Short filmTranscript
00:00On the curse of Oak Island.
00:02Oh, wow.
00:03What is that?
00:04That's exactly like the sticks we found near the vault.
00:06I truly believe there's still another vault there.
00:09Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:10There it is, without a void.
00:11That's right.
00:12Is that natural, or is that an open cavern?
00:14Only a sonar could tell you that, really.
00:16All right, well, that's what we'll do.
00:17Hopefully we'll find the one thing.
00:18Cross your fingers.
00:19We're in the cavity.
00:20Yeah, you're in.
00:21We'd love nothing better than to see a man-made cavern or vault.
00:24We've got an opening.
00:25This is not natural.
00:30There is an island in the North Atlantic where people have been looking for an incredible treasure for more than 200 years.
00:40So far, they have found a stone slab with strange symbols carved into it.
00:46Man-made workings that date to medieval times.
00:50And a lead cross whose origin may be connected to the Knights Templar.
00:55To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
01:00And, according to legend, one more will have to die before the treasure can be found.
01:08As a new day begins on Oak Island.
01:23Here we go.
01:25VN 13.5.
01:27This is an area that we really haven't looked at very much and certainly haven't been to the bottom of the solution channel in very much.
01:32Rick and Marty Lagina and their team are shifting their strategy to look for treasure more than 200 feet deep in the Money Pit area.
01:41Right in the heart of the Peacock.
01:43Yep.
01:44The Peacock is a real phenomenon.
01:46It's a loose, slushy area leading down into the solution channel.
01:50Good.
01:51They are drilling a borehole known as BN 13.5.
01:58Located 45 feet northeast from recent drilling locations.
02:03And in an area dubbed by Marty Lagina as the Peacock.
02:07So right at 55 is like the bottom dropped right out of her.
02:11It was here where three years ago the team drilled through heavily slushy material between 55 and 150 feet deep before entering the solution channel at a depth of nearly 170 feet underground.
02:27Now, in order to explore another area of the solution channel where new water tests have revealed more evidence of precious metals.
02:37The team is once again drilling down through the Peacock.
02:41The Peacock is almost like the solution channel sitting on top of the solution channel.
02:46It's a very low dense area of what I'm going to call Terry, a higher mud river.
02:53We never really drilled to the bottom as much as we should have, I believe.
02:58The Peacock is an area of significantly unconsolidated soils.
03:02Terry Matheson, a resident geologist, can explain how that can exist.
03:08There may be a tunnel or a shaft in close proximity which has caused the soils to destabilize.
03:16But the historical record does not indicate anyone being in this area, i.e. searchers.
03:23So, what happened here?
03:25What is the story and where is the treasure?
03:28I think we're in a really good area here. I really do.
03:31There's probably multiple number of holes that could put here.
03:34I agree with that 100%.
03:35And you know, until we actually hold the treasure in our hand, I'm not willing to rule out any area as possible.
03:40I totally agree.
03:41I totally agree.
03:42While the core drilling operation continues in the Money Pit area.
03:48Wow.
03:49Made some good progress.
03:51Yeah.
03:52Katya Drayton and Derek Couch join Billy Gerhardt in the southwest corner of the swamp.
03:59All right.
04:00We'll open this up a little bit to give us room that maybe you can get down and detect around a little bit.
04:05So, we'll start over here.
04:07Yep.
04:08We'll be where you dump and then I'll move there.
04:11The team is searching for artifacts that might help identify who built a stone formation uncovered in this area three weeks ago.
04:20As well as a possibly related stone road that was unearthed several yards to the north.
04:27Both of which were lined by wooden survey stakes.
04:38What is that?
04:39Oh, wow.
04:40We just found another steak.
04:41Oh, good.
04:42That's quite something.
04:43In place as well.
04:44Oh, my gosh.
04:45How many sides?
04:46Four cuts.
04:47It looks like one side is unfinished, but this reminds me of the five-sided steak we found earlier.
04:53This has been in here for a while.
04:54And what's most impressive of that one is that this steak was still standing at a very deep point in the swamp, so it's exactly where somebody put it.
