1
00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:04,128
Narrator: Tonight on the curse of oak island...
2
00:00:04,255 --> 00:00:05,713
-Rick: It's coming up.
-This is the money pit area.
3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,839
All right. So we have
a chance at the treasure.
4
00:00:06,966 --> 00:00:08,841
We're on the right spot.
5
00:00:08,968 --> 00:00:10,175
Marty: I can't wait to see what comes out of that hole.
6
00:00:10,302 --> 00:00:11,552
Rick:
You're certain that's bone?
7
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:12,678
It's big.
It's probably a human bone.
8
00:00:12,805 --> 00:00:14,304
It's the bottom of a barrel.
9
00:00:14,432 --> 00:00:15,931
Craig: What would a barrel
be doing down there?
10
00:00:16,058 --> 00:00:18,017
That's a component
of the original treasure cache.
11
00:00:18,144 --> 00:00:19,727
Gary:
Oh, my gosh.
12
00:00:19,854 --> 00:00:22,271
It's a ring.
This is a ring, mate.
13
00:00:22,398 --> 00:00:23,439
Lewton-brain: It appears to have been chiseled.
14
00:00:23,566 --> 00:00:25,983
Prior to 1730s.
15
00:00:26,110 --> 00:00:27,151
Possibly spanish.
16
00:00:27,278 --> 00:00:29,236
We're back in business!
17
00:00:31,657 --> 00:00:35,200
Narrator: There is an island in the north atlantic
18
00:00:35,327 --> 00:00:38,537
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
19
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:41,915
for more than 200 years.
20
00:00:42,043 --> 00:00:44,960
So far, they have found a stone slab
21
00:00:45,087 --> 00:00:47,629
with strange symbols carved into it,
22
00:00:47,757 --> 00:00:50,507
mysterious fragments of human bone,
23
00:00:50,634 --> 00:00:54,261
and a lead cross whose origin may stretch back
24
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:56,889
to the days of the knights templar.
25
00:00:57,016 --> 00:01:01,143
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
26
00:01:02,354 --> 00:01:04,354
And, according to legend,
27
00:01:04,482 --> 00:01:07,483
one more will have to die
28
00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:11,111
before the treasure can be found.
29
00:01:14,867 --> 00:01:16,784
♪ ♪
30
00:01:23,084 --> 00:01:25,793
narrator:A chilly fall rapidly makes way
31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,962
for another harsh nova scotia winter...
32
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:31,131
-Okay, watch it. It's coming up.
-Gary: I'm confident
33
00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:33,675
we're gonna find
some good stuff.
34
00:01:33,803 --> 00:01:35,719
...As brothers rick and marty lagina
35
00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:38,722
have only a few weeks left before they will be forced
36
00:01:38,849 --> 00:01:41,308
to end this year's search operations on oak island.
37
00:01:41,435 --> 00:01:45,020
Today they, along with representatives
38
00:01:45,147 --> 00:01:48,357
from irving equipment limited and roc equipment,
39
00:01:48,484 --> 00:01:49,942
are digging a massive, eight-foot-wide
40
00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:52,528
steel-cased shaft at oc-1,
41
00:01:52,655 --> 00:01:54,863
the site of what they believe could be the original
42
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:57,825
money pit treasure shaft.
43
00:01:57,952 --> 00:02:00,285
God, I never expected
this much wood.
44
00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:03,080
We're gonna follow that hedden
wall the whole way down.
45
00:02:03,207 --> 00:02:05,499
Narrator: So far, the drilling caisson
46
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:07,543
has reached a depth of some 50 feet,
47
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:11,463
and the progress is proving slower than expected.
48
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:14,508
This is partially due to the fact that they are digging
49
00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:16,385
through the remnants of a searcher shaft
50
00:02:16,512 --> 00:02:21,723
built by treasure hunter gilbert hedden back in 1937.
51
00:02:21,851 --> 00:02:24,351
-Where is all this stuff from?
-Hedden shaft.
52
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:27,980
Narrator: Reaching a depth of 125 feet,
53
00:02:28,107 --> 00:02:30,274
the hedden shaft is a 12-by-24-foot
54
00:02:30,401 --> 00:02:32,526
wood-cribbed shaft
55
00:02:32,653 --> 00:02:35,654
that was designed to recover the legendary chappell vault,
56
00:02:35,781 --> 00:02:37,698
the seven-foot-high wooden chest
57
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:40,617
that was first discovered in 1897
58
00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:44,705
and was believed to containboth gold and ancient writings.
59
00:02:44,832 --> 00:02:47,541
Unfortunately, hedden's efforts to reach the vault
60
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:50,127
were repeatedly thwarted by flooding,
61
00:02:50,254 --> 00:02:53,755
and construction of the shaft was ultimately abandoned.
62
00:02:53,883 --> 00:02:56,633
We're taking apart some
of the wall of the hedden shaft,
63
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,137
and if there is anything at all to be found,
64
00:03:00,264 --> 00:03:02,723
it's going to be below the hedden shaft itself.
65
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,725
But we've-we've got
a ways to go yet.
66
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:08,520
Now, what do we expect
to find at the bottom of this?
67
00:03:08,647 --> 00:03:11,064
Well, if this is
the money pit area,
68
00:03:11,192 --> 00:03:12,316
we're gonna watch
for the original wood.
69
00:03:12,443 --> 00:03:14,151
Anything old,
anything like that.
70
00:03:14,278 --> 00:03:16,153
Rick:
That would mean
we're on the right spot.
71
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,031
All right. So we could have a
chance at the shiny gold thing?
72
00:03:19,158 --> 00:03:21,033
(laughs)
73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,035
rick: We have significant hope in this.
74
00:03:23,162 --> 00:03:26,663
As part of this excavation,
we may uncover
75
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:29,166
the terminal point of the original money pit.
76
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:32,002
So, really, it's a matter of if you find hand-hewn timbers
77
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:34,922
at depth within this can,
78
00:03:35,049 --> 00:03:36,590
I think we are very close, then,
79
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:38,550
to positioning the original money pit.
80
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:40,802
And the hope is, of course,
81
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:43,597
that the one thing
will be, uh, downhole.
82
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:45,265
I'm very hopeful.
83
00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:50,229
Narrator: It was at this location earlier this year...
84
00:03:50,356 --> 00:03:52,147
Whoa! Look at this.
85
00:03:52,274 --> 00:03:53,941
...That a core-drilling operation
86
00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:55,776
revealed evidence of a wooden structure
87
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:58,195
some 106 feet deep undergroun.
88
00:03:58,322 --> 00:03:59,821
Terry:
This is hand-cut.
89
00:03:59,949 --> 00:04:01,031
-That's very old.
-Yeah.
90
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:02,407
Narrator: When tested,
91
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:05,827
the wood recovered dated to 1626,
92
00:04:05,955 --> 00:04:08,121
more than 150 years prior
93
00:04:08,249 --> 00:04:12,668
to the discovery of the money pit in 1795.
94
00:04:14,672 --> 00:04:17,172
Using one-inch-thick, 26-foot-long sections
95
00:04:17,299 --> 00:04:21,426
of the steel caissons, the oc-1 shaft will be able
96
00:04:21,553 --> 00:04:24,721
to go as deep as 200 feet to hopefully reach what people
97
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:28,183
have been looking for for more than two centuries.
98
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:33,522
We have commenced digging
on what rick has termed oc-1,
99
00:04:33,649 --> 00:04:35,816
and I love that location
100
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:38,360
because I think it's a clearer indicator
101
00:04:38,487 --> 00:04:40,612
of the money pit than anything else.
102
00:04:40,739 --> 00:04:43,198
And I can't wait to see what--
what comes out of that hole.
103
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:46,493
The hope here to me
is nothing to do with treasure.
104
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:50,205
It's finding a chunk of wood
big enough to dendro.
105
00:04:50,332 --> 00:04:53,000
-Yeah.
-And then we'll have
an idea of who and when.
106
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,167
You have the wood,
I'll have the gold.
107
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:55,669
-(laughs): There you go.
-Yeah.
108
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:57,504
-Gary: I'm with you, scott.
-Okay, dave.
109
00:04:57,631 --> 00:04:58,839
(laughter)
110
00:05:00,843 --> 00:05:03,427
narrator: Later that afternoon,
111
00:05:03,554 --> 00:05:06,596
as the digging operation at the money pit continues...
112
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:09,016
Gary: This is where I want to detect, rick.
113
00:05:09,143 --> 00:05:11,351
Narrator: ...Rick and gary head over to the triangle-shaped swamp,
114
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:13,687
where they are eager to continue
115
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:15,731
searching for important clues
116
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:18,358
connected to the massive stone-paved feature
117
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:20,569
they unearthed earlier this year.
