Original subtitles

A circular, stone depression...

13 feet. That is the exact same dimension

As the money pit.

Containing important clues

And possible valuables.

- Wow! - Stand right there,

- And you'll get a real good perspective. - Unbelievable.

A cobblestone road

Matching a 2,000-year-old construct

Located halfway around the world.

If there is a portuguese connection

To the construction of the road in the swamp,

Maybe this is the blueprint.

And a wooden shaft...

Ooh, that's the best-sounding target.

- Really? - Yeah.

That just might reveal

The oak island mystery's ultimate answers.

Well, where there's muck, there's treasure, mate.

Treasure island, baby.

In just a few short weeks,

Rick and marty lagina, along with their team,

Will be back for the mind-blowing

Season 11 premiere of the curse of oak island.

And while the money pit remains a top priority

In their quest to unearth a legendary treasure...

We got wood!

It looks like it might be a new shaft.

- It changes the whole story. - Yep.

We could be looking at the money pit.

They'll also be investigating numerous structures

Of unknown origin they've discovered

All across the island.

This construct is unique to the island.

This is quite something.

So, tonight, we're digging into

The most perplexing man-made structures

The team has found that suggest

This mystery is more complex

And goes further back in time

Than anyone ever knew.

Is the fellowship of the dig on course

To unearth multiple treasures?

Well, get ready as we count down

Oak island's top ten ancient structures.

Ever since a 13-foot diameter shaft,

That came to be known as the money pit,

Was discovered on the eastern end

Of oak island in 1795,

More than a dozen well-funded treasure hunting companies

Have struggled in vain trying to get to the bottom

Of that mysterious, ancient construct.

And for good reasons.

It contained wooden platforms every ten feet.

It is believed to be booby-trapped

By elaborate flood tunnels.

It reportedly contained a large stone

With carved symbols,

Which have been translated to read:

"40 feet below, two million pounds are buried."

In fact, so much digging has taken place over the years

That today, the actual location

Of the original money pit is also a mystery.

- Are we there yet? - We're getting close, marty.

For more than a decade now,

Brothers rick and marty lagina,

Their partner craig tester and their team,

Have made a number of valiant efforts

Trying to find the shaft...

- Holy shamoly! - And figure out

Just what it might contain.

That's remarkable.

However, they've also made it a priority

To search the entire island for clues

That will help solve the mystery.

I have been fascinated with trying to understand

The mystery in its totality.

- Amazing. - Quite a structure.

Who, what, when, where, why, and how.

And I think we are on the cusp of a discovery

That will ultimately lead to the solution.

We all come at this differently

And yet we all sit at the same table

With the same goals in mind.

The greater good.

Trying to understand this incredibly powerful,

Incredibly complex mystery.

And those efforts have paid off in major ways,

As numerous structures that pre-date

Any known settlements on oak island...

And contain potentially valuable clues...

Have been discovered.

And that brings us to the first entry on our countdown.

The pine tar kiln.

If we turn over rocks here

And we got organics under it,

That will date the beginning of whatever this is.

All right. Let's get digging.

In 2020, the team, led by archaeologists laird niven,

Dr. Aaron taylor and david mcginnis

Investigated a mysterious stone feature

Located on lot 15,

Just a couple hundred yards north of the money pit area.

The site had actually appeared on a survey map

Created more than three decades earlier

By the late oak island landowner

And treasure hunter fred nolan,

Labeled as a "tunnel entrance."

First thing I'd like to do is just peer down in here.

Yeah. Have a look. Have a look.

It looks a lot different than it does on the tube.

Look at the way it's built.

It kind of looks like a tunnel entrance.

As the experts meticulously excavated

The odd feature, they weren't able to determine

If there was, in fact, a tunnel related to it.

Something was intentionally built on this.

- You're sure? - We're positive with that.

Absolutely. That's 100%.

However, they did uncover clues

That made them believe

It could be directly connected

To the oak island mystery.

So, this goes all the way back to 1500.

The most important artifact on this site is charcoal.

Charcoal is throughout this whole site.

That can only be produced at a site

Where you have repetitive burning.

When you add up everything, this is why david and I are

So certain that it is a pine tar kiln.

It could've been used for construction

Of the money pit.

- Wow. - Really?

Finding a structure that may date back

500 years or more and possibly related

To the construction of the money pit

Offered the team critical clues

As to when the mystery may have begun.

And curiously, later that same year,

They'd unearth an even more stunning man-made feature

That dates to the same time period.