05:06There's three feet of stuff on top of that, right?
05:07Yeah.
05:08It's cut with purpose.
05:09Yeah.
05:10And it's ax cut.
05:11Mm-hmm.
05:12You can see there now is a round pit down there, which is pretty hard to do with a square excavator bucket, so...
05:15As you were digging, it just kept falling in there.
05:16Right.
05:17So it does give you the inclination there's something down there.
05:18There's a round pit down there, which is pretty hard to do with a square excavator bucket, so...
05:20As you were digging, it just kept falling in there.
05:21Right.
05:22So it does give you the inclination.
05:23There's something down there.
05:24Right.
05:25I just pushed my bucket, and the stuff fell in, but now you can really see the shape of what
05:28it was when it was dug.
05:29So somebody dug a pit there, and it wasn't me.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Maybe that steak marked why they dug there.
05:32You know, who and why, right?
05:33Yeah.
05:34Yeah.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Yeah.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Yeah.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Yeah.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Yeah.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Could Billy be correct that someone previously dug in this area and then marked it with a wooden
05:59stake?
06:00If so, could this stake be an important sign of what else the team may uncover here?
06:07Rick told us to keep an eye out for these, and we'll definitely have to get Steve out here
06:12to pin this.
06:13I think with the dating of the wood and the depth that we had it when Steve pins it, that
06:18Dr. Spooner might be able to put a date on, but that stake has to go back a long time.
06:22Hopefully there's more there, but that is a great start.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Maybe we could find an answer instead of a question.
06:29Yeah.
06:30So it would be nice to find some answers.
06:32We'll keep going.
06:33All right.
06:34As the dig in the swamp continues.
06:37Gary had done a complete scan of the Lot 5 spoil piles, and lo and behold, this item
06:43was found.
06:44Rick and other members of the team join Laird Niven and Emma Culligan in the lab for a report
06:51on a folded copper coin, or token, found one week ago in spoils that were removed from
06:57the round feature on Lot 5.
07:00You were quite excited about that.
07:02Yeah.
07:03When it came out, I'm thinking, oh, it's some kind of, like, folded coin I'm hoping.
07:10These are unusual.
07:11I have found these type of finds in England, metal detecting, and they're normally like talisman
07:18or good-look tokens that put out there.
07:22Sometimes they ward off even bad luck, but it was good luck for us because we found it.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Does it cross cultural lines or religious lines, meaning one faith might be more accepting
07:36of it, maybe more...
07:37I mean, Catholicism for sure, I would think.
07:40It's interesting because this tradition, I think the first recorded one in England is,
07:46like, 1290.
07:47You fold a coin and pray to a saint for a miracle, and that's how this all started.
07:53Yeah.
07:56The team has found a number of potentially religious artifacts in the round feature, such as the
08:0214th century lead barter token that may be linked to the Knights Templar.
08:07They have also found Phoenician trade beads and two ornate buttons that could be connected
08:13to the Knights of Malta, an order with known ties to the Templars, who built a stronghold
08:19in Nova Scotia back in 1632.
08:22We need to know from you what you think it is and what it represents and how old it might
08:29be.
08:30Okay.
08:31So, for the CT scan, I guess the main question that first needs answering is whether or not
08:38there's any reliefs or signs that it is a coin.
08:41Mm-hmm.
08:42And immediately, I'm going to say there's nothing that I can really see so far.
08:47Yeah.
08:48I mean, we can't definitively say it's a coin, but if we look at why coins are traditionally
08:55folded, it needs to have some value to give literal, like, weight to the talisman.
09:04So, we can assume it was valuable to somebody at some point.
09:08And then the triple folding is quite unusual.
09:11Yeah.
09:12We thought it would be fairly straightforward.
09:14Yeah, we did.
09:15Yeah.
09:16What does the data tell you the age of this item is?
09:20So, based on the composition, it is a copper alloy with a zinc content, zinc being an alloying
09:26element.
09:27It's definitively post-medieval and pre-mid 1800s.
