Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.

There's a structure in the swamp.

Fred said it's somewhere between here and down there.

Let's find it.

What do you make of that right there? Wow.

Look at this.

Oh, yeah.

We did find something. I'm convinced it's a wreck.

Well, look at all the targets and go ahead and dive on. There's a triangle on

top of a triangle.

Where was it pointed? It's actually pointing to the stone triangle on the

island.

there is an island in the north atlantic where people have been looking for an

incredible treasure for more than two hundred years so far they have found

bits of gold chain a stone slab with strange symbols carved into it even a

seventeenth-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.

Into the war room we go.

I thought the war room was in... This is the original war room. While the Oak

Island team continues their search for a qualified diver to help them get to the

bottom of Borehole 10X, Marty Lagina, his son Alex, and his business partner

Craig Tester have invited Sidescan sonar experts Mike Roberts and Dave Delaney to

join them for an important meeting at Marty and Craig's offices in Traverse

City, Michigan.

They had interest in diving around Oak Island, so I thought we'd see what

they're thinking about doing and showing us, and then we can see if we can

incorporate it together. I don't see why we can't. So it'd be great to see what

you got.

Yeah, well, we'll show you in a nutshell here, Craig.

In addition to being commercial divers, Mike Roberts and Dave Delaney have more

than 50 years of combined experience.

in the use of advanced underwater visualization technology.

Have you guys ever run sub-bottom profilers? Oh, yeah, we run sub-bottom

profilers all around.

Okay. What would a sub-bottom profiler show you?

Well, it's designed to show you anything below the surface of the bottom, you

know, down to what depends on the bottom makeup.

Actually, the one we ran was probably showing us 10, 15 feet down.

Sub-bottom profilers.

send sound pulses that not only bounce off of the ocean floor, but also

penetrate the layers of sediment below, creating a three-dimensional model of

natural features while also identifying possible man-made objects.

A few years ago, this is where we did our diving here, and it's only around 50

-some feet.

We were down scanning it, and we did find something on the bottom.

I'm convinced it's a wreck of something. Now, what it is, I don't know.

A wreck off the coast of Oak Island?

Is it possible that the Oak Island treasure may not be located on the

island after all, but just offshore?

After we found it, like Oak Island typically does to you, we skipped a

year, then we went back the next year, no record of it, couldn't find it.

Maybe because it got silted over. But I know it's there.

Silk changes on the bottom all the time. And what I'm hoping is that because of

the winter we had down there with the winds and everything and rough seas,

maybe it's cleared off the bottom a little bit. That would be worth finding.

It is well known that the waters of Mahone Bay, where Oak Island is located,

were once part of the trade route between Europe and the New World in the

16th and 17th centuries.

It was also here during the height of piracy.

that merchant ships and the valuable cargo they carried fell victim to attack

and plunder.

Could finding evidence of a shipwreck in these waters offer a connection to the

stories about buried treasure being on Oak Island?

Mike and I teamed up and we're hoping to go back there again this year and locate

it. So what are you doing different this time? Well, we've got a higher

resolution sonar, side scan sonar.

We are trying to figuratively leave no stone unturned out here.

The fact that the island, how it looks today, is not how it looked 100 years

ago, 200 years ago, 300 years ago. The shoreline has changed markedly.

We want to make sure we do everything we legally can to search the seafloor, too.

And so these guys have state-of-the-art side-scan sonar, and they're divers,

too.

So we're going to try and gather that data and see where it might lead us.

Okay, let's do it. Let's work together. Let's figure this out. I look forward to

it.

We'll see you in Nova Scotia. Yes.

Back on Oak Island, Rick Lagina and island historian Charles Barkhouse have

begun the team's second joint drilling operation with island resident... Fred

Nolan. What do we got? Oh, these are the first cores.

That is very cool.

Last week, shortly after forging a cooperative agreement with Fred, which

ended more than four decades of a bitter rivalry between the 87-year-old treasure

hunter and Dan Blankenship.

Time to quit the book.

Yeah, well, that's what it was, a lot of it. Yep.

Rick, Marty, and their partners explored a site on Fred's property.

where based on his detailed surveys, Fred believed a man-made tunnel or

chamber lies buried beneath several feet of hard slate.

