00:00:01,359 --> 00:00:04,083
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:04,208 --> 00:00:05,851
We're following
the trail of the gold.
3
00:00:05,875 --> 00:00:07,643
There's a highly
unusual source of gold here.
4
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:09,792
- Hey, look at this.
- Nice.
5
00:00:09,917 --> 00:00:12,226
If you can get a date off of
that, you could date this wall.
6
00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:16,208
We're talking about
1650 to about 1690.
7
00:00:16,333 --> 00:00:17,875
Come on in, Bill.
8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,083
We're digging up a hidden well.
9
00:00:20,208 --> 00:00:23,333
Oh, look
at that. That's fantastic!
10
00:00:23,417 --> 00:00:26,083
There's definitely higher
counts of gold here.
11
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:28,625
- That's exciting.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
12
00:00:31,375 --> 00:00:34,417
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
13
00:00:34,542 --> 00:00:37,042
where people have
been looking for
14
00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:41,042
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
15
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,083
So far, they have
found a stone slab
16
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,333
with strange symbols
carved into it...
17
00:00:47,542 --> 00:00:50,750
man-made workings that
date to medieval times,
18
00:00:50,875 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
19
00:00:55,167 --> 00:00:56,167
to the Knights Templar.
20
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,042
To date, six men have died
21
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:02,000
trying to solve the mystery.
22
00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:07,167
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
23
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:09,667
before the treasure
can be found.
24
00:01:22,042 --> 00:01:23,833
- Hey, guys.
- Hello, Marty.
25
00:01:23,958 --> 00:01:25,667
As a new day begins
26
00:01:25,792 --> 00:01:27,333
on Oak Island for brothers
27
00:01:27,458 --> 00:01:29,875
Rick and Marty
Lagina and their team...
28
00:01:30,042 --> 00:01:31,542
Okay, Rod, Paul,
29
00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:33,351
I see you have us set up
with camera. That's great.
30
00:01:33,375 --> 00:01:34,851
The belief that they are close
31
00:01:34,875 --> 00:01:37,000
to a groundbreaking discovery
32
00:01:37,167 --> 00:01:39,542
in the Money Pit area
has never been stronger.
33
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:42,708
Rod, where are we
currently with the dig?
34
00:01:42,833 --> 00:01:46,167
- We're just putting in our set now at 50... roughly 56 feet.
- Yeah.
35
00:01:46,292 --> 00:01:48,917
Working with representatives
36
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:50,417
from Dumas Contracting Limited,
37
00:01:50,542 --> 00:01:53,417
they have reached a
depth of nearly 60 feet
38
00:01:53,542 --> 00:01:57,042
with the reconstruction of
the so-called Garden Shaft,
39
00:01:57,167 --> 00:01:59,750
a dilapidated,
80-foot-deep structure
40
00:01:59,875 --> 00:02:03,333
that may not only be related
to the original Money Pit,
41
00:02:03,458 --> 00:02:05,500
but might also hold the keys
42
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:10,000
to solving a 228-year-old
treasure mystery.
43
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:12,000
We want you to do
something here, Rod.
44
00:02:12,125 --> 00:02:14,208
Uh, when you were
drilling your holes,
45
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:17,000
Rick had you hand over
some of those wood samples.
46
00:02:17,167 --> 00:02:19,083
Well, it turns out that
we had those tested,
47
00:02:19,208 --> 00:02:22,000
and there's gold in those.
48
00:02:22,125 --> 00:02:24,167
Drill's going in now.
49
00:02:24,292 --> 00:02:25,476
- All right, bud. We're in business.
- Yup.
50
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:26,833
One week ago...
51
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
If we get
lucky, this'll tell us.
52
00:02:29,167 --> 00:02:32,167
After conducting
exploratory probe-drilling
53
00:02:32,333 --> 00:02:35,708
from within the shaft
at a depth of 55 feet,
54
00:02:35,875 --> 00:02:37,583
the team had archaeometallurgist
55
00:02:37,708 --> 00:02:41,375
Emma Culligan test
a sample of wood,
56
00:02:41,542 --> 00:02:46,417
taken from the original feature,
for signs of precious metals.
57
00:02:46,542 --> 00:02:49,708
From this one, I detected gold.
58
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:52,000
- Wow.
- 0.11%
59
00:02:52,125 --> 00:02:53,285
Isn't that like a big number?
60
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:55,333
This is huge.
61
00:02:56,708 --> 00:02:59,667
We're gonna
want to take more samples.
62
00:02:59,792 --> 00:03:03,250
And while your guys are down
there, can they cut a section
63
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:05,542
of that tight lining
and get us a piece?
64
00:03:05,708 --> 00:03:07,167
Yeah. Yeah.
65
00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:09,333
Now, while Dumas
66
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,750
completes the final
eight-foot sections,
67
00:03:11,875 --> 00:03:13,167
or sets, of the Garden Shaft...
68
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:15,417
Hello, Dan. Do you got a copy?
69
00:03:15,542 --> 00:03:17,351
Down to
a total depth of 80 feet...
70
00:03:17,375 --> 00:03:18,833
What's going on?
71
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,167
Can you take out a piece
72
00:03:20,292 --> 00:03:21,833
of the tight lining
and send it up?
73
00:03:21,958 --> 00:03:24,250
- No problem at all.
- Thank you.
74
00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:25,768
The Oak
Island team will continue
75
00:03:25,792 --> 00:03:28,500
testing samples of
the original structure
76
00:03:28,667 --> 00:03:31,958
in an effort to pinpoint just
where the ultimate source
77
00:03:32,083 --> 00:03:33,917
of the gold may be located.
78
00:03:34,042 --> 00:03:36,500
I bet you wouldn't have thought
there'd be gold in that wood.
79
00:03:36,667 --> 00:03:38,143
I would never have thought
there'd be gold in that wood.
80
00:03:38,167 --> 00:03:40,375
Well, there is. I don't
know what to make of it.
81
00:03:40,542 --> 00:03:42,667
- We're trying to figure it out.
- Okay.
82
00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:45,208
- There's our sample. I'll go grab it. Yeah.
- Good deal.
83
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:48,208
If we find gold
at this 50-foot depth,
84
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:50,167
then we have two alternatives.
85
00:03:50,292 --> 00:03:52,167
The source of the
gold either went deeper,
86
00:03:52,292 --> 00:03:53,833
or it was actually emanating
87
00:03:53,917 --> 00:03:57,333
from the Garden Shaft
and is much closer.
88
00:03:57,458 --> 00:03:59,498
So, there could be something
like an offset chamber,
89
00:03:59,583 --> 00:04:02,792
shallower than we realized,
and that would be great.
90
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:05,333
Well, those ought to do.
91
00:04:05,417 --> 00:04:07,750
Those are some
pretty good chunks.
92
00:04:07,875 --> 00:04:09,917
Should be good enough
for a sample size off of that.
93
00:04:10,042 --> 00:04:13,167
- Oh, I think so, yeah.
- We have all those gold areas
94
00:04:13,292 --> 00:04:15,250
that are in the water
over here on the corner.
95
00:04:15,375 --> 00:04:17,458
So there must be some
communication somewhere.
96
00:04:17,542 --> 00:04:20,167
Whether it's further below,
in deeper caverns and tunnels
97
00:04:20,292 --> 00:04:21,667
that extend out
into the Money Pit.
98
00:04:21,792 --> 00:04:24,542
- But somewhere there's a contact point.
- Yeah.
99
00:04:24,708 --> 00:04:28,167
Okay, well, look, these are
the samples from 58 feet, right?
100
00:04:28,333 --> 00:04:29,518
- Yeah.
- We're gonna want more, I guarantee it.
101
00:04:29,542 --> 00:04:31,167
So, stay tuned, all right?
102
00:04:31,292 --> 00:04:33,208
Especially after we
get the results of this.
103
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,173
- Perfect.
- Yup, okay. Thank you, guys.
104
00:04:35,292 --> 00:04:37,000
- Thank you.
- All right.
105
00:04:37,083 --> 00:04:38,875
While the reconstruction
106
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,292
of the Garden Shaft continues
in the Money Pit area...
107
00:04:42,417 --> 00:04:46,042
Gentlemen, I'm glad we're here.
108
00:04:46,167 --> 00:04:48,000
I was speaking with
Tom the other day,
109
00:04:48,083 --> 00:04:49,375
and he's come up with an idea:
110
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,417
developing a new search agenda
111
00:04:51,542 --> 00:04:53,708
based on your
father's work, of course.
112
00:04:53,875 --> 00:04:56,250
Rick Lagina, along with fellow
113
00:04:56,375 --> 00:04:58,667
Oak Island landowner Tom Nolan,
114
00:04:58,833 --> 00:05:01,167
gather in the war room
with members of the team
115
00:05:01,292 --> 00:05:04,000
for an important meeting
regarding the decades
116
00:05:04,125 --> 00:05:06,167
of documented search activity
117
00:05:06,292 --> 00:05:09,833
conducted by Tom's
late father, Fred Nolan.
118
00:05:09,917 --> 00:05:12,250
I think we're all going
to find it very interesting.
