1
00:00:01,544 --> 00:00:03,502
Narrator:
On beyond oak island...
2
00:00:03,587 --> 00:00:05,587
Rick:
Sometimes the quest
3
00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:07,673
for treasure retells history.
4
00:00:07,758 --> 00:00:10,050
Warren:
There's tens
of billions of dollars
5
00:00:10,136 --> 00:00:11,677
of buried civil war gold.
6
00:00:11,721 --> 00:00:14,013
Jesse james,
who was the field commander
7
00:00:14,056 --> 00:00:17,141
of the knights of the golden
circle, buried tons of gold.
8
00:00:17,226 --> 00:00:20,144
Nelson:
He was financing the kgc,
and, ultimately,
9
00:00:20,229 --> 00:00:21,311
a second civil war.
10
00:00:21,397 --> 00:00:22,730
Morgan:
Ciphered messages
11
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:24,273
-have been found in utah.
-Warren: That is
12
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:26,150
the ultimate
jesse james signature.
13
00:00:26,235 --> 00:00:27,526
Matty:
I'm convinced
there's something here.
14
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:28,986
-Warren: Look at that.
-That's a noose!
15
00:00:29,071 --> 00:00:30,362
Warren:
It's a warning to those
16
00:00:30,406 --> 00:00:32,156
who mess with the treasure.
17
00:00:32,241 --> 00:00:33,699
-Did you guys see that truck?
-Holly: You don't know
18
00:00:33,743 --> 00:00:35,200
if you're being watched.
19
00:00:37,246 --> 00:00:38,912
All the while
we were growing up,
20
00:00:38,998 --> 00:00:40,789
my brother and I
were fascinated
21
00:00:40,875 --> 00:00:42,374
with finding treasure.
22
00:00:43,419 --> 00:00:44,376
Rick:
Pirate treasure,
23
00:00:44,462 --> 00:00:46,003
cursed treasure.
24
00:00:46,088 --> 00:00:48,005
Civil war gold.
25
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,716
-since then,
our work on oak island
26
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:53,052
has shown us
there's a world of mysteries...
27
00:00:53,095 --> 00:00:55,929
-Whoa.
-...Waiting to be explored.
28
00:00:56,015 --> 00:00:58,891
Rick:
So, we like to reach out
to other treasure hunters.
29
00:00:58,976 --> 00:01:01,185
X marks the spot, right there.
Brilliant.
30
00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:03,479
-Marty: We want to hear
their stories...
-That's right.
31
00:01:03,564 --> 00:01:05,898
-...And share our insights.
-"ill-gotten gains."
32
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:07,691
-rick: And who knows...
-Gary: I got it.
33
00:01:07,777 --> 00:01:09,234
...Maybe we can help them
with their search.
34
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:10,903
Marty:
Not only in america.
35
00:01:10,946 --> 00:01:12,696
Wow. That is gold.
36
00:01:12,782 --> 00:01:14,531
-Rick: But all over the world.
-Yeah!
37
00:01:14,617 --> 00:01:16,408
Marty:
Beyond oak island.
38
00:01:24,085 --> 00:01:25,876
Marty:
It occurs to me that...
39
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:28,962
Almost all, maybe all
of these great treasure stories,
40
00:01:29,048 --> 00:01:31,048
have to do
with times of upheaval.
41
00:01:31,092 --> 00:01:33,509
You know, when somebody
is invading somebody else,
42
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,761
and somebody has to flee.
43
00:01:35,805 --> 00:01:37,596
The fall of the roman empire,
and all the stuff
44
00:01:37,681 --> 00:01:39,932
that gets shifted around then.
45
00:01:40,017 --> 00:01:43,268
And that's probably why
it's so significant to history.
46
00:01:43,354 --> 00:01:45,270
Because almost by definition,
47
00:01:45,356 --> 00:01:47,272
a great treasure
is going to be associated
48
00:01:47,316 --> 00:01:49,441
with a great upheaval
of some sort.
49
00:01:49,527 --> 00:01:52,236
Yeah, sometimes history drives
the-the quest for treasure,
50
00:01:52,321 --> 00:01:54,071
and sometimes the quest
51
00:01:54,115 --> 00:01:56,949
-for treasure, uh,
retells history.
52
00:01:56,992 --> 00:01:59,451
-Fellas.
-Marty: Hey! Hey, matty.
53
00:01:59,537 --> 00:02:01,495
-return of the blakemeister.
54
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:03,664
Ah, it's good to be here.
55
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:05,457
-Whatcha got?
-Whew! I don't want
56
00:02:05,501 --> 00:02:07,459
to interrupt oak business,
but I just got off the phone,
57
00:02:07,545 --> 00:02:09,169
very interesting call.
58
00:02:09,255 --> 00:02:10,420
Someone wants to talk
to you guys.
59
00:02:10,506 --> 00:02:12,256
Have you guys heard
of warren getler?
60
00:02:12,341 --> 00:02:13,590
He wrote a book
called rebel gold.
61
00:02:13,676 --> 00:02:15,592
Oh, yeah,
I am familiar with this guy.
62
00:02:15,678 --> 00:02:17,803
'cause not only did I read
that book,
63
00:02:17,847 --> 00:02:21,140
alex met him, because we
were doing our own search
64
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:23,183
for civil war gold at one time.
65
00:02:23,269 --> 00:02:26,311
Isn't his theory that
at the end of the civil war
66
00:02:26,355 --> 00:02:28,647
gold was stashed here and there
for, you know,
67
00:02:28,732 --> 00:02:31,316
perhaps supporting the south,
which was gonna be defeated
68
00:02:31,402 --> 00:02:32,442
but could rise again?
69
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:33,944
Yeah, I am familiar with that.
70
00:02:34,029 --> 00:02:35,821
Hey, talk about upheaval again,
71
00:02:35,906 --> 00:02:38,448
we were talking about upheaval
when you came in, and that,
72
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:40,826
you know, that's often
the source of-of treasures.
73
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:42,870
Well, you can't get
a bigger upheaval than that,
74
00:02:42,955 --> 00:02:45,497
in the history
of the united states, anyway.
75
00:02:45,541 --> 00:02:48,000
I mean, the conflict between
the north and the south was,
76
00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:51,545
I mean, for this country,
it was traumatic.
77
00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:57,217
narrator:
April 1865.
78
00:02:57,303 --> 00:03:02,639
The american civil war rages
to an end.
79
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:06,226
The south lies in ruins
80
00:03:06,312 --> 00:03:10,522
and its army
on the brink of collapse.
81
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:12,900
As federal troops close in
82
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:15,319
on the confederate capital
of richmond,
83
00:03:15,404 --> 00:03:18,530
the rebel government abandons
the city.
84
00:03:18,616 --> 00:03:21,950
Frazier:
When richmond is evacuated,
85
00:03:22,036 --> 00:03:24,328
clearly, you're gonna take
two things:
86
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:26,163
One is the government archives,
87
00:03:26,248 --> 00:03:28,165
so that you can keep
the government running,
88
00:03:28,209 --> 00:03:29,833
and the other is the treasury,
89
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:32,169
so that you can keep
the war going.
90
00:03:32,254 --> 00:03:35,881
Narrator:
Shortly before midnight
on April 2,
91
00:03:35,966 --> 00:03:40,093
a battered old confederate train
departed south from richmond
92
00:03:40,179 --> 00:03:44,890
toward danville, virginia,
140 miles away.
93
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:48,393
It carried confederate president
jefferson davis
94
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:51,688
and several members
of his cabinet.
95
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:53,523
-moments later,
96
00:03:53,609 --> 00:03:55,192
a second train left richmond,
97
00:03:55,277 --> 00:03:57,778
the so-called "treasure train,"
98
00:03:57,863 --> 00:04:00,364
which, according
to historical records,
99
00:04:00,449 --> 00:04:03,033
contained the remaining gold,
silver and jewelry
100
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:05,577
in the confederate treasury.
101
00:04:05,663 --> 00:04:08,080
In total, in 1865 dollars,
102
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:11,375
the value would have been
around a million dollars.
103
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:14,753
If you translate that
to modern values,
104
00:04:14,797 --> 00:04:17,381
you're dealing with something
between $16 million
105
00:04:17,466 --> 00:04:19,591
to $30 million.
106
00:04:19,677 --> 00:04:21,969
Jefferson davis was unwilling
to admit that the war was over,
107
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:23,887
the confederacy was dead.
108
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:26,056
He hoped to escape to texas,
109
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:28,058
where the confederacy
was still strong.
110
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:30,560
Or barring that,
perhaps escape to mexico,
111
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:32,604
cuba or even to England.
112
00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:34,439
Frazier:
One of the things
you have to understand
113
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:36,733
about the fall
of the confederacy is,
114
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,735
the yankees are closing in,
115
00:04:38,821 --> 00:04:40,237
:
And they're closing in
from the north,
116
00:04:40,322 --> 00:04:42,155
they're closing in
from the south,
117
00:04:42,241 --> 00:04:44,700
so these trains
are not gonna get very far.
118
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:48,245
So then, they have to take
these precious cargoes
119
00:04:48,289 --> 00:04:50,372
and put them on the wagons.
120
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:53,125
And they're slow,
they're cumbersome.
121
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:55,919
Jefferson davis and his party
finally say:
122
00:04:56,005 --> 00:04:58,171
"treasury or no treasury,
we got to get away."
123
00:04:58,257 --> 00:05:01,133
so they leave all the heavy,
cumbersome stuff behind
124
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:04,928
and make it all the way
to irwinville, georgia.
125
00:05:05,014 --> 00:05:07,139
Narrator:
In irwinville,
126
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:11,310
union troops quickly surrounded
davis's camp.
127
00:05:11,395 --> 00:05:14,438
-shots rang out.
128
00:05:14,523 --> 00:05:16,857
In the chaos that followed...
129
00:05:16,942 --> 00:05:20,944
Davis covered himself with
a shawl to avoid recognition.