09:32There's the arsenic and lead content as an alloying element as well, which is from at
09:37least around the time of, like, industrial revolution of mid-1700s, potentially earlier.
09:43And then the arsenic could push it to late 1600s.
09:52The arsenic could push it to the 1600s, late 1600s.
09:57The fact that someone took all that time to fold it over three times.
10:02I mean, it is significant.
10:04It is a meaningful artifact.
10:07In the lab, Emma and Laird have just revealed that the folded copper artifact found in the
10:16Lot 5 spoils may hold religious symbolism and date back to more than a century before the
10:22discovery of the money pit.
10:25And sometimes if it was disease, they'd put a bent over coin or token to ward off the disease.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Somebody went to some pains to do it then.
10:37Yeah.
10:38To me, it looks quite well done.
10:39Yeah.
10:40We're on an island, but it's a big province.
10:43Have you ever found anything like this on digs or know of any of our archaeological digs where
10:49they've found these type of offerings?
10:51Not that I can remember specifically in Nova Scotia from an archaeological context.
10:57Of course, we're on an island.
11:00Sailors came to the island.
11:02They were all superstitious, especially in the 1700s.
11:05True.
11:06Oh, there are a lot of possibilities.
11:08Obviously, the first one is just preparing for your voyage.
11:11Yeah.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Coming here from Europe was not an easy thing, right?
11:16Exactly.
11:17Yeah.
11:18My suspicion is that's intentional.
11:20It's folded perfectly.
11:22Yeah.
11:23And maybe three folds means something different than two folds.
11:26Yeah.
11:27Our research hasn't gone that far yet.
11:29Given the enormity of finds that date to the 1600s, there were buttons.
11:35Then you have the trade beats, right?
11:37And the dates you're implying are highly suggestive of the connection to the Knights of Malta.
11:44Their attempt to either create a colony here or to do something else.
11:50Given the potential symbolism of this artifact, could the team be correct that it might be related to the buttons and ornate trade beats that have been potentially linked to the order of the Knights of Malta?
12:05The folded coin is certainly the first of its kind on the island, but it's just a puzzle piece.
12:12How do you connect all of the artifacts in Lot 5 feature?
12:16It's starting to build a body of evidence, but I think in order to fully understand what happened on Lot 5, there's a lot more work to be done.
12:25But at some point, with enough puzzle pieces, then you can tell the complete story.
12:31Just love to know what's on the inside.
12:35And I'd like to see the puzzle completed.
12:38It's one of those little, innocuous-looking things that has a great story behind it.
12:43Mm-hmm.
12:44It was good luck that we found it.
12:46I think there's a lot of information that we can learn because of its uniqueness.
12:50Yeah.
12:51And don't forget Sandy Campbell.
12:52That's a good thought.
12:53Yeah.
12:54With Sandy, he's not just a numismatist, he's a historian.
13:00Yeah.
13:01And he might know the history of these coins.
13:03Exactly.
13:04So, I look forward to what we uncover.
13:07Or what we unfold.
13:08Pun intended.
13:11All right.
13:12See you.
13:14Bye.
13:15Bye-bye.
13:16Keep your eyes peeled here.
13:19Meanwhile, in the southwest corner of the swamp, Katya, Derek, and Billy continue to search for more artifacts near the stone formation.
13:29Yeah, Katya, there's a funny piece in that last bucket.
13:33Oh, yeah.
13:34Oh, my gosh.
13:36That's a something there, yeah.
13:39Piece of planking?
13:40That's a strand.
13:42The top looks maybe cut, but it's wide and it comes to a point like a wedge.
13:48No, it does.
13:49Yeah, it's tapered.
13:50Yeah.
13:51So, you know, somebody's spent some time to make it for a very special purpose, I would say.
13:56It's got a great groove right there, a bunch of little dents in it.
14:01I'm thinking it might be an oar or a paddle just because of the shape.
14:05Yeah.
14:06They're so close to the ship's rail, and maybe we get attest that it's some part of the same ship.
14:11If we find more pieces of the same one, that would be pretty telling to what actually went on in here.
14:17Yeah.
14:18A possible piece of an oar?
