Tonight on The Curse of Oak Island.

Maybe today we'll find the one thing. I think we're right on target for that

tunnel. Keep your eyes peeled, guys.

Sweet. What is that?

We found a copy of the Corona document. That document will lead us to a Templar

voyage to the New World, including Oak Island. We have the first evidence the

French were here.

Whoa! What do you got? I think he hit the tunnel from shaft six.

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 a stone slab with strange symbols carved into it,

mysterious fragments of human bone, and a lead cross whose origin may stretch

back to the days of the Knights Templar. 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.

For brothers Rick and Marty Lagina and members of their team, the keys to

solving the 223-year-old Oak Island mystery may be closer than ever.

Hey, Mike. We're going to go with H-I-4.

Not looking for much of anything until at least 90 feet.

Sounds good. Then on we'll start firming up, making sure we're getting...

Good sample. Okay. The key, looking for a tunnel at the 100-foot level, maybe a

little deeper.

Sounds good. Okay. All right.

In recent weeks, an ambitious seismic survey of the island has revealed a

number of possible underground voids.

Voids which may be connected to the original Oak Island treasure shaft

discovered in 1795.

There's the wood. So far.

the seismic results have guided the team to the remains of a possible tunnel at a

depth of 93 feet along with evidence of human activity some 170 feet

deep underground somebody's hit these things with an axe you can see it today

the team has begun drilling a new exploratory borehole in an area known as

hi4 where seismic imaging detected a possible network of tunnels at a depth

of 100 feet we've got two well locations that hit wood

that to me look like tunnel because of the amount you found right so if these

are the shafts then that's the direction the tunnel would go eight high four yeah

and that's in general conventional wisdom indicates that the money pit was

right right okay so we'll see it was while excavating in this same

area last year that the team encountered an object they believed to be the so

-called Chapel Vault at a depth of some 170 feet.

It feels like I'm on a whole bunch of wood at once now.

The vault, which was first discovered by treasure hunters William Chapel and

Frederick Blair in 1897, was estimated to be a large seven-foot-tall wooden

structure.

After drilling through it, the drill bit revealed evidence of gold, as well as a

small piece of parchment with writing on it.

Unfortunately, when Chappell and Blair attempted to excavate the vault, the

tunnel they had dug filled with water and collapsed.

Last year, after once again locating what Rick, Marty, and Craig Tester

believed to be the chapel vault the 60 inch wide drilling caisson they were

using seemed to have pushed the elusive structure lower and lower into the soft

muddy ground and off to the side we have to exploit this fine we have

to you know find out the orientation of the tunnel because it's certainly

in close proximity to h8 i think if we model it and it turns out that it's

somewhere in association with a money pit, then we're onto something.

It'd be great if we had wood, you know, 100 feet.

We'd like it. Then we're looking for that break or that tunnel. Yeah.

It should be drilling good and straight.

As the drilling operation at the money pit continues...

Hey. Hey, Marty. Hey, guys.

Craig Tester joins Rick Lagina and other members of the Oak Island team in the

war room.

So, big brother, how'd your trip to New York go? Tell me. I'll tell you in one

word. I was stunned.

Wow. One week ago, Rick received the shocking news that his close friend,

researcher and author Zena Halpert, had passed away.

Rick also learned...

that Zena had bequeathed to him the results of her life's work, including a

vast trove of books and documents, which seemed to connect the Oak Island mystery

to activities involving the Knights Templar as far back as the 12th century.

I'm just so thrilled to know that her life's work isn't just going to stop

right now.

I guarantee you it's not going to stop, Devin. Jason, it's not going to stop.

She wouldn't allow it to stop, and we won't either.

Thank you both.

The amount of material that Zena has wrought, the width and breadth of the

lady's accomplishments and research, it was stunning. That is the word,

stunning. Is it tied to Oak Island?

I think we all have just a very rudimentary understanding of the work as

it relates to Oak Island. The information is somewhat disjointed.

Do you have the information with you? You have it all? I have some of it, but

there was so much that we have to have it shipped.

The information will all come to Oak Island.

So one of the things that was found is an actual copy of the Corona

document.

And it's a deposition by this English Templar knight.

It's a description of a year-long voyage to the New World, what's called Antiora.

I know what this is.

This is at the core.

of your mother's research.

While packing up Zena's collection of research, Rick discovered a copy of what

is known as the Cremona Document, a collection of maps and journal passages

reportedly authored by the 12th century Templar knight, Ralph de Soutillet.