130
00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:22,612
It didn't work.
131
00:05:22,698 --> 00:05:26,450
Davis and his entourage
were taken into custody.
132
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:30,287
But the confederate treasury
was nowhere to be found.
133
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:32,956
When davis was found,
he had nothing on him at all.
134
00:05:33,042 --> 00:05:35,334
There were a few dollars
here and there,
135
00:05:35,419 --> 00:05:39,796
but the treasure
that had left richmond was gone.
136
00:05:39,882 --> 00:05:42,090
Alex and I pursued
this very thing.
137
00:05:42,176 --> 00:05:44,051
Tring to figure out what
happened to jefferson davis,
138
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:46,470
who was supposedly fleeing
with the money
139
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:48,347
from the, um,
confederate treasury.
140
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:50,349
What happened to it?
141
00:05:50,392 --> 00:05:53,769
Matty:
I mean, warren's been studying
this for quite some time,
142
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,937
and he alluded on the phone
to, actually,
143
00:05:56,023 --> 00:05:57,939
the treasure hunter
that he's working with
144
00:05:58,025 --> 00:06:00,567
having found actual gold.
145
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:03,320
Oh, well,
now we're even more interested.
146
00:06:03,405 --> 00:06:04,821
Matty :
I thought that would pique
your interest.
147
00:06:04,907 --> 00:06:05,989
All right,
so you want to talk to him?
148
00:06:06,075 --> 00:06:07,157
-Yes.
-Sure.
149
00:06:07,201 --> 00:06:08,700
All right, great.
He-he's...
150
00:06:08,786 --> 00:06:09,868
He should be standing by,
if we can bring him up.
151
00:06:09,953 --> 00:06:11,995
Absolutely.
152
00:06:12,081 --> 00:06:13,622
Matty: There he is.
Warren, hi. It's matty.
153
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:16,208
I'm here
with rick and marty lagina.
154
00:06:16,251 --> 00:06:17,584
-Rick: Hi, warren.
-Hey, matty, how you doing?
155
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:19,211
Hey, warren.
Pleased to meet you--
156
00:06:19,296 --> 00:06:21,713
-electronically.
-Nice meeting you guys.
157
00:06:21,799 --> 00:06:24,716
So, what do you believe...
158
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,719
In terms of confederate gold,
civil war gold,
159
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:29,513
and where it may be?
160
00:06:29,598 --> 00:06:32,391
Well, matty, as we talked,
there is, in my view,
161
00:06:32,434 --> 00:06:35,352
a great deal
of buried civil war gold
162
00:06:35,437 --> 00:06:37,020
in the southwest,
163
00:06:37,106 --> 00:06:38,730
potentially in the tens
of billions of dollars.
164
00:06:38,816 --> 00:06:40,941
-Whoa.
-Marty: As you know, alex and I
165
00:06:41,026 --> 00:06:42,901
searched for what
might have been missing
166
00:06:42,945 --> 00:06:47,239
from jefferson davis, but...
But even in the grandest sense,
167
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:49,408
it was not billions of dollars.
168
00:06:49,493 --> 00:06:51,827
Why do you think that billions
are still out there,
169
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:53,829
and where
would that have come from?
170
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:55,914
Can you fill that in?
171
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:57,666
Marty, that's a great question.
172
00:06:57,751 --> 00:07:00,252
So, yes, the treasury
that may have been lost--
173
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:02,379
the confederate treasury
down in georgia,
174
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:04,256
with the treasure train--
175
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:08,051
that was a much smaller amount
of what was actually left
176
00:07:08,137 --> 00:07:11,096
in the specific coffers
of the formal confederacy,
177
00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:13,598
but the treasure
we're talking about now
178
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:15,100
is not the same thing.
179
00:07:15,144 --> 00:07:17,602
It's much more massive
in quantity.
180
00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:20,021
We're talking
about the treasure of...
181
00:07:20,107 --> 00:07:21,606
The knights
of the golden circle.
182
00:07:21,650 --> 00:07:25,068
The reason there's
more money involved is,
183
00:07:25,112 --> 00:07:28,113
they were taking it from the
treasury of the united states
184
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:30,991
before the civil war broke out,
during the war,
185
00:07:31,076 --> 00:07:32,784
so over the years,
pre-civil war,
186
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:34,619
civil war, post-civil war,
187
00:07:34,663 --> 00:07:38,081
they were very active
as a full-throttle organization
188
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:42,294
that involved banking,
finance, transportation
189
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:44,713
and the actual heisting
of the gold
190
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:46,298
and treasures.
191
00:07:46,383 --> 00:07:49,593
Narrator:
Billions of dollars in gold,
192
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:53,472
and some stolen from the
treasury of the united states?
193
00:07:53,515 --> 00:07:56,308
Could an underground
confederate organization
194
00:07:56,393 --> 00:07:58,810
really have made off
with that much?
195
00:07:58,854 --> 00:08:02,981
And how did this group
come to exist?
196
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:05,775
In 1854,
197
00:08:05,861 --> 00:08:08,153
in the wake of the growing
antislavery sentiment
198
00:08:08,197 --> 00:08:10,155
in the united states,
199
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,325
a secret society
of proslavery advocates formed
200
00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:16,369
under the name
"knights of the golden circle,"
201
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:18,580
or kgc.
202
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,957
Their goal was to annex
203
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:24,544
a so-called golden circle
of slave territories
204
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:26,630
under the leadership
of mexico's emperor,
205
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:29,174
maximilian I.
206
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:32,677
The area would stretch
from the southern states
207
00:08:32,721 --> 00:08:35,013
down to mexico
and central america,
208
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:37,766
and extend to the caribbean.
209
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:41,353
Members of the kgc
are believed to have included
210
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:43,355
john wilkes booth,
211
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:46,358
ku klux klan leader
nathan bedford forrest,
212
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:48,985
the outlaw jesse james,
213
00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:51,696
and jefferson davis.
214
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:53,782
Their primary goal was
the perpetuation
215
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,784
of the institution of slavery.
216
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:58,495
At the outbreak of
the american civil war in 1861,
217
00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:01,456
they fought with the confederacy
against the federal government,
218
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:03,500
the union government.
219
00:09:03,585 --> 00:09:05,335
After the end of the civil war,
220
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:07,295
they essentially
went underground
221
00:09:07,381 --> 00:09:12,884
and continued to perpetuate
their ideas as a secret society.
222
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:15,762
Narrator:
To support their objectives,
223
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:19,015
the kgc accumulated
vast sums of money.
224
00:09:19,101 --> 00:09:23,645
Some funds were amassed via
legitimate business enterprises.
225
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:25,730
Others were acquired
illegally.
226
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:30,235
Berry: The thing the knights
did best, better than anything
227
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:32,696
that they possibly could do,
was steal.
228
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:35,365
They were great thieves.
229
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:38,535
They stole gold, silver, jewels.
230
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,579
They took it from people, banks.
231
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:43,415
They even looted
two federal treasuries.
232
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,875
So they took what they had,
233
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:48,253
and they started burying it
in the ground
234
00:09:48,297 --> 00:09:50,213
all across arkansas, missouri,
235
00:09:50,299 --> 00:09:53,216
western tennessee,
northern mississippi,
236
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:55,093
all in that area right there.
237
00:09:55,137 --> 00:09:59,431
The theory is, is that
at some point along the way,
238
00:09:59,474 --> 00:10:01,725
the knights went back
after the war,
239
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:06,563
sometime between 1865 and 1912.
240
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,107
They went back and
they gathered all of this up.
241
00:10:09,192 --> 00:10:12,736
They put it on carts
and they took it out west.
242
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:14,446
Did they take it to utah?
243
00:10:14,531 --> 00:10:16,406
Did they take it to arizona?
244
00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:18,199
Did they take it to new mexico?
245
00:10:18,285 --> 00:10:20,285
Nobody knows.
246
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:25,957
You said that these monies
were accumulated pre-,
247
00:10:26,043 --> 00:10:28,835
during and post-civil war.
248
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,339
So, what was their intent
from the beginning?
249
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:34,341
What was the reason--
aside from the obvious--
250
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:35,800
what was the...
251
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:38,553
Were they singularly focused
on an objective?
252
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,640
Warren:
The knights
of the golden circle,
253
00:10:41,683 --> 00:10:44,726
as a subversive unit of
the confederacy, was two things:
254
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,895
It was confederate
and it was masonic.
255
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,772
Masonry was a very big part
256
00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:51,066
-of the knights
of the golden circle.
-Right.
257
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:53,902
And so, I would say
it's some sort of
258
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:57,447
secret society mission
that has to do with templar
259
00:10:57,532 --> 00:10:59,616
tradition,
rosicrucian tradition,
260
00:10:59,701 --> 00:11:03,119
-and a lot of the things
you've been working on...
-Here we go.
261
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:05,830
-Where have we
heard that before?
-There's no question
262
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:08,333
there's a scottish rite
freemasonic connection between
263
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:11,836
the kgc and the people...
264
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,089
The group that was
involved in oak island.
265
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:16,174
-Wow.
-Marty: Holy smokes.
266
00:11:16,218 --> 00:11:17,842
That's remarkable.
267
00:11:21,932 --> 00:11:23,723
Matty:
So warren, were you seeing
268
00:11:23,809 --> 00:11:25,350
similarities between
what these guys
269
00:11:25,394 --> 00:11:27,185
are working on and what
you've been discovering?
270
00:11:27,229 --> 00:11:29,604
Warren: Well, matty,
there's certainly a connection
271
00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:32,023
in terms of
let's call it the ideology
272
00:11:32,109 --> 00:11:34,442
between what was going on
in oak island
273
00:11:34,528 --> 00:11:36,361
and what was going on with the
knights of the golden circle,
274
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:38,988
because masonry
was a very big part
275
00:11:39,074 --> 00:11:40,407
of the knights
of the golden circle.
