00:00Nick's board on the western side oh
00:04Look what I'm getting here
00:07So I've done a CT scan you can see it faintly right here
00:11We'll all be damned. Yeah, that might tell a story
00:17Probably into the void if there's the one thing he could have it in that core barrel right now. Yeah, there you go
00:26There is an island in the North Atlantic
00:30Where people have been looking for an incredible treasure for more than 200 years
00:36So far they have found a stone slab with strange symbols carved into it man-made workings that date to medieval times and
00:46A lead cross whose origin may be connected to the Knights Templar
00:52to date six men have died trying to solve the mystery and
00:56And according to legend one more will have to die
01:02Before the treasure can be found
01:05Okay team this is the part of this whole venture. I like honestly the most
01:21Another bright morning has dawned on oak island and in the laboratory
01:26Rick and Marty Lagina and members of their team are gathered to learn more about a recent discovery
01:34Katchi and I found something that we thought was really really cool
01:38It's going for sure and we're about to find out what exactly this is
01:42One week ago Marty and Katya Drake discovered a coin with a curious design on lot five
01:55And in the same area where the team previously found five Roman coins that could be as much as
02:022,000 years old
02:04So yeah, so I've done an XRF so compositionally
02:09It's copper based there is iron there is calcium, but you see there's a silver content also and that's a good sign that usually indicates
02:19an older alloy
02:21That's amazing
02:23Emma says the composition of the coin has silver and so I think it could be very valuable everything about this once again
02:31Makes you feel like jeez. I'm not wasting my time and money here
02:35This is this is for real. I popped it into the CT scan to get a better look at it
02:40Oh
02:42That's ancient
02:44Oh my god
02:47So you have the figure standing left and we do have the lettering office in A
02:55Which is N for novum, so ninth and so tonight workshop
03:00Can't tell which region because the the mint mark is gone, but that would be like in the Roman vicinity
03:08And if you take a look at the other side
03:10So you have the head bust facing, right?
03:12And you can see it faintly right here looks like a crown and
03:17A really distinctive pointed like on a really sharp nose sharp chin and these features
03:23You only see them with claudius the second
03:26so
03:27you have
03:29The workshops you have the composition and then you have
03:34Claudius the second and that puts it more towards
03:38Like 250 to 70 80. So this is a roman coin. Yes
03:48Without a doubt without a doubt
03:52Marcus aurelius claudius also known as claudius the second
03:56Reigned as the emperor of rome from 268 to 270 ad
04:03The team has never found evidence of habitation on oak island dating back to that era
04:09So, how did the six roman coins get here?
04:13We'll all be damned. Yeah, we have very few certainties on this island. Well, there's one that is a roman coin
04:19I mean, we used to say it with a little bit of hesitation like, you know
04:23We're having a hard time believing in ourselves, but we we can't discard it anymore
04:28It does have a high surrounding silicon layer
04:32Does that imply it's been there a long time?
04:34Yeah, how about that?
04:36What were the other metals that uh, dr. Spooner
04:40Was finding in the water in the money pit lead tin copper and zinc
04:44So those are all elements that were found in this coin the silver pit blade of coins 1367 to 1383 and
04:52has similar elements too
04:55The fact that the composition of the so-called portuguese pit blade o coin and the roman coins
05:01Matched the traces of precious metals that were detected deep in the money pit area raises an important question
05:09Could they all be related?
05:11I have always believed that what happened here in okion happened long ago
05:16and so it's not out of the bounds to
05:20Suggest that this might be part of the treasure, right?
05:23Yeah
05:24Mm-hmm
05:25The interesting thing now is
05:27When was it deposited?
