It is another year on Oak Island.

One that marks a significant milestone for brothers Rick and Marty Lagina and

members of their team.

Because after 50 years of dreaming... There we are.

...and a decade of researching, planning, and processing information, it

is now, finally, the time to dig. That's a nice machine right there. Ooh, baby.

But where and how deep are just two of the questions they will be facing?

Let's try it. Give one of them a pull there and away you go.

Because hundreds of others have come before them and all have failed or died

trying. There's been generation after generation involved in this search and

now it's come to us.

I'm looking at all that equipment. I have to admit, it's exciting to think

you're digging on Oak Island.

How can it not be exciting? If you can't get excited, leave.

You're hoping, you're anticipating.

I can dig from right here. I'm set, I'm ready to go.

And then as that first shovelful proceeds, you want there to be something

when that bucket tips.

There is an island in the North Atlantic where people have been looking for an

incredible treasure for more than 200 years.

So far, they have found bits of gold chain, a stone slab with strange symbols

carved into it, even a 17th century Spanish coin.

To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.

And, according to legend, One more will have to die before the treasure

can be found

Okay, big brother. Well, we're coming into Western Shore and true to form, we

have nasty, nasty weather. Focus on the positive. Positive is we're back. We're

back. We're back.

It's an interesting year.

It's 50 years since we read the article. Is it? Is it 50 years ago? 50 years.

Hard to believe.

It was 50 years ago in 1965.

that an article detailing the legend of the Oak Island money pit appeared in the

January issue of Reader's Digest.

It was this simple five-page article that inflamed the imagination of an 11

-year-old boy named Rick Lagina, who, along with his younger brother, Marty,

was growing up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

It was also this same article that caught the attention of a Florida-based

contractor named Dan Blankenship.

Blankenship soon after moved to Oak Island with his wife and has spent the

past 50 years of his life obsessed with finding a treasure here.

Well, I'm kind of intrigued with this 50-year stuff, that that means that this

is a special year. Look, you know, we're at the brink.

We've just got the most important data that Oak Island has seen in 50 years.

Yeah. And that's what's cool.

Coming down, watcher!

Last year...

Rick and Marty tried to send two divers down to the bottom of the 235-foot

treasure shaft known as 10X, only to hit a dead end.

Then, using scanning sonar, they mapped

an underground cavern that Dan Blankenship first discovered when he dug

10X more than 40 years ago.

They even gathered data that suggested that Dan's claims of seeing a vertical

post, man-made tools, and wooden chests

might very well be true.

Rick, you're always saying that this is the year.

So, what are you saying this year?

Huh? Saying it again. This is the year. We're about to see the island and the

game's afoot. The game is afoot.

We're almost there, Rick. Here's the causeway.

The overriding theme this year is to cross a few of the more substantive

possibilities off the list.

The swamp, the money pit, 10X.

It's time for us to get some answers.

Let's get to the bottom of 10X once and for all.

To get to the bottom of 10X, Marty and Rick.

have decided on a bold and potentially dangerous plan.

They will send a diver down 181 feet and then another 44 feet

through a narrow 27-inch hole to what their research has revealed could be a

large underground treasure chamber.

But first, they will have to clear decades of rusted pipes, including a

badly corroded riser pipe.

The pipe was originally put there in order to pump water and hopefully

precious artifacts out of the shaft But now it is a dangerous obstruction to

anyone attempting a dive To remove the

riser pipe the brothers will need to descend more than 40 feet down the

possibly unstable 8-foot wide portion of the hole Howdy

How's it going?

You're the one going to take care of us, right?

You're in good hands.

That's what I wanted to hear right there.

I've got a little trepidation.

Arm in there?

I'm in a suit. We're in a harness and I'm a human being going down there.

It's a death trap in there of pipes and ropes and ladders and rusty stuff.

There's a certain degree of danger to those things.

Here's the deal. You watch him, one point of contact, one point of

direction. Whatever he tells you to do, do.

And that's as simple as that. Okay. Let's go for a ride.

My brother and I started this together, and it's nice when we do things on site

together. And he wanted to go down, and I was grateful.

Absolute death trap.

For Marty.

This is his first experience inside the 235-foot-deep borehole.

Going down.

10X, here we go!

Although the first 181 feet was reinforced with both steel and concrete

to keep it from collapsing under the enormous pressure... This is freaky.

After 40 years of harsh weather and churning saltwater tides, the metal

casing has become rusted.

and could very well be unstable.