276
00:11:41,993 --> 00:11:45,203
Narrator:
Members of the secret society
known as the freemasons
277
00:11:45,247 --> 00:11:48,289
have had a unique relationship
with oak island
278
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:50,542
for more than 200 years,
279
00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:53,712
from daniel mcinnis--
one of the three boys
280
00:11:53,797 --> 00:11:57,382
who first discovered
the money pit in 1795--
281
00:11:57,426 --> 00:12:00,093
to m.R. Chappell and even
282
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:03,430
future american president
franklin d. Roosevelt,
283
00:12:03,515 --> 00:12:06,725
who joined the search in 1909.
284
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:10,687
To maintain secrecy,
freemasons communicate
285
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:13,398
through the language of symbols.
286
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:16,609
Numerous masonic symbols have
been discovered on oak island
287
00:12:16,695 --> 00:12:19,779
that have also been found
in connection with the kgc,
288
00:12:19,865 --> 00:12:21,740
such as triangles,
289
00:12:21,783 --> 00:12:26,453
the letter g, representing god
as well as geometry,
290
00:12:26,538 --> 00:12:29,622
and even human faces.
291
00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:31,458
And in the case of the kgc,
292
00:12:31,543 --> 00:12:33,877
these types of symbols
have actually
293
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:35,837
led to buried treasure.
294
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:38,465
The whole point of the knights
of the golden circle
295
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:41,468
and their treasure
was to navigate the initiated,
296
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:44,804
those on the inside, back to
these treasures after decades.
297
00:12:46,141 --> 00:12:49,100
They did it through
the key symbols of masonry,
298
00:12:49,144 --> 00:12:52,771
and these coded clues get you
back to these treasures.
299
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:55,607
Now, these have been
found before.
300
00:12:55,650 --> 00:12:57,984
I know of at least
three or four cases
301
00:12:58,069 --> 00:13:00,612
where gold bullion
or silver bars
302
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:02,947
were found by treasure hunters.
303
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:06,284
And one of those
was a guy named bob brewer.
304
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:10,246
Brewer: The first time
that I found kgc treasure--
305
00:13:10,332 --> 00:13:11,706
that was probably the...
306
00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:14,626
Most exciting thing
I ever did in my life.
307
00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:17,170
When we go treasure hunting,
we go looking
308
00:13:17,255 --> 00:13:20,131
for our symbols
and our clues and everything.
309
00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:21,174
We've got
310
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:23,301
the codes and all of the maps
311
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:25,094
and things that
they leave on the ground.
312
00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:27,347
They leave stone maps,
they leave
313
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:29,974
pieces of metal.
When I get close to treasure,
314
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:31,559
I start having goose bumps
315
00:13:31,645 --> 00:13:34,270
and my hair starts
raising up in the back.
316
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:37,982
And it ain't never
failed me yet.
317
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:39,901
warren, do you think
318
00:13:39,986 --> 00:13:42,153
the knights of the golden circle
still exist?
319
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,656
Uh, great question.
320
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:46,324
I actually do think,
in some form,
321
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:47,909
they do still exist.
Some of these
322
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:51,120
very large,
buried gold depositories
323
00:13:51,206 --> 00:13:53,998
are guarded by the knights of
the golden circle descendants
324
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:57,335
or some secret society
organization.
325
00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:59,462
So these deposits, are they...
326
00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:02,340
Are they on public or
private land, if I might ask?
327
00:14:02,425 --> 00:14:05,218
Well, it depends
where they are. Um,
328
00:14:05,303 --> 00:14:07,428
some are on private land
and can't be recovered
329
00:14:07,514 --> 00:14:09,013
without permission
of the landowner.
330
00:14:09,099 --> 00:14:11,140
Others are on government land,
state or federal.
331
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:12,809
If it's on federal land,
332
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:14,477
bureau of land management,
blm land,
333
00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:16,020
you can't recover them.
334
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:17,856
A lot of the treasure,
actually, guys,
335
00:14:17,941 --> 00:14:19,566
is buried on federal property.
336
00:14:19,651 --> 00:14:21,693
Do you have
an x marks the spot?
337
00:14:21,736 --> 00:14:24,779
Do you have a place that
you think there may be treasure?
338
00:14:24,865 --> 00:14:26,155
Yeah, matty, I do. Um,
339
00:14:26,241 --> 00:14:29,033
there's a young lady
out in utah,
340
00:14:29,119 --> 00:14:30,243
near delta, utah.
341
00:14:30,328 --> 00:14:32,745
Um, her name is holly remkes.
342
00:14:32,831 --> 00:14:34,706
And for the past seven years,
343
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,375
uh, we've been corresponding
with each other.
344
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:40,378
Exchanging the amazing shots,
pictures she's taking
345
00:14:40,463 --> 00:14:43,923
of kgc symbolism
and rock carvings
346
00:14:44,009 --> 00:14:46,384
and sculptural pieces out in
347
00:14:46,469 --> 00:14:49,554
the barren canyonlands of utah.
Matter of fact, matty,
348
00:14:49,598 --> 00:14:52,015
uh, I'm thinking of
heading out there to see holly,
349
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:55,184
uh, to explore what's going on
out in utah,
350
00:14:55,270 --> 00:14:56,853
and I was, uh,
interested to know
351
00:14:56,938 --> 00:14:58,688
if you guys
might be interested
352
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:01,149
in coming out
and exploring with me. Uh,
353
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:02,901
I don't know what
your availability is
354
00:15:02,944 --> 00:15:05,320
but I think you'd
have an amazing time.
355
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:08,364
W-warren, we really
appreciate that. I think
356
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:10,325
here on oak island, we're u...
357
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,702
Literally up to our necks
in a search agenda.
358
00:15:12,787 --> 00:15:15,246
-But I think, uh, matty's eyes
-marty: Matty, you'd go,
wouldn't you?
359
00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:17,749
Are-are wide open here.
I think he might be
360
00:15:17,834 --> 00:15:19,417
quite willing to join you.
361
00:15:19,461 --> 00:15:20,877
Yeah, I want to see
what you're talking about.
362
00:15:20,962 --> 00:15:23,212
Especially, I'm fascinated
by the fact that
363
00:15:23,298 --> 00:15:24,923
-you're seeing connections
between here and there.
-Connections.
364
00:15:25,008 --> 00:15:26,966
-I-I want to see with my eyes.
-Yeah, that... So are we.
365
00:15:27,052 --> 00:15:29,260
-Yeah. Eyes and boots.
-So you can be our
eyes and ears out there.
366
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:31,471
Warren, it's been a pleasure.
I'm sure rick and I
367
00:15:31,556 --> 00:15:33,181
are gonna have a whole bunch
more questions
368
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,600
after we digest this a little
bit. But in the meantime,
369
00:15:35,644 --> 00:15:38,686
you and matty getting together
is gonna be great. Uh,
370
00:15:38,772 --> 00:15:41,940
uh, I'm sure we will be
talking again, so thank you.
371
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,441
-Warren: Thanks, guys.
-Rick: Thank you, warren.
372
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:44,943
Matty:
See you soon.
373
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:52,116
Narrator: Fillmore, utah.
374
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:54,619
This quiet, rural town,
named after
375
00:15:54,663 --> 00:15:57,288
former u.S. President
millard fillmore,
376
00:15:57,374 --> 00:16:01,000
was once the capital of
the fledgling territory of utah.
377
00:16:01,086 --> 00:16:04,921
Today, it's famous as the home
of the historical
378
00:16:04,965 --> 00:16:07,006
utah territorial statehouse,
379
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:10,510
which was built back in 1855.
380
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:13,471
Treasure hunters matty blake
and warren getler
381
00:16:13,556 --> 00:16:16,683
have journeyed to the statehouse
to meet local resident
382
00:16:16,768 --> 00:16:19,978
holly remkes,
who is a self-described
383
00:16:20,063 --> 00:16:22,480
desert detective
and treasure hunter herself.
384
00:16:22,524 --> 00:16:24,649
-Matty: Holly. How you doing?
-Oh, hi!
385
00:16:24,693 --> 00:16:27,527
Narrator:
Warren and holly have
corresponded for seven years...
386
00:16:27,612 --> 00:16:29,654
-Good to meet you, finally.
-Warren: Hey. Wow, after
all these years.
387
00:16:29,698 --> 00:16:31,155
Narrator:
...But this is the first time
they're actually
388
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:32,824
meeting in person.
389
00:16:32,909 --> 00:16:34,993
Warren's told me a little bit
about you, but, um,
390
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:37,829
I mean, h-how did you get into
this? What's your story?
391
00:16:37,914 --> 00:16:39,664
Well, I-I've been into it
my whole entire life,
392
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:42,333
because my dad has a love
for the desert, and ever since
393
00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:44,502
I was very young,
we would go out in the desert
394
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:47,255
and prospect
and look for, uh, fossils
395
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,007
-and all kinds...
-So you were looking
for fossils and prospecting--
396
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:50,466
you mean you were
looking for gold too? Or...
397
00:16:50,552 --> 00:16:52,176
-Yeah, absolutely.
-Panning for gold?
398
00:16:52,262 --> 00:16:54,721
Yeah, my dad, uh,
named a mining claim after me,
399
00:16:54,806 --> 00:16:56,931
uh, when I was little,
'cause I tripped and he found
400
00:16:57,017 --> 00:16:58,558
some gold there.
He called it holly's folly.
401
00:17:00,603 --> 00:17:03,855
narrator:
After holly's first explorations
with her father,
402
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:06,524
she began embarking
on her own treasure hunts
403
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:09,193
in the hot desert landscape
of southern utah.
404
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:12,613
She soon discovered
mysterious clues
405
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:14,991
that defied explanation.
406
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:16,868
Places that I'd been
my whole life--
407
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:19,537
there were things there
that I had not seen before.
408
00:17:19,581 --> 00:17:23,082
Narrator:
The self-proclaimed desert
detective now believes
409
00:17:23,168 --> 00:17:25,209
she has come across
symbols and codes
410
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:27,253
leading to caches of gold
411
00:17:27,338 --> 00:17:29,672
buried by the
knights of the golden circle.