05:28Yeah, exactly
05:29That is what would be interesting to know
05:32I think sandy campbell can certainly tell us something about that coin
05:37We should have him look into this further
05:39Well as you often tell me about if that's a great fine book
05:43You guys need to go back out to lot five and find some more exactly
05:47Let's do it
05:47Let's go
05:47All right
05:48See you later. Take care. Good job
05:53Later that morning
05:55As the team prepares their next drill location in the money pit area
05:59So as we know, it's a very aggressive search agenda this year
06:05We have a lot of things going on. I know you've done your homework. You have the permits
06:10Rick meets with steve guptill scott barlow and billy gerhardt in the oak island research center to plan another major
06:18investigation a large-scale dig in the triangle-shaped swamp
06:23The swamp has been incredibly generous to us in terms of finding things
06:28Think about the timelines that have been associated with the swamp
06:331200s 1300s 1400s
06:37We've always thought that the bog held secrets and those secrets might have something to do with the money pit, right?
06:43Yeah
06:45During the past decade
06:47Rick marty and the team have uncovered numerous stone structures in the swamp
06:53These include a massive paved area near the center of the bog
06:58which has been scientifically dated to the 13th century
07:02A stone road in the southeast corner which may be more than 500 years old and is believed to be of portuguese origin
07:11And a cobblestone pathway in the northern region
07:15Which led the team to an empty fault-like feature that has been dated to as early as the 17th century?
07:22We found some incredibly unique things in the swamp
07:26Things we haven't been able to explain as of yet
07:29But it suggests numerous groups may have deposited things here on the island
07:34Once you understand the totality of the work in the bog
07:37Then you can apply maybe a possible connection to the money pit
07:43And who was behind this mystery?
07:45So, Steve, where are your areas of interest?
07:48So I have an area I'd like to start us at
07:50It's just west of the paved area you can see it here
07:53It's a brand new area we haven't explored on the western side
07:56That end of the swamp is kind of like the area around the vault, right?
07:59You know, we traveled across it a hundred times didn't know the vault was there
08:02So, you know, I think that the same types of finds can exist in that corner
08:06Hopefully there's another one and hopefully it's not empty
08:08Yeah
08:10We drained the swamp and I think all that really remains is, you know, get the excavators in place and start digging
08:17Yeah
08:19It's getting to work
08:22Later that day
08:23All right guys western side of the swamp brand new area for us
08:29Rick meets with members of the team to begin their new investigation in the western region of the swamp
08:36We're only 180 feet off the paved area that's just straight east of us
08:40Yeah, and I love those dates from the paved area
08:43It's 1200s and we've seen a certain coin this year a portuguese coin from the 1300s
08:51We might be in for a bit of pork and cheese
08:54Every year the swamp surprises us the bar every year it keeps raising right here
09:00Let's get diggy with it billy
09:05I'm really excited to be back in the swamp. It's been good to us in the past
09:10We've found a lot of really nice artifacts in the area and hopefully we are going to find some artifacts today
09:21Oh
09:24It's clean at the moment
09:35Oh wow look at that
09:43What we got here
09:45Stake did you see that billy you just moved the stake
09:50Yeah
09:51While digging near the western edge of the oak island swamp
09:55Rick Lagina and members of the team have just discovered an interesting clue
10:01Is that one of the sharpened old wooden stake posts rick yeah it looks like it
10:07What do you think it does look like one of those older style ones the way it's
10:12It's cut like that
10:16That ain't sore
10:18No that's an axe cut
10:20Yeah
10:21A hand cut wooden stake
10:23Curiously the team discovered a number of similar stakes one year ago in the center of the swamp lining the cobble path
10:32These stakes were carbon dated to as early as the 17th century and led them to the vault lake feature
10:42So that would be your first connection that this potentially at one point in time was a path
10:46So that could be a really old wood stake
10:49Is it possible that the team has uncovered evidence of another pathway if so just what might it lead to
10:58What we got here
11:00Whoo
11:02Look at that
11:02That definitely a stake there yeah there's one right there yeah so yeah good eye rick
11:13Oh that's a little mini work about ain't it like the ones we've seen in the north side of the swamp
11:19And the dating on those came back from 1630s all the way to mid 1700s
11:23The question is what do all these stakes mean?