Boy, that hatch right there, ready to pop right out.

Hang on, I got to open this cord.

You got 10 feet!

We get down in the shaft, and we each had a different interpretation. He

looked at it kind of like a science guy studying the engineering of it. What is

that?

That's the plug it. And I was being a little bit of a dreamer, thinking, my

gosh, they built it on faith, believing there was something down below.

Going down.

Okay.

You keep an eye on the riser.

You don't want to sit on top of it.

How much more?

Perfect.

Well, I wouldn't like it if this thing let go.

We're strapped to it.

It'd kill us. We'd go down and drown.

Before cutting the rusted pipe, Rick and Marty must first secure it with rope.

that has been tied to the platform by Dave Blankenship at the surface.

This will ensure that the column of corroded steel doesn't fall down the

shaft and create an even bigger obstacle later on.

What are we going to get on to?

We can hook it down there in that gap.

Okay, but how are we going to get down there? Let me try.

I have to get out and climb in the water.

No, don't do that. Let's do this.

Perfect.

Rick's leaning over the basket, and ever since we've been kids, He's always been

more of a risk taker than I am. Truth is, I didn't even think about it.

There you go.

Now, what are you planning on doing outside that bucket?

Probably isn't the safest thing.

Well, then don't do it.

Get back in the bucket, son.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Rick Lagina has just had a close call while working inside borehole 10X.

Hold on to my harness.

You got me in the ankle.

Removing the corroded riser pipe is more difficult and dangerous than either Rick

or Marty expected.

Even though it is eight feet wide, the 10X shaft is cramped.

And the possibility that the rusted metal casing could collapse is very

real. Okay, let's try it. All right, get back in here.

With the old rusted drill pipe securely tied to the platform, Rick and Marty

will cut off a large section obstructing the shaft.

This should allow future divers to be able to maneuver safely during their

narrow 235-foot descent down 10X.

I'm going to start. Cut!

Ready?

Yep. Right there.

Even though we had it

secured by the rope, I was concerned because that pipe was so rusty and junky

that when we cut it, it could completely fall apart.

Get loose.

You ready to come out now?

Yes, sir.

Coming up.

Success!

We won one.

Not really. We don't have that pipe. Watch your fingers. Now that the

potential obstruction has been cut, the team has the difficult task of figuring

out how to safely hoist hundreds of pounds of rusted steel out of 10X.

How are you going to hook on, David?

I'm going to hook it right here. If we can hold it, but we won't pull this

railing over.

And we can hook this into here.

Yeah, but then you're going to pull the railing off.

That ain't going to do.

Here was the problem. When we tied off at the surface, we realized that we had

to get the rope off in order to lift the pipe up. And to do that, we had to get

slack in it.

I can pull it up. You can?

Yeah. I can pull it up. You've got to wrap it.

Rick, do you have to go in there to do it? Yeah, you've got to have some...

Here, see how it won't burn.

You know what? If you fall in there, you're going to die.

Don't let them quit, David.

Every time we do things together... Every time we do something together,

it's blood.

Wait a sec. Why don't you cinch off over there?

Let's do this.

Got it? Yes, we got it.

Jeez.

Was it heavy? Yeah, it was heavy. But I just had enough to get them the slack so

they could hook onto the crane.

Okay, let her go.

Oh.

After a day of hard work and a few close calls, the Oak Island team, has finally

managed to remove one of the deteriorating riser pipes from 10x

lovely but the pipe

is just the first of many that will have to be extracted before rick and marty

will declare the 235 foot deep borehole safe enough for another attempted dive

hey big brother one small victory one very tiny victory but we won good way to

end the day anyway it is morning

on oak island a time when results are processed questions are

raised and new information is considered okay here we are today rick

marty and their partners have agreed to meet with father-son treasure hunters

Robert and Bob Leonard.

And they're going to give a presentation today. The pair have traveled all the

way from Texas to present an amazing theory about Oak Island. And what they

are convinced is not one treasure site, but several.

Guys? Take it away, guys.

Our company utilizes a technology that is based on satellite imagery.

that reads a certain wavelength of light.

And based on that, the technology will identify almost any kind of thing you're

looking for.

It's called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.