412
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,885
Probably the best way and
maybe the only way to learn
413
00:17:33,928 --> 00:17:36,429
how to decode the stuff
is by going out in the field,
414
00:17:36,514 --> 00:17:40,058
seeing what you see, writing
it down, keeping records,
415
00:17:40,143 --> 00:17:43,311
photographing it
and keeping an open mind
416
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:44,771
to what you're seeing.
417
00:17:44,856 --> 00:17:47,106
Narrator:
Holly is convinced
418
00:17:47,192 --> 00:17:49,067
that if you can
put the clues together
419
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:51,194
you can solve the mystery.
420
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,237
And if you can
solve the mystery,
421
00:17:53,281 --> 00:17:55,156
you can find the treasure.
422
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:56,908
Holly:
I feel like
the answers are there.
423
00:17:56,951 --> 00:18:00,078
These rock faces
and the animals and the symbols.
424
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:01,788
I believe that you can find
where the treasures are
425
00:18:01,873 --> 00:18:03,039
if you can decode these things.
426
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:04,874
I think it's amazing.
427
00:18:04,959 --> 00:18:07,835
There's a lot of masonic
influence in-in this.
428
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:10,755
-Okay.
-There are a lot of ties between
the knights of the golden circle
429
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,175
-treasures and what's going on
in oak island.
-Ah.
430
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:17,345
And a lot of the methods
they used are similar:
431
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:20,056
Booby traps, tunnels,
water traps.
432
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:21,557
How about carved stones?
There's a lot
433
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:23,267
of carved stones on oak island.
434
00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:25,353
The carved stones are
very similar to oak island.
435
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:29,190
There's messaging
that was coded, basically.
436
00:18:29,275 --> 00:18:31,818
So holly, I'd like to talk
about some of the results
437
00:18:31,903 --> 00:18:33,194
of your detective work here.
438
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:34,821
Um, I see you've
brought some stuff.
439
00:18:34,906 --> 00:18:36,948
-What do-what do we got here?
-I've got this map
440
00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:39,408
-mm-hmm.
-That warren referred to
in his book.
441
00:18:39,494 --> 00:18:43,204
And this map is really,
really interesting.
442
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:45,748
Narrator:
This map of the utah territory
443
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:48,251
was printed in 1895.
444
00:18:48,336 --> 00:18:50,711
Warren and holly are convinced
445
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:54,966
it contains coded messages
and purposely misspelled words
446
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:58,010
that offer clues to
the whereabouts of hidden caches
447
00:18:58,096 --> 00:18:59,804
of kgc gold.
448
00:18:59,848 --> 00:19:02,473
Our mountain here is
misspelled.
449
00:19:02,517 --> 00:19:04,183
They left the "h" out of
pahvant butte,
450
00:19:04,269 --> 00:19:07,520
a good indicator there'll be
a cache in the area.
451
00:19:07,605 --> 00:19:09,230
Matty:
You're saying that's
purposely misspelled
452
00:19:09,315 --> 00:19:12,692
as another code or signal
to those who know?
453
00:19:12,777 --> 00:19:14,152
I think so.
And they also did
454
00:19:14,237 --> 00:19:16,362
this spiral symbol, which is--
455
00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:18,114
you'll see it in a lot
of the petroglyphs
456
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:20,158
as a directional as well.
457
00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:23,870
Matty:
How would the kgc get symbology
458
00:19:23,955 --> 00:19:26,747
and misspellings and stuff
into a map like this?
459
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:28,666
Well, they infiltrated
government agencies,
460
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:30,334
like the u.S. Geological survey.
461
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:34,338
-Wow.
-And they knew
exactly how to convey
462
00:19:34,382 --> 00:19:37,592
geographic information
symbolically.
463
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:39,677
So you don't think it's just
an accidental misspelling?
464
00:19:39,721 --> 00:19:42,221
Right. If you go out in
the field and you start finding
465
00:19:42,307 --> 00:19:44,640
the cypher panels of the
knights of the golden circle
466
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:46,392
right there, they're telling you
467
00:19:46,477 --> 00:19:47,852
you've come to the right place.
468
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:49,312
Well, is that what
I'm looking at here?
469
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:50,688
'cause I'm seeing things
that look like, uh,
470
00:19:50,773 --> 00:19:52,899
-ciphers or codes of some kind.
-Mm-hmm.
471
00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:54,901
-Did you take these?
-I did.
472
00:19:54,986 --> 00:19:56,694
I don't know if you can
see this horse.
473
00:19:56,738 --> 00:19:58,196
Matty:
Oh, yeah. Clearly.
474
00:19:58,281 --> 00:20:00,740
The horse head is often
a knight symbol.
475
00:20:00,825 --> 00:20:02,742
And then this is coded as well.
476
00:20:02,827 --> 00:20:04,994
I've seen the "ac"
at a lot of the sites,
477
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:06,537
and five is the symbol
for silver.
478
00:20:06,623 --> 00:20:08,331
So I believe it's talking
about gold and silver.
479
00:20:08,416 --> 00:20:09,999
-Gold and silver.
-Mm-hmm.
480
00:20:10,084 --> 00:20:11,292
Did-did you take these locally?
481
00:20:11,377 --> 00:20:12,710
-Uh-huh.
-Wow.
482
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:14,587
Warren:
We think,
483
00:20:14,672 --> 00:20:16,214
based on holly's amazing
484
00:20:16,257 --> 00:20:18,132
treasure detective work,
that there are probably
485
00:20:18,218 --> 00:20:20,092
20 major depositories
around here.
486
00:20:20,178 --> 00:20:22,428
Interesting.
487
00:20:22,513 --> 00:20:24,555
And jesse james,
who was the field commander
488
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:26,390
of the knights
of the golden circle,
489
00:20:26,476 --> 00:20:29,143
buried tons of gold.
490
00:20:29,229 --> 00:20:32,271
-So hold on. Jesse james,
famed outlaw...
-Right.
491
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:34,357
He was actually operative
492
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,858
right here in
the utah territory.
493
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:37,860
-Jesse james? The jesse james?
-Jesse james.
494
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:43,407
Matty: This is getting better
and better.
495
00:20:43,493 --> 00:20:44,825
I didn't expect jesse james.
496
00:20:44,911 --> 00:20:46,577
And all here.
He was-he was here.
497
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:48,079
Yes.
498
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:50,581
Jesse james operated
in this area, definitely.
499
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:54,085
New mexico, arizona, utah.
500
00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:56,754
And there's a lot of evidence
for why
501
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,091
they revered him so much,
because of his ability
502
00:21:00,176 --> 00:21:02,260
to be so mobile.
503
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:07,056
Narrator: Jesse james was born
on September 5, 1847,
504
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:08,891
near kearney, missouri.
505
00:21:08,977 --> 00:21:12,603
During the civil war,
while still in his teens,
506
00:21:12,689 --> 00:21:14,397
jesse is believed
to have been part
507
00:21:14,482 --> 00:21:16,274
of a pro-confederate
guerilla group,
508
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,403
led by william quantrill,
that attacked and massacred
509
00:21:20,488 --> 00:21:22,405
union soldiers.
510
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:25,574
Warren:
During the civil war,
he was a very young
511
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:28,744
and very successful fighter
in the confederacy.
512
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:31,747
But after the war,
he became a so-called "outlaw."
513
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:33,207
-move!
514
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:35,209
narrator:
In 1866,
515
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:37,169
jesse and his brother frank
516
00:21:37,255 --> 00:21:40,589
robbed the clay county savings
bank in liberty, missouri,
517
00:21:40,675 --> 00:21:42,842
killing an innocent bystander.
518
00:21:44,721 --> 00:21:47,763
the gang's murderous legend
soon took hold
519
00:21:47,849 --> 00:21:50,474
as they held up banks
across the midwest
520
00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:53,436
-and western united states.
-Hands up!
521
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:56,772
Jameson:
Few people got more headlines
than frank and jesse james.
522
00:21:56,858 --> 00:21:58,983
They got the publicity,
they got the notoriety,
523
00:21:59,027 --> 00:22:00,443
they got the fame.
524
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:02,320
Narrator:
But could there be more
525
00:22:02,405 --> 00:22:04,322
to the story of jesse james
526
00:22:04,407 --> 00:22:07,783
than just robbing banks
and holding up stagecoaches?
527
00:22:07,869 --> 00:22:10,786
Warren:
Well, jesse james
is traditionally known
528
00:22:10,872 --> 00:22:14,874
as an outlaw of the wild west,
and he was that.
529
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:17,084
But what-what isn't known
is what did he do
530
00:22:17,170 --> 00:22:19,003
with all that money
that he was stealing?
531
00:22:19,088 --> 00:22:21,172
He never got rich.
532
00:22:21,257 --> 00:22:24,675
According to the research
I've been doing, and others,
533
00:22:24,719 --> 00:22:27,553
he was a leading member
534
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,638
of the knights
of the golden circle.
535
00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:31,932
Nelson: According to the theory,
he was, in fact,
536
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:34,977
financing the kgc and,
ultimately,
537
00:22:35,063 --> 00:22:37,438
what would've
been a second civil war.
538
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:41,359
Warren:
All that money that jesse james
was stealing
539
00:22:41,402 --> 00:22:43,694
went into
the underground coffers,
540
00:22:43,738 --> 00:22:46,238
the vaults of the kgc.
541
00:22:46,324 --> 00:22:48,491
Some was stolen
from the union coffers,
542
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:51,327
union mint, others were
the results of smelting
543
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,162
their own gold.
544
00:22:53,247 --> 00:22:54,997
Jesse james was said
to have been
545
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:57,500
on the inside of train hits
546
00:22:57,585 --> 00:22:59,293
that involved payment
from the insurance company
547
00:22:59,379 --> 00:23:01,504
that he controlled.
