1
00:00:01,894 --> 00:00:04,394
Matty: A massive stone road
found buried
2
00:00:04,413 --> 00:00:06,005
In the triangle-shaped swamp.
3
00:00:06,156 --> 00:00:08,340
-Wow.
-It's quite impressive.
4
00:00:08,567 --> 00:00:10,734
It looks like
a piece of finished wood.
5
00:00:10,827 --> 00:00:12,678
Matty:
A piece of ship's railing dating
6
00:00:12,905 --> 00:00:15,072
Back to as early
as the seventh century.
7
00:00:15,165 --> 00:00:17,516
-Top-pocket find.
-(laughter)
8
00:00:17,743 --> 00:00:20,744
Marty:
It might lead us to treasure.
Wow.
9
00:00:20,763 --> 00:00:23,671
Matty:
And for the first time
in the history
10
00:00:23,766 --> 00:00:25,006
Of the oak island
treasure hunt...
11
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:27,693
Down in those holes,
there is silver.
12
00:00:29,255 --> 00:00:33,032
...Definitive proof of treasure
found deep in the money pit.
13
00:00:33,259 --> 00:00:35,259
Is it a handful of silver,
or is it a gerhardt dump truck
14
00:00:35,277 --> 00:00:36,518
Load of silver?
15
00:00:36,612 --> 00:00:38,520
It's a gerhardt dump truck.
16
00:00:38,614 --> 00:00:40,447
-Aw, baby!
-Jack: Oh, no way!
17
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:43,876
Season eight of the curse
of oak island showed
18
00:00:44,027 --> 00:00:47,604
Unprecedented progress by rick,
marty, craig and the team
19
00:00:47,623 --> 00:00:50,532
In their quest to solve
the oak island treasure mystery.
20
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:51,792
Gary:
Wow.
21
00:00:51,886 --> 00:00:53,719
That's bloody brilliant.
22
00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:56,013
It might be actually gold.
23
00:00:57,299 --> 00:00:58,965
Very interesting.
24
00:00:59,118 --> 00:01:01,376
Oh, wow, look at that, mate.
25
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:05,230
This is
an old lead cloth bag seal.
26
00:01:07,793 --> 00:01:09,476
Matty:
In fact,
the fellowship of the dig
27
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:11,978
Unearthed 2,000 discoveries,
28
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:14,865
Making it impossible
to include them all in the show.
29
00:01:16,802 --> 00:01:19,745
So tonight, we're opening up
the vault--
30
00:01:19,972 --> 00:01:22,639
So to speak-- to give all you
faithful acorns out there
31
00:01:22,732 --> 00:01:25,417
An exclusive look
at more of the key clues
32
00:01:25,644 --> 00:01:29,313
And valuable objects that
suggest the ultimate questions
33
00:01:29,406 --> 00:01:32,332
Of who, what, where,
when, why and how
34
00:01:32,426 --> 00:01:35,094
Are closer than ever
to finally being answered.
35
00:01:35,321 --> 00:01:38,672
Get ready as we count down
the top ten season eight finds
36
00:01:38,824 --> 00:01:41,749
You never saw... Until now!
37
00:01:41,769 --> 00:01:43,727
♪ ♪
38
00:02:00,937 --> 00:02:02,937
Matty:
Now, I know
what you're thinking.
39
00:02:02,957 --> 00:02:05,273
With so many discoveries
made on oak island
40
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:06,516
During season eight,
41
00:02:06,535 --> 00:02:09,519
How could we possibly feature
ten tonight
42
00:02:09,538 --> 00:02:11,279
That weren't on the show?
43
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:13,190
Well, to be honest,
because there were so many
44
00:02:13,208 --> 00:02:15,134
Compelling ones, it wasn't easy.
45
00:02:15,361 --> 00:02:16,710
We started with some help
from rick, marty,
46
00:02:16,862 --> 00:02:18,362
Craig and the fellowship.
47
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:20,955
We then drilled down
with our editors and producers,
48
00:02:21,049 --> 00:02:23,383
Who scoured through nearly 7,000
49
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:26,720
Hours of footage to put together
this incredible list.
50
00:02:26,814 --> 00:02:29,648
Each one is an essential piece
of the oak island puzzle
51
00:02:29,799 --> 00:02:32,133
That proves something
of extraordinary importance
52
00:02:32,227 --> 00:02:34,802
Happened here centuries ago.
53
00:02:34,822 --> 00:02:36,989
So... Let's get started.
54
00:02:38,901 --> 00:02:41,660
Number ten: The iron survey pin.
55
00:02:42,888 --> 00:02:44,145
Hey, craig!
56
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:46,165
Look at the road we found.
57
00:02:46,316 --> 00:02:48,408
-Craig: It is amazing.
-Jack: There's no mistaking,
58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,668
This is a cobbled road.
59
00:02:49,819 --> 00:02:51,486
There is no doubt.
60
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:53,897
I mean, this is obvious.
61
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:55,674
Matty:
Season eight saw rick, marty
62
00:02:55,825 --> 00:02:58,084
And the team unearth
one of the biggest discoveries
63
00:02:58,237 --> 00:02:59,827
Ever made on oak island:
64
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:02,514
A massive
stone road believed
65
00:03:02,741 --> 00:03:04,574
To have once been part
of a ship's wharf.
66
00:03:04,593 --> 00:03:06,668
I'd like to concentrate
67
00:03:06,762 --> 00:03:08,929
On where the road does go,
68
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:10,747
Whether it comes upland.
69
00:03:10,766 --> 00:03:13,250
Wherever it goes, that's
where we need to concentrate on.
70
00:03:13,268 --> 00:03:14,751
-I agree.
-Yeah.
71
00:03:14,844 --> 00:03:16,603
Matty:
But, as with most finds
72
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:17,845
On oak island,
73
00:03:17,940 --> 00:03:20,032
It lead to even more questions.
74
00:03:20,183 --> 00:03:23,093
Marty: We clearly have to follow
the stone pathway all the way
75
00:03:23,111 --> 00:03:24,703
'cause it's enigmatic,
76
00:03:24,854 --> 00:03:26,930
It's very old.
77
00:03:27,023 --> 00:03:29,374
So what's it there for,
you know?
78
00:03:29,601 --> 00:03:31,043
How does it fit in
with the treasure stories?
79
00:03:31,194 --> 00:03:33,270
So we have to find it, we have
to follow it to where it leads.
80
00:03:33,363 --> 00:03:35,622
Matty:
So rick sent his nephew
81
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:39,109
David fornetti and metal
detection expert gary drayton
82
00:03:39,127 --> 00:03:42,203
On a mission to see what else
could be found in the area
83
00:03:42,223 --> 00:03:45,540
To help explain
who may have built it and how.
84
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:46,874
(metal detector beeping)
85
00:03:46,969 --> 00:03:48,894
That's a much bigger signal.
86
00:03:49,972 --> 00:03:51,455
Ooh.
87
00:03:51,548 --> 00:03:53,065
Fortunately, sounds like iron,
88
00:03:53,216 --> 00:03:55,141
-But could be--
-this right here?
89
00:03:55,294 --> 00:03:56,960
Yep.
90
00:03:57,053 --> 00:03:59,238
Let's hope it's
an old piece of iron.
91
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:04,910
Double-check.
92
00:04:05,137 --> 00:04:07,079
(beeping)
93
00:04:12,828 --> 00:04:14,811
Ooh, wow.
94
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,757
(chuckles)
that's like an old survey pin.
95
00:04:18,984 --> 00:04:20,667
-We're kind of
in the middle of nowhere.
-Yeah.
96
00:04:20,819 --> 00:04:22,577
And so, what-what is
that doing out here?
97
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:25,655
Yeah, and if you see the head
there, it's been mushroomed.
98
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:28,916
But it was hammered in
a few times.
99
00:04:29,011 --> 00:04:31,328
Yeah, someone was out here
doing some
100
00:04:31,346 --> 00:04:33,772
Surveying a heck
of a long time ago.
101
00:04:33,923 --> 00:04:35,423
I love it.
102
00:04:35,442 --> 00:04:38,168
-Sign of good things to come.
-All right.
103
00:04:38,261 --> 00:04:39,927
So what would that
have been used for?
104
00:04:40,022 --> 00:04:42,698
Exactly,
that's a great point, david.
105
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:46,860
Why would someone have this
in this area?
106
00:04:47,012 --> 00:04:48,620
What were they surveying?
107
00:04:49,698 --> 00:04:51,606
Matty:
It was a bit early in the season
108
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:52,866
For the guys to make
an educated guess
109
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,444
On what the survey pin
may have been used for...
110
00:04:56,538 --> 00:04:58,630
Gary:
Rick, check this out!
111
00:04:58,857 --> 00:05:01,207
...But several weeks
later, after unearthing
112
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,694
A cobblestone pathway
in the swamp leading away
113
00:05:04,713 --> 00:05:07,047
From the stone wharf,
the team found
114
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,049
A mason's t-square...
115
00:05:09,201 --> 00:05:10,700
A wooden surveyor's tool
116
00:05:10,794 --> 00:05:14,554
That was dated
to as early as 1632.
