Terry: There's something
going on in the garden shaft.

00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:06,654
-Oh, yeah, there we go.
-We got something right there.

00:00:06,749 --> 00:00:08,415
-Oh, my god.
-Oh, wow, look.
5
00:00:08,567 --> 00:00:10,567
-What do you make of that?
-That's very odd.
6
00:00:10,586 --> 00:00:13,237
Gary:
This is what
I'd class as treasure.

Sandy:
The roughness here.
8
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,073
It's 500 years old, at least.
9
00:00:16,091 --> 00:00:17,574
-Phew
-wow.
10
00:00:17,667 --> 00:00:19,259
There's a canadian mining
company,
11
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:21,669
They could come in and open up
in the garden shaft.
12
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:24,023
Are we going to be able
to actually go underground
13
00:00:24,174 --> 00:00:25,582
-In that shaft?
-Yep.
14
00:00:25,675 --> 00:00:27,100

Where people
have been looking for
18
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:40,873
An incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
19
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,876
So far, they have found
a stone slab
20
00:00:44,103 --> 00:00:45,836
With strange symbols
carved into it...
21
00:00:47,289 --> 00:00:50,457
...Man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
22
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:54,869
And a lead cross
whose origin may be connected
23
00:00:54,963 --> 00:00:56,113
To the knights templar.
24
00:00:56,131 --> 00:00:58,949
To date, six men have died
25
00:00:59,042 --> 00:01:01,952
Trying to solve the mystery.
26
00:01:01,970 --> 00:01:06,957
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
27
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:09,359

can be found.

Steve g.:
So, we're currently right here.

The borehole is called
a.5n-13.5.
38
00:01:46,256 --> 00:01:47,831
-Okay.
-The water testing,
39
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:49,608
It is all pointing us
to this area.
40
00:01:49,835 --> 00:01:51,944
Terry:
Further to that,
we're looking to find
41
00:01:52,171 --> 00:01:53,503
Tunnels in this area
42
00:01:53,597 --> 00:01:55,597

-The garden shaft.
-Right.

What are we at here?
45
00:01:58,101 --> 00:02:00,285
Terry:
We are at above 18 feet.
46
00:02:00,512 --> 00:02:02,529
Because we are
still relatively shallow.
47
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:05,940
Narrator:
Today, they are drilling
a new borehole
48
00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:08,034
In the fabled money pit area,
49
00:02:08,187 --> 00:02:12,038
Attempting to penetrate
a five-foot-tall wooden tunnel,
50
00:02:12,191 --> 00:02:16,635
Some 103 feet deep, which they
first discovered two weeks ago.
51
00:02:17,863 --> 00:02:20,139
-Gary: Oh, wow.
-Marty: Whoa!
52
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:23,200
-That's a tunnel, all right.
-That's really cool.
53
00:02:23,218 --> 00:02:25,552
This is a previously unknown
perhaps depositor-- tunnel.
54
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:28,722
That is really exciting.
55
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:31,466
Narrator:
A subsequent sonar operation
revealed
56
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,710
That the tunnel is heading north
57
00:02:33,729 --> 00:02:37,381
Toward a mysterious structure
known as the garden shaft.
58
00:02:37,399 --> 00:02:42,661
A shaft that has been carbon-
dated to the early 18th century
59
00:02:42,888 --> 00:02:45,555
And where recent water testing
has indicated
60
00:02:45,649 --> 00:02:49,726
High-trace evidence
of gold deep underground.
61
00:02:49,819 --> 00:02:52,896
We don't know what
the garden shaft is.
62
00:02:52,915 --> 00:02:56,157
We have gold
showing up in the water.
63
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:58,844
So it has turned out
to be perhaps significant.
64
00:02:58,995 --> 00:03:01,162
Whether it's gonna lead us
to the treasure or not,
65
00:03:01,182 --> 00:03:02,764
We're going to have to see.
66
00:03:04,076 --> 00:03:06,018
Of course, your mind races to,
you know,
67
00:03:06,169 --> 00:03:08,854
This could be part of
the original depositional work.
68
00:03:09,081 --> 00:03:12,858
I still want the "what
happened," I still want
69
00:03:13,085 --> 00:03:15,752
Those last few paragraphs,
and I think
70
00:03:15,845 --> 00:03:18,179
We're on
the cusp of writing that.

