Original subtitles

- Here we go. - Whoa.

- There's a timber there. - Yep.

Deep underground structures...

We've got to be close to a tunnel or chamber.

Drill's going in now.

Hold it.

They hit something at 11 feet.

That could be where the treasure's hiding.

With mysterious origins.

This is a tunnel and it goes by the garden shaft.

It's a coin, mate!

Ancient artifacts

With priceless historical value.

The style is definitely from 300 b.C.

- No way. - Yeah.

And stunning evidence...

I detected gold.

- Wow! - This is huge.

Of a legendary treasure.

Well, there you go, guys!

Well, acorns, believe it or not,

We are just days away

From the season 11 premiere

Of the curse of oak island.

And when that day dawns,

Brothers rick and marty lagina and their team will be back,

Attempting to finally solve

The 228-year-old treasure mystery.

Can they do it?

Well, based on what they've unearthed during season ten,

I'd say their chances are pretty golden.

So, tonight, we're reliving

The most compelling discoveries made this past year

That seem to suggest the ultimate answers

People have sought for more than two centuries

May finally be within reach.

Get ready for the top ten finds of season ten.

Ooh! Look at that.

Looks like a handle.

- To a chest? - Ooh! That's fantastic!

Every season of the curse of oak island

Has delivered its own incredible chapter

Of the world's longest-running treasure hunt.

Like they caught it, an end of a beam or something.

I think we're into another tunnel.

But after more than decade

Into their own search for the fabled riches,

Season ten chronicled rick, marty and the team's

Greatest discoveries yet...

There's your well. Right there, you're on it.

Suggesting not only

That something of great historical importance

Happened here long ago...

This is roman. Most likely roman.

But also that something of incredible value

Is still waiting to be revealed.

No matter what we're into in this area,

Whether it's wood or water or soil,

We're getting gold.

Ever since a deep, ingeniously engineered shaft...

Known as the money pit...

Was first discovered in 1795,

People have tirelessly worked to find out

What it was created to hide,

And who could have constructed it.

You know, before rick, marty and their fellowship

Took over this hunt,

Many believed that it was 17th- or 18th-century pirates

Or even european explorers.

However, the discoveries made by this team,

Especially over the past year,

Have just about blown all those theories out of the water.

That brings us to the first top find of season ten.

The lot 7 barter token.

All right, mate. Let's get stuck in.

- Let's find some artifacts, gary. - Okay, mate.

One of the keys to the team's success

Has been that they search for clues

Not just in the money pit area,

But all across the island.

Ooh.

That's a nice signal.

Yeah, that's a nice signal, mate.

Just there, mate. That's my best guesstimate.

And after getting "stuck in" on lot 7,

As metal detection expert gary drayton likes to put it...

it's out, mate.

He and jack begley found an artifact

That gary quickly stuck right in his top pocket.

Is it that? That's a rock.

Yeah, that looks like a rock, but...

Is it? Because if this isn't a rock...

Wow.

- And, um... - It's rectangular.

Yeah. It's rectangular

And it's got some, like, little markings on it.

You think those are markings?

Yeah. I'd just be guessing what it is,

But that shape,

This could potentially

Be, like, an old coin.

That's what it looks like to me, mate.

That'd be great.

Gary's gut instincts about his finds

Are often worth their weight in gold.

Can you show us the edge, emma, please?

Yeah.

But even he was surprised

By what laird niven and emma culligan

Were able to determine about it

In the oak island lab.

Right now, this is the ct scan.

It's an interesting-looking piece.

The edges are strange.

It looks like whatever the metal is,

Was cut with shears.

Just cut like this.

Emma, do you want to come up and...

Sure thing.

Tell 'em what you found?

It had an extremely high tin content,

Which makes it bronze.

Along with a really high arsenic content,

Which makes it an arsenical bronze

And that stands out to me.

The initial scientific analysis

Conducted on the possible coin hinted that its origin

Must long predate the discovery of the money pit.

