00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:30,780 This is probably the most complex site I've ever been to. 371 00:16:32,575 --> 00:16:35,118 I don't know. It's a mystery. 372 00:16:35,245 --> 00:16:36,703 All right, well, let's all let that rattle around 373 00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:38,162 in our brains for a while, and maybe we can 374 00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:39,622 come up with something. 375 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:42,333 As usual, we've got more questions than answers, 376 00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:45,628 but you know, you certainly, uh, verified that it looks like 377 00:16:45,755 --> 00:16:49,882 somebody did something in here, so I don't know. 378 00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:51,718 -Thank you very much, aaron. Thank you, dr. Spooner. -Aaron: Yeah, thank you. 379 00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:55,304 - Yep. - Let's go. 380 00:16:55,432 --> 00:16:58,975 Following the day's activities in the swamp... 381 00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:01,477 Hey, guys.

Right in. 701 00:31:53,787 --> 00:31:57,831 Because it's open work. It's... There's rock on rock. 702 00:31:57,958 --> 00:31:59,791 It's just it would be like a natural aquifer. 703 00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:01,877 Yeah, I-it was uncontrollable. 704 00:32:02,004 --> 00:32:03,003 Yeah. 705 00:32:03,130 --> 00:32:04,963 Like, I can see... 706 00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:06,548 Look at it coming in, right over there. 707 00:32:06,675 --> 00:32:07,799 Yes. 708 00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:20,228 Yep. 709 00:32:20,356 --> 00:32:22,773 It's not what we see anywhere else out here 710 00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:24,691 except the paved area. 711 00:32:24,818 --> 00:32:27,486 - See the sticks and the rocks? - Yep.