What's that right there?

Although the search for the mysterious void ended unsuccessfully, the team did

uncover something of potentially great significance, a large wooden stake.

Very strange.

Look how that is cut.

I mean, look how nicely shaped it is.

That's definitely man-made.

Today, Rick has hired Logan Drilling from Stuiak, Nova Scotia, to drill at a

second spot on Fred's property, just north of the mysterious triangle-shaped

swamp where Fred believes an even greater discovery could be made.

The next hole has a curious history.

It's what Fred has come to call the old well.

He had done some survey work in the swamp.

Once they got out of the swamp, they were probing.

When they hit a hollow sound, they cleared the material away.

There's about an inch, inch and a half, two inches of slate covering this

depression. It's actually a well, a rocked-up well.

Adding intrigue to their search is the fact that the land they are on once

belonged to Anthony Graves.

a mysterious mid-19th century landowner who was known to pay his debts with

ancient Spanish silver coins.

This is number one.

It was at 22.9.

It transitions to a slate clay, and then at 28.9, she turns over into slate.

And we're in the slate all the way now.

These are the breaks in the cores over here.

Using a three-inch coring bit, Drillers Harold Frazier and Jason Pike will be

taking samples every six feet as they carefully search for evidence of the

ancient well.

I'd like the next core to come up and have nothing in it. That'd be what we

want. If there really is a room, a void, a tunnel, that's exactly what we're

looking for.

Void in the slate.

Here's your core coming.

So we're at 52-4 right there.

Okay.

There it is.

Beautiful stuff when it goes through the slate, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Aesthetically, it's pretty, but pretty is not what we're looking for. No.

Harold, no voids yet, eh? No voids, no.

Well. I don't know when I hit one.

If I go through a void, I'll see it in the drill string and plus the gauges,

right? Right.

Unlike the eastern portion of Oak Island.

which is comprised of bedrock made of naturally porous anhydrite the western

portion where the team is exploring today is made up of hard finely layered

slate a substance not known to have occurrences of natural voids beneath it

it's not full no

huh you want we

might have

You might have what? You might have a mystery on our hands. Okay.

Because I thought that broke our bottom.

Does that mean we've got a void?

Oh, it could be.

Okay. See, that doesn't even match there, right?

Right, right.

What's the possible significance of that? What does that tell you? It almost

tells me that there's a void or something.

Guys, that there should match up with that. Right. And it doesn't. It don't

seem to, no.

Has the Oak Island team really discovered an underground void on Fred

Nolan's property?

A void just below a layer of hard slate?

So you've got a five-foot void.

Well, it definitely looks that way.

I pulled the tube.

There was nothing in it. All I had was two or three inches in it. I thought it

would have had five feet.

106. 106.6.

Well, say 106 to 111. So that was that one, and then you pulled this one. Yeah.

So you've got a five-foot boy.

Well, that's the way it looks right now.

While searching for an ancient well just north of the swamp on Fred Nolan's

property,

Rick Lagina may have just made an important discovery.

Here we are.

We're at 106 feet, and then no core out of the hole.

and then a small piece at 111.

Add it up. It's five feet of void.

Oh, here's Fred.

We got some news for you, Fred. Come on here.

I hope it's good news.

Well.

We need some good news.

Yes, we do.

Harold thinks he hit a void between 106 and 111.

Five feet. Yeah, five foot void. This was the corner that came out after the

void. It's this one.

So it went from that to nothing for five feet and then this.

Five feet. Five feet. That's like that.

Yep. Yep.

Wow.

It was like he took an elixir of youth in that moment. He was animated.

He was reaching down, looking at the core.

He repeated several times, five feet, five feet of void. That's incredible.

That's incredible.

I tell you, we need a break, don't we? We need a break. Yeah.

Here we go.

If this turns into something, the breakthrough on Oak Island that everyone

has long sought and long desired, you know, it's a pretty wonderful day.

Although sharing the news of a possible breakthrough with Fred Nolan brings Rick

Lagina great satisfaction, there is another person he is eager to tell, his

brother Marty.

