1
00:00:03,004 --> 00:00:05,440
That looks like it's hand-hewn.

2
00:00:05,464 --> 00:00:07,620
I mean, it looks like
a slipway, doesn't it?

3
00:00:07,644 --> 00:00:08,402
You are right!

4
00:00:08,426 --> 00:00:11,911
Are you guys ready to
make some history today?

5
00:00:11,935 --> 00:00:12,447
Yeah.

6
00:00:12,471 --> 00:00:16,034
"Ia voute en bas de terre"
is pointing right to the vault.

7
00:00:16,058 --> 00:00:19,287
Zena's map has been
pointing to the vault

8
00:00:19,311 --> 00:00:20,789
this entire time.

9
00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:22,207
Wow.

10
00:00:22,231 --> 00:00:26,044
It's somewhere from
400 bc to 900 ad.

11
00:00:26,068 --> 00:00:28,360
That is fan-damning-toesie!

12
00:00:30,614 --> 00:00:34,219
There is an island
in the north Atlantic

13
00:00:34,243 --> 00:00:37,848
where people have been
looking for an incredible treasure

14
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:40,976
for more than 200 years.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,895
So far, they have
found a stone slab

16
00:00:43,919 --> 00:00:46,898
with strange
symbols carved into it,

17
00:00:46,922 --> 00:00:49,693
mysterious fragments
of human bone,

18
00:00:49,717 --> 00:00:53,405
and a lead cross whose
origin may stretch back

19
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:55,949
to the days of the
knights Templar.

20
00:00:55,973 --> 00:01:00,392
To date, six men have died
trying to solve the mystery.

21
00:01:01,437 --> 00:01:03,498
And, according to legend,

22
00:01:03,522 --> 00:01:06,626
one more will have to die

23
00:01:06,650 --> 00:01:10,360
before the treasure
can be found.

24
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:23,643
Hey, everybody. Hello. Hello.

25
00:01:23,667 --> 00:01:26,897
So, I'm sure everyone
knows why we've gathered.

26
00:01:26,921 --> 00:01:30,192
Erin, thank you again for making

27
00:01:30,216 --> 00:01:32,069
this presentation,
making yourself available.

28
00:01:32,093 --> 00:01:35,280
Night has fallen on oak island.

29
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:38,116
But before they end
another day of investigation,

30
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:42,662
brothers rick and Marty
lagina, along with their team,

31
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:44,831
have gathered for a
much-anticipated meeting

32
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:47,125
via video conference

33
00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:50,504
with geographic information
systems expert Erin helton.

34
00:01:50,528 --> 00:01:53,507
One that they hope
will shed new light

35
00:01:53,531 --> 00:01:56,968
on a 225-year-old
treasure mystery.

36
00:01:56,992 --> 00:02:00,180
We all believe that, you
know, this is going to be,

37
00:02:00,204 --> 00:02:03,308
it may be, possibly,
a turnaround moment

38
00:02:03,332 --> 00:02:04,476
for-for oak island.

39
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,854
So please take the floor.

40
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:09,147
Okay, great.

41
00:02:09,171 --> 00:02:12,359
So, to recap what I've
presented previously,

42
00:02:12,383 --> 00:02:15,320
um, I sent you
guys out for a variety

43
00:02:15,344 --> 00:02:17,989
of potential boulder
locations, and with them,

44
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:20,325
I used them to redraw what has

45
00:02:20,349 --> 00:02:22,202
been lost in the money pit area.

46
00:02:22,226 --> 00:02:25,956
So, let me just share my
screen, bring up my presentation.

47
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:27,833
Three weeks ago,

48
00:02:27,857 --> 00:02:30,252
Erin shared an incredible theory

49
00:02:30,276 --> 00:02:33,505
based on a reported 14th
century hand-drawn map

50
00:02:33,529 --> 00:02:36,633
of oak island, which the
late author and researcher

51
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:39,845
zena halpern shared with
rick, Marty and the team

52
00:02:39,869 --> 00:02:42,514
back in 2016.

53
00:02:42,538 --> 00:02:45,350
This map, which zena
believed to have been made

54
00:02:45,374 --> 00:02:47,394
by members of
the knights Templar,

55
00:02:47,418 --> 00:02:50,689
noted two locations
labeled as "the anchors."

56
00:02:50,713 --> 00:02:54,442
It was erin's suspicion, as a
professional mapping expert,

57
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:56,278
that the so-called anchors

58
00:02:56,302 --> 00:02:59,030
did not refer to anything
related to a ship,

59
00:02:59,054 --> 00:03:02,701
but might actually be
purposely placed boulders,

60
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:05,871
or marker points,
on a master grid

61
00:03:05,895 --> 00:03:08,874
that would lead to the
money pit treasure vault.

62
00:03:08,898 --> 00:03:12,502
The coordinate
is taking me to...

63
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,045
Here.

64
00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:15,589
You're kidding. It's bang on.

65
00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:18,008
When the team checked
the gps coordinates

66
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:19,217
that Erin gave them,

67
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:21,011
they were more than impressed

68
00:03:21,035 --> 00:03:22,262
by what they found.

69
00:03:22,286 --> 00:03:24,181
This is her anchor.

70
00:03:24,205 --> 00:03:25,891
- Okay.
- Wow!

71
00:03:25,915 --> 00:03:28,351
I can buy that.

72
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:32,522
Tonight, after incorporating
the anchor points

73
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:33,899
into her own master map,

74
00:03:33,923 --> 00:03:36,401
Erin is now ready to share

75
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:38,528
with rick, Marty and the team

76
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:41,072
the rest of her theory of
where she believes they will

77
00:03:41,096 --> 00:03:44,910
find the treasure and
solve the oak island mystery.

78
00:03:44,934 --> 00:03:48,747
To this point, Erin, we've
confirmed a lot of your boulders

79
00:03:48,771 --> 00:03:50,916
and we've yet to
prove you wrong,

80
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:52,667
so I think it's time to
go make some history.

81
00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:56,129
Great. Awesome.
So, we've gone out

82
00:03:56,153 --> 00:03:58,548
and found a bunch of
boulders to help confirm

83
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:00,508
where the money pit location is,

84
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:03,053
using these basic
alignment principles.

85
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:06,056
And I actually don't think
we need to be digging

86
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,142
in the money pit area anymore.

87
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:11,728
I think it's an entrance,
a booby-trapped,

88
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:13,271
baited entrance,

89
00:04:13,295 --> 00:04:16,942
um, but I actually think the
vault location is somewhere else

90
00:04:16,966 --> 00:04:19,444
and I think we can
actually follow directions to it

91
00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:22,427
using another clue that was in
the possession of zena halpern.

92
00:04:24,139 --> 00:04:25,784
Today we'll be talking about

93
00:04:25,808 --> 00:04:30,413
la formule cipher and the
instructions that it contains

94
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:32,332
to travel from the money pit

95
00:04:32,356 --> 00:04:34,626
and to the actual
vault location.

96
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:38,129
In addition to the
map of oak island,

97
00:04:38,153 --> 00:04:42,717
zena halpern also shared a
document known as la formule,

98
00:04:42,741 --> 00:04:46,054
a cipher comprised
of mysterious symbols

99
00:04:46,078 --> 00:04:49,474
which curiously match those
reported to have been carved

100
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:51,476
on the legendary 90 foot stone.

101
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,812
In 2016,

102
00:04:53,836 --> 00:04:56,940
rick, Marty and their
partner Craig tester

103
00:04:56,964 --> 00:04:59,901
worked with computer
scientist dr. Kevin knight

104
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:02,654
and his research
assistant nada aldarrab

105
00:05:02,678 --> 00:05:05,282
from the university
of southern California

106
00:05:05,306 --> 00:05:08,159
in an attempt to decode it.

107
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:10,203
"Enter the" something and so,

108
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:12,706
it's some word
that starts with a "c."

109
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:15,981
Professor, could that
also be "chamber"?

110
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:22,257
That's a good connection,
'cause in french,

111
00:05:22,281 --> 00:05:23,572
it's chambre.

112
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:28,179
If you accept that the
zena halpern map is real,

113
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:29,973
then you have to look at it

114
00:05:29,997 --> 00:05:31,433
and try to figure out,
well, what does it mean?

115
00:05:31,457 --> 00:05:33,601
You know, we're
trying to bring in

116
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:35,812
the best minds to
solve this puzzle,

117
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:37,564
and I've seen enough

118
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,399
from erin's first presentation

119
00:05:39,423 --> 00:05:42,068
to be, very enthused
about seeing the rest.