So, anything with, like, a high arsenic content

Would affect your nervous system.

So, there was this long period of just it phasing out

And because it is a phased-out metal,

It is not a modern metal by any means.

16th century onwards, it's non-existent.

They stopped making this type of metal...

- They stopped making it. - In the 1500s?

Yes.

- Yeah! - That is absolutely brilliant.

It is... it is pretty old. Yeah.

But just how old?

And what exactly was it?

- Let's have a look. - Okay.

To find out, the team enlisted

Numismatist sandy campbell.

So...

This piece is four grams right on the button.

What's unusual is, you know,

It's sort of an exact weight of four grams.

Yeah. I mean, potentially, it is, you know,

Potentially a barter piece that would have value

For that amount of copper at the time, right?

So, it would have monetary value.

How old is it?

It's 500 years old, at least.

- Wow. - Wow.

To date it, it's definitely that period or earlier.

It's absolutely brilliant news, mate.

I mean, this is fantastic.

Yeah.

The discovery of a believed barter token

That's at least 500 years old

Shows once again that the oak island mystery

Could go back further than anyone ever thought possible.

Believe it or not, it's not even close

To the potential age of the next top find on our countdown.

The lot 8 copper artifact.

All right, mate, next flag's over there.

Staying focused on the western side of the island,

Gary and jack moved over to lot 8,

Hoping to find more critical clues.

Dig us something good up.

It's coming up.

Thank you, sir.

You might have moved it out.

It's that.

Look at the color on this! This is fantastic!

Whoa, what the heck is that?

- You're right. - Wow.

- It's got some style on it. - It's got some fancy designs.

This thing is strange

And I don't want to get too excited.

But it's definitely different.

Lot 8 seems to be where we, you know,

Make very interesting finds.

That makes it curious

What activities were conducted on lot 8.

I think we just need to use science

To determine whether or not there's some sort of connection

Between all of these artifacts.

Would we like them to tell a story?

Yes, we would.

The strange artifact featured a number of curious symbols

That no one on the team could identify,

And was clearly another candidate

For immediate lab analysis.

- The scan is done. - Whoa.

You'll see the copper alloy's way up there.

It's 95% copper.

So, if you look at the iron component,

It's almost as equal as the zinc.

And it is pretty small levels.

So, it could be old.

Boom, baby!

Emma's suspicions

About the copper artifact

Were intriguing to rick and the rest of the team.

Well, we're very interested in the reports

That were sent on to you and what you make of them.

It was definitely illuminating.

But no one was prepared for the analysis

Of renowned archaeologist dr. Ed barnhart.

You have 95% copper and just 5% zinc

And about .5 lead, says the report,

Which means that it's brass.

That's interesting, because most brass comes from europe.

- Really? - Yep.

The possibilities of such an object coming to your island

Really increase starting in the 1500s,

But it could be some sort of older object.

The other possibility is the vikings.

We know they came over around 1000.

And we know they plated a lot of things with brass.

I think there are very interesting

And very exciting clues that lead one to believe

That there were early voyages to the new world,

Perhaps to bring something here to oak island.

The real key is connecting those data points.

I am standing in front of the worst-smelling

And most difficult place to search on oak island.

Of course, I'm talking about the triangle-shaped swamp.

And it has revealed secrets that underscore

How the ultimate answers to this mystery

May not only lie buried in the money pit.

Just like the next top season ten find on our countdown.

The stone ramp.

Billy, you ready to start making a mess?

Well, I hope it's a good mess.

After running a magnetometer survey last year,

Rick, marty and the team began excavating a spot

Near the northeastern region of the swamp

In search of a large metallic target that was detected.

A target located right between

Two of the most incredible discoveries

Previously made by the team.

I'm talking about the massive stone-paved area

In the middle of the swamp,

Which has been dated to 1200 ad.

Yes, you heard me right.

And a stone pathway

Running along the eastern border of the bog

That is believed to have been made almost 300 years later.

Stay with me, now.

This is going to get really interesting.