Hello? How you doing out there?

Got something strange happen here at 1066.

It was seen that we have a five-foot void.

Really? Yeah, I mean, I asked Harold. His word is it's very unusual.

Been drilling for 30 years.

You know, it would have been nice if there were some kind of human artifact

came up there, but, you know, there was nothing.

But look, it's curious. I mean, that's what we were looking for, voiding the

slate.

Although it will take further investigation to confirm whether or not

the team has located a man-made tunnel or cavern, one thing is for sure.

Rick, Marty, and the team's agreement with Fred Nolan is starting to yield

results.

Okay, no gold, but surely interesting.

You did great. Hey, I can't help but observe that things seem to go better

when I'm not there.

Why don't you get back to work and I will too. I'll get out there when I can.

All right, see ya.

After receiving evidence that Fred Nolan's information could very well lead

to even more exciting discoveries jack begley along with marty lagina's son

alex and charles barkhouse traveled 48 miles north of oak island to the benford

institute of oceanography in halifax we got in contact with dr bob corton

and he's an oceanographer.

He's going to go over a sea bottom map.

It supposedly shows artifacts on it that Mr. Nolan was talking about.

It'd be good to get his opinion on it.

I think so, too.

Hi, welcome to the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. Charles.

Bob Courtney. Alex. Nice to meet you, Bob. Alex. I'm Jack. Jack.

Pleasure to have you here. Oh, thanks very much. And we're going to go down to

the library and take a look at the materials. Great. Appreciate it. Okay.

Lead the way.

Dr. Courtney is an expert in recording and studying bathymetrics, the

topography of underwater surfaces.

Alex, Charles, and Jack have come here to follow up on information about the

mysterious triangle-shaped swamp that was shared by Fred Nolan during a recent

meeting in the War Room.

Is there a point of interest in the swamp?

Oh, yeah, there's a lot of interesting points, but they're hard to get to. If

there's anything we understand about the swamp, we do understand that.

Yeah.

You had made mention that at the point at which you had tried to drain the

swamp, that you had seen these timbers, a timbered wall.

Yeah.

Where exactly did you see that?

On the beach itself.

It's back there where you're going to find the entrance.

They appear to be sawn timbers about that square.

One was on top of the other, and it went down for 12 feet. Did you not expose any

of it? Just on the top to see that they were square.

How wide did you think it was?

It looked to be about 12 feet.

A timbered wall between the swamp and the beach?

Could this be the irrefutable proof the team has been looking for?

that the swamp is in fact man-made i believe this thing is there and

and it's findable and if it's findable we core it we date it it has to be

original works that information is invaluable you had mentioned the other

day about your belief about the south shore you mentioned that the shoreline

was much different than it currently is yeah you don't get a picture of oak

island

See, presently, the island's like that.

The island used to be out here like this.

Now it's all water. See, this was all dug out. And the floodgate is out here,

which floods the swamp.

What they did was they ripped it all out and created the beach on the back of the

swamp. And there are two berms that run from there over towards Mahone

Bay.

So you're saying that the whole South Shore was out 300 feet and they they

tore it up and just dumped land In lines, you know away from where the

island was.

Yeah So what you see here is a map of the bathymetry or the

seabed off Oak Island the bathymetric or underwater topographical map that

Dr. Courtney is showing Alex, Jack and Charles not only shows variations in the

depth of the seabed, it also reveals several curious shapes and anomalies on

the ocean floor surrounding Oak Island.

In the offshore you'll see this colored map and it's color-coded so the red

tones are the shallow water.

and the bluer tones are deeper water but there's some features here that we don't

know when these features were created we don't know who did it but we can

recognize certain features that would in our experience tell us they're not

natural for example you'll see ridges running perpendicular to the coast and

typically if it was a natural process they'd be parallel to the coast sort of

a shoreline feature but these would probably have a man-made origin

That's what we'd be interested in. Yeah, yeah. Those are the ones that Fred

Nolman was talking about.

There are other features of interest.

That thing? This feature here, that would be typically a shipwreck.