And it can go in and analyze and see things that we can't see with the human

eye. Similar to the type of technology that is used in medical facilities

during an MRI, nuclear magnetic resonance can detect subtle differences

in what are called the resonance frequencies emitted by various

substances when subjected to electromagnetic radiation according to

the leonards this technology when coupled with detailed satellite imagery

is similar to the type of ground penetrating technology currently being

used by the u.s military to locate underground weapon systems and secret

bunkers it can produce a map that enables them to virtually see beneath

the surface of the Earth and precisely identify objects at various depths.

All right, so here's the map.

Your lines are supposed to represent what? Tunnels.

Yeah, these are tunnels.

What's the green mean?

That means it's flooded with seawater. What's the blue mean?

Blue is not flooded.

We've got tunnels.

We've got old wood.

We don't care about the old wood.

That's right. Just get to the spendable. That's right. That's right.

We've got bronze.

We've got silver.

We've got gold.

We've got rubies, ivory, diamonds.

And one part of me says this is completely impossible.

On the other hand, what if they're right?

Absolutely.

According to this here, you have come up with the evidence of treasure in the

ground. Yes.

Rick, Marty, and their partners have just heard what is perhaps the most

incredible theory.

in the 220-year-old history of Oak Island.

You're saying that you can find objects within tunnels?

We can, through the magnetic resonance imaging.

Using a highly experimental and largely top-secret method, father and son

treasure hunters Robert and Bob Leonard have just presented data suggesting that

a web of underground tunnels, each leading to vast deposits of jewels and

precious metals, lies beneath the surface of the 140-acre island.

Look, I have a high degree of skepticism.

Okay, to some extent, you're presenting a black box technology. Yes, no doubt

about it. It's hard to explain. You are. It's hard to explain. You are. In the

oil business, I don't know how many times someone has showed up in our

office with what we call black box technology.

And by that, we mean we don't know what's inside the box.

We're not saying that...

just because you can't see in there doesn't mean it doesn't work i mean we

want to try everything you know that has a potential of working out here you know

what strikes me here is dan you have long believed how extensive the

tunneling complex a hell of a lot more than that if anyone has heard every

theory there is concerning oak island it's dan blackenship in 50 years he's

seen and done more than just about anyone to try and solve the mystery if

anything the leonards incredible theory only confirms what dan has long believed

that oak island lies atop a virtual maze of treasure tunnels you have punched

many holes in oak island trying to find tunnels put in over a hundred holes did

you find tunnels or voids under the ground of course that's good using an

ancient method known as dowsing whereby divining rods can indicate voids in the

ground, which could, in turn, contain water or even oil.

Dan has come to believe that various tunnels exist in multiple locations on

the island.

It was by dowsing that Dan was able to find the cavern at the bottom of 10X,

some 235 feet underground.

I mean, I find it curious that when Leonard showed us their map, there were

areas that were consistent with Dan's dowsing.

This is kind of the biggest void here. It's about 150,

160, 175 feet long and about 60 feet wide, so we figured that would be a

pretty easy target, and there is a gold signature in there. And what we're going

to do is try to prove it a couple of ways. We brought another metal detector,

and we also brought a resistivity machine.

And if these two technologies will paint the same picture, then we go from there.

I mean, I'm sure everybody on this side of the table wants to believe it.

Well, Dave, what do you think? I like it. I'm all about the spendables.

But do you believe in that type of tunnel layout?

I'm hoping, Rick.

I'm hoping. That's not the question.

It's the answer you get.

We're skeptical.

I mean, it's out there.

But prove it.

My guess is you guys are raring to go. Yes. Why don't we get them going, Jack?

Yeah, I'd love to go with them and check it out. Why don't you get Charles, too,

because he can direct you around the island better than anybody.

Go get us some data.

Data!

While Rick and Marty return to their work on 10X, Craig's stepson,

Jack Begley, and island historian Charles Barkhouse have joined father and

son treasure hunters Bob, and robert leonard at the center of the island near

the mysterious triangle-shaped swamp the leonards are planning to run field tests

in order to determine if their theory that a vast network of treasure tunnels

exists under oak island is true most exciting target is right up the road

over there it's showing a gold in there 108 feet deep using their satellite map

of the island the leonards have chosen to focus on a large target with gold

signatures located northwest of the oak island swamp how does this resistivity

work basically we're going to send electricity through the ground and if it

doesn't connect then it's hitting a void resistivity works by sending

electrical currents into the ground between two points or probes as the

currents flow they aren't down into the earth twice the distance between the

probe stems.

Any breaks in the current or resistivity would indicate a void, or in this case,

a tunnel.

The resistivity portion of their investigation is proven technology.