118
00:05:20,696 --> 00:05:23,322
I've never, ever been able
to get in here
119
00:05:23,449 --> 00:05:25,824
because the swamp's
always been high.
120
00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:28,118
So, let's do this slow.
121
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:30,454
-I'm gonna zigzag
along the bank.
-Okay.
122
00:05:30,581 --> 00:05:32,122
(metal detector beeping)
123
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:34,207
rick:
I love that sound.
124
00:05:34,335 --> 00:05:37,210
The swamp has been probably the most interesting
125
00:05:37,338 --> 00:05:39,546
physical feature on the islan.
126
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,173
We've made some
interesting finds,
127
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,217
but there's no
connective tissue.
128
00:05:44,345 --> 00:05:46,595
There's a lot
of speculative tissue,
129
00:05:46,722 --> 00:05:48,722
but there's no aha moment.
130
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:52,267
We need to try to unravel this mystery.
131
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:55,604
(detector beeping)
132
00:05:55,731 --> 00:05:58,273
sounds good, mate?
133
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,318
Be careful, it might be
a bit mushy down there.
134
00:06:01,445 --> 00:06:03,278
Might be a little bit squidgy.
135
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,703
Seems to be dead
down the middle, still.
136
00:06:21,548 --> 00:06:23,423
-Rick: There it is.
-It's out.
137
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:31,723
(scoffs)
138
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:33,183
-tin can lid.
-Oh.
139
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:34,434
Gary:
Yep.
140
00:06:36,146 --> 00:06:38,814
-Definitely not templar-related.
-(chuckles)
141
00:06:42,778 --> 00:06:44,569
(detector beeping)
142
00:06:48,534 --> 00:06:49,825
gary:
Yeah. Good signal here.
143
00:06:49,952 --> 00:06:52,869
Another good one.
144
00:06:52,996 --> 00:06:54,788
Be nice to have a good find,
145
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:56,832
-not just a good signal, right?
-Just there.
146
00:07:05,342 --> 00:07:07,509
(detector beeping)
147
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:28,697
(whoops)
148
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:30,907
it's a ring.
149
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:34,369
-This is a ring, mate.
-(laughs)
150
00:07:34,496 --> 00:07:36,455
that is a ring.
151
00:07:36,582 --> 00:07:37,831
-Rick: Oh, yeah.
-Look at that.
152
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,499
Gary:
I don't know what type it is,
153
00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:41,835
so I just don't want
to mess with it too much.
154
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:43,670
And what I like about this...
155
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,131
-Rick: It's a perfect shape.
-It's nice and thick,
156
00:07:46,258 --> 00:07:49,009
and there's a, there's a lot
of pattern on it.
157
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:51,344
-Rick: It is quite intricate.
-Yeah. That's intricate.
158
00:07:51,472 --> 00:07:53,430
And they did that in old rings,
159
00:07:53,557 --> 00:07:56,224
because a modern ring is more
likely to have stones in it.
160
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:57,517
Stones in it.
161
00:07:57,644 --> 00:07:59,895
Narrator: An ornate ring?
162
00:08:00,022 --> 00:08:02,856
Could this simple piece ofjewelry offer an important clue
163
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:05,066
as to who might have constructed
164
00:08:05,194 --> 00:08:08,987
the elaborate stone formationat the swamp and possibly when?
165
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,532
That is a sweet find, mate.
166
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:14,451
-I wasn't expecting that.
-No.
167
00:08:14,578 --> 00:08:16,745
-Is that top-pocket?
-This...
168
00:08:16,872 --> 00:08:20,373
Is a top-pocket find, mate,
for sure.
169
00:08:20,501 --> 00:08:21,791
-We're back in business!
-(laughs)
170
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:23,293
sweet!
171
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:26,213
You are my lucky digger.
172
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:28,340
-Bloody fantastic, mate.
-Rick: Beautiful.
173
00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:33,386
Narrator: After finding an ornate ring
174
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:36,014
in the mysterious, triangle-shaped swamp,
175
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:37,766
rick lagina and gary drayton
176
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:39,976
head to the oak island research center
177
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:43,230
to share their potentially important discovery.
178
00:08:43,357 --> 00:08:45,398
That one's supposed to be
six feet deep.
179
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:46,900
-Marty: Oh, really? Hey, guys.
-Laird: Yeah.
180
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:49,027
-Hey.
-There's a big grin.
181
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:51,029
-There's a big...
-Laird: He's got that look
on his face.
182
00:08:51,156 --> 00:08:52,906
You found something, didn't you?
183
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:54,824
-Something in the top pocket.
-Top pocket. Let's have a look.
184
00:08:54,952 --> 00:08:56,868
Fantastic.
185
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,870
-(laughs): I can tell,
gary, immediately.
-(laughs)
186
00:08:58,997 --> 00:09:00,664
yeah, I can't keep any secrets,
187
00:09:00,791 --> 00:09:03,041
-mate. Here you go.
-No.
188
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:06,294
-Marty: What have we got here?
-Gary: A nice, little ring.
189
00:09:08,257 --> 00:09:09,673
Marty:
Oh, goodness.
190
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,050
Gary:
It was on the edge of the swamp,
where it goes
191
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:13,802
up to the beach road.
192
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:17,138
Marty:
That is clearly a ring
193
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:19,015
-for a very small finger.
-Laird: Yeah.
194
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:20,767
-That's tiny, isn't it?
-Mm-hmm.
195
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:24,646
-We'll let kelly have a look.
-Sure.
196
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:27,774
Nice design.
197
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,067
Actually very female-looking.
198
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:30,652
-It has to be. I mean...
-Yeah.
199
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,028
-If this was a guy, he was...
-Given the size.
200
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:33,363
-Yeah, he was a small man.
-Yeah.
201
00:09:33,490 --> 00:09:36,241
But back in the day,
they had small hands.
202
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:37,659
-Mm-hmm. True.
-If this is old.
203
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:39,119
Laird:
We can look at it
204
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,329
-under the microscope.
-Let's do it.
205
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:44,249
Narrator: Using a grobet digital microscope,
206
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:45,834
laird will be able to magnify
207
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:48,169
the antique ring and examine its features
208
00:09:48,297 --> 00:09:51,006
up to 2,000 times their actual size.
209
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:53,675
-Gary: Yeah.
Like a flower design.
-Kelly: Flowers.
210
00:09:53,802 --> 00:09:55,510
-Yeah.
-Gary: At first...
211
00:09:55,637 --> 00:09:57,429
-So, that's the central motif.
-Gary: Yeah.
-Right.
212
00:09:57,556 --> 00:09:58,930
Strange arrangement
of the circles
213
00:09:59,057 --> 00:10:01,933
on the inside of the flowers.
214
00:10:04,563 --> 00:10:06,271
Gary:
And like a little wave design.
215
00:10:06,398 --> 00:10:09,190
Well, and that circle, uh, shape
216
00:10:09,318 --> 00:10:11,651
is different than the circle
shape that's in the middle.
217
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:14,362
It's got some green tarnish
on it.
218
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:17,490
Little bit of a silvery sheen
to it, as well.
219
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:19,451
Gary:
But I love that silver inlay.
220
00:10:19,578 --> 00:10:21,077
Marty:
What silver inlay?
221
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:23,538
-What are you looking at?
-In between the flower design.
222
00:10:23,665 --> 00:10:24,706
Marty:
And you think
those little white bits
223
00:10:24,833 --> 00:10:26,416
-are silver, huh?
-Yeah.
224
00:10:26,543 --> 00:10:28,710
Yeah, I suspect so. Yeah.
225
00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:32,005
Narrator: Silver?
226
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:34,549
Could rick, marty and the team have found
227
00:10:34,676 --> 00:10:37,552
another piece of actual treasure on oak island?
228
00:10:40,223 --> 00:10:43,266
Marty:
What's going on right there?
Is that silver?
229
00:10:43,393 --> 00:10:44,601
-No. Silver wouldn't be silver,
though. Would it?
-No.
230
00:10:44,728 --> 00:10:46,478
That's just-- what that is,
231
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,647
is they've just joined
the two ends together.
232
00:10:48,774 --> 00:10:49,939
They braised it or soldered it.
233
00:10:50,067 --> 00:10:52,192
It's a weird way to put
two things together.
234
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:54,152
(chuckling):
It seems overcomplicated.
235
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:55,278
The corrosion
is different, though.
236
00:10:55,405 --> 00:10:57,447
I mean, green and reddish.
237
00:10:57,574 --> 00:11:00,492
Uh, so two different kinds
of metals, perhaps.
