1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:02,960
Tonight on the curse of oak island...
2
00:00:03,045 --> 00:00:04,503
Rick:
That's impressive.
3
00:00:04,588 --> 00:00:06,463
Don't take a knife
to a gunfight.
4
00:00:06,507 --> 00:00:09,341
Wow. I was not expecting that.
5
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:15,139
Doesn't that line up
with the old stone triangle?
6
00:00:15,224 --> 00:00:16,849
It runs along the same line.
7
00:00:16,934 --> 00:00:18,726
I would not have noticed that.
8
00:00:18,811 --> 00:00:20,352
Aha, ha!
9
00:00:20,438 --> 00:00:22,187
-Yeah, look at that.
-Ian: What the hell is that?
10
00:00:22,231 --> 00:00:24,023
That looks like a cannon,
for god's sake.
11
00:00:24,108 --> 00:00:26,150
Holy.
I didn't expect to see this.
12
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:28,318
- Geez. Look at that.
-Whoa!
13
00:00:30,614 --> 00:00:34,199
Narrator: There is an island in the north atlantic
14
00:00:34,243 --> 00:00:37,703
where people have been looking for an incredible treasure
15
00:00:37,747 --> 00:00:40,914
for more than 200 years.
16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,043
So far, they have found a stone slab
17
00:00:44,128 --> 00:00:46,712
with strange symbols carved into it,
18
00:00:46,797 --> 00:00:49,548
mysterious fragments of human bone,
19
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:53,385
and a lead cross whose origin may stretch back
20
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:55,888
to the days of the knights templar.
21
00:00:55,973 --> 00:01:00,392
To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
22
00:01:01,437 --> 00:01:03,520
And, according to legend,
23
00:01:03,606 --> 00:01:06,565
one more will have to die
24
00:01:06,650 --> 00:01:10,360
before the treasure can be found.
25
00:01:21,624 --> 00:01:23,749
charles: Here we go.
26
00:01:24,794 --> 00:01:26,919
Narrator: A new day of investigation
27
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:31,673
to solve a 225-year-old mysteryhas begun on oak island.
28
00:01:34,386 --> 00:01:35,594
What do you got?
29
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:37,596
108 to 128.
30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,723
Terry:
108 to 128. Thank you.
31
00:01:39,809 --> 00:01:42,351
-Narrator: And at the money pit area...
32
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:43,894
-terry: Hi, rick.
-Rick: Hey.
33
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:46,313
...Rick lagina joins oak island historian
34
00:01:46,398 --> 00:01:49,733
charles barkhouse and geologist terry matheson
35
00:01:49,777 --> 00:01:51,527
to check on the progress being made
36
00:01:51,612 --> 00:01:53,737
in locating a legendary treasure vault
37
00:01:53,823 --> 00:01:57,574
more than 170 feet underground.
38
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:00,661
-Here we are at h5.5.
-Yeah.
39
00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:02,746
Terry:
And as you can see,
that's pretty meager recovery.
40
00:02:02,832 --> 00:02:04,748
-Yeah.
-But it's what
we might expect because
41
00:02:04,834 --> 00:02:07,668
it's going down through,
crushed, granite backfill.
42
00:02:07,753 --> 00:02:10,295
Of course,
our target is beneath.
43
00:02:11,549 --> 00:02:13,632
Narrator: One week ago,
44
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:17,136
rick, his brother marty, and their partner craig tester
45
00:02:17,221 --> 00:02:20,597
began a core-drilling operationin an attempt
46
00:02:20,683 --> 00:02:22,975
to pinpointthe fabled treasure's location,
47
00:02:23,018 --> 00:02:24,518
which is believed
48
00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:26,395
to have fallen to a much greater depth
49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,107
due to more than two centuriesof digging by previous searchers
50
00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:32,234
followed by massive cave-ins
51
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:36,738
caused by an elaborate systemof booby-trapped flood tunnels.
52
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:38,907
This caisson will not end
53
00:02:38,993 --> 00:02:42,411
until 175 or 190.
Somewhere between that.
54
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:44,580
So, there's really
no surprise here.
55
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:46,874
No, we're still above
our target horizon.
56
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:49,168
We will get into
a more interesting area
57
00:02:49,253 --> 00:02:50,544
when we are beneath 175.
58
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:53,005
And until then,
59
00:02:53,090 --> 00:02:55,257
it's just boring backfill.
60
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:57,676
Rick:
We've now all come to the belief
61
00:02:57,761 --> 00:02:59,303
that if there was a treasure,
62
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:01,763
that it has fallen
to great depths.
63
00:03:01,849 --> 00:03:03,098
So, what has the program
64
00:03:03,184 --> 00:03:04,474
led you to believe
about the possibilities
65
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:06,894
of that very thing happening?
66
00:03:06,979 --> 00:03:08,478
Terry:
Absolutely, there is an opening
67
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:11,190
in the middle
of the money pit area.
68
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:13,317
A break in the bedrock,
if you will,
69
00:03:13,402 --> 00:03:15,694
around 220 or 215.
70
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:19,072
Narrator: It is now rick, marty and craig's hope
71
00:03:19,158 --> 00:03:20,824
that by drilling into the bedrock
72
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:23,202
to depths below 200 feet,
73
00:03:23,245 --> 00:03:25,829
they can pinpoint the vault inside a void
74
00:03:25,915 --> 00:03:28,790
where it is believed to have come to rest.
75
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:33,045
If we were to consider
76
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:36,340
a larger dig,
where would you put it?
77
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:39,676
Terry:
I would put it
over on the eastern side here
78
00:03:39,762 --> 00:03:42,387
-where we get our deeper points.
-Where do you go?
79
00:03:42,473 --> 00:03:43,722
I agree.
80
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:46,683
-You agree with me? Super.
-Yeah. Yeah, I do.
81
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:47,893
You get the rig
back up and running.
82
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:49,102
-Terry: Rig back up and running.
-And we'll,
83
00:03:49,188 --> 00:03:50,854
- we'll move on.
-All right.
84
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:52,064
-See you later.
-Thank you. Yep.
-See you, guys.
85
00:03:52,107 --> 00:03:53,315
-Talk to you later.
-Rick: Take care.
86
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,359
Narrator: While drilling continues
87
00:03:55,402 --> 00:03:57,486
at the money pit...
88
00:03:58,614 --> 00:03:59,821
-Steve g.: Hey, guys. -Rick: Hey, everybody.
89
00:03:59,907 --> 00:04:00,906
-Hello, crew.
-Hey.
90
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,241
Hi there.
91
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:04,076
Narrator: ...Rick, marty,
92
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:06,119
and members of their team have gathered
93
00:04:06,205 --> 00:04:08,080
for a videoconference with cartographer
94
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:11,166
erin helton in the war room.
95
00:04:11,252 --> 00:04:15,003
Erin's made a revelation
about what she deems the cross,
96
00:04:15,089 --> 00:04:16,588
the importance of the cross
to be.
97
00:04:16,632 --> 00:04:18,423
I think you're gonna find it
98
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:20,425
highly, highly interesting
99
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:22,010
if not illuminating.
100
00:04:23,389 --> 00:04:26,515
So, these, I believe,
are your two anchors.
101
00:04:28,185 --> 00:04:30,811
Narrator: One week ago, erin presented the team
102
00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:32,604
with an incredible theory
103
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:36,400
based on a reported 14th century map of oak island
104
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,777
that was given to them in 2016
105
00:04:38,821 --> 00:04:41,613
by the late author zena halpern.
106
00:04:41,657 --> 00:04:45,117
The map, which zena believed had been made
107
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:46,535
by members of the knights templar,
108
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,121
noted various locations on the island,
109
00:04:49,206 --> 00:04:53,417
including two labeled simply as "the anchors."
110
00:04:53,502 --> 00:04:55,294
as an expert in mapmaking,
111
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:57,963
erin suspected that these so-called anchors
112
00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:02,634
might actually be bouldersleft as markers on a master grid
113
00:05:02,678 --> 00:05:07,014
leading to the locationof the money pit treasure vault.
114
00:05:07,099 --> 00:05:10,017
The coordinate
is taking me here.
115
00:05:10,102 --> 00:05:11,935
-Marty: Wow.
-Jack: Wow.
-Alex: That is a rock.
116
00:05:12,021 --> 00:05:13,979
Narrator: When marty and members of the team
117
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:16,315
went to verify the gps coordinates
118
00:05:16,358 --> 00:05:17,691
of the two locations,
119
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:20,485
they were amazed by what they found.
120
00:05:20,571 --> 00:05:22,988
-Alex: I mean,
that's pretty impressive.
-Steve g.: Yeah.