117
00:05:14,706 --> 00:05:17,390
Not only was there a lot
of surveying going on, but there
118
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:20,485
Was clearly a lot of manual
labor to go along with it.
119
00:05:20,712 --> 00:05:24,156
And that takes us back
to that very same day
120
00:05:24,307 --> 00:05:26,974
Where gary and david
made the next top find
121
00:05:26,994 --> 00:05:29,977
That you didn't get
to see until now.
122
00:05:30,072 --> 00:05:33,165
Number nine: The lot 15 hammer.
123
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,726
Got a hit there, mate!
124
00:05:36,745 --> 00:05:39,671
Matty:
Just moments after
discovering the iron survey pin,
125
00:05:39,823 --> 00:05:43,991
Gary and david found
another potentially vital clue
126
00:05:44,011 --> 00:05:48,180
That might help answer how
the wharf and pathway were made.
127
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,257
Gary:
Is that it?
128
00:05:51,352 --> 00:05:53,426
-It is!
-Whoa!
129
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,595
Gary:
It's another tool,
by the look of it.
130
00:05:55,747 --> 00:05:57,189
Let's see what we got here.
131
00:05:58,174 --> 00:06:00,083
That looks like a tool to me.
132
00:06:00,102 --> 00:06:03,770
And I have no idea
what kind of tool.
133
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:08,349
Let me just scrape a little
piece of the gunk off it.
134
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:10,202
I don't want to scratch it up.
135
00:06:12,021 --> 00:06:14,280
I don't know
if that's dirt or not.
136
00:06:14,433 --> 00:06:16,933
The way this is shaped,
137
00:06:17,026 --> 00:06:20,712
That looks like
that is the shaft.
138
00:06:20,864 --> 00:06:24,049
So, it would have been in wood.
Probably a wooden handle.
139
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,443
-Kind of crudish.
-Right.
140
00:06:26,536 --> 00:06:28,294
Feel how heavy it is
for the size.
141
00:06:28,447 --> 00:06:30,555
-Wow.
-Which would lead
142
00:06:30,782 --> 00:06:33,633
You to believe that
this is an older tool.
143
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:36,119
Yeah, it's hard to put a date
on something like this.
144
00:06:36,212 --> 00:06:38,563
And it's in fairly
good condition.
145
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:41,549
Whenever you pick up iron
and it's small
146
00:06:41,568 --> 00:06:43,068
And it's really, really heavy,
147
00:06:43,219 --> 00:06:47,221
That means
it's normally pre-1840s.
148
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:49,966
You know what,
my first thought was hammer.
149
00:06:49,985 --> 00:06:52,802
I wonder if it was used
150
00:06:52,821 --> 00:06:54,913
Like some kind of hammer.
151
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:57,991
Matty:
Further analysis
by experts corroborated
152
00:06:58,085 --> 00:07:01,068
Gary and david's theory that
the object was the remains
153
00:07:01,163 --> 00:07:03,738
Of a possibly ancient hammer.
154
00:07:03,832 --> 00:07:06,666
Could it have been used
to drive the iron ringbolts
155
00:07:06,818 --> 00:07:08,501
Into the ground
that were also found
156
00:07:08,654 --> 00:07:11,171
During season eight
along the stone pathway
157
00:07:11,323 --> 00:07:13,432
In and around the swamp?
158
00:07:13,659 --> 00:07:15,675
Ringbolts believed
to have been utilized
159
00:07:15,827 --> 00:07:18,495
For hauling cargo away from
the swamp, and to somewhere
160
00:07:18,513 --> 00:07:20,254
In the uplands of oak island?
161
00:07:20,348 --> 00:07:22,590
Something was going on here.
162
00:07:22,684 --> 00:07:24,834
A trail of some rather large
163
00:07:24,928 --> 00:07:26,853
Activity moving things around.
164
00:07:27,005 --> 00:07:28,113
And in particular,
165
00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:29,839
Look at the location
where this is occurring.
166
00:07:29,858 --> 00:07:33,359
This is occurring from the paved
area in the swamp, going up
167
00:07:33,454 --> 00:07:37,847
Towards lot 15 and/or maybe,
generally, the money pit.
168
00:07:37,866 --> 00:07:39,365
You don't farm the swamp,
you don't farm
169
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:40,959
The side of that steep hill.
170
00:07:41,186 --> 00:07:43,128
So what's going on
in the late 1600s,
171
00:07:43,355 --> 00:07:45,112
Early 1700s?
172
00:07:45,207 --> 00:07:48,133
Just goes to show, you know,
173
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,471
All of these artifacts
were hidden for so long.
174
00:07:52,622 --> 00:07:56,382
It gives us promise that
underneath all of these piles
175
00:07:56,535 --> 00:07:59,627
Behind us,
there could be more artifacts.
176
00:07:59,721 --> 00:08:02,296
-It's another great find.
-It really is.
177
00:08:02,316 --> 00:08:04,374
Matty:
It was a great find.
178
00:08:04,467 --> 00:08:07,819
And another potentially vital
piece of the oak island puzzle.
179
00:08:07,971 --> 00:08:12,657
In fact, just like the mason's
t-square and the ringbolts,
180
00:08:12,809 --> 00:08:15,994
The surveyor's pin
and the hammer may all have been
181
00:08:16,221 --> 00:08:19,647
Used together in order to design
the stone pathway system
182
00:08:19,741 --> 00:08:21,558
That might soon lead the team
183
00:08:21,576 --> 00:08:24,169
To a vast cache
of buried treasure.
184
00:08:29,251 --> 00:08:30,400
Matty:
During season eight,
185
00:08:30,418 --> 00:08:33,345
Rick, marty, craig
and the team conducted
186
00:08:33,496 --> 00:08:36,256
More archaeological search
operations across oak island
187
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:39,425
Than ever before in order to
reveal more about the origins
188
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,670
Of the treasure mystery
and the key historical figures
189
00:08:42,689 --> 00:08:44,022
Who might have
played a role in it.
190
00:08:44,173 --> 00:08:46,507
That includes this property,
once owned
191
00:08:46,527 --> 00:08:50,270
By late 18th-century oak island
resident samuel ball.
192
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:53,773
Now, the ball foundation
has always been intriguing
193
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,276
To the brothers-- not just
because it's one of the few
194
00:08:56,428 --> 00:09:00,372
Stone structures still partially
intact on the island today,
195
00:09:00,523 --> 00:09:04,434
But also because it was owned
by a man who came to oak island
196
00:09:04,527 --> 00:09:06,936
As a humble
former american slave
197
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:09,214
And cabbage farmer in 1785,
198
00:09:09,365 --> 00:09:12,275
Only to become one
of the wealthiest landowners
199
00:09:12,368 --> 00:09:15,295
In nova scotia
by the early 1800s.
200
00:09:15,389 --> 00:09:18,873
Many have speculated that
he may have found something
201
00:09:18,967 --> 00:09:20,559
Of great value
while living here,
202
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:23,303
Or was associated
with someone
203
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:25,471
Who made a treasure deposit.
204
00:09:25,624 --> 00:09:27,974
I feel something there.
205
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,794
Oh! Yeah, that's nice.
206
00:09:30,812 --> 00:09:33,797
Matty:
Key season eight finds on
the former ball property
207
00:09:33,815 --> 00:09:35,815
Included a patent plate
208
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:39,060
That may have come from an
expensively decorated firearm...
209
00:09:39,154 --> 00:09:40,579
Alex:
Hey, look at this.
210
00:09:42,249 --> 00:09:44,140
Laird:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
211
00:09:45,234 --> 00:09:46,918
Matty: ...As well as an
early 19th-century
212
00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:49,754
British naval
officer's button
213
00:09:49,981 --> 00:09:52,090
That represented evidence
that samuel ball
214
00:09:52,317 --> 00:09:55,242
Was in league with
some important people.
215
00:09:55,337 --> 00:09:57,337
Rick:
The front is spectacular.
216
00:09:57,489 --> 00:09:59,005
Yeah, I mean,
those anchors are amazing.
217
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:00,581
I think that is
218
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:03,435
-Gold or gilding, right there.
-Laird: Yeah, I think so.
219
00:10:06,848 --> 00:10:08,998
Matty:
That find led the team
to investigate
220
00:10:09,092 --> 00:10:10,942
Two wharfs
bordering the coastline
221
00:10:11,169 --> 00:10:14,112
On lot 25 where samuel ball
built his home.
222
00:10:21,346 --> 00:10:24,013
One of those wharfs appeared
to be the kind a cabbage farmer
223
00:10:24,032 --> 00:10:26,249
Might use for shipping
his goods to the mainland.
224
00:10:28,111 --> 00:10:29,794
You think
you did find the wharf?
225
00:10:30,021 --> 00:10:30,920
Over.
226
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,544
Matty:
But the site of the second wharf
they discovered was massive,
227
00:10:38,697 --> 00:10:42,289
Suggesting that an operation
much larger than farming
228
00:10:42,384 --> 00:10:44,884
Took place
on the property long ago.
229
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,536
We were estimating it
230
00:10:46,629 --> 00:10:49,205
To be 75 to 100 feet from shore.