At the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Alex Lagina,

Jack Begley, and Charles Barkhouse have just received information.

from dr bob courtney that there could be important evidence located just off the

southern shore of oak island this feature here that would be typically a

shipwreck wow really that's interesting that one i didn't see that one yeah

there is supposed to be a shipwreck 2 000 feet off the south cove well that

would probably be a good place yeah there are also some very curious arcuate

-type features that we see in the basin sediments, the softer sediment offshore.

And they're quite long. They're, you know, 600 meters long.

And we believe these are real.

We don't know the origin of those as well. Could they be from an anchor?

Could be a mooring field, would be my guess.

A mooring field?

Could the area Dr.

Courtney is referring to be the actual place where ships laid anchor?

while a valuable treasure was being buried on Oak Island.

These two things here.

They sort of look like dredge spoils to me. It's like a skull.

It does look like a skull.

It does look like a skull, yeah. It does kind of look like a skull, yeah. That's

a warning, obviously.

There's a theory that there's mounds of spoils in that.

soil was probably excavated from the tunnels, taken out and dumped into the

ocean, and that there's supposed to be two large mounds in this area.

Well, this kind of looks like a dredge spoil to me.

Typically, we see those things in environments where there's a big slide

down a mountain, but there's no mountains here. No.

It looks like somebody had been dumping something, but you'd have to go... Is

that possible it could have been a dumping site?

Possibly, very possibly, yes.

We met with Fred Nolan.

His idea was that this was all land at one time, and it was actually dredged

out or cleaned out by the original depositors to create this dike or berm

for the swamp.

Well, it was certainly land 12,000 years ago. Yes, right.

But was it land 300 years ago?

400 or 500, yeah.

That's another question. If you look at the depth chart here, it's at something

like... Five meters water depth.

And in the past, sea level was lower, probably a meter or two lower, 300 years

ago or 400 years ago.

So probably this shoreline was out somewhat.

With corroborative evidence that several man-made features lie in the waters

surrounding Oak Island, Alex, Charles, and Jack are convinced that they are on

the verge of another important breakthrough.

in the 220-year-old mystery.

Well, great. I mean, that's great. It's really interesting stuff. So thank you

very much for showing us and walking us through it. Thank you very much.

Pleasure to meet you.

Pleasure meeting you. And you as well. Very nice meeting you.

Take care. Thank you.

Okay, you lads, all good?

Yep. Yep. Aye-aye, Captain.

Excited by the information they learned at the Oceanographic Institute, Alex and

Jack have returned to Oak Island, eager to verify what they learned from Dr.

Courtney.

Joining them are Jack's stepfather, Craig Tester, divers Mike Roberts and

Dave Delaney, local diver Tony Sampson, and marine archaeologist Rod Peterson.

Craig, what are we looking for first?

Smith's Cove for sure, and then this side of the swamp. We'll just hit it as

we're going across there. With the high tide, I just want to get as close to the

island as we can.

Okay, Dave, we're at 18 feet of water.

If you want to drop the fish. Okay, sounds good.

Today we're going to start exploring the waters around Oak Island. We're going to

use a starfish. It's a side...

scan sonar, and basically what it's doing is taking an image of the bottom

of the ocean.

We're looking for rocks, we're looking for logs, we're looking for holes in the

ground, anything we can see.

That's coming in now.

Okay, both sides?

Yeah, yeah.

The Starfish 990F side scan sonar device will be towed off the back of the boat.

Using sound waves, it will be able to detect and obtain high-resolution images

of any objects or formations on the ocean floor within an approximate range

of 210 feet.

You getting a good image, Mike?

We got a big dead band. It's like she's off the bottom quite a bit. Can we slow

her down any to let the fish drop?

Yeah. You're 3.4, Dave. Is there any way you can get two?

In order to allow the sonar unit to scan deeper below the surface, Tony Sampson

needs to slow down to two knots, or a little more than two miles per hour.

I'm bringing you down now. 2.8.

2.4. How's that looking?

Better. Much better.

2.1.

How's it looking?

Got an amazing image.

Amazing image. Yeah, it's beautiful.

I think I could take a look.

Getting some awesome images.

We're coming up on the boulderless beach now, guys.

Okay.