It describes not only de Soutillet's journey to the Temple Mount in

Jerusalem, where he claimed to have recovered priceless religious treasures,

including the Ark of the Covenant.

but also a Templar voyage to the New World in the year 1178, more than three

centuries before Christopher Columbus made landfall in North America.

I don't know if this is 100% accurate. I don't. Right.

I do believe with 100% certainty that it's worth some commitment of ours to

try to come to an understanding of whether not only is this relevant, but

is it accurate?

Here's my thought.

We've now come into possession of some remarkable research, a lifetime's worth

of research, literally.

And to that end, I propose that we establish a research center, a place

where we can gather the information regarding our work, our pursuit of

answers for the Oak Island mystery, and commit ourselves to that endeavor. I

want to carry her work forward. I do.

Once Zena's research is here and housed here, It will foster the sense of that

information hunt is indeed important.

I believe there's a lot more to glean from her research and who knows where

those paths lead us. I think the future of that research, Xena's legacy, if you

will, is in very good hands on Oak Island.

It sounds to me like the research center idea is timely because, you know, it's

going to take some real digging to mess with this.

So keep going. Keep digging is all I can say and see what's trying to separate

out fact from fiction.

I'm going to make certain that we follow up on this. Good job, you guys. All

right. See ya. See ya.

Talk to you later. Bye.

What hole are we on?

H.I. 4.

H.I. 4? Okay.

Following their meeting in the war room, Craig Tester and Charles Barkhouse

returned to the Money Pit area to check on the drilling progress of borehole

HI4, a location where recent seismic scanning indicates a man-made tunnel

might exist some 100 feet below.

This is 118?

Yeah. As the sonic rig advances the drill bar deeper into the ground, a

specialized coring barrel on the end will extract samples of earth and any

objects or evidence.

in intervals of up to 10 feet.

All right, here we go. We're casing to 118 right now.

What's on the table is 109 to 118.

OK.

These samples will then be carefully examined by the team for any evidence of

the tunnel and hopefully any important artifacts or treasure they might

contain.

So let's look at this with much interest.

Keep your eyes peeled, guys.

That stuff is thick, eh?

Solid.

Uh-oh, that's wood.

Is that horizontal?

A little bit. You know, it came this way, so. It's 45-ish.

Yeah, I mean, it's coming in a little bit of an angle, but, you know, it could

have been a collapsed board.

Yep.

Just flip that over. That's a very flat surface.

That's the edge of your timber. Yeah.

I think we're right on target for that tunnel.

I think we're right in the general area.

I really think we're in situ material.

The presence of undisturbed or in situ soil means that the wood the team has

found is likely from a centuries-old man-made structure.

Could it be one of the infamous flood tunnels designed to protect a priceless

treasure? Or might it be a tunnel?

that leads to the treasure itself.

You guys got your own personal swamp going on here. Yes. Hey, Eric.

Where are we at?

One-nine to one-eighteen.

I don't know. It looks like a cut piece here.

And what's interesting about this, that was almost horizontal.

Oh, Charles, what do you think about finding the wood at this depth?

We could, possibly.

Just possibly.

be in your debris field.

The tunnel going from shaft six to the money pit.

A tunnel leading to the money pit?

In 1861, a team of treasure hunters attempted to reach the bottom of the

original money pit and avoid the flood tunnels by digging an adjacent shaft

down to a depth of 118 feet.

From there, they began tunneling some 18 feet east.

in the hopes of entering from underneath the floor of the suspected treasure

chamber.

Unfortunately, as the team dug closer, the tunnel, known as Shaft 6, started

flooding with seawater, halting their efforts.

Just days later, workers reported hearing a series of horribly loud

crashes below, leading to speculation that the money pit had collapsed,

scattering tons of lumber.

and possible treasure across a deep flooded debris field shaft six at the

time they dug it they knew exactly where the original money pit was if we can

find the info we can track it back to the original location the money fit and

there you are it is shaft six it's been long sought record show 118

would be the bottom of it yeah we just don't know

Depends on which end you're at. Yeah, exactly, because that thing was 18 feet

long. But if it's clear and you really knew it was six, and then you knew which

end you were at, and then you could infer where the money pit was. Yeah.

Because the location of shaft six has been lost for over a century, finding

what appears to be evidence of an old searcher tunnel could be an exciting

breakthrough.