231
00:10:49,298 --> 00:10:51,391
-Mm-hmm.
-So that's a huge, huge wharf.
232
00:10:51,543 --> 00:10:53,893
-Yeah.
-That's good.
233
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,655
How could he have built that?
234
00:10:56,806 --> 00:10:59,065
-It fits the story
of a big excavation.
-Mm-hmm.
235
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,401
Because of the amount of back
and forth you'd have to do.
236
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,477
-Marty: Yeah.
-If that was their purpose,
237
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:05,479
It would have been to support
238
00:11:05,573 --> 00:11:07,648
The hiding of the treasure.
239
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,559
Right.
240
00:11:10,578 --> 00:11:13,229
Matty:
Finding a massive,
100-foot-long,
241
00:11:13,322 --> 00:11:16,082
16-foot-wide wharf
on the property
242
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:19,068
Left the team scratching
their heads wondering
243
00:11:19,087 --> 00:11:21,754
If it was the smoking gun
tying samuel ball
244
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,015
To the oak island treasure.
245
00:11:24,242 --> 00:11:27,352
But it certainly gave
some possible context
246
00:11:27,579 --> 00:11:31,264
To another top find made on
the property earlier in the year
247
00:11:31,416 --> 00:11:33,191
That you never got to see...
248
00:11:33,342 --> 00:11:35,342
Until right now.
249
00:11:35,437 --> 00:11:38,345
Number eight: The barrel hoop.
250
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:40,532
Okay, mate. This is
a good little clearing
251
00:11:40,683 --> 00:11:42,516
-To start.
-Yeah, okay.
252
00:11:42,536 --> 00:11:46,279
Matty: Using his minelab
gpx 5000 detector,
253
00:11:46,431 --> 00:11:48,856
Which could scan
as deep as six feet,
254
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:50,616
Made treasure hunting
on samuel ball's
255
00:11:50,769 --> 00:11:52,952
Property like shooting fish
in a...
256
00:11:53,104 --> 00:11:55,029
Well, you'll see.
257
00:11:55,123 --> 00:11:57,215
Yeah, and we got
a good target here.
258
00:11:59,778 --> 00:12:01,110
When I say "good target,"
259
00:12:01,204 --> 00:12:02,946
-I'm not sure what it is, but...
-(laughs)
260
00:12:02,964 --> 00:12:06,057
...There's a very strong
signal response there, mate.
261
00:12:06,209 --> 00:12:08,393
-Let's go for this one.
-Okay.
262
00:12:08,544 --> 00:12:10,729
Gary:
Seems to be right there.
It's gonna be tough digging.
263
00:12:29,140 --> 00:12:30,473
Right there.
264
00:12:30,492 --> 00:12:32,333
-Can I have that trowel, mate?
-Sure.
265
00:12:38,817 --> 00:12:40,675
Ooh.
266
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,670
(beeping, blipping)
267
00:12:44,765 --> 00:12:46,413
Yeah, it looks like...
268
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,659
-Strapping of some kind.
-Yeah, sort of, yeah.
269
00:12:49,677 --> 00:12:52,937
Gary:
The only metal straps
I know are-are barrel loops.
270
00:12:53,164 --> 00:12:56,332
-Okay.
-But we did have
that other target just there.
271
00:12:56,351 --> 00:12:59,018
Yeah, this is more
than likely just the same.
272
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,278
Yeah.
273
00:13:01,931 --> 00:13:03,189
-Another piece.
-Yeah.
274
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:06,600
-That's right.
-Yeah, now we are leading
towards strap.
275
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:09,621
-Strap barrel, yeah?
-Yeah.
276
00:13:09,848 --> 00:13:13,291
And barrel hoops by definition
were pliable.
277
00:13:13,442 --> 00:13:16,294
Would've been thin metal
like this.
278
00:13:16,445 --> 00:13:18,538
-Yeah.
-And you would have-- yeah.
279
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:20,189
Michael j.:
Yeah.
280
00:13:20,283 --> 00:13:21,800
-There's more.
-Oh, there's more of it.
281
00:13:23,619 --> 00:13:24,636
-It's right there.
-Gary: Yeah.
282
00:13:24,787 --> 00:13:26,212
Look at that.
283
00:13:26,364 --> 00:13:27,864
Wow!
284
00:13:27,882 --> 00:13:30,867
-This is cool.
-Yeah.
285
00:13:30,885 --> 00:13:34,220
Could be a thin little barrel
loop, put 'em around a barrel.
286
00:13:34,372 --> 00:13:38,057
Matty:
The barrel hoop or metal strap
that would have been used
287
00:13:38,209 --> 00:13:41,894
To help seal a large cargo keg
was an incredible find
288
00:13:42,047 --> 00:13:45,231
To make on the property
of the mysterious mr. Ball.
289
00:13:45,383 --> 00:13:48,660
Because it just may have been
connected to an incredibly
290
00:13:48,887 --> 00:13:52,555
Important find made in the swamp
a couple weeks earlier.
291
00:13:52,648 --> 00:13:54,315
Hey, guys.
292
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,501
Check that out. Top of a keg.
293
00:13:56,728 --> 00:13:58,244
Ian:
Wow.
294
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:00,063
So that's a keg.
Lid to a keg?
295
00:14:00,081 --> 00:14:01,506
-Yep.
-How far down?
296
00:14:01,733 --> 00:14:03,733
Right there.
297
00:14:03,826 --> 00:14:06,402
Ian: Holy crow.
That's very important.
298
00:14:06,421 --> 00:14:08,237
Gary:
Because it wasn't just
gunpowder they put in kegs.
299
00:14:08,331 --> 00:14:10,331
It was all
treasure coins as well.
300
00:14:10,425 --> 00:14:13,667
Matty:
While investigating the massive
stone wharf feature
301
00:14:13,761 --> 00:14:15,578
In the swamp, rick lagina found
302
00:14:15,597 --> 00:14:17,914
Pieces of a wooden cargo barrel
303
00:14:17,932 --> 00:14:21,192
That was dated to
as early as the 15th century.
304
00:14:21,419 --> 00:14:24,511
Might it have been part
of a barrel that once contained
305
00:14:24,606 --> 00:14:28,199
A portion of the oak island
treasure, as gary speculated?
306
00:14:28,426 --> 00:14:32,095
If so, then perhaps he
and michael john found
307
00:14:32,113 --> 00:14:34,447
Another piece
of a similar cargo barrel
308
00:14:34,599 --> 00:14:37,858
On samuel ball's property,
making it without a doubt
309
00:14:37,952 --> 00:14:39,127
An important find.
310
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:43,364
Ah, if only we had
another clue of what exactly
311
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:45,199
It might have contained.
312
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:46,626
Get where I'm going with this?
313
00:14:46,778 --> 00:14:48,611
You guessed it--
the next
314
00:14:48,704 --> 00:14:51,723
Top never before seen find
on our list.
315
00:14:53,209 --> 00:14:56,728
Number seven:
Samuel ball's top pocket find.
316
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:58,879
-All right, next one up.
-(beeping)
317
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:01,140
Oh, I love that tone.
318
00:15:01,292 --> 00:15:03,550
Rock solid.
319
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:06,404
Matty: While metal detecting
near the ball foundation,
320
00:15:06,631 --> 00:15:09,315
Gary drayton and rick lagina
made a discovery
321
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:12,744
That could be direct evidence
of the mysterious wealth
322
00:15:12,971 --> 00:15:15,972
Samuel ball accumulated
while living on oak island.
323
00:15:16,065 --> 00:15:17,731
That is going to be
a coin, rick.
324
00:15:17,825 --> 00:15:19,158
-This one?
-Yep.
325
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:21,310
That is too good of a signal
326
00:15:21,329 --> 00:15:23,254
Not to be a coin.
327
00:15:23,481 --> 00:15:26,983
Good two-way repeatable,
that nice, high tone.
328
00:15:27,001 --> 00:15:28,334
Ooh.
329
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,428
High hopes for this one, mate.
330
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:32,672
Okay.
331
00:15:32,824 --> 00:15:33,823
(beeping, blipping)
332
00:15:33,916 --> 00:15:36,935
-Again, it's in that top clod.
-It is.
333
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:41,189
(beeping, blipping)
334
00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:45,685
Well, at least
it's not in the top.
335
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:47,761
-It's a coin!
-Oh!
336
00:15:47,855 --> 00:15:49,763
Look at that! That's a coin.
337
00:15:49,857 --> 00:15:51,174
That's a big one, as well.
338
00:15:51,192 --> 00:15:54,343
-Rick: That is.
-Oh, look at that patina, mate.
339
00:15:54,362 --> 00:15:56,603
That's brilliant.
340
00:15:56,698 --> 00:15:59,123
Well, I bet that's an oldie,
'cause that's a large coin.
341
00:15:59,350 --> 00:16:02,126
It's not milled on the edge.
Can you see milling?
342
00:16:02,353 --> 00:16:04,778
Ah, I just don't want
to mess with it too much.
343
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:06,798
Just can't tell.