Digging in the swamp is incredibly difficult.

But what is exciting about it

Is the possibilities that it presents.

Right there. Something hard.

The bucket going across here is 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.

Yeah. That's a lot of cobble.

The team didn't find any metal objects.

But instead, they uncovered a stone ramp.

A ramp that is believed to have been made

At the same time as the 500-year-old pathway

In order to connect with the 800-year-old paved area.

So, what could that mean?

In 1969, the late oak island landowner

And treasure hunting legend fred nolan

Suspected there was more than meets the eye to the swamp.

So, he drained it.

Incredibly, he found numerous pieces of ancient ships.

This made him believe that oak island

Was once two islands and that some secretive organization

Joined them together by creating the triangle-shaped swamp

To keep something hidden in plain sight.

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.

That is amazing.

Hey, marty. How do you like your swamp expressway?

- This is really cool. - Yeah.

I mean, this is mondo cool.

It's impressive.

T-that looks exactly like an old roman road.

It's possible.

Well, over the past several years,

The team has pretty much proven fred's theory

By unearthing an incredible stone road

In the southeast corner...

That's beautiful, actually.

- It looks like a handrail. - Or the top of some balusters.

- Yeah. The top of your ship, right around your rail, right? - Yup.

More pieces of ancient sailing vessels

Dating between the 7th and 18th centuries...

Hey, guys. Check that out.

- Top of a keg. - Wow.

And even parts of potentially

15th-century cargo barrels.

If the ramp ties into the paved area in the swamp,

This area continues to be very interesting.

So, I don't know what it was used for,

But we hope we can find the answer.

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.

So, was the oak island mystery actually connected

To a multi-generational conspiracy?

And if so, who had the knowledge, the resources

And the treasure to carry it out?

Well, coming up, the next top find from season ten

Just might help explain.

The goosepaw.

All right, so the first marking

That we wanted to show you guys is over here.

Wow.

This one has been here

For a very long time.

In the middle of the year,

Researcher corjan mol accompanied

Rick and charles barkhouse to inspect

Some mysterious carvings less than an hour

From oak island in the city of liverpool, nova scotia.

We were told this might be a british broadhead,

But we don't know.

We just know it's been here for a really long time.

Although local property owners isaac rafuse and nick fralic

Thought one of the carvings might be from the 18 century

And related to the british military...

Doesn't the broadhead mark come like that?

- You know what I mean? It comes to a point. - Yeah.

After rick questioned that notion,

Corjan offered a much different suggestion

For what it actually might be.

The broadheads were put on everything

Basically that the king, purchased.

So, it could be weapons, equipment,

They put it on trees if they wanted to use them for ships,

But never on rock.

I think that's unlikely.

To me this looks like what we call a "goose paw" in europe.

And if that's what it is,

That would be something because

That is the mark of the masons

For the knights templar, in medieval europe.

As many acorns know,

One of the most incredible theories that some researchers,

Such as corjan mol, have come to believe

Is that the oak island mystery is directly connected

To the medieval order of the knights templar.

Formed in the 12th century

And originally headquartered in jerusalem,

The templars established strongholds

All across the middle east and europe

Between the 12th and 16th centuries

And amassed a vast treasure,

Which some believe included priceless religious objects.

The order was condemned by the catholic church

And the king of France in 1307.

However, many templars are believed to have escaped europe

And the bulk of their fabled treasure

Has never been found.

There's no question that oak island

Was not the singular obsession

Of-of people traveling from the old world to the new world.

That's pretty cool.

So, if there's anything within the province

That indicates pre-columbian visitation to the new world,

It's, it's of interest to us.

And, I think these carvings might represent that.

We have something that's carved by the human hand

In a very unique place

And it may have codes or ciphers within it.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

It's incredible what it may represent.

Like the many searchers who came to oak island before them,

Rick, marty and their team have made amazing discoveries

In the money pit area.

And we'll be reviewing some of those later.

But when it comes to making great discoveries

All across the island,

This team stands apart from its predecessors.