238
00:11:00,619 --> 00:11:02,702
Copper alloy, et cetera.
239
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:05,705
-Laird: That is weird.
-Yeah.
240
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:07,832
Marty:
You know, I was just
having a thought;
241
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:09,167
who was the last person
242
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:10,794
to have that fall off
their finger, you know?
243
00:11:10,921 --> 00:11:11,836
What's the story? Why?
244
00:11:11,963 --> 00:11:13,546
-I mean...
-Yeah.
245
00:11:13,674 --> 00:11:15,674
Rick:
That starburst has
to tell you something.
246
00:11:15,801 --> 00:11:17,384
And I don't know
what that means,
247
00:11:17,511 --> 00:11:20,720
but certainly someone
would know.
248
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:22,931
Obviously, this has to go
to a jewelry expert, right?
249
00:11:23,058 --> 00:11:24,474
Isn't that what you guys
would recommend?
250
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:26,101
Yeah. It can be cleaned up.
251
00:11:26,228 --> 00:11:28,520
Marty:
Well, we've had other jewelry,
252
00:11:28,647 --> 00:11:30,772
and we've brought it
to professor lewton-brain
253
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:32,649
at calgary, and he seemed
to have a wealth of knowledge.
254
00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:35,068
So, I got a feeling I know
where this one's going.
255
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,319
Yeah.
256
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:37,904
Rick: It's a significant find.
257
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:40,490
It's a piece of so-called treasure.
258
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:42,158
But it's not about
just finding it,
259
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:43,618
it's about revealing it.
260
00:11:43,745 --> 00:11:45,912
There's certainly a pattern on it,
261
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:49,374
maybe related to some cultural influences.
262
00:11:49,501 --> 00:11:50,792
And it may give us a date.
263
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:53,002
So we will be bringing in some experts
264
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:54,671
to take a look at it.
265
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:57,048
There's a lot of information
that could be gleaned from it.
266
00:11:57,175 --> 00:11:58,842
Guys, it's a great find.
267
00:11:58,969 --> 00:12:00,051
Anything like that
is fascinating,
268
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:01,261
and we'll keep exploring it.
269
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:03,263
But you know
what I'm gonna say, gary.
270
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:04,931
Yep. Now get out there
and find some more.
271
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,725
(chuckling): Take your lucky
digger and get out there
272
00:12:06,852 --> 00:12:08,351
-and find some more.
-Okay, mate. Will do.
273
00:12:08,478 --> 00:12:10,395
-Let's go.
-See you soon.
274
00:12:10,522 --> 00:12:13,732
-All right, mate. Cheers. -Marty: See you, guys.
275
00:12:19,364 --> 00:12:21,823
Narrator: The following day...
276
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:25,326
The hope is today
that we get to depth.
277
00:12:25,454 --> 00:12:28,371
...Rick and his business partner craig tester
278
00:12:28,498 --> 00:12:32,500
join geologist terry matheson at the money pit area
279
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:34,043
to hear an update on the progress being made
280
00:12:34,171 --> 00:12:37,672
at borehole oc-1.
281
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,799
-Hey, craig.
-Morning, danny.
-What's the good word?
282
00:12:39,926 --> 00:12:42,469
Morning. Uh,
just going over the numbers.
283
00:12:42,596 --> 00:12:46,347
So, we have 105.4
for the top-top of the plug.
284
00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:47,515
We are where we should be.
285
00:12:47,642 --> 00:12:49,058
-Okay.
-Yeah.
286
00:12:49,186 --> 00:12:51,811
You know, we're getting right
to some key areas,
287
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:53,146
really, from here on down.
288
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:55,398
So we'll see,
once we get below there,
289
00:12:55,525 --> 00:12:56,941
if we're bringing up
any wood at all.
290
00:12:57,068 --> 00:12:58,651
-All right. Very good.
-I mean,
291
00:12:58,779 --> 00:13:00,153
there's a little bit
of unknown here.
292
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,489
If you feel anything,
if your pressures spike,
293
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:05,074
if anything out
of the ordinary happens,
294
00:13:05,202 --> 00:13:07,494
-we-we would like to know that.
-Danny and craig: Yeah.
295
00:13:07,621 --> 00:13:10,121
And the wash plant
is up and operative,
296
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:13,166
so we can process
that material right away.
297
00:13:13,293 --> 00:13:14,667
Danny:
All right, then. Very good.
298
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:16,377
-All right, thank you, guys.
-Terry: Okay.
299
00:13:16,505 --> 00:13:19,088
See you later, dan.
300
00:13:19,216 --> 00:13:22,383
Narrator: Having reached a depth of some 105 feet,
301
00:13:22,511 --> 00:13:24,219
the oak island team will now begin
302
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:26,888
the tedious and painstaking process
303
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:28,640
of carefully sifting through the massive amounts
304
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:30,350
of earth and spoils
305
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:35,313
excavatedby the 26-ton hammer grab tool.
306
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,650
Rick: So, we're about to entera significant zone of interest.
307
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:41,069
We know the depth of the old wood
308
00:13:41,196 --> 00:13:44,656
that may be associated with the original money pit.
309
00:13:44,783 --> 00:13:46,491
So, as we approach that zone,
310
00:13:46,618 --> 00:13:48,368
we're gonna be looking and quite excited
311
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:50,370
about going through the spoil.
312
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:57,919
Narrator: As each load of materials arefed into the nearby wash plant,
313
00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,713
two shaker decks will automatically separate
314
00:14:00,841 --> 00:14:03,383
and sort the spoils according to size,
315
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:06,052
as a series of fixed spray nozzles
316
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,972
clean soil and sediment off any objects.
317
00:14:09,099 --> 00:14:13,142
The resulting piles can then be meticulously searched by hand
318
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:16,604
for any important clues, artifacts, or valuables.
319
00:14:19,818 --> 00:14:21,484
Gary:
What depth are we at now?
320
00:14:21,611 --> 00:14:23,236
Rick:
105 excavation.
321
00:14:24,823 --> 00:14:26,739
And what's the target depth,
you know,
322
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:28,950
where we're gonna get
into the good stuff?
323
00:14:29,077 --> 00:14:31,035
Another...
324
00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:34,289
Five feet, give or take.
325
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:37,333
Look, anything that comes out
of this location
326
00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:38,835
will be interesting,
327
00:14:38,962 --> 00:14:41,754
because it's somewhat unknown.
328
00:14:41,882 --> 00:14:43,798
Gary:
I want some tunnels,
329
00:14:43,925 --> 00:14:45,466
'cause I'm sure this stuff's
330
00:14:45,594 --> 00:14:47,343
been migrating underground.
331
00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:49,470
Well, we'll find out.
332
00:14:52,142 --> 00:14:54,142
Gary:
Heads up!
333
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:04,319
Terry:
See a lot of the sand
from the hedden.
334
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:06,988
-Sand from the hedden backfill.
-Yeah, I saw that.
335
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:11,618
Look.
Got two wedges here, mate.
336
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,953
Yeah, I see that.
I just took one over.
337
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,080
A couple of them
with that pointed end.
338
00:15:16,207 --> 00:15:17,665
Alex:
Morning, guys.
339
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:19,167
-Craig: Morning.
-Oh, hey, alex. How you doing?
-Hey.
340
00:15:19,294 --> 00:15:20,752
Hey, marty.
341
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:22,545
-What do we got?
-Got some wood.
342
00:15:22,672 --> 00:15:26,049
Alex:
Yeah, you can see
the new versus the old.
343
00:15:26,176 --> 00:15:27,467
Are they hand-hewn on the--
344
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:29,052
-on the...
-No, they're-they're pit-sawn.
345
00:15:29,179 --> 00:15:30,678
-Straight cut.
-They're pit-sawn.
346
00:15:30,805 --> 00:15:33,097
The wood that's coming up, some of it
347
00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:35,934
could be very significant,
because it looks straight-sawn.
348
00:15:36,061 --> 00:15:38,019
And straight-sawn lumber was done
349
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:39,771
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
350
00:15:39,898 --> 00:15:42,023
Maybe that was original stuff.
351
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:45,276
They should be perfect for dendrochronology, so...
352
00:15:45,403 --> 00:15:46,986
We'll see what the science says.
353
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:50,657
Rick: I'm thinking we're close.
354
00:15:50,784 --> 00:15:52,533
I'm very hopeful that this
will give us some answers.
355
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:55,828
Gary:
Wow! What the heck is that,
356
00:15:55,956 --> 00:15:56,829
hanging off there?
357
00:16:02,921 --> 00:16:06,172
Narrator:While excavating borehole oc-1,
358
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:08,508
brothers rick and marty lagina
359
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:10,760
and members of the oak island team
360
00:16:10,887 --> 00:16:14,764
have just unearthed a large and mysterious metal object.