344
00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:09,208
Normally, you can feel
that bumpity, bumpity, bump
345
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,136
As you go around,
but what this is,
346
00:16:12,363 --> 00:16:15,306
Is beautiful because
it's a large size coin.
347
00:16:15,533 --> 00:16:17,550
It's thick.
348
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:22,038
And it's in great condition,
so this should clean up nicely
349
00:16:22,056 --> 00:16:24,390
And I would imagine
it would have a king
350
00:16:24,542 --> 00:16:26,150
Or a queen on one side...
351
00:16:26,302 --> 00:16:28,903
And the date on the other.
352
00:16:30,473 --> 00:16:33,049
Rick:
It's in very good condition.
353
00:16:33,142 --> 00:16:34,659
Yeah, it really is,
but look at that.
354
00:16:34,886 --> 00:16:35,994
Look at that patina.
355
00:16:36,145 --> 00:16:37,403
I mean, that is beautiful.
356
00:16:37,555 --> 00:16:39,146
-And that wasn't very deep.
-No.
357
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:42,166
-Told you it was a coin, mate.
-(laughing)
358
00:16:42,393 --> 00:16:45,561
-That is fantastic.
-You did say it was a coin.
359
00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:46,912
This is a good one, mate.
360
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,414
I know what it is.
361
00:16:48,566 --> 00:16:49,915
It's a top-pocket find.
362
00:16:50,068 --> 00:16:52,493
It really is
a top-pocket find, mate.
363
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:54,904
Matty:
I know what
you must be thinking.
364
00:16:54,922 --> 00:16:57,181
How did a coin discovery
on the property
365
00:16:57,408 --> 00:17:00,426
Of samuel ball not make it
on the main show?
366
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,522
Well, you all saw how
incredible season eight was.
367
00:17:04,673 --> 00:17:07,692
When you have some 2,000 finds
to choose from,
368
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:10,844
It's only during
special occasions like this
369
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:13,990
That they can be given
their due in the spotlight.
370
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:20,279
Matty: If season eight of
the curse of oak island
371
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:21,688
Echoed anything,
372
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:23,783
It's that when it comes
to finding the treasure
373
00:17:23,877 --> 00:17:27,027
Buried here, all roads--
or should I say pathways--
374
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:29,530
Appear to lead to the money pit.
375
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:32,032
The team not only found
all that evidence of silver
376
00:17:32,052 --> 00:17:34,385
Buried down there-- which
we have more to reveal about
377
00:17:34,537 --> 00:17:37,371
As our countdown continues--but
it's also where we saw them make
378
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:40,892
A trove of other
major discoveries.
379
00:17:41,043 --> 00:17:43,786
Alex: If you see something
that doesn't belong underground,
380
00:17:43,805 --> 00:17:45,563
We should set it aside
and have somebody
381
00:17:45,714 --> 00:17:46,880
-Take a look at it anyway.
-Sure. Okay.
382
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,959
Matty:
In fact, one of those key finds
383
00:17:49,977 --> 00:17:51,569
Occurred while they were sifting
384
00:17:51,796 --> 00:17:53,571
Through spoils
that had been excavated
385
00:17:53,798 --> 00:17:57,133
From borehole 8-b
the previous year.
386
00:17:57,226 --> 00:17:59,243
Oh! What do you think this is?
387
00:18:00,914 --> 00:18:02,488
-Peter: You found it
right there?
-Yeah.
388
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,824
Yeah, what is that?
389
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:07,901
This is exactly the kind
of thing that we're looking for.
390
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:09,570
Careful, there.
391
00:18:09,664 --> 00:18:10,755
Yeah, I don't want to--
392
00:18:12,166 --> 00:18:13,257
Looks like leather almost.
393
00:18:13,409 --> 00:18:14,667
It for sure
looks like leather.
394
00:18:14,819 --> 00:18:17,153
-Dan h.: Looks like the heel
from a shoe.
-Yeah.
395
00:18:17,246 --> 00:18:18,912
Matty:
Indeed it was from the heel
396
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:20,990
Of a leather shoe, or boot,
397
00:18:21,008 --> 00:18:23,509
As confirmed by leather expert
joe landry.
398
00:18:23,661 --> 00:18:26,420
But it was when the team
had the heel tested
399
00:18:26,514 --> 00:18:29,923
That they realized what
a key clue it actually was.
400
00:18:29,943 --> 00:18:32,501
Talk to us, craig.
What do we got?
401
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,188
95% sure this is what it is.
402
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:39,617
1492 to 1662.
403
00:18:39,844 --> 00:18:41,953
1492?
404
00:18:42,104 --> 00:18:44,530
-Isn't that amazing?
-Holy crap!
405
00:18:44,624 --> 00:18:47,683
1492 to 1662.
406
00:18:47,776 --> 00:18:51,129
This is overwhelming
information.
407
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,779
Craig:
So we determined that it came
from europe,
408
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,465
Most likely France.
409
00:18:54,692 --> 00:18:57,635
How about that?
No, that is really cool.
410
00:19:00,122 --> 00:19:01,864
So, could this boot heel
411
00:19:01,957 --> 00:19:04,049
Actually help identify
the nationality
412
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:06,552
Of the people behind the mystery
and approximately
413
00:19:06,704 --> 00:19:08,646
When they made their deposit?
414
00:19:08,797 --> 00:19:11,557
Perhaps. And it also
could be connected to the next
415
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:15,227
Top finds on our list
that you didn't get to see.
416
00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:17,155
Try to look through everything.
417
00:19:18,807 --> 00:19:21,567
Number six:
The leather garments.
418
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:24,328
Just to make sure
the leather heel was no fluke,
419
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,572
The team kept searching
the spoils
420
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:30,150
Of borehole 8-b,
looking for more evidence.
421
00:19:30,244 --> 00:19:32,152
What do you think that is?
422
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:34,321
Really got your hands on it, but
423
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:36,065
I think that's leather, right?
424
00:19:36,083 --> 00:19:38,401
Yeah, that's a really nice
piece of leather.
425
00:19:38,419 --> 00:19:40,586
-Is that--? Oh, yeah, wow.
-It's a really nice
piece of leather.
426
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,904
-Yep.
-Wow.
427
00:19:41,923 --> 00:19:45,183
I'd say that's
from like a glove or a shoe.
428
00:19:45,334 --> 00:19:47,668
Looks like...
429
00:19:47,762 --> 00:19:50,930
I mean, I might be wrong,
but it looks like you can see
430
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:54,250
Where there was some sewing
right along that edge.
431
00:19:54,343 --> 00:19:56,343
Looks almost
like a finger, possibly.
432
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:58,254
Yeah, looks like
the finger of a glove.
433
00:19:58,272 --> 00:20:00,606
Yeah, there' no disputing
434
00:20:00,758 --> 00:20:02,033
-That that's leather.
-Yeah, that's leather.
435
00:20:05,112 --> 00:20:07,521
Matty: And when this, along
with a second piece of leather
436
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:09,949
Found in the spoils
of borehole rf-1,
437
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:12,526
Were taken to leather expert
joe landry for analysis...
438
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:14,528
Hi, joe.
439
00:20:14,622 --> 00:20:18,532
...The team was stunned
at what they had on their hands.
440
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:20,718
We got something we're really
interested in you having
441
00:20:20,945 --> 00:20:23,203
-A look at for us.
-Ah, I'd be delighted.
442
00:20:23,223 --> 00:20:25,297
So these are
two different samples,
443
00:20:25,450 --> 00:20:28,968
From two different caissons
that look surprisingly similar.
444
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,621
So, we're wondering if you think
they're from the same object
445
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,399
-Or associated in some way?
-Okay, sure.
446
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:40,404
Oh, yes.
447
00:20:46,804 --> 00:20:50,230
Yeah, this is a much,
much finer leather.
448
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:54,159
This would have been used for
a much finer item, you know,
449
00:20:54,312 --> 00:20:57,755
A gentleman's glove
or even a lady's glove.
450
00:20:57,982 --> 00:20:59,423
Wow.
451
00:21:00,668 --> 00:21:03,669
-So, we're looking
at a high-end item?
-Higher, much finer, yeah.
452
00:21:03,821 --> 00:21:07,581
Very white, probably close
to the leather that were used
453
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,843
During the, uh,
renaissance period.
454
00:21:10,995 --> 00:21:12,770
What are the dates
on the renaissance period?
455
00:21:12,997 --> 00:21:15,773
Well, this is, this is,
um, early 1600s.
456
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,350
Hmm.
457
00:21:18,444 --> 00:21:20,444
And the other...
458
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:25,357
Wow, yes, yeah.
459
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:28,286
So, I mean, if you compare these
two, it's like you're looking
460
00:21:28,513 --> 00:21:31,605
At two pieces
from the same garment.
461
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:34,125
And-and it appears to be
perhaps a finger from a glove.
462
00:21:36,296 --> 00:21:40,131
Perhaps a gentleman's glove
rather than a, than a lady's.
463
00:21:40,358 --> 00:21:43,375
You can see
the stitching here on the side.
464
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:47,363
The fact that these are high-end
items, that doesn't speak to,
465
00:21:47,381 --> 00:21:50,808
Say, a searcher who's more
of a common laborer...