And that brings us to the next top season ten find

On our countdown.

The well of silver secrets.

Years ago, dan blankenship and I

Were wandering over by lot 26.

Came across a well.

No ice on it and it was the dead of winter,

Freezing cold, way below zero.

And we thought, "that's curious,

Why is there no ice on this well?"

Located more than a half a mile from the money pit,

Lot 26 has been an area of high interest

To the team for years.

That's largely because it once belonged to samuel ball,

A man who came to oak island in the late 18th century

As a humble cabbage farmer,

But somehow ended up

As one of the richest landowners in nova scotia.

So, when rick noticed that the well on lot 26

Would never freeze during the harsh north atlantic winters,

He wondered if it might contain secrets

That would shed light on mr. Ball's mysterious good fortune.

So, I'm going to get this corer set up.

- Okay. - In the hopes of determining

How old it might be

And if it contained anything out of the ordinary...

I can feel the bottom right there.

Geoscientist dr. Ian spooner,

Along with archaeologist laird niven,

Collected and tested samples of water,

As well as organic materials.

Excellent.

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

I'll turn it over to dr. Spooner

And let him describe the core and then the results.

Thank you, yeah.

What we got out of it, I think, was completely unexpected.

So, here's the core.

Now, you can see that there's twigs in it,

There's little stones that might have fallen in it.

So, I dated that little brown piece of wood at the bottom.

Which I will say, this is very important,

Was probably not in the mud but was probably in the dirt

At the bottom of the well.

So, it's more likely associated with construction,

And how I know that is that it sort of went

Below the mud in the core.

- Okay. - And this is where it really,

Really got interesting.

The date I got on the twig at the bottom

Was 1028 to 1172.

This is brilliant.

Yeah.

It's turning out to be

A pretty interesting area, right?

Yeah.

After determining that the well

Might be as old, or even older,

Than the paved area in the swamp,

Laird oversaw a methodical excavation,

And was surprised to find out

That it was a much more extensive feature.

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

But no one was prepared for what dr. Spooner found

After analyzing the water samples that they collected.

It was one of our only silver hits

Outside of the money pit.

Well done.

Is it possible that this well is in an area

That has real treasure?

We have dr. Spooner's water sample,

Which showed an elevated level of silver.

Hopefully, you know, some organic material can be found

That can be carbon-dated.

Once you have those answers, you can move forward.

The source of that silver remains a mystery, for now.

But if there really is treasure hidden deep inside that well,

It might not be the only

Hidden cache of valuables on oak island.

That brings us to the next

Top season ten find on our countdown.

Gold in the baby blob.

- Got it? - Got it.

There we go.

Every year, the team has been able

To employ new technology

In their quest for answers.

One of the greatest advances

Has been the cutting-edge water tests

Conducted by geoscientist dr. Ian spooner

- And his colleagues. - Here we go.

- That's beautiful. Nice and clear. - Yeah. That's... Looks great.

Which, incredibly, identified trace evidence

Of both silver and gold

In a number of previously drilled boreholes

All across the money pit area.

We sent in a few samples from the monitoring wells,

And those have been from two depths:

Around the 110 and then around the 150 intervals.

And during season ten,

With the help of hydrogeologist dr. Fred michel,

Dr. Spooner made one of the greatest potential

Breakthroughs yet towards finding the fabled treasure.

Next slide, please.

So, to cut to the chase,

The area in pink there

Would be exactly where the gold is.

Wow.

The 80-to-110-foot area

Is the area that this is coming from.

That's right.

I-I mean, look, I'm all for this.

We should chase that.

Onward and into that blob area we go.

Here we go. You got another core.

The targeted drilling campaign

That followed inside the blob led to the discovery

Of more undocumented man-made structures...

We've got wood.

And even some precious revelations.

We are seeing some quantities of gold.

That's fantastic.

Steve's going to cue up a powerpoint presentation.

But after dr. Spooner and dr. Michel

Tested water samples taken from new boreholes

That were drilled inside the blob,

It led to the fellowship's most exciting discovery to date.