120
00:05:42,092 --> 00:05:44,654
So we're going to
focus on the first section.

121
00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:46,656
We have, "do not dig."

122
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,326
I believe this is describing,
do not dig all the way down,

123
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,703
to you... If you go too
far, you're going to set off

124
00:05:51,727 --> 00:05:54,372
the flood tunnel.
But then it continues.

125
00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:57,792
It says, "burrow at 40 foot"

126
00:05:57,816 --> 00:06:00,045
"with an angle of 45 degree

127
00:06:00,069 --> 00:06:02,797
the shaft of 522 foot."

128
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:06,384
Now, "45 degree," I
think, is an alignment.

129
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:09,220
I personally believe it's
in the northwest direction.

130
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:11,431
So, moving forward from here,

131
00:06:11,455 --> 00:06:14,601
we have more instructions.

132
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:16,770
We have, "you enter the corridor

133
00:06:16,794 --> 00:06:21,191
of 1,065 foot, you
reach the chamber."

134
00:06:21,215 --> 00:06:24,402
Now, we don't have an
actual trajectory this time.

135
00:06:24,426 --> 00:06:27,697
We only have a
length... 1,065 foot.

136
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:29,991
So let's draw a circle

137
00:06:30,015 --> 00:06:34,579
from the suspected corridor
elbow out to 1,065 feet,

138
00:06:34,603 --> 00:06:36,956
and see if it hits anything.

139
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:38,750
It does.

140
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:42,629
It hits cone "e"
of nolan's cross.

141
00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:45,590
Wow.

142
00:06:45,614 --> 00:06:47,884
And if you overlay the corridor

143
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,178
as described in
la formule cipher,

144
00:06:50,202 --> 00:06:54,287
"la voute en bas de terre"
is pointing right to the vault.

145
00:06:55,666 --> 00:07:00,419
Zena's map has been pointing
to the vault this entire time.

146
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:03,108
Wow.

147
00:07:03,132 --> 00:07:05,068
Could Erin helton be correct,

148
00:07:05,092 --> 00:07:07,612
that the treasure that people
have been searching for

149
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:12,617
since 1795 is not buried at
the bottom of the money pit

150
00:07:12,641 --> 00:07:16,621
but instead at the end
of a corridor or tunnel

151
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:20,605
extending over
1,000 feet to the west?

152
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:24,295
Am I hearing talking?

153
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,798
I'm not sure if I'm
hearing discussion.

154
00:07:26,822 --> 00:07:29,175
You're hearing stunned
silence, that's what you're hearing.

155
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,302
Yes... That's exactly
what you're hearing.

156
00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:34,639
Well, Erin, for openers,

157
00:07:34,663 --> 00:07:36,558
I love the concept that
you're following here

158
00:07:36,582 --> 00:07:39,102
because I've always
felt like, to make sense

159
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:42,021
of what's happened over
the years, the money pit was

160
00:07:42,045 --> 00:07:44,107
some sort of trap,
some sort of diversion,

161
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:46,734
and an offset chamber,

162
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:50,071
would be where any
valuables would be stored.

163
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:53,616
Do you have a theory as
to how deep this might be?

164
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,661
Well, I'm not, that
I'm not quite sure,

165
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:59,497
but that actually leads me
to, um, I guess you could say

166
00:07:59,521 --> 00:08:03,001
a slight warning, um, on how
we should probably proceed.

167
00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:05,837
If we drill from the top,

168
00:08:05,861 --> 00:08:07,589
we run the risk of water

169
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:09,048
rushing into the vault.

170
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:12,802
So I propose the safest
way to approach this

171
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:16,055
would be to go after
the 522-foot corridor.

172
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,184
So if we zoom in here...

173
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:21,519
This is where I
propose we go after

174
00:08:21,543 --> 00:08:23,354
to intersect the corridor line.

175
00:08:23,378 --> 00:08:24,397
Again,

176
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:26,566
Erin has brought

177
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:30,028
an out-of-the-box
approach to everything.

178
00:08:30,052 --> 00:08:34,032
She's using zena's
research material

179
00:08:34,056 --> 00:08:37,368
and through that, she's going
to provide "x" marks the spot.

180
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:40,705
What can you say about
that other than... Wow?

181
00:08:40,729 --> 00:08:42,749
So in summation

182
00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:45,084
I love the concept that
it's based on is great.

183
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:48,963
And I think, um, you know...
It's well worth the boreholes.

184
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:50,256
I mean, it would be...

185
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,633
It would be just fabulous.

186
00:08:51,657 --> 00:08:54,135
All righty, well,
thanks, everybody.

187
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,179
Appreciate it. Erin, we
will be in touch with you.

188
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:58,056
If you have any
asks, please call.

189
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,141
Great. Absolutely.
Thank you so much.

190
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:01,434
Thanks, Erin.

191
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:02,977
- Thanks, everybody.
- Thank you.

192
00:09:03,001 --> 00:09:05,544
Very interesting.

193
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:12,487
The following day,

194
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:15,198
rick lagina and
surveyor Steve guptill

195
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:18,117
arrive at the money pit area

196
00:09:18,141 --> 00:09:20,078
where they are joined by
choice drilling representatives

197
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:22,872
mike tedford and
Colton Robinson.

198
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:26,376
So, are you guys ready to
make some history today?

199
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,169
- We're gonna try.
- I mean,

200
00:09:28,193 --> 00:09:30,547
I have high hopes, but
at the end of the day,

201
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:34,384
you two are gonna prove whether
or not there's veracity to this.

202
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:36,219
I wish you both well.

203
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:37,762
It could be a great day.

204
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:40,537
- Thank you.
- All righty.

205
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,352
Using a series
of gps coordinates

206
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:46,271
provided by Erin helton,

207
00:09:46,295 --> 00:09:48,690
the team has set up
the drill rig at a location

208
00:09:48,714 --> 00:09:50,942
they have dubbed ejz-1,

209
00:09:50,966 --> 00:09:53,278
where they hope to reach
the suspected corridor

210
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:55,113
Erin believes will lead

211
00:09:55,137 --> 00:09:57,699
to the fabled oak
island treasure.

212
00:09:57,723 --> 00:10:01,286
It all seems to be coming
around to-to this moment...

213
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:05,081
The research, the
gis background,

214
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:10,169
the actual physical locations
of these on-island sites...

215
00:10:10,193 --> 00:10:12,338
It's all coming
round to this moment,

216
00:10:12,362 --> 00:10:15,925
I.E., "guys, here's where
you want to put a drill."

217
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:19,012
So what do you think?

218
00:10:19,036 --> 00:10:22,287
I think let's go get
it, that's what I think.

219
00:10:23,332 --> 00:10:25,059
I mean, we've
always concentrated

220
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:26,519
on that part of the
money pit, right?

221
00:10:26,543 --> 00:10:27,863
Nobody has really
looked up here.

222
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:33,526
I think the next step would
be, if we do find the tunnel,

223
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:35,153
where do we go from there?

224
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:36,571
- Yeah.
- That'd be a great problem

225
00:10:36,595 --> 00:10:37,927
- to have.
- Yeah.

226
00:10:44,394 --> 00:10:46,998
While the
core-drilling operation

227
00:10:47,022 --> 00:10:51,544
in borehole ejz-1 continues
in the money pit area...

228
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:53,504
Welcome to the research center.

229
00:10:53,528 --> 00:10:54,964
Thank you.

230
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,759
Rick lagina, Charles barkhouse

231
00:10:57,783 --> 00:11:00,178
and Craig tester
have arranged to meet

232
00:11:00,202 --> 00:11:02,430
with numismatist sandy Campbell

233
00:11:02,454 --> 00:11:04,432
at the oak island
research center.

234
00:11:04,456 --> 00:11:06,351
With over 40
years of experience,

235
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:11,356
sandy is a renowned expert
in rare and ancient coins.

236
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:13,107
Outside, he indicated to us

237
00:11:13,131 --> 00:11:16,319
that he's gonna put this
little mystery to bed, so...

238
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:17,403
That'd be great.

239
00:11:17,427 --> 00:11:18,780
That would be great.

240
00:11:18,804 --> 00:11:21,574
- Ooh!
- No way!

241
00:11:21,598 --> 00:11:23,409
That's an old coin!