That he can identify the piece
of potential jewelry

That gary drayton and
jack begley found one week ago.
94
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:08,805
We have got an old
head-scratcher here.
95
00:04:08,824 --> 00:04:11,232
I'm pretty sure it's old.
96
00:04:11,326 --> 00:04:12,900
I don't know what the stone is,
97
00:04:12,995 --> 00:04:14,661
But the setting looks old.
98
00:04:14,813 --> 00:04:16,421
It's really unusual.
99
00:04:16,648 --> 00:04:19,983
Just so out of place as well,
where we found it.
100
00:04:20,076 --> 00:04:22,486
It was in
the middle of a wooded lot.
101
00:04:22,579 --> 00:04:23,653
-Mm-hmm.
-And I'm hoping you can
102
00:04:23,672 --> 00:04:25,055
Shed some light on it, mate.
103
00:04:26,916 --> 00:04:29,009
-Right here, mate.
-Thank you.
104
00:04:29,161 --> 00:04:31,270
Interesting.
105
00:04:31,421 --> 00:04:34,331
There's a good start,
"interesting" on oak island.
106
00:04:34,424 --> 00:04:36,016
Narrator:
What makes this artifact
107
00:04:36,168 --> 00:04:40,279
So intriguing is that it was
found on lot 7,
108
00:04:40,430 --> 00:04:44,283
Near the border of lot 8 on
the western side of the island.
109
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:48,102
It is in this area
where the team discovered
110
00:04:48,122 --> 00:04:51,515
A semi-precious
garnet gemstone five years ago
111
00:04:51,533 --> 00:04:53,625
That some believe
may be connected
112
00:04:53,852 --> 00:04:56,369
To sacred treasures
of the knights templar.
113
00:04:56,463 --> 00:05:00,299
And just this year,
it is where they also discovered
114
00:05:00,526 --> 00:05:03,860
A bunk hook designed
for lifting heavy cargo,
115
00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:06,471
As well as a possible coin
116
00:05:06,698 --> 00:05:10,033
Potentially
predating the 16th century.
117
00:05:10,126 --> 00:05:12,052
You know, the first thing
that strikes me
118
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:17,298
Is that it's a ferrous metal
around the adornment item.
119
00:05:17,318 --> 00:05:21,211
And this lip coming over the
edge, that might indicate
120
00:05:21,304 --> 00:05:24,230
A little hinged something
or cover to it, perhaps.
121
00:05:24,383 --> 00:05:26,307
Yeah, that's what piqued
my interest as well,
122
00:05:26,327 --> 00:05:30,053
Because that so reminds me
of an old-style setting.
123
00:05:30,146 --> 00:05:32,556
Schneirla:
Yeah, so, I would have to think
124
00:05:32,649 --> 00:05:35,241
That it's some kind of a pin.
125
00:05:35,394 --> 00:05:36,910
Yep.
126
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:37,836
The material is glass.
127
00:05:38,063 --> 00:05:39,729
Hmm.
128
00:05:39,748 --> 00:05:41,506
I don't know whether that's
129
00:05:41,658 --> 00:05:44,584
On a metal backing,
which is known as a foil back,
130
00:05:44,736 --> 00:05:46,419
Or there's actually
131
00:05:46,572 --> 00:05:48,088
A colorant on the back
of the cab itself.
132
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:49,848
But, you know,
133
00:05:50,075 --> 00:05:52,258
Glass has been used
as an imitation of gemstones
134
00:05:52,353 --> 00:05:54,019
Since the roman times.
135
00:05:54,246 --> 00:05:57,022
The other thing that
I will mention is that,
136
00:05:57,173 --> 00:06:01,342
Having looked at a lot
of jewelry from all periods,
137
00:06:01,362 --> 00:06:05,197
From all over the world, I've
never seen a mounting like that.
138
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:09,868
It's definitely not usa.
139
00:06:10,019 --> 00:06:13,263
What you're telling us
is absolutely, bloody fantastic.
140
00:06:13,356 --> 00:06:14,447
This has got
an old feel about it.
141
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:16,282
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
142
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:20,604
Narrator:
Using the fisherbrand 425 series
microscope,
143
00:06:20,697 --> 00:06:23,940
Peter will be able to magnify
the artifact
144
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,052
Up to 50 times its actual size.
145
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,221
Gary:
Cool, that really
is a bobby-dazzler.
146
00:06:29,448 --> 00:06:31,223
Yeah, I mean,
we're in blue heaven.
147
00:06:31,374 --> 00:06:34,300
-I mean, this is gorgeous.
-Beautiful.
148
00:06:34,395 --> 00:06:36,878
So, if you look at
that dark, round sphere
149
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:40,624
Up there in
the two o'clock position,
150
00:06:40,642 --> 00:06:43,960
You can see that's
an air bubble, gas bubble.
151
00:06:43,979 --> 00:06:46,905
Which does not occur
in any gem material,
152
00:06:47,132 --> 00:06:50,150
Except for amber
and only on rare occasion.
153
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:52,077
So, that's another
154
00:06:52,228 --> 00:06:53,561
Indicator that it's glass.
155
00:06:53,655 --> 00:06:55,563
Rick:
So, we come to the
156
00:06:55,657 --> 00:06:59,809
Indelicate part of... Aging it.
157
00:06:59,828 --> 00:07:02,921
Can you infer anything?
158
00:07:03,072 --> 00:07:05,165
I can infer that the metal
159
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,909
Seems like it's a pretty
160
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:11,321
Non-evolved alloy,
161
00:07:11,339 --> 00:07:12,505
-If you know what I'm saying.
-Yup.
162
00:07:12,658 --> 00:07:14,324
Schneirla:
That style of pin
163
00:07:14,417 --> 00:07:18,011
Was common back to the,
you know,
164
00:07:18,105 --> 00:07:20,163
1700s or earlier.
165
00:07:20,182 --> 00:07:23,683
Narrator:
A potentially ancient
cloak pin?
166
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:26,111
Gary:
Oh, my gosh!
167
00:07:26,262 --> 00:07:28,930
It's another bobby-dazzler,
look!
168
00:07:29,024 --> 00:07:31,432
Narrator:
In 2018,
169
00:07:31,526 --> 00:07:34,936
While searching on lot 21, also
located on the western side
170
00:07:35,030 --> 00:07:36,529
Of the island,
171
00:07:36,682 --> 00:07:38,698
Rick and gary
found a decorative brooch
172
00:07:38,850 --> 00:07:40,867
Featuring a glass stone.
173
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:43,687
So, definitive glass but
174
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:46,781
Also definitive hand-made,
not modern.
175
00:07:46,875 --> 00:07:49,542
Narrator:
And when gemologist
charles lewton-brain
176
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:53,196
Inspected it, the team was
stunned by his analysis.
177