You can use resistivity to determine certain things in the ground.

Using a GPS system to locate the tunnel coordinates from the map, the Leonards

mark two points with two electric probes one positive and one negative right here

okay all right let's go plug it in okay

so turn it on so we'll be able to see on this little display here um

we'll do a manual scan so let's see what it says

all right that says ground

which means we're hitting all earth.

So no tunnel.

Let's look. That could be.

That pin's right there, so we missed it.

So what we need to do is move it over about 10 feet. So let's run over there,

and we'll go move that stake over.

So far, the electrical resistivity machine has revealed no evidence of the

underground tunnels that were indicated by the satellite data.

Could it mean another dead end?

Connect the pin.

let's go try it and if we don't get something on this line well i'm just

gonna pack my stuff up and go oh my god let's kick it back on and see what it

says all right okay scan line a

oh my god there it is nice nah

cave tunnel says it right there does it make any sense at all that there would

be a tunnel over here no and you know the history according to what dan's

belief his absolute

that there are tunnels all through this island. If you can get down there and

find it, it just confirms what he's been saying for 50 years. Yeah, yeah. So

let's pack this up. Okay. Keep going.

Yep.

Father and son treasure hunters, Robert and Bob Leonard, are convinced... They

have located a subterranean tunnel filled with gold near the middle of the

island. Come out here and we'll show you where the gold spot is.

Perhaps even more significant, it is located just where their earlier

research told them it should be, nearly half a mile from the money pit and 10X.

All right, guys.

X marks the spot.

This is it. That's where we drill? That's the gold signature. That's the

gold signature.

The remote survey shows this to be at 108 feet, and it may have as high as an

18-foot ceiling in it.

Oh, look, you guys, if there really is a cavity under here, it's a game changer.

But I tell you, I'm skeptical.

The only way to confirm it is to put rod down hole.

But if it is, it's 220 years of search, and this may be the culmination of it.

And our hope is that you are correct.

But we're ready when you guys are. I think I know two guys will be holding

their breath the whole time that bit's going down, right?

Could there really be a maze of treasure tunnels lying deep beneath Oak Island?

Unfortunately, proving the Leonard's incredible theory will be both difficult

and expensive.

Ready? it also could be several weeks before marty and rick will be able to

secure the type of drilling equipment needed to search for and hopefully find

evidence that a vast network of underground treasure tunnels actually

exists it's intoxicated somebody says on your property there's gold right here

drill right here and you think yeah why not why not drill a hole right here but

then We can't just drill a hole wherever somebody thinks it is, so we have to do

a little more diligence on this technology, and we intend to.

But following up on the Leonards' incredible theory is just one of the

many tasks that Marty and Rick will need to focus on.

As another day begins on Oak Island, the brothers focus their energies back to

10X.

It's about time you guys showed up. Morning, guys.

And the need to figure out how to get someone safely all the way down the

narrow 235-foot borehole.

Hey, guys, do we have another power cord we can... Got a 100-footer? We got lots

of them, yeah.

Today, Rick and Marty have invited underwater visualization experts Brian

Abbott and Nick Virchow to come back to the island.

and meet with them at 10X. Brian Abbott has had

more than 20 years experience managing sonar operations for archaeological

investigations, police force training, and even projects for the Department of

Homeland Security.

In 2010, he was part of an elite team that was the first to map the wreck of

the Titanic using sonar technology.

It was his data, collected last summer, that convinced the Oak Island team that

10X, in addition to the money pit, should be the focus of this year's

operations. It's about 14 inches, I think it is. It shows up on every

scheme. It could be wood.

If there's a great big column of wood, this is a man-made deal.

These are probably the lasers.

This year, in addition to conducting another more detailed sonar scan, the

team will be using the Spectrum 90 high-definition camera to photograph the

areas of 10X where Rick and Marty will still need to clear away pipes and other

dangerous debris.

Don, can you hold it up so that the ball can rotate?

Understood. With the ability to withstand depths of up to 1,000 feet,

the Spectrum 90...

can not only give a 360-degree view of the shaft, it can enlarge images up to

40 times their size.

It also features a highly advanced laser function, which will be able to give

precise measurements of any objects it might encounter.

This doesn't look like vegetation.

It looks like a chemical.

Could it still be part of the dye?

Why not? It could be the green dye still.

It's still in there.

Last summer, as part of a test to see if the underground chambers believed to be

at the bottom of 10X might connect to the money pit and out to the ocean, Rick

Lagina and Dave Blankenship poured non-toxic green dye down 10X.

