NARRATOR: Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...

We have a large metallic anomaly
in the swamp.

MARTY:
Wow! That's great.

I believe there are
answers in that swamp.

JACK:
Yes! We're starting to dig.

The more we dig,
the more we find.

Oh, my gosh!

What the heck is that?

PAUL: Something's going on
in that corner.

They hit something solid.

They couldn't drill through it.

That's where
the gold signal's coming from.

There could be something there.

NARRATOR: There is an island
in the North Atlantic

where people
have been looking for

an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.

So far,
they have found a stone slab

with strange symbols
carved into it,

manmade workings

that date to medieval times

and a lead cross whose origin

may be connected
to the Knights Templar.

To date, six men have died

trying to solve the mystery.

And according to legend,

one more will have to die

before the treasure
can be found.

Hey, Paul.

Hey, how's it going?

Question is, how are you doing?

All right.

-Mind if we go and have a look?
-Yeah.

NARRATOR: Another promising day
has begun on Oak Island

for brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina,

their partner Craig Tester
and the rest of their team

as they investigate

the so-called Garden Shaft
in the hopes

of finally solving
a 228-year-old treasure mystery.

COTE: They're probe drilling
straight down in the shaft.

CRAIG:
How deep are we?

We're around 65 to 66 feet.

-In between there.
-Okay.

NARRATOR: Of all
the large-scale excavations

the Oak Island team
has performed

during the past decade,

they have a number
of reasons to believe

that the Garden Shaft,
which is now being reconstructed

by representatives
from Dumas Contracting Limited,

may be the key to locating
a legendary treasure vault.

After scientifically dating
the shaft to 1735--

meaning that it could be related
to the original Money Pit--

the team conducted
additional tests

on water samples within it,

as well as on wood fragments

collected from the walls
of the structure

at depths of 55 and 58 feet.

Incredibly,
both exercises yielded

high trace evidence of gold.

Really appreciate you grabbing
these samples of the wood

as you're boring through there,
cutting a hole.

'Cause, uh, you know, the gold
we found up hole a little bit,

it's got us excited
to see what's down here.

And if we can use that wood
and trace the gold,

hopefully it can tell us
where it's coming from.

-Exactly.
-Yeah.

NARRATOR:
Now, given that the location

of the Garden Shaft
is within 20 feet

of the so-called
"treasure zone,"

where geoscientist
Dr. Ian Spooner

and his colleague
hydrogeologist Dr. Fred Michael

believe the Money Pit
treasure vault

may be buried
between 80 and 120 feet deep...

There's another augur
on there now.

...Dumas is conducting
a probe drilling operation

within the structure

at a depth
of approximately 65 feet,

in the hopes
of finding more evidence

of the fabled riches.

Using a hydraulic earth drill,

the team
is drilling three holes

through all four walls
of the original shaft

which will reach
as far as 20 feet

in every direction.

RICK:
It's all about, at this point,

the probe drilling

and trying
to use the information

derived from that program
to further our understanding

of the relevance
of the Garden Shaft

in terms of treasure recovery.

CRAIG: That seemed to be
drilling awful easy.

Yeah.

RICK: It's exciting to think
about the possibilities,

because, uh, now
we have found gold values,

meaning that...

we might be close
to a source location

for gold here.

CRAIG:
Where are they at?

-COTE: In, uh, northeast corner.
-Okay.

COTE: Something's going on
in that corner.

Yeah. Still,
it's looking like it's

-a softer corner, which...
-Yeah.

...which all indications
were from what we've seen.

We've been probe drilling
in the northeast corner,

and the ground seems quite soft.

It's very interesting.

It's telling us something.

Are we gonna find tunnels? Are
we gonna to find unknown shafts?

And we're real excited about it.

SCOTT: You know,
if there's a tunnel there

or anything like that, it's
gonna be really interesting.

We just got the information

and we'll start
following the information.

That's right.
Let the science do the work.

-Yeah.
-Yep.
-Yeah.

CRAIG:
Okay, well, it's moving along.

-Okay.
-Thank you very much.

We'll keep at it.

CRAIG: Let me know if you
hit anything, for sure.

COTE:
Okay, will do.

NARRATOR:
Later that afternoon...

MARTY: All right.
What we got going here today?

I want to pull this corner back,

because when we first dug,

I thought there were
a couple three stones there.

NARRATOR: On Lot 13,

over 400 feet north

of the triangle-shaped swamp...