00:07:53,215 --> 00:07:55,198
When you say "not modern..."
178
00:07:55,291 --> 00:07:56,475
Lewton-brain:
Well, glass gems
179
00:07:56,702 --> 00:08:00,036
Have been around at least
500 years.
180
00:08:00,055 --> 00:08:02,129
This is not your ordinary
181
00:08:02,224 --> 00:08:05,484
Old brooch found in the ground.
182
00:08:05,711 --> 00:08:08,820
That is a super
ancient way of making wire.
183
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:14,159
Narrator:
Could this artifact
found on lot 7
184
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:17,162
Be related to the other
pieces of ancient jewelry
185
00:08:17,313 --> 00:08:20,390
That have been discovered on
the western side of the island?
186
00:08:20,408 --> 00:08:22,817
If so, what else might be there
187
00:08:22,911 --> 00:08:24,920
Just waiting to be unearthed?
188
00:08:26,081 --> 00:08:27,564
Rick:
Well, from that you can infer,
189
00:08:27,657 --> 00:08:30,008
Why would someone
be wandering around with
190
00:08:30,235 --> 00:08:31,751
An item such as this
191
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,678
On the western drumlin?
It makes no sense.
192
00:08:33,905 --> 00:08:35,180
Unless...
193
00:08:36,424 --> 00:08:37,832
...There was a specific purpose
194
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,684
To be on the western drumlin.
195
00:08:39,836 --> 00:08:42,428
Schneirla:
It's a very, very exciting
piece,
196
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:45,006
And as an imitation-colored
gemstone, this is magnificent.
197
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:46,674
That's most unusual,
198
00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:48,509
So, congratulations
on finding it.
199
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:50,920
There's got to be some
more gems there with it.
200
00:08:50,939 --> 00:08:53,106
It's got to have friends.
201
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,941
And with a bit of luck we'll
have you on speed dial, mate.
202
00:08:55,093 --> 00:08:57,018
Because we are going
to be finding some more.
203
00:08:57,037 --> 00:08:58,945
-I would love that.
-(laughs)
204
00:08:59,097 --> 00:09:01,206
-Rick: Pleasure to meet you.
-Schneirla: My pleasure.
205
00:09:02,617 --> 00:09:04,692
Narrator:
Later that afternoon...
206
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:06,452
-Hey, guys.
-Hello, gents!
207
00:09:06,547 --> 00:09:07,771
-Gentlemen.
-Here we are.
208
00:09:07,864 --> 00:09:09,789
-Checking in again.
-Yeah.
209
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,275
...Rick, marty,
and their business partner
210
00:09:12,294 --> 00:09:14,444
Craig tester
arrive at the money pit
211
00:09:14,462 --> 00:09:15,536
To check on the progress
212
00:09:15,630 --> 00:09:17,389
Of the core-drilling operation.
213
00:09:17,540 --> 00:09:19,040
How deep are we?
214
00:09:19,134 --> 00:09:20,708
48's right there in front
of us,
215
00:09:20,802 --> 00:09:22,302
But nothing was expected.
216
00:09:22,454 --> 00:09:23,812
-Undisturbed stuff, right?
-Yeah, stuff.
217
00:09:24,973 --> 00:09:27,624
Marty:
What will this core bring
us to?
218
00:09:27,642 --> 00:09:29,626
48 to 58, it should be.
219
00:09:29,644 --> 00:09:31,403
-Another ten foot.
-Excuse me, gentlemen.
220
00:09:34,223 --> 00:09:35,481
-How deep?
-Thank you.
221
00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:36,891
That'd be a 55.
222
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,225
-55?
-Yeah.
223
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,969
So, right at 55 is, like,
224
00:09:39,988 --> 00:09:41,562
The bottom dropped right out
of her.
225
00:09:41,656 --> 00:09:43,582
-Really?
-So you, so you stopped?
226
00:09:43,809 --> 00:09:45,733
Craig:
Super soft or hollow,
completely?
227
00:09:45,827 --> 00:09:47,068
It felt hollow.
228
00:09:47,162 --> 00:09:48,494
Rick:
Definitely a void.
229
00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:49,588
Yeah.
230
00:09:49,815 --> 00:09:51,423
Oh, baby!
231
00:09:51,650 --> 00:09:53,650
Terry:
I really think
we're close to something.
232
00:09:53,668 --> 00:09:54,759
Marty:
Great!
233
00:09:59,157 --> 00:10:00,156
Tedford: Bottom dropped
right out of it.
234
00:10:00,175 --> 00:10:01,600
Might be a void down there.
235
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:05,178
Colten: The resistance just
dropped out of nowhere,
236
00:10:05,272 --> 00:10:06,938
Then we pulled it out.
237
00:10:07,165 --> 00:10:09,274
Narrator:
In the money pit area,
238
00:10:09,425 --> 00:10:12,335
While attempting to once again
penetrate a man-made tunnel
239
00:10:12,428 --> 00:10:14,946
Some 103 feet underground,
240
00:10:15,098 --> 00:10:18,599
The oak island team has
just drilled into a large void
241
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:21,745
At a much shallower depth
of just 55 feet.
242
00:10:23,106 --> 00:10:25,515
Tedford:
It felt hollow,
so I have to keep going.
243
00:10:25,533 --> 00:10:27,033
Terry:
Thanks, mike!
244
00:10:27,185 --> 00:10:29,127
That's interesting.
245
00:10:29,278 --> 00:10:30,962
The plot thickens,
but, of course,
246
00:10:31,114 --> 00:10:34,023
The tale is going to be told
with what comes next.
247
00:10:34,117 --> 00:10:35,133
We'll know something right here.
248
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:39,453
Marty:
I find this cavity
most interesting,
249
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:42,474
Because it's
well above the bedrock.
250
00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:44,643
All right!
251
00:10:44,794 --> 00:10:46,369
Marty:
It could have been created.
252
00:10:46,388 --> 00:10:48,647
-Here we go.
-Got her?
253
00:10:48,798 --> 00:10:49,648
So, we need to explore
this thing.
254
00:10:51,134 --> 00:10:53,059
Terry:
It's an anaconda for sure.
255
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:54,468
How deep are we?
256
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:56,229
Uh, stopped at 85.
257
00:10:56,381 --> 00:10:59,324
-So, we cut 30 feet.
-Yep.
258
00:10:59,551 --> 00:11:00,383
How much do you think
we're missing
259
00:11:00,402 --> 00:11:01,976
Out of that last 30 feet?
260
00:11:02,070 --> 00:11:03,787
I'd say approximately ten feet.
261
00:11:05,724 --> 00:11:08,408
So, we've got a huge
open section, right?
262
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,243
Oh, yeah.
263
00:11:10,395 --> 00:11:12,003
Terry:
That doesn't just happen.
264
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:14,822