Does anybody see any dye coming out?

It was a test that had been performed numerous times in the past with varying

results.

Sometimes the dye would seep into the ocean.

Sometimes it wouldn't.

We have a problem, Houston.

It's very green.

But now the remaining green dye presents yet another obstacle for the team.

Okay, keep going.

Okay, here we go.

visibility down the shaft is nearly zero.

Stop.

Okay, I'm at the junction now. We're directly over the 27-inch shaft.

There's a lot of stuff on the bottom. We've got plywood.

We've got steel.

There's rebar down there.

There's some chunks of concrete.

I'm really glad the divers didn't get down and get tangled in this.

We're centered on the hole, so we've got a clear shot right where we are.

Ready? Drop it down two feet, please, Rick.

Okay, keep going, please.

We should just about be at the top of the chamber.

You're clearing the shaft.

We are definitely out of the pipe and into the chamber.

I'm going to take it down until we see bottom.

Ah, there we are.

Okay, stop.

And what's that?

What is going on there?

Something close.

It's gold.

Those do appear to be gold. Oh my God.

That is weird. Gold pieces?

Those do appear to be gold. Oh, my God.

While running a high-definition camera at the bottom of borehole 10X,

underwater imaging expert Nick Birchall has just made what he thinks could be a

startling find.

Wait a minute. No, no, no, the other way. Are you telling me those are really

gold pieces?

Like flecks. They're naturally occurring, but you'd have to test them,

but they're gold in color.

Somebody says the magic word, the magic four-letter word, gold.

And, you know, initially, of course, the hairs on the back of your neck rise up,

and then you're a typical guy, and you get brought back down to Earth. No,

that's just a bright spot in the anhydrite. But it was interesting how

that word changes people.

I think that word has changed the dynamic of this whole place.

What's to the right there? Right there.

Almost looking like the column there.

That's the post.

Although the Spectrum 90 camera may not have revealed the presence of gold, it

is now capturing an image that might prove that what Dan Blankenship saw at

the bottom of 10X more than 40 years ago was not just an illusion.

There's been this mystery as to whether there's a post there, a big heavy timber

that runs from floor to ceiling to help shore up the roof, if you will, of a

tunnel.

And that's the conjectures, that that's exactly what that is. They didn't know

there. I'd say it was concrete.

Still not the best visibility there.

There's so much scatter from that green dye.

Green, it just throws your perception off.

We've got to get down there and look at it.

Well, are we calling it for today?

Yeah. Yeah.

All right, coming up.

Everything hinges upon something that says men were hundreds of feet below

ground doing something.

At surface.

Until you bring something up or put eyes on it, it's all conjecture.

A week has passed, and underwater imaging experts Brian Abbott and Nick

Bertschow have returned to Oak Island with what they promise will be the most

detailed information about 10X to date.

Okay. Amaze us. Okay.

So here we have some imagery from the bottom. That's the bottom of the shaft.

By now, it is obvious to the team that before another diver attempts to reach

the bottom of the 235-foot shaft, it will need to be carefully checked for

stability and cleared of all obstructions.

But what is still unknown is what, if anything, lies at the bottom.

One of the things we were looking at is the condition of the shaft itself.

This looks fairly structurally sound to me.

You did a great job building that years ago.

I know it.

He knows it.

We evacuated that. Would you go down in there? I'm eager.

I mean, I was wishing I could get down there when these fellows were here last

year. And I said, why don't you get down there and do some work?

We didn't make a lot of headway with the cameras.

Just poor visibility.

It's too green.

That being said, we went back. We did some really good sonar.

What we did a little bit different this year is that we used a different type of

sonar. We were able to get more data points, but also more imaging. We've got

10 times as much point data, so we can see curves and squares and rectangles a

lot easier. So here's our post.

Wow.

Wait, wait, don't you have two posts there now all of a sudden?

Yes, we were able to definitively find two posts that are here. We've got

better data on that.

The acoustic imaging data showed them to be square. They weren't circular.

And we measured them 14 inches.

So those targets are there.

There are very distinctly two posts or columns or something that the sonar

picked up, which is weird because there was only one the first time.

But now there are two.

And, you know, it was quite significant to me that the implication is that

they're wood. And he's, I think he's more than 50-50 that they're wood.

If those are wooden posts, that's it. There's our proof.

We did find something, I think it's kind of unique.