14:21Could Billy be correct that it may be related to the piece of a ship's railing found just a few yards to the east back in 2020,
14:30which was carbon dated to as early as the 7th century?
14:34If so, might all of the artifacts that the team is finding in this area be connected to the nearby stone feature?
14:43I think somebody will be able to look at that and look at the taper, whether it is an oar or a wedge or whatever it is, doesn't matter.
14:49Connect some dots.
14:50Yeah.
14:51We'll put this to the side.
14:52Definitely an interesting piece.
14:54Yep.
14:55It's what Marty says all the time, you know, facts are stubborn things, like the ship's railing, going back in the 600 ADs.
15:02It's very confusing, and we have data across the board from literally from the 1200s right up through 1750.
15:12In the bog with the types of constructions that have been found.
15:16That looks like another stake.
15:18Billy, got another stake right under you.
15:21My hope is that as the work continues in the bog, the gaps in that information will be filled in.
15:30That is one of those big round ones.
15:36This is probably one of the biggest stakes I've ever seen.
15:39We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
15:48Eight sides.
15:49That reminds me exactly of the stakes we found near the vault.
15:53Definitely something going on here.
15:56The team has found dozens of wooden stakes across the swamp that have featured different numbers of cuts at their points.
16:03But when they uncovered the empty slate and brick vault in the northern region one year ago, it was after following a trail of eight sided cut stakes that lined a cobblestone path.
16:17Is it possible that this eight sided stake could be connected to that vault like feature?
16:24And could it mean another one that may still contain valuables is hidden in this area?
16:30It looked like it was about four feet down in that sand there.
16:33Yeah.
16:34The eight side ones are almost all that same, that really big circumference.
16:38The more sides that it has, based on the testing that we did in the island, the older that they tend to be.
16:43Yeah.
16:44Every bucket full now, we're finding something.
16:46There was a ton of activity right here.
16:48I'm sure we'll have a bunch of stuff to take back to the lab for everybody to look at.
16:52Well, that's another good find.
16:54Well, I'll put it over there and then we'll keep going.
16:57Oh, good eye, Derek.
16:58That's cool.
16:59As the sun rises over Oak Island.
17:04You ready to rock, Charles?
17:06Yeah.
17:07Here we go.
17:08In the Money Pit area, Terry and Charles monitor the core drilling operation in borehole BN 13.5, as it sinks deeper into the Peacock area.
17:25Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:28We've never had this much fallout.
17:31No.
17:32Yeah, it's too hard to tell if it's a void or if it's just water gravels.
17:37Yeah.
17:38Okay, Charles, it looks like you lost the core.
17:41Gone out the end of the core barrel.
17:43Okay.
17:44Here's Adam now.
17:46Hey, Adam, you lost that, right?
17:48Yeah.
17:49And no recovery.
17:50No recovery, no.
17:51Oh, man.
17:52We've pushed from 148 to 158, and the rods are sinking when I run the casing.
17:58They're sinking.
17:59We're in pretty loose material, obviously.
18:00It's loose.
18:01We're right in the heart of the Peacock.
18:02Yeah.
18:03So you're just going to try and push to 168 to try and get something solid?
18:06Yeah.
18:07Excellent.
18:08Great stuff.
18:09Thanks a lot.
18:10Good.
18:11Appreciate it.
18:12Interesting to see what we come up with on this one.
18:14We're excited about this because we're in the area where we got gold and silver in the water.
18:20And, you know, as we're drilling down, the mud and the muck is very loose and sloppy.
18:26Oh, yeah.
18:27Is it loose because of high activity by humans?
18:31That looks promising.
18:33Yeah.
18:34Is it possible that this could be an opening that was man-made?
18:38If it is, it's something we didn't know existed.
18:41Whatever was there, we got it.
18:43Right on.
18:44But it got hard at the bottom.
18:46Very sloppy at the top.
18:49Okay.
18:50All right.
18:51Let's carve this up.
18:52Okay.
18:53This is the firm bottom of this area of the Peacock.
18:56Right here.
18:57Yeah.