119
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:14,015
So, Tom, I'm going
to turn it over to you.
120
00:05:14,125 --> 00:05:16,958
Well, in the early '80s,
121
00:05:17,042 --> 00:05:21,875
my dad started to compose a
book of his work on the island.
122
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,375
And it was never published.
123
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:28,792
But it does give, you
know, a really good read,
124
00:05:28,917 --> 00:05:30,958
of his work over the
years on the island.
125
00:05:34,458 --> 00:05:37,667
From the early 1960s
126
00:05:37,792 --> 00:05:41,958
until his passing in
2016, Fred Nolan,
127
00:05:42,083 --> 00:05:45,333
a professional surveyor
from Halifax, Nova Scotia,
128
00:05:45,458 --> 00:05:48,667
made some of the most
important discoveries
129
00:05:48,792 --> 00:05:51,042
in the history of the
Oak Island treasure hunt
130
00:05:51,208 --> 00:05:53,042
on the six lots that he owned.
131
00:05:53,208 --> 00:05:57,250
These include numerous
parts of a large sailing vessel
132
00:05:57,375 --> 00:05:59,667
that he found in the
triangle-shaped swamp,
133
00:05:59,792 --> 00:06:03,542
as well as the megalithic
formation of six boulders
134
00:06:03,708 --> 00:06:07,708
that came to be known
as "Nolan's Cross."
135
00:06:07,833 --> 00:06:10,458
Back in the 1970s,
136
00:06:10,542 --> 00:06:13,500
we were working around
the outer edge of the swamp,
137
00:06:13,583 --> 00:06:15,042
and we got into a well.
138
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:18,417
It had been filled
in and buried.
139
00:06:18,542 --> 00:06:22,000
As I recall, I'm going to
say it was ten feet deep.
140
00:06:22,125 --> 00:06:24,708
But one of the odd things was,
141
00:06:24,833 --> 00:06:27,153
when we got to the... what we
assumed was the bottom of it,
142
00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:32,000
we came across a tremendous
amount of broken pottery.
143
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:36,000
- Wow.
- Like somebody had just taken everything they had
144
00:06:36,167 --> 00:06:39,125
and smashed it and thrown
it to the bottom of this well.
145
00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:41,333
We didn't know
what to make of it.
146
00:06:41,458 --> 00:06:43,000
Filled it back in.
147
00:06:43,125 --> 00:06:46,000
But it's interesting where you
guys have found this well on 26.
148
00:06:46,125 --> 00:06:49,083
- You just might want to have a look at that.
- Yeah.
149
00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:51,101
- I'd be happy to go out there and take a look at it.
- Yeah.
150
00:06:51,125 --> 00:06:53,500
- Yeah.
- We can come up with some answers
151
00:06:53,667 --> 00:06:55,027
as to why this
thing was put there.
152
00:06:55,083 --> 00:06:56,833
I mean, I-I think
153
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,792
it's certainly worth our
time to investigate it.
154
00:06:59,875 --> 00:07:02,250
Well, I mean, I
see no reason not to dig it.
155
00:07:02,375 --> 00:07:06,708
- Uh, me personally.
- Yeah. - Yes.
156
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:09,875
So, there is another
thing. My dad discovered,
157
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,542
in the early '90s,
something that we refer to
158
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:17,583
as "the quadrilateral."
159
00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:21,792
He found it using some
sort of an offset sightline
160
00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:22,958
of the cross.
161
00:07:23,083 --> 00:07:25,333
It's within, oh,
162
00:07:25,458 --> 00:07:28,375
a couple hundred feet
of the top of the cross
163
00:07:28,542 --> 00:07:31,583
on the north side of the swamp.
164
00:07:31,708 --> 00:07:34,167
When they did get into the
site, and they cleared it off,
165
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:35,583
they brought in a small backhoe,
166
00:07:35,708 --> 00:07:37,708
and they did a little bit
of light excavation work,
167
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:39,875
and what they
found themselves in
168
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,833
was some sort
of a boulder field.
169
00:07:41,958 --> 00:07:44,458
And it definitely
170
00:07:44,542 --> 00:07:47,833
didn't look natural once
they started to uncover it.
171
00:07:48,958 --> 00:07:51,500
This is the section in the
book that was dedicated
172
00:07:51,667 --> 00:07:53,167
to the quadrilateral.
173
00:07:53,292 --> 00:07:54,500
As you can see what...
174
00:07:54,667 --> 00:07:57,167
What are the diagrams?
175
00:07:57,333 --> 00:08:00,375
So, here are his pictures
176
00:08:00,542 --> 00:08:03,375
of how he sketched
out the quadrilateral.
177
00:08:03,542 --> 00:08:05,167
You can see it's...
178
00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:08,958
On its long side, it's
probably 32 feet long.
179
00:08:09,042 --> 00:08:11,000
Runs about ten feet deep
180
00:08:11,083 --> 00:08:14,333
with three layers
of large boulders.
181
00:08:14,458 --> 00:08:17,208
That's intriguing, right?
182
00:08:17,333 --> 00:08:18,708
- Very intriguing.
- No farmer
183
00:08:18,833 --> 00:08:20,184
working the island
would have done this.
184
00:08:20,208 --> 00:08:21,667
It-it has another purpose.
185
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:24,833
- Mm-hmm.
- Is the whole thing dug out?
186
00:08:24,958 --> 00:08:27,625
Or are we able to do
some sort of an excavation?
187
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:29,875
He partially back-filled it.
188
00:08:30,042 --> 00:08:33,833
So, I mean, yeah, it could
certainly be re-excavated.
189
00:08:33,917 --> 00:08:35,601
Well, I'll tell you what.
Here's what we'll do.
190
00:08:35,625 --> 00:08:37,667
And I think this is
exceedingly interesting.
191
00:08:37,792 --> 00:08:39,250
And we need to
explore this further.
192
00:08:39,375 --> 00:08:42,042
But I would advocate
to explore this well
193
00:08:42,208 --> 00:08:44,000
that you're referencing first
194
00:08:44,125 --> 00:08:46,917
because the well is in the
northern end of the swamp,
195
00:08:47,042 --> 00:08:49,917
- and we know the swamp was manipulated.
- Yup.
196
00:08:50,042 --> 00:08:52,375
The well on Tom's property...
197
00:08:52,542 --> 00:08:54,167
It's interesting
for two reasons.
198
00:08:54,292 --> 00:08:57,375
One, it's a hidden well.
That's how Fred described it.
199
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,708
There are other
wells on the island.
200
00:08:59,875 --> 00:09:01,833
They're all open.
They weren't filled in.
201
00:09:01,917 --> 00:09:06,292
The quadrilateral is a
unique geometric figure,
202
00:09:06,417 --> 00:09:08,333
and we will look
into it further.
203
00:09:08,458 --> 00:09:11,458
First, let's dig the
well out properly.
204
00:09:11,583 --> 00:09:13,333
Well, I think we all
want answers here.
205
00:09:13,458 --> 00:09:15,625
So, we better get at
it and get out there.
206
00:09:15,708 --> 00:09:17,583
- Right? -Yeah.
- Let's do it.
207
00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:20,792
Let's try to figure this out.
208
00:09:21,958 --> 00:09:24,167
Later that afternoon...
209
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:27,167
Come on in, Bill.
210
00:09:27,292 --> 00:09:29,500
Probably about here.
211
00:09:29,583 --> 00:09:31,292
All right.
212
00:09:31,417 --> 00:09:33,167
Rick and Alex Lagina,
213
00:09:33,292 --> 00:09:36,625
along with Billy
Gerhardt, arrive on Lot 11,
214
00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:41,167
near the northern edge of
the triangle-shaped swamp.
215
00:09:41,333 --> 00:09:43,000
I'd work from the outside in,
216
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,125
- so we don't tear it up.
- All right.
217
00:09:45,208 --> 00:09:47,917
Having been given the location
218
00:09:48,042 --> 00:09:51,375
of a reported buried
well by Tom Nolan,
219
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:54,750
they are eager to excavate
the feature and look for clues
220
00:09:54,875 --> 00:09:59,542
that might help solve
the 228-year-old mystery.
221
00:10:01,875 --> 00:10:04,042
Another little mini
treasure hunt for you, Gary.
222
00:10:04,167 --> 00:10:05,750
Ooh, wow.
223
00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:07,809
As you well know, Fred did
not have a metal detector.
224
00:10:07,833 --> 00:10:09,684
- No.
- He wasn't, you know, a proponent of that.
225
00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:11,667
So, we may find something here.
226
00:10:11,792 --> 00:10:13,958
- Okay.
- First, let's figure out
227
00:10:14,083 --> 00:10:15,601
the extent of the well
and then go from there.
228
00:10:15,625 --> 00:10:16,875
- Yup.
- Yup.
229
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,958
As Billy Gerhardt
230
00:10:19,042 --> 00:10:23,792
removes muck and earth in
an effort to uncover the well,
231
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:26,333
Gary will scan the
spoils for signs of artifacts
232
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:29,167
and potential valuables.
233
00:10:40,667 --> 00:10:42,833
Going in.