And it's the next top entry on our list.

The stone road.

Wow!

It's quite impressive, though, isn't it?

It's incredibly impressive.

Stand right there and you'll get a real good perspective.

Unbelievable.

Over the years,

Some had speculated

That the triangle-shaped swamp

In the middle of the island

Had been manipulated,

If not completely artificially created.

But when the fellowship unearthed

A massive cobblestone road

In the southeast corner of the bog,

It would lead to astonishing revelations

About the potential origins of the mystery.

Hey, marty.

How do you like your swamp expressway?

This is really cool. I mean, this is mondo cool.

- Yeah. - It's impressive.

That looks exactly like an old roman road.

It's possible.

The team archaeologists believe the road

May have once been part of a ship's wharf,

At a time when the swamp was an open harbor.

And given how well-hidden it was in a brackish swamp,

It may have been used to offload

Some kind of cargo onto the island.

But what? By who? And when?

What I tend to find is that,

When roads have been engineered

With so much stone like this,

They were designed to carry heavy loads.

This stone is two or three courses thick.

Exactly.

There probably was a dock

- A little bit more to the sea. - Yeah.

In an effort to find out,

Rick invited terry deveau,

A scientist and historian,

To examine the structure.

So, to me, it would speak to a technology

Of road building that people were used to using

In the 1500s or earlier.

The portuguese were active in nova scotia in the 1500s.

A possible portuguese design?

Well, get ready for a stone-cold shocker.

In 2021, rick, his nephews alex and peter

And oak island historian doug crowell

Traveled all the way to portugal

To visit sites where,

Between the 12th and 16th centuries,

Strongholds were held by the knights templar.

It has long been speculated

That this christian military order

Had come into possession of priceless religious treasures

During the crusades that included the holy grail

And the ark of the covenant

And had later buried them on oak island.

Okay, let's see what we can find.

Every one of them has a symbol.

Incredibly, they saw carved symbols

Matching several that have been found on oak island.

This symbol is definitely on the 90 foot stone.

But in alqueidão da serra,

They were shown a roman-era road

That was an identical match

To the stone road uncovered in the swamp.

If there is a portuguese connection

To the construction of the road in the swamp,

Maybe this is the blueprint.

During our stewardship of the mystery,

The stone road is probably

One of the most significant finds we have made.

A road in a bog?

To what end, for what purpose?

It looks a lot more similar

- To what we have, that's for sure. - Yeah.

We now have a very unique opportunity

To visit a very early stone construct of a road

That goes back to roman times.

And maybe there's a possible connection to oak island.

The lot 26 wall.

So, I'm sure everybody recognizes this area.

In 2022, rick lagina directed laird niven

And members of the team to lot 26

On the southern edge of the island.

There, he asked laird to lead an investigation

Of a curious stone wall

That had always struck him as odd

Compared to others that were known to have been made

By 19th-century settlers.

It's unlike any of the others.

It's wider. Thicker.

There's more of a construct to it.

Regular farmer's stone walls are just...

You find a stone in the field,

You throw it on the pile, right?

Every single rock wall that I've seen

All over the island is more rounded.

Correct.

I'd like to put a test unit hard up against the wall.

So, we can get a good cross-section

And see how it was built.

Yeah. Exactly.

For several weeks,

Laird and members of the team meticulously investigated

Around and within the structure of the wall,

Looking for clues.

This isn't a field stone.

This is coming from probably the shore.

And it shatters. It's broken off.

So, that's what's perplexing to us.

What were they doing?

- Why is this here? - Yeah.

While laird and members of the team continued

To be intrigued by the wall's construction...

We have a researcher in the azores, francisco nogueira.

Historian francisco nogueira

Offered his analysis

On the feature's possible cultural origin.

No way.

If francisco was correct,

Then the wall on lot 26

Was built during the same era

As the stone road in the swamp.

Could it mean that members

Of the portuguese sect of the knights templar,

Who operated between the 12th and 16th centuries,

Really visited oak island?

- That's charcoal. - That's a cool find.

That's pretty interesting.

- We got a nice, burnt twig, basically. - Nice.

Well, laird, alex lagina and miriam amirault

Found a clue inside the wall on lot 26

That could be carbon-dated in order to help verify it.

The date came in one time period.

1474 to 1638.

Wow.

- Wow. - Great.

I'm a bit taken aback,

Because according to francisco,

The wall on lot 26

Exhibits portuguese construction.