121
00:05:23,073 --> 00:05:26,325
Narrator: Although erin is still working to decipher
122
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,286
the so-called master grid that she thinks
123
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:31,121
will lead them to the treasure's location,
124
00:05:31,206 --> 00:05:33,498
she believes that a find made
125
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:35,792
by the team three years ago at smith's cove
126
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:39,171
could be key to helping her complete the project:
127
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:43,342
The 700-year-old lead cross.
128
00:05:43,385 --> 00:05:46,386
Rick:
We'll let erin tell us
what she deems
129
00:05:46,472 --> 00:05:48,055
the importance of the cross
to be.
130
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:50,432
So, erin,
I'll turn it over to you.
131
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:51,683
Great.
132
00:05:51,727 --> 00:05:53,643
Thank you so much for sending me
133
00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:55,062
that 3d model of the lead cross.
134
00:05:55,147 --> 00:05:56,021
I was successfully able
135
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:58,732
to print myself one.
136
00:05:58,817 --> 00:06:00,025
Right there.
137
00:06:00,110 --> 00:06:01,818
So, I've been able
to demonstrate with this
138
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:03,195
and play with it a little bit.
139
00:06:03,238 --> 00:06:05,197
I believe that the lead cross
140
00:06:05,282 --> 00:06:07,616
is meant to be used in conjunction
141
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:08,784
with a square.
142
00:06:08,869 --> 00:06:11,370
I also provided the 3d model
143
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:12,829
for you guys so you can follow along.
144
00:06:12,915 --> 00:06:14,164
Rick:
That's great.
145
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,459
So, erin,
I'm gonna pass this off
146
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:20,003
to my brother,
because he is uniquely qualified
147
00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:23,548
to go from skeptic to believer.
148
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,258
-Marty: Not so sure
about that characterization.
-Okay.
149
00:06:25,344 --> 00:06:27,052
But I am prepared to try.
150
00:06:27,096 --> 00:06:29,638
All right. Challenge accepted.
151
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:33,016
So, we're actually going
to end up using the square
152
00:06:33,102 --> 00:06:34,851
to draw some particular angles.
153
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:39,689
We're going to be aligning
the square,
154
00:06:39,775 --> 00:06:40,857
or the ruler edge,
155
00:06:40,901 --> 00:06:44,403
against all of the edges
of the cross.
156
00:06:44,488 --> 00:06:48,365
So, from the foot to an arm, arm to the head,
157
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:50,200
head to the other arm,
158
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:52,035
and then arm back to the feet.
159
00:06:52,121 --> 00:06:55,080
Do your best to mark that head,
as well. The square hole.
160
00:06:56,792 --> 00:06:58,792
And now we're gonna
complete our lines
161
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:01,044
as we drew them.
162
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:02,671
So, what you end up with
163
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:04,798
is a very symmetrical-looking
164
00:07:04,883 --> 00:07:07,426
-diamond shape.
-Marty: All right. Yep.
165
00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:09,386
And we can take this one step further. Do you have
166
00:07:09,471 --> 00:07:12,264
-my maps
with the anchors marked?
-Okay.
167
00:07:12,307 --> 00:07:14,516
So, if you have the map in front of you and you have
168
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,268
your tracing paper,
169
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:18,186
you can actually align
those two intersections
170
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:19,604
to your anchors.
171
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:28,405
Marty:
Isn't the little mark I made
172
00:07:28,449 --> 00:07:30,365
through the square of the cross,
173
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:31,950
the head, doesn't that
174
00:07:31,994 --> 00:07:34,035
line up
with the old stone triangle?
175
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:36,455
Yeah.
It runs along the same line.
176
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:39,124
My proposed stone triangle
location does. Yes.
177
00:07:41,003 --> 00:07:44,129
Narrator: In June of 1897,
178
00:07:44,173 --> 00:07:46,965
while exploring the island's southern shore,
179
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:49,926
treasure hunter captain john welling,
180
00:07:50,012 --> 00:07:52,304
working under frederick blair,
181
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:55,432
discovered a formation of large stones in the shape
182
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:57,684
of a three-dimensional triangle.
183
00:07:57,769 --> 00:07:59,603
Even more astonishing
184
00:07:59,688 --> 00:08:02,772
was the fact that the apex pointed north,
185
00:08:02,858 --> 00:08:05,358
directly toward the money pit.
186
00:08:05,444 --> 00:08:07,611
Unfortunately,
187
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:09,863
during the massive excavations conducted
188
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:12,908
by robert dunfield in 1965
189
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:15,494
across the eastern half of oak island,
190
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:18,914
the stone triangle was destroyed,
191
00:08:18,999 --> 00:08:21,333
and the location of the original treasure shaft
192
00:08:21,418 --> 00:08:24,419
was hopelessly lost.
193
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:27,506
It is cool
that this little device
194
00:08:27,591 --> 00:08:28,882
will make 30s, 60s,
195
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:30,842
90s and 45-degree angles.
196
00:08:30,928 --> 00:08:32,344
I could look at this thing
197
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:34,513
all day and all night long
for a year,
198
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:36,890
and I would not
have noticed that.
199
00:08:36,975 --> 00:08:41,311
but is there something
that this shape represents?
200
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:42,979
Erin: Yes, actually.
201
00:08:43,023 --> 00:08:45,482
Basically, my conclusion is
202
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,943
that this religious keepsake
that looks
203
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,653
incredibly irregular might actually be
204
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:51,363
a protractor
hiding in plain sight.
205
00:08:53,408 --> 00:08:56,201
Gary: I always dream about finding
206
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:57,869
a key to a treasure chest,
207
00:08:57,913 --> 00:09:01,957
and this might be the key
to the treasure of oak island.
208
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:05,168
Erin: I do think this is absolutely the key
209
00:09:05,254 --> 00:09:07,462
to when they were bothconstructing the money pit area
210
00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:09,965
and perhaps if people
were coming back to fetch it.
211
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:12,634
Rick: By people
212
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:15,178
looking at things
outside the box,
213
00:09:15,264 --> 00:09:18,223
that is really how this puzzle,
214
00:09:18,308 --> 00:09:19,849
oak island, will get solved.
215
00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:22,352
And she's certainly thinking outside the box.
216
00:09:22,437 --> 00:09:25,355
: So I'm somewhat
vibrating, if you will,
217
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,357
because I think it's gonna be highly relevant
218
00:09:27,442 --> 00:09:30,569
towards solving
this incredible mystery/puzzle.
219
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:34,114
I know there's more
that you're going to reveal.
220
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:36,116
As you proceed,
221
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:38,743
you're going to continue
to reference
222
00:09:38,829 --> 00:09:41,871
- zena halpern's,
material, correct?
-Erin: Yes.
223
00:09:41,957 --> 00:09:43,707
I believe
that she is in possession
224
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,375
of a couple other clues,
225
00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:48,086
and I'm hoping to help,glean light on that context
226
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:50,547
and, help use them
227
00:09:50,591 --> 00:09:52,549
to give you an "x marks the
spot" at that point, as well.
228
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:56,595
If you put an "x" on the ground,
we will get to the bottom of it.
229
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,054
-I guarantee you that.
-Great.
230
00:09:58,140 --> 00:09:59,264
Rick:
Okay.
231
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:00,765
We look forward
to the next time.
232
00:10:00,851 --> 00:10:02,642
-Thanks, everybody,
for participating.
-Rick: Yep.
233
00:10:02,728 --> 00:10:04,185
-Thank you. -Marty: See you later, then.
234
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:06,313
-Doug: Take care. -Rick: Buh-bye.
235
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:09,065
Narrator: Later that morning...
236
00:10:09,151 --> 00:10:11,943
Rick: I'm interested to hear what you have
237
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:14,070
to say about this.
238
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:17,782
Narrator: Rick lagina welcomes geoscientist dr. Ian spooner
239
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:19,284
back to the island
240
00:10:19,328 --> 00:10:22,078
to continue investigating a mysterious feature
241
00:10:22,164 --> 00:10:26,625
in the southeastern corner of the triangle-shaped swamp.
242
00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:28,793
So, what do you want
243
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:30,503
to find out today?
I mean, we're gonna do probing.
244
00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:31,963
-That's all I really understand.
-Ian: Right.
245
00:10:32,049 --> 00:10:34,132
I want to check out
the anomaly area,
246
00:10:34,176 --> 00:10:36,217
-which is right over there.
-Rick: Yep.
247
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:39,638
Because the sonar I did showed
the platform and a drop-off.
248
00:10:40,891 --> 00:10:42,349
What I'm convinced of
249
00:10:42,434 --> 00:10:44,142
is a real feature
exists right here.