- The new blob. - Blob version 2.0.

- Baby blob. - Yeah, well, yeah, baby blob.

This is a very, very small area.

W-what are the dimensions?

- It's about 20 feet by 20 feet. - Okay.

You have brass and bronze

And of course you also have gold, and you have silver.

But the key thing is that

We don't think this is geological.

So, if it's not natural,

If it's man-deposited,

Then a variety of objects

That are being buried that contain those metals.

Works for me.

Who knows how many different types of metals

Are mixed into a potential treasure chest?

- Gold alongside brass trade tokens. - Sure. Of course.

The results are excellent in that they do indicate

Some sort of large grouping of metallic objects

That could be highly significant.

And these other metals, they would almost always

Be found in conjunction with gold and silver.

Any sort of treasure cache that I would know about

Would have these metals as well.

Earlier, we mentioned how rick, marty, craig and the team

Made incredible discoveries

By searching areas of their property

Beyond the money pit.

But the next top find of season ten on our countdown

Only happened because they purchased a lot

That used to be completely off limits.

The half coin from lot 5.

Well, marty, you and I have an announcement to make,

And I think everyone's going to be

Quite interested in it. So, if you want

To tell everybody, the big secret.

All right. Here we go, guys.

We...

Have managed to purchase...

Lot 5.

- Wow. -Yeah. - Sweet.

For a number of reasons,

This is a really good day for oak island.

Gary, I'm quite surprised you're still in that room.

I can't wait to get on lot 5.

Ever since their quest began,

Rick, marty, craig and the team

Had longed for the chance to search lot 5,

Located on the western side of the island.

These four acres were formerly owned

By the late treasure hunter and researcher robert young,

Who passed away in 2020.

However, during the previous two decades,

He reportedly made a number of important discoveries.

He found coins. He found buttons.

He found other artifacts.

Everything that we have found, he found.

It's exciting.

We know there have been some very interesting finds on lot 5.

All right, mate. Let's see what we've got waiting for us here.

As hopeful as they were to find meaningful clues

On their new property...

It's just too rough land to be farmland, isn't it?

- You would think, yeah. - Yeah.

No one was expecting what rick and gary

"winkled" out of the ground

During one of their first outings.

Cool! Look at that!

It's a coin, mate!

That is old.

It was half of a coin, to be exact.

And gary's suggestion that it was old

Turned out to be a bit of an understatement.

Let's have a look.

- All right. - Just ask sandy campbell.

Part of a coin, hopefully. Let's see here.

I-I think this is probably...

I-I'm guessing it's either roman,

It could be even be byzantine,

But I'm thinking it's-it's roman.

- Roman? -No way! - Yeah.

Based on what I'm seeing on the coin,

I mean, I-I see roman-style characters.

The style is definitely from 300 bc to 500, 600 ad.

- No way. - Yeah.

What on earth would that be doing here?

Of all the ancient discoveries

The team has made over the past decade,

A roman coin is certainly one for the history books.

Not just for oak island history,

But for all of north america.

As alex lagina so perfectly put it,

What in the world is that coin doing here?

Well, the next top season ten find on our countdown

Just might provide the answer.

The lot 5 barter token.

All right, mate. You ready to dig some history up?

Always.

Several weeks after rick and gary went "roman" around lot 5,

Gary returned with jack begley

And conducted a search near a mysterious stone depression

That, incredibly, has a 13-foot diameter...

Just like the reported description

Of the original money pit.

Okay, mate.

It's still in there.

Try and find it.

It's in my hand.

Let's see what we've got.

- That looks like an old coin. - Yeah. You see that?

That nice and round shape?

Please, please, please be a coin.

I'm gonna pull it out.

Look how round it is.

It's lead!

A lead barter token, to be exact.

But unlike the barter token

Found earlier in the year on lot 7,

This one could be submitted

For a specialized form of lead analysis.

Dr. Mcfarlane, I know you did ablation on this.