466
00:21:50,959 --> 00:21:53,552
-Yeah...
-It speaks to a depositor.
467
00:21:53,704 --> 00:21:55,387
Yeah, you wouldn't wear
your finest clothes
468
00:21:55,540 --> 00:21:57,631
-When you're working
underground.
-No, no.
469
00:21:57,650 --> 00:22:00,059
Could the leather garments
have belonged to the same french
470
00:22:00,211 --> 00:22:02,728
Individual who buried
a vast treasure of silver
471
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:05,656
And who knows what else
on oak island as far back
472
00:22:05,808 --> 00:22:07,808
As the 15th century?
473
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:10,569
The team will keep digging
to find out in season nine.
474
00:22:10,721 --> 00:22:12,905
But that leaves
another important question.
475
00:22:13,057 --> 00:22:14,390
How did they do it?
476
00:22:14,408 --> 00:22:16,483
To help answer that,
we're back here
477
00:22:16,502 --> 00:22:19,078
At the aromatic,
triangle-shaped swamp.
478
00:22:19,172 --> 00:22:21,339
(inhales, groans)
479
00:22:28,997 --> 00:22:30,681
Marty:
Hey! Wait a second.
480
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:32,758
Look at that.
481
00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:34,518
That's cut.
482
00:22:34,745 --> 00:22:36,336
I'd say.
483
00:22:36,356 --> 00:22:38,022
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
That's definitely cut.
484
00:22:38,249 --> 00:22:39,932
Yeah, right there,
right there, right there.
485
00:22:40,026 --> 00:22:42,193
Matty:
While investigating
the stone road
486
00:22:42,420 --> 00:22:44,253
And pathway
in the southeastern corner
487
00:22:44,271 --> 00:22:46,530
Of the man-made swamp
during season eight,
488
00:22:46,757 --> 00:22:48,607
Marty, rick
and the team discovered
489
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:51,276
A number of cut wooden stakes
490
00:22:51,429 --> 00:22:54,279
That archaeologist
dr. Aaron taylor believed
491
00:22:54,432 --> 00:22:57,950
Were used as survey tools
to build these structures.
492
00:22:58,044 --> 00:23:00,378
Would they use that as
like a survey stake, you think?
493
00:23:00,529 --> 00:23:02,938
Stake out the road, like,
if guys like us were working...
494
00:23:02,957 --> 00:23:04,548
-Okay. Yep.
-...Somebody would go through
first.
495
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:06,366
Say, "between there and there,"
right?
496
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:07,701
Yeah, that's beautiful.
497
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,703
Matty:
These stakes offered
498
00:23:09,797 --> 00:23:11,371
More clues to help shape
499
00:23:11,465 --> 00:23:13,707
The oak island puzzle.
500
00:23:13,801 --> 00:23:16,619
Gary:
Getting another signal
in this area would be nice.
501
00:23:16,637 --> 00:23:19,138
Matty: But what we didn't get
to show you was the next find
502
00:23:19,232 --> 00:23:22,733
On our list that may have
been used to shape them.
503
00:23:24,386 --> 00:23:26,904
Number five:
The double headed axe.
504
00:23:27,131 --> 00:23:28,814
Got one!
505
00:23:28,966 --> 00:23:31,133
Here we go!
506
00:23:31,152 --> 00:23:33,077
Just there, mate. It's a...
507
00:23:33,228 --> 00:23:34,912
Strong signal.
508
00:23:38,643 --> 00:23:40,376
Is this it?
509
00:23:42,163 --> 00:23:43,662
Gary:
That's it!
510
00:23:43,814 --> 00:23:45,089
Rick:
Looks like an axe.
511
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000
It is an axe!
That's a double bit axe.
512
00:23:48,094 --> 00:23:50,076
That is an oldie.
513
00:23:50,096 --> 00:23:51,336
That is fantastic!
514
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:53,005
-Rick: There's wood on it,
too, right?
-Yeah.
515
00:23:53,157 --> 00:23:55,157
You can see the-the wood.
516
00:23:55,250 --> 00:23:58,084
Yeah.
The wood's still in there.
517
00:23:58,104 --> 00:24:00,420
It's got the two bits.
518
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,015
Uh, this would have been
like an old woodcutter's axe.
519
00:24:03,109 --> 00:24:04,758
What an oldie.
520
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:06,335
That's impressive.
521
00:24:06,353 --> 00:24:07,928
You feel that weight, rick?
522
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:10,114
It looks the same-- ooh, wow!
523
00:24:10,265 --> 00:24:13,784
But again, what is an axe
doing here in the swamp?
524
00:24:14,011 --> 00:24:16,028
-'cause this wasn't swamp.
-Gary: No.
525
00:24:16,122 --> 00:24:19,439
Rick: And if billy's right
and the road keeps going,
526
00:24:19,459 --> 00:24:22,184
Then what you're finding
527
00:24:22,277 --> 00:24:24,453
Is contemporaneous
with the road.
528
00:24:25,781 --> 00:24:29,525
I mean, this is fantastic, mate.
Artifact in the swamp!
529
00:24:29,543 --> 00:24:31,376
(laughter)
530
00:24:31,529 --> 00:24:34,029
Matty:
Not only was it
a fantastic find,
531
00:24:34,048 --> 00:24:36,456
But billy gerhardt was
absolutely right.
532
00:24:36,550 --> 00:24:38,550
The stone pathway kept going...
533
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:40,627
And going...
534
00:24:40,646 --> 00:24:42,462
All the way out of the swamp
535
00:24:42,482 --> 00:24:44,482
And in the direction
of the money pit.
536
00:24:48,729 --> 00:24:50,654
Matty: I'm still here
in the triangle-shaped swamp
537
00:24:50,806 --> 00:24:53,048
Because even though
it's easy to pick up the scent
538
00:24:53,067 --> 00:24:56,142
Of some nasty aromas,
as marty lagina often laments,
539
00:24:56,162 --> 00:24:58,721
It's also where the place where
the team continues to pick up
540
00:24:58,739 --> 00:25:00,906
The scent of a vast treasure
541
00:25:01,058 --> 00:25:04,743
That people have been trying
to find for over two centuries.
542
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:07,153
This particular artifact
was found in the swamp.
543
00:25:07,248 --> 00:25:08,672
Marty:
What the hell is that?
544
00:25:08,824 --> 00:25:10,749
Aaron:
Wow, that is very badly burned.
545
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,568
Part of a ship?
546
00:25:12,586 --> 00:25:14,236
-Wow!
-Gary: Ooh, look at that!
547
00:25:14,329 --> 00:25:16,680
I would say
this looks military.
548
00:25:16,832 --> 00:25:20,000
Matty:
Now we already mentioned
the ringbolts and pieces
549
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:21,927
Of cargo barrels
that were found along
550
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:24,004
The stone pathway in the swamp.
551
00:25:24,098 --> 00:25:25,414
Gary:
Look at that.
552
00:25:25,432 --> 00:25:28,359
Could be a low-grade gold.
Feel the weight of it.
553
00:25:28,510 --> 00:25:31,937
Matty: But the team also
discovered a gold-colored knob,
554
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:35,107
Which really impressed artifact
conservator sandy campbell
555
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:38,536
When he analyzed it.
556
00:25:38,687 --> 00:25:40,353
Sandy:
I mean, you can tell
by the workmanship,
557
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:41,705
It's far from modern.
558
00:25:43,617 --> 00:25:47,211
Could be some kind
of a knob from a jewel chest.
559
00:25:47,438 --> 00:25:49,605
It could have been
just for a secret box.
560
00:25:49,698 --> 00:25:51,715
-You-you... Who knows?
-Really?
561
00:25:53,368 --> 00:25:56,053
Matty:
Discoveries like that
really excited the team,
562
00:25:56,204 --> 00:25:58,722
As they found more evidence
that the pathway headed
563
00:25:58,949 --> 00:26:02,042
Out of the swamp
and toward the money pit.
564
00:26:02,136 --> 00:26:04,136
And what made this next
565
00:26:04,288 --> 00:26:05,804
Find that you never saw
in season eight
566
00:26:05,956 --> 00:26:08,640
Just as encouraging
was that it was not only
567
00:26:08,793 --> 00:26:10,642
Found along the stone pathway,
568
00:26:10,795 --> 00:26:13,128
But it matched an identical one
569
00:26:13,147 --> 00:26:16,407
Discovered two years ago
in the money pit itself.
570
00:26:17,985 --> 00:26:20,578
Number four: The rosehead spike.
571
00:26:20,805 --> 00:26:22,079
That tells me there's
something here, michael.
572
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:24,973
-Okay.
-Just in there,
just in that section there.
573
00:26:24,992 --> 00:26:26,417
All right.
574
00:26:33,150 --> 00:26:35,408
-Yeah, you got it out.
-Yeah, I did.
575
00:26:35,502 --> 00:26:37,261
Whatever it is, it's just here.
576
00:26:43,585 --> 00:26:45,919
-Oh! Look at that.
-Oh, very interesting, yeah.