And now you have a date of the wall from 1474 to 1638.

You know, there are connections.

We know the portuguese were in the area.

I think there is a rather unique story

Being constructed about oak island,

And I hope that progress continues.

Progress surely would continue,

Because the next "construct," as rick put it,

On our countdown may have been another

Key piece of evidence that supported

The portuguese templar theory.

The stone pathway.

Start going over there now, billy.

Yep.

After unearthing the stone road

In the southeast corner of the swamp back in 2020,

The team was amazed when they discovered

An adjacent stone pathway

Running along the bog's entire eastern border.

It not only also matched a pathway

That the team would later find in 2021

Extending off the stone road in alqueidão da serra...

I'm ready for a bobby-dazzler, gary.

Oof, long overdue.

But it produced even more incredible clues

That could help solve the oak island mystery.

Ooh, good target.

That sounds fantastic.

Yeah, billy, you might want to come and see this, mate.

This sounds really, really good.

Let's see.

Yup. Definitely got something here, mate.

I hope so.

I think there it is, billy.

Ooh, I can feel it.

Look at that! This is fantastic.

Yeah, looks like a ring bolt.

We could have found a ring bolt, mate.

In the 1970s, fred nolan had also found

Ring bolts near the swamp.

And it was his belief that these ring bolts

Had been used to anchor a large sailing vessel

So that valuable cargo

Could be unloaded onto oak island.

Wow.

Wow, indeed.

That is incredible.

- It's amazing. - Yeah.

The swamp, it continues to be the keeper of secrets.

Will we be able to unravel

Or to come to an understanding of what those secrets are

And how relevant they are to the money pit work

Or the money pit story?

I don't know. That's yet to be determined.

But get down and dirty every day,

You'll eventually figure it out.

- You want to whistle gary over? - Yeah.

- Gary! - Yeah?

Maybe we should detect this whole surface.

I agree with that. I'm coming over.

Just a couple weeks later,

While getting down and dirty with his fellowship brethren,

Rick discovered another one of the swamp's amazing secrets.

Hey, look at that.

Check that out. Cask.

That's what that is, mate, a keg.

Hey, guys.

Check that out. Top of a keg.

- Wow. So, that's a keg, lid to a keg? - Yep.

Holy crow.

Right here.

- Yeah, there's another one. - Yeah, another piece.

Does this... Do these go together?

This one's too rounded.

Yeah, they're different...

Different radiuses.

Two keg, or cargo barrel, tops,

Found right along the stone pathway.

How old might they be?

Hey, carmen.

To try and find out,

Members of the team visited

Their trusted blacksmithing expert carmen legge.

Can you venture to put a date on "extremely old"?

Right.

The stone ramp.

- So, pull up. Let's start here. - All right.

In 2022, rick, craig and members of the team

Excavated a spot near the northeastern edge of the swamp,

Hoping to uncover a large metallic anomaly

That had been detected during a magnetometry survey.

The bucket going across here hitting something solid.

You can hear it all the way.

- What is that? - I'm not sure,

But I think there's all rocks underneath there.

But I think they're coming...

They're sloping up.

Really?

You just see the white tops.

Yeah, that's a lot of cobble.

- I am gonna take an elevation. - Okay, sounds good.

After already uncovering

The stone road and pathway in the swamp...

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

Yeah, it seems like it's coming up this way.

- It could be a ramp. - Yeah.

You can imagine how rocked they were

To unearth a man-made ramp connected to the path.

Could it offer more evidence

That the swamp was once used as an offloading point

For something of great value?

If so, what?

Who constructed it? And when?

I think the ramp looks quite spectacular.

The ramp obviously needs to be thoroughly investigated

To try to understand what does the ramp signify in terms of

The so-called stone path

And where does that stone path lead.

While the team was unable to locate

Any metal objects in the area,

As they continued investigating the ramp,

They were able to find organic materials within it

That could be tested

To give an approximate date of its creation.

Okay, we have two samples here... I'm looking at 'em...

That came from the ramp area.

You have carbon dating results, correct?

Yep.

The, the deepest piece, which was under the second rock,

It could have been there,

You know, as they were building it.

It was dated...

1495 to 1656.

Whoa!

The team had now found

Another ancient man-made construct

That was approximately 500 years old,

Just like the pathway and the road in the swamp,

As well as the rock wall on lot 26.

So, could that mean

That the portuguese sect of the knights templar

Are linked to the oak island mystery?