There's a structure down there. It sits right in this area right here.

It's roughly two and a half feet by two feet. It's got a nice curved top. You

think it's submerged at all in silt?

Yes. Now, I don't know how deep it's buried. It may be deeper in the

sediment, so it may be three feet high, but it's a nice box that's down there.

A man-made box. A man-made box.

What we think this box could be is a possible chest.

Wait, wait.

Percent confidence that that is a man-made chest?

90%. Really? Yeah. It's a man-made object.

Now, whether it's hollow inside or... And it couldn't have come down a 27-inch

because it's too big. It ain't coming down a 27-inch wall. And it's not going

back up?

A 27-inch one.

I was going to get to that. From what we can see, the only way that that could

have got into that chamber is through a tunnel.

90%. Yeah, 90%. I quote you. Go ahead. It's a great problem to have.

No, it's not.

It's maddeningly frustrating.

We can tell you about the outside of it, but we can't tell you what's in it. No,

no, I understand that. We're going to find out what's inside it.

Let's go back to this.

This one.

I don't know where to go with this one. This one's unique.

I've talked with Nick about this.

Part of my job is I train police and fire units on how to do evidence

recovery using sonars.

This is the same sonar.

So you're nodding your head looking at me. Where are you going with this,

Brian? You know where I'm going with this. You're saying that I'm looking at.

I'm saying this is a body laying across here.

Really? Yeah. There's an object down there that looks like human remains.

I'm saying this is a body laying across here. There's an object down there that

looks like human remains. Yeah.

A human body lying at the bottom of 10X?

Did you see a body when you were down there?

Definitely.

For decades, Dan Blankenship has claimed that he saw what he believed to be the

remains of a dead body lying at the bottom of 10X, some 235 feet

underground.

This videotape, recorded in 1971, does show a shadowy image that is

eerily consistent with the one revealed by the scanning sonar.

I believe this body is laying face down, and if you look, I believe this is an

elbow. That would be his left elbow.

Yeah.

Could a dead body really lie at the bottom of 10X?

If so, how did it get there?

And how has it remained so relatively intact after so long?

Well, wait a minute. You're saying there's a body in there. You're imaging

a body. He says there's a body. Where'd this body come from? We can't explain

what we're seeing. All we can tell you is that's what we're seeing.

Let me ask you something. This is really weird, and I want to ask you this.

Was his head on his body, or was his head kind of off on the side?

We cut off his head with the drill bar.

At least we think we did.

Okay.

We hit a lot of chain out there. We brought a lot of chain up. You brought

chain up? Did you really? So we figured the body was chained to that post.

And we broke the chain.

One of the many legends about Oak Island concerns a slave.

One of the hundreds.

that many believe were forced to dig the massive network of underground tunnels

and booby traps.

After trying to escape, the slave was allegedly chained to a post deep

underground and left there to die so that his ghost might guard the treasure

forever.

Could the discovery of a dead body on Oak Island mean that this centuries-old

legend is true?

Greg, what do you think?

With the data you brought up, I mean, you're sure indicating that man was down

there. Man is still down there.

So to me, you're just adding more evidence that we need to get down there.

And the big question for us is, how are we going to do it?

Safely. I agree.

Uncatastrophically.

Uncatastrophically. The bottom line is, Marty, you got a problem.

We wanted to exhaust the surface exploration first Do everything we could

from the surface to make those digs or that dive most safe and most productive

or there now It's time to dig Brothers Rick

and Marty Lagina along with their partners are Finally ready to commit

themselves to what promises to be the biggest and most expensive treasure

hunting operation in the history of oak island there will be setbacks

and danger but the rewards could be great if they can solve this

220 year old mystery but what exactly will they find

a priceless cache of pirate treasure precious religious artifacts

or

will they discover something more perhaps the proof that what lies buried

on oak island was never meant to be found at all

this season on the curse of oak

island to claim this spot we're digging on oak island at x marks the spot

isn't that a templar cross this cross is portuguese

What you're looking for is the Ark of the Covenant.

And Columbus brought it here. This was the work of the Aztec Empire.

Oh, Rick, I hate the idea you go down that hole. I'm willing to take the risk.

Oh, no, no!

Hey,

guys, you got to come see this. Holy... There's a wall here.

If you're going to find out what the hell's down there, you have to take a

chance.

Let's get geared up to go diving. Going down.

All right, give us something.

I found something, Rick.

Whoa. That is phenomenal.