I agree, it's possible

we could follow
that out a little further.

...Craig Tester joins
Rick and Marty Lagina,

along with fellow landowner
Tom Nolan,

and other members of the team
to resume

investigating a mysterious site

known as
the great quadrilateral.

First discovered
more than 30 years ago

by Tom's late father,
Fred Nolan,

the feature is a 32-foot-long
formation of boulders,

which Fred believed
might have been created

centuries ago.

Based on a diagram
that he designed

back in the 1990s,

the team is currently excavating

the northeast portion
of the quadrilateral

in the hopes of determining

who created it
and just what they used it for.

MARTY:
And all this clay is
out of place, is that correct?

It shouldn't be there?

Yeah, bottom line is,
you found artifacts.

That tells us
that somebody's dug that clay.

And we found that staple.

Yeah, we did,
and that's the thing.

-If we can dig deeper...
-Mm.

...the artifacts
should be older.

The more we dig,
the more we find.

Hey, Rick?
That's a bit of clay there.

Where have you seen
that color before?

RICK:
Money Pit.

NARRATOR:
One week ago,

after uncovering an artificial
layer of blue clay,

which is a kind of water sealant

that was also found
deep in the Money Pit

back in 1804,

-Ooh! A piece of metal.
-...the team discovered

a heavy iron staple.

A staple

that blacksmithing expert
Carmen Legge

believed was part
of a pulley system

designed to move heavy objects

and may actually
date back to medieval times.

To me, this strongly

suggests the original work.

Now we have
to figure out the why of this.

Is there a possibility
that there's something

underground here
that may be the one thing?

I'm-I'm hopeful. I am.

But we have to prove it.

Okay. Go hop in
that machine and start finding.

-Yep.
-All right, mate.
I'll get ready as well.

NARRATOR: As Billy Gerhardt
excavates the feature,

metal detection expert
Gary Drayton

will search the spoils
for important clues

and signs of treasure.

The quadrilateral appears
to be an area

of rather substantial impact.

The boulders, they were
basically stacked in two tiers.

Doesn't look anything
like an agricultural thing.

Farmers are
extremely practical people.

They're not gonna waste effort.

And why would they dig down

eight, 12, 14 feet?

No, it's not farmers.

It's not agricultural.

So could it be
somehow associated

with the whole mystery?
Yeah.

(beeping)

That one weird,
little tick like that.

(beeping)

Yeah, we can't ignore that.

Just there.

Is that a lump of coal
on the side there?

On the side of that wall there?

A little charcoal?

(Rick blows)

GARY: That is definitely
charcoal, mate, isn't it?

RICK:
Yeah.

See the glint off of it?

Yeah, definitely part

of the quadrilateral story,
for sure.

RICK:
Yeah, good eye, Gary, because

-it was right there in the wall.
-Yep.

NARRATOR: Because charcoal
can be carbon-dated...

I'll put this in the bag, Rick.
This is cool.

...perhaps this discovery
can offer

the team another clue as to when

this feature was created.

All right, let's get back at it.

The other burning question,
where's the metal?

It seems to be

elongated. Oh.

It's there?

Still there?

Yep. It's just...

finding it.

(beeping)

I believe... got it.

That's it.

What the heck is this?

Oh, my gosh!

-Heavy?
-Yeah, it's heavy.

Uh, don't know what it is.

-It's a curved piece of iron.
-Yeah.

NARRATOR: While excavating
the mysterious formation

known as the great quadrilateral
on Lot 13...

-What you got, Gary?
-GARY: It looks like

some large piece of iron.

-Yep.
-...Billy Gerhardt

and Gary Drayton have just
unearthed a potentially

important discovery.

-Was that in the clay?
-Eh.

It's not in the clay, no.

-Show it to these guys.
-GARY: Yeah.

That just seems strange to me.

A little heavy.

A little heavy. Watch yourself.

-RICK: It's weird,
whatever it is.
-GARY: Yeah.

It's a non-descript
hunk of something.

Chunk of metal.

-That's heavy.
-TOM: Yeah.

-MARTY: That is rusty.
-TOM: Yeah.

-But that's not 30 years
of rusty.
-MARTY: No.

-It looks more than that.
-TOM: Yeah. Yeah.

This goes well back
into antiquity.

Right.

Well, that's not something

you find every day.

Nope.

Just on Oak Island.

MARTY:
Just on Oak Island.