Perhaps. But it's likely not the whole story.

That's because the ramp connected the pathway

To another feature in the swamp

That actually may be centuries older.

And it's the next ancient structure on our countdown.

The paved area.

We just got to go two meters north and we're there.

- So, north now? - Yes.

It should be right around here, within a couple feet.

I wonder if I can probe down there and actually get hands on.

In 2019, rick, marty and craig

Asked steve guptill and diver tony sampson

To help them probe the middle of the swamp

Where seismic scanning identified a massive anomaly

That was eerily shaped like an ancient ship.

Got something here!

That's... That's weird.

See, that's definitely solid.

Yep, still going further out.

If it's man-made, that'd be huge, being out in the swamp.

That makes this extremely interesting.

Although the ship-shaped anomaly

Has remained a mystery so far,

Once the team drained the swamp and began to dig,

They found something that was no less perplexing.

That remarkable?

- Yeah. - Tell me that's natural.

There's no way that's natural, rick.

Look at it. It's just layered right on top.

It was a vast man-made paved feature.

And incredibly, the team would realize later on

That it actually connects to the 500-year-old

Stone ramp and pathway.

Holy crow.

What are we looking at?

However, when geoscientist dr. Ian spooner

Found a stick within the paved area

That he could test, in order to determine

When it was built, things got really muddy.

There's the dates we're getting.

- Wow. - Yeah.

- What are they? - Around 1200 a.D.

- Medieval. - Medieval, baby!

So, what could explain

A possibly 800-year-old paved feature

Being connected with two 500-year-old structures

In a potentially man-made, triangle-shaped swamp?

The team may have gotten their answer in 2016

When the late author zena halpern

Gave them two maps and a cipher

That she believed had been created

By members of the knights templar.

According to her research,

These documents represented smoking-gun evidence

That the templar order made numerous journeys

From europe to oak island

Between the 12th and 14th centuries

In order to hide their sacred religious treasures.

The ramp is coming from the paved area,

Which dates to 1200.

And the ramp leading from it is 1495 to 1656.

So, does that mean there were successive attempts

To construct something, to conduct some enterprise,

And that it was done over centuries?

Right now, that's the only plausible explanation.

Nolan's cross.

In 1981, fred nolan,

Who had been a surveyor by trade,

Was astonished when he discovered

Five cone-shaped boulders on his property

That formed a perfectly symmetric megalithic cross.

And at the center,

He uncovered a sixth massive rock

That was carved into the shape of a human head.

I thought, if you look at nolan's cross,

There's five dots,

And you only need four to make a cross.

So, the fifth might be what you need to place

A pentagram on nolan's cross.

Wow.

Over the past decade,

A number of theorists have presented rick,

Marty and the team with various theories

About what the cross represents and who constructed it.

The head of the nolan cross

Is a huge signpost, if you will,

That the templars were on oak island.

Most have suggested

That the structure was symbolic

And that the builders were none other than...

Surprise, surprise... The knights templar.

I believe that there is an ancient, ancient

Treasure hidden deep below oak island.

And nolan's cross is the key to finding it.

And in 2022,

Architect and author brian pharoah

Presented his theory of how nolan's cross

May actually point to where

The sacred templar treasures are buried on the island.

Curiously also, nolan's cross is encoding

Sacred numbers and geometry.

So, I really believe that nolan's cross

May lead us to a money pit location

- And where the treasure might be. - That's great.

Sacred geometry is an ancient concept

Where symbolic meanings are assigned

To specific shapes and numbers... Also considered to be sacred...

And are found in the designs and measurements

Of many ancient holy sites all across the world.

So, how does this work with nolan's cross?

Well, let's go to the next slide and I'll show you.

So, these are my measurements of nolan's cross.

The short axes had a length of 720 feet.

720 feet could be broken down into two 360-foot lengths.

The long axes was measured at 864 feet.

I looked at the head of the cross,

And it was extremely close to the 144 sacred number.

And then from the center, we got 432 feet.

And at the bottom, we have 288 feet.

All of our sacred numbers now appear in nolan's cross.

All of this cannot be happenstance.

It has to be planned.

So, how's nolan's cross gonna give us a money pit solution?

Let's take a look at the next slide.

Using the measurements of the cross

To create corresponding circles

And then connecting intersecting lines,

Brian discovered that several of them

Converged at a location in the money pit area

Where he suspected the long-lost treasure shaft

Might be found.