11:27This stake is strikingly similar to the stakes that we found in the north end the stakes might be
11:34referencing some work that is yet undiscovered in the bog it is incredibly exciting
11:40It's odd to have
11:42Somebody's stakes in one area right yeah, we need to date these
11:46To really understand their importance here in a very tight area yeah, but
11:52You still need to find artifacts. Oh, yeah, the metals will tell the story of this place
11:58You know i'm hoping for coins
12:01Cross our fingers as rick and the team proceed with their excavation in the swamp
12:06several hundred yards to the west on lot five
12:11This almost feels like this is that top layer of soil because it's soft
12:14But i noticed this more gravelly when you get over there, but that could be from this little pile i think
12:19Archaeologist fiona steel and other members of the team
12:23Continue their investigation of a mysterious rounded feature near the shoreline
12:29So your turn for the coolest find ever okay ever
12:32In recent years the team has uncovered evidence suggesting that several different groups conducted secret activities here at different times
12:43While possibly hiding valuables on the island
12:47These include a number of buttons and venetian trade beads that may be connected to the knights of malta
12:53A religious military order that descended from the knights templar
12:57Lot five is an example of the extraordinary complexity of this island and what happened here the multi-generational theory
13:08Fits with a lot of the dates we found i want to keep going because i want to figure this out
13:13Oh my god look at this might be a pipe stem
13:28Hey pipe stem oh that's great that's got a really small borehole
13:33Like really small you can actually get an idea of the date range from the size of the boreholes
13:40So if you get a smaller borehole it's more likely a more recent pipe stem but if you get a really big borehole
13:47It can age it quite a bit i always have stuff with me that we can use for this
13:52This is what we use to to check the boreholes with all right so this one is a 4 64ths which is what i'm expecting
14:00Let's see and look at that that fits perfectly
14:03So that's saying that this pipe stem was made sometime between 1753 and 1800
14:10Which actually fits in exactly with what the mean date range of all the artifacts that we're finding here nice
14:16I think that's pretty cool the artifacts we have in general from lot five these artifacts still predate
14:241795 so they predate the discovery of the money pit to me that's what makes our work on lot five so significant
14:32Wow i'm glad we found that that's great
14:40Tansy look what i'm getting here check this out
14:46Pottery oh wow it's a big boy so we're gonna take it out in two pieces
14:51There's one so shiny isn't that great suit magic
15:03That's gorgeous that's really pretty wow we hold that one let's get the other piece out
15:08There we go so pretty wow those will go together look how big that bowl would have been it had to have been a big
15:22Utilitarian type of bowl it was probably used for food purposes preparation of some sort whether it was breads or preserved fruits
15:30I find with these course earthenwares could be anywhere from 1600 to 1800 but this little design on it will help date it
15:38good job
15:40Fragments of an ornate earthenware bowl that may have been used to contain food
15:46There are no records that any settlers ever lived on lot five
15:50So if fiona is correct that this pottery may date back to the 17th century
15:57It's a potential clue that could help identify who was here
16:02The things that we've been finding on lot five have been giving us more of an indication of multi-occupational use of the lot itself
16:09That's pretty blatant and evident
16:12So it's uh, it's getting more and more curious as we're going every piece adds to the puzzle and tells us more and more
16:19That's great beautiful fun
16:25The next day
16:28The fine is quite remarkable laird i would think you would have to agree finding that is incredibly impressive. Oh, absolutely
16:36Rick and members of the team meet once again in the lab regarding another find made two weeks ago on lot five
16:46Tansy we thank you for that
16:49It's stunningly beautiful. It is
16:51An ornate glass bead that tansy rudnicki uncovered in the rounded feature
16:57Laird emma tell us what this is and what it may mean so I do have an xrf
17:02Results so the composition we have a whole bunch of elements in it
17:09The color is due to the copper content that you see right here
17:14So that's what makes it a lovely lovely blue
17:18But here's the compositional averages in the comparison with other artifacts found on oak island
17:23Our bead is the one in blue
17:26The composition of the glass itself