One of the most curious features on the north side of the island is a stretch of

beach that, unlike almost every foot of coastline, has no large rocks or

boulders.

It has long been speculated by Dan Blankenship that the so-called

boulderless beach might be man-made.

But if so...

For what purpose?

Could it be to conceal another series of box drains, like the ones at Smith's

Cove?

That's probably a log or something, too.

A lot of boulders in the water here, see?

See this?

This is really interesting. See the way we're seeing these lines like? Yeah.

What do you think that's from?

I mean, if you said, what does a boat look like underwater, it looks like

that.

I mean, if you said, what does a boat look like underwater, it looks like

that.

Just off the northern shore of Oak Island, Jack Begley, Craig Tester, and

Alex Lagina, along with marine archaeologist Rod Peterson and a team of

professional divers, continue looking for clues on the seabed.

Look at this. See that? Oh, yeah.

It's flat on the back, and then that looks just like a bug to me.

during the two hundred and twenty year old search for treasure on oak island

there are many who believe that the answer to the mystery lies not

underground but under water in seventeen ninety one during the height of the

bloody french revolution king louis the sixteenth of france and his wife marie

antoinette attempted to flee paris before they were imprisoned and executed

of the many stories concerning their plight there is one that suggests that

the queen gathered up her jewels and other valuables and sent them off ahead

in the care of her closest handmaiden the handmaiden is said to have first

taken the jewels to london and later across the atlantic to nova scotia

is it possible that the ship that was carrying the jewels never

made it to land could it have been sunk along with the jewels, just

offshore.

Did you see the image of symmetrical sides, round and stern?

Well, look at all the targets, see which ones are best, and go ahead and dive on

them.

As Craig and the team continue their search for clues by heading to the

southern shore of the island, Rick Lagina, along with Dave

Blankenship, and veteran treasure hunter Dan Henske arrive at the southern border

of the swamp in an attempt to verify another of Fred Nolan's incredible

findings. We're here. It's not as bad as I expected, no.

They are looking to uncover the wood-timbered wall that Fred claimed he

located after he partially drained the swamp back in 1969.

Long ago, when he had a partial drought on the swamp, he probed the wall of the

swamp. And he is saying that there's a structure in that wall.

Fred said, between here and that clump of birch trees down there is

where he thinks it is. So we'll dig from the wetland area and dig,

I think, since he's saying it's somewhere close to the road.

We'll dig from there, maybe a foot or two into the road, and we should be able

to find it.

Although Rick has a 40-ton excavator at his disposal, he must abide by several

very strict environmental regulations.

Great to see you again. Welcome to Oak Island. Yeah. He also has a permit,

which only allows him to dig down approximately six feet and requires that

he stay no less than nine feet from the wetlands.

in order to ensure that the swamp is not breached.

This structure is about 10 or 12 feet long.

My idea is we go every five feet. You should hit it within this distance here.

It's supposed to be right there. Let's find it. Okay.

Given the fact that the team has several hundred feet to cover, rick knows it may

take a number of tries before he finds what he is looking for you hold up a

minute i just want to see what that is

no idea

this is uh i don't believe hardwood

it's definitely not what we're looking for in any way shape or form not on this

one what's that

After digging the six feet of soil that his permit allows, Rick must stop.

So if we can move up to... I'm thinking right here.

Yes.

Hopefully, moving up the road a few yards will produce better results.

My brother's always on about show me the data, show me the proof. He's a hard

science guy. So today, maybe there really is hard data, hard proof.

He's on about he wants to be done with the swamp, but...

I think there's something there, and if this is the door that gets us back in

there, I'm happy he's not.

Oh, well.

Faster than a shovel, Rick.

David. What? In this space, you don't see anything?

Nothing there, rock.

I think the next spot will be right there.

Okay.

Something right there.

Wait!

Shut it off a minute.

Look at that right there.

It looks like some kind of a log or something.

Shut it off a minute.

While excavating in the area near the shoreline adjacent to the Oak Island

Swamp, Rick Lagina may be on the threshold of an important discovery.

uh that's manufactured manufactured wood found buried between the beach and the

swamp could this be part of the ancient timber dam treasure hunter fred nolan

claims to have found more than 40 years ago i think it's pressure treated lumber

because these gouges yeah if it is it's not old no it's not old curious that

it's at that depth but this is a modern piece yeah Okay, next one I think will

go on the other side of that large pine tree.