250
00:10:45,354 --> 00:10:46,936
Narrator: Five weeks ago,
251
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,772
while conducting sonar scans
252
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:51,358
across this area with local diver tony sampson,
253
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:54,319
dr. Spooner detected what he believes
254
00:10:54,363 --> 00:10:57,405
could be some kind of man-made structure.
255
00:10:57,491 --> 00:10:58,948
Big drop-off. Right here.
256
00:10:59,034 --> 00:11:02,786
-It's like a wall.
-That's fantastic.
257
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:05,664
If we probe and we hit things,
258
00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:07,832
that probe can tell us
whether it's sand,
259
00:11:07,918 --> 00:11:10,001
metal, wood, rock.
260
00:11:10,087 --> 00:11:12,462
It can tell us the depth,
and then it can tell us
261
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:15,590
if it deviates
from that nice, uniform basin.
262
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:18,093
And if it does, then it's
probably been manipulated.
263
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:21,304
Yup. I think
there's still secrets in here,
264
00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:23,348
and there's still things
to know about the swamp.
265
00:11:23,392 --> 00:11:25,850
-Absolutely. That's why
I study these things.
-Yeah.
266
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:28,186
-This has thrown
a few curveballs at me.
-Curveballs?
267
00:11:28,271 --> 00:11:31,314
Yeah. And so, do I expect
to see more curveballs?
268
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,983
Well, I wouldn't have said this
a year ago, but yeah, I do.
269
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:36,152
-Let-let's go find some.
-Let's go, let-let's find
some curveballs.
270
00:11:36,238 --> 00:11:37,737
Let's find some curveballs.
271
00:11:37,823 --> 00:11:40,490
What we're looking for is any reference
272
00:11:40,575 --> 00:11:44,244
to this structure, and dr. Spooner now has
273
00:11:44,329 --> 00:11:46,579
some sense of
274
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:50,542
where to look, to what depths, in what areas, and
275
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:51,626
what we hope to find.
276
00:11:51,712 --> 00:11:54,045
I think it was
277
00:11:54,089 --> 00:11:56,840
-somewhere in there.
-Right in here?
278
00:11:56,925 --> 00:11:58,633
How about
I just start trying here?
279
00:11:58,719 --> 00:12:00,218
Sure.
280
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:05,140
Two meters deep, or more.
281
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:07,058
It just keeps on going.
282
00:12:07,102 --> 00:12:09,561
We're hitting muck.
283
00:12:11,273 --> 00:12:13,732
I'll move it over.
284
00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:16,693
Well, it's-it's three meters
deep right there.
285
00:12:20,615 --> 00:12:22,365
Holy.
286
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:24,409
--what's this?
287
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:31,499
ian: Holy.
288
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:33,585
-What's this?
-Narrator: While investigating
289
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:35,587
the southeast corner
290
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:37,797
of the mysterious triangle-shaped swamp...
291
00:12:37,883 --> 00:12:40,091
-Do you hear that?
-Yeah.
292
00:12:40,135 --> 00:12:41,760
- There's rock here.
293
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:43,887
-that could be it.
-Yeah.
294
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:46,639
...Rick lagina and geoscientist
295
00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:49,559
dr. Ian spooner have just discovered
296
00:12:49,603 --> 00:12:53,229
a flat stone feature below the brackish water and muck.
297
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:54,939
Let's try here.
298
00:12:54,983 --> 00:12:56,775
--rock.
299
00:12:56,818 --> 00:12:58,026
Rock. And it's flat.
300
00:12:58,111 --> 00:13:00,069
It's all exactly
the same depth.
301
00:13:00,155 --> 00:13:02,155
-This is not normal.
302
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,783
-Got to keep going
down that way.
-Okay.
303
00:13:04,868 --> 00:13:07,410
Narrator: Since this rock feature
304
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:10,663
appears to be much largerthan dr. Spooner first thought,
305
00:13:10,749 --> 00:13:14,584
could it be connected to, or be part of,
306
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:16,461
the massive stone-paved feature
307
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:19,589
that the team uncovered in the swamp last year,
308
00:13:19,674 --> 00:13:24,969
and which he scientifically dated to as early as 1200 ad?
309
00:13:25,055 --> 00:13:28,556
I'm gonna just, um,
try the probe right here.
310
00:13:28,642 --> 00:13:30,141
Okay.
311
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:35,438
so, there's stone right here.
312
00:13:44,574 --> 00:13:46,366
--stone.
313
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:49,160
I'm just gonna put a stake
right in there.
314
00:13:52,833 --> 00:13:55,667
so, maybe we'll just try
right in here.
315
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:57,585
Okay.
316
00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:02,841
- geez. Look at that.
-Whoa.
317
00:14:02,884 --> 00:14:04,676
- There's a stone.
318
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,678
Three meters deep right here.
319
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:09,430
A three-meter,
give or take, drop-off.
320
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:11,641
There is.
I mean, we both saw it.
321
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:13,101
So, it's stone
right up to there?
322
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:16,688
Right... Right here.
One foot over.
323
00:14:16,731 --> 00:14:19,983
It is my belief,
at least my initial belief,
324
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:24,863
that it is a road or a pathway
or a platform.
325
00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:28,992
So, what is it doing two or three feet down,
326
00:14:29,077 --> 00:14:31,661
in a swamp, on oak island?
327
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:34,038
But that's what makes
this structure
328
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:37,333
incredibly interesting--
the "why" of it.
329
00:14:40,630 --> 00:14:42,338
-So, it's right here.
-Yeah.
330
00:14:42,424 --> 00:14:45,675
It's almost a perfect line,
331
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,385
because there's a definite
332
00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:50,471
side there
and a definite side right there.
333
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:53,433
It's got to be rock
to the bottom.
334
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:56,185
But it also drops off
to three meters on the sides,
335
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:58,229
so this was built with purpose.
336
00:14:58,315 --> 00:15:00,899
It's huge.
337
00:15:00,942 --> 00:15:03,026
-right.
-I think
338
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:06,070
there's gonna be an abundance
of artifacts here.
339
00:15:06,156 --> 00:15:08,239
Too many people were doing
too much work,
340
00:15:08,325 --> 00:15:10,783
and maybe transporting
341
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:14,370
something from the body
of the swamp to the upland.
342
00:15:14,456 --> 00:15:16,873
But if this was used as a path,
343
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:20,543
you're pointing, generally,
at the lot 15's feature.
344
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:24,088
Right. Well, it'll be
interesting to see what we find
345
00:15:24,132 --> 00:15:26,174
-under that rock.
-Yes.
346
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:27,884
Narrator: Could it be
347
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:30,178
that rick lagina's suspicion is correct?
348
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:34,223
Have he and dr. Spooner discovered a hidden wharf
349
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:36,267
or platform used long ago
350
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,728
to transport cargo from the swamp
351
00:15:38,813 --> 00:15:44,108
to the structure located earlierthis year on lot 15?
352
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:46,110
Well, this is
historically important.
353
00:15:46,154 --> 00:15:48,947
Narrator: Five weeks ago, the team,
354
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:51,074
led by archaeologist david macinnes,
355
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:53,618
a direct descendant of legendary
356
00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:56,204
oak island treasure hunter daniel mcginnis,
357
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:58,122
began investigating what they believe
358
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:00,959
to be a 16th century pine tar kiln,
359
00:16:01,002 --> 00:16:02,919
and which may be connected
360
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:06,506
to the construction of the original money pit.
361
00:16:06,591 --> 00:16:08,800
Is it possible that the rock structure
362
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:12,428
rick and dr. Spooner have located in the swamp could
363
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:14,806
also be linked to that operation?
364
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:18,643
If so, could it also offer new clues
365
00:16:18,687 --> 00:16:21,104
about the 200-foot-long anomaly
366
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:24,232
that the team detected two yearsago with seismic scanning,
367
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:28,152
buried more than 50 feet deep in the middle of the swamp?
368
00:16:28,238 --> 00:16:32,991
One bearing the same size andshape of a large sailing vessel?
369
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:36,369
Whatever feature is here,
if it was built,
370
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:38,329
it's quite substantial.
They would have had
371
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,665
to pour enormous resources
into this.
372
00:16:40,709 --> 00:16:43,418
Yup. So that means
it's got to be excavated.
373
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:45,044
Yes. Exactly.
374
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:47,463
Any discovery in
the eastern corner of the swamp
375
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:48,589
is a big deal, right?
376
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,675
It's-it's been unexplored
377
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,635
by any of the searchers
that we know of.
378
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:55,304
So, whatever you find there
379
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:58,099
could be highly relative to perhaps understanding
380
00:16:58,184 --> 00:17:01,978
the-the money pit, because it's in very close proximity.