Yeah. This was a pretty easy object to ablate

Because it was flat, you know, which is good.

Chemist dr. Chris mcfarlane

Conducted laser ablation on the artifact.

This process begins by using a high-powered laser

To collect microscopic samples from lead objects.

These samples are then analyzed for isotope values,

Which can actually help determine

Not only the age of the artifacts,

But also the geographic region

Where they originated.

The biggest result is that, isotopically,

It looks very similar to...

The cross.

No way!

I wasn't expecting that.

I was expecting that.

The lot 5 barter token was a near match

To the lead cross that was discovered by rick and gary

At smith's cove back in 2017.

This means that both originated during the 14th century

And in a region of southern France

That once served as a stronghold for the knights templar.

And incidentally, that cross design

Was also identical to a man-made cave system in osimo, Italy

That rick and members of the team visited in 2022.

Caves that were used by members of the knights templar

Between the 12th and 14th centuries

And in a region that was also once part

Of the roman empire.

What's really intriguing, too,

Is we've looked for

Representations of the cross

And we've only seen one

In a very early cave system in osimo, Italy,

And one on the walls of domme prison in France,

Where the templars were imprisoned.

Now that this scalloped disc

Is a friend of the cross,

I mean, one could,

On some level, associate the two.

Yeah.

That is a head-scratcher.

And another very significant thing

That could tie the templars here

Is if we find "the why."

All those other ws

Are gonna fall right into place.

We're down to the final two top finds

From season ten on our countdown.

And while all the discoveries we've covered so far

Suggest there really could be

An incredible treasure on oak island,

This next one could lead to its exact location.

The tunnel in the baby blob.

All right, this is going to be 98.

More competent material there.

Looks like it's firming up?

Hold on. We got wood.

Wow. That's in... Wow. That's incredible.

We had firm, in-place material above that point.

Now we have structure.

Early in the year,

While drilling a borehole known as dn-12.5

In the money pit area,

The team was amazed when they encountered

A believed tunnel some 95 feet deep

In the zone that would later be identified

As the "baby blob."

The question was, just where did it lead?

Down to 99.

Okay.

After several more weeks of exploratory drilling,

Upon reaching that same depth of 95 feet

In a borehole called dn-13.5...

We've got wood.

- We've got the wood? - Yep.

- They finally found the answer. - Right here.

- Look at that. Same wood contact. - Yeah.

- Eight inches here. - Okay. Wow.

You've got a pretty good chunk of wood here.

Yeah, it's fairly firm there

And above, it's relatively firm.

Undisturbed material and relatively firm below.

This is where we are at dn-13.5.

This is really, really interesting.

This looks like the continuation

Of this tunnel that we hit here at dn-12.5.

Now we're over here at dn-13.5,

Five feet further to the west.

We're starting to get a really good east-west alignment

Back towards the garden shaft.

Yeah. To me, this is a tunnel which it looks like

And it goes by the garden shaft or under it.

It's exciting.

It's wood at an elevation that indicates human beings

Were at that level doing some enterprise.

It's not confirmation,

But it certainly is somewhat supportive

That it is indeed a tunnel.

The team had found a previously unknown tunnel

That passed right through the so-called treasure zone,

Which appeared to be heading right toward

The garden shaft.

Okay, that would probably be the outside wall there.

First uncovered in 2017

While the team was looking for the original money pit,

Rick, marty and craig tester

Believed this feature was nothing more

Than an abandoned 19th-century searcher shaft

Due to the fact that it was only 82 feet deep.

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 garden shaft,

Heading south.

So, we're seeing a general flow direction

That is sort of from the north of the site

Toward the south of the site.

We scooped up two samples in the garden shaft,

Sent those away, and we found gold in the garden shaft.

It was everything I hoped for.

It seems like we're on the right quest.

I think these analyses and chasing this gold

In the water is gonna lead us to the treasure.

However, after drs. Spooner and michel

Announced at the beginning of season ten

That gold had been detected in the water

Flooding the shaft,

The team commissioned representatives

From dumas contracting limited

To reconstruct it all the way down to the bottom...