Tell you, mate,
when that chunk of iron

come out there,
the way it's curved like that,

the size and the weight of it,

reminded me of a fragment
of a cannonball.

I've found loads of them
in the southeast United States.

I mean, we did find armament.

-We've found
musket balls, obviously.
-Yeah.

We've found Portuguese
stone shot.

-Yeah.
-If you start putting

puzzle pieces together,

then that becomes
perhaps more relevant.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: A possible
fragment of a cannonball

found
in the great quadrilateral?

And of a potentially
ancient origin?

-Ready?
-Yep.

I love it when
we find stuff like this.

That is a bona fide artifact.

NARRATOR:
Over the past three years,

the team has found two stone
cannonballs on Oak Island,

one of which was discovered
deep in the Money Pit area.

Incredibly, those objects,

just like the stone road
that was uncovered

in the triangle-shaped swamp

back in 2020

and the stone wall
located on Lot 26,

are all believed to be
500 years old or more.

And potentially connected

to the Portuguese sect
of the Knights Templar.

If it is indeed
a cannonball frag,

then that becomes, perhaps,
extremely relevant.

Yep, you got that right, mate.

NARRATOR:
Could Rick Lagina be correct

that this discovery
may offer a critical clue

in identifying who created the
so-called great quadrilateral?

I think we can say we got it,
but I'll re-check the hole

-just in case.
-Yep. Yep.

NARRATOR:
If so, the question

that grows
all the more curious is,

just what was its purpose?

GARY:
Yep, it's out.

All right.

It's all clear.

Billy, crank it up.

-(dirt grinding)
-IAN: Geez!

GARY: I'd say we're getting
into some boulders as well.

One there... one there.

BILLY: I don't know
if somebody wants to look,

but you got four rocks,
all flat,

right there-- you can see
where the tops are scratched.

-CRAIG: Yeah.
-TOM: You mean those four, four

-small ones there, Billy,
sort of...
-BILLY: Yeah, it's just...

they're just
kind of laid flatted out.

Worried about it,
or pulling them out?

-No.
Let's see what's under them.
-Keep going.

This is definitely
a disturbed area

where somebody excavated
a bunch of stuff

and then put stuff back in
that didn't belong there...

I'm coming down.

...and maybe the boulders here

in this disturbed area
might have been used

to seal something.

If treasure was

brought to Oak Island
and deposited here,

this would be
a great place for it.

GARY:
Nothing in there.

RICK:
What do you think?

IAN:
So there's nothing really here?

MARTY:
No. Nothing.

I wouldn't go
any further than that.

Yeah.

So now I think
what we need to do is

sort of sequentially move
towards the west.

I agree.

And we need artifacts.

Or something underneath this.

That's where I sit.

MARTY:
Yeah, something went on here.

Something was dug out and
something was placed back in.

And we don't know why.

I think we all agree
there's something

strangely unique about this.

Oh, yeah.

RICK: We're not done
digging at the quadrilateral

is what the next steps are.

We need to dig the structure
in its entirety.

I believe there is a chance

that there are
additional boulders,

and hopefully
find more artifacts.

And make our own assessment
of what it might mean.

My usual MO is to say...
(chuckles)

...keep digging,
so that's what I suggest we do.

IAN:
Yep. This is going to take

-a few days.
-RICK: Yeah.

But it's about
the end of the day,

so let's call it a day.

-TOM: Okay.
-MARTY: We'll be back again.

-NARRATOR: The following day...
-Going up.

...as the probe drilling
operation continues

in the Garden Shaft...

RICK: Certainly,
the Garden Shaft is the...

most important, uh,
project that we have,

but the swamp also is important.

NARRATOR:
...Rick, Marty and Craig

have gathered members
of the team in the war room,

as well as on video conference,
for an update

on another major investigation

they soon hope to begin

in order to help solve
the Oak Island mystery.

The thing that is required,
obviously, is a permit.

I just wanted to bring everybody
up to date,

as to where we are. Laird has

put in for heritage
research permits regarding

the southeast
corner of the swamp.

TONY: How's that
for a starting point, guys?

JEREMY:
Yeah, that's a good one.

NARRATOR:
Earlier this year,

the team conducted
new magnetometer scans

in the swamp with geophysical

experts Jeremy Church
and Burton Cosgrove.

JEREMY:
Whoa!

-TONY: Big one?
-Yeah.

-Through the roof.
-Fantastic!

NARRATOR: Incredibly,
they detected numerous

metallic anomalies in an area

just several yards
from the possible

Portuguese stone road
located in the brackish bog's

southeast corner.