234
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:48,833
Ooh!
235
00:10:52,875 --> 00:10:54,542
Ooh. Look what I see.
236
00:10:54,667 --> 00:10:56,958
I see something old.
237
00:10:57,042 --> 00:10:59,125
I just about sweep over
it with my metal detector.
238
00:10:59,208 --> 00:11:00,833
Oh, yeah.
239
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,333
Just north
of the Oak Island swamp...
240
00:11:03,458 --> 00:11:05,292
It's an old spike.
241
00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:07,500
While helping
Rick Lagina and members
242
00:11:07,625 --> 00:11:09,833
of the team uncover a mysterious
243
00:11:09,958 --> 00:11:12,875
stone well, Gary
Drayton has just found
244
00:11:13,042 --> 00:11:15,167
a potentially important clue.
245
00:11:15,292 --> 00:11:17,750
Ooh! It's our
friend, the rose head.
246
00:11:17,875 --> 00:11:19,875
It's a beauty, as well. Look!
247
00:11:20,042 --> 00:11:22,042
- These are old.
- Yeah.
248
00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:23,750
Look at that. Look
at the head on it.
249
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:26,292
Mm-hmm, yeah, it's
a rose head for sure.
250
00:11:26,417 --> 00:11:28,833
Imagine the last
person to touch that before us.
251
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,851
It might have been the
person who dug that well.
252
00:11:30,875 --> 00:11:32,500
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
253
00:11:32,583 --> 00:11:35,167
A rose head spike, meaning
254
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:38,792
that it was hand-forged some
time prior to the discovery
255
00:11:38,917 --> 00:11:41,167
of the Money Pit in 1795?
256
00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:45,333
But if so, how might it be
related to the buried well
257
00:11:45,458 --> 00:11:49,500
that Fred Nolan discovered
here more than four decades ago?
258
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:51,125
Brilliant. Oh, my God,
259
00:11:51,250 --> 00:11:52,917
that's a thing of
beauty, isn't it?
260
00:11:53,042 --> 00:11:55,018
- And in the top couple feet, too.
- Yeah.
261
00:11:55,042 --> 00:11:57,000
Question is, what
would you be doing here
262
00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:59,792
- to necessitate using that?
- Yeah. -Yeah.
263
00:11:59,875 --> 00:12:02,625
It is a really old
iron fastener.
264
00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:04,230
It's not only is it a fastener.
265
00:12:04,292 --> 00:12:06,167
- It's a big fastener, right?
- Yeah. No.
266
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:08,375
It's-it's... You'd think
tunneling or shafts.
267
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:10,667
Yeah. Yeah.
268
00:12:10,750 --> 00:12:12,333
A beautiful find.
I'm gonna bag it,
269
00:12:12,458 --> 00:12:13,833
and I'll recheck
the spoils here,
270
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,833
- see if we got anymore.
- Perfect.
271
00:12:16,958 --> 00:12:18,893
I don't know what to
make of the rose head spike
272
00:12:18,917 --> 00:12:21,667
that's in close proximity
to the hidden well.
273
00:12:21,792 --> 00:12:23,792
We have found
those in the Money Pit.
274
00:12:23,875 --> 00:12:26,167
We have found
those in Smith's Cove.
275
00:12:26,292 --> 00:12:29,333
We know for certain have
been highly manipulated
276
00:12:29,458 --> 00:12:31,000
by the hand of man.
277
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:35,250
So, that's interesting and
intriguing in and of itself.
278
00:12:35,375 --> 00:12:36,833
Nothing yet.
279
00:12:36,958 --> 00:12:38,750
So are there other
structures in proximity?
280
00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:40,125
There may be.
281
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:43,958
To what end, we
don't know quite yet.
282
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,333
I think there's
a piece of iron here.
283
00:12:52,875 --> 00:12:55,125
Looks like it could
be modern, though.
284
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:57,708
Oh, maybe I am wrong about that.
285
00:12:57,875 --> 00:13:00,333
It's singing.
286
00:13:00,458 --> 00:13:03,000
Oh-ho! Look what we got.
287
00:13:03,875 --> 00:13:05,667
Look at this!
288
00:13:05,792 --> 00:13:07,250
A hook.
289
00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:09,750
An old hook, as
well, by the look of it.
290
00:13:09,875 --> 00:13:13,333
Maybe it was a hook connected
291
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:16,333
when they were bringing
the water out the well.
292
00:13:16,458 --> 00:13:18,042
Yeah.
293
00:13:18,167 --> 00:13:21,333
- Yeah, that could be.
- Yeah. -Yeah.
294
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,625
That looks really old.
295
00:13:23,708 --> 00:13:25,583
That's an hand-forged hook.
296
00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:27,559
- Yeah, you can kind of see the striations on the tip.
- Yeah.
297
00:13:27,583 --> 00:13:29,042
The point.
298
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:31,958
We have found a...
another hook on the island.
299
00:13:32,042 --> 00:13:34,042
- Remember that bunk hook?
- Mm-hmm.
300
00:13:34,208 --> 00:13:37,250
That Carmen ID'd as from 1600s?
301
00:13:37,375 --> 00:13:40,000
Same date range would
be nice or even older.
302
00:13:40,125 --> 00:13:41,875
Mm-hmm.
303
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Oh, my goodness.
What the hell is that?
304
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:45,917
Earlier this year,
305
00:13:46,042 --> 00:13:47,792
while investigating Lot 8,
306
00:13:47,917 --> 00:13:50,083
less than a quarter
mile to the west,
307
00:13:50,208 --> 00:13:54,458
Gary and Marty Lagina unearthed
a 17th-century bunk hook...
308
00:13:54,583 --> 00:13:59,792
A tool specifically designed
for lifting heavy cargo.
309
00:13:59,917 --> 00:14:01,877
- Another good candidate for the lab.
- Yeah. Yup.
310
00:14:01,958 --> 00:14:03,667
Is it possible
311
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:05,667
that Gary has found
a similar artifact
312
00:14:05,833 --> 00:14:08,667
near the reported buried well?
313
00:14:08,792 --> 00:14:12,000
And of course, we'll
show it to Carmen Legge,
314
00:14:12,125 --> 00:14:14,005
- and hopefully, he'll know...
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
315
00:14:14,125 --> 00:14:15,708
What this was used for.
316
00:14:15,875 --> 00:14:18,250
- All right. I'm gonna bag it.
- Absolutely.
317
00:14:18,375 --> 00:14:21,000
- Yeah. Yup.
- I say keep digging, Bill.
318
00:14:38,208 --> 00:14:40,000
I just don't understand.
319
00:14:40,167 --> 00:14:42,542
Tom said, "You'll
see the stones."
320
00:14:42,708 --> 00:14:45,000
The problem is there's no rock.
321
00:14:45,083 --> 00:14:47,083
- Yeah.
- There's just... there's no rock.
322
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:50,083
- There doesn't seem to be a well.
- No.
323
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:52,667
To me, this
looks like backfill stuff.
324
00:14:52,750 --> 00:14:55,667
There's not a stone to be found.
325
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:57,042
No.
326
00:14:57,208 --> 00:14:59,583
- Nothing on this side at all.
- Okay.
327
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:03,750
We're done.
328
00:15:03,875 --> 00:15:05,333
So, I think what we'll do is
329
00:15:05,417 --> 00:15:07,417
bring Tom in and
see what he says.
330
00:15:07,542 --> 00:15:10,167
- Mm-hmm.
- If there's a well, I think, unfortunately,
331
00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:12,250
it might be... It
could be deeper.
332
00:15:12,375 --> 00:15:14,000
But we're-we're below
Tom's two feet now.
333
00:15:14,167 --> 00:15:17,500
All the more reason
to stand down
334
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:18,958
and see if Tom has some answers.
335
00:15:19,042 --> 00:15:20,559
We have to get more
information from Tom.
336
00:15:20,583 --> 00:15:22,333
- Yup.
- Yup.
337
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:24,393
- Back at it when Tom gets here.
- Yup. Yup.
338
00:15:24,417 --> 00:15:26,333
You got to be
patient in this place.
339
00:15:26,458 --> 00:15:27,958
Yup.
340
00:15:30,167 --> 00:15:32,333
The following morning...
341
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,250
All right, Rods, going down.
342
00:15:34,375 --> 00:15:36,476
As the team
from Dumas Contracting Limited
343
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,875
continues to reconstruct
the Garden Shaft...
344
00:15:39,042 --> 00:15:40,750
Good.
345
00:15:40,875 --> 00:15:43,083
Peter Romkey is here.
346
00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:45,375
He is an expert in
trees and forestry.
347
00:15:45,542 --> 00:15:47,500
At the research center,
348
00:15:47,583 --> 00:15:51,167
Rick and Marty Lagina, along
with other members of the team,
349
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:54,208
meet with forestry
technician Peter Romkey.
350
00:15:54,375 --> 00:15:58,833
- We went out to the wall where we excavated.
- Yes.
351
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,500
- Let's bore a tree.
- Okay.