381
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:04,981
It's possible that it'll
give us some more information
382
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:07,483
to understand the swamp itself
383
00:17:07,569 --> 00:17:10,528
or its construction
or its purpose.
384
00:17:10,572 --> 00:17:14,032
But that's-that's...
That's remains to be seen.
385
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:17,410
-marty: Hello.
-Rick: Hey.
386
00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:19,370
Dr. Spooner and I have
been out in the swamp,
387
00:17:19,456 --> 00:17:22,540
and I'm gonna let him tell you
what he believes he found.
388
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:24,834
So, what we found was
389
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:29,338
a 20-foot-wide, 70-foot-long...
390
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:32,467
The only way I can describe it
is, it's like a road
391
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:34,010
across the swamp.
392
00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:36,637
It kind of connects
from land to the beach.
393
00:17:36,723 --> 00:17:38,181
It's the biggest feature
I've seen.
394
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:45,396
Rick:
Because we...
395
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:47,940
We didn't dig.
It's not metal-detectable.
396
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:49,776
It would not have shown up
on an em target,
397
00:17:49,861 --> 00:17:51,861
because it's not metal.
398
00:17:51,946 --> 00:17:54,280
It's got about 15 centimeters
of muck on top of it,
399
00:17:54,365 --> 00:17:58,534
which means that it probably
was built back in time.
400
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:01,871
I mean, it just gives more,
I think, more impetus to...
401
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:03,873
To doing some excavation.
402
00:18:07,462 --> 00:18:09,212
-Okay.
-Okeydoke.
403
00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:10,922
-See ya. Bye-bye.
-Bye.
404
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:12,590
Rick: I do believe
405
00:18:12,634 --> 00:18:13,925
the swamp is a keeper of secrets.
406
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:15,426
Ian: Yeah.
407
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,309
Narrator: The following morning,
408
00:18:23,394 --> 00:18:25,269
at the oak island interpretive centre...
409
00:18:25,355 --> 00:18:26,604
Tony: How you doing, guys?
410
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:28,106
We've got something here to show you.
411
00:18:28,149 --> 00:18:30,399
Narrator: ...Brothers rick and marty lagina,
412
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,568
along with marty's son alex,
413
00:18:32,654 --> 00:18:34,779
are joined by dr. Ian spooner
414
00:18:34,823 --> 00:18:37,907
and professional diver tony sampson
415
00:18:37,992 --> 00:18:40,284
to discuss a plan to further investigate
416
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:43,204
the mysterious rock feature in the swamp.
417
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:45,957
However, because they must waitfor the necessary permits
418
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:50,253
to drain the area and excavate,this investigation will focus
419
00:18:50,338 --> 00:18:52,755
on the surrounding ocean waters.
420
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,884
-So, what we're looking at here
is around oak island.
-Marty: Yeah.
421
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:59,554
And what ian's got there
is also a map
422
00:18:59,639 --> 00:19:00,972
of what it would have
looked like
423
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:03,516
going back to 1600 ad.
424
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:07,812
So the idea here is to
go back to these time periods.
425
00:19:07,856 --> 00:19:11,607
1600 ad. We're probably gonna
go back to 1200 as well,
426
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,151
- thinking of the paved area...
-Good.
427
00:19:13,194 --> 00:19:18,322
...And reconstruct what the
shoreline was at that time.
428
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:21,617
It gets back to understanding,
fundamentally, the swamp.
429
00:19:21,703 --> 00:19:24,453
It lends a new perspective
on what could have been possible
430
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:25,538
back then.
431
00:19:25,623 --> 00:19:27,039
Rick:
Wow.
432
00:19:27,125 --> 00:19:29,375
But that wondering will be,
I think, a little bit solved
433
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,919
by us getting out
and doing the sonar work.
434
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:33,171
Perfect.
435
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:35,173
Some of the things
that we found, I think,
436
00:19:35,258 --> 00:19:39,177
seem to suggest that the swamp was connected to the ocean.
437
00:19:39,262 --> 00:19:41,262
So the sonar data that we're getting
438
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:44,182
is to extend that knowledge.
439
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:47,643
Narrator: It is dr. Spooner's hope that if he can find evidence
440
00:19:47,729 --> 00:19:51,564
of the mysterious structure protruding out into the ocean,
441
00:19:51,649 --> 00:19:54,817
he may be able to determine exactly what it is
442
00:19:54,903 --> 00:19:57,403
and what its purpose may have been.
443
00:19:57,488 --> 00:20:01,199
So, what we want to do is
look at the swamp,
444
00:20:01,284 --> 00:20:02,867
which is right here.
445
00:20:02,952 --> 00:20:07,330
This is a projection right here
of a 1600 shoreline.
446
00:20:07,415 --> 00:20:11,167
1200 would likely be
even further out.
447
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:13,586
Because where it's eroded--
448
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:14,837
and we can see that
it's eroded right there.
449
00:20:14,923 --> 00:20:15,922
You can see what's left behind.
450
00:20:16,007 --> 00:20:18,925
It's probably deeper
than it was.
451
00:20:19,010 --> 00:20:22,220
If we project a shoreline out
in the past,
452
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:24,764
then the swamp becomes
a different, um...
453
00:20:24,849 --> 00:20:26,974
It has different utility.
Different purpose.
454
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:29,894
-Okay.
-If I reconstruct
455
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:33,105
what it was like
at 1600 and 1200,
456
00:20:33,191 --> 00:20:34,482
what the island was like,
457
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:37,068
I know the oak island
we will see will be more complex
458
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:38,736
than the one we see now.
459
00:20:38,821 --> 00:20:40,696
Marty:
Yes, it could be all different.
Yeah.
460
00:20:40,782 --> 00:20:43,241
-
- So we've got to go out
and do sonar
461
00:20:43,326 --> 00:20:44,909
to modify the map.
462
00:20:44,994 --> 00:20:46,702
If you know where
the shore was back then,
463
00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:49,372
you know, potentially,
where artifacts might be.
464
00:20:49,457 --> 00:20:52,917
Rick: The value of doing scans around the island is simply
465
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:56,420
that we may get some information
regarding the, the swamp.
466
00:20:56,464 --> 00:21:00,716
As we know, the oceans havecome up about a foot a century.
467
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,344
Is there evidence of workings out there
468
00:21:03,429 --> 00:21:05,721
that we currently are unfamiliar with?
469
00:21:05,807 --> 00:21:07,598
We may get an "aha" moment
out of it.
470
00:21:07,684 --> 00:21:10,559
Well, look, I-I-I can tell you
this, if you pardon the pun.
471
00:21:10,645 --> 00:21:13,062
- I'm aboard.
472
00:21:13,147 --> 00:21:15,773
ian:
And all that we've got to do
is stay focused on
473
00:21:15,858 --> 00:21:17,775
the data as it comes rolling in.
474
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:19,026
Marty:
Take the young guy.
475
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:21,070
Tell me where and when,
and I'll be there.
476
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:23,489
Okay. Tomorrow morning.
477
00:21:23,574 --> 00:21:24,949
make it so.
Get on the boat.
478
00:21:25,034 --> 00:21:26,117
-Let's get some results.
-Ian: We will go. Okay.
479
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,618
-Marty: Perfect.
-Tony: Fantastic.
480
00:21:27,704 --> 00:21:29,620
-See you in the morning, alex.
-Marty: Thank you.
481
00:21:33,042 --> 00:21:33,958
Ry:
Looks like the guys are on the way.
482
00:21:34,043 --> 00:21:35,126
Steve g.: Yeah.
483
00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:36,836
Gary: I'm looking forward to this.
484
00:21:36,921 --> 00:21:38,462
Narrator: Following his meeting
485
00:21:38,506 --> 00:21:40,172
at the interpretive centre...
486
00:21:40,258 --> 00:21:41,799
All right, chaps.
487
00:21:41,843 --> 00:21:43,342
That's impressive.
488
00:21:43,428 --> 00:21:46,304
Don't take a knife
to a gunfight.
489
00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:50,599
...Rick lagina, along with oak island historian doug crowell,
490
00:21:50,685 --> 00:21:52,601
metal detection expert gary drayton,
491
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:54,645
and surveyor steve guptill,
492
00:21:54,689 --> 00:21:56,689
arrive at lot 15,
493
00:21:56,774 --> 00:21:59,692
located near the eastern edge of the swamp.
494
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:03,195
So, this is
all about the ringbolts, right?
495
00:22:03,281 --> 00:22:04,822
Gary:
Exactly.
496
00:22:04,907 --> 00:22:06,532
Like so many things
on oak island,
497
00:22:06,617 --> 00:22:08,743
you've heard
about the 90 foot stone,
498
00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:09,994
these ringbolts,
499
00:22:10,038 --> 00:22:12,413
-and no one's ever seen 'em.