577
00:26:46,013 --> 00:26:48,922
-Now that's nice.
-Yes.
578
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:51,350
Yeah, we both know what this is.
579
00:26:51,502 --> 00:26:54,445
A nice, short spike.
580
00:26:54,672 --> 00:26:57,005
Let me just have
a little look at it.
581
00:26:57,024 --> 00:26:58,690
Yeah, that's an oldie. Look.
582
00:26:58,784 --> 00:27:01,343
It's an ugly rosehead,
but it's definitely a rosehead.
583
00:27:01,436 --> 00:27:04,847
-Yeah.
-It was bashed down and...
584
00:27:04,865 --> 00:27:08,274
It just kind of split,
got that petal design
585
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:10,018
-Going round there.
-Yeah.
586
00:27:10,037 --> 00:27:12,354
That's an old, old nail,
and I know it's old
587
00:27:12,373 --> 00:27:13,705
Because of the weight of it.
588
00:27:13,858 --> 00:27:15,633
Feel the weight of it, mate.
589
00:27:15,784 --> 00:27:17,450
Michael j.:
Yeah.
590
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:19,361
Gary:
I always like searching the top
591
00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:20,529
Of the spoils pile because they
592
00:27:20,547 --> 00:27:22,531
Came from the deepest depth.
593
00:27:22,549 --> 00:27:25,367
So, it is an artifact connected
594
00:27:25,386 --> 00:27:28,145
To whatever
that stone feature is there.
595
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:32,966
We've found some beauties
all over the island.
596
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:38,304
Rosehead nails are
pre-1780, 1790,
597
00:27:38,399 --> 00:27:41,900
When the first factory,
598
00:27:42,052 --> 00:27:44,310
Machine-made nails came out.
599
00:27:44,405 --> 00:27:46,312
So, any rosehead nails
600
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:48,982
Found in the spoil piles
601
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,076
Is a good find,
because it means
602
00:27:51,228 --> 00:27:54,062
It's pre-1780, '90.
603
00:27:54,081 --> 00:27:57,174
Ah, mate,
very nice artifact indeed.
604
00:27:57,325 --> 00:27:59,343
It's gonna be beautiful
when it's cleaned up.
605
00:27:59,570 --> 00:28:02,237
Let's try and find
some more artifacts.
606
00:28:02,330 --> 00:28:03,922
Michael j.:
That's right.
607
00:28:04,016 --> 00:28:06,074
Matty:
It's these correlating
discoveries
608
00:28:06,093 --> 00:28:08,243
That, one by one, are bringing
609
00:28:08,262 --> 00:28:10,170
The team closer and closer
610
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:13,081
To solving
the oak island mystery.
611
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:17,252
Speaking of solving mysteries,
unearthing the massive remains
612
00:28:17,271 --> 00:28:19,512
Of a stone wharf
in the southeastern corner
613
00:28:19,532 --> 00:28:22,441
Of the swamp last year
pretty much helped the team
614
00:28:22,593 --> 00:28:25,369
Prove the late fred nolan's
long-held theory
615
00:28:25,596 --> 00:28:27,871
That the swamp was
artificially made.
616
00:28:30,525 --> 00:28:32,376
There's something on the bottom
there and I'm not joking.
617
00:28:36,865 --> 00:28:39,791
Is that a piece
of cut wood there?
618
00:28:39,885 --> 00:28:42,294
Matty: Further investigation
of the area then led
619
00:28:42,446 --> 00:28:44,446
To the discovery
of the oldest artifact
620
00:28:44,465 --> 00:28:46,965
Ever documented on oak island.
621
00:28:47,117 --> 00:28:49,301
-Very cool.
-Good eyes.
622
00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:51,286
Top-pocket find.
623
00:28:51,305 --> 00:28:53,397
(laughter)
624
00:28:53,548 --> 00:28:54,973
Gary:
Good one, billy.
625
00:28:55,125 --> 00:28:56,792
Matty:
A top-pocket find
626
00:28:56,885 --> 00:28:58,218
That was determined
to be a piece
627
00:28:58,312 --> 00:28:59,811
Of wooden ship's railing
628
00:28:59,964 --> 00:29:02,314
Dating back as far as 660 a.D.
629
00:29:02,466 --> 00:29:05,058
Now, that may seem unbelievable,
630
00:29:05,152 --> 00:29:08,412
But it's another key clue
that might explain the massive
631
00:29:08,563 --> 00:29:12,307
200-foot-long ship-shaped
anomaly the team identified
632
00:29:12,326 --> 00:29:15,419
Using seismic testing
at the end of season six.
633
00:29:19,817 --> 00:29:21,258
It also brings us to the next
634
00:29:21,409 --> 00:29:23,243
Top season eight find
on our list
635
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:26,171
That you didn't get to see.
636
00:29:26,323 --> 00:29:28,673
Number three: The ship's pin.
637
00:29:28,768 --> 00:29:31,101
Gary: All right, let's see
what this last load is.
638
00:29:31,253 --> 00:29:34,254
Matty:
As the oak island team rushed
to keep looking for clues
639
00:29:34,348 --> 00:29:37,924
Near the stone wharf before
the harsh nova scotia winter
640
00:29:38,018 --> 00:29:41,278
Forced them to halt operations
for the year, gary drayton,
641
00:29:41,429 --> 00:29:44,264
Steve guptill
and billy gerhardt made another
642
00:29:44,358 --> 00:29:46,599
Telling discovery.
643
00:29:46,619 --> 00:29:48,434
Gary:
Oh, right on top, steve.
644
00:29:48,529 --> 00:29:50,770
Steve g.:
What's that?
645
00:29:50,790 --> 00:29:53,865
That looks like
a big old iron...
646
00:29:54,018 --> 00:29:56,184
We'd call this a wharf pin.
647
00:29:56,278 --> 00:29:57,944
-Okay.
-It could be a ship's pin.
648
00:29:58,038 --> 00:29:59,521
Right on the top as well.
649
00:29:59,614 --> 00:30:03,116
We found a few of these along
the edge of the swamp this year.
650
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:05,377
-We're in the deepest part
of the cove here.
-Yeah.
651
00:30:05,529 --> 00:30:07,638
You can tell it's hand-forged.
652
00:30:07,789 --> 00:30:08,972
It's really heavy.
653
00:30:09,124 --> 00:30:12,309
Yeah, I mean, this is
substantial piece of iron.
654
00:30:12,460 --> 00:30:14,794
It's a good sign
that we're finding
655
00:30:14,888 --> 00:30:16,204
-These as well.
-Yeah.
656
00:30:16,298 --> 00:30:17,706
Gary:
And actually, it was round
657
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,632
About this area where we found
658
00:30:19,652 --> 00:30:21,893
Some other ones similar to this.
659
00:30:21,987 --> 00:30:23,562
Did it come from deep down,
billy, this last one?
660
00:30:23,656 --> 00:30:25,881
I'd say about two feet
deeper than the road.
661
00:30:25,899 --> 00:30:28,066
-Yeah.
-Steve g.: That's a good sign.
662
00:30:28,218 --> 00:30:29,885
-Yeah, that really is.
-Yeah. That shows its age.
663
00:30:29,903 --> 00:30:31,553
Gary:
Yeah, that's old iron.
664
00:30:31,572 --> 00:30:33,646
This is the type of artifact
665
00:30:33,666 --> 00:30:36,667
That we want to be recovering
if we're looking for a ship.
666
00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:40,653
Marty:
I'm surprised 'cause
I didn't think there was
667
00:30:40,673 --> 00:30:42,840
Anything in there
but swamp stuff.
668
00:30:43,067 --> 00:30:45,584
There obviously is a lot
of stuff in the swamp.
669
00:30:45,736 --> 00:30:48,178
We haven't found
the answer we seek yet,
670
00:30:48,330 --> 00:30:52,015
But it clearly played a role
in what happened on oak island.
671
00:30:52,242 --> 00:30:54,926
So, right behind us,
we found the ship's railing.
672
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,761
Gary:
Yeah, that looked
like a ship's railing.
673
00:30:56,914 --> 00:30:58,838
-Maybe this is
other pieces of...
-Yeah.
674
00:30:58,858 --> 00:31:01,024
If that was a ship,
other pieces of the ship.
675
00:31:01,251 --> 00:31:03,435
Yeah. Well, maybe
there's some more parts
676
00:31:03,587 --> 00:31:06,679
Of whatever this structure
is around here.
677
00:31:06,773 --> 00:31:08,198
This is a good sign.
678
00:31:08,425 --> 00:31:10,516
Yeah, I know.
We'll keep our eyes peeled.
679
00:31:10,611 --> 00:31:12,536
Gary:
Okay, mate.
680
00:31:17,710 --> 00:31:18,858
Matty:
Now, we already mentioned
681
00:31:18,952 --> 00:31:20,878
The two amazing discoveries
682
00:31:21,105 --> 00:31:22,938
Of the two different
massive ship's wharfs
683
00:31:23,031 --> 00:31:25,774
That the fellowship documented
in season eight.