242
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,036
Seven weeks ago,

243
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:27,205
while searching on lot 15

244
00:11:27,229 --> 00:11:30,750
near a structure believed to
be a 16th century pine tar kiln

245
00:11:30,774 --> 00:11:32,794
that may be connected
to the construction

246
00:11:32,818 --> 00:11:34,921
of the money pit shaft,

247
00:11:34,945 --> 00:11:37,757
metal detection
expert Gary drayton,

248
00:11:37,781 --> 00:11:40,218
along with jack
begley, found a coin

249
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:43,554
unlike any they had ever
discovered on oak island.

250
00:11:43,578 --> 00:11:45,056
That's awesome!

251
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,558
And it's got that
square hole in it, mate.

252
00:11:47,582 --> 00:11:49,060
Yeah.

253
00:11:49,084 --> 00:11:51,104
After cleaning the coin,

254
00:11:51,128 --> 00:11:53,856
artifact conservator
Kelly bourassa

255
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,276
made a surprising suggestion
about its possible origin.

256
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:58,528
Chinese...

257
00:11:58,552 --> 00:12:01,197
Coinage had a...
Had a square hole.

258
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:02,907
Let's see what we have.

259
00:12:02,931 --> 00:12:04,055
Okay.

260
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:11,896
It clearly is a
Chinese cash coin.

261
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:16,421
- Wow.
- And-and, really,

262
00:12:16,445 --> 00:12:19,507
it'd be hard to identify,
but I'm-I'm guessing it's...

263
00:12:19,531 --> 00:12:24,971
You know, it could be 11, 12,
1,300 years old or even older.

264
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:27,519
Because it's a narrower
rim that's on this coin.

265
00:12:27,543 --> 00:12:27,849
Wow.

266
00:12:27,873 --> 00:12:30,393
1,100 years old.

267
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,603
- Wow!
- A Chinese coin?

268
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:36,774
Dating back as much
as 11 centuries or more?

269
00:12:36,798 --> 00:12:39,610
How would such an
artifact get to oak island?

270
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:41,654
And who brought it here?

271
00:12:41,678 --> 00:12:44,699
Okay, so, you know, I-I
don't know if you can...

272
00:12:44,723 --> 00:12:46,617
You can see here, but...

273
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:48,244
It's corroded to a point.

274
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:49,495
Copper corrodes.

275
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,205
Copper's a very active metal.

276
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:53,166
But this definitely,

277
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:56,544
in my opinion, is a
Chinese cash coin.

278
00:12:56,568 --> 00:12:58,087
And you're estimating the date

279
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,922
based on how much
it's deteriorated?

280
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:04,135
Well, I'm estimating the
date based on deterioration,

281
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:07,138
but also just the
way the coin is made,

282
00:13:07,162 --> 00:13:09,223
with a narrower facing rim.

283
00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:12,810
Which really brings
it, you know, 900 ad

284
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,104
back to four... You know,
somewhere in that time frame.

285
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,773
If sandy is correct,

286
00:13:16,797 --> 00:13:19,317
that it was manufactured
as late as 900 ad,

287
00:13:19,341 --> 00:13:21,569
I would have to believe it
absolutely is the oldest thing

288
00:13:21,593 --> 00:13:23,738
that's ever been
found on oak island.

289
00:13:23,762 --> 00:13:24,906
I mean...

290
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:26,574
Wow.

291
00:13:26,598 --> 00:13:28,659
It's that simple. Wow.

292
00:13:28,683 --> 00:13:30,661
We've heard multiple times

293
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:32,580
that, like, the Spanish
coins were used

294
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:34,749
by pretty much everybody.

295
00:13:34,773 --> 00:13:37,418
Were the Chinese
coins in circulation

296
00:13:37,442 --> 00:13:39,879
throughout many
different countries?

297
00:13:39,903 --> 00:13:43,591
No. What-what's really
odd, if you look at...

298
00:13:43,615 --> 00:13:47,053
You know, conquering nations,
if you look at England and Spain

299
00:13:47,077 --> 00:13:49,430
and France, as they
traveled the world

300
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,474
to-to, you know, spread out,

301
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:53,392
they brought their
coins with them.

302
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:54,977
The Chinese didn't do that.

303
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:56,938
They really kept to
their part of the world.

304
00:13:56,962 --> 00:14:00,107
So their coins didn't travel.

305
00:14:00,131 --> 00:14:01,651
So how did it get to oak island?

306
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:03,694
Yeah, that-that's
where I was going.

307
00:14:03,718 --> 00:14:08,324
What's-what's a coin of
that age doing on oak island?

308
00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:10,868
I think... I think it landed
here as a pocket piece.

309
00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:12,537
You know?

310
00:14:12,561 --> 00:14:15,540
When people landed
in the... In the far east,

311
00:14:15,564 --> 00:14:18,042
you know, they would...
They would take this stuff,

312
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:21,587
as pocket pieces,
good luck charms.

313
00:14:21,611 --> 00:14:23,130
You know, 'cause
it was so different,

314
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:26,509
and it was in their...
Their lucky pocket, and...

315
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,553
Maybe they weren't
so lucky that day.

316
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:30,513
Who would've
thought? Right, Craig?

317
00:14:30,537 --> 00:14:32,390
Yeah, it's amazing.

318
00:14:32,414 --> 00:14:35,560
I mean, that... We don't
find that many coins as it is,

319
00:14:35,584 --> 00:14:37,019
and everybody

320
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,855
had them in their
pockets, all the searchers,

321
00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:41,232
all the original people,
and to find something

322
00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:45,528
that would be rare to be in
somebody's pocket is amazing.

323
00:14:45,552 --> 00:14:48,698
It's quite a piece,
no doubt about that.

324
00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:50,449
You know what, we
should call Gary, maybe,

325
00:14:50,473 --> 00:14:52,368
- and have him come down...
- I think...

326
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:53,953
He'd be... He'd
be sky high, right?

327
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:56,205
He'd be floating on a cloud.

328
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:57,832
Absolutely. Why don't
I bring him up here.

329
00:14:57,856 --> 00:14:59,500
You know, Gary has a keen eye.

330
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:01,502
I mean, there's no
question about it.

331
00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:04,797
Not only is he gifted as
a metal detectorist, but...

332
00:15:04,821 --> 00:15:08,175
He is so invested and
so in the moment, right?

333
00:15:08,199 --> 00:15:09,719
"It's a coin!"

334
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,512
I can't even say
it like he does.

335
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:14,015
I can't even say it with
the enthusiasm he says it.

336
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:15,413
And it brings us all up.

337
00:15:16,791 --> 00:15:18,394
Hello, chaps.

338
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,688
Hey. Step to center stage.

339
00:15:20,712 --> 00:15:22,440
- Yes.
- This is sandy Campbell.

340
00:15:22,464 --> 00:15:25,109
- How you doing, mate?
- How you doing? - He's a numismatist,

341
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:27,258
and we invited him
down to take a look at.

342
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:30,428
Your find.

343
00:15:33,391 --> 00:15:34,785
And everybody's smiling,

344
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:36,120
by the look of it.

345
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:38,122
You've got good news, mate?

346
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:39,165
Well, I mean

347
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:41,417
I think it's good news

348
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:43,461
for the island, obviously.

349
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:45,129
It's...

350
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:46,839
This is a Chinese cash coin.

351
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:50,885
It's probably somewhere

352
00:15:50,909 --> 00:15:52,784
from 400 bc to 900 ad.

353
00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:57,391
That is fan-damning-toesie!

354
00:15:57,415 --> 00:15:59,226
- That is crazy!
- Yeah. I-I think

355
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:00,478
it's been here a while.

356
00:16:00,502 --> 00:16:02,480
You could just look at it.

357
00:16:02,504 --> 00:16:05,441
It's like the cross. You
can hold that in your hand,

358
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:08,611
and you know that
that is really, really old.

359
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:09,946
Yeah.

360
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:12,406
Once again, rick, Marty,

361
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:13,908
Craig and the team

362
00:16:13,932 --> 00:16:15,910
have found something
that could suggest

363
00:16:15,934 --> 00:16:18,120
the oak island mystery
may date back further

364
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:19,997
than anyone ever knew.

365
00:16:20,021 --> 00:16:23,084
And just like other
recent ancient finds,

366
00:16:23,108 --> 00:16:25,461
such as the 14th
century lead cross,

367
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:28,923
two key questions
resound more than ever:

368
00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:32,176
Could it be that this
Chinese coin was dropped

369
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,679
by someone
searching for treasure?

370
00:16:34,703 --> 00:16:38,182
Or by someone
who made a deposit?

371
00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:41,227
This is potentially treasure.