And we've sent all information
to the First Nations, right?

Correct. We have. Yes.

NARRATOR:
However,

due to the discovery

of 2,000-year-old fragments

of First Nations Mi'kmaw pottery

that archaeologist
Laird Niven made

in the southeast corner
of the swamp

back in 2021,

the Oak Island team has been
delayed in obtaining

governmental permits
to once again draw down,

or drain, the swamp
and investigate

those potential targets.

I know things have
gotten more complicated and

-we need that draw-down
permit because...
-Yeah.

...we want to dig and Jeremy's

presentation
and there's some things that,

in my mind, should be dug.

Right.

Billy, I'm going to turn it over
to you because you've been

more intimately involved
in that process than anyone.

So if you can fill everyone in,
that'd be great.

So, the government,
they've been very good

in communicating with us.

The good news is...

from what we understand...

they gave the approvals

-for a permit.
-Perfect!

(laughter)

RICK: All the information
has been relayed

to the proper
governmental authorities

and all of the permit

application requirements
have been met.

Well done, sir.

And I believe
that we should shortly

have the permits in hand.

I think we're,
uh, we're well on our way.

Hopefully it'll be
all positive from here on in.

It's all good. We can't control
it beyond this, so proceed.

All righty.

-ALEX: See you, guys.
-See you.

-SCOTT: Thanks.
-MARTY: Drain that swamp.

NARRATOR: Two days after
the Oak Island team's

meeting in the war room...

-ALEX: Hey, Billy!
-BILLY: How you doing, guys?

JACK:
Hey, Billy.

This is one heck of a big pump.

-ALEX: Yeah, yeah.
-BILLY: Well, it's a big swamp.

NARRATOR: ...they have
officially received a permit

from the provincial government
to drain the swamp

in order to investigate a number
of potential metal targets

that were detected
earlier this year.

So we cleaned out the sump,
sump's all ready to go.

ALEX:
When we did this year one,

I don't remember what the flow
rate was on those things.

-What-what's this thing?
-Uh...

I think, I think this thing
would probably seven

-or 800 gallons a minute,
I imagine.
-ALEX: So that means,

couple three days,
we'll have this thing drained?

Yeah, it'll go pretty quick,
yeah.

Where are we running
the outflow?

This line here,
we have it strung over

on Lot 29.
Up in the middle, there's

quite a rocky section
in the woods.

As you know,
we're pretty protective

-of any runoff, so...
-ALEX: Yeah.

-Let's get pumping.
-Yeah.

NARRATOR: In accordance with
environmental regulations...

Hey, Tim!

...rather than pumping
the brackish water out

of the swamp
and into the nearby ocean,

the Oak Island team
will transfer it all

to Lot 29,
in the middle of the island.

Tim got tired of taking pumps
apart and picking sticks out,

so he designed
this little float for us.

Yeah. Ingenious idea.

The swamp definitely has a lot

of secrets
that it's still hiding.

You know, it almost looks like

someone covered a stone pathway,

and other related features.

I got to say, Tim,
I'm very impressed.

-Well done.
-JACK: It makes you wonder,

was that done by the depositors?

Or was that done
by early searchers?

Cool.

That is a hooked-up pump.

I think we're all ready.

Oh! Here goes.

All righty! See you, Bill.

-Yeah.
-Jack: See you, guys.

NARRATOR:
The following day,

while the swamp
continues to drain...

COTE:
Want tightlining now?

Want to bring
them down some nails?

...and while the probe
drilling operation proceeds

in the Garden Shaft
at the Money Pit...

RICK:
Okay, Billy.

-It's up you.
-BILLY: Okay.

...Billy Gerhardt returns

to Lot 13,

along with Rick Lagina,
Tom Nolan

and other members of the team

to continue excavating
the great quadrilateral

for additional clues,
as well as signs

of potential valuables.

What say me and you
go behind there

-and sort through the spoils?
-Yeah.

NARRATOR:
Having discovered several

potentially important artifacts

in the northeast portion
of the feature,

the team is now excavating

its southern region.

RICK:
My hope is that we can

somehow figure out
the why of it.

Fred was unable to.

Why build such a structure?

It makes no sense.

To me, it might be associated

with a... what we call
"original work," because...

I can't believe a farmer

would conduct such an activity.

GARY:
Nothing.

Keep going, Bill.