Okay, dope.

Unfortunately, the piece of wood is clearly a modern piece of timber.

But Rick Lagina refuses to give up.

What do you make of that right there?

See it right there?

It's a piece of stump, Rick.

Okay, so in my opinion, we're 0 for 5.

Island wins again.

Not yet.

I say we do one on the other side of those birch trees.

You in?

I'm in. I'm here.

I say one more. Don't let me leave anyway.

No, I won't.

I hate to do this to you, Wayne, but I hate giving up.

Oh, that's right.

How about we try on the other side of the birch trees?

Yep. Unfortunately, it's 0 for 5, so I'm hoping you can make it 1 for 5.

Well, keep my fingers crossed.

I'll keep all my fingers crossed.

Yeah, all right. See ya.

Even though we've been miserable all day, I'll settle for this last one being

the right one.

Pretend it's baseball. It's never over until it's over.

There's something right there.

Wow.

Definitely not a timber.

It's a split log.

Three stumps.

More wood than I've seen so far.

After digging a half-dozen holes along the southern edge of the swamp, Rick,

Dave, and Dan have found no evidence of the ancient timbered wall Fred Nolan

claims he saw some 30 years ago.

Could it be that the wall lies just a few feet deeper than Rick was legally

allowed to dig?

Well, I was hopeful.

I thought this was really a legitimate shot, given the fact that he said he

probed it, he said he saw it, he could define the size of it, the length of it,

how tall it was.

I mean, given all of that information, I thought we would be successful. I did.

So am I disappointed?

Yeah, I'm disappointed.

Rick remains undaunted and determined to return.

once he is armed with the permits that will allow him to properly excavate the

area.

I'm thoroughly, 100% committed to finding that thing. I can't for the life

of me think it's not there.

It's there.

We have to do what Fred said, how he found it, and that was he was in the

swamp. So we have to get wet.

If it's there, we're going to find it.

Okay, Wayne, we gave her our best shot. That's right. Thank you again.

Appreciate it. Okay. All right. Take care.

Let's go home. It's brown time.

Get out of here.

Disappointed, but there's tomorrow.

As Rick Lagina suspends his operations at the Oak Island Swamp, Craig, Jack,

Alex, and their team are still hoping they will have a breakthrough by

searching in the waters off the island's southern shore.

That's good depth there, Dave.

A couple of good boulders there.

Let's increase the range a little bit.

What's that?

That's probably a log or something.

Look at that. Yeah, I was wondering what that was.

That's interesting.

Look at the triangle. See the triangle?

Wow. See it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So what we're looking at is, see this triangular shaped stone?

And on top of the stone is a perfect triangle.

I don't think Mother Nature made that.

Wow.

I don't know what to say. I mean, it... You ever see anything like that? No.

I'm looking where it is.

It's almost too much of a coincidence.

And it was pointing pretty much straight at where the stone triangle used to be.

A triangle-shaped stone with a second triangle shape on its surface and

pointing to where another triangle of stones used to lie?

Before it was destroyed during a massive excavation of the island by treasure

hunter Robert Dunfield in 1966,

the so-called stone triangle was thought to be a key piece of evidence because it

pointed on a true north line directly to the original money pit.

Could this mysterious triangle-shaped stone, submerged in the waters several

hundred feet off of Oak Island's south shore, be another man-made marker?

If so, how did it get there?

Coming out of the water, we're finished here.

It just made no sense to be natural. Now we got

to get exact coordinates to find out for sure, but it sure looked like it was

pointing right towards the money pit.

Okay, guys, I think we got quite a bit done today.

We got a number of hits.

Yeah, we found some pretty exciting stuff today. And you can go from the

image and you get the coordinates on it, the latitude and longitudes, right?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, let's do that.

I'd love to get the pictures, show them to Marty and Rick, Dan, David, all the

other guys.

Yeah, pretty exciting.

Cool.

Just be the place. Yep, upstairs.

After you.