684
00:31:25,867 --> 00:31:28,719
One in the southeastern
area of the swamp
685
00:31:28,946 --> 00:31:32,205
And the other bordering
samuel ball's property.
686
00:31:32,299 --> 00:31:35,117
This is a good place
to start, mate.
687
00:31:35,135 --> 00:31:37,786
Matty:
But incredibly, those were not
688
00:31:37,804 --> 00:31:40,063
The only signs
of hidden docking stations
689
00:31:40,215 --> 00:31:43,233
That the team found
last season on the island.
690
00:31:43,460 --> 00:31:46,478
Possible evidence of a third
one was found on lot 32,
691
00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:48,296
Which leads us to the next
692
00:31:48,390 --> 00:31:51,575
Top find you never saw
during season eight.
693
00:31:51,802 --> 00:31:53,726
(whirring, beeping)
694
00:31:53,746 --> 00:31:56,079
Somewhere in there,
we have got a target.
695
00:32:00,661 --> 00:32:02,669
David f.: I guess
I'll let you take a look.
696
00:32:05,816 --> 00:32:08,884
Matty: Number two:
The lot 32 wharf pin.
697
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:12,154
Gary:
It's here. Look at that.
698
00:32:12,247 --> 00:32:13,838
-David f.: Oh, yeah.
-That looks nice!
699
00:32:13,991 --> 00:32:16,433
Doesn't it, mate?
We have got a good find here,
700
00:32:16,660 --> 00:32:18,084
I hope.
701
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:21,021
I'll broggle it out
with my little trowel.
702
00:32:22,257 --> 00:32:24,441
That is nice.
I like the look of that.
703
00:32:29,782 --> 00:32:31,840
Look at that.
704
00:32:31,933 --> 00:32:34,368
It reveals itself.
Look at that beauty.
705
00:32:36,363 --> 00:32:38,622
Look at that, david.
706
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:41,792
Now-- oh, it's broken.
707
00:32:41,943 --> 00:32:43,535
But this is heavy,
708
00:32:43,687 --> 00:32:47,631
So it's older iron
and it's just so corroded
709
00:32:47,858 --> 00:32:50,616
Because the salt water
has just wrecked it,
710
00:32:50,711 --> 00:32:53,786
Unfortunately, but the fact
that it's still here and there's
711
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,214
So much of it, tells me that
712
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:58,124
This is an old piece of iron.
713
00:32:58,218 --> 00:33:00,143
It's got a mushroom head on it.
714
00:33:00,295 --> 00:33:02,646
I would classify this
as a wharf pin.
715
00:33:02,797 --> 00:33:04,222
So, I mean, you said
you think it might be old.
716
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:05,390
What does that mean? How old?
717
00:33:05,542 --> 00:33:07,467
They would have used them
back in the day
718
00:33:07,561 --> 00:33:09,711
On ships and wharfs.
719
00:33:09,730 --> 00:33:12,972
-Right.
-This is signs of a wharf, mate.
720
00:33:13,066 --> 00:33:14,807
-Right here. Bingo, mate!
-Yeah.
721
00:33:14,827 --> 00:33:16,309
We hit the jackpot with this.
722
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:17,494
It's perfect.
723
00:33:19,389 --> 00:33:22,666
Matty:
Finding the possible remains
of another ship's wharf
724
00:33:22,817 --> 00:33:25,560
Was definitely
a major score for the team,
725
00:33:25,579 --> 00:33:28,913
But then the question becomes
just who might have built it?
726
00:33:30,009 --> 00:33:33,176
Well, as we all did get to see
during season eight
727
00:33:33,328 --> 00:33:35,754
Of the curse of oak island,
on that same day,
728
00:33:35,906 --> 00:33:37,497
And in the same area,
729
00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:40,017
Gary and david made
another discovery
730
00:33:40,244 --> 00:33:43,002
That just may help
answer that question.
731
00:33:43,022 --> 00:33:44,813
It's in my hand.
732
00:33:46,099 --> 00:33:47,482
Very interesting.
733
00:33:48,435 --> 00:33:50,752
Oh, wow, look at that, mate.
734
00:33:50,771 --> 00:33:53,697
This is really, really special.
735
00:33:53,924 --> 00:33:56,182
This is old.
736
00:33:56,276 --> 00:33:59,261
This is an old lead
737
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:00,945
Cloth bag seal.
738
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,115
A lead bag seal was used
739
00:34:04,268 --> 00:34:06,859
When an old sack...
740
00:34:06,953 --> 00:34:09,771
-Yeah.
-...Was sealed, they tied
741
00:34:09,864 --> 00:34:12,774
The sack
and they put a seal on it.
742
00:34:12,793 --> 00:34:16,553
This is
a very important find, mate.
743
00:34:16,780 --> 00:34:19,281
Matty:
The use of bag seals dates
744
00:34:19,374 --> 00:34:21,058
Back to the 1300s in europe,
745
00:34:21,285 --> 00:34:23,393
Where they functioned
as fasteners on sacks
746
00:34:23,620 --> 00:34:25,970
For commercial goods
or major operations
747
00:34:26,065 --> 00:34:28,139
To transport cargo.
748
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:31,810
In other words, finding
the seal next to the possible
749
00:34:31,962 --> 00:34:35,238
Remains of a wharf means
that both could be evidence
750
00:34:35,390 --> 00:34:38,800
Of another major operation
to bring massive amounts
751
00:34:38,819 --> 00:34:41,803
Of something
to oak island long ago.
752
00:34:41,896 --> 00:34:43,822
David f.:
Does that go in the top pocket?
753
00:34:43,916 --> 00:34:45,307
Gary:
Without doubt, mate.
754
00:34:45,325 --> 00:34:47,826
This is a true top-pocket find.
755
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,754
We've just struck gold
with this piece of lead, mate.
756
00:34:52,983 --> 00:34:56,000
We'll revisit the topic
of gold
757
00:34:56,095 --> 00:34:58,077
In our next and final
758
00:34:58,097 --> 00:35:00,171
Top find you never saw
during season eight
759
00:35:00,265 --> 00:35:02,099
In just a few moments.
760
00:35:02,326 --> 00:35:04,601
But getting back
to the possible significance
761
00:35:04,752 --> 00:35:06,937
Of the lot 32 wharf pin...
762
00:35:07,164 --> 00:35:09,998
When rick lagina
and members of the team
763
00:35:10,016 --> 00:35:12,776
Analyzed the lead bag seal
in the research center
764
00:35:13,003 --> 00:35:15,186
With laird niven,
they were astonished
765
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,762
By what they found.
766
00:35:16,857 --> 00:35:18,690
If I pull it down...
767
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:22,435
It's really faint.
768
00:35:22,529 --> 00:35:26,865
But... What you can't see
is that that's
769
00:35:26,959 --> 00:35:29,868
Actually the shape of a four.
770
00:35:30,020 --> 00:35:31,035
Gary;
oh, yeah. Okay...
771
00:35:31,188 --> 00:35:32,871
Laird: Apparently,
that's an old symbol,
772
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:35,857
Used for a long time.
773
00:35:35,950 --> 00:35:37,208
And it's not actually a four.
774
00:35:37,361 --> 00:35:41,138
They think it represents, like,
the sign of the cross.
775
00:35:43,475 --> 00:35:44,641
Rick:
Oh, wow.
776
00:35:44,868 --> 00:35:47,960
What is the significance,
the sign of the cross?
777
00:35:48,054 --> 00:35:49,980
You wouldn't think to find that
778
00:35:50,131 --> 00:35:52,891
-On a commercial enterprise,
right?
-Mm-hmm.
779
00:35:53,043 --> 00:35:55,226
Laird:
I don't think it derives
from family crests because
780
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,714
That, that symbol is
used by multiple families.
781
00:35:59,807 --> 00:36:01,733
So, this would have
been something
782
00:36:01,885 --> 00:36:04,386
Carried down
through generations.
783
00:36:04,479 --> 00:36:05,887
It's just most curious
to have that
784
00:36:05,980 --> 00:36:07,722
Religious symbol
on a commercial item.
785
00:36:07,815 --> 00:36:09,724
I-I find that
to be very strange.
786
00:36:09,817 --> 00:36:11,835
And the only people
who would do that
787
00:36:11,986 --> 00:36:14,754
In my limited knowledge base
would be templars.
788
00:36:19,069 --> 00:36:22,070
Going back, though,
to the origination of it.
789
00:36:22,088 --> 00:36:25,573
And you think back,
right, the templars
790
00:36:25,592 --> 00:36:27,833
Were heavy into commerce.
791
00:36:27,853 --> 00:36:29,744
I mean, they,
they literally were
792
00:36:29,837 --> 00:36:31,596
The bankers and the financiers
793
00:36:31,748 --> 00:36:34,749
And the commercial
operatives of the day.
794
00:36:34,842 --> 00:36:36,751
You know, those were
the people you dealt with.
795
00:36:36,844 --> 00:36:39,270
Yeah. I just find it
really evocative.
796
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:40,772
I find it really cool.