If the Oak Island team can determine which part of the shaft they have

discovered, It could help them pinpoint the exact position of the original money

pit.

This is sixth.

Something's going to come up in that door.

Okay, here it comes.

That belt's pushed out.

That's a big one.

Wood right here.

Look at there.

Yeah, that's a little interesting.

That's the floor of the tunnel right there.

Now that ties pretty good with shaft six and its tunnel.

What does that tell us to do? Move over and try to track that further, see if

that's a shaft or not? Yeah, I agree.

So yeah, what are we at right now?

So we're at 128.

128-ish, yeah.

Yeah, there's no point in going deeper. No.

Having reached a depth of 128 feet, some 10 feet below the bottom of shaft 6,

the Oak Island team sees little purpose in continuing to dig borehole HI4.

Instead, they will choose another drill site in an effort to find the elusive

19th century searcher shaft and the tunnel that should lead them to the

original money pit.

There's enough intriguing information here that lends itself, I think, When we

come back at this, we have to continue to explore this possibility.

Yep, absolutely.

Perfect. Thanks, guys. Take care. See you.

See you, Rick.

As a new day begins on Oak Island.

Rick, I believe your research center is here.

Rick, Marty, and members of the team.

welcome the arrival of a very timely addition to the island.

Irving Equipment Limited, the company which for the past three years has

become a valuable partner in nearly all of the team's major excavations, has

helped arrange for one of its affiliates, Kent Holmes, to temporarily

donate one of their prefabricated residential dwellings to the island.

It will serve not only as a library to house the records of Zena Halpern, but

also as a research center where people interested in Oak Island and its history

can come and work.

I'm very grateful myself.

I think that Oak Island is a very special place, and as part of that, we

welcome Irving as part of the Oak Island story.

Well, thank you very much for the opportunity to be a part of this.

Anything we can do on our end, we'll gladly help support you on that. Great.

Fantastic.

Let's have a look.

Very nice.

In fact, really nice.

It'll be nicer when there's computers, maps, conference tables, monitors.

I've always exposed the belief that we need a proper research center.

If we all really want answers to the mystery, then we need to have a place

where real research can be done. The deal is you've got to look to the past

to move the search forward.

All it would take is one little discovery and one little obscure piece

of paper to turn everything, make it all work.

It's a great start for what we're trying to achieve.

I agree.

With the new research center in place, Rick Lagina and Charles Barkhouse are

joined by fellow Oak Island enthusiasts Doug Crowell and Paul Troutman.

Wow. Doug's already got it set up. Yeah. They have come to help unpack the vast

collection of research materials, most of which Rick has recently inherited

from his late friend, Zena Halpern.

Look at that. It's all annotated, you know, notes.

It's incredible.

One of the greatest things about Oak Island is you meet interesting,

wonderful, captivating people.

And this commitment, this passion, this desire to learn, it changed Zena's life.

Yeah, she added notes on top of what was currently there.

Notes on top of notes.

We'll have to see how it ties in more with Oak Island.

As work on the new research center progresses,

Jack Begley, Peter Fernetti, and metal detection expert Gary Drayton head to

Lot 21, located on the western side of the island.

So we should be able to bring back a ton of stuff from here.

Let's get to it. Yep.

It was while searching this same lot just three weeks ago that Gary, along

with Rick Lagina, made one of the team's most astonishing discoveries to date.

Oh, my gosh.

It's another Bobby Dazzler.

Look! A gold-plated brooch, which was later determined to be as much as 700

years old.

They're trying to winkle a good target out.

That is what a button or a coin would sound like.

Just in here, mate.

Come on, be something good. Baby, be something good.

It's out, whatever it is.

What is that?

That's got some designs on it. Yeah, that has.

Oh, that's cool.

You know what this reminds me of? This reminds me of like a cap badge, a

military cap badge.

This would have been a decoration on a cap. It would have been on the front.

And that's a top pocket find, mate.

In we go.

All right.

And we'll see if there's any more parts to it.

We've got another signal in the top.

Be a little bit more gentle with this one.

I'm hoping it's more of the same.

Oh, man, look at that.

Before I move, I can see the fleur-de-lis. This is... That is

definitely... Let's see if it fits on there.

It does.

It's definitely a fit.

Like a glove.

Wow, look at that design on there.

They look like fleur-de-lis, but very, very similar.

That's a French design. This would date to the 1700s. A badge?

And possibly from the cap of an 18th century French military officer's

uniform? But if so, what is it doing on Oak Island?