You know what's interesting

about this is,
I mean, Fred described it

as roughly paving,

and if you look
at the sketch in the book,

they're mostly big rocks,
but he actually

draws little rocks
in between them

as though the top
was meant to be paved.

In fact,
I think even in the book

he calls it a paved area.

Well, now there's paved area
in the swamp.

Paved area here.

Are they the same?

I don't know.

NARRATOR:
In 2019,

the team was astonished
to uncover a vast area

of paving stones
near the middle of the swamp.

IAN:
Well, we got the date.

And so we just got them
back yesterday.

NARRATOR:
But even more incredible

was that Dr. Ian Spooner
was able

to date the feature to as early

as 1200 AD.

-Medieval, baby!
-(laughter)

RICK:
Be nice to find

-another artifact or two.
-GARY: Yeah.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the great quadrilateral,

which Fred Nolan discovered
more than 30 years ago,

could actually date
to the same time period?

If so, could this feature

be more evidence that the origin

of the Oak Island mystery
goes further back in time

than anyone ever
thought possible?

TOM: I believe there's
one of the boulders that

formed part of the,
part of the structure.

IAN: So if it is part
of the structure,

it'd be fun to go over
and look at it and see

-what-what its relationship...
-TOM: Yeah.

...is to the sediment
underneath.

If there's soil
underneath the boulder,

then we know it's been moved,
you know?

I think we should
just come up and go over there

-and take a look at them.
-CRAIG: Yeah.

BILLY: There's three rocks
in a line at a height

of where we found
the other ones, but...

Does it kind of parallel
the other side?

-Yes. I'd say, yeah.
-So it could be
something underneath?

-Could be.
-RICK: That'd be interesting.

Yeah, so... like Tom,

you were saying,
these boulders look embedded.

Oh, they are.

They were definitely

placed in a certain type

of order here and you can
see it here, that they're

-stacked pretty tight.
-IAN: Right.

Yeah, bottom line is,
if we didn't have

rocks here and rocks there,
or rocks in line,

that's a little unnatural,
right?

But I want to see if we have any
organic matter underneath it.

Yeah, so I think

we just need to pluck this.

Okey doke.

As we get below the layer of
boulders, which my dad didn't,

it's deepening the mystery.

This site has been
manipulated for a reason.

That's the question, now,
we need to find out.

I'd like to metal detect that.
We might get an Hail Mary find

-out of there.
-That's right.

Yep.

Ooh, bit of pottery
right on the top.

Can't really tell
a lot about it, it's...

it's just a white glazed
shard of pottery.

Right in that last bucket.

RICK:
Take a look at this, Gary.

What do you got, mate?

Ooh.

Oh, wow that's old.

GARY:
It looks old.

Yeah, that is
an old piece of glass,

with it being that thin.

NARRATOR:
While searching the spoils

that have been excavated from
a depth of more than ten feet

at the mysterious
great quadrilateral...

Check that out, Tom.

That's old. Good eye, Rick.

...Rick Lagina has uncovered

a potentially significant
artifact.

That is terribly thin.

GARY: Yeah. That's how you know
it's old-- when it's thin.

That could easily be 1700s
or older.

NARRATOR:
A piece of glass

potentially dating back earlier

than the 18th century and found
more than ten feet deep

in the great quadrilateral?

That's a crackin' find, Rick.
It really is.

NARRATOR:
Could that mean
that it was left behind

by someone who previously
investigated this feature?

Or was it left by someone
who helped create it?

IAN:
I think
wherever that little piece

came from
was right at the interface

-between the soil
and the C horizon.
-GARY: Yeah.

NARRATOR:
The C horizon refers

to the natural layer of earth
below the topsoil,

which may have previously been
disturbed by human activity.

IAN:
I think,

all in here,
we're down into C horizon.

We're probably out of the, uh...
the quadrilateral now.

NARRATOR:
At this point,

it is Dr. Spooner's opinion

that they have reached
the bottom of the feature.

-We're so far back now.
-RICK: Too far?

Yeah, even at its longest point,
it was 32 feet,

going north to south, and...

we'd be well past that here,
so...

I think we're out
of the original structure.

Yeah.

It does look like
it's been disturbed.

IAN:
Yeah. Quite a bit,
right in here.

RICK:
Well, bottom line is,

we may not uncover anything
more than your father did.

I think the most important thing
we've learned

about the quadrilateral to date

is that what Fred wrote about
his observations were correct.

We have proven that there was
a stacked stone feature.

