Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.

Is that a coin? That's a King George.

This is a treasure on the street.

1700s, that changes a lot. They're not supposed to be here. The people who did

this wanted it to be found.

Take it slow.

The world hasn't seen this.

Hey, what's that little shiny thing you're taking? Holy smokes.

That's amazing looking.

Here we go.

My hope as I'm watching is just show me one man-made object. What's that?

Wow, that's amazing.

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.

Well, let's have a look in C1 and then take a few grabs out of it.

and Marty Lagina and their partners.

The search for treasure on Oak Island has led them to a massive 40-inch-wide

steel-cased borehole, simply known as C1.

Good day, sir. Good day.

So Scott's lashed up there.

If you guys are ready to go, let's... Yeah, we are absolutely ready to go. All

right.

It was at this very spot where last year, island historian Charles

Barkhouse... advised the team to drill an exploratory borehole in an effort to

locate the site of the original money pit.

After reaching a depth of 171 feet, they encountered what appeared to be a

21-foot deep void in the bedrock below.

Still dropping. Huge cap.

Here we go.

But even more astonishing was what they saw after placing a pipe inspection

camera into the hole.

Now,

after drilling a hole that is wide enough and secure enough for a diver to

explore, they are inserting a high-resolution camera into the shaft in

an effort to see if they can locate the mysterious gold-colored object they

spotted last year.

I'm going to make a prediction that the water's... Like coffee. ...opaque.

Sploosh. We're in the water.

I don't know how many hours I've spent watching swirly things in water.

We're at 40 feet right now.

He's going quick.

Charles, is the shiny gold thing going to be there?

I hope for David that the shiny gold thing is there.

Wow, look at that. It's remarkably clear. I stand corrected on this one. I

thought it'd be nothing.

I never thought it'd be this clear.

You gave it a 90% chance of not seeing anything down there. Me too.

I believe I was at 100.

So is your casing at one? Slow, slow, slow.

You're right. We're in the cavity.

Oh, yeah.

Right down. What's that black thing?

Right there? Yeah. What was that black thing?

I don't know. I don't know.

Right over here? That black?

You need to rotate it around, Scott. Go up 90 degrees and then perpendicular or

horizontal and then rotate.

Okay. Well, we're close to the wall. It almost looks like... Yeah, it's a

cavity. It looks like it goes back further. Opens up that way. Yeah.

We saw an interesting anomalous feature in the wall of the cavity down C1.

Is it a tunnel? Is it an access point? It's somewhat of a guess.

Can you pan around, too, Scott? Yep.

Wait, that looks chipped out right there.

Can you zoom in on this?

That has a 90-degree angle to it.

there's no way that's wood because 90 degree angles are something rarely found

in nature it's possible that what rick marty and the team are looking at is

really a man-made feature but if so who carved it and for what

purpose every time we're looking undergrown on oak island it's intriguing

and interesting The problem is, you know, you come away with, well, what did

I really see? What does that really mean?

Where's our shiny gold thing?

Oh, wow. What is that?

What's that shiny thing right there?

Has the team actually located the same mysterious gold-colored object Rick and

Charles spotted last year?

Or perhaps another one?

Are you rotating up, Scott? Yeah, I just want to see anything.

Yeah, what do you think it looks like? Well, it's shining off the wall. There's

something sticking out from the wall, looks like, Craig, don't you think?

Yeah, I think it's just gypsum or anhydrite.

And the quartz is reflecting back the light? Yeah.

You know, I hate to say it.

I hope that wasn't Dave's gold shiny thing.

It was the shape rather than the color.

It had a curved shape to it.

The team's inability to find further evidence of the shiny gold-colored

object they photographed last year is puzzling.

Could it be that by making the hole wider, the object has been dislodged and

now lies somewhere at the bottom of the cavity?

I'm going to go find the bottom.

Go on down.

How deep are we?

About four feet from the bottom.

176 right yeah

okay 177

i think is where we go into the black silt we're about i don't know a foot off

bottom looks like now let's come up so we know how much clear cavity we have

the sudden presence of a layer of heavy silt and black sludge has for now

prevented further examination

175, what? 175.

Okay, so we got seven feet of clear hole. There's a bunch of cavity below

there. We can't see anything.

The Oak Island team will have to resort to other options if they are ever to

find anything like a precious artifact or possibly evidence of treasure lying

within the void.

So with this, do you think he was still on a hammer grab? Yes, yes.