372
00:16:41,251 --> 00:16:43,479
Well, it is treasure. It's...

373
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:45,356
It's quite valuable in...

374
00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:48,651
In the giant scheme of
things for the island, for sure.

375
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:51,320
What a top-pocket find that is.

376
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:52,822
Yeah.

377
00:16:52,846 --> 00:16:54,991
So, sandy, thank you very much.

378
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:57,326
It's certainly now part
of the oak island history.

379
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,704
- Yeah.
- It's quite amazing.

380
00:16:59,728 --> 00:17:02,206
- Yeah.
- Let's go out and find some more treasure.

381
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:04,375
- Let's go back out.
- Let's do it.

382
00:17:04,399 --> 00:17:06,210
This is unbelievable.

383
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:07,795
Yeah, it is.

384
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:11,298
After his meeting at
the research center...

385
00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:13,384
- Hey, rick.
- Hey.

386
00:17:13,408 --> 00:17:15,052
Rick lagina returns
to the money pit,

387
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:17,221
where he is eager
for a progress report

388
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:19,849
on borehole ejz-1.

389
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:21,392
So, we're about to hit 99.

390
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:24,186
It's been hard till pretty much

391
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,563
- the whole way.
- We did hit

392
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:26,939
one horizon of...

393
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:29,734
It wasn't fully saturated
s... Sand and gravel,

394
00:17:29,758 --> 00:17:31,736
but you could see

395
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,448
bedded clastic
clay, so undisturbed.

396
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:37,867
So, I watched this core,

397
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:41,370
and they had a real quick
slip where it just dropped.

398
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:43,622
And this might be interesting.

399
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,916
In my mind, today is a huge day,

400
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:50,046
because of zena's research,
the tie between erin's expertise

401
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:54,592
and-and knowledge
about gis analytics...

402
00:17:54,616 --> 00:17:56,177
And the research

403
00:17:56,201 --> 00:17:59,096
that now become intertwined.

404
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,098
And,

405
00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:03,225
I'm very hopeful,
exceedingly hopeful.

406
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:06,145
I don't think I've ever
been this interested

407
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:09,378
in a drill program as
much as I am in this one.

408
00:18:11,674 --> 00:18:13,235
What is that? Is that bedrock?

409
00:18:13,259 --> 00:18:14,570
No, it's a large boulder.

410
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,074
- It's a boulder.
- Right over there.

411
00:18:17,347 --> 00:18:20,076
No... Is that a boulder?

412
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,327
No. This is...

413
00:18:21,351 --> 00:18:22,620
No. That's just...

414
00:18:22,644 --> 00:18:24,580
Bedded sentiment.

415
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:26,791
- Is that your stone?
- That's the stone.

416
00:18:26,815 --> 00:18:29,668
In order for there
to be a tunnel,

417
00:18:29,692 --> 00:18:32,379
you need some competent
cap rock over you.

418
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:33,547
Yeah, you would think.

419
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:36,300
You know exactly
what we're looking for.

420
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:38,344
We just have to
keep our eyes peeled.

421
00:18:38,368 --> 00:18:39,512
It would be associated

422
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:42,056
with some loose area.

423
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,767
But this type of material
is not what I'm thinking.

424
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:48,258
We have to consider
the possibility of backfill.

425
00:18:48,282 --> 00:18:48,771
Yeah.

426
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:51,732
It's just the verbiage
on the formule cipher.

427
00:18:51,756 --> 00:18:54,068
It doesn't say walk in,

428
00:18:54,092 --> 00:18:55,903
or walk-in accessible.

429
00:18:55,927 --> 00:18:58,447
- You have to burrow in.
- I see what you mean, yeah.

430
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:01,075
In my mind, we're
not gonna get lucky

431
00:19:01,099 --> 00:19:03,244
to the point where it's
just some open void,

432
00:19:03,268 --> 00:19:04,954
with cribbing above
and cribbing below.

433
00:19:04,978 --> 00:19:06,747
- No.
- It's not gonna be that easy.

434
00:19:06,771 --> 00:19:08,499
No, I agree with that.

435
00:19:08,523 --> 00:19:10,626
Keep your mind
open for possibilities,

436
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:14,505
because sometimes,
as you all know by now,

437
00:19:14,529 --> 00:19:16,340
something straightforward
on oak island

438
00:19:16,364 --> 00:19:19,677
isn't necessarily
straightforward.

439
00:19:19,701 --> 00:19:27,643
We'll keep you posted.

440
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,813
As a new day
begins on oak island...

441
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:33,524
- Where's our tunnel, Steve?
- It's deeper.

442
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:35,943
And as terry Matheson
and Steve guptill continue

443
00:19:35,967 --> 00:19:39,655
to oversee the drilling
operation at the money pit...

444
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:42,032
- You ready, Pete?
- I am.

445
00:19:42,056 --> 00:19:43,492
Peter fornetti

446
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:46,704
and metal detection
expert Gary drayton arrive

447
00:19:46,728 --> 00:19:49,081
at the southeastern
corner of the swamp,

448
00:19:49,105 --> 00:19:51,542
which is currently being
drained in preparation

449
00:19:51,566 --> 00:19:53,836
for a new excavation.

450
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:55,796
- Okay, mate. Let's get stuck in.
- Let's do it.

451
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:59,675
Since a portion of the area is
now dry enough to investigate,

452
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:03,304
and after confirming
that the coin found nearby

453
00:20:03,328 --> 00:20:04,930
is not only Chinese

454
00:20:04,954 --> 00:20:08,017
but possibly more
than ten centuries old,

455
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:10,895
Gary is eager to see
what other important clues,

456
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:12,730
or pieces of treasure,

457
00:20:12,754 --> 00:20:15,691
may lie buried near the surface.

458
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:18,110
Let's see what it is, mate.

459
00:20:18,134 --> 00:20:19,134
- Okay.
- Just there.

460
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:25,367
A lot of this material
came from the beach.

461
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:27,369
- Yeah.
- Well, if that road wasn't here,

462
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:29,685
this would be the beach.

463
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:35,252
Yeah, there's a big
piece of iron down there.

464
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:40,571
Just getting it out.

465
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:45,512
Look at that.

466
00:20:45,536 --> 00:20:47,181
- That's...
- That's a beauty.

467
00:20:47,205 --> 00:20:48,682
That's a hefty piece.

468
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,726
Yeah. That is...
It's not that heavy,

469
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:53,771
but that is an
old pin, for sure.

470
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:55,522
A pin for what?

471
00:20:55,546 --> 00:20:59,693
- A pin for a ship or a wharf.
- Okay.

472
00:20:59,717 --> 00:21:04,531
- This is easy to I.D.
- For a date, as well.

473
00:21:04,555 --> 00:21:09,097
This is easily in the
1700s, maybe even older.

474
00:21:09,121 --> 00:21:09,787
Yeah.

475
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:13,958
An iron pin from a
ship or ship's wharf

476
00:21:13,982 --> 00:21:17,336
found near the southeastern
border of the swamp

477
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:21,799
and possibly dating back
to the 1700s or earlier?

478
00:21:23,241 --> 00:21:24,468
What's this?

479
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:25,636
Two weeks ago,

480
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:27,179
while probing in this area

481
00:21:27,203 --> 00:21:28,973
where a possible
man-made structure

482
00:21:28,997 --> 00:21:31,517
had previously been
detected by sonar...

483
00:21:31,541 --> 00:21:33,811
- Do you hear that?
- Yeah.

484
00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:36,939
- There's rock here.
- That could be it.

485
00:21:36,963 --> 00:21:40,776
Rick lagina and
geoscientist dr. Ian spooner

486
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,153
identified a mysterious
stone feature,

487
00:21:43,177 --> 00:21:46,615
measuring some 20
feet wide by 70 feet long,

488
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:50,911
they believe could be some
kind of road or possibly a wharf.

489
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:53,163
Although the team must wait

490
00:21:53,187 --> 00:21:55,666
for that area of the swamp
to be completely drained

491
00:21:55,690 --> 00:21:58,502
before they can further
investigate the feature,

492
00:21:58,526 --> 00:22:01,422
could Gary and peter have
just found more evidence

493
00:22:01,446 --> 00:22:05,092
of what it actually may be?

494
00:22:05,116 --> 00:22:07,678
This is fantastic. What
a great start, mate?

495
00:22:07,702 --> 00:22:10,014
- It's a good find.
- Good digging.