It can only

have been put there
by human beings.

To what end?

That's yet to be discovered.

IAN:
We're absolutely certain

it's been manipulated.
Somebody's dug it.

It's just who

and when they dug.

So, the quadrilateral
still does remain a mystery.

Unfortunately,
we didn't find any treasure.

But I think it had purpose.

Was it used here
as some sort of a marker?

We just don't know.

But it just validates
what my dad discovered

and the work he did here.

I-It's a great fulfillment
in life for me.

Well, we gave it a go,

like your father did, but this

-probably defines the dig.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-IAN: I agree.
-BILLY: Yep.
-RICK: Let's call it a day.

-TOM: Sounds good.
-RICK: Well done, guys.

♪ ♪

NARRATOR:
The following day...

...while representatives
from Dumas continue searching

for clues
just outside the Garden Shaft

and while the swamp
continues to drain...

RICK: So, gentlemen, today's,
uh, another data download day.

But it's about my favorite place
on Oak Island,

the swamp.

...Rick and Marty Lagina,

along with members
of the team...

So, Billy, if you can get
Marty and Jeremy up.

...are meeting via
video conference in the war room

with geoscientist Jeremy Church.

-JEREMY: Hey, guys.
-Hi, guys!

-Hey, Marty. Hey, Jeremy.
-Hey!

RICK:
So, Jeremy,

I hear you've got some analysis,

and I very much
look forward to it.

There's some interesting stuff
that's come out of it.

-Great.
-MARTY: Hey, I want
to say this right now--

I've been telling Rick
for years now

we should not quit
on that swamp.

-(chuckles)
-That's-that's-that's the way

I remember it.

That's not the way
I remember it.

-(chuckling)
-RICK: Now that we have indeed

the swamp permits,
I had asked Jeremy

to further study
the geophysical data.

And he believes he has some...

some targets, legitimate
targets, in the swamp.

Jeremy, it's over to you.

JEREMY:
All right, gentlemen.

Here's the data coverage
of the swamp area.

So, jumping in,

first slice
that we're gonna look at is

real close to the surface.

We have this "Anomaly SWa" up
in...

north part of the swamp.

Hmm.

It was quite interesting
'cause there's something

under the surface
when he was in-in the soft muck

that you can see it in the--
in the acquisition line.

It's not metallic, either.

Hmm. Interesting.

But definitely

a very interesting anomaly.

RICK:
The potential target

at the base of
the Eye of the Swamp

means it probably is
some sort of legitimate target

and we'll have to figure out
a way to investigate it.

I believe there are answers
in that swamp.

Okay. What else do you find?

All right.

About three feet down,

a couple new anomalies in here.

So, uh, I do believe
this is your stone path

going along
kind of the eastern edge,

with potential kind of extension
out into more of the open water.

So, this is
a slightly deeper slice.

Now we're at, like,
just over three feet.

And I do believe
this is your paved area

that has started
to show up here,

just north of the peninsula.

And this is where things
start getting

a little more interesting
for us.

It all shallows up, of course,

as you get north
of the peninsula here.

So, this is
very bright conductivity.

Bright colors like yellows
and-and then getting into reds

represents high conductivity
anomalies, and...

the blues and purples
are lower conductivity.

So, higher chance of some sort
of metallic content.

Oh.

And just on the other side
of the peninsula,

that really bright anomaly
shows up there.

It's quite a major feature,
for sure.

JACK:
Why is it

so much darker red there?

The deeper the red,
the higher the conductivity.

So it's very elevated there.

That's the strongest
metallic response

in the swamp area.

JACK:
All right.

RICK:
That's great.

JEREMY: That's kind of
the strongest metallic response

in the swamp area.

NARRATOR:
In the war room,

geoscientist Jeremy Church

has just presented the team
with updated magnetometry data

indicating several metallic
anomalies may lie buried

approximately three feet deep
near the 800-year-old paved area

in the northeastern region
of the Oak Island swamp.

And this anomaly does extend
to deeper than...

this three-foot kind of level
that we're at.

It's quite a major feature,
for sure.

In that red zone,

have we ever dug
for "Anomaly SWe," like,

around in that area at all?

You know,
not to his targeted area.

There may be two feet of water
on it right now.

MARTY:
That sounds like a good target,

but it's a tough one to get to.

RICK: When Jeremy shows
the high conductivity values

in the swamp,

it's a difficult location
to dig,

because it's too wet
of an environment.