17:28The closest match that it lines up with are the venetian beads that we've collected over the years
17:36It would be interesting to know if any of these are associated with the activity that was going on with the lights of balta
17:48It would be interesting to know if any of these are associated with the activity that was going on with the lights of balta
17:54So it'd just be curious to see if maybe they brought some beads with them
17:57They would have 100% brought beads with them to trade with the indigenous people in that area
18:04In the oak island lab emma culligan and laird have just informed the team that it's possible that the glass venetian bead found on lot
18:135 could be connected to the knights of malta
18:16So it's what we call a seed bead for obvious reasons. It's the size of a large seed
18:23They were introduced in the second half of the 1600s
18:28It would be interesting to know if any of these have ever been found at fort point because as we all know
18:32isaac de rasly came over and made his capital on the lehave river
18:38In 1632 a french naval captain and prominent member of the knights of malta named isaac de rasly
18:47helped establish the french colony of acadia which is now known today as nova scotia
18:54curiously de rasly established his headquarters at fort point on the lehave river just 15 miles south of oak island
19:02If phoenician beads have been discovered at fort point
19:08Could that offer more evidence of a connection between the knights of malta and the oak island mystery?
19:14we can check with the archaeologist at four point
19:18see what they may have for beads that were recovered from their archaeology
19:22that'd be great yeah strange as it sounds
19:25that little simple bead might tell a story
19:28mm-hmm so thank you emma thank you laird having said that we better get all back to it
19:34thank you thank you see you later see ya
19:38later that day
19:39as the investigations in both the swamp and on lot five continue
19:48j.5 8.5 guys
19:52all right we're still about
19:5512 feet above what we conventionally think of the top of the solution channel
20:00over at the money pit area the core drilling operation reaches a depth of nearly 140 feet
20:07in a new borehole known as j.5 8.5
20:12here the team hopes to penetrate the natural cavity known as the solution channel
20:17and recover evidence of treasure
20:21previous holes have shown us how convoluted it is we've run into actual ledges within it and soft
20:27plot below 190 hopefully this one will get into an even looser area and some kind of a chest
20:32yeah one full of silver coins it's all but we live in hope
20:39did a treasure fall down to the depths of the solution channel we don't know we don't want to
20:43be driven by possibilities you want to be driven by facts and the fact is right now we are nowhere near
20:50done exploring the extremities of this void and we need to continue to be very disciplined in our
20:57approach but we mustn't relent we mustn't give up we're not there yet i want the one thing
21:10whoa whoa that was interesting what happened he just lost his rods
21:15that means we're probably into the void i'll ask him how far they seem to have dropped
21:24adam hey how far did they drop about eight feet
21:27okay and that's into a loose area i'm assuming yeah that's what we're looking for okay go get it
21:33well we'll see you area thanks it's weird hey terry what do you what do you say so that was
21:40interesting so we're into a loose area 148 to 158 or so the rods just dropped right in now we go
21:48deeper to see what they find i mean i got my fingers crossed here gentlemen we are in a really
21:54interesting point let's hope this is exactly what we're looking for we're dropping down into an open
22:00space in the solution channel below 150 feet if we trace this to the bottom you can find a lot of
22:05amazing things before bedrock whoa that is an extraordinary washed out yeah void of material 168
22:17wow 68 what the rods were 15 feet down 15 15 feet so is that a solution channel you think
22:27huh exactly so that's kind of a void in open space you could lose a whole lot of treasure
22:33so out of the 20 feet that's all you got wow wow yeah so that bodes well gentlemen i think this is uh
22:40this is getting very interesting it's not over yet i'm going to run the pinpointer over this
22:47so when we pull a 20-foot run and we only have a few feet of material in it that says we've passed
22:51into a relative void where only a small amount of the solid material has been encountered and if we
22:56hit that kind of a situation we know we're into the void in the solution channel clear that tells us
23:02we could encounter an artifact anywhere between there and the bedrock