After a long day of recording valuable data and side scan sonar images in the

waters just off Oak Island.

Hey guys.

Gentlemen. Marty Lagina joins his brother Rick, their partner Craig

Tester, and other members of the team at a nearby pub to share the day's

findings. So guys, I was thinking we'd share the good news with my dad here,

which is that the technology we got to do the side scan works really, really

well. really no glitches we've got some pretty exciting stuff for you you do and

you know how i am you know i'm usually not super enthusiastic about these

things because i always think oh well there's a reasonable explanation you're

the cold water thrower i am generally but uh i think we got something pretty

seriously some really interesting stuff yeah i do i do this is one interesting

thing that we found before you show me i mean you've seen a lot of stuff under

the water right i mean where is this in the scale of wow what's that it's pretty

interesting i've not seen it before all right especially where we are okay tell

explain it to me though what am i looking at we're running the side scan

along the island and what we've got here is what appears to be on the bottom a

stone triangle

With a triangle on top.

And it's all symmetrical.

It's a triangle, but what's the dark mean? What does the dark mean on top?

There's another triangle on top of a triangle.

Really? That's significant.

Rick, what do you think of this?

You described it as a triangular, like what Dan says, pointer rock.

Yeah. Where was it pointed?

It's actually pointing to the stone triangle on the island.

Seriously? Seriously.

You see, it's definitely a triangle within a triangle sort of thing, isn't

it? Yeah, it sure is.

I'm always skeptical of whatever we see, and so when I saw that at first, I

thought, oh, it's an equipment glitch, it's something, and I just cannot come

up with an explanation for why that is so perfectly triangular.

Well, that is very odd. I mean, that is very odd. I was sort of prepared, Alex.

You know, we keep hearing, oh, we've got to see this. I was prepared to think,

yeah, sure, guys, it's a rock.

Well, that's the thing, is that I didn't think, you know, I tried to think that,

and I couldn't think that.

No, it's very odd.

And they did come across something that looked extremely anomalous to my...

and i will say untrained eye because i haven't looked at a lot of sidescan

sonar but what they showed was a triangular shaped rock which is not that

odd but then it has a perfect inscribed triangle on the top of it well now now

you got something odd you know that's a horse of a different color so and it was

a very divable depth is it possible alex or craig that it was

at one time exposed, or is that too deep? I think it's too deep. It seems

like it's a little too deep. What about erosion?

Yeah, erosion, that's a big factor, especially on the south side. That's

where most of the erosion occurred.

So even though the water level might have only been five feet lower, you

know, erosion will have eaten it away over time. So it could have been out

further, yeah. That was at high tide.

Yeah. All right.

We got to have a look at that. Yes.

We need to do further exploration.

You want to dive it? I'd like to have a look at that. You want to dive it? Yeah,

I want to dive it. I do too.

Want to do a jump tomorrow? Sure.

What's the visibility?

We're looking at the moment from what we were getting today. If we do it at high

tide, you'll probably have 10, maybe 15 feet if you're lucky.

Oh, jeez. If it's all by itself, then maybe it'd be easier to see.

So we're going to have to be right on it.

Could Rick, Marty, and the rest of the team be less than 24 hours away from

locating a critical new piece of evidence?

A piece that could help them finally solve the Oak Island mystery?

All right, guys, look, I'm used to being disappointed in Oak Island, but we're

going to put eyes on that tomorrow, and we're not going to be disappointed. To

that, to the dive.

Cheers.

As another day ends on Oak Island, several questions remain.

and several harsh realities appear certain.

Because although Rick, Marty, and the team are better equipped and better

prepared than any of the searchers that came before them, there is still much

work to do, many riddles to solve, and many more holes to dig.

And whether or not their efforts end in success or failure is up to the island

to decide.

Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.

Christopher Columbus was responsible for the Ark coming to Oak Island.

I went down. I got to the bottom. I saw the stone. I swam that northerly bearing

and I came across another big triangle rock.

You got me up? You good?

Okay, let's go.

Two dives away from getting answers to a 40-year quest.

He's under.

Finish 10x. What's in the bottom? Michael, do you copy?

Can you hear me?