352
00:16:01,583 --> 00:16:03,351
One week
ago, Peter took a core sample
353
00:16:03,375 --> 00:16:07,208
from an adult oak
tree that had grown up
354
00:16:07,375 --> 00:16:10,333
through the mysterious
rock wall on Lot 26.
355
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:13,500
A wall that sets
less than 50 feet
356
00:16:13,667 --> 00:16:16,083
from a 900-year-old stone well
357
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:18,083
where the team
has recently found
358
00:16:18,208 --> 00:16:20,417
high-trace evidence of silver.
359
00:16:20,542 --> 00:16:22,833
Now, Peter has returned
360
00:16:22,958 --> 00:16:24,667
to report the age
of the oak tree,
361
00:16:24,833 --> 00:16:27,542
which, if it pre-dates the
discovery of the Money Pit,
362
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:31,750
will prove that the stone
wall's construction did, as well.
363
00:16:31,875 --> 00:16:33,833
So, what did you find out?
364
00:16:33,917 --> 00:16:37,208
We can look at the numbers here.
365
00:16:38,417 --> 00:16:41,167
So, if we talk about
the second bore first,
366
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:43,292
based on the number of
rings that we could count,
367
00:16:43,417 --> 00:16:46,625
it ended up coming
out at, uh, 240 years old.
368
00:16:49,792 --> 00:16:51,708
What's your plus
and minus on that?
369
00:16:51,875 --> 00:16:54,208
My plus and minus
could be 20 or 30 years.
370
00:16:54,375 --> 00:16:57,250
So, 260 years. But
you have to remember,
371
00:16:57,375 --> 00:16:59,500
what's difficult with these
372
00:16:59,583 --> 00:17:02,333
were that once we get
in a certain distance,
373
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:05,500
the wood went rotten, in which
case, there's no rings to count.
374
00:17:05,583 --> 00:17:08,000
The missing rings could be
a lot older, a lot tighter, right?
375
00:17:08,125 --> 00:17:09,583
- A lot tighter, yeah.
- Yeah.
376
00:17:09,708 --> 00:17:11,625
Because the oak tree dates back
377
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:14,250
240 years or more,
378
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:18,875
could that possibly mean that
the stone wall might be related
379
00:17:19,042 --> 00:17:22,500
to the nearby
900-year-old stone well?
380
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:26,833
If so, what other clues
or potential valuables
381
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:29,250
does the wall contain that
could help the team determine
382
00:17:29,375 --> 00:17:32,542
just who built them and why?
383
00:17:32,667 --> 00:17:35,833
So, it could be much older.
384
00:17:35,917 --> 00:17:37,500
- Right. -Yeah.
- Right.
385
00:17:37,625 --> 00:17:40,708
You'd have to add quite a
number of years, in my opinion.
386
00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:43,167
So, the question is, what
were they using the wall for?
387
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:45,625
If the wall was constructed
388
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:48,542
for a specific purpose,
other than a boundary,
389
00:17:48,708 --> 00:17:51,042
which it just to me does
not appear to be a boundary.
390
00:17:51,208 --> 00:17:54,000
It was used for some
reason, in some capacity.
391
00:17:54,125 --> 00:17:55,750
Absolutely.
392
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:58,583
It's now at this
point, you have to look at it
393
00:17:58,708 --> 00:18:01,833
as an island-wide story,
not just a Money Pit story.
394
00:18:01,958 --> 00:18:03,667
Something happened
here long ago,
395
00:18:03,792 --> 00:18:05,500
and I continue to be intrigued.
396
00:18:05,667 --> 00:18:07,250
It is pretty cool
397
00:18:07,375 --> 00:18:09,167
and interesting to
look at those and think
398
00:18:09,333 --> 00:18:12,625
that that tree, at least,
was growing in that wall
399
00:18:12,708 --> 00:18:14,268
when the Money Pit
was first discovered.
400
00:18:14,333 --> 00:18:16,833
Anyway, great data,
Peter. Thank you.
401
00:18:16,958 --> 00:18:18,018
- Thank you, Peter.
- Appreciate it.
402
00:18:18,042 --> 00:18:19,833
No problem.
403
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:22,667
It's just
odd. No artifacts.
404
00:18:22,792 --> 00:18:23,917
Yeah. Nothing.
405
00:18:24,042 --> 00:18:25,708
We have to find artifacts.
406
00:18:25,833 --> 00:18:28,167
Okay, get on that.
407
00:18:28,333 --> 00:18:30,292
Later that afternoon,
408
00:18:30,417 --> 00:18:33,250
following Peter Romkey's
report, Alex Lagina,
409
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:37,125
along with archaeologists
Laird Niven and Miriam Amirault
410
00:18:37,208 --> 00:18:39,917
return to Lot 26
411
00:18:40,042 --> 00:18:42,583
to continue investigating
the stone wall.
412
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,125
I think we'll
get a good profile.
413
00:18:48,208 --> 00:18:49,667
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
414
00:18:49,792 --> 00:18:50,832
It's looking good.
415
00:18:55,875 --> 00:18:58,018
I think we're getting
down to these bottom stones.
416
00:18:58,042 --> 00:18:59,583
Mm-hmm.
417
00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:02,625
So I guess just, like,
the question is, is this
418
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:06,125
the bottom, or is this on
top of something else?
419
00:19:06,208 --> 00:19:07,792
Mm-hmm.
420
00:19:07,875 --> 00:19:09,333
That's a good question.
421
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:12,333
I don't remember us
encountering these base rocks.
422
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,417
Yeah. Those rocks are different.
423
00:19:14,542 --> 00:19:16,101
- Yeah.
- These are bigger.
424
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:17,500
Yeah.
425
00:19:23,583 --> 00:19:25,292
Nice.
426
00:19:25,417 --> 00:19:29,250
- Wow. See that?
- Oh, yeah.
427
00:19:29,375 --> 00:19:32,333
- This is exactly what Craig wants us to find.
- All right!
428
00:19:32,458 --> 00:19:33,818
That's certainly intriguing.
429
00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:34,995
- Yeah.
- Cool.
430
00:19:38,875 --> 00:19:40,268
- That's charcoal.
- That's a cool find.
431
00:19:40,292 --> 00:19:42,042
That's pretty interesting.
432
00:19:42,167 --> 00:19:45,333
- We got a nice, uh, burnt twig basically.
- Nice.
433
00:19:45,458 --> 00:19:47,083
While investigating
434
00:19:47,208 --> 00:19:49,833
the mysterious
stone wall on Lot 26...
435
00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:52,833
- This is exactly what Craig wants us to find.
- Right.
436
00:19:52,917 --> 00:19:55,583
Archaeologist
Laird Niven has just discovered
437
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:57,667
an important clue.
438
00:19:57,792 --> 00:19:59,851
You think we can get, you
know, a good date off of that?
439
00:19:59,875 --> 00:20:02,075
Well, I mean, if you can
get a date off of that, you can
440
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:04,292
- sort of try and date this wall.
- Right.
441
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:07,542
At least say, like, it was
not here before this time.
442
00:20:07,708 --> 00:20:09,792
- Right.
- Finding at the bottom here.
443
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:12,583
- Yeah.
- So, this is the bottom of the wall.
444
00:20:12,708 --> 00:20:14,667
Yup.
445
00:20:14,833 --> 00:20:16,583
The great
thing about charcoal is,
446
00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:18,018
it's not a root that
grew under the wall.
447
00:20:18,042 --> 00:20:20,250
With charcoal,
448
00:20:20,375 --> 00:20:22,735
the only way for a piece of
charcoal to be under the wall is
449
00:20:22,792 --> 00:20:24,833
if it was burned before
the wall was built.
450
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Hey.
451
00:20:27,083 --> 00:20:29,250
- How's it going? -Good.
- Hey, guys.
452
00:20:29,375 --> 00:20:32,333
- Hi.
- I see they brought in the heavy hitter.
453
00:20:32,458 --> 00:20:34,792
- Yeah.
- So, have you figured it out?
454
00:20:34,917 --> 00:20:37,333
In this area,
they had more of a...
455
00:20:37,458 --> 00:20:41,667
they're more... well,
almost a series of flat rocks.
456
00:20:41,792 --> 00:20:44,375
But the good thing is,
457
00:20:44,542 --> 00:20:47,083
under the layer
of rocks in here,
458
00:20:47,208 --> 00:20:49,708
we got a really nice
charcoal sample.
459
00:20:49,875 --> 00:20:51,917
Oh, great.
460
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:53,333
Like a little twig.
461
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:56,292
- Yeah.
- Oh, okay. And you think
462
00:20:56,417 --> 00:20:58,476
that context, the... perhaps
the beginning of this wall.
463
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:00,018
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, yeah. There's no doubt.
464
00:21:00,042 --> 00:21:01,333
Yeah.
465
00:21:01,458 --> 00:21:04,125
- I like that verbiage, no doubt.
- Yes. Finally.
466
00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:06,167
- But no other artifacts?
- Nothing.
467
00:21:06,292 --> 00:21:07,833
- But a good sample.
- Yet.
468
00:21:07,958 --> 00:21:09,083
- Yet.
- Yet.