23:14adam how we doing i'm uh i'm at 188 wow and i haven't hit anything hard all we got is loose
23:23void that's it thanks what do you got so he has dropped another 20 feet he went from 168
23:32to 188 and he's still got nothing solid so he's gonna push forward from 188 to 198 to see if he can
23:40hit something solid yeah given what we know there's it's 30 foot void give or take that's exciting i
23:46think objective number one is to find the bottom of the solution channel absolutely we're excited because
23:52what is below us right here has not been searched by anyone ever and we're going to be the first people
23:59to go look at that hopefully we'll find something at the bottom because treasure is very dense and
24:06will drop through the material in the solution channel and settle at the bottom we have a core
24:12gentlemen the sample that we have in that core barrel is very important we've just passed down
24:19through a huge amount of loose area if there's a debris field if there's a broken up treasure chest
24:24if there's the one thing he could have it in that core barrel right now let's hope
24:33168 to 198 right in front of this gentleman we're looking for aspects of the debris field
24:38that have of the fallen treasure yes exactly here he is hey rick okay very loose area here rick
24:46168 to 198 and j.5 8.5 okay let's see it all right in the money pit area rick has joined the team
24:55to inspect fresh drilling cores recovered from the solution channel so this material is relatively
25:02watery void like material and from 198 we should go to about 218 or 215 before we hit bedrock rick
25:10so it should be another swath of interesting material at the bottom of the solution channel
25:25unfortunately no hits with the pinpointer well let's see what the next one looks like yeah i think
25:30this next run is the most important that would be the hope this hole in particular it's soft enough
25:37for something very heavy to have migrated downward to the point where it would fall to the lowest
25:43possible point i.e the bottom of the solution channel we just have to find it
25:55this is getting ridiculous like i'm 228 right now that's so weird man adam how we doing 228
26:03228 228 228 wow that's one for the record books and loose all the way down yeah nothing well it's
26:12loose but it's i can feel it do you think you're going to be able to retrieve that it's going in the
26:16rods right now okay thank you yep well you don't see that every day 228 no bedrock what what are they
26:26going through just water well it's loose material as well it looks like he's going to be able to get a
26:31sample so it looks like we're going to have 30 feet more of core coming up i agree it's highly
26:36unusual in fact that you're not in bedrock at 228 it's incredibly interesting yeah previously drilled
26:44boreholes that have reached the bottom of the solution channel have suggested that the mysterious
26:50natural cavity has a maximum depth of some 220 feet however has the team now discovered evidence that it
26:59could be deeper in some areas presenting a whole new challenge to finding the believed treasure
27:07the solution channel is wide it's expensive it's deep i think it's a little bit larger and certainly
27:14deeper than we had thought generally the bottom is 218 to 14 well we're 14 feet past that i think what it
27:24tells us is we have a lot more work to do to truly understand the solution channel certainly presents
27:31some unique challenges will there be issues that arise that we haven't anticipated sure there will be
27:37problems but we're not going to give up it's that simple jump in and i'll guide you in
27:43if there were something of some significance it would easily fall through what we just had on the
27:51table exactly yes here we go let's hope it's a good one you can be very hopeful look peter thinks
28:00it's hopeful i'm on board i'm cautiously optimistic there you go that was the words there you go the drill
28:06bar has basically fallen almost 100 feet with no hindrance your immediate thought is well here
28:15absolutely is the collapse zone what other explanation is there and if there's a collapse zone then we may
28:23be close to something so 198 all the way down to 228 and no bedrock yet but a lot of loose material so
28:33you've got a lot of work to do here with your pinpointer i think oh yeah okay so for 30 feet
28:39of drilling we got about 12 feet of loose material clear unfortunately in this section we didn't hit it
28:48let's see where he hits bottom and we'll see what he brings back up
28:51if he's pounding that's bedrock there's a nice white powder that's bedrock
29:05see what we got up above the bedrock
29:09here we go
29:10what do we got 228 233 the rock was at 229
29:23so yeah it looks like you got about a foot of loose material