Something has
happened down there.
265
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,675
Rick:
They have encountered
a ten-foot void
266
00:11:16,826 --> 00:11:19,752
At an elevation
that's shallower
267
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:23,164
Than previous discoveries,
so it obviously
268
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,182
Makes this area,
the garden shaft area,
269
00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:26,592
That much more intriguing.
270
00:11:26,687 --> 00:11:29,078
So, we're gonna try and get a
water sample out of this, craig?
271
00:11:29,172 --> 00:11:31,097
-I think we should.
-Yeah.
272
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:33,917
Rick:
The hope is that we can
determine
273
00:11:34,010 --> 00:11:36,510
Whether it was natural
or man-made.
274
00:11:36,530 --> 00:11:37,678
Steve g.: Last year,
do you remember we had
275
00:11:37,698 --> 00:11:39,439
The air pocket hole in ab-13?
276
00:11:39,591 --> 00:11:41,700
-Yeah.
-It happened at 60 feet.
277
00:11:41,927 --> 00:11:44,185
We start at 55, that just means
there's potentially
278
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:45,537
Some connectivity in this range.
279
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:49,523
(drill rumbling)
280
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,334
Whoa!
281
00:11:52,454 --> 00:11:54,195
Holy cow!
282
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:56,105
We've never seen that before.
283
00:11:56,124 --> 00:11:59,366
Narrator:
One year ago,
as the team drilled just
284
00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:01,277
Three feet west
of this location,
285
00:12:01,370 --> 00:12:03,296
At nearly the same depth,
286
00:12:03,448 --> 00:12:07,467
Massive amounts of air suddenly
rushed to the surface,
287
00:12:07,619 --> 00:12:11,062
As if the seal to a pressurized
cavern had been broken.
288
00:12:12,215 --> 00:12:14,548
I'd say we're close
to something.
289
00:12:14,568 --> 00:12:18,144
This could be the indication
of an offset chamber.
290
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,462
I mean, you know,
I don't know what else would be
291
00:12:19,481 --> 00:12:21,555
At 55 feet.
292
00:12:21,575 --> 00:12:22,723
You've always been
a proponent of that.
293
00:12:22,743 --> 00:12:24,650
I have been, yeah.
294
00:12:24,745 --> 00:12:27,579
Narrator: It has long been
a suspicion of marty's
295
00:12:27,730 --> 00:12:30,397
That whoever constructed
the booby-trapped money pit
296
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,066
May have also built a tunnel
297
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:34,401
That leads to a chamber
in dry ground,
298
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,980
Where the fabled
treasure is contained.
299
00:12:36,998 --> 00:12:38,739
Is it possible
300
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,075
That the team has just
discovered
301
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:43,911
More evidence
that this could be true?
302
00:12:44,005 --> 00:12:46,339
Marty:
I think the offset chamber
theory is the only thing,
303
00:12:46,491 --> 00:12:48,324
Really, that makes sense.
304
00:12:48,343 --> 00:12:50,176
If somebody wanted
to hide something where
305
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:51,828
Nobody would get it,
they would've dug this deep
306
00:12:51,846 --> 00:12:55,498
Illusion hole,
for lack of a better word.
307
00:12:55,517 --> 00:12:57,609
But the real treasure
would be offset somewhere.
308
00:12:58,445 --> 00:13:00,094
To my knowledge,
309
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,096
That's the shallowest
we've seen anything
310
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:04,282
That seems to be a void.
311
00:13:04,433 --> 00:13:08,011
And that cavity could be
connected to the garden shaft.
312
00:13:08,029 --> 00:13:09,603
Rick:
You know,
313
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:11,272
It certainly continues
314
00:13:11,366 --> 00:13:14,200
To provide a reason to be
315
00:13:14,352 --> 00:13:17,036
Excited about finding the tunnel
and figuring out
316
00:13:17,188 --> 00:13:19,130
What's going on down below.
317
00:13:19,282 --> 00:13:20,757
We just have
to keep plugging away.
318
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:27,639
Narrator:
Later that afternoon...
319
00:13:29,217 --> 00:13:32,702
Gary:
Do I have to tell you
how great lot 8 has been to us?
320
00:13:32,795 --> 00:13:34,813
There is a sea of flags in here.
321
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,207
...Gary drayton and jack begley
return to lot 8
322
00:13:38,226 --> 00:13:40,801
On the island's western drumlin.
323
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:44,138
That area where we found
the brooch
324
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,824
And the cloak pin.
325
00:13:45,975 --> 00:13:47,733
Just over there, mate.
326
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:51,054
It might just be
that lot 8 was some sort of area
327
00:13:51,147 --> 00:13:52,813
Of activity for some reason.
328
00:13:52,907 --> 00:13:54,057
So, let's get stuck in!
329
00:13:54,075 --> 00:13:56,167
Yeah, let's go!
330
00:13:56,319 --> 00:13:58,561
Narrator:
Following peter schneirla's
analysis
331
00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:00,563
Of the potentially ancient
cloak pin
332
00:14:00,582 --> 00:14:03,157
That was found nearby on lot 7,
333
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:06,586
Gary and jack are
hoping to uncover more clues
334
00:14:06,738 --> 00:14:08,829
To help identify just who
335
00:14:08,849 --> 00:14:11,757
May have visited this area
long ago
336
00:14:11,852 --> 00:14:14,410
And if anything of
great value was left behind.
337
00:14:14,503 --> 00:14:16,412
-(metal detector beeping)
-nice one.
338
00:14:16,431 --> 00:14:19,023
Just there, mate.
339
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:22,676
(grunts)
340
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:26,197
♪ ♪
341
00:14:29,444 --> 00:14:30,368
Thank you, sir.
342
00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:35,039
(beeping)
343
00:14:35,191 --> 00:14:37,375
Oh, still singing.
344
00:14:43,108 --> 00:14:44,382
Oh!
345
00:14:44,533 --> 00:14:47,034
So, it's in me hand.
346
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:48,961
Folded piece of copper,
maybe?