-No.
500
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:13,706
For a long time.
501
00:22:13,791 --> 00:22:15,041
Well, that ends today,
502
00:22:15,126 --> 00:22:16,625
- 'cause we are gonna find 'em.
503
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:18,419
can't ask for more than that.
504
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,087
Rick:
You've come up with an idea
505
00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:22,173
- exactly where to look?
-Steve g.:
506
00:22:22,216 --> 00:22:24,633
Doug and I took one
of dan's surveys,
507
00:22:24,719 --> 00:22:26,927
and we calculated the scale
and overlaid it.
508
00:22:27,013 --> 00:22:28,387
So, we're gonna start
at the coordinates.
509
00:22:28,473 --> 00:22:29,555
We're gonna hope it's there.
510
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,182
And if it's not,
we're gonna work slowly
511
00:22:31,267 --> 00:22:33,017
northwest with gary.
512
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:36,020
Narrator: After referencing a survey map of the area
513
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:38,230
between the swamp and lot 15
514
00:22:38,316 --> 00:22:41,984
made by dan blankenship back in the late 1960s,
515
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:45,863
rick and the team are hopingto find evidence of a discovery
516
00:22:45,948 --> 00:22:49,408
reported to dan byrival treasure hunter fred nolan
517
00:22:49,494 --> 00:22:51,369
that may be directly connected
518
00:22:51,454 --> 00:22:54,872
to man-made workings in the swamp.
519
00:22:54,957 --> 00:22:56,874
The assumption we're making is
520
00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:59,085
that there should be
a substantial boulder there
521
00:22:59,170 --> 00:23:00,711
for these things
to be anchored into.
522
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:03,589
So that's what the ringbolts
are in. They're in boulders.
523
00:23:03,674 --> 00:23:05,341
-Yeah.
-Rick: Okeydoke.
524
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:07,218
-Let's go find something.
-Okay, mate.
525
00:23:07,303 --> 00:23:12,264
Narrator: While investigatinghis oak island property in 1969,
526
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:15,559
the late fred nolan claimed to have discovered
527
00:23:15,645 --> 00:23:18,396
several iron ringbolts embedded in boulders
528
00:23:18,481 --> 00:23:20,940
near the eastern bank of the swamp.
529
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:23,734
Shortly after, he was stunned to recover
530
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:26,904
numerous pieces of a large sailing vessel,
531
00:23:26,989 --> 00:23:29,448
including the scuppers and part of a mast,
532
00:23:29,534 --> 00:23:31,909
within the swamp itself.
533
00:23:31,994 --> 00:23:35,830
These finds convinced fred that the ringbolts
534
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:38,541
may have been used to dock a treasure galleon,
535
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:41,210
and that the swamp was artificially created
536
00:23:41,254 --> 00:23:43,504
in order to hide it.
537
00:23:43,589 --> 00:23:48,300
Rick:The long-sought-after ringboltsis important because
538
00:23:48,386 --> 00:23:50,136
fred used the ringbolts as his--
539
00:23:50,221 --> 00:23:52,138
one of his major
reference lines.
540
00:23:52,223 --> 00:23:55,641
And it directed him to all kinds of things.
541
00:23:55,726 --> 00:23:57,101
That's what we're hoping for.
542
00:23:57,186 --> 00:23:59,437
The one puzzle piece
that will fit,
543
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,982
and we'll go, "wow.
That's what that means."
544
00:24:03,067 --> 00:24:07,027
narrator: Although fred removed the ringbolts that he discovered,
545
00:24:07,113 --> 00:24:10,656
his son tom nolan has confided to rick
546
00:24:10,741 --> 00:24:15,578
that he believes one or more may still exist in the area.
547
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:17,288
So, let's start here.
548
00:24:17,373 --> 00:24:19,707
The radius that I've calculated
is gonna loop out.
549
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,250
-Gary: Okay.
-Okay? So I'll get out
of your way.
550
00:24:21,335 --> 00:24:23,461
-I'm gonna go to the next
location.
-Okay.
551
00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:33,637
-rick: Anything?
-Gary: No.
552
00:24:38,603 --> 00:24:41,145
steve g.:
There we go.
Take a look at this.
553
00:24:42,315 --> 00:24:44,690
Doug:
This one here looks big enough
to be an anchor rock.
554
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:45,858
Steve g.:
Yeah.
555
00:24:45,943 --> 00:24:47,776
What are you guys
up to over there?
556
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:48,944
We have some pretty substantial
boulders
557
00:24:49,030 --> 00:24:51,280
over here that we need
to be checked.
558
00:24:51,365 --> 00:24:53,282
Yeah, we'll check 'em
with the ctx.
559
00:24:56,037 --> 00:24:59,747
This is what we should be
looking for, a lot of boulders.
560
00:24:59,832 --> 00:25:03,250
Just seems like the rocks that
should have a ringbolt in 'em.
561
00:25:04,962 --> 00:25:07,505
- yeah, these two are
really promising.
562
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:10,508
And there's a target here.
563
00:25:10,551 --> 00:25:12,801
--it's iron.
564
00:25:14,055 --> 00:25:16,222
Eight- or nine-inch reading.
565
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:18,015
-Yeah? Dig?
-Yeah, please.
566
00:25:20,311 --> 00:25:21,352
Well, there's something
there, gary.
567
00:25:22,605 --> 00:25:23,521
Do it slow.
568
00:25:26,817 --> 00:25:29,151
-There, gary, it should be out.
-All right, mate.
569
00:25:29,195 --> 00:25:30,486
I'll check it and see.
570
00:25:37,078 --> 00:25:38,536
Steve g.:
Is it out?
571
00:25:41,249 --> 00:25:45,751
Wow. I was not expecting that.
572
00:25:45,836 --> 00:25:47,878
You know what this is?
573
00:25:47,964 --> 00:25:50,881
It's a, definitely, in my
opinion, part of an old
574
00:25:50,967 --> 00:25:53,384
cast-iron stove
or a cooking pot.
575
00:25:55,096 --> 00:25:57,304
I can see now--
look, you see that flat piece?
576
00:25:57,390 --> 00:26:00,933
That was what you
grabbed hold of.
577
00:26:01,018 --> 00:26:02,935
And this would have fit
along the front
578
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:06,313
of an old kind of like
a pot-belly stove.
579
00:26:06,399 --> 00:26:08,107
This is an old piece
of iron, mate.
580
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:11,569
When fred moved the stone
just up the hill here from us,
581
00:26:11,654 --> 00:26:14,405
he found parts of
an old cast-iron stove under it.
582
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:17,324
He called it a ship's stove.
583
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:19,868
I could see this off a ship.
Especially being here
584
00:26:19,954 --> 00:26:21,787
on the edge of the swamp.
I really can.
585
00:26:21,872 --> 00:26:24,873
Narrator: A piece of a ship's stove?
586
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:28,711
In 1981, while surveying his property,
587
00:26:28,796 --> 00:26:32,172
fred nolan discovered six large boulders
588
00:26:32,258 --> 00:26:34,216
that make up the megalithic formation
589
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,969
now known as nolan's cross.
590
00:26:37,054 --> 00:26:39,346
Believing that the boulders might be covering
591
00:26:39,432 --> 00:26:41,307
buried treasure caches,
592
00:26:41,392 --> 00:26:43,350
fred dug beneath several of them.
593
00:26:43,436 --> 00:26:45,644
Although he found no treasure,
594
00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:48,981
he did discover fragments of an iron stove that,
595
00:26:49,066 --> 00:26:52,610
based on further research, were believed to have come
596
00:26:52,653 --> 00:26:54,903
from a 17th century galleon ship.
597
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:58,282
If rick and the team can verify
598
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,326
that this iron fragment also came
599
00:27:00,411 --> 00:27:04,121
from a large sailing vessel, it could be a valuable clue
600
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:06,582
that might help identify who was behind
601
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:08,459
the oak island mystery.
602
00:27:09,670 --> 00:27:11,587
Gary:
Nice, cool find.
603
00:27:11,672 --> 00:27:14,798
But just like any interesting
piece of iron we find,
604
00:27:14,884 --> 00:27:17,885
we know the guy who will tell us
exactly how old it is
605
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:20,095
and where it comes from:
Carmen legge.
606
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:22,473
Rick:
He'll certainly have an opinion.
607
00:27:22,516 --> 00:27:24,141
It's really cool 'cause
we went looking for one part
608
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:25,559
of the mystery, the ringbolts,
609
00:27:25,645 --> 00:27:27,311
and we might have found
a fragment of another part
610
00:27:27,396 --> 00:27:29,688
-of the mystery.
-Makes you wonder what else
is in here, right?