361
00:16:14,891 --> 00:16:16,849
Gary:
Wow.
362
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:18,893
Let's see if we can drag some
of that out.
363
00:16:20,605 --> 00:16:23,231
He's gonna scrape it off.
364
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:27,276
Is that the shoe or the shield?
365
00:16:27,404 --> 00:16:29,112
Shield, probably.
366
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:30,488
That'd definitely be
the hedden...
367
00:16:30,615 --> 00:16:31,781
-Shield, right?
-Yeah.
368
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:34,200
That hasn't seen
the light of day since 1936.
369
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:36,077
Craig:
Yep.
370
00:16:36,204 --> 00:16:39,497
Narrator: During construction of the hedden shaft,
371
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:42,625
gilbert hedden reinforced the structure at the bottom
372
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:45,712
with a six-foot-tall metal brace, or shield,
373
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,714
to protect the shaft from cave-ins
374
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:49,716
caused by the flood tunnels.
375
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:52,677
Could finding hedden's so-called shield
376
00:16:52,804 --> 00:16:54,887
mean that the team is on coure
377
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:57,306
to reach either the original money pit
378
00:16:57,434 --> 00:17:00,268
or perhaps the chappell vault?
379
00:17:00,395 --> 00:17:03,021
Rick: We always assumed we would at least
380
00:17:03,148 --> 00:17:05,481
tag into a piece of the shield.
381
00:17:05,608 --> 00:17:07,817
And it turns out we have.
382
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:10,069
So there's high hope for this location.
383
00:17:10,196 --> 00:17:12,697
So we're gonna have everyone looking
384
00:17:12,824 --> 00:17:14,282
with a very discriminating ey,
385
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:16,617
trying to figure this thing out.
386
00:17:16,745 --> 00:17:18,745
We can't wait. These
last couple feet, you know?
387
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:20,747
I mean, we're just about there.
We got--
388
00:17:20,874 --> 00:17:22,540
it's gonna be the results
of all this research.
389
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:25,501
We maybe might find
the one thing.
390
00:17:25,628 --> 00:17:28,087
Doug:
Anything after this
is gonna be...
391
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,006
-Unusual.
-Alex: Yep.
-Craig: Yeah.
392
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:31,549
(grunting)
393
00:17:31,676 --> 00:17:33,551
rick:
Well, I suppose
394
00:17:33,678 --> 00:17:35,428
I'm gonna head down
to the wash plant and put
395
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:37,513
another set of eyes on it.
396
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,892
See you later.
397
00:17:41,019 --> 00:17:43,686
Narrator: Now that the drilling caisson has passed through the bottom
398
00:17:43,813 --> 00:17:47,231
of the hedden shaft into whatthe team believes could be near
399
00:17:47,358 --> 00:17:48,733
the original money pit,
400
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:51,152
anything found beyond this point
401
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,863
could be a game-changing discovery.
402
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:55,865
Because of this, rick lagina
403
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:58,618
has joined local historian paul troutman
404
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:00,536
and other members of the team
405
00:18:00,663 --> 00:18:02,705
as they search through the day's spoils.
406
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:06,584
Huh?
407
00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:24,769
Oh, wow. Look at that.
408
00:18:26,189 --> 00:18:27,438
What do you think of this?
409
00:18:27,565 --> 00:18:29,023
That look like bone?
410
00:18:30,068 --> 00:18:32,693
Rick:
Holy...
411
00:18:32,821 --> 00:18:33,653
Definitely bone.
412
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:34,987
Yeah.
413
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:36,155
Rick:
Oh, baby.
414
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:37,865
Paul:
Well, it's hollow.
415
00:18:37,992 --> 00:18:40,409
I mean, it's big. It's probably
a human bone, it looks like.
416
00:18:40,537 --> 00:18:41,911
Rick:
That is huge.
417
00:18:42,038 --> 00:18:43,913
Paul:
It is a huge bone.
418
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,706
I would have to get it tested,
419
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:48,501
but it's a pretty thick bone
at that.
420
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,419
Narrator: A piece of bone
421
00:18:50,547 --> 00:18:55,466
found nearly 120 feet deep in borehole oc-1?
422
00:18:55,593 --> 00:18:58,845
Could it be related to the two fragments of human bones
423
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:01,139
that were discovered in nearby borehole h-8
424
00:19:01,266 --> 00:19:03,599
just two years ago?
425
00:19:03,726 --> 00:19:05,810
Bones that, when tested,
426
00:19:05,937 --> 00:19:08,020
each dated to the 1600s
427
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:10,356
and were determined to be of european
428
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:12,733
and middle eastern origin?
429
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:16,154
I don't think any of us
is in any position
430
00:19:16,281 --> 00:19:18,948
to state
that this is a human bone.
431
00:19:19,075 --> 00:19:20,783
But it's an aha moment.
432
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,493
We're very close to h-8.
433
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:23,953
We know those were human bone.
434
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,163
Science has said so.
435
00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:27,915
So is this part of that find?
436
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:30,084
From that depth,
it's very strange.
437
00:19:30,211 --> 00:19:31,460
It is.
438
00:19:31,588 --> 00:19:33,880
So, it was 105 this morning
439
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:35,715
-when it started, right?
-Yep.
440
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:38,634
So it must be at least 118, 120.
441
00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:40,887
Rick:
Yeah. It all points
442
00:19:41,014 --> 00:19:43,181
toward something
being significant, right?
443
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,186
Hope we can find it.
444
00:19:48,313 --> 00:19:50,605
Narrator: Later that afternoon,
445
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:54,233
as the excavation of borehole oc-1 continues,
446
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,861
rick lagina gathers with members of the team
447
00:19:56,988 --> 00:20:00,740
in the war room to hear a highly anticipated report
448
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:04,619
on the possible silver ringfound one day ago in the swamp.
449
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:07,413
Doug, if you'd be kind enough
to-to bring him up,
450
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:08,831
-and we'll say hello
to the gentleman
-certainly.
451
00:20:08,958 --> 00:20:11,584
And hopefully get some
really relevant information.
452
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:15,254
-Hello, professor. How are you?
-Good.
453
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,465
Narrator: Joining them via video conference
454
00:20:17,592 --> 00:20:19,467
is charles lewton-brain,
455
00:20:19,594 --> 00:20:22,595
a professor at the alberta college of art and design,
456
00:20:22,722 --> 00:20:25,014
who has more than 30 years
457
00:20:25,141 --> 00:20:26,807
of experience as a professional gemologist
458
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:28,976
and master goldsmith.
459
00:20:29,103 --> 00:20:32,939
Having examined detailed photographs taken of the ring,
460
00:20:33,066 --> 00:20:35,483
lewton-brain has been able to determine
461
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,735
not only when the object was made
462
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:40,863
but also its possible origins.
463
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:43,199
Well, it's always good
464
00:20:43,326 --> 00:20:45,910
-when you get something out
of your top pocket.
-(chuckling)
465
00:20:46,037 --> 00:20:49,372
I've found thousands of rings--
466
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:52,375
gold, silver, bronze, copper--
467
00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:55,044
and this ring's got me stumped.
468
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:57,421
So I'm hoping you've got
some good news for us.
469
00:20:57,548 --> 00:20:59,966
I'm hoping this is kind of old.
470
00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:03,094
Well, it's definitely kind of old.
471
00:21:03,221 --> 00:21:05,054
I think we could start with that.
472
00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:08,307
The repair is crude.
473
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:11,269
And because of the way it was done,
474
00:21:11,396 --> 00:21:14,647
it looks like somebody needed it done pretty quickly.
475
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:16,148
And I think there are two repairs.
476
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:17,608
I think there was one repair
477
00:21:17,735 --> 00:21:19,610
to make the ring a lot bigger,
478
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:22,280
and a second repair to make the ring a little smaller.
479
00:21:22,407 --> 00:21:26,158
Gary: It does look like
there was a better metal used
480
00:21:26,286 --> 00:21:28,160
for the repair, like silver
481
00:21:28,288 --> 00:21:29,745
-or platinum.
-Yes.
482
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:32,331
It's... It's a good ring.
483
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:35,584
Well... But on the top part of that joint,
484
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:37,670
it is still bright silver.
485
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:40,756
And the ring itself has corroded away,
486
00:21:40,883 --> 00:21:44,885
uh, thinned out from that patch of metal.
487
00:21:45,013 --> 00:21:47,263
So that could mean bronze,
488
00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:51,350
or it could mean a highercopper content to silver alloy.
489
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:53,102
Where did
this floral pattern...?