And could it have some connection to the gold brooch discovered in this same area

earlier this year?

French military, baby.

Yeah.

And what was they either putting here or searching for?

or protecting definitely a top pocket fine guys

later that same day

rick and charles along with craig tester and dave

blankenship head over to the money pit site where the team from choice drilling

has already begun coring a new borehole known as ij 5.5 an

area chosen due to its close proximity to gal one one of the team's most

promising shafts to date hey guys i'm absolutely interested in drilling this

position called ij 5.5 in search of the long sought after tunnel between shaft 6

and the money pit After that collapse in 1861, the money pit location was lost.

And ever since then, there's only been a guess, an educated guess, mind you. But

if we can find that tunnel, I think that's the way to uncorkscrew the money

pit.

So, Brennan, we're at 59, right? That's correct, 59.

The reason why this one is interesting, when we drilled the gal hole, we found

in the spoils, we find a very old spike, and we found a gold-plated butt.

That's our spot right there. That's where Gal is. Gal number one.

Two years ago, in an effort to locate the original money pit, the Oak Island

team excavated a 40-inch wide exploratory shaft, which was named in

honor of Rick and Marty's parents, George and Ann Lagina.

Gal one.

We've got a coin!

Honest to God, a coin out of this spoils pot? It was while searching the spoils

from this hole.

which was dug to a depth of 160 feet, that the team made a number of

significant discoveries.

It says plate and it's a button.

Including a gold-plated 18th century British military button, a 300-year-old

iron rosehead spike, and a mysterious metal hinge believed to have come from

some kind of large box or vault.

Maybe that was part of the debris field.

I never thought twice about it, did you? No, because we didn't know where it came

from. Okay.

Maybe today we'll find the one thing.

Yeah.

That's the hope.

Early the next day, as the team from Choice Drilling continues the coring

operation at orville ij 5.5 wow look at that

they're really coming along yeah morning rick lagina charles barkhouse and dan

henske check on the progress of the massive steel cofferdam being

constructed at smith's cove wow quite impressive it's looking good

you know i have high hopes for that area yeah so bring us up to speed how is it

going have you encountered you know the problem the potential problem was always

wood have you encountered any of that no wood yet no a little harder tails and

clay we're gonna do now but no wood you can see the profile of the sheets right

where the corner starts when they step up about a foot or so that's where the

hard tails are yeah in order to construct a cofferdam both wide enough

and deep enough to encircle most of smith's cove The team from Irving

Equipment Limited has employed a process known as sheet piling, which uses a

powerful hydraulic hammer to drive 40-foot-long steel sheets up to 25 feet

deep into the seabed.

Each of these pilings, weighing some 5,500 pounds, will interlock together to

form a 525-foot-long watertight barrier, which when finished will allow the Oak

Island team to fully drain and then excavate.

the approximately 12,000 square foot area.

If successful, the team may be able to find not only important historical

artifacts, like the mysterious lead cross, but also the entrance to the

booby-trapped flood tunnel system, which sends ocean water to the Money Pit area

for the purpose of thwarting would-be treasure hunters.

How far along do you think we are?

After today, we should have a third of the wall completed.

Good.

I'm buoyed by the fact that we're going to accomplish this.

We're going to get Smith's Cove sealed off watertight once and for all.

If it were up to me, I would start yesterday.

The faster this proceeds, the more answers we will gain, and that's the

hope. Colin, I can't wait to see it completed, and we can get our hands

dirty. Sure.

Yeah.

I know you've got a lot of work to do. The guys are busy, so good luck the rest

of the day. Stay safe. See you later, guys.

Later that

day... Come on in.

Marty Lagina, his son Alex, and local archaeologist Laird Niven arrive for a

meeting at the new Oak Island Research Center.

Hello, gents.

Hey, how you doing, Marty? I got Laird in tow.

They have been invited by Gary Drayton.

and researcher Paul Troutman to inspect Gary's most recent discoveries on Lot

21.

Gary, I understand you have some TPFs for us. Yep. Top pocket finds. I have.

I'm always excited when you say that, so let's have a look.

Well, first of all, I'll have to tell you where this came from. Yep.

Lot 21.

So I won't tease you any longer, and it's in the top pocket.

All right. Check this out.

Both pieces were found in the same area.

What do you think of that, Laird?

Oh, man, look at that.

Interesting.

I think what this is is a cap or a hat decoration, a military

uniform piece.