18:58And the bottom here is limestone-rich material.
19:00It's really only 10 feet of recovery for a whole 20 feet drilled all the way from 148 to 168.
19:07Definitely, we've got an effective water-filled void from about 148 to 158.
19:12You feel a little grave.
19:13Yeah.
19:14A possible 10-foot void above the solution channel?
19:18Peacock.
19:19If so, is it simply a natural feature?
19:22Or could it be a man-made chamber?
19:25I gotta go.
19:26Okay.
19:27What is a surprise is when we encounter a relative void, I mean, you think human activity in that
19:32area, this is shaping up to be a really interesting hole.
19:36Hey, Terry.
19:37How you doing?
19:38How's it going?
19:39Uh, we're loose from between 148 and 158.
19:44Relatively loose, washed-out material like what you'd expect down inside a solution channel.
19:48Okay.
19:49Relatively high, but this is possibly a void.
19:53Now, is that natural or is that an open man-made chamber?
19:57We don't know.
19:58Yeah.
19:59Also, we're getting elevated results for precious metals, associated copper-lead-zinc type of
20:05things that are associated with a treasure in the peacock.
20:08So, yeah, for me, I've always been a believer that there's an offset chamber in the money pit,
20:12and if there is an offset chamber, it makes sense it would be in this area.
20:16Exactly.
20:19The Oak Island team has long suspected that whoever built the money pit may have not only buried
20:24treasure at the bottom of the shaft, but also constructed a tunnel away from the main shaft
20:30to hide a cache of treasure in an offset chamber.
20:34Is it possible that this theory could explain the potential 10-foot void that the team has just
20:40encountered 148 feet deep in the peacock?
20:47So, what we found was an area with possibly a water-filled void.
20:52That's a candidate for a sonar, don't you think?
20:54I think so.
20:56Adam!
21:00Quick question.
21:01What's up?
21:02We had a bit of an open area, which I think of as a void.
21:06Yep.
21:07Is it a void?
21:08Only a sonar could tell you that, really.
21:10Yeah.
21:11Right?
21:12All right.
21:13Well, that's what we'll do.
21:14Yep.
21:15All right.
21:16So, if this proves fruitful, I can see this being a case on location.
21:17Yeah.
21:18We're not done with the peacock.
21:19Yep.
21:20Absolutely.
21:21As the team arranges to look deeper into borehole BN 13.5.
21:25I want to thank you for coming down.
21:29This, when Gary found it, it was coin-like.
21:32In the research center, Rick and other members of the team meet with coin expert Sandy Campbell.
21:39It's very peculiar.
21:40Again, a one-off.
21:42Yeah.
21:43To have him examine the folded copper artifact that was found on lot five.
21:48Never found another one of these on the island.
21:51So, I don't know.
21:52I'm hoping you can help us here.
21:54Okay.
21:57Yeah, this is extremely interesting.
22:00And it is a coin.
22:09Fold it three times.
22:12You know, when they first started folding coins, it was early medieval times.
22:17It represents a ritual that's thousands of years old.
22:21Yeah.
22:22It was thought that when you folded a coin, you could trap, you know, the evil inside the coin.
22:29And at some point when that evil has passed, if you pass the coin on or if you buried it, there was no more risk to you from that evil.
22:41Hmm.
22:42And it relates to Christianity, the Crusades, you know, even the Knights Templar.
22:49However, because of the size of this coin, it's not likely medieval.
22:54And this is probably 16, 17 hundreds.
22:58Really?
22:59But I think it still has the same religious and spiritual meaning.
23:08Fascinating.
23:09It's an interesting piece.
23:10Yeah.
23:11In the research center, Sandy Campbell has confirmed that the folded artifact found near the round feature on Lot 5 is indeed a coin.
23:24And maybe a 17th century religious symbol connected to the Knights Templar.
23:39Trapping evil. It seems like a strange ritual, right?
23:43Right.
23:44It's a bizarre ritual, but, you know, copper was really a show of wealth.
23:50And it was also a show of strength to anybody in medieval times.
23:54Hmm.