00:14:49,114 --> 00:14:51,222
Oh, it's definitely copper.
348
00:14:51,374 --> 00:14:53,966
Very unusual, obviously
two parts
349
00:14:54,119 --> 00:14:55,785
-Of the same thing.
-Mm-hmm.
350
00:14:55,878 --> 00:14:58,212
What stands out,
it's not really
351
00:14:58,306 --> 00:14:59,472
Heavy-duty, is it?
352
00:14:59,624 --> 00:15:01,232
But it's been used to crimp
353
00:15:01,384 --> 00:15:03,476
Over a material.
354
00:15:03,628 --> 00:15:05,978
I'm just trying to think of what
that material is
355
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,238
Inside there.
356
00:15:08,391 --> 00:15:10,074
It's soft.
357
00:15:10,301 --> 00:15:11,817
I feel like it's some sort of
a parchment
358
00:15:11,970 --> 00:15:13,227
Or paper.
359
00:15:13,321 --> 00:15:15,154
Very interesting, mate.
360
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:18,991
Narrator:
A possible copper
parchment scroll?
361
00:15:19,144 --> 00:15:23,237
In 1897, treasure hunters
frederick blair
362
00:15:23,331 --> 00:15:26,649
And william chappell drilled
into what they described
363
00:15:26,668 --> 00:15:28,334
As a seven-foot-high vault
364
00:15:28,486 --> 00:15:32,246
At a depth of 153 feet
in the money pit.
365
00:15:32,340 --> 00:15:34,507
Upon extracting their drill bit,
366
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:37,510
They were astonished to find
traces of gold
367
00:15:37,662 --> 00:15:39,270
And a small piece of parchment
368
00:15:39,497 --> 00:15:41,681
With the letters "vi" written
on it.
369
00:15:41,833 --> 00:15:44,258
This discovery made some believe
370
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:46,002
That the oak island treasure
371
00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:48,780
May consist
of not only precious metals
372
00:15:49,007 --> 00:15:52,617
But also sacred
historical documents.
373
00:15:52,768 --> 00:15:56,270
Could this believed
parchment scroll found on lot 8
374
00:15:56,364 --> 00:16:00,349
Be related to the other
pre-16th century discoveries
375
00:16:00,368 --> 00:16:02,702
The team has made in the area?
376
00:16:02,854 --> 00:16:06,965
And if so, might it represent
another critical clue
377
00:16:07,192 --> 00:16:09,875
That may help solve
the oak island mystery?
378
00:16:10,028 --> 00:16:12,712
We haven't found
anything like this before.
379
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:15,531
No, I like different,
mate, and this is different.
380
00:16:15,624 --> 00:16:19,126
This has got an old feel
about it, as well.
381
00:16:19,220 --> 00:16:21,145
And the ct scanner
382
00:16:21,372 --> 00:16:23,630
Will tell us the story
of this find.
383
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:26,300
It could be
something very important.
384
00:16:26,394 --> 00:16:28,044
I'm going to be careful
385
00:16:28,137 --> 00:16:30,229
With this, put it in the bag.
386
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:33,140
With all the finds
that we recovered on lot 8,
387
00:16:33,234 --> 00:16:37,403
What that tells me is, this
far away from the money pit,
388
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:40,147
There was some
pretty interesting activity.
389
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,648
Let's keep moving.
390
00:16:41,743 --> 00:16:43,392
Next flags are over here.
391
00:16:43,411 --> 00:16:45,169
And this has given me hope
392
00:16:45,321 --> 00:16:47,747
That this area
would have been used
393
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:49,173
To bury treasure.
394
00:16:50,826 --> 00:16:52,343
All right,
see what this one says.
395
00:16:52,495 --> 00:16:54,253
-(beeping)
-here we go.
396
00:16:54,405 --> 00:16:55,421
(beeping)
397
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,256
Oh, that's sexy.
398
00:16:57,408 --> 00:16:59,142
Just there.
399
00:17:02,413 --> 00:17:04,022
(beep)
400
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:11,921
(jack grunts)
401
00:17:11,939 --> 00:17:14,866
Gary:
Right, this is gonna be a
good find, mate, I can feel it.
402
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:17,869
See if you got it out.
403
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:21,188
(beeping)
404
00:17:21,207 --> 00:17:23,616
Yeah, all right!
405
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:26,102
It's out.
406
00:17:26,195 --> 00:17:28,713
-Come on!
-(beeping continues)
407
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:33,700
-(rapid beeping)
-just there, oh!
408
00:17:33,795 --> 00:17:36,554
Wow, look at this!
409
00:17:40,952 --> 00:17:42,285
Jack:
Is that iron?
410
00:17:42,378 --> 00:17:43,636
Gary:
It looks like iron,
411
00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:45,045
But it might not be iron.
412
00:17:45,065 --> 00:17:47,214
It might be something different.
413
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:51,977
Narrator: On lot 8, on the
western side of oak island,
414
00:17:52,072 --> 00:17:54,054
Gary drayton
and jack begley have just found
415
00:17:54,148 --> 00:17:56,240
A potentially important clue.
416
00:17:56,392 --> 00:17:57,408
It's got that curve on it.
417
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,485
Maybe a bell.
418
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:04,140
-I mean, bells were curved.
-Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
419
00:18:04,158 --> 00:18:05,991
Yeah, the other bell metal.
420
00:18:06,086 --> 00:18:07,827
Gary:
That bell metal
that we found on lot 4.
421
00:18:07,979 --> 00:18:09,161
Jack:
We'll have to have it
tested.
422
00:18:09,314 --> 00:18:10,588
Even though it's bell metal,
423
00:18:10,739 --> 00:18:11,664
It could be used for other
things.
424
00:18:11,816 --> 00:18:13,925
Yep.
425
00:18:14,076 --> 00:18:16,502
Narrator:
After the team found
a fragment of bell metal
426
00:18:16,654 --> 00:18:18,912
One year ago on lot 4...
427
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:20,581
I would say it's older, yeah.
428
00:18:20,675 --> 00:18:23,175
...Scientific analysis performed
429
00:18:23,328 --> 00:18:26,587
By dr. Christa brosseau
suggested it may be
430
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,514
An important clue to help
identify
431
00:18:28,666 --> 00:18:31,334
Who may have visited oak island
prior to
432
00:18:31,352 --> 00:18:33,111
The discovery of the money pit.
433
00:18:33,262 --> 00:18:35,596
You'll see at the last sentence
there,
434
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,931
It says, "bell metal was used
to construct
435
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:40,693
Early cannons
by the spanish and portuguese."
436
00:18:40,845 --> 00:18:42,453