I can't think of anything we'd see here that would make me not want to hammer

grab in here.

What about a diver?

I think we need to get the true dimensions before we send a guy down

there. Yeah.

Maybe we should try sonar. I agree.

This island keeps tantalizing you, keeps giving you a little bit and then dashing

you on the rocks, so to speak.

I think we can come out.

Come on out, Scott.

All right.

Yeah, we were hoping we'd see something metallic.

gold would be great we had indications of it and we did not see it with the

camera but of course as always we're not done we're going to hammer grab until we

can't hammer grab anymore we're going to run sonar and then depending on the

results of the sonar we may put a diver down there we got the conduit if there's

anything worth doing we're going to have a look at it now let's go do our other

jobs okay yep

While Rick, Marty, and the team arranged to set up a hammer grab tool to further

explore the C1 shaft.

What is this area we're in now, Charles?

This would be Lot 24.

Oak Island historian Charles Barkhouse and metal detection expert Gary Drayton

searched for clues on Lot 24, near the western end of the island.

This was one of the nine four-acre lots.

that were once owned by the former American slave, Samuel Ball.

It's a little chippy iron signal.

Okay.

Born into slavery in South Carolina in 1765, Samuel

Ball won his freedom by agreeing to fight for the British during the

American Revolution.

But although he was reported to have lived on Oak Island as a simple cabbage

farmer, by the time of his death in 1846, he had become one of the

wealthiest men in the area.

He's always been the mystery man of Oak Island, and there are a lot of mystery

men, but he's always been at the top of the list.

And what's very intriguing is that for the monies that were paid for the lots

that he ended up owning on Oak Island, he could have bought...

hundreds of acres on the mainland.

Why did he choose to remain here?

Judge Desbreze's history of the county of Lunenburg, which does have a section

regarding Samuel Ball.

On a recent trip to the Genealogical Society in nearby Lunenburg, Charles

Barkhouse, along with journalist and author Randall Sullivan, discovered

important evidence that it might have been Samuel Ball and not Anthony Vaughn.

who is one of the three original discoverers of the Oak Island Money Pit.

In the first edition of this book, Samuel Ball, he's named as one of the

original finders of the Money Pit.

And in the subsequent editions, his name is removed and no explanation.

This is Money Pit, where your ancestors were standing, probably right in this

area, right here. Wow.

Last year, during a rare visit...

three of daniel mcginnis's direct descendants returned to oak island to

share an incredible story one that had never been publicly told before grandpa

daniel noticed the depression in the ground so he and his two friends started

digging now i've been told they found three treasure chests

really really

And what is in this box is one of the things that came from that chest, the

one that McGinnis took.

Wow.

Could Samuel Ball have used the money from one of the three reported treasure

chests to purchase additional acreage on Oak Island?

I believe the legend or the folklore is that Samuel Ball got kind of

unexpectedly wealthy.

He came here with nothing. We're pretty sure of that.

There are a lot of questions about Samuel Bolt.

Hopefully it's a coin.

It's not very deep reading. It's only six inches.

There we are. Get the weight of it now.

It's not a good sign when it's so shallow.

Was that right?

It's not a coin. No.

It's a button.

That's a fancy button.

Yeah, that's 1700s. Really?

They call them dandy buttons.

Dandy buttons. Yeah. As opposed to more of a common... Yeah.

Yeah, there is something in the center. It looks like a shield on there. They

call these... The small ones are normally referred to as cuff buttons,

and the larger ones are normally jacket coat buttons.

But cool fine.

Yeah, very cool fine. Hey, keep going.

I'll just get under here.

Yeah, another target here.

Another target there, okay.

Gary started getting these hits. I mean, he was pretty excited. And when Gary

gets excited, that's when everybody else should get excited.

Want me to check it? Yeah. The fact that there are a number of metal objects

being discovered on Lot 24 is an indication that the area was once the

site of much human activity.

But could this location... also yield other important information, perhaps

revealing just how Samuel Ball amassed his fortune.

Look at this, Charles, look.

I can see the round edge at the side of the root.

Is that a coin?

Yeah, it's a coin.

Yeah, I recognize that guy. You know who it is? That's King George II.

That's amazing.

So that would put this coin to the 1700s. Yeah.

This is a treasure on the stream.

King George II reigned over Great Britain from 1727 to 1760,

a period that predates the discovery of the money pit by nearly four decades.