490
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:55,688
I mean, is there
any cultural influence to it?
491
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:58,399
The, uh, floral design definitely
492
00:21:58,526 --> 00:22:00,276
appears, um, handmade.
493
00:22:00,403 --> 00:22:02,820
The flower in the center
494
00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:04,447
is rather interesting,
495
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:06,699
because it appears to have been chiseled.
496
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:09,118
That is, cut out using chisel,
497
00:22:09,245 --> 00:22:11,579
which implies older in time,
498
00:22:11,706 --> 00:22:16,208
because, um, saw blades don't really become available
499
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:19,837
to jewelers until 1730s, 1750.
500
00:22:19,964 --> 00:22:22,506
And, um... And so, prior to that,
501
00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:25,676
you would be cutting the metal out with a chisel.
502
00:22:25,803 --> 00:22:30,681
So did I hear you correctly,
that it would be pre-1730?
503
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:32,558
It is.
504
00:22:32,685 --> 00:22:35,311
-Sweet.
-And the floral pattern
505
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:37,438
reads european to me.
506
00:22:37,565 --> 00:22:39,774
-I see.
-Uh, possibly spanish.
507
00:22:43,654 --> 00:22:46,489
Narrator: A spanish silver ring?
508
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:50,201
Dating back to the early 1700s or earlier?
509
00:22:50,328 --> 00:22:52,953
Could it be in some way connected
510
00:22:53,081 --> 00:22:56,749
to the spanish maravedi coin-- dated to 1652--
511
00:22:56,876 --> 00:22:59,293
that rick, marty and the team found six years ago
512
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:01,253
in the swamp?
513
00:23:01,381 --> 00:23:03,756
Yeah. Now you've pointed it out,
514
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:07,385
I know that flower designs
were really popular
515
00:23:07,512 --> 00:23:09,887
on a lot of the spanish jewelry
516
00:23:10,014 --> 00:23:12,556
that you find
from the treasure fleets
517
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:14,100
-around the world, actually.
-Yeah.
518
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:16,811
Well, you know,
whenever we find things,
519
00:23:16,938 --> 00:23:19,688
we're always looking to come
to a greater understanding
520
00:23:19,816 --> 00:23:22,525
of possibly the "who" of it,
but certainly "when."
521
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:26,195
that timeline is instrumental
in figuring out the who, what,
522
00:23:26,322 --> 00:23:28,823
when, where and why and how of
oak island, that's for sure.
523
00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:31,492
So, we thank you for your help.
It's been insightful.
524
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:34,036
Thank you.
525
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:35,663
-Thank you.
-All right, mate. Cheers.
-Billy: Thank you.
526
00:23:35,790 --> 00:23:37,289
Gary: I'm hoping there's some more there.
527
00:23:37,417 --> 00:23:38,833
Rick: So, let's go.
528
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:47,508
Narrator: As a new day begins on oak island...
529
00:23:47,635 --> 00:23:49,218
-Alex: Morning, guys.
-Craig: Morning!
530
00:23:49,345 --> 00:23:51,303
Narrator: ....Brothers rick and marty lagina,
531
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:53,347
their partner, craig tester
532
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:56,475
and other members of their team are continuing
533
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:59,603
to oversee the excavation of borehole oc-1,
534
00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:02,565
a borehole which they believe could lead them directly
535
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:04,567
to the original money pit.
536
00:24:06,612 --> 00:24:08,863
Marty:
We should be below
the hedden shaft now.
537
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:11,407
Anything we find
should be interesting.
538
00:24:11,534 --> 00:24:12,867
-Yeah.
-Right on.
539
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,503
Gary:
Finally out of that wood.
540
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,589
Terry:
Let's get a look at it.
541
00:24:28,509 --> 00:24:31,427
So, we're in situ now.
Sand and silt.
542
00:24:31,554 --> 00:24:34,263
Yeah. That's just what we would
expect to see at that depth.
543
00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:38,100
Look at that.
544
00:24:38,227 --> 00:24:40,978
Look at the beveled edge.
545
00:24:41,105 --> 00:24:42,897
There's the stave right there.
546
00:24:44,233 --> 00:24:45,858
Craig:
What is it?
547
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:49,153
It's the top
or the bottom of a barrel.
548
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,280
What would a barrel
be doing down here?
549
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:52,615
I don't know.
550
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,287
-You think that's a keg?
-I think it is.
551
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:02,208
I thought it was a piece
of plywood initially, but...
552
00:25:02,335 --> 00:25:03,751
There was a stave
coming right up with it.
553
00:25:03,878 --> 00:25:07,087
So that's the side of the barrel
widening towards
554
00:25:07,215 --> 00:25:09,381
-the barreled-out center.
-Rick: Oh, yeah. Look at that.
555
00:25:09,509 --> 00:25:11,634
Marty:
Definitely the end
of a little barrel.
556
00:25:11,761 --> 00:25:14,178
Doug:
This is really interesting
because that's a component
557
00:25:14,305 --> 00:25:16,430
of the original
treasure cache story.
558
00:25:16,557 --> 00:25:19,642
The guy grabbed the top
of a keg as he ran.
559
00:25:22,772 --> 00:25:25,814
Narrator: In 1861,
560
00:25:25,942 --> 00:25:28,526
treasure hunters constructed what came to be known
561
00:25:28,653 --> 00:25:33,656
as "shaft six," located 18 fet east of the original money pi.
562
00:25:33,783 --> 00:25:36,784
At a depth of 118 feet,
563
00:25:36,911 --> 00:25:39,411
they began constructing a lateral tunnel
564
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:41,580
toward the treasure shaft-- in an attempt
565
00:25:41,707 --> 00:25:43,916
to reach the believed vault from underneath it--
566
00:25:44,043 --> 00:25:45,417
while trying to avoid hitting
567
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:47,461
the booby-trapped flood tunnels.
568
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:49,922
It didn't work.
569
00:25:50,049 --> 00:25:52,049
Just two feet shy of their target,
570
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:55,761
the tunnel was suddenlybreached by a rush of seawater,
571
00:25:55,888 --> 00:25:58,681
nearly drowning the workers inside.
572
00:25:58,808 --> 00:26:01,517
But after narrowly escaping with his life,
573
00:26:01,644 --> 00:26:04,603
one of the men did manage to recover an unusual object
574
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:07,314
in the surge of water and debris:
575
00:26:07,441 --> 00:26:10,734
A piece of what appeared to be a wooden keg barrel.
576
00:26:10,861 --> 00:26:13,028
Terry:
Look at that tapered edge.
577
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:14,822
Can you imagine they were doing
that without machining and...?
578
00:26:14,949 --> 00:26:16,740
Doug:
That's cool.
579
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:18,701
Marty: When the collapse occurred,
580
00:26:18,828 --> 00:26:20,786
somebody emerged with the circular end of a barrel.
581
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:24,123
And then, lo and behold,
we come up with a rounded piece.
582
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:26,041
You know, men were down there.
583
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:29,253
This is a handcrafted item, so
men were down at those depths.
584
00:26:29,380 --> 00:26:32,006
Is it related to searchers
or original depositional work?
585
00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:33,549
We don't know yet.
586
00:26:33,676 --> 00:26:35,634
Yeah, people mistakenly think
587
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:39,013
that all spanish treasure was
in chests. It wasn't.
588
00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:42,182
-Most of it was in kegs.
-All right.
589
00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:44,852
We keep track of that.
We don't want to lose that.
590
00:26:50,401 --> 00:26:51,734
Alex:
You hear where we're at?
591
00:26:51,861 --> 00:26:56,071
Probably about 147 or so.
592
00:26:56,198 --> 00:26:58,324
Alex:
Yeah. Starting now, within
the next couple of scoops,
593
00:26:58,451 --> 00:26:59,950
-we should start hitting it.
-Craig: Yeah.
594
00:27:00,077 --> 00:27:01,827
It could be any
of these hammer-grabs.
595
00:27:08,919 --> 00:27:11,003
-Is that a...?
-That's wood.
596
00:27:14,258 --> 00:27:16,258
Craig:
Not sure what that means.
597
00:27:16,385 --> 00:27:17,593
What are we looking at?
598
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,345
Well, we brought up this beam.
599
00:27:19,472 --> 00:27:24,016
It definitely is cut by man,
axe cuts on the sides.
600
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:25,809
Not milled.
601
00:27:25,936 --> 00:27:29,188
-Yeah. That's hand-hewn.
-Yeah.
602
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:31,023
Marty: Some of those pieces
603
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:33,942
that came out were what I call "half-logs."
604
00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:37,279
where they're flat on two sides, but not on others.