Yes, we were able
to drain the swamp,

but the body of the swamp proper
retains a lot of water.

We'll have to wait and see
what it is.

JEREMY:
That-- what I'm calling
"the paved area"--

maybe this is another region
to take another look at.

That's at least three feet deep.

So now we have reason
to go back there.

RICK:
In regards to conductivity

within the paved area
of the swamp,

the first thought
on everyone's mind is,

"This is diggable."

At that location,

you could probably dig 50 feet,
maybe.

-Wow. Okay.
-RICK: Billy could bring

an excavator in there
and dig it to the proper depth.

I think everyone wants to know
what it is

or what it might represent.

MARTY:
Conductivity in the paved area

could have telltale artifacts
on it.

The swamp clearly has mysteries.

I think, Steve, you need to get

all these things on our map

and then it's time to dig.

Yeah. Yeah, that's easy.

JEREMY:
So, yeah,

that's what I got
for you right now,

but a bunch more exciting data

comes in daily
and I'm working it,

so stay tuned.

Well, it's all interesting.

We'll have Steve overlay
everything,

as Marty said,

and-and, uh, have a look.

-Yeah.
-MARTY: That's excellent,
I think.

This data's good.

It means the swamp is full of
secrets-- that's what it means.

(chuckling)

Jeremy, thank you very much.

There's a lot to do.

The only way to do it, as usual,
it's not in this room--

it's out back, as Dan called it.

So, see you, guys.

Till the next time! Thank you!

-Thanks, Jeremy.
-JEREMY: Goodbye. Thank you.

NARRATOR:
After the meeting
in the war room...

-SCOTT: Hey, Paul!
-COTE: Hey, how's it going?

...Craig Tester and Scott Barlow

arrive in the Money Pit area.

Working at a depth of 65 feet

in the Garden Shaft,

the team
from Dumas Contracting Limited

has nearly completed
their probe drilling operation

at the current depth
of the feature's reconstruction.

CRAIG:
Where are they at?

So, uh,
they got one hole 15 feet

and they hit solid.

CRAIG:
15, did you say?

-15. Yeah.
-Okay.

NARRATOR:
An impenetrable obstruction

some 15 feet outside
of the Garden Shaft

and at a depth of some 65 feet?

The questions that arise now
are is it natural

or could it be man-made?

SCOTT:
There could be a void.

There could be another shaft
right beside this one.

-(walkie beeps)
-AURELE: Going down.

SCOTT:
Down just below 58 feet,
60 feet.

-(walkie beeps)
-Good.

SCOTT:
It's-it's a bit baffling.

But it doesn't mean
that it can't be significant,

because lots of places

in history where things...

operations like this have
been done by the depositors,

they may dig down

but then tunnel off to the side
in an offset chamber

or-or back up
towards the surface

and that's where their-their
cache of treasure is put.

-There's another augur
on there now.
-CRAIG: Yep.

We'll try to drill through it.

Okay.

(clanking)

All right.

We got something going.

They got something there.

-Did we hit something, Daniel?
-(beep)

10-4.

Probably a rock or something.

NARRATOR:
After completing
12 20-foot boreholes

covering all four walls
of the Garden Shaft,

unfortunately, no signs
of valuables have been found

at the 65-foot level.

However,
since the shaft extends down

to a total depth of 80 feet,

perhaps they simply need
to proceed deeper

in order to locate
the large source of gold

that has been detected
in the area.

What about timing
going forward from here?

How soon
until you're mucking again?

Uh, so, after they're done,

they'll pull the drill out,

if we don't encounter
any problems,

and then we'll work our way down
and then we'll start grabbing.

NARRATOR:
Once the probe drill
is removed from the structure,

the team from Dumas will prepare

to reconstruct the next
eight-foot level, or set,

-of the Garden Shaft.
-SCOTT: Let's get down

to the interesting depth, right?

I mean, the closer
we get to the bottom,

the more curious it becomes.

Hopefully, that's where
the gold signal's coming from,

-but we'll see.
-COTE: Yeah.

SCOTT:
Thanks, Paul.

-CRAIG: Appreciate it.
-COTE: Yeah.

NARRATOR:
Later that afternoon...

RICK:
Billy, you ready
to start making a mess?

BILLY:
Well,

-I hope so. I hope...
-(chuckles)

I hope it's a good mess.

...Rick Lagina and Craig Tester,

along with other members
of the team,

arrive
at the triangle-shaped swamp.