- Wow. - That's an interesting spot.

I was gonna say, we should've had him here a few years ago.

As for solid evidence that he's correct, stick around.

We'll come back to that a bit later.

But several weeks after their meeting with brian,

Members of the team would learn that,

According to archaeoastronomer professor adriano gaspani,

Nolan's cross was likely constructed in 1200 a.D.

So, we have potentially

500-year-old features here on oak island

And still others that could date back 800 years,

Predating the voyage to america by christopher columbus.

But believe it or not, there may be a structure

That's even older than that on these 140 acres.

And that brings us to the next entry on our list.

The well on lot 26.

You wouldn't know it was a well.

- Yep. - Looks crudely made.

It does.

In 2022,

Rick lagina prompted laird niven

And dr. Spooner to conduct water tests

And take core samples from this structure on lot 26,

Which is located less than 100 feet

From the believed 16th century stone wall.

From the moment I saw the well

In the wintertime years ago,

It wasn't frozen.

That was the real "aha."

Why is this well so unique?

Let's just see how we did.

Quite good. Excellent.

There we go. That's a pretty good core.

The first major clue that the well might be

Directly connected to the oak island mystery

Came from the water testing dr. Spooner performed.

So, we got samples of the water from the well.

And, it was one of our only

Silver hits outside of the money pit.

Well done.

As the team worked to determine

How old the well might be,

Laird led the effort to excavate the feature,

Revealing it to be much larger

And more intriguing than first thought.

The well is-is really quite amazing.

In the context of other things found on lot 26,

It maybe, moves the dial upwards.

And we're trying to figure out how old it is

Because lot 26 has always been mysterious.

And while the source of the silver detected in the well

Remains a mystery for the time being...

I'll turn it over to dr. Spooner

And let him describe the core and then the results.

When the carbon-dating of the organic materials

Found inside it were complete, it proved that the well

May be the oldest structure ever found on oak island.

The date I got on the twig at the bottom

Was, 1028 to 1172.

- This is brilliant. - Yeah, great.

Those dates, it blew me away.

I mean, what's this doing in this core?

- Yeah. - That is really cool.

If that well is that old,

I mean, you got to really think about

- What happened on this island. - Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Well, like templars were here or something.

There you go, jack.

Y-you got to wonder what the story is.

Templars, baby!

The stone well on lot 26 just goes to show

The circular stone depression.

Here it is.

All right. Here we be.

Yeah.

What is this, laird?

I thought it was something like the cellar for a barn.

- It's almost perfectly circular. - I know.

In 2022,

The laginas and craig tester purchased lot 5,

Which is located on the western side of the island.

All they really knew about it was that it previously belonged

To the late treasure hunter robert young,

And that he had reportedly made

A number of historic discoveries there,

Including ancient coins and artifacts.

We'll just add to robert's legacy.

That's the whole point of this.

- Yeah. - Continuing the work

That he did for many, many, many years.

The lot is a mystery.

- L-let's see what we can find. - Okay.

And continue robert's work

They surely did,

With incredible discoveries,

Such as a stone foundation believed to date to the 1730s,

A 2,000-year-old roman coin

And a lead barter token

That might not only be related to the 14th century lead cross

But also the knights templar.

Let's start by probing, like, here.

Yep.

- And that should be surface. - That is... That is a rock.

And then... And then go the other way.

So, confidently, I can say there's rocks here.

Yeah, and you can see rocks here.

- It's-it's circular. I mean, you can even see it. - Yeah.

- You know, from the trowel to this little tree. - Yeah. Yeah.

So, when they began investigating

The circular depression on lot 5

That was completely lined with rocks...

- That's soil. - Soil.

They were stunned by what they were able to determine.

I think, why don't we measure it?

Sure.

See if it conforms to some sort of standard.

- All right, so you're lined up with the edge? - Yep.

Here we're at 13 feet.

- That's a bizarre measurement. - That is the exact

- Same dimension as the money pit is described as having. - Yeah.

I mean, what are we looking at here?

Yeah.

The structure matched the original description

Of the money pit when it was found in 1795:

A circular depression lined with paving stones

With a 13-foot diameter.

The round feature on lot 5 can turn out

To be significant because it's so odd.

It's a thing not found elsewhere on nova scotia on oak island.

It could be very meaningful.

We need to explore it.

You can see rocks coming up here,

So, well below these placed rocks.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Right?

The occupation could be...

I mean, we're finding artifacts from the 1750s.

Wow.