611
00:27:29,774 --> 00:27:31,273
There could well be some more
612
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,651
interesting artifacts
in this area.
613
00:27:33,736 --> 00:27:35,778
Rick: Okay, let's find it.
614
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:42,284
Narrator: As a new day begins...
615
00:27:42,370 --> 00:27:45,037
Where are we right-right now?
This hole.
616
00:27:45,122 --> 00:27:47,498
Well, we're not finished yet.
They got a ways to go, so...
617
00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:50,959
...And as the team continues their drilling operation
618
00:27:51,045 --> 00:27:52,378
in the money pit area...
619
00:27:53,464 --> 00:27:55,881
...Some 60 miles north of oak island,
620
00:27:55,966 --> 00:27:59,343
in centreville, nova scotia...
621
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:01,679
-Jack: Hey, carmen.
-Carmen: Well, looky here.
622
00:28:01,764 --> 00:28:05,683
...Alex lagina, along with his cousin peter fornetti
623
00:28:05,726 --> 00:28:08,727
and jack begley, arrive at northville farm.
624
00:28:08,813 --> 00:28:11,188
They've arranged for blacksmithing expert
625
00:28:11,232 --> 00:28:14,024
carmen legge to inspect the iron fragment
626
00:28:14,110 --> 00:28:17,528
the team found one day ago on lot 15.
627
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:19,488
What you got today?
628
00:28:19,532 --> 00:28:22,366
All right, this was
actually found
629
00:28:22,410 --> 00:28:25,035
right at the edge of the swamp.
630
00:28:35,256 --> 00:28:38,507
That's what we were
thinking, too. Stove part.
631
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:42,386
It's the proper thickness, too.
632
00:28:49,645 --> 00:28:51,854
Where would you find
something like that?
633
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:55,733
For warmth?
634
00:29:05,411 --> 00:29:07,911
What-what time would that
have been in use?
635
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:16,253
-Early 1700s?
-Yeah.
636
00:29:19,008 --> 00:29:20,632
- Wow.
-yeah.
637
00:29:20,718 --> 00:29:24,595
Narrator: A ship's stove, dating to the early 1700s?
638
00:29:24,638 --> 00:29:28,265
Could it be more evidence of someone sailing to oak island
639
00:29:28,309 --> 00:29:30,184
more than three centuries ago
640
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:33,312
to hide something of great value?
641
00:29:33,397 --> 00:29:35,939
Well, I think we should
get back out there and see
642
00:29:36,025 --> 00:29:37,941
if we can find more of this.
643
00:29:38,027 --> 00:29:39,818
Well, it's been a great visit,
as always.
644
00:29:39,904 --> 00:29:42,613
-Very good.
-We know a lot more
than we came here with.
645
00:29:42,656 --> 00:29:44,072
Jack:
Thanks again, carmen.
646
00:29:44,158 --> 00:29:45,616
Alex: Thank you.
647
00:29:45,659 --> 00:29:46,950
We'll see you again soon.
648
00:29:49,789 --> 00:29:51,705
Narrator: Later that day...
649
00:29:51,791 --> 00:29:53,624
Alex: Looking forward to a day on the water.
650
00:29:53,709 --> 00:29:55,292
Couldn't have picked
a better day for it.
651
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:57,169
Narrator: ...After returning to oak island,
652
00:29:57,254 --> 00:30:00,088
alex lagina joins dr. Ian spooner,
653
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:02,216
along with tony sampson, at the dock
654
00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:04,676
belonging to fred nolan's son tom
655
00:30:04,762 --> 00:30:07,304
on the northern shore of oak island.
656
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:10,224
They will be making their way to the swamp
657
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:13,352
in order to conduct sonar scansalong the coastline
658
00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:16,480
in search of more evidence of the massive rock structure
659
00:30:16,524 --> 00:30:20,526
found two days ago by dr. Spooner and rick lagina.
660
00:30:20,611 --> 00:30:24,112
As they navigate around the island to the south shore,
661
00:30:24,198 --> 00:30:26,865
they will also be running scansto look for
662
00:30:26,951 --> 00:30:29,993
any other important clues that may be helpful in solving
663
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:33,330
the 225-year-old mystery.
664
00:30:35,251 --> 00:30:37,835
-So what's the plan?
-What we're trying to do
is trying to find
665
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,670
old shorelines,
paleo shorelines.
666
00:30:39,713 --> 00:30:42,172
You see this brown line
around oak island here,
667
00:30:42,258 --> 00:30:45,133
that's dropping sea level
down to what we thought
668
00:30:45,219 --> 00:30:47,511
existed in 1600.
669
00:30:47,555 --> 00:30:51,557
If we're thinking that the
island was used back then,
670
00:30:51,642 --> 00:30:53,058
if there was a wharf
or anything like that,
671
00:30:53,143 --> 00:30:54,643
it would be at that shoreline,
672
00:30:54,728 --> 00:30:57,187
not where the shoreline
of today is.
673
00:30:57,231 --> 00:30:59,398
Exactly. And so, you know,
whether it's looking
674
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:02,109
for artifacts, whether
it's looking for features,
675
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:04,152
we can go back,
reconstruct that shoreline,
676
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:05,529
and look for features.
677
00:31:05,614 --> 00:31:08,198
What we're gonna be
doing today is we're gonna be
678
00:31:08,242 --> 00:31:11,702
going around smith's cove,
around isaac's point here,
679
00:31:11,745 --> 00:31:15,706
and then into the south shore
cove area by the swamp.
680
00:31:15,791 --> 00:31:18,208
So that's where we're gonna do
some scanning in there.
681
00:31:18,252 --> 00:31:20,210
Well, that's great, guys.
Let's, let's get out there.
682
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:21,253
-Ian: Yeah.
-Let's check this stuff out.
683
00:31:21,338 --> 00:31:22,462
Tony:
Come on board, chaps.
684
00:31:22,548 --> 00:31:24,131
I'll start her up, ian.
685
00:31:25,259 --> 00:31:26,341
we're all good.
686
00:31:27,344 --> 00:31:28,886
Narrator: In order to conduct
687
00:31:28,971 --> 00:31:31,179
a comprehensive scan of the island's coastline,
688
00:31:31,265 --> 00:31:34,057
dr. Spooner has equipped tony's boat
689
00:31:34,143 --> 00:31:36,685
with three different sonar devices:
690
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:38,854
A down-imaging scanner
691
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:42,190
focusing on the seabed directly beneath the boat,
692
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:46,194
a side-imaging scanner focusingon either side of the boat,
693
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:49,406
and, finally, a low-frequency scanner
694
00:31:49,491 --> 00:31:52,743
capable of penetrating the thicksilt on the ocean floor
695
00:31:52,786 --> 00:31:57,080
where artifacts or valuable clues could be buried.
696
00:31:58,375 --> 00:31:59,958
Tony:
Target area, ian.
697
00:32:00,044 --> 00:32:02,586
-Ian: Okay.
-We'll move closer to the shore.
698
00:32:02,671 --> 00:32:05,047
-We'll be about
three meters' depth, ian.
-Yep.
699
00:32:05,132 --> 00:32:07,174
So, we should
watch this carefully.
700
00:32:19,104 --> 00:32:20,354
Alex:
Nothing so far.
701
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:22,230
Pretty shallow, though.
702
00:32:24,902 --> 00:32:27,736
-If we can just kind of go out
a little bit further, tony.
-Tony: Okay.
703
00:32:39,041 --> 00:32:40,415
Ian:
That's good. That's good.
704
00:32:40,501 --> 00:32:41,959
Well, let's see
what we can find.
705
00:32:42,002 --> 00:32:44,753
Tony:
You got any silt here,
buddy? Or...
706
00:32:44,838 --> 00:32:46,421
Yeah.
707
00:32:49,551 --> 00:32:52,302
-Alex: I don't see
anything on this.
-Yeah, I know. It's featureless.
708
00:32:58,978 --> 00:33:00,310
What about that right there?
709
00:33:01,355 --> 00:33:02,980
Ian:
That is...
710
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:04,481
What the hell is that? Yes.
711
00:33:04,566 --> 00:33:06,316
So, that-- yeah,
what the hell is that?
712
00:33:06,402 --> 00:33:08,986
-Tony: That's cool.
-I've never seen anything
like that.
713
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:10,821
It's sticking straight out.
714
00:33:10,906 --> 00:33:13,156
Alex:
Yeah, it's flat
and then it's like a tower.
715
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,158
Yeah, but that looks like
a ship, for god's sake.
716
00:33:16,286 --> 00:33:17,494
Alex:
Wow.
717
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,917
Tony:
Nothing sticks up like that
for no reason at all?
718
00:33:24,003 --> 00:33:25,711
Out of the silt.