23:55So the only folded coins you will see from that period, you're not going to see folded silver or gold.
24:00They're always going to be copper.
24:02Really?
24:03Yeah.
24:04Folding the coins was also a ritual to honor saints.
24:08Hmm.
24:09The Knights Templar, they worshiped both St. George and St. Bernard.
24:14Yeah.
24:15And there was a ritual with folded coins where you would fold the coin, trap the evil, toss it away as an homage to those saints.
24:25Hmm.
24:26So it's bizarre that you have this piece on the island.
24:31I guess that ritual continued into the 1600s.
24:37Really?
24:38Yeah.
24:39So you feel that this is probably 1600s?
24:42At the earliest.
24:44So my mind always goes to the Knights of Malta.
24:48Interesting.
24:49Which is one of our suspects on the island.
24:52That falls right in that time period.
24:54Hmm.
24:55Is it possible that this folded copper coin might offer another key clue that sacred treasures of the Knights Templar and the religious order of the Knights of Malta may be connected to the Oak Island mystery?
25:09Sandy Campbell's statement that the trifold goes back to medieval times during the time of the Templars.
25:18It's very curious.
25:19We have proven, in fact, that the Knights of Malta had interactions and even through families of great importance with the Templars.
25:29And there was a connection between the two.
25:32So there is a possible tie there.
25:35There's more research to be done.
25:37It's strange because there are some, I believe, Lord, correct me if I'm wrong, but that feature that you've uncovered.
25:44It's basically east to west, is it not its orientation?
25:47The long axis.
25:48We know from the churches we visited and the historical places when we went to Europe.
25:53All Templar-associated buildings and constructions were east-west orientation.
26:00It's interesting, different, and adds to the mystery.
26:06There's no way to unfold that coin, physically unfold it.
26:10My initial response is you folded it to capture evil.
26:15Yeah, so if you back it up.
26:17Yeah, you're on your own there.
26:20I don't know what's in there.
26:23No, it's unfortunate that we can't learn more about it.
26:27You know, the hope is, as the work continues on Lot 5, because you're not done, we find others.
26:33And hopefully they'll be able to tell us something a little bit more than what's currently in front of us.
26:39Exactly.
26:40So we thank you very much for coming down.
26:42I appreciate it.
26:43After the meeting in the research center.
26:46I'm really expecting to find some good things in here.
26:50Then this really should be a potential for a high traffic area.
26:53While members of the team search for more clues in the round feature on Lot 5.
26:58We'll see what today brings.
26:59Yeah, let's see.
27:00Rick and Katya arrive on Lot 8, located on the western side of the island.
27:06Let's have at her.
27:07High five before we start.
27:09Two weeks ago.
27:11Perfect.
27:12All right, Gary, here's our first location.
27:14Okay, Mike.
27:15While the team searched for clues on a straight line that led away from a potential 12th century marker stone on Lot 5.
27:22Gary and Peter found part of a possible barrel on Lot 8.
27:27Now, Rick wants to see if that find might be related to something more valuable buried nearby.
27:34Oh.
27:35That's a hit.
27:36Right there.
27:37Face.
27:38It's looking to be iron.
27:41Let's see.
27:42There you go.
27:43Oh.
27:44Oh.
27:45Look at that.
27:46Look at that.
27:47Look at that.
27:48Oh.
27:49Oh.
27:50Okay.
27:51What's that?
27:53Oh.
27:54Oh.
27:55Oh.
27:57Oh.
27:58Oh.
27:59Oh.
28:00It's looking to be iron.
28:04Let's see.
28:07There you go.
28:10Oh.
28:12Look at that.
28:15What is this?
28:18I don't know.
28:19Looks like two holes in it right there.
28:21Yeah.
28:23Not heavy enough to be a tool though, is it?
28:26I think this might be a knife handle.
28:28Because there's another hole down here.
28:31Yeah, you'd possibly have like another side to this.
28:34And then you'd have the blade starting up there.
28:37You can really see how both of the holes are square on each side.
28:44Your father has always said that.
28:46Square holes imply a hole there.
28:49Yeah.