548
00:23:01,589 --> 00:23:04,507
James organized the accumulation
of the wealth
549
00:23:04,592 --> 00:23:06,717
and the protection
of this wealth,
550
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,552
not just until he was
allegedly killed,
551
00:23:08,638 --> 00:23:10,554
which was, you know, 18-- 1880s.
552
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,182
But we say he deliberately
faked his death
553
00:23:13,226 --> 00:23:16,894
so that he could continue
in this role post-civil war.
554
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:19,647
Did he have a-a calling card
555
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:21,232
or something that makes
you think, like, when you,
556
00:23:21,275 --> 00:23:23,067
when you get to a site,
was there some reason
557
00:23:23,152 --> 00:23:25,653
you would think this
is a jesse james operation?
558
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:28,739
We have a lot of evidence that
jesse james put his signature
559
00:23:28,783 --> 00:23:31,575
on a lot of these treasures
and on the carvings.
560
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:32,952
Two backward j's, j.J.,
561
00:23:33,037 --> 00:23:34,412
-for jesse james, yeah.
-No kidding? J.J.
562
00:23:34,455 --> 00:23:36,247
-Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
-Wow.
563
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:38,165
There's a lot of money
involved here.
564
00:23:38,251 --> 00:23:40,376
Some of these sites,
as holly will attest,
565
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:41,877
-are actively guarded.
-Very active.
566
00:23:41,963 --> 00:23:43,421
-Really?
-Yes.
567
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:46,382
Do you think, warren,
that these are relatives
568
00:23:46,467 --> 00:23:48,217
of the original golden circle
people or do you think
569
00:23:48,302 --> 00:23:49,969
it's a, it's a whole
separate thing,
570
00:23:50,054 --> 00:23:51,887
that they just happen
to know where the money is?
571
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,389
Well, in some
local environments,
572
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:55,391
it's probably the descendants,
573
00:23:55,435 --> 00:23:58,269
the legacy "sentinels" watching.
574
00:23:58,354 --> 00:24:00,855
It's their role.
Don't touch it, guard it.
575
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:05,067
So, I warned holly
in her travels,
576
00:24:05,153 --> 00:24:07,486
she has to wary
'cause she could be watched.
577
00:24:07,572 --> 00:24:09,280
Have-- has anything
happened to you?
578
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:11,449
There's been a few instances
that have had me very worried
579
00:24:11,492 --> 00:24:13,075
and I was never
gonna go out again.
580
00:24:13,161 --> 00:24:14,952
-Like what? Give me an example.
-Um...
581
00:24:15,037 --> 00:24:17,079
I've been out in the desert and
a black helicopter showed up.
582
00:24:17,165 --> 00:24:19,790
About that same time
there was a man that came
583
00:24:19,834 --> 00:24:22,293
in a security vehicle
and he asked me
584
00:24:22,378 --> 00:24:23,752
some different,
weird questions.
585
00:24:23,838 --> 00:24:25,129
-Really?
-Yes.
586
00:24:25,173 --> 00:24:26,505
To let you know,
"we're watching you."
587
00:24:26,591 --> 00:24:27,965
like, I'm-I'm being watched.
588
00:24:29,844 --> 00:24:32,261
Another reason I believe
that I've been-- being watched
589
00:24:32,346 --> 00:24:36,807
is multiple times I've gone out
and studied the site.
590
00:24:36,893 --> 00:24:39,185
And I've gone back
within a few days
591
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:41,645
and there would be footprints
following me around every spot
592
00:24:41,731 --> 00:24:44,523
that I've been, and some of
these locations are very remote.
593
00:24:44,609 --> 00:24:46,525
There was a cave
that I went to one time,
594
00:24:46,611 --> 00:24:49,111
and I went back,
probably two days later,
595
00:24:49,197 --> 00:24:52,406
and there were big footprints
in the dust of the cave there.
596
00:24:52,492 --> 00:24:55,493
And maybe it was just
coincidence, I don't know.
597
00:24:55,578 --> 00:24:57,828
Most people think
nothing of it,
598
00:24:57,872 --> 00:25:01,248
but it scared me a lot.
599
00:25:01,334 --> 00:25:05,127
So, families going way back,
generations after generations,
600
00:25:05,213 --> 00:25:09,173
swore blood oaths
to protect this money.
601
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:11,759
Kind of scary.
I think I've been shot at once,
602
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:13,344
when I was
out in the desert one day
603
00:25:13,429 --> 00:25:16,347
and I heard this sound,
it scared me to death.
604
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:18,807
It was just a "zwing,"
kind of a metallic sound.
605
00:25:18,893 --> 00:25:20,601
And my brother said,
"I think that's a
606
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:23,229
'bullet ricocheting
off of a rock' sound."
607
00:25:23,314 --> 00:25:25,773
-I got in my vehicle and left.
-Matty: Really? I got to say,
608
00:25:25,858 --> 00:25:27,691
this is not what I expected
when we came to utah.
609
00:25:27,735 --> 00:25:29,360
I mean, this is
a whole different level.
610
00:25:29,403 --> 00:25:31,695
I mean, this sounds, uh,
I hate to be overdramatic,
611
00:25:31,781 --> 00:25:33,531
but it sounds
like it could be dangerous.
612
00:25:33,616 --> 00:25:35,157
It could be.
613
00:25:35,243 --> 00:25:36,867
I-I would love to lay eyes
on some of these things.
614
00:25:36,911 --> 00:25:38,702
I have to see them for myself.
Is that possible?
615
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:39,995
I don't want to make you
uncomfortable,
616
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:41,372
bringing you
to any of these sites,
617
00:25:41,415 --> 00:25:42,706
but I would love
to see it for myself.
618
00:25:42,792 --> 00:25:44,583
Well, I-- if you want
to take the risk.
619
00:25:44,669 --> 00:25:46,835
All right, well,
I can take care of myself.
620
00:25:46,921 --> 00:25:48,254
-Let's go.
-Warren: Let's do it.
621
00:25:48,339 --> 00:25:49,880
Holly:
All right, sounds great.
622
00:25:54,595 --> 00:25:56,095
Matty:
So, I'm really excited
623
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:57,930
to see what it looks like
in person.
624
00:25:58,015 --> 00:26:01,433
Narrator: Local treasure hunter
holly remkes is leading
625
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:02,893
matty blake and warren getler
626
00:26:02,979 --> 00:26:05,688
to a remote site
in the utah desert,
627
00:26:05,773 --> 00:26:08,023
where she's discovered
coded messages
628
00:26:08,109 --> 00:26:09,775
carved into the landscape.
629
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:12,611
Holly believes
the messages prove
630
00:26:12,697 --> 00:26:14,363
that a secret organization
631
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:16,532
called the knights
of the golden circle,
632
00:26:16,617 --> 00:26:17,992
or kgc,
633
00:26:18,077 --> 00:26:19,994
operated in the area,
634
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:24,748
where they hid a fortune in gold
at the end of the civil war.
635
00:26:26,252 --> 00:26:29,169
Holly:
Okay, our spot
is going to be about...
636
00:26:29,255 --> 00:26:30,754
About right here, I think. Yeah.
637
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,214
-Okay. Good place to pull over?
-Yep.
638
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:34,300
Narrator:
This site is protected
639
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:37,011
by utah's
bureau of land management,
640
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:39,555
and digging
is strictly forbidden.
641
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,057
But matty is eager
to examine the symbols
642
00:26:42,143 --> 00:26:44,393
that could prove
warren's theories are true
643
00:26:44,478 --> 00:26:45,894
and point to connections
644
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:48,856
that deepen the mystery
of oak island.
645
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:50,691
I'm gonna get my old man cane.
646
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,985
My snake-bopping stick. Alright.
647
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:54,945
Narrator:
On previous explorations,
648
00:26:55,031 --> 00:26:56,614
holly has discovered
649
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:59,325
that this site possesses
unique characteristics
650
00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:01,535
that would have made it
a prime location
651
00:27:01,621 --> 00:27:03,787
for members of the kgc to carve
652
00:27:03,873 --> 00:27:05,956
symbolic messages.
653
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,877
One is the way in which
the rocks reflect the sun.
654
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,379
-Wow. I mean...
-This is cool.
655
00:27:12,465 --> 00:27:15,049
Matty:
This is literally like
someone put a spotlight on it.
656
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:16,467
:
I would say great find, holly,
657
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:18,177
but it seems like
it wants to be found.
658
00:27:18,262 --> 00:27:21,430
Sometimes you can see those
for miles and miles.
659
00:27:21,515 --> 00:27:23,474
And the symbol is strong
as you come up here, but then
660
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:25,309
-as you get closer,
it almost disappears.
-It kind of fades.
661
00:27:25,394 --> 00:27:26,810
-Holly: Yeah.
-Warren: Yup, it kind of fades.
662
00:27:26,854 --> 00:27:29,521
They were
all about shadow signs,
663
00:27:29,607 --> 00:27:31,523
and this is a sun sign.
664
00:27:31,609 --> 00:27:34,151
-What do I mean by that, right?
It-it catches the sun.
-Yeah.
665
00:27:34,236 --> 00:27:37,363
Warren:
It's deliberate.
It's on a reflective stone.
666
00:27:37,448 --> 00:27:39,657
Does this symbol
mean anything to you, warren?
667
00:27:39,742 --> 00:27:41,241
Well, this is a symbol
668
00:27:41,327 --> 00:27:42,868
that's been used before
in treasure sites.
669
00:27:42,953 --> 00:27:44,620
I mean, it's-it's kind of,
uh, to me,
670
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:46,246
implying
that there could be a treasure
671
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:47,748
inside of a cave or a tunnel.
672
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:49,208
Hey, hey, hey.
673
00:27:49,293 --> 00:27:51,335
Who is that?
Did you guys see that truck?
674
00:27:54,131 --> 00:27:55,547
-Oh, that wasn't you guys, huh?
-That truck--
675
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:57,216
I'm sorry, I don't want
to interrupt-- that truck
676
00:27:57,301 --> 00:28:00,135
was tinted windows black,
no tags, and it just...