469
00:21:09,208 --> 00:21:11,333
What's your take on this?
470
00:21:11,458 --> 00:21:15,750
I still find that it's
too strongly built.
471
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:18,292
It was trying to support
something higher.
472
00:21:18,375 --> 00:21:21,875
I mean, to me, it's very
baffling what they used it for.
473
00:21:22,042 --> 00:21:24,625
And I'm curious what the
date is on that... that charcoal.
474
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:26,851
- Like, I think that will tell us a lot.
- Yes, absolutely.
475
00:21:26,875 --> 00:21:32,125
I guess my-my brain is going
to, "I hope it affirms my belief."
476
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:34,625
Because my belief
means this went...
477
00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:37,375
this is part of the
original mystery.
478
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:39,060
- Yeah.
- I think we should
479
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:40,375
send it off ASAP.
480
00:21:40,542 --> 00:21:43,000
But what is the
status here now then?
481
00:21:43,167 --> 00:21:44,458
What do you want to do?
482
00:21:44,542 --> 00:21:46,184
I think we have
a little bit more to do.
483
00:21:46,208 --> 00:21:48,333
- We're on the sea horizon here, now.
- Mm-hmm.
484
00:21:48,458 --> 00:21:51,083
We just need to
follow that down.
485
00:21:51,208 --> 00:21:53,167
We'll look for more
artifacts, obviously.
486
00:21:53,333 --> 00:21:54,833
- More would be better.
- Sure. -Yeah.
487
00:21:54,958 --> 00:21:56,518
And find a coin under the
next rock that you turn over.
488
00:21:56,542 --> 00:21:58,342
- Okay. I will.
- Make it a lot easier.
489
00:21:58,458 --> 00:22:00,458
- -Okay.
- All righty.
490
00:22:00,542 --> 00:22:02,476
- We'll let you finish up.
- Okay.
491
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,750
- We'll keep looking.
- Okay.
492
00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:06,518
- See you later.
- See you guys. Good luck.
493
00:22:06,542 --> 00:22:08,333
Later that afternoon...
494
00:22:08,458 --> 00:22:10,042
Bill, you ready?
495
00:22:10,208 --> 00:22:11,648
- I'm ready.
- Okeydoke.
496
00:22:13,375 --> 00:22:15,333
Rick and Alex Lagina,
497
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:19,583
along with Billy Gerhardt,
Gary Drayton and Tom Nolan
498
00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:22,333
begin a second
excavation on Lot 11,
499
00:22:22,417 --> 00:22:25,167
just north of the swamp.
500
00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:26,792
Excellent.
501
00:22:26,917 --> 00:22:28,833
Now with Tom's guidance,
502
00:22:28,958 --> 00:22:31,375
they hope to pinpoint
the exact location
503
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:33,208
of a mysterious stone well
504
00:22:33,333 --> 00:22:35,792
that Tom's father, Fred Nolan,
505
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:38,750
first discovered more
than four decades ago.
506
00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:41,625
There's nothing
there, that's for sure.
507
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:43,500
You want to go
deeper here, or...?
508
00:22:43,667 --> 00:22:45,726
Yeah, we're just gonna have
to keep scraping to find it.
509
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:47,226
Yeah, that's what I think,
and if we take a little more
510
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:48,570
- on the other side...
- Yup.
511
00:22:48,708 --> 00:22:50,348
That will maybe help
us narrow it down.
512
00:22:50,458 --> 00:22:53,500
Okay, let's go.
513
00:22:53,667 --> 00:22:56,542
Having
uncovered the steel casings
514
00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:59,042
that Fred Nolan left
behind when he conducted
515
00:22:59,167 --> 00:23:03,333
a drilling operation in the
well a number of years ago,
516
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,292
the team is now confident
517
00:23:05,375 --> 00:23:07,917
that they will soon
locate the stone feature,
518
00:23:08,042 --> 00:23:09,792
and hopefully, determine
519
00:23:09,875 --> 00:23:13,708
just how it may help them
solve the Oak Island mystery.
520
00:23:15,875 --> 00:23:19,083
Ooh. I see a nice bit of
pottery there, peeking out.
521
00:23:19,208 --> 00:23:21,292
Look at that.
522
00:23:21,417 --> 00:23:23,333
- Ooh.
- Oh, yeah.
523
00:23:23,458 --> 00:23:24,833
That's nice.
524
00:23:24,958 --> 00:23:28,333
- That blue-glazed pottery.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
525
00:23:28,417 --> 00:23:30,000
That is really nice.
It's got to be old.
526
00:23:30,167 --> 00:23:31,667
It's thick, as well.
527
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:33,542
- Show it to the guys.
- Show it to the guys.
528
00:23:33,708 --> 00:23:35,792
- Okay.
- What'd you find?
529
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:39,208
A piece of pottery
out of the last bucket load.
530
00:23:39,333 --> 00:23:40,768
You remember seeing
anything like that, Tom?
531
00:23:40,792 --> 00:23:43,417
Ah. That looks
very familiar, Gary.
532
00:23:43,542 --> 00:23:45,502
That is the type of thing
that we were hauling out
533
00:23:45,625 --> 00:23:47,667
of the bottom of the well.
534
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,125
- A plate, it looks like.
- Mm.
535
00:23:52,458 --> 00:23:54,500
Everything was about that size.
536
00:23:54,625 --> 00:23:56,667
That's definitely the pottery.
537
00:23:56,792 --> 00:23:58,184
The hope, of
course, is to find artifacts.
538
00:23:58,208 --> 00:24:00,208
How old it is
539
00:24:00,333 --> 00:24:01,333
remains to be seen.
540
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,458
Okay, Bill.
541
00:24:03,583 --> 00:24:06,625
And that's why the
archaeologists are involved,
542
00:24:06,708 --> 00:24:08,667
so I am hopeful
that we will continue
543
00:24:08,792 --> 00:24:11,417
to find these artifacts,
and they will tell a story.
544
00:24:12,458 --> 00:24:15,250
- Is there a stone there?
- This is a stone.
545
00:24:15,375 --> 00:24:17,792
Yeah, but is there
more stone over there?
546
00:24:17,875 --> 00:24:19,958
I think you're getting into it.
547
00:24:32,542 --> 00:24:34,250
Not a stone to be found.
548
00:24:34,375 --> 00:24:37,042
Keep digging. It's here.
549
00:24:43,167 --> 00:24:45,292
I don't know, Gary. Why
don't you come down
550
00:24:45,375 --> 00:24:47,167
- and see what you can do?
- Yeah, of course.
551
00:24:49,542 --> 00:24:52,125
Come on, artifacts.
552
00:24:55,542 --> 00:24:57,708
Seems to be in that area there.
553
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,458
Ooh.
554
00:25:09,042 --> 00:25:12,917
- See if it's out.
- Yup. See if it's in.
555
00:25:14,042 --> 00:25:16,667
Yup. It's probably out.
556
00:25:18,375 --> 00:25:20,375
Here we go. What
have we got here?
557
00:25:20,542 --> 00:25:22,875
Fantastic!
558
00:25:26,625 --> 00:25:28,025
- Mm. Oh.
- What's that?
559
00:25:28,083 --> 00:25:29,625
It's made of iron.
560
00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:31,417
It's got a heck
of a curve on it.
561
00:25:31,542 --> 00:25:32,768
Near the northern border
562
00:25:32,792 --> 00:25:34,375
of the Oak Island swamp...
563
00:25:34,542 --> 00:25:36,583
Almost kind of
like, digging tool-ish.
564
00:25:36,708 --> 00:25:38,708
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
565
00:25:38,833 --> 00:25:40,851
While continuing
their efforts to uncover
566
00:25:40,875 --> 00:25:44,875
a mysterious buried well,
members of the Oak Island team
567
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,667
have made another
curious discovery.
568
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:49,167
Could that be part of a pick?
569
00:25:49,292 --> 00:25:50,500
- Yeah.
- Could be.
570
00:25:50,625 --> 00:25:51,500
That's what it reminds me of.
571
00:25:51,625 --> 00:25:53,500
Something you'd use to dig.
572
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:55,643
- Yeah.
- Well, I think we have one right up here.
573
00:25:55,667 --> 00:25:57,917
- Yeah.
- Right here.
574
00:26:00,542 --> 00:26:03,292
- Yup.
- See the way it fans out.
575
00:26:03,375 --> 00:26:05,476
Well, if you're gonna
dig a well, you need a pick.
576
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:07,140
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. That's cool.
577
00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:08,684
You never know. It
might be original people
578
00:26:08,708 --> 00:26:10,208
who built the well.
579
00:26:10,333 --> 00:26:12,083
I never anticipated
580
00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:15,875
finding the kinds of artifacts
that have been recovered.
581
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,167
We came here
582
00:26:17,250 --> 00:26:18,458
simply for one purpose.
583
00:26:18,542 --> 00:26:20,250
Excavate the well
584
00:26:20,375 --> 00:26:23,750
and get a really good
view of the construct.
585
00:26:23,875 --> 00:26:25,375
Where are we at then?
586
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,250
Is there stone there?
587
00:26:27,375 --> 00:26:28,434
I think you're getting into it.