496
00:22:10,038 --> 00:22:12,474
Okay, mate, let's put
that in my finds pouch,

497
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:13,726
and we'll keep moving.

498
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:15,811
While Gary and peter

499
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:18,336
continue searching on
the bank of the swamp.

500
00:22:21,424 --> 00:22:24,194
- Later that day at the money pit...
- It's a big one.

501
00:22:24,218 --> 00:22:25,946
Yep.

502
00:22:25,970 --> 00:22:27,948
Surveyor Steve guptill,

503
00:22:27,972 --> 00:22:30,326
oak island historian
Charles barkhouse

504
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:32,494
and geologist terry Matheson

505
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:37,416
continue to monitor the
progress of borehole ejz-1.

506
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,627
- That's not backfill, is it?
- To me that looks like sand.

507
00:22:40,651 --> 00:22:43,297
You know what, Steve?

508
00:22:43,321 --> 00:22:44,695
It is sand.

509
00:22:45,907 --> 00:22:48,427
A defined layer of sand

510
00:22:48,451 --> 00:22:51,327
found beneath the ground
soil in the money pit area?

511
00:22:52,330 --> 00:22:54,475
Could it be a natural feature?

512
00:22:54,499 --> 00:22:58,228
Or could it potentially be a
sign of the backfilled tunnel

513
00:22:58,252 --> 00:23:00,731
that oak island theorist
Erin helton believes

514
00:23:00,755 --> 00:23:03,547
the team will find in this area?

515
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:08,155
What's the,
approximate depth there?

516
00:23:08,179 --> 00:23:10,282
It's 119 there.

517
00:23:10,306 --> 00:23:13,786
Think we can see a-a
coarsening horizon here.

518
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:16,330
It's some weak
indications of bedding.

519
00:23:16,354 --> 00:23:18,957
We grayed out of it here

520
00:23:18,981 --> 00:23:20,918
into perhaps some
kind of a bit of till,

521
00:23:20,942 --> 00:23:23,087
and then it gets
coarser right there.

522
00:23:23,111 --> 00:23:24,588
I would say your sand

523
00:23:24,612 --> 00:23:26,382
- is from here to there, wouldn't you?
- Yeah.

524
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:31,575
So, we have potentially
four feet, natural or backfill?

525
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:36,747
It looks like it's natural.

526
00:23:38,668 --> 00:23:40,354
So, this is the
end of this hole.

527
00:23:40,378 --> 00:23:42,564
Yep.

528
00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:44,441
We didn't find erin's tunnel.

529
00:23:44,465 --> 00:23:46,110
No, we haven't seen
any indications...

530
00:23:46,134 --> 00:23:48,320
- Rick's here.
- Morning, guys.

531
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:50,572
- Hey, rick. How you doing?
- So, tell me some good news.

532
00:23:50,596 --> 00:23:53,325
Well, the hole
gave no indications

533
00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:54,827
of a tunnel, per se.

534
00:23:54,851 --> 00:23:58,539
But we confirmed a sandy
seam, which probably is,

535
00:23:58,563 --> 00:24:00,624
natural.

536
00:24:00,648 --> 00:24:04,253
We've already committed
a lot of assets to this.

537
00:24:04,277 --> 00:24:07,089
Now I'm looking to you
to be coldly analytical.

538
00:24:07,113 --> 00:24:09,883
I-I'm emotionally
connected to it,

539
00:24:09,907 --> 00:24:12,845
and that's never a good way
to make a very science-based,

540
00:24:12,869 --> 00:24:15,431
data-driven decision.

541
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:19,852
So, I will look to you
guys for your suggestions.

542
00:24:19,876 --> 00:24:22,020
She's basing her whole alignment

543
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:24,440
off of rf-1 being the
center of the money pit,

544
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,233
but from what we know
based on the drilling last year,

545
00:24:26,257 --> 00:24:30,279
the center of the money
pit could be from rf-1 to oc-1.

546
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:33,740
And so, we have wood
in oc-I dated at 1706.

547
00:24:33,764 --> 00:24:37,161
If we use that as our
outer extremity or extreme

548
00:24:37,185 --> 00:24:38,976
of the money pit,
it moves it east.

549
00:24:40,521 --> 00:24:42,332
Is it possible,

550
00:24:42,356 --> 00:24:46,628
as Steve guptill is
suggesting, that borehole oc-1,

551
00:24:46,652 --> 00:24:48,672
where the team
recovered hand-cut wood

552
00:24:48,696 --> 00:24:51,717
dating back to 1706 last year,

553
00:24:51,741 --> 00:24:55,345
did indeed intersect
the original money pit

554
00:24:55,369 --> 00:25:00,184
and could still help prove
that Erin helton's theory is true?

555
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:02,186
I love the theory, I
think there's merit to it.

556
00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:04,813
The geometry
works, the data works.

557
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:08,358
It's driven by science and
research, which I've always said

558
00:25:08,382 --> 00:25:12,821
is one of the lynchpins
of ultimately solving this.

559
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:16,992
And Erin needs to have the
information so that she can

560
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:19,036
reassess the results
of the drill program.

561
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:20,537
Absolutely.

562
00:25:20,561 --> 00:25:23,832
So, why don't we give her a
call and bring her up to speed?

563
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:25,501
We continue to believe,

564
00:25:25,525 --> 00:25:27,544
we continue to-to
push the envelope

565
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:30,714
in terms of giving Erin all
the information she needs.

566
00:25:30,738 --> 00:25:34,301
And at some point, the
drill program will proceed.

567
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:36,470
Hi, Erin, how you doing?

568
00:25:36,494 --> 00:25:38,805
- Hi. Good.
- Good. This is Steve.

569
00:25:38,829 --> 00:25:42,059
I'm at the table with,
rick, Charles and terry.

570
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:44,375
So, we're just gonna fill
you in, on what's going on.

571
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:47,397
We just finished your hole.

572
00:25:47,421 --> 00:25:49,004
We didn't see your tunnel.

573
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:54,696
Well, y... I remember
o-our initial conversation.

574
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,074
You consume data, so
we'll give you every bit of data

575
00:25:57,098 --> 00:25:59,117
that we, that we have
in our possession,

576
00:25:59,141 --> 00:26:00,891
and you can reassess.

577
00:26:03,938 --> 00:26:06,333
Although the team
intends to keep searching

578
00:26:06,357 --> 00:26:08,919
for the tunnel that Erin
believes will lead them

579
00:26:08,943 --> 00:26:11,505
to the fabled treasure
vault, they will now wait

580
00:26:11,529 --> 00:26:15,384
until she can calculate
a new drilling location.

581
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:17,344
- All right, thanks, Erin.
- Okay. Thanks, Erin.

582
00:26:17,368 --> 00:26:18,929
- See you, Erin.
- See you.

583
00:26:18,953 --> 00:26:20,681
- Take care.
- Bye, now.

584
00:26:20,705 --> 00:26:23,747
All right, good
luck. See you later.

585
00:26:26,961 --> 00:26:30,148
Construction site
stuff around here.

586
00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:31,775
- Modern?
- Yeah, too modern.

587
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:34,820
While metal detection
expert Gary drayton

588
00:26:34,844 --> 00:26:37,531
and rick and marty's
nephew peter fornetti

589
00:26:37,555 --> 00:26:40,617
continue their search for clues
near the oak island swamp,

590
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:44,663
some 200 yards
northeast on lot 15...

591
00:26:44,687 --> 00:26:46,540
Hey, you guys.

592
00:26:46,564 --> 00:26:48,125
- Hey, Alex.
- Hey.

593
00:26:48,149 --> 00:26:50,669
Marty lagina's son Alex

594
00:26:50,693 --> 00:26:53,255
joins archaeologists
dr. Aaron Taylor

595
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:57,217
and Miriam amirault as
they continue to investigate

596
00:26:57,241 --> 00:27:00,429
a mysterious,
serpent-shaped mound.

597
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:03,432
We've gone through
the mat layer, forest mat.

598
00:27:03,456 --> 00:27:05,809
I think it's a lot of
this is redeposited.

599
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:07,436
Interesting.

600
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,855
- Now, Miriam would like to excavate...
- Yeah.

601
00:27:09,879 --> 00:27:12,774
So I was thinking that the
two of you can tackle that.

602
00:27:12,798 --> 00:27:14,693
- Sure. All right, well, we'll...
- All right.

603
00:27:14,717 --> 00:27:15,902
We'll go over there
and get set up.