29:26it's a good four feet of bedrock yeah it's clear
29:30j.5 8.5 seems to have come to an end here at 233 below grade we hit bedrock at 229 below grade
29:40it gave us information exactly what do you think about this adam it's been the most interesting
29:46one to me to date bottom line is i'm an eisenboots guy when the driller of record says this is something
29:52different you can put your nickel on that it's different absolutely based on what we're seeing
29:59the theory that the treasure would fall deep down in the solution channel still is alive and well
30:05one of the reasons for doing the sonic drill program was okay where's an area where we might
30:11put a case on down incremental information is incredibly important to help us determine that
30:17yeah yeah we need to make a decision where we go next yeah yeah absolutely as the team plots their
30:24next borehole location in the money pit area so sandy thank you for coming down once again appreciate
30:31it rick rick and duck meet with coin expert sandy campbell in the research center to get his analysis
30:38of the roman coin that was recently found on lot five you know as soon as i pick the coin up it's quite
30:46obvious what it is this is clearly roman empire period it's in remarkable condition for a coin that's been
30:55buried for quite a while i think we'll need a ct to get a more definitive portrait laird and emma have
31:04actually provided us with a couple of images from the ct scanner let's have a look yeah the ct's pretty clear
31:12you know the reverse is quite spectacular very definitive legend you know somebody's standing holding
31:21an oak leaf uh the obverse here is probably claudius which makes it third century a.d that's what laird and
31:34emma said yeah no question in your mind it's a roman coin no no question
31:39this is a pretty obvious design and period of roman empire but of all the roman this is you know
31:48perhaps the most remarkable piece that's been found to date what do you make of roman coins being found
31:55on this island though like how many roman coins have been found elsewhere in nova scotia i would say
32:02nothing that i'm aware of i'm puzzled how so many roman coins could land on this island
32:10question that would be in my mind is who brought it right you know roman coins traded as currency
32:17into the 1500s quite regularly they were monetarily used and that's what possibly brought them to this
32:24island in my opinion who brought them as a different story here's a scenario that starts to paint itself
32:30in my mind though the people that were carrying out the work to create the money bet may have been
32:35carrying this as currency in their pockets i think that is a distinct possibility incredible
32:46if you have people on the island building habitations for the works perhaps in the money pit
32:53and they're losing their personal possessions along the way these coins might have been actually the
32:58pocket change of the workers working to deposit a treasure in the money pit
33:02so this to me may not be the actual treasure they were depositing but it's evidence yes yeah it could
33:09be in the oak island research center sandy campbell has just validated the possibility that the roman
33:17coins found on lot five may have been dropped by those who buried a treasure in the money pit
33:23i wouldn't discount it you know 13 1400s this stuff was in use all through europe if you walked into
33:33any merchant anywhere in the world you know whether it's a new world or the old world that had monetary
33:40value it's mind-numbing that this stuff continues to get unearthed one of the interesting things about roman
33:50coins is they've often been found in places we've investigated the activities of the templars right
33:58another twist here we have the coins the roman coins have been found in iceland
34:05during their numerous trips to european sites where the templar order was believed to have operated
34:11between the 12th and 14th centuries the team has been shown roman coins from the same eras that they
34:18have found on oak island this is fourth century fourth century yeah we were told ours were from
34:25fifth century a.d if those coins were in active use right up through the 1200s then they could be
34:33associated with activity of the templars this sitting here on this table might be representative of that
34:41cultural context perhaps with nolan's cross and then the so-called pipledo coin right is it possible
34:50that the ancient roman coins could actually represent another templar connection to the oak island mystery
34:57and could they be related to other possible templar structures such as nolan's cross
35:03as well as reported discoveries like the silver portuguese coin