588
00:26:28,458 --> 00:26:29,833
If you can get down in there,
589
00:26:29,958 --> 00:26:31,518
we'll dig a little bit
and see what you think.
590
00:26:31,542 --> 00:26:34,000
I'm interested and excited
591
00:26:34,167 --> 00:26:36,833
to put eyes and
boots on the target.
592
00:26:36,958 --> 00:26:38,833
Who knows what we'll find.
593
00:26:40,042 --> 00:26:43,833
It's like being a little
kid, playing in the mud.
594
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,250
But just,
595
00:26:46,375 --> 00:26:49,208
everywhere I hit this
shovel, all I hit's rock.
596
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:54,750
There's certainly enough
water being generated, right?
597
00:26:54,875 --> 00:26:58,167
- Well, you'd make a well here, no problem.
- Mm-hmm.
598
00:26:58,333 --> 00:27:01,333
I need to probe it.
599
00:27:01,458 --> 00:27:03,625
Rock around there.
600
00:27:03,708 --> 00:27:05,333
I think the diameter is...
601
00:27:05,417 --> 00:27:07,208
I think it's like this.
602
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:10,833
It goes around, around, around
603
00:27:10,958 --> 00:27:15,792
to that side, and then, it
comes around here like this,
604
00:27:15,875 --> 00:27:18,875
and comes back to there.
605
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,583
And that's about the size
I remember it as being.
606
00:27:23,042 --> 00:27:25,042
Look at the
amount of water coming in.
607
00:27:25,167 --> 00:27:29,250
I don't think you're gonna
expose it, like I'd like to.
608
00:27:29,375 --> 00:27:32,083
Really, what this would
demand is a hydro-vac truck.
609
00:27:32,208 --> 00:27:35,083
I think you're right...
A hydro-vac truck.
610
00:27:35,208 --> 00:27:39,000
The next thing to do
with the well is to hydro-vac it,
611
00:27:39,083 --> 00:27:41,500
and you literally
vacuum up the material.
612
00:27:41,667 --> 00:27:43,500
And that will clean up the area.
613
00:27:43,667 --> 00:27:45,833
So, tomorrow,
we'll be back at it,
614
00:27:45,958 --> 00:27:47,708
and then, continue
the excavation.
615
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:50,667
That's all we can do.
So, you know what?
616
00:27:50,792 --> 00:27:52,917
- It's a good day.
- It's a good day.
617
00:27:53,042 --> 00:27:55,958
- Now let's get out in one piece.
- Yes.
618
00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:58,167
Let's get out of this hole.
619
00:28:02,583 --> 00:28:04,375
The following morning...
620
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:06,000
Now the fun.
621
00:28:06,125 --> 00:28:07,708
As representatives
622
00:28:07,875 --> 00:28:09,583
from Clean Earth
Industrial Services
623
00:28:09,708 --> 00:28:12,417
arrive with a hydro-vac truck...
624
00:28:12,542 --> 00:28:14,250
I'll vac up some
of this water first.
625
00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:16,833
And begin clearing water and mud
626
00:28:16,958 --> 00:28:19,667
away from the buried
stone well on Lot 11...
627
00:28:19,792 --> 00:28:22,042
Carmen, mate,
628
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:23,833
- thanks for coming out.
- No problem.
629
00:28:23,917 --> 00:28:26,000
Gary Drayton and Billy Gerhardt
630
00:28:26,083 --> 00:28:28,625
meet with blacksmithing
expert Carmen Legge
631
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:32,667
at the research center to get
his analysis of the iron hook
632
00:28:32,750 --> 00:28:36,292
that was recovered from
the area two days ago.
633
00:28:36,375 --> 00:28:39,292
We were excavating, uh,
634
00:28:39,375 --> 00:28:43,042
this area where there's an old
well at the side of the swamp.
635
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:47,250
This is one of the artifacts
we found. It's a hook.
636
00:28:47,375 --> 00:28:51,125
But it's, like, unusual, the
way it's long and closed in.
637
00:28:51,208 --> 00:28:55,208
And, hopefully, you can
shed some like on that, mate.
638
00:28:56,375 --> 00:28:58,351
It kind of reminded
me of a block and tackle.
639
00:28:58,375 --> 00:29:00,018
- You know, it's a long...
- Yes. Yes, that's right.
640
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:03,375
You can see how it has
a fairly long shank here.
641
00:29:03,542 --> 00:29:05,268
You're right, Billy... this
is from a block and tackle.
642
00:29:05,292 --> 00:29:08,208
The reason why they
had a long shank is 'cause
643
00:29:08,333 --> 00:29:11,083
- it would hang naturally down from a block and tackle.
- Yeah.
644
00:29:11,208 --> 00:29:13,167
Originally invented
645
00:29:13,292 --> 00:29:17,583
by the Greek scientist
Archimedes in 250 B.C.,
646
00:29:17,708 --> 00:29:20,375
a block and tackle
is a pulley device
647
00:29:20,542 --> 00:29:24,583
used to manually raise and
lower large, heavy objects.
648
00:29:24,708 --> 00:29:29,000
This was made in such a
way that it would come off easy
649
00:29:29,125 --> 00:29:31,917
and go on easy so it was a
fast operation happening here.
650
00:29:32,042 --> 00:29:35,667
- Lowering and raising something.
- Well, it is a well.
651
00:29:35,792 --> 00:29:39,000
Would it have been a hook for
lowering a bucket into the well?
652
00:29:39,125 --> 00:29:41,833
- Up and down?
- No, this was for something heavier.
653
00:29:41,958 --> 00:29:43,375
- This is much heavier.
- Oh.
654
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:45,340
No, yeah, you wouldn't
use something like this.
655
00:29:45,375 --> 00:29:48,042
And I could sort of see how
thin it is down at the bottom here,
656
00:29:48,167 --> 00:29:49,667
so that indicates
it had a lot of use.
657
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:51,000
- Yeah.
- A lot of use.
658
00:29:51,125 --> 00:29:52,500
It might have drug something
659
00:29:52,583 --> 00:29:54,226
over the ground and then
raised it and lowered it.
660
00:29:54,250 --> 00:29:56,667
Any idea on an
age of this artifact?
661
00:29:56,792 --> 00:29:58,833
Ah, it-it is very old, Gary.
662
00:29:58,917 --> 00:30:00,667
Hooks in the later time period
663
00:30:00,792 --> 00:30:02,268
were more rounder,
not elongated like that.
664
00:30:02,292 --> 00:30:04,667
- Yeah.
- So a hook like that used
665
00:30:04,750 --> 00:30:06,390
in a block and tackle,
we're talking about
666
00:30:06,458 --> 00:30:10,625
uh, 1650 to about
1690, no later than 1690.
667
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:12,333
Wow, that's brilliant.
668
00:30:12,458 --> 00:30:15,958
A hook
used for lifting heavy cargo?
669
00:30:16,042 --> 00:30:18,375
And dating to more
than a century prior
670
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:22,208
to the discovery of
the Money Pit in 1795?
671
00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:25,458
Wow. That is massive.
672
00:30:25,542 --> 00:30:27,167
That's a big boulder.
673
00:30:27,292 --> 00:30:29,375
Three years ago,
674
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:31,500
while investigating
a curious formation
675
00:30:31,583 --> 00:30:34,250
of boulders at the so-called
"Eye of the Swamp,"
676
00:30:34,375 --> 00:30:37,333
which is located
less than 100 yards
677
00:30:37,458 --> 00:30:39,833
from the site of the
reported buried well,
678
00:30:39,958 --> 00:30:43,250
the team uncovered
back-filled organic materials
679
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:46,917
that Dr. Ian Spooner
dated to 1680.
680
00:30:47,042 --> 00:30:49,482
- Yeah, that's some history in that well.
- Yep.
681
00:30:49,542 --> 00:30:52,208
Is it possible
that the well was built by
682
00:30:52,333 --> 00:30:55,167
the same people who were
digging at the Eye of the Swamp?
683
00:30:55,333 --> 00:30:58,792
And if so, could this
hook offer evidence
684
00:30:58,875 --> 00:31:00,917
that the well may have been used
685
00:31:01,042 --> 00:31:04,167
to hide cargo of great
importance, or value?
686
00:31:05,250 --> 00:31:07,101
There was some
activity that involved that well.
687
00:31:07,125 --> 00:31:10,792
And at one time, it was
used in that well area.
688
00:31:10,917 --> 00:31:12,792
That's brilliant, isn't it?
689
00:31:12,917 --> 00:31:14,583
Yeah, I
know. That's great.
690
00:31:14,708 --> 00:31:16,518
Yeah. Talking about hooked,
that's got me hooked up, mate.
691
00:31:16,542 --> 00:31:18,000
All right, mate.
692
00:31:18,083 --> 00:31:20,000
Thanks for coming out.
We really appreciate it.
693
00:31:20,083 --> 00:31:22,333
Very
good. See you later.
694
00:31:22,458 --> 00:31:24,698
- All right, mate. Cheers.
- Thanks, Carmen.
695
00:31:27,208 --> 00:31:29,208
Later that afternoon...