This is it?

It would be on the eastern edge.

Okay. So, Bill, as usual,

when it comes to digging,
it's up to you.

-Yep.
-So, pull up.

Let's start here.

All right. Great.

NARRATOR:
Now that nearly three million
gallons of brackish water

have been drained
from the swamp,

the team is eager
to begin investigating

a metallic anomaly
that Jeremy Church identified

in the northeastern region

near the 800-year-old
paved area.

RICK:
Digging in the swamp
is incredibly difficult.

But what is

exciting about it

is the possibilities
that it presents.

-(clanging)
-RICK: Right there.
Something hard.

There are some interesting finds
yet to be made in the swamp

that may lead
to "X marks the spot."

CRAIG:
The bucket going across here

is hitting something solid.

You can hear it all the way.

-(clanging) is that?
-RICK: What is that?

BILLY:
I'm not sure.

NARRATOR:
While investigating the swamp,

where a believed metallic
anomaly may be buried...

(clanging continues)

JACK:
What is that?

...the Oak Island team
has just made

a potentially important
discovery.

BILLY:
I'm not sure,
but I think there's all rocks

underneath there.
But I think they're coming...

They're sloping up.

Really?

LAIRD:
You just see the white tops.

STEVE:
Yeah. That's a lot of cobble.

I am gonna take an elevation.

If I remember correctly,

I believe the paved area
was about a foot

to a foot and a half
below sea level,

but let me get-get
an elevation check.

CRAIG:
Okay. Sounds good.

And then just see
if it's coming up at-at all.

Oh.

Yeah, there's
a lot of cobble under here.

It's-- I think it's cobble
the whole way up, Steve, yeah.

Yeah.

So, we're a foot and a half
below sea level here.

Do you think it's sloping up?

BILLY:
Yeah. It seems like
it's coming up this way.

And maybe even side to side
a little bit.

So we've come up
a couple inches here, Billy.

Yeah.

STEVE:
So the grade starts to...

come up. So...

it could be a ramp.

Yeah.

STEVE:
The elevations are about a foot
and a half below sea level,

which is very consistent
to the paved area

that we found a few years ago.

Well, that's important,
because if a ramp

is connected to the paved area,

it's gonna start
at the same elevation.

NARRATOR:
A ramp made of stone?

And possibly connected
to the 800-year-old paved area

that the team discovered
back in 2017?

If so, could it be covering
the metallic anomaly

that has recently been detected
in this area?

Uh, do we want to go wider
or...?

-Any thoughts, Laird?
-I would've thought wider

if you think it's sloping up.

Yeah, I was gonna say,
let's continue this way.

That's what I would do.

And then if it runs out,

it runs out,
which is a good thing.

We definitely think
we're in a paved area here.

Oh, yeah. No, there's no doubt.

RICK:
I think we're all thinking

the same thing.

R-A-M-P. A ramp.

An inclined ramp.

We believe there was a construct

that possibly connected the
paved area to the stone path.

And now we have a potential
connection between the two.

Yeah, I'd keep going that way

and-and what--
uncover it from here...

-Yeah.
-...and-and if we end up having

-to reposition,
we reposition. But...
-Yeah.

Yeah. This gives us
a good starting point,

and the ramp is as important
as anything, I think.

JACK:
So let's start here,

dig it up and see if there
really is a ramp that connects

this paved area to the road.

I agree.

Okay, Bill, keep going.

Okay.

RICK:
Let's see where this leads.

NARRATOR:
As another memorable week
comes to a close on Oak Island,

Rick, Marty, Craig and their
team are once again confronted

with a daunting realization.

The answers
to this 228-year-old mystery

appear to be hidden

in a number of
ingeniously concealed locations.

And while that suggests

that their quest will remain
frustratingly complex,

it could also mean that
following every potential clue

and finishing every arduous dig

will lead
to many profound rewards.

Next time
on The Curse of Oak Island...

SCOTT:
Oh, wow.

No matter what we're into
in this area,

whether it's wood
or water or soil,

-we're getting gold.
-(rapid beeping)

-(gasps, laughs)
-Oh! What have we got, mate?

JACK:
That's awesome!

EMMA:
This comes from Sardinia.

Off the coast of Italy.

-MARTY: Whoa.
-RICK: It's the trail

-of the Templars.
-This thing could have

a worldwide impact.

-Oh, definitely.
It's a game changer.
-Yeah.

The source
of an astonishing revelation.