605
00:27:37,406 --> 00:27:39,907
And they were hand-hewn, so,
606
00:27:40,034 --> 00:27:41,909
I don't know
of any searcher work done,
607
00:27:42,036 --> 00:27:44,578
specifically done here.
No shafts anyway.
608
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:47,956
I agree, and there's no tunnels
that we're aware of.
609
00:27:48,084 --> 00:27:50,042
Alex:
What could it be?
610
00:27:50,169 --> 00:27:51,919
Craig:
Well, unless
there's another tunnel
611
00:27:52,046 --> 00:27:54,296
that we don't have
any historical records of,
612
00:27:54,423 --> 00:27:56,590
then-then...
613
00:27:56,717 --> 00:27:58,801
Then it has to go way back
to the original people.
614
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,431
So if there's a treasure,
it's down another two feet.
615
00:28:04,558 --> 00:28:05,683
Alex:
Yup.
616
00:28:05,810 --> 00:28:07,434
Well, we'll find out right here.
617
00:28:12,775 --> 00:28:14,817
Gary:
It'd just be nice to pull
618
00:28:14,944 --> 00:28:17,152
a big silver doubloon out.
619
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,238
It'd be fantastic.
620
00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:30,791
It's not showing me a lot
of love.
621
00:28:32,878 --> 00:28:34,920
Wow.
622
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,714
That's weird. You're through
that wood that fast,
623
00:28:36,841 --> 00:28:38,757
-and then nothing.
-Yup.
624
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:45,347
Marty:
That doesn't look promising.
625
00:28:48,477 --> 00:28:50,561
Gary:
That's crazy.
626
00:28:50,688 --> 00:28:52,646
Not even a squeak.
627
00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:55,691
Marty:
But I don't understand
628
00:28:55,818 --> 00:28:57,317
what that wood represents then.
629
00:28:57,445 --> 00:28:58,861
I mean, what,
somebody just buried
630
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:00,696
a big piece of wood real deep?
631
00:29:00,823 --> 00:29:04,032
Wh-whoever did it, it is
undocumented. You're right.
632
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,868
Marty: Looks like we're striking out so far, alex.
633
00:29:05,995 --> 00:29:07,202
Alex: Yup.
634
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:08,912
Craig:
Gentlemen,
635
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:11,874
-what's the word?
-The casing is at 158.
636
00:29:12,001 --> 00:29:15,669
Our shaft is, uh, 158.6.
637
00:29:15,796 --> 00:29:18,505
Terry:
You're gonna hit
the bedrock plateau.
638
00:29:18,632 --> 00:29:21,300
Craig:
Yeah, let's just take one more,
and unless...
639
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:23,969
Unless we see something good,
we'll call it quits.
640
00:29:24,096 --> 00:29:25,304
One more grab,
and then we'll check it out?
641
00:29:25,431 --> 00:29:26,513
-Yup.
-Okay.
642
00:29:27,641 --> 00:29:29,892
Rick:
Wow.
643
00:29:30,019 --> 00:29:33,145
Not much of anything
in that one.
644
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:35,898
Narrator: Despite finding compelling evidence earlier in the day,
645
00:29:36,025 --> 00:29:40,027
borehole oc-1 is no longer producing the kind of evidence
646
00:29:40,154 --> 00:29:42,988
or artifacts the team thought they'd be seeing by now.
647
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:46,283
No. Nothing in there.
That's it.
648
00:29:46,410 --> 00:29:47,951
-Let's call it?
-It's up to you.
649
00:29:48,078 --> 00:29:49,411
Yeah. No. I'm good.
650
00:29:49,538 --> 00:29:51,079
-We gave it a good shot.
-Yeah.
651
00:29:53,834 --> 00:29:55,709
Narrator: The laginas and their partners
652
00:29:55,836 --> 00:29:58,253
will now have to rethink their current strategy,
653
00:29:58,380 --> 00:30:00,172
as it is entirely possible
654
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:02,049
that both the chappell vault
655
00:30:02,176 --> 00:30:04,176
and the contents of the original money pit
656
00:30:04,303 --> 00:30:07,304
may have shifted over time.
657
00:30:07,431 --> 00:30:10,474
Marty: It looked like we might be on top of the money pit,
658
00:30:10,601 --> 00:30:12,100
and then everything went quiet.
659
00:30:12,228 --> 00:30:14,269
Just because
we find the original money pit
660
00:30:14,396 --> 00:30:16,104
doesn't necessarily mean
661
00:30:16,232 --> 00:30:18,816
that whatever was once there
is still there.
662
00:30:18,943 --> 00:30:21,944
It could be... Elsewhere.
663
00:30:22,071 --> 00:30:23,779
Shadows are getting long.
664
00:30:23,906 --> 00:30:25,113
We're done with this hole.
665
00:30:25,241 --> 00:30:27,241
Andiamo.
666
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:30,244
Rick: I think we need to take a step back
667
00:30:30,371 --> 00:30:34,581
and-and look at the data, puzzle these things out,
668
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:37,334
try to put some puzzle pieces
together because,
669
00:30:37,461 --> 00:30:40,295
unfortunately, we're not as fr at putting that puzzle togethr
670
00:30:40,422 --> 00:30:42,256
as I would like to be.
671
00:30:51,433 --> 00:30:53,267
Rick: Well, here we are.
672
00:30:53,394 --> 00:30:55,477
Narrator: The next day, as the team reassesses
673
00:30:55,604 --> 00:30:57,980
their search operation at the money pit,
674
00:30:58,107 --> 00:31:01,817
rick lagina, oak island historian doug crowell
675
00:31:01,944 --> 00:31:03,777
and dave blankenship arrive at
676
00:31:03,904 --> 00:31:06,113
the former home of dave's late father--
677
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,949
veteran oak island treasure hunter dan blankenship.
678
00:31:10,828 --> 00:31:12,369
There, they are also joined
679
00:31:12,496 --> 00:31:14,580
by dave's sister, linda flowers,
680
00:31:14,707 --> 00:31:16,248
who is now the owner of the house.
681
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,541
-Hey, dave. Hey, rick.
-How you doing?
-Hey.
682
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:19,042
-Hi. Hi. How are you?
-Yeah.
683
00:31:19,169 --> 00:31:20,335
You know rick,
and this is doug crowell.
684
00:31:20,462 --> 00:31:21,879
-Yeah. Hey.
-Hi, linda.
685
00:31:22,006 --> 00:31:23,797
-This is my sister, doug.
-Yeah.
686
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:25,340
-Nice, linda.
-Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
687
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:27,050
-Good to see you again, rick.
-Good to see you.
688
00:31:27,177 --> 00:31:29,136
Yeah. You all wanted
to look at dad's papers.
689
00:31:29,263 --> 00:31:30,804
-Yeah.
-Let's go around
the side of the house here.
690
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:32,514
The office is open there.
691
00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:34,683
That'd be perfect.
Ladies first.
692
00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:37,311
Narrator: Dave and linda have invited rick and doug
693
00:31:37,438 --> 00:31:39,104
to search through their father's
694
00:31:39,231 --> 00:31:41,732
vast collection of research, which dan amassed
695
00:31:41,859 --> 00:31:45,235
over 50 years of living and searching on the island.
696
00:31:45,362 --> 00:31:47,988
Dan's archives also include the records
697
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:50,741
of previous oak island treasure hunters,
698
00:31:50,868 --> 00:31:52,618
such as m.R. Chappell,
699
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:55,996
erwin hamilton and gilbert hedden.
700
00:31:56,123 --> 00:31:58,874
This is probably the first time,
I believe,
701
00:31:59,001 --> 00:32:02,127
-since-since he passed that...
-That you've been in his office?
702
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:03,712
-Yes.
-Oh.
703
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:05,797
Well, welcome. Welcome.
704
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:07,633
Thank you.
705
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,677
I don't think there's a day that goes by
706
00:32:10,804 --> 00:32:13,055
that each of us doesn't think
of mr. Blankenship.
707
00:32:13,182 --> 00:32:15,140
Personally, professionally,
708
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:19,102
the loss has affected us in-in a variety of ways.
709
00:32:19,229 --> 00:32:21,271
It's a... It's as I remember.
710
00:32:21,398 --> 00:32:22,522
Linda:
Getting cleaned up some.
711
00:32:22,650 --> 00:32:24,483
Dad did a lot of maps.
712
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:26,318
A lot paperwork. Drawers full,
713
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:27,694
cabinets full.
714
00:32:27,821 --> 00:32:30,113
Somewhere within this
715
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,199
is that one little clue
716
00:32:32,326 --> 00:32:33,533
-that will help us.
-Linda: That's all you need.
717
00:32:33,661 --> 00:32:34,743
That's all you need.