677
00:28:00,221 --> 00:28:02,596
-Out of nowhere.
-Out in the middle of nowhere.
678
00:28:02,682 --> 00:28:04,431
-Yeah.
-It... Definitely looking at us.
679
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:06,058
This kind of thing
happens all the time
680
00:28:06,143 --> 00:28:08,018
when you're out at kgc sites.
681
00:28:08,104 --> 00:28:09,895
Yeah. Helicopters sometimes.
682
00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:11,772
Tinted-window vans.
683
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:13,691
You never know.
684
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:15,359
Wow.
685
00:28:15,444 --> 00:28:19,363
So, this is a classic kgc site
for burying gold. You got
686
00:28:19,448 --> 00:28:21,198
this amazing hill and a...
And a vista
687
00:28:21,283 --> 00:28:22,991
-that goes on forever.
-Matty: I mean...
688
00:28:23,077 --> 00:28:24,576
-they can see
approaching threats.
689
00:28:24,662 --> 00:28:27,329
-Absolutely.
-And do what they needed to do.
690
00:28:27,415 --> 00:28:29,832
Holly, was this the only thing
you found in this area?
691
00:28:29,917 --> 00:28:32,126
:
Oh, no. There's a lot more.
692
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:33,794
-Oh, let's-let's take a look.
-Holly: This... Yeah. Yeah.
693
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:37,047
Anyway, I want to show you
this panel over this way.
694
00:28:37,091 --> 00:28:40,092
This is where it starts getting
a little bit creepy.
695
00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:41,385
Warren,
this is like christmas for you.
696
00:28:41,470 --> 00:28:43,887
Yeah, kid in a candy shop.
697
00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:46,014
Matty:
What have you got here?
698
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:48,267
-Look at that.
-Oh, wow.
-Wow.
699
00:28:48,352 --> 00:28:51,478
-Look at that.
That's classic kgc.
-Matty: Holy moly.
700
00:28:51,564 --> 00:28:53,355
Why do you say that,
warren, "classic kgc"?
701
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:56,984
It is. And the reason is
that they use these
702
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:59,945
kind of spooky
stick figure characters.
703
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:01,739
Matty :
Well, first of all, it looks...
704
00:29:01,824 --> 00:29:03,115
Almost like an alien.
I know what you mean by spooky.
705
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,533
-Warren: Yeah.
-Uh,
706
00:29:04,618 --> 00:29:06,118
it's a weird-shaped head.
It tapers down.
707
00:29:06,203 --> 00:29:07,745
And then there's something
o-on top of its head.
708
00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:09,913
So, they used hangmen often.
709
00:29:11,792 --> 00:29:13,625
-That's what
they're trying to...
-Oh, yeah, that's a noose.
710
00:29:13,711 --> 00:29:15,377
-Warren: That's a noose. Yeah.
-Holly: A noose! I thought
711
00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:16,962
-it was a feather or something.
-Matty: Oh, my god.
712
00:29:17,047 --> 00:29:18,464
-Warren: No, it's a...
-Holly: Oh, that's creepy.
713
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:20,215
-Warren: It's a noose.
-Holly: No wonder.
714
00:29:20,301 --> 00:29:21,467
-So, that's
a warning saying, "hey."
-warren: Yeah.
715
00:29:21,552 --> 00:29:23,093
Well, it's both.
It's saying this is kgc,
716
00:29:23,179 --> 00:29:25,637
and it's saying woe to those
717
00:29:25,723 --> 00:29:28,557
who delve too far
into this treasure site
718
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:30,100
if you're not an insider.
719
00:29:33,647 --> 00:29:35,481
Hey, look at that.
720
00:29:35,566 --> 00:29:37,775
Matty:
We got a tinted-window truck
coming by us again.
721
00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:40,027
This is the second time
it's happened.
722
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:41,945
Yeah,
they're definitely coming by us.
723
00:29:43,157 --> 00:29:46,074
Are tags on that?
- Yup.
724
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,534
-That's...
725
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,329
I-I predicted they would
at some point, so...
726
00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:51,622
That's what makes it so hard,
727
00:29:51,707 --> 00:29:52,790
is you don't know
if you're being watched,
728
00:29:52,875 --> 00:29:54,249
because it could be anybody.
729
00:29:54,335 --> 00:29:55,793
I mean, you just don't know.
730
00:29:58,047 --> 00:30:00,088
I believe that the kgc
is still guarding
731
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:02,174
or watching over
a lot of these treasures.
732
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:03,759
I believe there's other groups
733
00:30:03,844 --> 00:30:05,928
that are watching over
these vault sites.
734
00:30:06,013 --> 00:30:09,223
And I have no idea
how they know we're there.
735
00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:11,975
Holly, did you notice
736
00:30:12,061 --> 00:30:13,852
this index finger is missing?
737
00:30:13,938 --> 00:30:16,230
-And whose index finger
is missing?
738
00:30:16,315 --> 00:30:17,898
-holly: Jesse james.
-Warren: Jesse james.
-Matty: Wow.
739
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:19,817
-Warren: Can you believe that?
-Holly: And it's on
740
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:21,652
-that same hand, isn't it? Okay.
-Warren: It's on the same hand.
741
00:30:21,737 --> 00:30:23,153
-Wow.
-Warren: And this "s"
over here may be a snake.
742
00:30:23,239 --> 00:30:25,197
-I can't quite tell.
-Holly: Uh, it is a snake.
743
00:30:25,282 --> 00:30:26,824
-Yeah, I can see.
-See the head?
There's the head right there.
744
00:30:26,909 --> 00:30:28,492
Holly:
Snakes are directional,
aren't they?
745
00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:29,493
Warren:
So, snakes tend to be
directional.
746
00:30:29,537 --> 00:30:30,577
Snakes are very important
747
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:31,662
to the scottish rite symbolism.
748
00:30:31,705 --> 00:30:32,830
-Right? Yeah.
-Wow!
749
00:30:32,915 --> 00:30:34,122
Holly:
Well, look at this.
750
00:30:34,208 --> 00:30:35,833
-Oh, wow.
-This looks like it's saying
751
00:30:35,918 --> 00:30:37,292
-to go to the same place.
-Matty: Yeah, it's pointing...
752
00:30:37,378 --> 00:30:38,710
-Warren: Yeah.
-Matty: Totally, yeah. If that's
753
00:30:38,796 --> 00:30:40,337
a directional marker,
it's pointing.
754
00:30:40,422 --> 00:30:42,673
-Let's check it out
-yeah. Let's check it out.
755
00:30:42,758 --> 00:30:44,758
Warren:
One of the best ways
to prove that the kgc theory
756
00:30:44,844 --> 00:30:47,010
that we're putting forward
is true
757
00:30:47,096 --> 00:30:51,515
is to show that these codes
lead to gold being recovered.
758
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,518
It's actually using
their network,
759
00:30:54,603 --> 00:30:56,854
their system of navigation
760
00:30:56,939 --> 00:31:00,023
to get back to these treasures,
to recover them.
761
00:31:00,109 --> 00:31:04,027
Oh, that is some panel.
Look at that.
762
00:31:04,113 --> 00:31:05,863
-Wow.
-Matty: What does this mean?
763
00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:07,739
Warren:
Well, this is a full panel
764
00:31:07,825 --> 00:31:10,450
of kgc inscripted messaging.
765
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:12,202
-Matty: Wow.
-The first thing
that catches my eye
766
00:31:12,288 --> 00:31:14,580
other than the stick figure
is the same symbol
767
00:31:14,665 --> 00:31:16,415
we saw that caught our eye,
right?
768
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:17,958
We saw that reflective symbol.
769
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:19,626
Matty:
Is that a bullet hole?
770
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:21,378
-I think it is.
-It looks like it.
771
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:23,088
-Looks like a...
-Look where it is,
too, in his chest.
772
00:31:23,173 --> 00:31:24,673
-Holly: It's scary.
-Matty: Right in the heart.
773
00:31:24,758 --> 00:31:27,509
And, uh, I'm just taking
something in right here. I see
774
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:29,136
a 33 right below
775
00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:31,680
-your hand there.
Maybe a 33 or 32.
-Matty: Oh, wow.
776
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:34,808
Warren:
Again, 33rd degree
scottish rite freemason,
777
00:31:34,894 --> 00:31:36,435
that was jesse james.
778
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,854
-Hey, look at that.
-Holly: I know, I see that.
779
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:40,856
-Look under your arm there.
-Matty: Oh!
780
00:31:40,941 --> 00:31:42,566
-Warren: That is...
-Matty: Is that a hook?
What is that?
781
00:31:42,651 --> 00:31:45,444
That's the jj.
That's the backward jj. That is
782
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:46,778
the ultimate jesse james sign.
783
00:31:46,864 --> 00:31:49,114
The backward "j"
is making an anchor.
784
00:31:49,199 --> 00:31:51,158
-Matty: Oh, I see,
it's js back to back.
-Warren: Upside down.
785
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:52,743
-There you go,
two js back to back.
-Holly: Yeah.
786
00:31:52,828 --> 00:31:54,077
You've seen this before,
787
00:31:54,163 --> 00:31:55,412
and this is a symbol
for jesse james.
788
00:31:55,456 --> 00:31:57,915
-Yeah, it's his signature.
-Wow.
789
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,499
You should see the next site,
though.
790
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,085
We're going to a totally
new site if you want to go.
791
00:32:02,171 --> 00:32:03,837
-Let's do it. No.
-Yeah. I think you'll love it.
792
00:32:03,923 --> 00:32:06,506
Matty:
Hey, that's what
I came here for. Let's go.
793
00:32:12,056 --> 00:32:14,723
Matty:
Let's dial 'em up here.
794
00:32:14,808 --> 00:32:16,516
All right,
now if you stand here,
795
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:17,935
you'll be able
to see them in a second.
796
00:32:17,978 --> 00:32:19,311
Oh, yeah. Cool.