696
00:31:29,333 --> 00:31:30,625
Oh, it's looking pretty good.
697
00:31:30,708 --> 00:31:32,125
I think they moved quite a bit.
698
00:31:32,250 --> 00:31:33,351
While the reconstruction
699
00:31:33,375 --> 00:31:34,875
of the Garden Shaft continues
700
00:31:35,042 --> 00:31:36,417
in the Money Pit area...
701
00:31:37,833 --> 00:31:40,114
- Isn't this a nice way to dig a hole?
- Yeah.
702
00:31:40,208 --> 00:31:42,500
- Standing up here, yeah.
- Yes.
703
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:46,292
Rick and Marty
Lagina along with Tom Nolan
704
00:31:46,417 --> 00:31:49,667
and Billy Gerhardt arrive at
the northern edge of the swamp
705
00:31:49,792 --> 00:31:53,167
as the hydro-vac operation
to clear mud and water
706
00:31:53,292 --> 00:31:57,042
away from the mysterious
stone well is nearly complete.
707
00:32:01,167 --> 00:32:03,167
I think what you're
looking at there
708
00:32:03,292 --> 00:32:05,125
is definitely part of the well,
709
00:32:05,250 --> 00:32:07,292
that's the way it
was constructed.
710
00:32:07,375 --> 00:32:09,000
You had big rocks
711
00:32:09,125 --> 00:32:10,643
and then your little
ones putting it together.
712
00:32:10,667 --> 00:32:14,250
Almost every rock down
there has a flat face.
713
00:32:14,375 --> 00:32:16,625
Yeah, I do see that.
714
00:32:16,708 --> 00:32:19,458
It seems like it's right there.
715
00:32:22,708 --> 00:32:25,083
You can see by the
amount of rock right here,
716
00:32:25,208 --> 00:32:27,458
it's not natural.
717
00:32:30,333 --> 00:32:32,542
But what that does look like,
718
00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:35,875
it doesn't look like
the other wells here.
719
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,333
The small stones.
Irregular shape.
720
00:32:41,458 --> 00:32:43,625
Can you see it, right here?
721
00:32:46,583 --> 00:32:49,625
It almost looks
like it was stacked.
722
00:32:56,708 --> 00:33:01,083
I'm confident that that
well is like the Lot 26 well.
723
00:33:01,208 --> 00:33:04,292
And those are the only
two on the island like that.
724
00:33:04,375 --> 00:33:06,875
Yeah. You can certainly
see the stacked stones.
725
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,542
- There.
- Yeah.
726
00:33:08,667 --> 00:33:11,250
On Lot
11, at the northern border
727
00:33:11,375 --> 00:33:13,958
of the triangle-shaped swamp,
728
00:33:14,042 --> 00:33:15,625
Rick Lagina and
members of the team
729
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:19,208
have just made a
potentially historic discovery.
730
00:33:19,375 --> 00:33:22,125
- That's the side of it, right there.
- Yeah.
731
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:24,208
They have uncovered a stone well
732
00:33:24,375 --> 00:33:27,833
that Tom Nolan's father
first discovered in the 1970s.
733
00:33:27,958 --> 00:33:30,375
However, it is Rick's belief
734
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:32,125
that it could match the design
735
00:33:32,208 --> 00:33:34,833
of the well located on Lot 26.
736
00:33:34,958 --> 00:33:37,083
A well, which has been dated
737
00:33:37,208 --> 00:33:39,500
to as early as the 11th century
738
00:33:39,667 --> 00:33:42,958
and has yielded high-trace
evidence of silver.
739
00:33:43,042 --> 00:33:45,750
There are enough remnants of it
740
00:33:45,875 --> 00:33:48,083
to indicate that the construct
741
00:33:48,208 --> 00:33:51,125
is exactly the same
as the Lot 26 well.
742
00:33:51,208 --> 00:33:54,167
It's the same smaller stones,
743
00:33:54,250 --> 00:33:57,000
no large, round
granite boulders.
744
00:33:57,083 --> 00:33:58,333
I think that's as much...
745
00:33:58,458 --> 00:34:01,000
No matter how much
we suck out of this,
746
00:34:01,125 --> 00:34:02,684
I don't know if you're
ever going to see
747
00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:03,833
a perfectly round well here.
748
00:34:03,958 --> 00:34:06,833
Okay, so what are we gonna do?
749
00:34:06,958 --> 00:34:09,398
Well, you can pull a foot off
the top here with the excavator.
750
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:13,542
- Yep.
- If you want to expose more, I'm fine with that.
751
00:34:13,708 --> 00:34:16,125
We could take a little
out of the center of it.
752
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:19,417
- Right.
- All right, let's do that.
753
00:34:19,542 --> 00:34:22,000
- So, you guys can come on out.
- Yep.
754
00:34:22,083 --> 00:34:24,667
And just stand by,
we're going to excavate.
755
00:34:24,792 --> 00:34:26,292
- Perfect.
- All right.
756
00:34:28,208 --> 00:34:30,292
The eight other wells
that we have found
757
00:34:30,417 --> 00:34:33,000
across the width and
breadth of the island
758
00:34:33,125 --> 00:34:34,958
are 100% different.
759
00:34:35,083 --> 00:34:37,000
If you were looking for a well,
760
00:34:37,083 --> 00:34:39,417
to put it here, with
the swamp right there,
761
00:34:39,542 --> 00:34:41,792
- you know you're going to get water.
- Oh, yeah.
762
00:34:41,875 --> 00:34:44,667
The two wells that are
of the same type of construct,
763
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:46,542
it can't be a coincidence.
764
00:34:46,708 --> 00:34:51,958
It has to be relevant in
some way, shape or form.
765
00:34:52,042 --> 00:34:53,667
There's your well. Right there,
766
00:34:53,833 --> 00:34:55,458
- you're on it.
- Yeah.
767
00:34:55,583 --> 00:34:57,103
I'm thinking
you're outside of it.
768
00:34:57,208 --> 00:34:58,309
- For sure.
- Yeah.
769
00:34:58,333 --> 00:35:01,125
And then you throw into that mix
770
00:35:01,208 --> 00:35:04,375
that they are on opposite
ends of the island,
771
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:06,208
one's on the north,
one's in the south.
772
00:35:06,333 --> 00:35:09,417
To me, they both are impactful
773
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:12,333
in terms of the body of
the work that was done,
774
00:35:12,417 --> 00:35:16,042
i.e., the treasure
depositional work.
775
00:35:16,208 --> 00:35:20,708
For me, I-I think, I've
seen enough to recognize
776
00:35:20,833 --> 00:35:24,667
the similarity between this
construct and the one on 26.
777
00:35:24,750 --> 00:35:28,000
There's flat stone in
there. Small stone in there.
778
00:35:28,083 --> 00:35:29,375
Irregular shaped stone.
779
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:31,083
Exactly like the Lot 26 well.
780
00:35:31,208 --> 00:35:32,667
Oh, yeah.
781
00:35:32,792 --> 00:35:34,583
Could Rick Lagina be correct
782
00:35:34,708 --> 00:35:37,208
that this well at
the northern border
783
00:35:37,333 --> 00:35:39,625
of the swamp may be related
784
00:35:39,708 --> 00:35:41,417
to the 900-year-old well
785
00:35:41,542 --> 00:35:45,208
located over a quarter
mile away on Lot 26?
786
00:35:45,333 --> 00:35:49,000
If so, could it offer
more physical evidence
787
00:35:49,167 --> 00:35:52,000
that the origins of
the Oak Island mystery
788
00:35:52,125 --> 00:35:56,000
stretch further back in history
than anyone ever knew?
789
00:35:56,125 --> 00:35:58,083
Okay. What are we gonna do here?
790
00:35:58,208 --> 00:36:00,708
I don't think you can
get down there any more.
791
00:36:00,833 --> 00:36:02,792
The problem is, you're
getting to the depth
792
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:05,417
- where you're not allowed down there without permits.
- Yep.
793
00:36:05,542 --> 00:36:07,208
Okay.
794
00:36:07,333 --> 00:36:11,208
Although the team
would like to continue excavating this area
795
00:36:11,333 --> 00:36:14,167
to see just how deep the
well extends underground,
796
00:36:14,292 --> 00:36:17,375
and also determine
just what it may contain,
797
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:20,792
because of its close
proximity to the swamp,
798
00:36:20,875 --> 00:36:24,708
additional permits will be
required for them to proceed.
799
00:36:24,875 --> 00:36:28,542
Getting permits to
dig deeper right here in this area,
800
00:36:28,667 --> 00:36:30,375
that would be the next step.
801
00:36:30,542 --> 00:36:32,792
Actually seeing things
is always the best data
802
00:36:32,917 --> 00:36:36,708
because the well on 26,
which we think is very old,
803
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:39,167
by comparison, we might say
804
00:36:39,250 --> 00:36:41,333
that this well is also
of comparable age,
805
00:36:41,458 --> 00:36:43,018
which would mean that
somebody was working
806
00:36:43,042 --> 00:36:46,042
right around the swamp
a very, very long time ago.