718
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:36,244
Linda:
Take your time
719
00:32:36,372 --> 00:32:38,538
-and, uh, enjoy.
-Thank you. Thank you, linda.
720
00:32:38,666 --> 00:32:40,499
Really appreciate it.
721
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:44,211
Narrator: It is rick lagina's hope
722
00:32:44,338 --> 00:32:46,004
that by examining dan's records,
723
00:32:46,131 --> 00:32:47,798
the team will be able to pinpoint
724
00:32:47,925 --> 00:32:49,716
a more accurate location
725
00:32:49,843 --> 00:32:52,177
for their next drilling operation at the money pit.
726
00:32:52,304 --> 00:32:53,845
Do you want to start with maps,
727
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:55,555
or do you want to start
with paperwork?
728
00:32:55,683 --> 00:32:57,849
Rick:
There's hidden gems everywhere,
so I think
729
00:32:57,977 --> 00:33:00,018
-we just grab a box
and go through it.
-Okay.
730
00:33:01,271 --> 00:33:03,063
Rick: It's a bit overwhelming
731
00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:06,358
to walk into dan's office without dan being there.
732
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,318
And it's also a bit overwhelming
733
00:33:08,445 --> 00:33:11,071
in terms of the enormity
of the material
734
00:33:11,198 --> 00:33:13,532
that dan had accumulated
over a lifetime.
735
00:33:13,659 --> 00:33:15,283
Doug:
Wow.
736
00:33:15,411 --> 00:33:16,868
Rick: But to see information
737
00:33:16,996 --> 00:33:19,162
that we've not seen before,
738
00:33:19,289 --> 00:33:20,831
it's incredibly interesting.
739
00:33:20,958 --> 00:33:23,208
And we're gonna try
740
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:25,419
to focus on the material
that might be highly relevant
741
00:33:25,546 --> 00:33:27,087
to the search
as it moves forward.
742
00:33:27,214 --> 00:33:29,756
Oh, this is interesting.
743
00:33:29,883 --> 00:33:32,259
-An unbound copy of a map.
-Rick: Oh, really?
744
00:33:32,386 --> 00:33:34,428
I've never seen this before,
rick. Anywhere.
745
00:33:36,306 --> 00:33:37,973
Dave: Now we're cooking.
746
00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:44,479
Narrator: One day
747
00:33:44,606 --> 00:33:46,231
after being given access
748
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,608
to the personal archive of dan blankenship...
749
00:33:48,736 --> 00:33:50,736
-Charles: Hey, rick.
-Hey, everybody.
750
00:33:50,863 --> 00:33:52,487
...Rick lagina, along with members
751
00:33:52,614 --> 00:33:54,698
of the team, meet in the research center
752
00:33:54,825 --> 00:33:56,450
to choose where to conduct
753
00:33:56,577 --> 00:33:59,953
the next large-scale excavation in the money pit area.
754
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,040
With only a few weeks left until they must halt
755
00:34:03,167 --> 00:34:05,083
all major operations on the island
756
00:34:05,210 --> 00:34:07,127
before the onset of winter,
757
00:34:07,254 --> 00:34:10,047
every day now represents a critical opportunity
758
00:34:10,174 --> 00:34:12,799
to make a major discovery.
759
00:34:12,926 --> 00:34:16,511
You know, we all know that we're
running tight up against
760
00:34:16,638 --> 00:34:19,014
the, uh, drilling
in the money pit.
761
00:34:19,141 --> 00:34:22,809
And so, before we leave
this building today,
762
00:34:22,936 --> 00:34:25,604
we have to pick
a caisson location.
763
00:34:25,731 --> 00:34:26,980
Steve g.:
We've got a lot of data
764
00:34:27,107 --> 00:34:29,232
that keeps on pointing us
in a-a similar area,
765
00:34:29,359 --> 00:34:30,609
but that area
isn't tight enough.
766
00:34:30,736 --> 00:34:32,736
We need to tighten that circle.
767
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:35,989
Doug:
I have something
that might help.
768
00:34:36,116 --> 00:34:37,783
Come up here
and take a look at these, guys.
769
00:34:43,332 --> 00:34:46,083
When you and I and dave
went over and talked to linda
770
00:34:46,210 --> 00:34:48,043
and they let us see dan's files,
771
00:34:48,170 --> 00:34:50,504
we found a really interesting
piece of information.
772
00:34:50,631 --> 00:34:52,881
This is from hamilton,
773
00:34:53,008 --> 00:34:54,925
and it shows
774
00:34:55,052 --> 00:34:56,468
the tunnels he explored.
775
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:59,221
I think you're gonna be
really interested in it.
776
00:34:59,348 --> 00:35:02,057
Narrator: In 1938,
777
00:35:02,184 --> 00:35:04,851
erwin hamilton, a professor of engineering
778
00:35:04,978 --> 00:35:07,938
at new york university, formed a partnership
779
00:35:08,065 --> 00:35:09,689
with oak island treasure hunters
780
00:35:09,817 --> 00:35:12,025
gilbert hedden and frederick blair
781
00:35:12,152 --> 00:35:14,945
to locate the original money pit.
782
00:35:15,072 --> 00:35:17,155
For the next five years,
783
00:35:17,282 --> 00:35:20,242
hamilton and his men devoted much of their time
784
00:35:20,369 --> 00:35:22,369
to reexcavating and exploring
785
00:35:22,496 --> 00:35:24,996
more than 20 previously constructed shafts
786
00:35:25,124 --> 00:35:26,957
and tunnels from search expeditions
787
00:35:27,084 --> 00:35:29,084
dating back to 1850.
788
00:35:29,211 --> 00:35:32,587
Although he and his partners were ultimately unsuccessful
789
00:35:32,714 --> 00:35:34,131
in finding the treasure,
790
00:35:34,258 --> 00:35:36,508
they meticulously documented
791
00:35:36,635 --> 00:35:39,594
each of these shafts onto a survey grid.
792
00:35:39,721 --> 00:35:42,139
He's got the 118-foot shaft
793
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:43,932
sitting back here
behind chappell
794
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:46,893
with a tunnel seemingly pointing
into this area.
795
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:48,186
This being six?
796
00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:50,272
Yes.
797
00:35:50,399 --> 00:35:53,233
Shaft six is probably the most talked about shaft
798
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,818
besides the money pit
799
00:35:54,945 --> 00:35:57,737
because the collapse was supposed to have filled it up,
800
00:35:57,865 --> 00:35:59,739
and it's the possible debris field
801
00:35:59,867 --> 00:36:01,241
of the treasure chamber.
802
00:36:01,368 --> 00:36:02,951
If we can find that,
803
00:36:03,078 --> 00:36:05,745
it'll help us triangulate where
the original money pit was.
804
00:36:07,791 --> 00:36:10,041
The answers are there.
805
00:36:10,169 --> 00:36:11,793
Just wait and see what comes up.
806
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:12,961
Narrator: One year ago,
807
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:14,921
rick, marty and the team
808
00:36:15,048 --> 00:36:18,258
drilled a 50-inch-wide exploratory shaft
809
00:36:18,385 --> 00:36:20,427
in an attempt to penetrate the wood-cribbed tunnel
810
00:36:20,554 --> 00:36:23,305
that extends off of the 1861 searcher shaft
811
00:36:23,432 --> 00:36:25,557
known as shaft six.
812
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,643
Because this tunnel was only 18 feet
813
00:36:28,770 --> 00:36:30,395
from the original money pit,
814
00:36:30,522 --> 00:36:32,731
it was rick, marty and craig's hope
815
00:36:32,858 --> 00:36:35,025
that they could intercept it
816
00:36:35,152 --> 00:36:36,693
and then trace it back to the fabled treasure vault's
817
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:38,945
general location.
818
00:36:39,072 --> 00:36:40,071
We're almost certainly
in the tunnel.
819
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,949
I would bet everything on it.
820
00:36:43,076 --> 00:36:44,492
Narrator:They had good reason to believe
821
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:46,328
that they had hit their target
822
00:36:46,455 --> 00:36:48,622
after making a number of compelling discoveries,
823
00:36:48,749 --> 00:36:51,625
including possible leather bookbinding,
824
00:36:51,752 --> 00:36:54,502
18th century pottery
825
00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:56,504
and a hand-cut oak timber...
826
00:36:56,632 --> 00:36:57,631
Rick:
That's oak.
827
00:36:57,758 --> 00:36:59,090
-There's no question about that.
-Yeah.
828
00:36:59,218 --> 00:37:01,051
...Similar to those reportedly used
829
00:37:01,178 --> 00:37:02,260
to build the platforms
830
00:37:02,387 --> 00:37:05,096
found in the original money pit.