797
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:20,604
Narrator:
Having just explored
798
00:32:20,648 --> 00:32:22,105
several mysterious sites
799
00:32:22,191 --> 00:32:23,815
in the utah desert--
800
00:32:23,901 --> 00:32:25,943
where confederate gold
may have been buried--
801
00:32:26,028 --> 00:32:29,154
matty blake and treasure hunter
warren getler
802
00:32:29,239 --> 00:32:30,864
give a progress report
803
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:34,117
to rick and marty lagina
back on oak island.
804
00:32:34,203 --> 00:32:36,328
-Hey, guys! -Hey, guys.
-Rick and marty, how are ya?
805
00:32:36,413 --> 00:32:38,705
We're doing fantastic,
but we're super interested
806
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:41,416
in what's going on
in utah right now.
807
00:32:41,502 --> 00:32:43,418
Look, you guys sent me out here
to see if there's anything
808
00:32:43,504 --> 00:32:45,671
to this mystery.
I can't tell you whether
809
00:32:45,756 --> 00:32:47,714
there's civil war gold
or any other type of gold here,
810
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,007
but what I can tell you is this.
811
00:32:49,093 --> 00:32:50,634
There are consistent
812
00:32:50,719 --> 00:32:54,388
pattern stone carvings
that are all over here.
813
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,264
-Wow.
-And they're consistent with
814
00:32:56,350 --> 00:32:58,308
what he's seen in other areas.
815
00:32:58,394 --> 00:33:00,769
And to me,
now you're on to something.
816
00:33:00,813 --> 00:33:03,522
So you think
these symbols are purposeful?
817
00:33:03,607 --> 00:33:06,733
In other words,
there's a real connection
818
00:33:06,819 --> 00:33:08,777
to an organized activity?
819
00:33:08,862 --> 00:33:10,696
Yeah, I mean, we're...
It's not just graffiti, is it?
820
00:33:10,781 --> 00:33:12,447
Warren:
It definitely was a system
821
00:33:12,533 --> 00:33:15,158
that they created
in the south and the southwest,
822
00:33:15,244 --> 00:33:17,577
and the way
to find it is systematically,
823
00:33:17,663 --> 00:33:20,122
you follow clue to clue,
cipher to cipher.
824
00:33:20,207 --> 00:33:21,873
And you may find something.
825
00:33:21,959 --> 00:33:25,002
Hey, one of the things that
came up in our conversation
826
00:33:25,087 --> 00:33:27,129
when we embarked on this is
that jesse james
827
00:33:27,214 --> 00:33:29,965
was involved. Are you seeing any
verification of that?
828
00:33:30,050 --> 00:33:33,844
Yeah, it was amazing. I saw
the "jj," which is jesse james,
829
00:33:33,887 --> 00:33:35,387
either like this in order,
830
00:33:35,472 --> 00:33:37,556
or two back-to-backs,
forming an anchor.
831
00:33:37,641 --> 00:33:39,933
It's the calling card
of jesse james.
832
00:33:40,019 --> 00:33:41,685
-Hmm.
-Rick: What's curious
833
00:33:41,770 --> 00:33:44,312
to me-- is there any connection
to any
834
00:33:44,398 --> 00:33:49,026
mason or templar,
uh, affiliation?
835
00:33:49,111 --> 00:33:50,986
Well, there's definitely
masonic connection here.
836
00:33:51,071 --> 00:33:54,031
Some of the cryptic panels
we saw
837
00:33:54,116 --> 00:33:56,908
definitely had the masonic 33,
33rd degree.
838
00:33:56,994 --> 00:33:58,869
And, um, going back
839
00:33:58,954 --> 00:34:00,495
to the templars, I'd say
840
00:34:00,581 --> 00:34:03,206
their ideology
was somewhat templar focused.
841
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:06,877
Matty:
Yeah, it was pretty stunning,
guys, to see
842
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,088
the same type of symbols
that we see on oak island,
843
00:34:10,174 --> 00:34:11,882
and I asked warren about that.
844
00:34:11,967 --> 00:34:14,051
You know, does that mean
templars were out here?
845
00:34:14,136 --> 00:34:17,429
Of course not. Simply, what
it might mean is that the kgc
846
00:34:17,514 --> 00:34:21,224
was copying the way
that templars hid treasure.
847
00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:23,435
-Yeah. The methodology. Yeah.
-The methodology.
848
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,728
-Mm-hmm.
-Rick: So it sounds like
849
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:27,147
the-the trip has
been very fruitful.
850
00:34:27,232 --> 00:34:29,858
Some of these statements that
you made are quite stunning.
851
00:34:29,943 --> 00:34:31,818
So please keep us informed.
852
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:34,863
Marty:
Yeah, get us
whatever information you can,
853
00:34:34,948 --> 00:34:36,865
and then when you get back here,
we can go over it all.
854
00:34:36,950 --> 00:34:38,158
All right, guys.
I'll see you soon.
855
00:34:38,243 --> 00:34:39,659
See you guys. Thank you.
856
00:34:39,745 --> 00:34:41,620
-Thank you.
-Appreciate all the hard work.
857
00:34:41,705 --> 00:34:44,581
Narrator: After reporting in
to rick and marty lagina...
858
00:34:44,666 --> 00:34:47,292
Warren: Matty, look
at this lava rock here.
859
00:34:47,377 --> 00:34:51,254
Narrator: ...Matty blake
and warren getler rejoin
860
00:34:51,298 --> 00:34:54,091
treasure hunter holly remkes
at one of the most dramatic
861
00:34:54,176 --> 00:34:57,094
and mysterious sites she has
uncovered in the utah desert.
862
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:59,471
Holly:
You're gonna love this.
863
00:34:59,556 --> 00:35:02,099
Narrator:
Holly believes
that the symbology carved
864
00:35:02,184 --> 00:35:05,060
into the side of one
of the rock faces located here
865
00:35:05,145 --> 00:35:07,729
could lead directly
to a massive treasure vault
866
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:10,607
hidden
by the secret organization
867
00:35:10,692 --> 00:35:13,985
known as "the knights
of the golden circle."
868
00:35:14,071 --> 00:35:15,821
oh, is that it right there?
I see it.
869
00:35:15,906 --> 00:35:17,697
-Yes. Isn't it awesome?
-Yeah, it's amazing.
870
00:35:17,783 --> 00:35:19,741
Oh, wow. Look at that.
871
00:35:19,827 --> 00:35:22,285
-Yeah, this is a legit...
Kgc panel.
-Matty: Unbelievable.
872
00:35:22,371 --> 00:35:24,913
Matty:
Being here, I can actually see
the difference
873
00:35:24,998 --> 00:35:27,040
between what looks like someone
just rubbing on the rock
874
00:35:27,126 --> 00:35:28,583
and those things are...
875
00:35:28,669 --> 00:35:30,001
-Those are carved into the rock.
-Warren: Mm-hmm.
876
00:35:30,087 --> 00:35:31,545
Here's the thing
that's killing me.
877
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:33,380
Right here, look at this.
I see "jj." that is...
878
00:35:33,465 --> 00:35:34,881
-Matty: Oh, wow! Jj.
-Holly: Yeah.
-That is...
879
00:35:34,967 --> 00:35:36,633
That is... That is
the telltale signature.
880
00:35:36,718 --> 00:35:38,593
Holly:
Well, I see the 33.
881
00:35:38,637 --> 00:35:40,470
-Kind of coded within that.
-Oh, wow. Oh!
882
00:35:40,514 --> 00:35:42,973
The seven becomes
the arc of the...
883
00:35:43,058 --> 00:35:44,599
Holly:
Yup, that's what I can see.
884
00:35:44,685 --> 00:35:47,477
33rd degree scottish rite mason
jesse james.
885
00:35:47,563 --> 00:35:50,272
-Oh, wow.
-This is interesting, too.
886
00:35:50,357 --> 00:35:53,024
The face.
That's super important
887
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:54,568
in treasure hunting, the face.
888
00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:57,362
You believe
that he is somehow indicating
889
00:35:57,447 --> 00:35:59,156
that there's treasure
right around here, yeah?
890
00:35:59,241 --> 00:36:01,449
Yes, he's got the symbol,
that's his ear. Uh...
891
00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:03,869
Blake:
Yeah, it doesn't look
like a normal ear.
892
00:36:03,954 --> 00:36:05,328
And I've seen it in a lot
of treasure hunting books,
893
00:36:05,414 --> 00:36:07,497
-and it means "gold nearby."
-uh-huh.
894
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:12,961
Warren:
To me, it's a map basically
telling you what to do.
895
00:36:13,046 --> 00:36:15,005
My interpretation would be, go
to where the eye is pointing,
896
00:36:15,090 --> 00:36:17,090
in that direction,
897
00:36:17,176 --> 00:36:20,177
and there'll be something very
important where you need to go.
898
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:23,054
-Yeah.
-Holly, can we go in the
direction the eye is looking?
899
00:36:23,140 --> 00:36:24,598
-Yes! Okay, yup.
-All right, let's do it.
900
00:36:24,683 --> 00:36:26,516
I want to see
if there's anything over there.
901
00:36:26,602 --> 00:36:28,894
Narrator:
The treasure hunters
follow the clue
902
00:36:28,979 --> 00:36:30,896
directing them to the north,
903
00:36:30,981 --> 00:36:33,440
but they must navigate
dangerous terrain,
904
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:36,193
going up and over rocks.
905
00:36:36,278 --> 00:36:38,320
And finally,
on the edge of a cliff,
906
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:41,156
they find another set
of petroglyphs.
907
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,783
-Matty: Look at this.
-Warren: Oh, yeah.
-Sure.
908
00:36:43,869 --> 00:36:46,203
Matty:
His face
909
00:36:46,288 --> 00:36:48,455
-is pointing right here.
-Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
910
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:50,999
Look at this, how they did
the compass and square.
911
00:36:51,084 --> 00:36:53,084
Yeah, the masonic square
and compass right there.