807
00:36:46,167 --> 00:36:49,167
At the end of the day, I think
we met the objective of it.
808
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:51,125
Yeah.
809
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:54,042
We came looking for
the well. We found it.
810
00:36:54,167 --> 00:36:57,042
And we did find some pottery,
which I thought we would.
811
00:36:57,167 --> 00:36:58,518
- We've made progress.
- Yep.
812
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:00,292
So, I mean...
813
00:37:00,417 --> 00:37:01,976
at this point, I think
that's all we can do with it.
814
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,625
- All right.
- Okay.
815
00:37:04,750 --> 00:37:07,000
This is just
our first peek into this.
816
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,875
Yep. First peek.
817
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:14,167
Following his
successful investigation on Lot 11...
818
00:37:14,292 --> 00:37:17,333
So, Laird,
what do you have for us?
819
00:37:17,458 --> 00:37:20,500
We've got some results from wood
820
00:37:20,625 --> 00:37:22,500
- from the Garden Shaft.
- Okay.
821
00:37:22,625 --> 00:37:24,500
Rick Lagina and Craig Tester
822
00:37:24,667 --> 00:37:26,583
arrive at the
Interpretive Center
823
00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:29,833
where Laird Niven and
Emma Culligan have just
824
00:37:29,958 --> 00:37:33,042
completed new scientific
tests on wood samples
825
00:37:33,208 --> 00:37:36,833
that were collected from the
Garden Shaft earlier this week.
826
00:37:36,917 --> 00:37:41,417
It's from 58 feet down
but on the crane side.
827
00:37:41,542 --> 00:37:43,125
So, the opposite side of where
828
00:37:43,208 --> 00:37:44,750
the piece with
the gold was on it.
829
00:37:44,875 --> 00:37:48,000
- Yep, yep.
- Well, that'll be good to-to see.
830
00:37:48,125 --> 00:37:51,250
- I-I mean, we need more data.
- Yeah.
831
00:37:51,375 --> 00:37:53,833
The wood sample was scanned
832
00:37:53,917 --> 00:37:57,625
with an X-ray fluorescence
spectrometer, or XRF.
833
00:37:57,708 --> 00:38:01,708
The device emits gamma
rays in order to detect elements
834
00:38:01,875 --> 00:38:05,500
or metal alloys that may be
present on the wood's surface
835
00:38:05,625 --> 00:38:09,917
resulting from sustained
contact with metal objects.
836
00:38:10,042 --> 00:38:14,500
One week ago, Emma performed
an XRF scan on a wood sample
837
00:38:14,625 --> 00:38:17,708
taken from 55 feet deep
within the Garden Shaft
838
00:38:17,875 --> 00:38:21,625
and detected high-trace
evidence of gold.
839
00:38:21,708 --> 00:38:25,500
Yeah, so, I do have some values.
840
00:38:25,583 --> 00:38:29,333
So, the... the first piece
that I brought to you guys,
841
00:38:29,417 --> 00:38:32,167
that was from the
opposite side of the crane.
842
00:38:32,250 --> 00:38:34,583
I was reading .13%.
843
00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:37,500
So when I scanned
the crane side,
844
00:38:37,625 --> 00:38:41,417
the counts of gold are getting
higher as you go deeper.
845
00:38:42,208 --> 00:38:44,792
That is incredible.
846
00:38:48,542 --> 00:38:49,893
It's increasing, in quantities.
847
00:38:49,917 --> 00:38:52,208
There's definitely a
fluctuating amount,
848
00:38:52,333 --> 00:38:53,768
or quantities, which
is what we want to see.
849
00:38:53,792 --> 00:38:55,583
- Yeah. That's good.
- Yeah.
850
00:38:55,708 --> 00:38:57,750
In the Oak
Island Interpretive Center,
851
00:38:57,875 --> 00:39:00,500
archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan
852
00:39:00,625 --> 00:39:03,167
has just confirmed that
a new wood sample,
853
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:06,125
taken from a depth of 58
feet in the Garden Shaft,
854
00:39:06,250 --> 00:39:09,708
has yielded high-trace
evidence of gold.
855
00:39:09,833 --> 00:39:12,542
How did these
values compare again
856
00:39:12,708 --> 00:39:16,583
with the values from
the 55-foot depth?
857
00:39:16,708 --> 00:39:18,000
It's more.
858
00:39:19,542 --> 00:39:21,833
- Great.
- Oh, it's exciting.
859
00:39:21,958 --> 00:39:24,542
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
860
00:39:24,667 --> 00:39:26,393
Here in front of
us, this piece of wood
861
00:39:26,417 --> 00:39:29,333
is exhibiting gold values
substantially higher
862
00:39:29,458 --> 00:39:32,083
as we go to a deeper depth.
863
00:39:32,208 --> 00:39:33,833
On the wood of a shaft
864
00:39:33,958 --> 00:39:37,125
in the location that we have
high hopes and interest in.
865
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:38,500
It's fantastic.
866
00:39:38,625 --> 00:39:41,167
This is highly
informative, you know,
867
00:39:41,250 --> 00:39:43,833
and we'll see at different
elevations what it turns into.
868
00:39:43,958 --> 00:39:46,625
We'll start comparing
it to wells we've drilled
869
00:39:46,708 --> 00:39:48,542
and see, you know,
where in the entire
870
00:39:48,667 --> 00:39:51,208
- Money Pit area, how the gold varies.
- Mm-hmm. Yep.
871
00:39:51,333 --> 00:39:54,250
Hopefully, it's rich in
the Garden Shaft area
872
00:39:54,375 --> 00:39:56,125
and-and minor in-in other areas.
873
00:39:56,250 --> 00:39:57,833
- So we know where to focus.
- Mm-hmm.
874
00:39:57,917 --> 00:40:01,083
Yeah, so, Emma and
I will work on a routine,
875
00:40:01,208 --> 00:40:03,292
- so we can have consistent results.
- Mm-hmm.
876
00:40:03,375 --> 00:40:04,695
So we can have
more rapid results.
877
00:40:04,792 --> 00:40:06,875
- That would be great.
- Yeah.
878
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,333
The gold is the
most encouraging thing, I think,
879
00:40:09,458 --> 00:40:10,833
that has happened out here.
880
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,208
You know, scientists
trained in this methodology
881
00:40:13,333 --> 00:40:15,083
tell me it's highly unusual.
882
00:40:15,208 --> 00:40:17,667
Well, that implies that
there's a highly unusual
883
00:40:17,792 --> 00:40:19,833
source of gold here still.
884
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,125
That's exciting.
885
00:40:21,208 --> 00:40:22,958
So, I think, I
think this is, uh,
886
00:40:23,042 --> 00:40:24,500
perhaps an indication that
887
00:40:24,583 --> 00:40:26,125
we're following
the trail of the gold.
888
00:40:26,208 --> 00:40:28,375
- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, that-that's good news.
889
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:30,000
Right? But we need
to do more work.
890
00:40:30,125 --> 00:40:33,375
Yep. We've got lots to do.
891
00:40:33,542 --> 00:40:34,667
Yeah.
892
00:40:34,833 --> 00:40:37,042
- Okay.
- Let's get going.
893
00:40:38,708 --> 00:40:42,500
As another week
comes to an end on Oak Island,
894
00:40:42,625 --> 00:40:46,333
the hope for Rick, Marty,
Craig and their team
895
00:40:46,458 --> 00:40:48,167
that they are closer than ever
896
00:40:48,292 --> 00:40:51,083
to solving a
228-year-old mystery
897
00:40:51,208 --> 00:40:53,625
has only grown stronger.
898
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:56,750
While they proceed
to scour the island
899
00:40:56,875 --> 00:40:59,667
for more critical clues
that may soon reveal
900
00:40:59,792 --> 00:41:02,667
the true story of what
happened here long ago,
901
00:41:02,792 --> 00:41:06,500
are they now also
zeroing in on a treasure
902
00:41:06,583 --> 00:41:08,958
that will rewrite the
history of the world?
903
00:41:09,042 --> 00:41:11,750
One thing is for sure.
904
00:41:11,875 --> 00:41:16,750
They will dig however
deep it takes to find out.
905
00:41:18,833 --> 00:41:21,833
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
906
00:41:21,958 --> 00:41:24,833
The gold concentration is
getting higher as we go down.
907
00:41:24,917 --> 00:41:26,917
- Oh, wow!
- X marks the spot.
908
00:41:27,042 --> 00:41:29,667
We're going to
dig the great quadrilateral.
909
00:41:29,833 --> 00:41:31,917
This clay should not be here.
910
00:41:32,042 --> 00:41:33,958
There's something at
the bottom of that clay.
911
00:41:34,042 --> 00:41:36,522
- That's a big something.
- Oh, wow! What is that?
912
00:41:36,583 --> 00:41:38,000
- That is sweet.
- Whoa.
913
00:41:38,167 --> 00:41:40,000
This is Portuguese.
914
00:41:40,125 --> 00:41:43,500
It's 1474 to 1638.
915
00:41:43,625 --> 00:41:45,292
- Wow. It's incredible.
- No way.