82 feet underground...

So that they could personally explore it, themselves.

The quest is exciting right now.

Things coalesce around that garden shaft.

There's some evidence it was a man-made structure,

100 feet below the surface right there.

Rehabbing the garden shaft will be a big deal

In the story of oak island.

I'm hoping dumas is going to get us underground

And I think it could yield answers.

For the first time,

We are gonna go underground in the money pit.

That, in and of itself, is pretty cool.

But we're here to solve the mystery.

And the hope is that when we go down in the shaft,

Our senses will be more attuned to the possibilities

Of what the shaft represents

In terms of furthering our understanding

In the money pit.

So far, we've covered ancient coins,

Medieval structures and even trace evidence

Of precious metals, all found during season ten

Of the curse of oak island.

And all suggesting that something of great value

Lies buried deep underground.

But where could it be?

That questions brings us to the top find on our countdown.

A treasured hit in the garden shaft.

Something's binding it up.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Wood would do that.

On their final day of search operations

Before the onset of winter last year,

Rick, marty, craig and the team found themselves on the verge

Of a potentially historic breakthrough discovery.

I'd like to pull the bits and see what's down there.

What do you guys think?

I'd do it before we run out of time.

- Okay. - Yeah, that's a good idea.

While conducting a probe drilling operation

At the bottom of the 82-foot-deep garden shaft,

Representatives from dumas contracting limited

Encountered a wooden structure some 92 feet deep

That they could not penetrate.

10-4.

Oak island doesn't give up her secrets very easy.

No, she does not.

Could this be the believed tunnel

That led straight into the baby blob

Where the highest traces of gold had been detected

Earlier in the season?

- Hello, gentlemen. - Hey, rodney. -What you got, rodney?

Bags of goods. Any sign of any wood in it?

- Nothing big. - Let me just ask you this.

You were pretty sure you were on wood.

Are you still pretty sure?

I'm like 99.9% sure I hit wood on the north side.

Rick, you and I got to go down there.

We haven't explored the bottom yet

To see where the tunnel is.

So, let's go get suited up.

I want to go down in that shaft.

We built the shaft so we could investigate.

So, of course marty and I are gonna go down.

Maybe, just maybe,

We'll see something that has gone unnoticed.

Determined that they were not going to leave the island

Without trying to figure out what could be down there,

Rick and marty personally made their way to the bottom

Of the shaft to investigate.

You know, this is where things would fall

- And gary always says, things fall to the lowest point. - Right.

If there's anything to be found in this shaft,

It might be there.

I think it's worth running a metal detector.

Yes. But also, what if we're five feet above something?

He might be able to detect it.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

With the literally few moments we have left

Is to get gary to try and metal detect.

- What do you think, gary? - Wow. What a ride.

We could be close to the actual treasure.

- All right, we got to move that board. - Okay, mate.

Let's you and I do that.

After all the traces of gold

That had been detected around the garden shaft,

It was time for gary drayton

To see what he could find directly underneath it.

There's a hole, 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 non-ferrous, yeah.

- Really? - Yeah.

My goodness.

You got to be kidding me.

Screaming large hit, isn't it?

Yeah. That sounded really good.

- We know where the hits are, this is important. - Yeah.

The level of excitement when he describes

A non-ferrous hit, it's through the roof.

And that's why it's so frustrating

Not to go after this target,

But we're at the end of the year.

I wish there was more time.

Gary, you're the man. You're the man.

That was so much fun!

Were the hits that gary detected coming from the believed tunnel

Something of great value dropped by whoever

Built the original shaft?

Or was it the fabled money pit treasure vault itself?

Just one week from tonight,

Season 11 of the curse of oak island will begin.

From what I'm hearing, the team has major plans

To find out once and for all

What lies below the garden shaft.

Thanks for reliving these incredible finds with us.

More are sure to come.

As always, keep the faith and thanks for watching.