604
00:27:15,926 --> 00:27:17,738
So, I'll just grab this bucket

605
00:27:17,762 --> 00:27:19,698
- and meet you over there.
- Okay.

606
00:27:19,722 --> 00:27:22,159
Hey, gentlemen. How
are you? Hey, Doug.

607
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:23,493
One week ago,

608
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:26,038
oak island researcher
Doug crowell

609
00:27:26,062 --> 00:27:29,249
alerted rick, Marty and
the team to the feature

610
00:27:29,273 --> 00:27:30,667
after discovering it

611
00:27:30,691 --> 00:27:35,172
not far from the 16th
century pine tar kiln.

612
00:27:35,196 --> 00:27:36,882
Those are some big stones.

613
00:27:36,906 --> 00:27:39,092
This structure, once
I got looking at it,

614
00:27:39,116 --> 00:27:41,178
I realized it's quite long.

615
00:27:41,202 --> 00:27:45,390
It's this ridge of-of
boulders and soil.

616
00:27:45,414 --> 00:27:47,225
It doesn't look natural.

617
00:27:47,249 --> 00:27:49,895
It sort of reminds you
of the serpent mounds

618
00:27:49,919 --> 00:27:51,480
- in Ontario.
- Yeah.

619
00:27:51,504 --> 00:27:53,940
Upon first seeing the formation,

620
00:27:53,964 --> 00:27:56,485
dr. Taylor noted its
striking resemblance

621
00:27:56,509 --> 00:28:01,198
to ancient ceremonial features
found in keene, Ontario, Canada,

622
00:28:01,222 --> 00:28:04,117
which date back as
much as 2,000 years,

623
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:06,578
known as the serpent mounds.

624
00:28:06,602 --> 00:28:09,623
Is it possible that this
feature could in some way

625
00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:11,375
be connected to the Chinese coin

626
00:28:11,399 --> 00:28:14,544
the team discovered
on this same lot

627
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:19,341
and has been dated to be
more than 1,000 years old?

628
00:28:19,365 --> 00:28:23,553
Okay. So, what would,
what would we be looking for

629
00:28:23,577 --> 00:28:26,098
that's gonna give it
away, right off the bat?

630
00:28:26,122 --> 00:28:28,058
Um, we're gonna just dig down.

631
00:28:28,082 --> 00:28:30,310
- We'll see?
- See if there's anything in there.

632
00:28:30,334 --> 00:28:32,938
Get rid of this top layer
and then we can really get

633
00:28:32,962 --> 00:28:34,189
- into the digging.
- Okay.

634
00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:35,337
Cool.

635
00:28:52,940 --> 00:28:55,399
Ooh. I got charcoal.

636
00:28:56,736 --> 00:28:58,505
Do you guys want
to come take a look?

637
00:28:58,529 --> 00:28:59,756
We'll be right there.

638
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:02,467
Charcoal?

639
00:29:02,491 --> 00:29:05,011
Could dr. Taylor have
just found an important clue

640
00:29:05,035 --> 00:29:08,640
that could help identify
the age of this feature?

641
00:29:08,664 --> 00:29:10,434
Where do you see it?

642
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:13,770
Just a little, little...
Some little flecks of it.

643
00:29:13,794 --> 00:29:15,147
Yeah.

644
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:16,440
What's the next step?

645
00:29:16,464 --> 00:29:19,151
- Just keep going and-and bag that?
- Yeah.

646
00:29:19,175 --> 00:29:20,610
I'm gonna bag this,

647
00:29:20,634 --> 00:29:22,195
take it to the lab.

648
00:29:22,219 --> 00:29:25,574
And hopefully run a
carbon-14 date on it.

649
00:29:27,057 --> 00:29:29,035
Which will tell us when
it was burned or when...

650
00:29:29,059 --> 00:29:31,997
- Which will tell us when it was burned.
- Yeah.

651
00:29:32,021 --> 00:29:33,457
So, the other thing

652
00:29:33,481 --> 00:29:35,292
that we might be able
to do with this charcoal,

653
00:29:35,316 --> 00:29:37,544
if we carbon-date
it... 'cause I know

654
00:29:37,568 --> 00:29:40,213
relatively close
in proximity to the,

655
00:29:40,237 --> 00:29:42,799
what we're thinking
is the tar kiln.

656
00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:45,385
If this charcoal comes back

657
00:29:45,409 --> 00:29:49,014
as roughly the same date or
similar date as that charcoal,

658
00:29:49,038 --> 00:29:51,224
then we know that the burn event

659
00:29:51,248 --> 00:29:52,809
was probably the
same burn event,

660
00:29:52,833 --> 00:29:55,061
and that sort of associates

661
00:29:55,085 --> 00:29:57,481
- this feature with that feature.
- Right.

662
00:29:57,505 --> 00:29:59,441
This is kind of what we
did over there, too, right?

663
00:29:59,465 --> 00:30:02,444
We just, like, chased
the hints of a feature

664
00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:04,780
all the way into the center
of it and then started finding

665
00:30:04,804 --> 00:30:07,240
- find after find after find.
- Yeah.

666
00:30:07,264 --> 00:30:10,036
So, this is actually,
this could be pretty cool.

667
00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:10,452
Yeah.

668
00:30:10,476 --> 00:30:12,537
So, there's a lot of
similarities between

669
00:30:12,561 --> 00:30:15,081
the serpent mound, whatever's
beneath the serpent mound,

670
00:30:15,105 --> 00:30:18,502
and this lot 15 anomaly
that we think is a pine tar kiln.

671
00:30:18,526 --> 00:30:21,379
Um, could they be
related, is a question

672
00:30:21,403 --> 00:30:22,756
we're still trying to answer,

673
00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:24,549
but it looks like
that right now.

674
00:30:24,573 --> 00:30:26,676
All right, so I got this bagged.

675
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:28,595
I'll drop it off at the lab

676
00:30:28,619 --> 00:30:31,473
- and let them take it from here.
- Yeah.

677
00:30:31,497 --> 00:30:33,433
Keep us posted and
we'll, we'll call you over

678
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:35,477
- if we find anything interesting.
- All right. Thanks, guys.

679
00:30:35,501 --> 00:30:36,978
- Thanks, Aaron.
- Yeah. Thanks.

680
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:39,856
Meanwhile, back at the swamp...

681
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,733
Let's try this little area

682
00:30:41,757 --> 00:30:43,860
and then that little
peninsula there.

683
00:30:43,884 --> 00:30:47,447
Gary drayton and peter
fornetti continue their search

684
00:30:47,471 --> 00:30:50,180
for more evidence of a
possible hidden ship's wharf.

685
00:30:55,813 --> 00:30:57,813
Yeah, we've got a signal here.

686
00:31:01,569 --> 00:31:03,318
Should be just there, mate.

687
00:31:08,826 --> 00:31:10,826
There's a lot of wood.

688
00:31:12,955 --> 00:31:16,226
Right there.

689
00:31:16,250 --> 00:31:18,812
Yeah, that piece of
wood's interesting, isn't it?

690
00:31:18,836 --> 00:31:20,168
Yep.

691
00:31:22,965 --> 00:31:26,069
Yeah. And this...

692
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:28,697
- Is it shaped?
- That looks like it's hand-hewn.

693
00:31:28,721 --> 00:31:30,824
Look.

694
00:31:30,848 --> 00:31:33,223
Let me try and winkle it out.

695
00:31:34,685 --> 00:31:36,413
- What is that?
- There's another one.

696
00:31:36,437 --> 00:31:37,747
There's another one. Yeah,

697
00:31:37,771 --> 00:31:39,730
we got something
going on here, mate.

698
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:43,378
The heck is this?

699
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:45,881
This is all laid on top
of one... And that is cut.

700
00:31:45,905 --> 00:31:48,758
- Yeah.
- Look, that was notched out

701
00:31:48,782 --> 00:31:51,261
for that to fit on the top.

702
00:31:51,285 --> 00:31:55,432
We may have discovered
the top of a shaft, Pete.

703
00:31:55,456 --> 00:31:56,747
Wow.

704
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,939
In the southeast
corner of the swamp,

705
00:32:02,963 --> 00:32:05,400
Gary drayton and peter fornetti

706
00:32:05,424 --> 00:32:09,029
have just made what
could be a major discovery.

707
00:32:09,053 --> 00:32:12,282
Look at that. There's
even more going on here.

708
00:32:12,306 --> 00:32:14,409
Definite crossed timbers.

709
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:16,578
What a day, mate.

710
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:18,955
Anytime you discover
something new

711
00:32:18,979 --> 00:32:21,271
on oak island is a good day.