Could this coin have once been part of the Oak Island treasure?

Or could it have been left here more than two centuries ago by someone who

came to the island looking for it?

Let's keep going.

It's another coin signal, Charles. Really? Yeah.

Right about here?

Yep.

Doesn't look very deep.

Oh, look.

What? Look.

You know what that is?

Is that lead?

This is a type of thing that would be carried by a British soldier, and he

would chop off an inch of it and put it in the lead mold for making the musket

balls. This is an ingot, a lead ingot for making musket balls.

Wow. Now we've got to start putting things together.

We've got a button, we've got coins, and this.

Maybe this is some kind of camp.

You know, the encampment part that you're talking about.

kind of fits into Fred Nolan's theory. He believed that this was a British

military operation in 1762 after the sacking of Havana.

In 1762, during the period known as the Seven Years' War, the British

Royal Navy invaded Havana, Cuba, in an effort to defeat the Spanish Armada.

After capturing the city, the British confiscated a vast hoard of treasure.

much of which had been looted by conquistadors centuries before.

The British then loaded their spoils and sailed to the port of Halifax, some 60

miles north of Oak Island.

But there are many theorists who believe that part of the treasure was

deliberately diverted south to Oak Island, where renegade naval officers

instructed a team of military engineers to hide the treasure ship.

Could Gary Drayton be finding evidence that this incredible theory is true?

That sounds better.

Not very deep either.

It's reading like four or five inches.

You see that on the top? What is that?

That? Yeah.

I know what it looks like to me.

Okay. Is that writing on it?

Is that like some kind of script writing?

You see here across here? Yeah, I see that, yeah.

What would you say that is, Gary? To me, it would look like it was off the stock

of like a musket.

Oh, okay.

You know, somebody's signature. This is somebody's name.

While searching for artifacts on Lot 24, the area once owned in the early 1800s

by Oak Island resident Samuel Ball, metal detection expert Gary Drayton,

along with Oak Island historian Charles Barkhouse, have just made a number of

incredible and potentially significant discoveries.

So we've got six coins, a fancy button, and you look at that rivet and the way

that's curved.

That could have been on the end of a pistol.

Based on your experience, are you willing to say that this could be a

camp? Yeah, some kind of encampment.

That's amazing.

An encampment?

Could Charles and Gary be looking at evidence that the stories about stolen

Spanish gold are true?

If so, could the treasure still be hidden somewhere on the island?

Hey, Marty? Yeah?

Over here.

What do you guys got?

Tell them what you think we found.

Lay it on me.

What do you got? Some good news. Some good news.

Roundness? Roundness.

Holy smokes. Look at these.

Wow.

All in one spot. See that guy there? Yeah. See? King George II.

Where's that date from?

Early 1700s. No kidding. These are all British coppers.

All in one spot? Yeah, we've got six of them in this circle. Small little radius

here.

And this? That has got script.

No, I think this is off the end of a pistol.

You see the writing on there? The script writing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That could be the person's name who owned the pistol.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All of these. Right here. Yeah, I just think there's so much stuff here.

I think this is an encampment or a camp.

Well, then we really could be on to something, right?

It's very exciting. We could be on some kind of encampment, and Gary feels it's

George II's head on there. So if it's George II, it predates the original

finding of the money pit. So even more exciting.

This is quite a haul.

Wow, Gary.

1700s, that changes a lot.

They're not supposed to be here.

Gary Drayton's findings on Lot 24.

have validated much that has long been speculated about samuel ball and his

connections to both the discovery of the money pit and the search for treasure on

oak island if anything it only serves to fuel interest in the possibility that

something of enormous value was buried here centuries ago something that

still may lie undiscovered and undisturbed several hundred feet deep

underground.

This would have been just everyday money.

Wow, Gary.

That's got a jingle to it.

Look at this guy. I know, it's a big purse. Where's the gold, man?

I'm talking about never satisfied, eh? Yeah, I know.

Well, you're only as good as you last find. Exactly.

Well. We'll give you credit.

Okay, let's take a break. It gets tiring digging all these King George coppers.

Yeah.

After a day full of new discoveries... Well, Randall, I want to thank you for

coming back.

Rick, Marty and their partners meet in the war room with investigative

journalist and author Randall Sullivan.

I know you've been out and about in the field of researching Oak Island and

we're very much interested in what you've been up to. Well, I've been

learning things I didn't know.