Yeah.
437
00:18:42,605 --> 00:18:44,938
Narrator:
Later in the year,
438
00:18:44,958 --> 00:18:47,516
Rick, doug and members
of the team
439
00:18:47,535 --> 00:18:49,852
Traveled to portugal
to investigate a number
440
00:18:49,871 --> 00:18:51,462
Of locations that once served
441
00:18:51,689 --> 00:18:53,372
As strongholds for the
portuguese sect
442
00:18:53,524 --> 00:18:54,966
Of the knights templar
443
00:18:55,193 --> 00:18:56,968
Between the 12th
and 16th centuries.
444
00:18:58,212 --> 00:18:59,786
There, they were shown
445
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,456
A number of fascinating clues
possibly
446
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:05,534
Connecting the templars
to the oak island mystery.
447
00:19:05,628 --> 00:19:07,961
-Oh, wow.
-That's impressive.
448
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:10,815
Narrator:
These included a carving
449
00:19:10,966 --> 00:19:12,391
That matched one
reportedly found
450
00:19:12,543 --> 00:19:15,486
On the legendary 90 foot stone,
451
00:19:15,638 --> 00:19:18,656
A stone road
that was nearly identical
452
00:19:18,807 --> 00:19:20,658
To the one the team
discovered in the swamp...
453
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:24,720
...And a 15th century cannon
that matched
454
00:19:24,739 --> 00:19:27,314
The caliber of a believed
portuguese stone shot
455
00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:30,409
That was unearthed
in the money pit two years ago.
456
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:31,460
Oh, look at that.
457
00:19:33,398 --> 00:19:35,247
How cool would that be?
458
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:38,584
If this is bell metal
and it matches that bell metal
459
00:19:38,736 --> 00:19:40,586
That we found on lot 4?
460
00:19:40,738 --> 00:19:42,180
It'd be a great connection
between lot 8
461
00:19:42,331 --> 00:19:44,348
-And lot 4.
-Yeah.
462
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:48,411
Narrator:
Is it possible that gary
and jack have just found
463
00:19:48,429 --> 00:19:50,763
More evidence that the origins
464
00:19:50,915 --> 00:19:52,581
Of the oak island mystery
could be linked
465
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,342
To the portuguese sect
of the knights templar?
466
00:19:55,436 --> 00:19:56,694
Okay, I'm going to bag it.
467
00:19:58,439 --> 00:20:00,272
Maybe this is it.
468
00:20:00,425 --> 00:20:03,426
-Yeah.
-And we'll put that there.
469
00:20:03,444 --> 00:20:05,703
Okay, let's go.
470
00:20:10,526 --> 00:20:12,693
Narrator:
The following day,
471
00:20:12,787 --> 00:20:14,378
As the team continues
472
00:20:14,530 --> 00:20:16,288
Drilling in the money pit
area...
473
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:18,532
This is that, kind of,
a destroyed, bedded clay,
474
00:20:18,626 --> 00:20:20,109
Really, right here.
475
00:20:20,127 --> 00:20:21,868
Seddon:
This looks good.
476
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:23,796
Perfect.
477
00:20:23,948 --> 00:20:28,041
Narrator: ...Jack begley arrives
on lot 32, west of the swamp
478
00:20:28,135 --> 00:20:32,212
Along with geophysical
scanning experts robert seddon
479
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:35,191
And keith hollender of
phoenix aerial production.
480
00:20:36,627 --> 00:20:39,311
In the wake of numerous ancient
artifacts,
481
00:20:39,464 --> 00:20:42,648
As well as the stone road
and pathways that the team
482
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:45,559
Have unearthed
over the last two years...
483
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:48,487
So, we're on lot 32 right now.
484
00:20:48,639 --> 00:20:50,806
...Rick, marty and craig
485
00:20:50,825 --> 00:20:52,583
Have commissioned robert
and keith to
486
00:20:52,810 --> 00:20:54,994
Conduct an island-wide
lidar scan
487
00:20:55,146 --> 00:20:56,754
To look for other features
488
00:20:56,981 --> 00:21:00,574
That could help solve
the 227-year-old mystery.
489
00:21:00,593 --> 00:21:03,319
Now, if there's
a structure or trail,
490
00:21:03,412 --> 00:21:05,096
You guys should be able to pick
up on that
491
00:21:05,323 --> 00:21:06,931
-With your lidar, right?
-Right, definitely.
492
00:21:07,082 --> 00:21:09,658
So, the lidar will be able
to create the scan,
493
00:21:09,752 --> 00:21:11,602
See if there's
any hidden trails,
494
00:21:11,754 --> 00:21:13,920
Any cobblestone trails, that's
underneath all this foliage.
495
00:21:13,940 --> 00:21:17,591
It'll pick up anomalies,
metal underneath the ground.
496
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:19,518
We'll be able to
tell if there's metal,
497
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:22,688
What types of metal they are,
and be able to map that out.
498
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:24,615
That seems like exactly
the type of technology
499
00:21:24,842 --> 00:21:26,617
We need because
hopefully it can lead us
500
00:21:26,844 --> 00:21:29,011
To a trail or area
that we can search
501
00:21:29,030 --> 00:21:31,030
With the metal detector
and recover more artifacts.
502
00:21:31,182 --> 00:21:32,456
-Great.
-Let's get started.
503
00:21:32,683 --> 00:21:33,457
-Robert: Sounds good.
-Keith: Great.
504
00:21:35,536 --> 00:21:38,612
Narrator:
Commonly used in archaeological
and geographical surveys,
505
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:42,041
Light detection
and ranging, or lidar,
506
00:21:42,193 --> 00:21:44,969
Is a scanning technology
that emits rapid
507
00:21:45,196 --> 00:21:48,306
Laser pulses,
which reflect off the ground.
508
00:21:48,457 --> 00:21:52,626
The collected data is then
used to generate a 3d model
509
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,721
Of the area, revealing
potential man-made features
510
00:21:55,873 --> 00:21:57,815
Not visible to the naked eye,
511
00:21:58,042 --> 00:21:59,966
As well as objects
and structures
512
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:03,062
That lie buried
near the surface.
513
00:22:03,214 --> 00:22:05,230
Okay, guys, I got the map
uploaded to the drone.
514
00:22:05,383 --> 00:22:06,899
It's gonna create a grid.
515
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:08,217
We're ready to take off
and let it do its thing.
516
00:22:08,235 --> 00:22:09,643
Okay, we'll stand back.
517
00:22:09,737 --> 00:22:10,953
Stand back and we'll get going.
518
00:22:12,406 --> 00:22:13,906
Rick:
The objective
is that we can connect
519
00:22:14,058 --> 00:22:17,484
A road-like
feature to a...
520
00:22:17,578 --> 00:22:20,412
"x" marks the spot location,