35:07the wealth associated with a possible treasure in the money pit might have been gathered from all over the world
35:14and templars as we have learned a simulated power influence wealth and specifically knowledge
35:24so it may be that this coin is roman but you have to take the clues and the data as presented to you
35:32but you have to analyze that data with a very open mind because it could all be connected
35:40we need to rededicate ourselves to continue to look intensively at lot five and the adjacent lots
35:47and the money pit for irrefutable proof all right so sandy thank you for coming down really appreciate it as
35:55always no i appreciate the invite and again it just it's always interesting to see something new and
36:03different it just deepens the mystery in my opinion it does do that yeah it's incredibly interesting roman
36:11coins were found on oak island it's just more bizarre later that day
36:17it's a good place to start charles yep back on the trail of artifacts mate on lot four i love it
36:27charles joins gary on lot four encouraged by the new discoveries of the glass bead and the roman coin
36:35you ready to get stuck in mate let's do it okay let's start here you find them i'll dig them
36:41rick has instructed them to search an area on nearby lot four where excavated spoils from the round
36:48feature on lot five have been deposited it's a bit of a jumpy signal charles it's more than likely going
36:55to be a piece of elongated iron you never know let's get stuck back in you've diggled some dirt around
37:06i think it's out yeah i believe so
37:20yeah just a little nail up yeah yeah burn it
37:23it'll keep going yep
37:34oh we got a nice banging signal here charles
37:37oh i like the sound of that charles nice one yeah a real good one this could be a coin or a button
37:44well let's hope this has got potential mate just there please right there okay
37:48that's a lot of roots yep x marks the spot
38:00yep
38:00i think i'll look see all right let's see what we've got
38:10i can't see you
38:13it's in my hand mate and i can feel it this is the fun part mate let's see what we've got
38:22what have we found charles look at that mate some kind of lead strip that's interesting
38:43while searching for clues on lot four charles and gary have just made a curious discovery
38:50look at the beveled edges i see that you know what this reminds me of what's that it reminds me of a
38:56an arm of a lead cross really it looks like there's a hole at the top yeah if you are making
39:04the cross a lead and you want to tack it onto something it would need holes so we could be in
39:10temple country yeah a lead artifact with similar features to the 14th century lead cross that was
39:19found at smith's cove in 2017 members of the oak island team have seen this exact cross design
39:27at 12th and 14th century templar related sites in dome france in camerano italy and near reykjavik
39:38iceland and perhaps even more incredible is the fact that in 2022 while investigating the mysterious
39:47round feature just a few yards away on lot five gary and jack begley unearthed a lead barter token
39:54that was scientifically matched to the lead cross you see that this looks really old yeah
40:04is it possible that gary and charles have found another key clue that could help prove
40:10a templar connection to the oak island mystery let's put this in the bag where it belongs
40:15even a little piece of lead like this could tell a really big story it's one of those metals you can
40:23have tested and you never know imagine if this piece of lead is a match to a certain medieval artifact
40:32we recovered in smith's code medieval lead cross baby i'm sure there's more artifacts waiting for us but
40:41we need to get to the lab i can't wait to see what this is let's go man all right mate good digging
40:47excellent absolutely brilliant
40:53generations of treasure hunters have believed that something of immense value lies buried in the money
40:59pit now rick marty and their team may have not only touched a piece of those fabled riches
41:07but have found incredible new clues that could help identify just who was behind this mystery
41:15so despite the murky questions that remain in the solution channel
41:19this team will keep searching for the truth no matter how deep they have to dig
41:30next time on the curse of oak island hold it whoa whoa whoa another feature in the swamp what in the
41:36world is happening this feature could help us unwrap the whole mystery something this small has fallen to
41:42the bottom of the solution channel here it is right there could be a chunk of a coin it's got some
41:47sort of design on it if it's a silver coin that's treasure it's what we're looking for yeah be prepared
41:52to be gobstroped this is going to be special this is quite pure yes absolutely