That's kind of the shape of a grenadier's hat as well, replicating

that. And the French influence as well.

Yeah. If that's French, then obviously the first thing you think of is the

ship's log and the Duc d'Anville and all that connection.

I found eight pages of what looks like a ship's log.

Last year, Oak Island researcher Doug Crowell presented the team with

information taken from a centuries-old ship's log.

In it was the detailed account of a failed French naval expedition in 1746.

led by the duke danville a descendant of a family connected to the knights

templar the log also documented the construction of what was described as a

deep treasure shaft dug on a wooded island and then filled with millions in

gold and precious jewels it has been agreed that a deep pit be dug the pit to

have a secret entrance by a tunnel from the shore i mean a great quantity of

treasure and and that they appear to be in this bay what troubles me is how

perfect this is interestingly enough the duke de anvil his real name was jean

baptiste louis frederick de rochefoucauld could this french military

badge which gary believes dates back to the 1700s be physical evidence that the

duke danville actually came to oak island the same duke danville whose

ancestors were believed by Zena Halpern to be key players in the Oak Island

treasure mystery.

Is that the only potential French thing we found on the island?

It is for me.

As far as I know.

Every time you find something, Gary, it expands the possibilities, not shrinks

them. More questions than answers.

Good. Let's see where the trail leads us.

I need some bigger top pockets.

As the drilling of borehole IJ 5.5 continues at the money pit... Hello?

Hello, Randall. Yeah.

Marty and Rick Lagina take a phone call in the war room.

Yeah, you got Marty and Rick. How are you? Good to hear you guys. What is it?

For nearly two decades, acclaimed author Randall Sullivan has been investigating

and writing about the Oak Island mystery.

Two years ago...

he paid a special visit to the island in order to conduct research on a book.

Just imagine if the ghosts of the 19th century could see this.

One which he intends will be the most comprehensive and authoritative ever

written about the 223-year-old treasure hunt.

It astonished me how many people didn't know about the story and were completely

entranced by it. And the story just didn't go away because the mystery has

not gone away.

And that's actually what engages me in terms of writing a book. It's the story

and the mystery of it that is really compelling.

You two share that.

So what can we do for you?

I was hoping you guys would talk a bit, obviously, about the stuff you found

last summer, which...

I'll say this, they're probably the most puzzling finds, that's for sure.

The most significant ones, Randall, we think are the human bones.

I mean, even for a skeptic like me, it's just hard to come up with a plausible

reason that those things were that deep underground.

And then we have that very strange medieval cross. I think those are the

two biggies for the year.

Yeah. And do you see a connection?

Well, there's a good question.

That's why they're so strange. No, I don't really see a connection between

those two other than drawing the obvious conclusion that something rather

extraordinary happened here.

It's an island of what-ifs and possibilities, and it continues to

remain so.

You know, your favorite theory was Francis Bacon. Are you still there? Have

you uncovered anything more that Francis Bacon has a connection here?

I mean, I certainly explored that, and I do think I have a lot of new information

about that. I still get the sense there was something going on that was spread

over time and might have involved literally generations of people with Oak

Island. And the Bacon Theory kind of ties into that for me. But as you guys

know, Oak Island is just this unending revelation. Yeah, isn't that maddening?

I'm looking forward to reading your book. I assume we get an autographed

copy, right?

That would be great.

Randall Sullivan is clearly an Oak Island aficionado. The fact that he's

now writing a book, I very much look forward to reading it. I've always

believed that the Oak Island story is quite remarkable, and I hope he does it

justice.

Anyway, Randall, look, we wish you the very best. Absolutely. See you. Take

care.

Thanks, you guys. Yeah, bye.

Later that same day,

Rick Lagina joins Craig Tester, Dave Blankenship, and Charles Barkhouse as

they head to the money pit to check on the progress of borehole IJ 5.5, a hole

which they believe intersects a 157-year-old serger tunnel known... as

shaft six if their assumption is correct the team should be able to locate not

only the original money pit but also what they hope is a massive underground

debris field how you doing how deep are we oh we're down about 89 feet 89 feet

close

The hope is that this is the area where the tunnel to the money pit is, shaft

six tunnel. Well, from my perspective, it's right in ground that we haven't

been in before. So if we can stay straight, we'll hit a target that we

haven't seen in any other hole.

There's no question that today there's some excitement in the air, certainly

anticipation.