797
00:36:40,924 --> 00:36:42,941
Matty:
If rick lagina is correct that
798
00:36:43,035 --> 00:36:46,185
The bag seal, along with
evidence of another wharf,
799
00:36:46,279 --> 00:36:49,021
Found on lot 32 near the swamp,
800
00:36:49,115 --> 00:36:52,191
Were connected to the medieval
order of the knights templar,
801
00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:55,620
Then do those finds also
explain other significant ones
802
00:36:55,772 --> 00:36:57,196
Made by the team?
803
00:36:57,216 --> 00:37:00,199
Like the early
13th-century paved area
804
00:37:00,219 --> 00:37:03,945
That was uncovered
within the swamp two years ago?
805
00:37:03,964 --> 00:37:07,115
Or that 700-year-old lead cross
806
00:37:07,208 --> 00:37:09,851
Found at smith's cove
during season five?
807
00:37:15,067 --> 00:37:16,307
Matty: The most memorable moment
of season eight--
808
00:37:16,460 --> 00:37:17,959
And quite possibly
in the history
809
00:37:18,052 --> 00:37:19,477
Of the oak island
treasure hunt--
810
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:21,721
Came when the results of
water sampling tests done
811
00:37:21,815 --> 00:37:23,723
Right here in borehole c-1
812
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:25,909
Were presented to the team
in the war room.
813
00:37:27,804 --> 00:37:30,080
Marty: Welcome!
One of my favorite times.
814
00:37:30,231 --> 00:37:31,731
We get to look at some,
I believe,
815
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:33,733
Will be very interesting data.
816
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:36,644
Matty: It all started
with a very direct question
817
00:37:36,663 --> 00:37:39,497
From geoscientist
dr. Ian spooner.
818
00:37:39,649 --> 00:37:42,834
Do you think there is
treasure in the money pit?
819
00:37:42,986 --> 00:37:44,261
Ooh, I like that lead in.
820
00:37:44,412 --> 00:37:45,762
(laughter)
821
00:37:45,913 --> 00:37:47,430
No, you know, I'm serious.
822
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:50,174
-Do I?
-Yeah.
823
00:37:50,269 --> 00:37:51,751
Small chance.
824
00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:53,828
I-I do. I absolutely do.
825
00:37:53,847 --> 00:37:55,179
I believe that
what they drilled into
826
00:37:55,274 --> 00:37:57,274
In 1897 is real.
827
00:37:57,425 --> 00:37:58,775
-I think it's still there.
-Right.
828
00:37:59,002 --> 00:38:00,184
Right.
829
00:38:00,337 --> 00:38:02,337
So, doug, can you bring, uh,
830
00:38:02,355 --> 00:38:04,689
-Bring up the presentation?
-I can.
831
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,449
Ian:
Great.
832
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:11,937
There is
every reason to believe
833
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:14,607
Down in those holes
that there is
834
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,293
Something close by
835
00:38:16,444 --> 00:38:18,202
That contains a very large
836
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:21,447
Amount of silver.
837
00:38:21,541 --> 00:38:24,542
Doug: I guess I'm still trying
to get a mental picture of how
838
00:38:24,694 --> 00:38:25,951
Much silver it would
take to get to these levels.
839
00:38:26,046 --> 00:38:28,454
Like, is it a handful
of silver or is it a gerhardt
840
00:38:28,548 --> 00:38:29,789
Dump truck load of silver?
841
00:38:29,808 --> 00:38:32,367
-It's a gerhardt dump truck.
-Marty: Oh, baby.
842
00:38:32,460 --> 00:38:34,144
-Jack: Oh, no way!
-(laughter)
843
00:38:35,463 --> 00:38:38,148
And it was in... That hole...
844
00:38:38,375 --> 00:38:39,799
That the shiny gold thing
was found that we're
845
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:41,151
Still looking for to this day.
846
00:38:41,302 --> 00:38:44,228
If that was
a golden alloy of such...
847
00:38:44,381 --> 00:38:45,655
-Mm-hmm.
-...You know,
maybe that was one piece
848
00:38:45,807 --> 00:38:47,065
Of what we're looking for.
849
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:50,068
-Yep.
-Ian: Yeah, there's
something down there.
850
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:51,328
Doug:
Wow.
851
00:38:51,479 --> 00:38:53,888
Matty: But that was only
one major revelation
852
00:38:53,907 --> 00:38:57,058
Of scientific evidence
that precious metals
853
00:38:57,077 --> 00:38:59,077
Lie buried deep on oak island.
854
00:38:59,229 --> 00:39:00,562
The other?
855
00:39:00,655 --> 00:39:02,505
Ian:
We'll get the sample.
856
00:39:02,732 --> 00:39:04,674
Matty:
In an effort to leave no stone
857
00:39:04,901 --> 00:39:06,676
That might be covering treasure
unturned,
858
00:39:06,828 --> 00:39:10,513
Rick, marty and craig had
dr. Spooner and dr. Lukeman
859
00:39:10,665 --> 00:39:13,074
Also test multiple boreholes
around oak island,
860
00:39:13,093 --> 00:39:16,853
Including three on the western
drumlin that they had drilled
861
00:39:17,004 --> 00:39:20,098
Years earlier with their
late partner, dan blankenship.
862
00:39:20,192 --> 00:39:24,027
Once again, their intuition
paid off and it led
863
00:39:24,178 --> 00:39:26,771
To the top season eight find
that you didn't get to see
864
00:39:26,923 --> 00:39:28,865
Until right this moment.
865
00:39:30,443 --> 00:39:33,444
Number one: The gold rush.
866
00:39:33,597 --> 00:39:36,097
So, we've looked
at the money pit
867
00:39:36,190 --> 00:39:38,433
And, uh,
we've already established
868
00:39:38,451 --> 00:39:39,876
That there's treasure there.
869
00:39:40,103 --> 00:39:42,045
The first one
that's kind of fun
870
00:39:42,196 --> 00:39:43,213
Is down
in the west drumlin here.
871
00:39:43,364 --> 00:39:45,364
There are three wells--
29, 30, 31,
872
00:39:45,384 --> 00:39:47,792
I think they were--
all together.
873
00:39:47,944 --> 00:39:49,386
And I was really surprised.
874
00:39:49,537 --> 00:39:51,796
Like, look at,
look at the zinc levels.
875
00:39:51,948 --> 00:39:53,873
Uh, very, very high.
876
00:39:53,892 --> 00:39:56,059
No copper, no silver.
877
00:39:56,286 --> 00:39:59,396
And so that very high zinc
and some of the other
878
00:39:59,623 --> 00:40:03,307
Metals we saw really
has the strong, strong hint
879
00:40:03,460 --> 00:40:07,979
Of sphalerite
and it's commonly associated
880
00:40:08,131 --> 00:40:10,222
With veining
881
00:40:10,242 --> 00:40:12,409
Uh, that has gold.
882
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:15,561
Did we check for lead?
883
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:18,248
Yes, and the lead isn't
particularly high.
884
00:40:18,399 --> 00:40:20,733
But, lead,
it doesn't particularly
885
00:40:20,752 --> 00:40:23,068
Corrode all that well, either.
886
00:40:23,088 --> 00:40:24,570
Most of the wells by far don't
887
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:25,738
Show anything anomalous.
888
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:27,665
That's the huge part
of this, isn't it?
889
00:40:27,759 --> 00:40:29,834
That is, exactly.
890
00:40:29,986 --> 00:40:32,244
So, with a little bit
of a smile and a twinkle
891
00:40:32,264 --> 00:40:34,264
In my eye, I'd say if things
don't work out over here,
892
00:40:34,415 --> 00:40:37,675
I would certainly start
taking a look over there.
893
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:39,010
(laughter)
894
00:40:39,104 --> 00:40:43,773
For the first time ever
that we have experienced,
895
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,610
There's actual
science-based evidence
896
00:40:47,762 --> 00:40:51,281
That precious metals still
reside beneath oak island.
897
00:40:51,508 --> 00:40:54,175
Let's get
to the bottom of oak island.
898
00:40:54,194 --> 00:40:56,027
Well, now, we mean it literally.
899
00:40:56,179 --> 00:40:59,271
There's reasons to be
excited about the future.
900
00:40:59,365 --> 00:41:01,365
There's reasons to...
901
00:41:01,518 --> 00:41:02,959
Continue.
902
00:41:05,855 --> 00:41:10,133
Could it really be possible
that after 226 years
903
00:41:10,284 --> 00:41:12,802
Of people searching
for treasure on oak island
904
00:41:13,029 --> 00:41:15,880
That it's home to
a literal gold mine, as well?
905
00:41:15,974 --> 00:41:18,533
If so, then with all
the other discoveries the team
906
00:41:18,551 --> 00:41:20,810
Has made and all
the momentum they're carrying
907
00:41:20,962 --> 00:41:23,888
Into season nine,
just four short weeks away,
908
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,483
That it promises to be
the greatest one yet.
909
00:41:26,634 --> 00:41:29,301
And it just might be the one
where we see the oak island
910
00:41:29,321 --> 00:41:31,488
Mystery solved once and for all.
911
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:33,823
I know I can't wait.
912
00:41:33,975 --> 00:41:36,993
Until then, stay faithful.
We'll see you next time.
913
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:39,954