After spending the previous four weeks in Nova Scotia, he has all but completed

the research needed for a book that promises to shed new light on the Oak

Island mystery.

Somebody did some fantastic work here. It had to be for some fantastic reason.

That has inclined me to think it's more likely than not that the people who did

this wanted it to be found.

You're intimating that the depositors never intended to come back for it

themselves. It was meant to be found at some point in the future. Yes. That's

the theory I find most compelling. To motivate people to do it and then keep

it secret, I just think you'd have to have some higher purpose.

Honestly, I had to start back at the beginning, just based on the things I

heard. During a meeting in the war room, Rick, Marty, Craig, and members of the

team are getting a debriefing from investigative journalist and Oak Island

historian, Randall Sullivan.

But, you know, we're just like you. I mean, I'm making the best guess I can

based on what is there.

Do you have any early maps of Oak Island?

after spending several years conducting research in addition to spending the

past several weeks interviewing archivists and historians in and around

halifax nova scotia and this is a genealogy it is yeah he believes he has

finally been able to verify the identity of the very person who could have been

the architect of the entire oak island mystery the one theory that really has

connected with me is the whole thing involving Francis Bacon.

There is so much evidence that is connected to Francis Bacon that supports

the idea that I find myself pretty fascinated by it.

The whole story is mysterious, but he actually is the one that I think is the

most mysterious.

Sir Francis Bacon?

The 17th century British philosopher, scientist, and nobleman?

Of the many intriguing theories about Oak Island, those involving Francis

Bacon prove the most persistent and persuasive.

Some even suggest that Bacon was the secret author of the works of William

Shakespeare and hid the original handwritten manuscripts of Shakespeare's

plays on Oak Island for safekeeping.

I was very dismissive of the Bacon theory until I actually started doing

some research.

Why is everybody so enamored of this guy?

Well, if you ask a traditional academic, his greatest accomplishment was he

founded the scientific method. He was the father of empiricism, but he was

also a statesman, a philosopher.

But those who are the true Baconians, and especially the ones who followed him

in those days and now, because he was like a Christ-like figure, he was a

spiritual master who was teaching them all how you create.

Did he belong to any particular order?

He founded the Rosicrucians.

Although many questions remain about the elite secret society of intellectuals

known as the Rosicrucians, there are many who believe they had a strong

connection to the Knights Templar and that they came into possession of some

of the Templars' most sacred treasures, including the Ark of the Covenant, the

Holy Grail.

and the golden menorah that once stood in king solomon's temple is it possible

that sir francis bacon could have come to oak island to hide not only the

manuscripts of william shakespeare but also precious religious relics from the

holy land he was a member of the royal society as well was he not founded the

royals he was essentially the bedrock of the royal society When there was this

almost religious cult of devotion around him, but when I actually started looking

at what the facts were, I realized, man, there's just so much that seems like it

could be connected to Oak Island.

I just find it hard to believe that people go to this much effort to hide a

treasure of gold, that it had to be something more valuable than gold.

What's more valuable than gold?

It ain't a bunch of books.

Well, I think you could find people who would say that Shakespeare's manuscripts

are worth a hundred times per ounce what gold is. Nope.

I'll tell it to them then, for a hundred times per ounce.

I'll tell it to them. If you actually have Shakespeare's manuscripts, I would

find the gold and give you their weight in them.

Okay, a deal has been struck.

Yeah, ten times.

Bacon's seminal work was New Atlantis, which was the description of a paradise

that would be created in North America.

Utopian. A utopia that would be created in North America that would be finally

the perfect society.

When you look at the stuff that Bacon wrote, one of the sections in Sylvus

Sivarum is a description of how to create a perpetual spring.

And the very first line of instruction is, dig a pit upon the seashore.

He's saying, find the high ground near the seashore to start. And then, you

know, the system of tunnels. I mean, it sounds like he's describing Oak Island.

If I was going to pursue a theory, if I was in your place, I would go with the

Bacon theory and follow it.

Randall's theory that Bacon did this, it's surely intriguing, surely very

interesting.

Bacon was a savant. He was the Michelangelo of his day. Might he have

labored to conduct this enterprise? Possibly.

well randall this has been great thank you for sharing this all with us yeah

okay well we all have a lot to do let's go do it

okay

well let's do it it's all you now go find something as a new day begins on

oak island here we go Rick Lagina, Craig Tester, and members of the team are more

eager than ever to continue their exploration of the mysterious borehole

known as C1.