Possibly a tunnel
connected to the garden shaft,

00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:12,565
Sandy:
Usually, a tell-tale
that it's, you know,
694
00:29:12,659 --> 00:29:13,751
Probably not a coin.
695
00:29:15,329 --> 00:29:18,756
It could be a barter piece,
it could be...
696
00:29:18,907 --> 00:29:22,926
Do you mean like a,
like a trade token type thing?
697
00:29:23,153 --> 00:29:24,669
Well, I mean,
anything made out of metal
698
00:29:24,822 --> 00:29:26,321
Was used for barter, right?
699
00:29:26,414 --> 00:29:28,006
-Yeah.
-And that's where coins
700
00:29:28,158 --> 00:29:31,660
Derived from, you know,
producing, you know,
701
00:29:31,678 --> 00:29:33,937
Something that
was easily transferred
702
00:29:34,164 --> 00:29:36,498
That was made out of
copper, silver, or gold.
703
00:29:36,591 --> 00:29:38,942
This would be no different.
704
00:29:39,094 --> 00:29:41,779
Let's weigh it and see where
it fits in on a scale.
705
00:29:41,930 --> 00:29:44,856
If it was some
kind of trade piece,
706
00:29:45,009 --> 00:29:46,599
What would be
the weight on it?
707
00:29:46,619 --> 00:29:48,768
It'll be in increments
of grams, normally,
708
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:50,788
So...
709
00:29:52,699 --> 00:29:55,350
And this piece is four grams
right on the button.
710
00:29:55,369 --> 00:29:58,537
What's unusual is, you know,
711
00:29:58,689 --> 00:30:02,024
It's sort of an
exact weight of four grams.
712
00:30:02,042 --> 00:30:04,209
And it's very puzzling,
713
00:30:04,361 --> 00:30:06,862
The way the edges
are done on this.
714
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,197
Someone took a lot of time,
715
00:30:09,216 --> 00:30:12,125
Probably, making that
four grams, and it's...
716
00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:13,535
Yeah, I mean,
potentially,
717
00:30:13,628 --> 00:30:15,370
It is, you know,
potentially
718
00:30:15,463 --> 00:30:17,797
A barter piece
that would have
719
00:30:17,817 --> 00:30:20,709
Value for that amount
of copper at the time, right?
720
00:30:20,802 --> 00:30:23,469
So, it would have
monetary value.
721
00:30:23,564 --> 00:30:25,138
Gary:
How old is it?
722
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:26,990
It's 500 years old, at least.
723
00:30:27,217 --> 00:30:29,159
Wow.
724
00:30:29,386 --> 00:30:32,737
To date it more accurately
would be really tough,
725
00:30:32,890 --> 00:30:35,057
But because of the composition,
it's definitely
726
00:30:35,075 --> 00:30:37,150
That period or earlier.
727
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:40,003
It's absolutely
brilliant news, mate.
728
00:30:40,230 --> 00:30:43,565
-I mean, this is fantastic.
-Yeah.
729
00:30:43,584 --> 00:30:45,417
Charles:
When you mentioned,
you know, the 1500s,
730
00:30:45,569 --> 00:30:47,903
My mind immediately
went to the portuguese.
731
00:30:47,921 --> 00:30:49,404
I mean, they were
incredible seafarers.
732
00:30:49,497 --> 00:30:50,906
They went all over the world.
733
00:30:50,924 --> 00:30:52,665
Oh, yeah, yeah.
734
00:30:52,685 --> 00:30:55,352
Narrator:
A possible barter token
735
00:30:55,579 --> 00:30:58,080
Dating back
500 years or more?
736
00:30:58,173 --> 00:31:00,265
If so, could it be connected
737
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,268
To the other ancient
discoveries the team
738
00:31:03,420 --> 00:31:05,587
Has made on the
western side of the island?
739
00:31:05,606 --> 00:31:07,513
Such as the bunk hook
740
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,424
Designed for
hoisting heavy cargo?
741
00:31:09,517 --> 00:31:11,776
Or the fragments
of bell metal,
742
00:31:11,871 --> 00:31:14,371
Which may also be
of portuguese origin?
743
00:31:16,542 --> 00:31:18,876
It's very unusual,
and I think,
744
00:31:19,027 --> 00:31:22,212
You know, more
research is needed.
745
00:31:22,364 --> 00:31:23,714
Definitely, and I'm going to
share this news with the guys.
746
00:31:23,865 --> 00:31:25,382
They'll want to hear this.
747
00:31:25,609 --> 00:31:27,292
-Thank you so much.
-Sandy: All right.
748
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:29,052
-Great to see you, gary.
-Gary: And you, mate.
749
00:31:29,204 --> 00:31:30,053
-See you again.
-All right.
750
00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:36,284
Rick: I think we need
to find a different way
751
00:31:36,303 --> 00:31:38,637
To figure out what's happening
underground in the money pit.
752
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:40,731
There is a suspicion
that there is a tunnel
753
00:31:40,882 --> 00:31:42,900
Underneath the garden shaft--
hey!
754
00:31:43,051 --> 00:31:44,809
Hi, good,
you're all here.
755
00:31:44,962 --> 00:31:46,978
Narrator: In the oak island
research center,
756
00:31:47,131 --> 00:31:50,649
As rick, marty, craig,
and other members of the team
757
00:31:50,801 --> 00:31:53,744
Meet regarding next steps
for potentially investigating
758
00:31:53,971 --> 00:31:55,820
The garden shaft
in the money pit area,
759
00:31:55,973 --> 00:32:00,083
They are joined by gary drayton
and charles barkhouse.
760
00:32:00,310 --> 00:32:02,644
Marty:
Gary, what's
with the grin, buddy?
761
00:32:02,663 --> 00:32:05,071
Some great news
from sandy campbell,
762
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:06,423
The coin expert.
763
00:32:06,574 --> 00:32:08,150
It was about this artifact
764
00:32:08,168 --> 00:32:10,510
That jack and I
recovered on lot 7.
765
00:32:11,597 --> 00:32:13,488
It's arsenical bronze.
766
00:32:13,581 --> 00:32:16,174
I was adamant it
was some kind of coin.
767
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,160
Now, it isn't a coin,
768
00:32:18,253 --> 00:32:20,679
But I'm definitely
not disappointed,
769
00:32:20,831 --> 00:32:22,439
Because according to sandy,
770
00:32:22,590 --> 00:32:25,442
It's a trade
or a barter piece.
771
00:32:26,853 --> 00:32:28,336
Pass that around, mate.
772
00:32:28,355 --> 00:32:30,839
The weight on it is four grams,
773
00:32:30,932 --> 00:32:32,950
So it'd have been
used like currency.
774
00:32:33,101 --> 00:32:35,118
-It's a trade piece, though.
-Yep.
775
00:32:35,270 --> 00:32:36,620
Marty:
It's coin-like.
776
00:32:36,847 --> 00:32:38,513
It's just not
government issued, right?
777
00:32:38,606 --> 00:32:39,864
It would have been some
merchant or something.
778
00:32:39,959 --> 00:32:41,291
Gary:
Yep.
779
00:32:41,443 --> 00:32:42,867
Arsenic, that's
an older method.
780
00:32:42,962 --> 00:32:47,297
That mixture went out of
style in the early 1500s.
781
00:32:47,524 --> 00:32:51,301
Doug:
The archaeological record
shows that it was
782
00:32:51,528 --> 00:32:54,972
Used as far back as
the fifth millennium bc.
783
00:32:55,123 --> 00:32:57,048
(chuckles)
784
00:32:57,201 --> 00:32:59,977
So, it's either old
or it's really old.
785
00:33:00,128 --> 00:33:01,886
I'm, like, gobsmacked now.
786
00:33:02,039 --> 00:33:03,705
Marty:
But I like
your comment, doug.
787
00:33:03,798 --> 00:33:06,558
It's either old
or really, really old.
788
00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:08,393
Doug:
The question is,
what is it doing here?
789
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:10,470
-That's what we
still have to find out.
-Yep.
790
00:33:10,489 --> 00:33:12,731
Rick:
I'm amazed at this date.
791
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:14,825
Could one infer that
792
00:33:15,052 --> 00:33:18,144
Templars or some
other entity or persons
793
00:33:18,238 --> 00:33:20,646
May have come long ago
to do some work on oak island?
794
00:33:20,666 --> 00:33:22,574
It's possible.
795
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:25,410
Does the timeline allow
for that to have happened?
796
00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:27,412
Certainly, it does.
797
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:31,157
The hope is that we can find
more of this type of item.
798
00:33:31,251 --> 00:33:33,752
This is a really cool piece.
799
00:33:33,846 --> 00:33:38,073
Concrete evidence of an ancient
artifact here on this island.
800
00:33:38,166 --> 00:33:39,999
Well done--
but there is something
801
00:33:40,019 --> 00:33:41,852
We want to tell you,
because it's a little bit
802
00:33:42,003 --> 00:33:44,187
Romantic in a sense, about
what we might do this year.
803
00:33:44,414 --> 00:33:46,765
-You'll like it.
-You'll like it a lot, charles.
804
00:33:46,917 --> 00:33:49,601
Doug, why don't you
take this over here?
805
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:52,696
Yeah, there's a canadian mining
company by the name of dumas.
806
00:33:52,923 --> 00:33:55,106
We've been in initial
discussions with them.
807
00:33:55,259 --> 00:33:57,108
And they believe
that they could come in
808
00:33:57,202 --> 00:33:59,761
And open up and repair
the garden shaft for us.
809
00:33:59,854 --> 00:34:02,597
-Gary: Wow.
-Charles: Wow.
810
00:34:02,616 --> 00:34:04,524
Marty: We're gonna re-crib
the garden shaft for all kinds
811
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:05,784
Of reasons-- because
of the gold in the water,
812
00:34:05,936 --> 00:34:07,377
Because of the air bubbles.
813
00:34:07,604 --> 00:34:09,621
We don't know what
the garden shaft is.
814
00:34:09,715 --> 00:34:11,122
It's just mysterious,
it's enigmatic.
815
00:34:11,275 --> 00:34:13,124
It could be the location
816
00:34:13,277 --> 00:34:16,628
Of the original money pit
lost to all the searchers.
817
00:34:16,780 --> 00:34:19,114
So, it needs to be
understood better.
818
00:34:19,207 --> 00:34:22,041
-How cool would that be?
-That's exciting.
819
00:34:22,061 --> 00:34:24,728
You gave us a wow,
we just gave you a wow.
820
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:27,289
That was a big--
that's a big wow.
821
00:34:27,382 --> 00:34:28,714
Well, we're not sure yet, right?
822
00:34:28,809 --> 00:34:30,141
Doug:
No, it's preliminary.
823
00:34:30,294 --> 00:34:31,568
They're willing
to meet with us
824
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,144
As early as tomorrow
to discuss
825
00:34:33,297 --> 00:34:34,979
Taking this project forward.
826
00:34:35,132 --> 00:34:36,556
We're here.
827
00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:38,742
-Okay, we'll set it up.
-Set it up.
828
00:34:38,969 --> 00:34:42,412
That's good enough for me
for one day, let's go.
829