912
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:54,961
Matty:
The shapes
of those letters are masonic
913
00:36:55,047 --> 00:36:56,504
-in themselves?
-Warren: Yeah.
914
00:36:56,590 --> 00:36:58,173
-Matty: Pretty stunning.
-Yeah.
915
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:00,759
But you need to see what's
around the corner from us.
916
00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:03,178
-What, there's more over here?
-Oh, yeah.
917
00:37:03,263 --> 00:37:06,348
They don't just leave one thing
to tell you where the spot is.
918
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:09,559
-You need to be sure.
-All right, I'll check it out.
919
00:37:09,645 --> 00:37:10,936
-Over here, holly?
-Yeah.
920
00:37:11,021 --> 00:37:12,562
Just watch your footing, though,
921
00:37:12,648 --> 00:37:14,898
-because it's kind of steep.
-Yeah, you got it.
922
00:37:16,026 --> 00:37:18,860
-oh, wow. I see it!
923
00:37:18,946 --> 00:37:22,322
This kind of looks like
a little chamber or vault to me.
924
00:37:28,163 --> 00:37:29,454
Ght, guys, I'm heading
down. I saw that writing.
925
00:37:29,539 --> 00:37:31,373
It looks like writing
on this rock.
926
00:37:31,416 --> 00:37:33,291
Narrator:
Just outside fillmore, utah,
927
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:37,337
treasure hunters
holly remkes and warren getler
928
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:38,964
have taken matty blake
to what they believe
929
00:37:39,049 --> 00:37:41,341
could be an important site
930
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:42,759
connected to jesse james
931
00:37:42,844 --> 00:37:44,803
and a treasure cache
of buried gold.
932
00:37:44,888 --> 00:37:46,304
All right, guys, I'm down here.
933
00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:47,889
It's definitely carving.
934
00:37:47,975 --> 00:37:50,684
I can't really make out
what it is.
935
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:53,853
Pour some water to visualize.
936
00:37:57,526 --> 00:38:00,360
Oh, my gosh.
937
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:03,071
J, period, h.
938
00:38:03,156 --> 00:38:05,949
"j.H. Squires."
939
00:38:06,034 --> 00:38:08,660
do we know anything
about squires, or that...?
940
00:38:08,745 --> 00:38:11,121
Warren:
Oh! Hold on.
941
00:38:11,206 --> 00:38:12,622
It just dawned on me.
942
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:14,874
What, my friends,
is a squire? A knight.
943
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,377
-A knight of the golden circle?
-Yes.
944
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,212
Jesse knight!
945
00:38:19,298 --> 00:38:21,089
Could that be another allusion
to jesse james then?
946
00:38:21,174 --> 00:38:25,885
Yes. Jesse, the knight
of the golden circle.
947
00:38:25,971 --> 00:38:28,763
Matty:
Wow. I could be sitting down
948
00:38:28,849 --> 00:38:31,850
where jesse james
carved his name!
949
00:38:31,935 --> 00:38:34,102
Warren:
Coming out here
with matty to meet
950
00:38:34,187 --> 00:38:36,771
with holly validates
so much of what we believe.
951
00:38:36,857 --> 00:38:38,690
To me, it's the biggest story
952
00:38:38,775 --> 00:38:41,151
out there in american history.
In hidden history, this is it.
953
00:38:41,236 --> 00:38:42,444
The knights
of the golden circle.
954
00:38:42,529 --> 00:38:44,237
Their power, their treasure.
955
00:38:44,323 --> 00:38:46,156
Matty:
All right, guys,
I'm coming out, all right?
956
00:38:46,241 --> 00:38:48,742
Warren:
You're starting
to see the size and scope
957
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:51,286
of this thing.
It's enormous.
958
00:38:51,371 --> 00:38:53,455
Wow. I did not expect that.
959
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:57,459
I mean, it's clear as day--
"j squires."
960
00:38:57,544 --> 00:38:59,669
so clearly, something... They
were up to something up here.
961
00:38:59,713 --> 00:39:01,129
And it's not an easy place
962
00:39:01,214 --> 00:39:02,756
to get to, to do this work.
Is this something
963
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:05,050
that maybe you hope
to some day go after?
964
00:39:05,135 --> 00:39:06,885
-Or are you just trying
to find out the story?
-Well...
965
00:39:06,970 --> 00:39:08,386
I think it'd be neat, but
I think laws need to be changed
966
00:39:08,472 --> 00:39:10,263
-if we were to go after this.
-Warren: Yeah.
967
00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:12,265
This is bureau of land
management property,
968
00:39:12,351 --> 00:39:15,185
-federal property
under the blm's guidance.
-Okay.
969
00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:17,687
And they don't allow
treasure recovery.
970
00:39:17,773 --> 00:39:20,357
Warren:
Is it a coincidence
971
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,735
only that where kgc sites are,
972
00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:26,112
they become federal land
973
00:39:26,198 --> 00:39:28,740
where no treasure
recovery is allowed?
974
00:39:28,825 --> 00:39:30,742
Holly, I can't thank you enough
975
00:39:30,827 --> 00:39:33,078
for all your research
and for taking me up here.
976
00:39:33,163 --> 00:39:34,579
-Warren,
thank you for your expertise.
-It's my pleasure.
977
00:39:34,664 --> 00:39:36,539
-Yeah, it's cool.
-I'm excited that you were able
978
00:39:36,625 --> 00:39:39,376
to come and see this. I'm glad
you weren't disappointed.
979
00:39:39,461 --> 00:39:40,877
It exceeded my expectations,
to be honest.
980
00:39:40,962 --> 00:39:42,629
-Awesome.
-Uh, incredible.
981
00:39:42,714 --> 00:39:44,047
Let's head down, huh?
982
00:39:52,224 --> 00:39:55,475
Marty: Matty blake. Fresh back
from the desert southwest.
983
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,810
-Right?
-Yeah.
-Our eyes and boots.
984
00:39:56,895 --> 00:39:58,812
-Talk to us.
985
00:39:58,897 --> 00:40:01,856
I-I... I'm still processing it,
guys. What a trip.
986
00:40:01,942 --> 00:40:04,567
I mean, there were a couple
of parallels
987
00:40:04,653 --> 00:40:06,569
to oak island
as we've had happen
988
00:40:06,655 --> 00:40:08,321
with these other
treasure mysteries.
989
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:11,032
Um, you know, we were looking
at all these symbols,
990
00:40:11,118 --> 00:40:13,076
and we're discovering
these things as we go,
991
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,494
and I'm just going,
"wow. Rock carvings.
992
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:15,995
-Where have I seen this before?"
-marty: Yup.
993
00:40:16,081 --> 00:40:17,831
You know, right here.
994
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:20,417
And I've learned a lot about
that and what that could mean
995
00:40:20,502 --> 00:40:22,836
and how they're left as calling
cards or perhaps warnings,
996
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:25,964
-like the 90 foot stone, or...
-Or boobytraps.
997
00:40:26,049 --> 00:40:27,590
Or boobytraps.
998
00:40:29,636 --> 00:40:31,261
So where do you guys stand?
999
00:40:31,346 --> 00:40:35,598
On the possibility that
civil war era confederate gold
1000
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:37,809
may be laying
in the american southwest?
1001
00:40:37,894 --> 00:40:40,270
Is there civil war gold missing?
1002
00:40:40,355 --> 00:40:43,481
Confederate gold missing?
I would say, almost a certainty.
1003
00:40:43,567 --> 00:40:46,985
-Hmm.
-How much, where, uh,
1004
00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:49,946
-in what manner did it
disappear? All unknown.
-Hmm.
1005
00:40:50,031 --> 00:40:52,949
I mean, my parameters,
if you will,
1006
00:40:53,034 --> 00:40:55,201
are always the "w"s, right?
1007
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:57,036
Who, what, when, where,
why and how?
1008
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:59,622
Well, you're chasing
a known who--
1009
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:01,666
-the knights
of the golden circle.
-Right.
1010
00:41:01,751 --> 00:41:03,918
You might be able
to expand on that
1011
00:41:04,004 --> 00:41:05,753
because of the possible
masonic connection,
1012
00:41:05,839 --> 00:41:07,797
the possible
rosicrucian connection,
1013
00:41:07,841 --> 00:41:09,674
the possible
templar connection.
1014
00:41:09,759 --> 00:41:12,719
You know, you've got a very
well-known historical figure
1015
00:41:12,804 --> 00:41:14,637
connected with this--
jesse james.
1016
00:41:14,723 --> 00:41:19,684
So, there are pathways
to get to a final answer.
1017
00:41:19,769 --> 00:41:22,979
-Very interesting.
-So, what do you
1018
00:41:23,064 --> 00:41:25,899
and/or warren want to do next?
Where do we go with this?
1019
00:41:25,984 --> 00:41:27,358
Or where does he go with this?
1020
00:41:27,444 --> 00:41:29,569
Well, for him,
I think a site like this--
1021
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:32,989
it is an exhilarating
corroboration
1022
00:41:33,074 --> 00:41:34,324
of all the work he's done.
1023
00:41:34,409 --> 00:41:35,492
This is proving his theory.
1024
00:41:35,577 --> 00:41:37,243
You're actually fairly enthused?
1025
00:41:37,329 --> 00:41:39,996
I'm definitely interested in
what warren is going to do next.
1026
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:41,372
-Yes.
-Okay, well, there you go.
1027
00:41:41,458 --> 00:41:43,750
Look, good job, matty.
Real good job.
1028
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:45,168
You stay on that. Maybe come up
1029
00:41:45,253 --> 00:41:47,045
with the one thing
that proves that.
1030
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:49,839
We can get back to our own.
1031
00:41:49,883 --> 00:41:52,800
Great. You've got it, guys.
Let's go find you some gold.
1032
00:41:52,886 --> 00:41:55,261
-Yeah.
-Let's do it.
-Right.
1033
00:41:55,347 --> 00:41:59,015