Now that the hammer grab has been positioned above the hole, they are

hoping it can retrieve evidence of the shiny metallic object they discovered

when they explored the site last year.

Hey Charles, this is it. Yeah, this is it. This is it. This is your deal.

That's it?

How about that?

That, that.

I got a few other things crossed too.

My hope is as the hammer grab process is proceeding that something definitive

will fall out of those jaws.

That one singular something will fall into that bucket and we'll

go, aha, that's the hope. It's always the hope. It continues to be the hope.

Oh, here comes Dan.

All right.

What's going on, Rick?

Well, if you want to come over there, it's quite an interesting development.

We hit the cavity at 171.

You want to come out and take a look? Yeah.

You've worn those more than a few times.

Somebody has a big head around here.

Here it comes.

What is it?

Here we go.

As the Oak Island team watches the three-ton hammer grab tool, excavate mud

and debris from the bottom of C1.

They are hoping that the spoils will contain important evidence of man-made

workings.

Or perhaps proof that the shiny metallic object Rick and Charles spotted last

year was not just an illusion.

Is it wood or not?

I don't know what it is.

Let's show Dan that.

It's black black.

Dan, what's that?

In Dan's more than five decades of searching for treasure on Oak Island, he

has seen more than anyone alive.

He also knows when to be dismissive of a find and when to be intrigued with it.

Is that wood or is it charcoal or what is it?

That is old decay wood.

That's interesting. Interesting?

Save that.

Old decayed wood?

Could the team have just found evidence of an ancient man-made structure some

170 feet below ground?

He says that's decayed wood.

Old decayed wood.

Okay, so how do we... How do we get that off my hands and into a bag?

Wow.

That's amazing.

I thought it was metal at first.

You're coming up with some interesting formation.

That's for sure.

Isn't that odd?

Isn't that odd?

That's odd as hell.

That's interesting.

But that's not bedrock.

That's the good part of it.

Since the bedrock on this side of the island is known to be limestone and

hydride, the presence of this strange rock only adds to the curiosity about

the nature of the mysterious underground void.

That's water.

See what the water has done to us.

That's water from erosion, okay?

Whether it occurs in a natural formation, that's 100% sure, one way or

the other. We were in a cavity, a true cavity. We could see the walls. I'll

tell you right now, I mean, that's rock that you got out.

don't belong there i can tell you that i have never ran into that kind of rock

never never that one piece of

rock that came up i found incredibly intriguing i to me it looked like the

type of rock and the type of formation in the rock that we saw in the video we

saw that type of rock formation on the walls when the camera was panning around

well that's the

inside of your cavity.

Yeah, I'd say that that was the, this was the ceiling and that was the top of

it like that.

Oh, there was something hanging right off of there.

More wood? More wood. Look at that piece.

Yep, that's wood right there.

Big question is... Is this wood part of an old roof that's caved in?

An old roof?

Could it be a piece of an underground tunnel or box?

Or perhaps a piece of the wooden vault first discovered by treasure hunters

William Chappell and Frederick Blair in 1897?

It's not ours, that's for damn sure.

I never drilled over there.

Yeah, no, this is a new cavity, so I...

I guess it's a great sign having wood coming up. Yeah.

Craig, more wood.

Ceiling? What is wood if it comes from that level? What's it doing other than

having been introduced by some activity of a human being?

Craig, I think what the big question here is...

What is wood doing at that depth below bedrock, below virgin soil?

How do we explain that?

I think it's very encouraging. If there is a ceiling that had wood on it and

it's collapsed a bit, then we're bringing up some of that wood from the

collapse.

Now that the hammer grab at C1 has yielded evidence that something of value

could lie at the bottom of the underground void, the team must figure

out, what to do next do they continue to blindly excavate the void which could

damage or destroy precious artifacts or do they send a diver down to make a

first-hand investigation we need to puzzle out how we're going to explore

this we have to line up sonar line up an rov any info is good info at this point

in my opinion yeah The next step is to put a sonar down. We need to image the

cavity. We have to know width, breadth, depth.

We have to get as much information as possible before we put a human being

down in that cavity.

We'll just have to figure it out. We got more questions again today. We thought

we'd get some answers. We got questions. That's Oak Island. That's Oak Island. I

know.

It asks more questions than it answers.

Maybe not tomorrow.

At the end of a long day that saw progress made at the C-1 shaft.