712
00:32:23,108 --> 00:32:24,878
I believe we've
got to call laird.

713
00:32:24,902 --> 00:32:27,611
- Okay.
- Maybe he might want us to stand down.

714
00:32:31,659 --> 00:32:32,719
Hey, laird.

715
00:32:32,743 --> 00:32:34,804
Good, mate.

716
00:32:34,828 --> 00:32:37,390
Pete and I are on the
edge of the swamp,

717
00:32:37,414 --> 00:32:40,101
and we've stopped to dig

718
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,561
a piece of iron,

719
00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:44,189
and we've discovered some kind

720
00:32:44,213 --> 00:32:47,067
of wooden structure, feature.

721
00:32:47,091 --> 00:32:48,693
We don't know what it is,

722
00:32:48,717 --> 00:32:50,779
so we're hoping you can
come over here, mate,

723
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:51,969
and check it out.

724
00:32:53,013 --> 00:32:54,699
- Okay, mate.
- All right.

725
00:32:54,723 --> 00:32:57,369
I don't think it's a bad
idea to call my uncle

726
00:32:57,393 --> 00:32:59,685
- and have him take a look.
- Yeah, rick would love this.

727
00:33:00,813 --> 00:33:04,000
We don't know what
these pieces of timber are,

728
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:07,504
but hey, we may have
discovered another feature.

729
00:33:07,528 --> 00:33:09,547
But more importantly,

730
00:33:09,571 --> 00:33:13,677
this new feature is not too
far away from the money pit.

731
00:33:13,701 --> 00:33:15,325
Perhaps they're both connected.

732
00:33:16,412 --> 00:33:18,264
Laird's here.

733
00:33:18,288 --> 00:33:20,497
Okay, good. Hey, guys.

734
00:33:21,583 --> 00:33:22,833
What do you think?

735
00:33:25,421 --> 00:33:28,005
I mean, it looks like
a slipway, doesn't it?

736
00:33:29,299 --> 00:33:31,361
- I mean, that's a post.
- Yeah.

737
00:33:31,385 --> 00:33:32,862
We never thought about that.

738
00:33:32,886 --> 00:33:35,470
We was thinking shaft
when we first saw it.

739
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:38,994
But you are right, that
does look like a slipway.

740
00:33:39,018 --> 00:33:40,120
Yeah.

741
00:33:40,144 --> 00:33:42,747
A possible slipway

742
00:33:42,771 --> 00:33:45,647
or ship's wharf protruding
from the swamp?

743
00:33:46,859 --> 00:33:50,130
Could Gary and peter have
found the first visual evidence

744
00:33:50,154 --> 00:33:53,174
of the stone feature that
rick lagina and dr. Spooner

745
00:33:53,198 --> 00:33:56,511
identified in the
swamp two weeks ago?

746
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:58,680
What do you got?

747
00:33:58,704 --> 00:34:00,598
What happened here,

748
00:34:00,622 --> 00:34:02,308
we got a couple of iron hits.

749
00:34:02,332 --> 00:34:05,812
And as we dug down, we
started seeing these timbers.

750
00:34:05,836 --> 00:34:08,398
And look, and
they're notched here.

751
00:34:08,422 --> 00:34:11,067
Yeah. And the...
There's iron in here.

752
00:34:11,091 --> 00:34:13,820
There's an iron fastener
here, and there's one here.

753
00:34:13,844 --> 00:34:17,615
And at first, we were thinking
it was the top of a shaft,

754
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,451
but laird... Well, you've seen

755
00:34:19,475 --> 00:34:22,245
this type of thing
before in smith's cove.

756
00:34:22,269 --> 00:34:24,728
- Yeah, the slipway.
- Yeah, slipway.

757
00:34:28,442 --> 00:34:30,420
That is.

758
00:34:30,444 --> 00:34:32,255
This is cut in.

759
00:34:32,279 --> 00:34:34,215
- Yeah. -Yeah.
- Yeah, that's cut, too, there.

760
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,009
- That's a little strange.
- It's short.

761
00:34:36,033 --> 00:34:37,594
It's almost a brace.

762
00:34:37,618 --> 00:34:39,804
You know, their activities,

763
00:34:39,828 --> 00:34:41,097
their metal detecting activities

764
00:34:41,121 --> 00:34:43,433
in the eastern
corner of the swamp,

765
00:34:43,457 --> 00:34:45,685
you know, that's
our area of focus.

766
00:34:45,709 --> 00:34:48,354
When I laid eyes on it,

767
00:34:48,378 --> 00:34:52,317
you know, they used
the verbiage "slipway."

768
00:34:52,341 --> 00:34:55,487
Does it look like a slipway?

769
00:34:55,511 --> 00:34:59,074
Yeah, it does. It has two
sides and crossmembers and...

770
00:34:59,098 --> 00:35:01,431
This feature is
certainly interesting.

771
00:35:02,643 --> 00:35:06,331
I mean, this has grown
above and below the structure,

772
00:35:06,355 --> 00:35:08,750
so there's some age to it.

773
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,335
If you've got a notch here

774
00:35:10,359 --> 00:35:14,380
and you've got a notch
here but it's cut here,

775
00:35:14,404 --> 00:35:17,114
- it's way out there, then.
- Yeah.

776
00:35:18,534 --> 00:35:21,179
It is a significant discovery,

777
00:35:21,203 --> 00:35:22,472
- is it not, Gary?
- Yeah, it is.

778
00:35:22,496 --> 00:35:25,266
Is there metal in that,
too? The crosspiece?

779
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:26,684
- Where is that?
- Yeah, where is the metal?

780
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:28,436
- Um...
- Here?

781
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:30,146
Yeah, it's... Actually,
I'll show you.

782
00:35:30,170 --> 00:35:32,754
So, that would be a brace.

783
00:35:34,883 --> 00:35:36,967
Yeah.

784
00:35:39,763 --> 00:35:43,701
And the iron fasteners would
tell the story of this better.

785
00:35:43,725 --> 00:35:45,203
Definitely date it.

786
00:35:45,227 --> 00:35:46,704
Well, that's cool.

787
00:35:46,728 --> 00:35:48,665
I mean, I think we
should uncover it.

788
00:35:48,689 --> 00:35:50,166
- Yeah.
- Don't you agree, laird?

789
00:35:50,190 --> 00:35:51,815
I agree, definitely. Yeah.

790
00:35:53,443 --> 00:35:54,712
This should be a
little treasure trove

791
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:55,819
- in this area.
- Yeah.

792
00:35:56,947 --> 00:35:58,883
Pat on the back,
mate. You dug it out.

793
00:35:58,907 --> 00:36:01,010
Let's see what my dad thinks

794
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:02,887
- if I can get a hold of him.
- Sure.

795
00:36:04,246 --> 00:36:06,349
- Hello?
- Hey, you're on speaker,

796
00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:09,519
and, I got rick,
peter, Gary, laird.

797
00:36:09,543 --> 00:36:13,898
We're standing in the
southeast corner of the swamp,

798
00:36:13,922 --> 00:36:17,674
and we're all looking down
on what we think is a slipway.

799
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:22,073
- Yep.
- This is the edge

800
00:36:22,097 --> 00:36:24,242
of the swamp where
boats would have come

801
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,744
and probably docked.

802
00:36:26,768 --> 00:36:29,956
And this is the type of slipway,

803
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:32,167
just a small one like
this, that you would need

804
00:36:32,191 --> 00:36:35,192
to take small
cargo up on the hill.

805
00:36:37,571 --> 00:36:40,175
This looks like an area
where boats would pull in

806
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:43,261
and pull something
up this slipway.

807
00:36:43,285 --> 00:36:44,868
I'm hoping treasure.

808
00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:52,979
Well, we'll keep
looking at it, and we'll...

809
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,336
Keep you posted.

810
00:36:57,090 --> 00:36:58,860
- Will do.
- That's what we're hoping for.

811
00:36:58,884 --> 00:37:01,112
- Yep. See you.
- No problem, see you.

812
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:06,826
It's a significant find.

813
00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:09,787
Gary and peter
were metal detecting

814
00:37:09,811 --> 00:37:11,706
at the eastern
side of the swamp.

815
00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:14,542
I don't know if everybody knows,
but there was a structure found,

816
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:17,295
and, not an insignificant one.