831
00:37:05,224 --> 00:37:07,807
However, the team was left to conclude
832
00:37:07,935 --> 00:37:10,602
that they most likely missed the shaft six tunnel
833
00:37:10,729 --> 00:37:13,897
since no evidence of treasure was recovered.
834
00:37:14,024 --> 00:37:17,317
When linda, dan's daughter,
835
00:37:17,444 --> 00:37:20,153
provided us access
to dan's archives,
836
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,906
uh, the hope was always
that there would be
837
00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:24,449
some sort of information
down there
838
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:27,410
that might assist us
in locating the cans.
839
00:37:27,537 --> 00:37:28,745
Our best guess at the money pit
840
00:37:28,872 --> 00:37:30,789
is pushing us in the area
841
00:37:30,916 --> 00:37:32,499
-where this is pointing to.
-Rick: Well,
842
00:37:32,626 --> 00:37:35,126
it turns out doug was able to find the map,
843
00:37:35,254 --> 00:37:37,003
which will be of immense help
844
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,130
in terms of locating
845
00:37:39,258 --> 00:37:41,174
not only shaft six but the tunnel
846
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:42,509
associated with it
847
00:37:42,636 --> 00:37:44,970
and thus find
the original money pit location.
848
00:37:45,097 --> 00:37:48,515
Doug:
This one's to scale,
so it did give us
849
00:37:48,642 --> 00:37:50,100
actual dimensions on it.
850
00:37:50,227 --> 00:37:52,519
-So that, you could plot.
-Yep.
851
00:37:52,646 --> 00:37:54,646
Doug:
And come up
852
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:57,649
with a spot
for this version of six.
853
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,818
Well, I think we all recognize
854
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:02,112
that we need the best "x"
on the ground that we can.
855
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,530
Let's grid this out.
856
00:38:03,657 --> 00:38:05,699
Let's ground-truth it
as best we can,
857
00:38:05,826 --> 00:38:08,326
and it becomes
a caisson location.
858
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,578
This is probably
our best gamble right now.
859
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:11,997
Find six.
860
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,917
All right. Let's go.
861
00:38:24,386 --> 00:38:25,927
-We ready?
-Yeah. Yeah, we're ready.
862
00:38:26,054 --> 00:38:27,304
Here we go.
863
00:38:27,431 --> 00:38:28,972
Narrator: It is the start
864
00:38:29,099 --> 00:38:31,725
of another hope-filled day on oak island
865
00:38:31,852 --> 00:38:34,644
as rick lagina and other members of the team
866
00:38:34,771 --> 00:38:37,022
gather at the money pit area
867
00:38:37,149 --> 00:38:39,316
with representatives from irving equipment limited
868
00:38:39,443 --> 00:38:41,359
and roc equipment.
869
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:44,362
Armed witha nearly 80-year-old survey map
870
00:38:44,489 --> 00:38:46,656
made by professor erwin hamilton,
871
00:38:46,783 --> 00:38:48,283
they have chosen a new drill site
872
00:38:48,410 --> 00:38:50,410
known simply as 8-a...
873
00:38:50,537 --> 00:38:52,370
Coming down, jared.
874
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:54,664
...Located some 20 feet southwest
875
00:38:54,791 --> 00:38:57,167
of borehole oc-1.
876
00:39:01,423 --> 00:39:04,174
Rick:
What's your hope?
How many feet per day?
877
00:39:04,301 --> 00:39:06,176
Vanessa:
I do expect to probably have
878
00:39:06,303 --> 00:39:08,094
the can down 30, 40 feet today.
879
00:39:08,221 --> 00:39:10,513
Maybe not excavated out,
but the can down.
880
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,641
So, where do you think we should
really take a hard look?
881
00:39:13,769 --> 00:39:15,185
Where should we start?
882
00:39:15,312 --> 00:39:18,605
Between 90 and 100 feet.
Just really slow down.
883
00:39:18,732 --> 00:39:22,067
Yeah. You got to get
real serious at that level.
884
00:39:22,194 --> 00:39:23,193
Okay.
885
00:39:24,363 --> 00:39:26,196
Rick: I think we've done
886
00:39:26,323 --> 00:39:28,406
all the homework that we had to do.
887
00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:31,117
We accessed all
of dan's archival information.
888
00:39:31,244 --> 00:39:33,620
My hope is that something will come of it,
889
00:39:33,747 --> 00:39:37,040
because without his assistance, I think we would
890
00:39:37,167 --> 00:39:39,125
literally be at square one.
891
00:39:39,252 --> 00:39:41,753
Charles:
You know,
when you think about it,
892
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,963
the last time
that-that they actually knew
893
00:39:44,091 --> 00:39:46,716
where the money pit was
was in 1867.
894
00:39:46,843 --> 00:39:48,927
And since then,
up until this point,
895
00:39:49,054 --> 00:39:51,554
it's been everybody's idea
where it is.
896
00:39:51,681 --> 00:39:54,432
But the pieces are starting
to fit together, right?
897
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:56,559
I mean, I can't be
more confident that we're
898
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:58,144
right where
we're supposed to be.
899
00:40:00,357 --> 00:40:01,940
Feels pretty good taking part
900
00:40:02,067 --> 00:40:04,275
in one of the largest
smash-and-grabs
901
00:40:04,403 --> 00:40:06,277
-in the world.
-(laughs)
902
00:40:06,405 --> 00:40:08,488
I just feel lucky.
903
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:11,366
I-I think we're gonna find
something really cool.
904
00:40:11,493 --> 00:40:13,159
I hope so, gary.
905
00:40:13,286 --> 00:40:15,870
Too many people have labored
too long and too hard
906
00:40:15,997 --> 00:40:18,832
for this not to be real.
907
00:40:18,959 --> 00:40:22,460
We need something
to validate all that blood,
908
00:40:22,587 --> 00:40:24,504
all that sweat, all those tears.
909
00:40:24,631 --> 00:40:26,756
This, hopefully, will prove
910
00:40:26,883 --> 00:40:30,969
that all of that
was not unwarranted.
911
00:40:32,180 --> 00:40:34,139
The early treasure seekers
912
00:40:34,266 --> 00:40:36,766
were singularly focused on treasure,
913
00:40:36,893 --> 00:40:38,143
but everyone
who came after them,
914
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:40,103
I think there was a component
915
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:43,148
of trying to understand
what happened here.
916
00:40:43,275 --> 00:40:46,151
We're trying to unravel histoy
917
00:40:46,278 --> 00:40:49,112
every bit as much as trying to recover
918
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,865
a supposed long-lost fabled treasure.
919
00:40:51,992 --> 00:40:54,909
Hopefully, we'll get some answers.
920
00:40:55,036 --> 00:40:57,203
I would like
for all of us to know
921
00:40:57,330 --> 00:41:01,332
that we labored to an end
that we all believed in.
922
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:04,836
Narrator: For rick, marty and the oak island team,
923
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:06,713
a frustrating setback at the money pit
924
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,715
has led to what could be
925
00:41:08,842 --> 00:41:12,218
their greatest opportunity yet in their hopes of finding
926
00:41:12,345 --> 00:41:15,221
the mysterious oak island treasure.
927
00:41:15,348 --> 00:41:18,349
But if their efforts are successful,
928
00:41:18,477 --> 00:41:20,602
will they find that the closer
929
00:41:20,729 --> 00:41:22,770
they get to revealing oak island's secrets,
930
00:41:22,898 --> 00:41:24,856
the closer they are
931
00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:27,984
to putting themselves in the path
932
00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:30,987
of its deadly curse?
933
00:41:31,114 --> 00:41:33,990
Next time on the curse of oak island...
934
00:41:34,117 --> 00:41:35,950
Gary:
What the heck is that?
935
00:41:36,077 --> 00:41:39,579
Same size as the cribbing spikes
that we found in smith's cove.
936
00:41:39,706 --> 00:41:42,790
-These were placed
as booby traps.
-Wow.
937
00:41:42,918 --> 00:41:45,293
-Vanessa: We're cutting through something. -Gary: Wow.
938
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:47,587
-Doug: Oh, look at the wood.
-Marty: There you go.
939
00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:50,590
-Gary: Wow,
look at the size of that.
-Yeah!
940
00:41:50,717 --> 00:41:52,133
Gary:
This piece is hand-hewn,
as well. Look.
941
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:53,885
This should be the money tunnel.
942
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:55,053
Steve g.:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look at this.
943
00:41:55,180 --> 00:41:57,639
This could be a hinge
to a chest.
944
00:41:57,766 --> 00:41:58,723
That's freaking awesome!
945
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:00,934