We all want to know this object that's, whether it's in the ceiling, whether

it's in the wall, there's something there we're all convinced.

Yeah. Rick Lagina, Charles Barkhouse, and Jack Begley gather in the Oak Island

War Room.

They are planning a further exploration of what could be a man-made cavity some

170 feet underground.

Charles, I know C1 intrigued you from getting going. Now we've got this

difficulty, if you will, about how to explore it, how to find the shiny gold

thing.

And there's only one way to get it, and that's to put a diver down the hole.

Yeah.

John and Howard did an exemplary dive in 10X, so we need to get them on the horn

and see if they're interested.

Absolutely.

Going down.

Last year, world-renowned diver John Chatterdon made the perilous 235-foot

descent to the bottom of Borehole 10X in an effort to

help the team look for artifacts, tunnels, or other signs of man-made

workings.

Unfortunately,

this ability was virtually zero, and Chatterton's findings indicated that

what Dan Blankenship had long believed to be a man-made chamber could be a

natural formation.

Yeah, what is that, John?

It's far and away more difficult than 10X. God forbid there's a collapse.

And I think if anyone can do it, it's those two.

All right, let's ring them up, see what happens.

Hey, guys.

John, Howard, how are you?

Hey, guys, how you doing?

Good, good.

Joining John Chatterdon on the video conference is his business partner and

safety diver, Howard Ehrenberg.

We have a proposition for you, if you will.

Awesome. You guys, when you left, you got bit by the Oak Island bug. You said

you wanted to be kept in the know.

Yeah. We've been doing some digging in the money pit.

And one of the holes, based on last year's work, we thought we entered a

void, a swimmable cavity that may extend into the original money pit.

So your question is, are we interested?

That is our question.

We're, you know, I mean, we really, and truly, we wish you

guys the greatest success.

in all this.

I see.

But at the same time, we prefer you didn't have that great success without

us.

So I think they care.

All right.

That'd be great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So we dropped a 43-inch caisson to get us a free access to the cavity. So you

wouldn't be encumbered by, like, 10X, the ladder, the hoist rails, all of

that. We thought we'd give you...

really clear dive yeah the 43 inch caisson is anchored in the bedrock but

we did pull up about 10 feet so you'd be going down through uncased rock into the

cavity okay and that's the last 10 feet or so yes exactly and again at that

point of entry we're not sure if there was a collapse of the ceiling so there

are a lot of questions certainly

Seems as though it's a dynamic environment.

Yes. It's like whether it's stable now or not, we'll figure it out.

Okay. There was one other thing that we noticed, John. As Rick said, we hit this

void at 171, and they put a camera down, and it appeared to show this shiny gold

thing. But we're concerned that did the caisson drop this gold object somewhere

down in the muck?

Sure, yeah.

That's what I was thinking, actually.

Yes. The other part of the investigation aspect of this hole, we'd like to drop

BlueView sonar down there, get a 3D computer model of it, whatever else we

can come up with, get as much of the knowns out of that hole as possible, and

then you guys decide.

Let's see what it looks like.

with number one, the sonar, and then decide whether we really need to make an

exploratory dive or we can feel like we know enough that we can get right to

work. All right.

John and Howard are committed, even without a complete understanding of what

limited information we have. I say move ahead.

Put them in the hole.

Thank you both very much. Appreciate it. We're excited, man.

All right. Thanks, Paul. See you.

I would love to find something of monetary value. That would be great.

But to get some answers would be sort of the de minimis wish.

Let's at least get some answers.

For Rick, Marty, and the Oak Island team, the dream of making an important

discovery in the C1 shaft may soon become a reality.

Armed with both video footage of a mysterious gold-colored object, and

physical evidence of a possible wooden structure there is reason to believe

that the laginas and their partners could be on the verge of a major

breakthrough but if so what will they find a chest containing the

priceless manuscripts of william shakespeare a wooden vault filled with

stolen gold or will c one prove to be a deadly trap

One that will give to the island yet another human trophy.

Next time on The Curse of Oak Island.

I think we explored 10X. No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Why do you guys keep hanging

on to this thing? Because I believe.

Let's put this machine in there. Yeah, let's get it in the hole. I still am

puzzled by what's in the bottom of 10X. Yeah, I still see the square target. I

think it's still in the same position.

John Chatterton is back.

Hopefully he can put his eyes on the target. Wow.

Hear that?

He's got something on the metal detector.

It's metal. It's a big chunk of it.