719
00:33:25,796 --> 00:33:27,629
Tony:
In the middle of nowhere.
720
00:33:27,673 --> 00:33:30,173
And we're-- look where we are.
Right off the boulderless beach.
721
00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:33,969
Narrator: Off the northern shoreline of oak island,
722
00:33:34,013 --> 00:33:36,513
alex lagina, dr. Ian spooner
723
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:40,892
and tony sampson have made whatcould be an important discovery.
724
00:33:40,978 --> 00:33:43,687
Ian:
This place was used
by a lot of people.
725
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:47,441
-Yeah.
-So, if there was a boat
that either sunk or was sunk,
726
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:49,943
there should be a fair bit
of that activity around.
727
00:33:50,029 --> 00:33:53,697
Yeah. Whoever came here,
they didn't come in one ship.
728
00:33:53,741 --> 00:33:55,866
- You know?
They came in a, a fleet. -
729
00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:58,201
And, you know,
some of it's still
730
00:33:58,245 --> 00:34:00,037
on the bottom now,
waiting to be found.
731
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:03,081
Narrator: A possible shipwreck?
732
00:34:03,167 --> 00:34:05,709
Just off the coast of oak island?
733
00:34:05,753 --> 00:34:09,880
Although the waters of mahone bay that surround oak island
734
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:12,591
are known to have been a major thruway for sailing vessels
735
00:34:12,676 --> 00:34:16,053
dating back more than three centuries,
736
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:20,432
if this is indeed a shipwreck,could it be related in some way
737
00:34:20,517 --> 00:34:24,728
to the 225-year-old treasure mystery?
738
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:27,564
Now, this position
has always interested me
739
00:34:27,608 --> 00:34:29,900
because it's a shallow rock ledge just below the surface.
740
00:34:29,985 --> 00:34:34,404
There's a reason there's 25,000shipwrecks around this coast.
741
00:34:34,490 --> 00:34:36,031
It's because of these tricky areas.
742
00:34:36,116 --> 00:34:38,158
And so, that would have been
an area
743
00:34:38,243 --> 00:34:41,411
where a ship coming
into here could have wrecked.
744
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:45,123
Ian: So, to have it sticking up,
745
00:34:45,209 --> 00:34:47,626
there's only a few things
that can do that.
746
00:34:47,711 --> 00:34:50,087
-And you just can't get them
in the middle of a basin.
-Tony: No.
747
00:34:50,172 --> 00:34:52,255
At 12 meters.
It's almost impossible.
748
00:34:52,341 --> 00:34:55,008
So, is it ballast?
Is it... What is it?
749
00:34:55,094 --> 00:34:56,343
Alex:
Yeah.
750
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:57,719
I mean, I'd love to come back
and do a jump
751
00:34:57,805 --> 00:34:59,012
on that, alex.
What do you think?
752
00:34:59,098 --> 00:35:00,722
Yeah. If we can find it,
let's dive it.
753
00:35:00,808 --> 00:35:02,641
Sounds great to me, mate.
754
00:35:02,726 --> 00:35:05,435
Alex: Right as we're passing boulderless beach,
755
00:35:05,521 --> 00:35:08,230
we both see this really weird kind of spike up
756
00:35:08,273 --> 00:35:09,773
and a plateau and another spike down.
757
00:35:09,858 --> 00:35:11,691
Like nothing we've seen around the island, ever.
758
00:35:11,777 --> 00:35:13,485
It could be the remnants of a ship.
759
00:35:13,570 --> 00:35:15,320
We just don't know,
but that's why we need
760
00:35:15,405 --> 00:35:16,613
to investigate further.
761
00:35:22,329 --> 00:35:24,287
We're moving more towards
the swamp area now.
762
00:35:24,331 --> 00:35:25,997
So, that's-- that's what
you should be getting...
763
00:35:26,083 --> 00:35:28,125
-Alex: That's what
we're seeing. Yep.
-Ian: Right.
764
00:35:28,168 --> 00:35:29,459
And we can see it
beautifully here.
765
00:35:29,545 --> 00:35:31,378
So, what's kind of
very interesting
766
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:34,631
I-in terms of what we're doing,
is we're picking up these points
767
00:35:34,716 --> 00:35:36,466
where it's highly erosive.
768
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:38,301
We see a lot of boulders.
Huge boulders.
769
00:35:38,345 --> 00:35:42,347
And we can, I think, project
land a little further out.
770
00:35:42,432 --> 00:35:44,724
Tony:
Well, this is interesting,
771
00:35:44,810 --> 00:35:46,351
'cause we're going back
400 years.
772
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,854
Chances are this was
the beach on oak island.
773
00:35:48,939 --> 00:35:50,856
Alex:
I'm seeing
a lot of rocks down here.
774
00:35:50,941 --> 00:35:53,441
-Ian: Yeah.
-And I'm seeing
775
00:35:53,527 --> 00:35:55,360
maybe something even larger
just on the,
776
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:57,320
kind of perimeter of what
we're scanning right now.
777
00:35:57,364 --> 00:35:58,822
Yeah, it's right-- we're coming
right up to it right there.
778
00:35:58,907 --> 00:36:01,825
There's something very...
There's something here.
779
00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:03,869
Alex:
What's that?
780
00:36:03,954 --> 00:36:05,620
-I have no idea.
-Hey, tony?
781
00:36:05,706 --> 00:36:08,665
-Can you see this?
-Tony: Holy smoke-- okay.
782
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:14,171
What I'll do is I'll come back
20 meters on that side.
783
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,891
-Okay. You're
on the line now, guys.
-All right.
784
00:36:25,976 --> 00:36:27,851
Right, we can see it. We're
coming up on the structure now.
785
00:36:29,271 --> 00:36:30,937
It should be right about now.
786
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:33,356
-There.
-Alex: Yep.
See that line right there?
787
00:36:33,442 --> 00:36:35,317
Ian:
Boom. Like, it looks
like a line.
788
00:36:35,402 --> 00:36:37,360
Like a line that we're following
here. Edge of the swamp.
789
00:36:37,446 --> 00:36:39,196
-Parallel to the old shore.
-Ian: Yeah.
790
00:36:41,825 --> 00:36:43,450
Ian:
This might be evidence
791
00:36:43,535 --> 00:36:44,701
of a human-made structure.
792
00:36:44,786 --> 00:36:46,578
The remnants of an old wharf.
793
00:36:46,663 --> 00:36:48,330
Something like that.
794
00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:51,708
Narrator: A wharf-like structure?
795
00:36:51,793 --> 00:36:55,545
Just off the south shore,right near the oak island swamp?
796
00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:58,548
Could it be connected to the mysteriously
797
00:36:58,634 --> 00:37:02,385
uniform feature rick lagina and dr. Spooner found
798
00:37:02,471 --> 00:37:04,930
just two days ago?
799
00:37:05,015 --> 00:37:08,725
Ian:
What I can do, I think,
is really refine this map.
800
00:37:08,769 --> 00:37:10,310
You got to-- you probably
have to dive it.
801
00:37:10,395 --> 00:37:12,854
-It's worth a look, up close.
-Alex: Yeah.
802
00:37:12,940 --> 00:37:14,564
This feature on the south side
of the island
803
00:37:14,608 --> 00:37:17,901
is a square-shaped anomaly
that we think might be,
804
00:37:17,986 --> 00:37:19,569
the remnants of an old wharf.
805
00:37:19,655 --> 00:37:22,030
This lines up with what the island used to look like
806
00:37:22,115 --> 00:37:24,574
before it was eroded.
807
00:37:24,618 --> 00:37:25,867
So, if you're going
to build a wharf,
808
00:37:25,953 --> 00:37:28,161
that's where and why
you would have built it.
809
00:37:28,247 --> 00:37:31,206
Ian:So, we got everything.I think we've got all the lines.
810
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:32,582
W-we've got enough data.
811
00:37:32,668 --> 00:37:33,917
Alex:
Well, it's been
a good day, guys.
812
00:37:33,961 --> 00:37:35,961
We-we know a lot more
than when we set out.
813
00:37:36,046 --> 00:37:38,755
So, let's,
let's head back to the dock
814
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,924
and tell the guys
what we learned.
815
00:37:41,009 --> 00:37:42,550
Tony: Fantastic. Will do.
816
00:37:42,636 --> 00:37:44,594
Alex: I love it.
817
00:37:47,849 --> 00:37:50,517
After completing their sonar
scanning operation
818
00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:53,436
off the north and south shores of oak island...
819
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,397
-Alex: Hey, guys.
-Tony: Hey, guys. How you doing?
820
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,524
-Good. How are you?
-Good.