Is there any chance that the top feature

Was built at a later date than the rocks that are lower?

Absolutely.

Yeah, this was at a later date.

Yeah, and there could be

An even earlier component under that.

Right?

So, this could be

A really old stone feature that was then rebuilt

- And-and rock-lined back in the 1700s? - Yeah.

That's what we're hoping for.

Finding pottery that dated

To the mid-1700s convinced laird niven

That the feature must predate the discovery of the money pit.

But as the team continued to reveal more layers of stone,

It made them wonder if this structure was something

They've been trying to locate for several years.

Sounds to me like the top feature is not just an apron.

- It's the limits of quite a massive structure. - Yeah.

It could go deeper.

This could fit in with zena's map.

This could be the hatch.

It's close to the approximate location

That we're looking for the hatch.

Ever since the late author

And researcher zena halpern gave the team

A reported 14th century map of oak island

That she believed had been created

By members of the knights templar,

They have been looking for

A number of features labeled on it.

And one that has especially interested them

Is marked right in the vicinity of lot 5,

Called "the hole under the hatch."

I believe in zena halpern's work.

I believe that the map represents

Some features on the island.

Um, is it possible that this might be the hatch?

There are a lot of possibilities on this island.

Who knows what we might find

Down at the bottom of that and where it might lead to.

The garden shaft.

Okay, that would be probably the outside wall there.

- 10-4. - A ten-by-ten shaft.

When the team first uncovered the 82-foot-deep

Assumed searcher shaft,

Rick thought it should be preserved for posterity.

So, he and billy gerhardt built a rock garden around it

As a tribute to all the women involved

With the 228-year-old search.

We've sampled wells

Within the money pit area.

And we do have some chemistry back from this.

We did do

A series of measurements of water levels

Near the... The garden shaft,

Heading south.

But then, in 2022,

Geoscientist dr. Ian spooner and hydrogeologist dr. Fred michel

Tested water in the shaft,

As well as in surrounding boreholes,

During their ongoing effort to pinpoint the location

Of the money pit treasure vault.

We scooped up two samples in the garden shaft,

Sent those away.

And we found,

Gold in, the garden shaft.

If those gold results weren't enough,

When carbon-dating on a wood sample suggested

That the garden shaft was more than half a century older

Than the discovery of the money pit in 1795,

Rick, marty and craig commissioned

Dumas contracting limited, a mining company,

To rebuild the structure

So they could investigate for more clues and valuables.

Emma's got some news.

So, you guys gave me these.

- Right. - This piece right here,

'cause it's small, I could do a map scan of it and...

What-what... What is that?

That's the garden shaft inner lining that...

- Okay. Yeah. - The wood pieces.

- The original shaft? - Yeah.

As the reconstruction continued, the team

Had archaeometalurgist emma culligan

Test a wood sample taken from a depth of 50 feet.

And from this one,

I detected...

Gold.

Those results

Made the team suspect

That the garden shaft could be related

In some way to the money pit,

Especially when they discovered a nearby tunnel

Some 95 feet deep

Where water sampling showed the highest traces of gold

Running almost directly below the shaft.

All right, mate, coming down.

What do you think, gary?

Wow.

What a ride.

My god. This is fantastic.

Although nothing was found

Once dumas finished the shaft down to the bottom at 82 feet,

Before they had to suspend the hunt for winter,

Rick and marty just had to ask

Metal detection expert gary drayton

To scan below it for any signs of

Where the gold was coming from.

- It's two feet deep. - Okay.

- Well, where there's muck, there's treasure, mate. - Yeah.

We'll see what's down there, mate. All right.

Extend it a little bit.

All right.

Ooh, that's the best-sounding target.

That's a nonferrous, yeah.

- Really? - Yeah.

I mean, that's a screaming large hit, isn't it?

Yeah. That sounded really good.

I've said it before.

Oak island is an island of what-ifs and possibilities,

But I want more than that; we all want more than that.

I think we all sincerely believe that we have boxed it in

To the point where we will solve it.

So, is the fabled money pit treasure vault

Just beneath the garden shaft,

Or is it connected to a tunnel some ten feet deeper?

Well, don't worry, acorns, because even though

That's the end of our countdown,

Season 11 of the curse of oak island begins soon.

And along with the garden shaft,

Rick, marty, craig and the team will continue digging into

These ancient structures for the ultimate answers

To the oak island mystery.

Thanks for watching, and, as always, keep the faith.