If there's something to be found in the money pit, it's in the tunnel that

connects shaft six to the original money pit.

And the hope is that this is indeed the location.

Well, here we go.

111, Charles. 111.

Here's Institute, I mean.

Yep, it does.

Oh, that's interesting.

What do you got?

Well, a chunk of wood. Got wood here, too.

It's hard to say. Oh, that's a piece.

While drilling in borehole IJ 5.5, Rick Lagina and members of the Oak Island

team have just made a potentially significant find.

Was that horizontal, Rick? Yeah. I think he hit.

The tunnel from shaft six.

They have just discovered evidence of what appears to be a wooden beam found

at a depth of 111 feet, a depth which, according to historical records, matches

that of shaft six.

The 157-year-old searcher tunnel that they believe can lead them directly to

the original Oak Island money pit.

I think it's worth calling Marty.

Craig, you want to skip more to your call?

What's up, guys?

We think we found one of the sides of Tunnel 6.

It's now finding the middle, and is there any gold inside of it?

Yeah, because you don't know which side to go on.

Craig would like to go west first.

I'm okay with that, but I think we need to, obviously, we need to go east as

well to try to define it.

All we have to do is find one thing.

Then we chase the tunnel.

And there's your money pit. Bingo.

Well, stay at it. Keep me posted. That all sounds good.

Okay. All right.

Okay, guys. Thanks for the update. Sure thing. Talk to you again. Bye.

Today was a good day on Oak Island, in my opinion.

I do believe we're in a tunnel.

And if we are, it's been hard won, hard fought.

He's been looking for this debris field.

since we started so it moves the dial a little bit you find that tunnel you'll

find the money pit i really believe this is the tunnel from shaft six now it's

just finding out did the treasure chest shoot into this tunnel yep there's

something in six let's find it okay gentlemen thank you

after a day that saw the oak island

team make promising new discoveries both at the Money Pit and Lot 21, Rick Lagina

welcomes a very special visitor to the island.

Davin, welcome.

How are you doing, buddy?

Davin Halpert is the son of late author and researcher Zena Halpert.

He has come to see the place where his mother's decades of research materials

have now found a new home, the Oak Island Research Center.

Sit down, please.

Please. Thank you.

I hope the trip went well. Yes.

Absolutely. You know, I mean, waiting for you to arrive, you know, Doug was

speaking about your mom.

For us, she's still alive. She's still within here and still within

here. You know, my life has been enriched by meeting her.

I'm just really happy that she's been taken in as part of this family.

There was something that she wanted you to have, and I brought something with

me.

So when you visited, if you remember, there was this

candlestick.

So this was a precious artifact that my mom brought back from one of

her travels.

wow i don't know if she was tracing back to some hebrew relative of hers

i can tell you it's an absolute honor and a privilege to bring this

personally here and be here it's really humbling for me i mean i'm humbled

stunned appreciative you know all i can say is thank you because

it's it's a part of your mom here that has now come to reside on Oak Island.

When we receive something from a person that we care about, it's not about that

item.

Memories flood back. The understanding of who that person is comes alive.

And in that moment, I reconnected with her.

Surely she touched each and every one of us. And to that end, we're very

grateful. I'm so happy to see that her work is being appreciated, and it's

likely not going to end with her.

I think we all commit to this, that her research will endure.

It will not end with her.

I know how much she deeply cared about you and everybody here, and I know that

she's looking down on this right now, and she's really happy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Appreciate it, bud.

And I will tell you this, there's but one time this candle will be lit, when

we have the answers, because of her work.

Awesome.

And you will be here in this room when that lights up. I will commit to that,

absolutely.

For Rick, Marty, and the Oak Island team, this week, more than any other,

has reminded them of the debt they owe to all the hard work done by those who

came before them.

For it is through countless hours of digging, as well as years of fact

-finding and research, that the Oak Island story has been preserved.

And the keys to a possible breakthrough may very well exist perhaps not in plain

sight or even deep underground but hidden within books and

manuscripts or maybe on a simple piece of paper written

in code next time on the curse of

oak island The Jolly Roger was originally a Templar symbol. Some of

them became pirates.

I am very excited to see some sort of chamber on the Megabin area. Is it going

to be wood? I don't think so. It's pretty dense. If there's a plate

covering off something, that's going to be huge. We have this lead artifact. Can

you actually put a precise location on it? I think I get some pretty

interesting results for you. It is the most historic thing that's maybe ever

happened in North America.