821
00:37:57,609 --> 00:38:01,403
...Alex lagina and professionaldiver tony sampson
822
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:04,239
join rick, marty and other members of the team
823
00:38:04,324 --> 00:38:07,284
at the interpretive centre to share their report.
824
00:38:07,369 --> 00:38:08,910
- So, did you guys go swimming?
825
00:38:08,996 --> 00:38:10,787
no. No, we didn't.
826
00:38:10,831 --> 00:38:13,999
We, we and dr. Spooner
took the boat out.
827
00:38:14,084 --> 00:38:16,251
We were trying to do
a bathymetric survey
828
00:38:16,336 --> 00:38:18,878
around the island to say, okay,
where has it eroded
829
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:21,298
and where has it deposited over
the last couple hundred years?
830
00:38:21,383 --> 00:38:23,800
The goal is to put
a map together
831
00:38:23,844 --> 00:38:26,511
of what the island would've
looked like in the year 1600
832
00:38:26,596 --> 00:38:29,472
-and-and possibly
also in the year 1200. Right.
-1200. Yeah.
833
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:32,225
- Did you get good data?
-Alex: We did.
834
00:38:32,311 --> 00:38:34,102
Um, we have a, we have a map
that we could
835
00:38:34,187 --> 00:38:35,854
kind of show him where we went?
836
00:38:35,939 --> 00:38:38,106
-Any surprises?
-Yeah, there were.
837
00:38:38,191 --> 00:38:39,149
- Yeah. Yeah.
838
00:38:39,234 --> 00:38:40,650
- really?
-Alex: So,
839
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:42,277
-everything was coming along.
-Yeah.
840
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:44,029
Alex:
And then... Do you want
to tell him what happened?
841
00:38:44,114 --> 00:38:46,656
Well, that was--
it was the weirdest thing.
842
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,992
- You've got a flat,
sandy bottom... -
843
00:38:49,077 --> 00:38:50,827
...And then all of a sudden
there's structure
844
00:38:50,871 --> 00:38:52,787
-and then there's an anomaly.
-Yeah.
845
00:38:53,915 --> 00:38:55,248
So, maybe it's part
of a shipwreck.
846
00:38:55,334 --> 00:38:56,833
- Wow.
-Jack: Wow.
847
00:38:56,877 --> 00:38:58,418
Alex:
We do know
848
00:38:58,503 --> 00:39:00,128
that the surrounding area
is flat.
849
00:39:00,213 --> 00:39:02,130
- How deep is it?
-She's 30 feet.
850
00:39:02,215 --> 00:39:04,799
-I see.
-Jack: Interesting.
851
00:39:04,885 --> 00:39:06,009
Tony:
Yeah.
852
00:39:06,053 --> 00:39:08,553
-Marty: Is that it?
-Alex: Well, no.
853
00:39:08,638 --> 00:39:09,804
Just coming off the--
the swamp
854
00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:10,847
by where the stone triangle
855
00:39:10,932 --> 00:39:13,099
used to be,
you get lots of evidence
856
00:39:13,185 --> 00:39:15,143
that that has been eroded.
857
00:39:15,228 --> 00:39:17,479
The other thing we found there
was a-a square-like structure
858
00:39:17,522 --> 00:39:19,564
just-just off there, as well.
859
00:39:19,649 --> 00:39:21,941
Off the southern shore?
860
00:39:22,027 --> 00:39:23,818
-Yeah.
-Rick: What'd it look like?
861
00:39:23,904 --> 00:39:25,487
Tony:
So, it was probably about
862
00:39:25,572 --> 00:39:27,405
eight feet by eight feet, rick.
863
00:39:27,491 --> 00:39:31,201
But it-it definitely had
a linear feature to it, as well.
864
00:39:31,244 --> 00:39:32,827
Well, it's a square-shaped
something.
865
00:39:32,913 --> 00:39:33,995
Doug:
In the old aerial photos,
866
00:39:34,081 --> 00:39:36,706
there's what looks like...
867
00:39:36,792 --> 00:39:38,708
It resembles an old wharf.
868
00:39:38,794 --> 00:39:41,586
It looks like
a very rectangular pattern
869
00:39:41,671 --> 00:39:43,797
that runs out from the,
from the point.
870
00:39:43,882 --> 00:39:45,340
Tony:
If we find those,
871
00:39:45,425 --> 00:39:48,051
um, like, small stones,
like, it was a cribbed wharf,
872
00:39:48,095 --> 00:39:49,552
they may even be part
of a timber structure
873
00:39:49,638 --> 00:39:51,930
-down there as well.
-Wow.
874
00:39:52,015 --> 00:39:53,807
Rick: I-I think we all know that there are
875
00:39:53,892 --> 00:39:55,934
man-made structures
in the swamp.
876
00:39:56,019 --> 00:39:58,019
But, you know, where are they built?
877
00:39:58,063 --> 00:40:01,731
You know, do they go out into the, intertidal zone?
878
00:40:01,817 --> 00:40:05,151
Whatever results are-are derived
from this are good results.
879
00:40:05,237 --> 00:40:06,569
It's good data.
880
00:40:06,655 --> 00:40:08,571
The bottom line is,
dr. Spooner ought to be able
881
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,073
to give us a picture
of this island,
882
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:13,785
of what it looked like in 1600
and what it looked like in 1200?
883
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:15,537
-From this data?
-From-from the details we got,
yeah, for sure.
884
00:40:15,622 --> 00:40:17,956
Well, I'm keenly interested
in that.
885
00:40:18,959 --> 00:40:20,458
Well, it sounds
like it's worth a dive.
886
00:40:20,544 --> 00:40:22,001
- For god's sake, yeah.
-Yeah.
887
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:23,545
Marty:
Well, as rick always says, then,
888
00:40:23,588 --> 00:40:25,588
"eyes and fins on the ground."
889
00:40:25,674 --> 00:40:27,715
--there you go.
890
00:40:27,801 --> 00:40:31,428
-You have one really giant
mystery to go figure out.
-Tony: Yes.
891
00:40:31,513 --> 00:40:35,014
And you got your-your big
eight-by-eight target there.
892
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:36,766
And so, you know, go-go do it.
893
00:40:36,852 --> 00:40:39,686
You know, it's like diving
in the money pit, right?
894
00:40:39,771 --> 00:40:41,980
The prime directive
is stay safe.
895
00:40:42,065 --> 00:40:44,357
-Excellent. Will do.
-All right.
896
00:40:44,443 --> 00:40:45,942
Let's get out of here.
Let's call it a day.
897
00:40:45,986 --> 00:40:48,069
-Rick: Okay. I think we're done.
-Tony: Excellent.
898
00:40:49,114 --> 00:40:50,780
Narrator: For rick, marty
899
00:40:50,866 --> 00:40:53,491
and the devoted members of their team,
900
00:40:53,577 --> 00:40:55,952
a year that began with great challenges
901
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:58,121
that they never could have anticipated
902
00:40:58,206 --> 00:41:00,081
continues to yield new discoveries
903
00:41:00,167 --> 00:41:03,251
both on and around the island
904
00:41:03,336 --> 00:41:06,921
that may soon prove the 225-year-old mystery
905
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:12,093
is more complex and profound than anyone ever knew.
906
00:41:12,179 --> 00:41:15,305
Does the triangle-shaped swamp hold the key
907
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:18,016
to unlocking the ultimate answers?
908
00:41:18,101 --> 00:41:21,478
Or could it be, just like the money pit,
909
00:41:21,563 --> 00:41:24,772
only one of oak island's incredible enigmas
910
00:41:24,858 --> 00:41:27,275
that will hold onto its secrets
911
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,987
until a deadly curse is finally satisfied?
912
00:41:34,493 --> 00:41:37,577
Next time on the curse of oak island...
913
00:41:37,662 --> 00:41:38,661
Gary:
Here we go.
914
00:41:38,747 --> 00:41:40,246
What does that remind you of?
915
00:41:40,332 --> 00:41:42,165
It looks like an enormous key.
916
00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:45,835
Doug:
I saw a rock mound
that doesn't look natural to me.
917
00:41:45,921 --> 00:41:47,837
-What is this thing?
-I ain't got the foggiest.
918
00:41:47,923 --> 00:41:50,006
It's like some crazy
irving work.
919
00:41:50,091 --> 00:41:52,300
It's a man-made structure.
920
00:41:52,344 --> 00:41:53,676
Tony:
Let's go find some treasure.
921
00:41:58,475 --> 00:41:59,641
As soon as you got close
to the bottom,
922
00:41:59,684 --> 00:42:01,684
it was that whole area was live.
923
00:42:01,728 --> 00:42:02,894
--wow.
924
00:42:02,979 --> 00:42:06,189