817
00:37:17,319 --> 00:37:20,048
Following their discovery
of a possible slipway

818
00:37:20,072 --> 00:37:22,342
for docking ships near
the southeastern corner

819
00:37:22,366 --> 00:37:24,928
of the oak island swamp,

820
00:37:24,952 --> 00:37:27,889
rick lagina, along
with his brother Marty

821
00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:30,767
and members of their team,
have gathered to discuss

822
00:37:30,791 --> 00:37:32,644
just what this could
mean and how best

823
00:37:32,668 --> 00:37:34,812
to further investigate it.

824
00:37:34,836 --> 00:37:38,399
When rick and I got there,
you guys had exposed

825
00:37:38,423 --> 00:37:39,859
pretty much just
one corner of it.

826
00:37:39,883 --> 00:37:41,319
But it was obviously, you know,

827
00:37:41,343 --> 00:37:43,863
two fence post-sized
pieces of wood, no bark,

828
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:45,573
pinned together at right angles

829
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:48,243
and then another one
that had been saw-cut

830
00:37:48,267 --> 00:37:50,119
attached at about
a 45-degree angle

831
00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:51,579
going off into the
bank, so, I mean,

832
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,414
it was obviously a structure.

833
00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:55,959
It was remarkable. I think that

834
00:37:55,983 --> 00:37:59,379
really made the structure
stand out, if you will,

835
00:37:59,403 --> 00:38:03,675
because I think everybody
thought possible slipway.

836
00:38:03,699 --> 00:38:05,969
So, we haven't, obviously,
been able to test it yet,

837
00:38:05,993 --> 00:38:08,429
but it sure would be
nice in the moment

838
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,431
- to understand the age of that.
- Okay.

839
00:38:10,455 --> 00:38:11,975
So, what does
this all mean, guys?

840
00:38:11,999 --> 00:38:13,559
What does this all mean?

841
00:38:13,583 --> 00:38:15,687
I mean, laird, you're
the archaeologist.

842
00:38:15,711 --> 00:38:18,231
What happened?

843
00:38:18,255 --> 00:38:19,482
The structure is intriguing.

844
00:38:19,506 --> 00:38:21,317
I think checking the nails

845
00:38:21,341 --> 00:38:23,319
- in the structure will help.
- Exactly.

846
00:38:23,343 --> 00:38:27,907
There are at least two
spikes in the feature itself,

847
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:31,953
and when you wash it off
and you feel the top of it,

848
00:38:31,977 --> 00:38:35,603
I thought the head was unique.

849
00:38:36,773 --> 00:38:38,084
I want to get to
the bottom of it.

850
00:38:38,108 --> 00:38:39,544
I think we should keep digging.

851
00:38:39,568 --> 00:38:41,546
And I can't wait to
see the structure.

852
00:38:41,570 --> 00:38:44,924
Well, the implications
of finding this, right?

853
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:49,637
Currently, our
idea of sheet pile

854
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:51,889
is to put sheet on
both sides of the road.

855
00:38:51,913 --> 00:38:53,599
- Right.
- Well, what if there are more structures

856
00:38:53,623 --> 00:38:55,101
and we drive sheet through them,

857
00:38:55,125 --> 00:38:58,104
and then we perhaps
obliterate them?

858
00:38:58,128 --> 00:39:02,358
Do we want to revisit
our sheet pile proposal?

859
00:39:02,382 --> 00:39:05,278
Currently, the oak island team

860
00:39:05,302 --> 00:39:07,822
has enlisted Irving
equipment limited

861
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,657
to design a cofferdam

862
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:12,201
similar to the one they
installed two years ago

863
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:13,786
at smith's cove.

864
00:39:13,810 --> 00:39:16,289
Comprised of large steel sheets

865
00:39:16,313 --> 00:39:18,499
hammered deep into
the muddy ground,

866
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:21,669
the cofferdam would
create a watertight barrier

867
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:24,047
that would allow the
entire southeastern portion

868
00:39:24,071 --> 00:39:27,884
of the swamp to be
drained and excavated.

869
00:39:27,908 --> 00:39:30,636
We have these
anomalies to investigate.

870
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:33,473
As you develop the areas

871
00:39:33,497 --> 00:39:35,475
and you investigate them,

872
00:39:35,499 --> 00:39:37,393
we may say to ourselves,

873
00:39:37,417 --> 00:39:41,230
"gee, if only we had
pushed the sheet further out."

874
00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:43,900
Is that information
that's valuable

875
00:39:43,924 --> 00:39:45,902
while we wait for the sheet?

876
00:39:45,926 --> 00:39:49,405
Well, then I kind of go towards

877
00:39:49,429 --> 00:39:51,741
your "dig what we can" strategy,

878
00:39:51,765 --> 00:39:53,910
because you're gonna...
You're gonna learn something

879
00:39:53,934 --> 00:39:55,745
by the "dig what you can"
deal that might change

880
00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:58,122
where you put the sheet. I
mean, that's almost for sure.

881
00:39:58,146 --> 00:40:01,000
Um, something will
pop up, making you think

882
00:40:01,024 --> 00:40:04,170
it should go in a slightly
different place, probably.

883
00:40:04,194 --> 00:40:05,171
So, we would have

884
00:40:05,195 --> 00:40:06,547
that data.

885
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:07,757
That sounds appropriate.

886
00:40:07,781 --> 00:40:09,258
- Yeah. - Yep.
- Yep.

887
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:10,510
Guys, this is great.

888
00:40:10,534 --> 00:40:12,303
You guys all know
I've always said

889
00:40:12,327 --> 00:40:14,263
there are answers in
that swamp. We need

890
00:40:15,831 --> 00:40:17,350
I'll sleep well tonight

891
00:40:17,374 --> 00:40:19,602
- with that statement.
- Yeah, I know you will.

892
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:21,354
I know, I know.

893
00:40:21,378 --> 00:40:23,940
Somebody ask me what time it is.

894
00:40:23,964 --> 00:40:25,441
What time is it, Marty?

895
00:40:25,465 --> 00:40:26,609
It's time to dig!

896
00:40:26,633 --> 00:40:28,027
That's what time it is.

897
00:40:28,051 --> 00:40:29,259
Less talking. Let's go dig.

898
00:40:31,012 --> 00:40:32,824
We've all got a lot
of work to do, so...

899
00:40:32,848 --> 00:40:35,410
- Let's get after it.
- Until next time.

900
00:40:35,434 --> 00:40:38,955
- Thank you, all.
- See you guys.

901
00:40:38,979 --> 00:40:42,542
After a week that saw
both disappointing setbacks

902
00:40:42,566 --> 00:40:44,794
and historic breakthroughs,

903
00:40:44,818 --> 00:40:49,298
the laginas and their team
continue to validate the faith

904
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:51,175
that so many before
them have brought

905
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:55,972
to the 225-year-old hunt
for treasure on oak island.

906
00:40:55,996 --> 00:40:58,182
It is no longer a question

907
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,892
that something of
great consequence

908
00:40:59,916 --> 00:41:02,228
took place here long ago

909
00:41:02,252 --> 00:41:06,983
but a question of what was
so important and so valuable

910
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:10,778
that such efforts were
taken in order to hide it.

911
00:41:10,802 --> 00:41:14,198
Will rick, Marty, Craig

912
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:17,452
and their team defy
what has, so far,

913
00:41:17,476 --> 00:41:21,038
safeguarded the island's secrets
for more than two centuries?

914
00:41:21,062 --> 00:41:23,583
Perhaps only time

915
00:41:23,607 --> 00:41:26,441
and fate will tell.

916
00:41:30,155 --> 00:41:33,176
Next time on the
curse of oak island...

917
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,510
This is the day.

918
00:41:34,534 --> 00:41:36,846
- Swamp dig, day one.
- Whoa!

919
00:41:36,870 --> 00:41:38,973
- See the woody material there?
- That's the structure.

920
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:41,517
- This is old.
- 1700s, baby.

921
00:41:41,541 --> 00:41:43,769
You got to be kidding me, mate!

922
00:41:43,793 --> 00:41:45,605
- Does that have a hole in it?
- Yeah, it has.

923
00:41:45,629 --> 00:41:49,192
You'd have something like
that if you were digging shafts.

924
00:41:49,216 --> 00:41:52,695
That sample came
out to be 1320 to 1440.

925
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,530
- Wow.
- What?

926
00:41:54,554 --> 00:41:56,365
- There is a date that it does match.
- Zena's map.

927
00:41:56,389 --> 00:41:58,493
- Yes. The knights Templar.
- Holy smokes.

928
00:41:58,517 --> 00:42:01,142