Rick:
I think we're all really excited
832
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,404
About the garden shaft.
833
00:34:51,498 --> 00:34:53,315
Craig, why the garden shaft?
834
00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:54,758
What interests you about it?
835
00:34:54,909 --> 00:34:57,001
The water sample
had gold in it.

With our operational

860
00:36:04,404 --> 00:36:06,404
I do have
a presentation that might
861
00:36:06,556 --> 00:36:09,148
Help to illustrate
that methodology.
862
00:36:09,168 --> 00:36:12,335
First, there is an existing
863
00:36:12,487 --> 00:36:15,821
Ten-by-ten wood-grip
shaft to approximately
864
00:36:15,916 --> 00:36:18,566
77 and a half feet depth.
865
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:21,736
The objective here is
to refurbish this shaft
866
00:36:21,755 --> 00:36:24,072
And make it safe
for further exploration
867
00:36:24,165 --> 00:36:26,574
Along the length of the shaft.
868
00:36:26,593 --> 00:36:29,411
We are going
to expose the shaft
869
00:36:29,504 --> 00:36:32,914
Collar and build
our foundation.
870
00:36:32,933 --> 00:36:35,007
We will muck out
the backfill from
871
00:36:35,101 --> 00:36:37,527
The existing floor of the shaft.
872
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:38,528
Tony:
Our intention is
873
00:36:38,755 --> 00:36:40,846
To re-line the shaft
874
00:36:40,866 --> 00:36:42,440
As it currently exists
875
00:36:42,592 --> 00:36:45,443
In order to preserve
what was there.
876
00:36:45,595 --> 00:36:48,371
And then also,
what we're going to do is
877
00:36:48,598 --> 00:36:51,857
Injecting grout into
the surrounding soils to
878
00:36:51,952 --> 00:36:55,545
Slow down any water
infiltration into the shaft.
879
00:36:55,772 --> 00:36:57,956
Cameron:
That will ensure the long-term
880
00:36:58,108 --> 00:37:00,550
Stability of this
shaft excavation.
881
00:37:01,778 --> 00:37:03,369
Marty:
Brilliant.
882
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:04,963
Cameron:
We will continue to construct
883
00:37:05,057 --> 00:37:07,298
The manway section
884
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:11,119
To make this shaft accessible
again for personnel.
885
00:37:11,212 --> 00:37:13,788
Marty:
Now, wait a minute.
886
00:37:13,807 --> 00:37:15,974
Are we, the fellowship
members here,
887
00:37:16,126 --> 00:37:17,792
Gonna be able to
actually go underground
888
00:37:17,885 --> 00:37:20,144
In that shaft
once it's complete?
889
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,313
-Yep.
-Marty: Wow.
890
00:37:22,466 --> 00:37:24,074
This is really cool.
891
00:37:30,082 --> 00:37:31,564
Marty: Are we,
the fellowship members here,
892
00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:33,083
Going to be able
to actually go underground
893
00:37:33,234 --> 00:37:35,568
In that shaft
once it's complete?
894
00:37:35,587 --> 00:37:36,828
-Cameron: Yep.
-Marty: Brilliant.
895
00:37:36,980 --> 00:37:38,146
Rick:
That sounds perfect.
896
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,315
Narrator:
In the war room,
897
00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:42,817
Rick, marty, craig,
and members of the team
898
00:37:42,910 --> 00:37:44,819
Are meeting with
representatives of
899
00:37:44,912 --> 00:37:46,671
Dumas contracting limited.
900
00:37:46,823 --> 00:37:49,491
So, as we descend
into the garden shaft,
901
00:37:49,584 --> 00:37:51,268
We can guide you
and bring you
902
00:37:51,419 --> 00:37:53,919
-Down into the excavation.
-Okay.
903
00:37:54,014 --> 00:37:55,755
Doug:
I think the chance to
come down and explore
904
00:37:55,774 --> 00:37:59,109
That shaft is, is one
of the most important things.
905
00:37:59,336 --> 00:38:01,185
Yep.
906
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,262
Steve g.:
We've encountered
what we deem to be
907
00:38:03,356 --> 00:38:05,690
Potential offset chambers
908
00:38:05,842 --> 00:38:07,859
Or voids in the ground,
so we're starting to
909
00:38:08,011 --> 00:38:09,602
Collect some
data for you guys
910
00:38:09,696 --> 00:38:11,513
And maybe give
you some targets.
911
00:38:11,531 --> 00:38:13,773
Cameron: That's fantastic
because we are going
912
00:38:13,867 --> 00:38:15,292
To be probe drilling,
913
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:17,368
As we descend
into the shaft,
914
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:20,705
To recognize and quantify
where those voids exist.
915
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:22,857
Marty:
Okay. All right.
916
00:38:22,876 --> 00:38:24,467
Let's say we hit something,
a void, whatever.
917
00:38:24,694 --> 00:38:26,970
Something at, say,
I don't know, 50 feet,
918
00:38:27,121 --> 00:38:28,863
And we want
to tunnel out from there.
919
00:38:28,882 --> 00:38:30,882
Would we be able to do that?
920
00:38:31,034 --> 00:38:32,884
To answer your question, marty,
921
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:35,386
We can go in any direction,
at any elevation.
922
00:38:35,539 --> 00:38:37,555
Okay, that's great.
923
00:38:37,707 --> 00:38:39,799
Really cool.
924
00:38:39,893 --> 00:38:43,061
Narrator:
In order to allow members
of the oak island team
925
00:38:43,213 --> 00:38:45,897
To descend and explore
the garden shaft,
926
00:38:46,049 --> 00:38:48,474
Representatives from
dumas will construct
927
00:38:48,568 --> 00:38:52,554
A concrete foundation around
the existing structure,
928
00:38:52,572 --> 00:38:55,907
Excavate it with a
massive crane and hammer grab,
929
00:38:56,001 --> 00:38:58,835
And then reconstruct it
with new, waterproof,
930
00:38:58,986 --> 00:39:02,063
Wooden timbers down
to a depth of at least
931
00:39:02,082 --> 00:39:06,676
77 feet, the believed
total depth of the shaft.
932
00:39:06,828 --> 00:39:09,846
Cameron:
The objective, again,
is to rehabilitate...
933
00:39:09,997 --> 00:39:12,090
Rick:
The garden shaft
rehab project will provide
934
00:39:12,242 --> 00:39:14,351
Several unique opportunities.
935
00:39:14,502 --> 00:39:17,412
You can either tunnel
or expand the shaft.
936
00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:19,097
You can go
deeper with the shaft.
937
00:39:19,191 --> 00:39:21,249
To me, it's always about
938
00:39:21,342 --> 00:39:22,917
The eyes and boots approach.
939
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:24,861
And we will
have a legitimate,
940
00:39:25,088 --> 00:39:26,846
For the first time,
eyes and boots
941
00:39:26,940 --> 00:39:28,698
Approach to the money pit.
942
00:39:28,925 --> 00:39:31,684
From start to finish,
what's the estimated
943
00:39:31,778 --> 00:39:33,703
Time to completion?
944
00:39:33,930 --> 00:39:35,430
Cameron:
Right now,
we're forecasting
945
00:39:35,448 --> 00:39:37,782
Approximately 50 days
of in-the-hole
946
00:39:37,934 --> 00:39:39,709
Rehabilitation
work to get us
947
00:39:39,861 --> 00:39:42,453
-To 77 and a half feet.
-Perfect.
948
00:39:42,606 --> 00:39:45,123
We've never
been able to go underground
949
00:39:45,275 --> 00:39:46,958
In the money pit,
and yet everyone before us
950
00:39:47,052 --> 00:39:49,794
For 200 and some years
have been underground.
951
00:39:49,946 --> 00:39:51,554
But that's an aside.
952
00:39:51,781 --> 00:39:54,449
We believe that the
garden shaft will supply us
953
00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:58,544
With some greater
understanding of the money pit,
954
00:39:58,638 --> 00:40:01,956
What has been done not only
in the previous 227 years
955
00:40:01,975 --> 00:40:03,900
But perhaps what
was done originally,
956
00:40:04,127 --> 00:40:06,794
What we call
the depositional phase.
957
00:40:06,888 --> 00:40:09,464
Marty:
The idea of rehabilitating
a shaft so we can get
958
00:40:09,482 --> 00:40:11,633
Underground is exciting
959
00:40:11,726 --> 00:40:13,076
Because actually being there,
960
00:40:13,303 --> 00:40:14,911
Actually getting down
and seeing things
961
00:40:15,062 --> 00:40:17,414
Is always the best,
the best data.
962
00:40:17,565 --> 00:40:20,825
And I think we can trace
the gold in the water.
963
00:40:20,977 --> 00:40:23,645
Then we can find
the treasure if it's here
964
00:40:23,663 --> 00:40:25,997
And figure out what
exactly happened on this island.
965
00:40:26,091 --> 00:40:28,258
I think that we need to
get down under the ground.
966
00:40:28,485 --> 00:40:30,334
-That's where I'm at.
-Rick: Absolutely.
967
00:40:30,487 --> 00:40:32,244
Marty:
Perfect, guys.
968
00:40:32,264 --> 00:40:34,989
I sense the enthusiasm,
you guys are eager
969
00:40:35,008 --> 00:40:37,750
To get going, that's great--
let's go find something.
970
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:40,103
-Right on.
-Yeah, well, look.
971
00:40:40,254 --> 00:40:41,345
Come on out
and start making a shaft.
972
00:40:41,498 --> 00:40:43,181
Let's go.
973
00:40:43,333 --> 00:40:44,849
All right, thank you, guys.
974
00:40:44,943 --> 00:40:47,235
-Marty: Thank you.
-Rick: Thank you all.
975

Narrator:
For rick, marty,
craig, and the team,
976
00:40:52,934 --> 00:40:55,009
The clues continue to mount,
977
00:40:55,102 --> 00:40:57,102
Suggesting
the truth behind
978
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:59,347
The oak island mystery
is more profound
979
00:40:59,365 --> 00:41:02,107
Than anyone thought possible.
980
00:41:02,127 --> 00:41:05,110
Now, as they prepare
for their most
981
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:08,781
Ambitious excavation ever
attempted in the money pit,
982
00:41:08,875 --> 00:41:12,469
Will the fabled riches
finally be within their reach?
983
00:41:14,047 --> 00:41:16,364
Or will the mysterious forces
984
00:41:16,382 --> 00:41:19,458
That are as legendary
as the treasure itself
985
00:41:19,552 --> 00:41:23,538
Once again intervene?
986
00:41:23,556 --> 00:41:26,966
There's only
one way to find out.
987
00:41:27,060 --> 00:41:29,227
It is time to dig.

We clipped the edge
of a beam.

This might be
completely unknown.