28:50Well, I know one thing.
28:51I'd like to see that on a CT scan, right?
28:54I would definitely agree with you.
28:56Well, we'll bag this.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Tag it.
28:59Right?
29:01There are all kinds of questions about Lot 8.
29:04In this particular location, there is no data or no record that people are in this area doing something following the discovery of the money pit.
29:13All right.
29:16It's a good start.
29:18So anything you find, almost literally anything, is an important clue in terms of who might have been there and when.
29:26That's what's good.
29:27Yeah?
29:28Yeah.
29:29Oh, yeah.
29:30Right here.
29:31Two-way repeatable.
29:32Right?
29:33Yep.
29:34That was a beautiful bug.
29:35Oh, yeah.
29:36Even I know that's a good one.
29:37Now that is an interesting piece.
29:38Oh, yeah.
29:39Oh, yeah.
29:40Oh, yeah.
29:41Oh, yeah.
29:42Oh, yeah.
29:43That is an interesting piece.
29:44What is that?
29:49I know that's a good one
30:04That is an interesting piece is that
30:11I've never found one of these before this is a lead back
30:19this is great on lot eight of oak island rick and katya have made what could be an important
30:25discovery this could possibly be a tail coming out of it yeah yeah that would have been probably
30:33from the bag or whatever it was being attached to yeah yeah your dad's phone other bags is one on
30:3932 one on five down by the ocean and yet here we are in the middle of nowhere
30:47you find a bag seal first developed in europe in the 13th century bag seals were fasteners used to
30:57secure large quantities of goods inside cloth packaging the oak island team previously found
31:03one of these items on lot five that was british and could date back to the 16th century
31:09however they uncovered another one near the shore on lot 32 that was a scientific match to the 14th
31:17century lead cross which may be connected to the knights templar is it possible that rick and katya
31:25have just found a similar artifact to the best of my knowledge i don't think there was a homestead here
31:34i just for the life of me i can't understand why it's here it just doesn't make sense to me
31:40i cannot explain why this bag seal has been found almost in the middle of the lot
31:47not in proximity to the open ocean everything prior to the causeway construction in 1965
31:55things would have had to have come by the sea by way of the sea so why it was lost in the middle
32:00of the lot i cannot explain it look it's a great find i'm more curious about this one than i am about
32:07bag seals on there and there because if they had something to do with a work area then whatever was
32:13inside would have been needed here i'm really hoping that emma and laird can find a maker's mark
32:21or moniker on it and we could really trace this back to where it came from yeah let's get it analyzed
32:28see if there is a maker's mark or something i agree yeah good find yeah well congratulations
32:34you found something i always wanted to find well done it's cool right let's keep looking yeah let's do it
32:45the following morning let's find something yeah oh hey guys how you doing
32:50what is great right about ready yeah just about while they wait for analysis on the new find from
32:57lot eight rick craig and other members of the team meet with underwater imaging expert ken debor
33:03in the money pit area to investigate the possible 10-foot void nearly 150 feet deep in borehole bn 13.5
33:14we're going to try the camera first so we see if we can get an image down there sure
33:17pulled up the sonar down can you explain it terry can i explain it geologically not really no i mean
33:23i'm looking for beams and posts here that's what i'm going to look for in that pictures that's what
33:27i'm going to look for in the sonar imaging as well and perhaps a little chest over in the corner
33:34crush your fingers ken it's up to you no pressure no pressure no pressure at all no pressure all right
33:40it's very interesting i mean we're in the area of high metal values in my opinion this would be an
33:46offset chamber potentially yes so it's quite interesting so i'm ready to go let's have a
33:51look all right here we're down there then okay let's get at it before running a sonar device down
33:57the borehole the team will insert ken's high definition camera capable of operating in low
34:04light conditions with a lens that he can rotate 360 degrees we'll take it to 150 feet so we're into the hole
34:12here touchdown water water we'd love nothing better than to see a man-made cave cavern vault anything
34:33man-made really at that depth in that location i don't know what to expect but i'm very eager to
34:39find out what's down there how deep are we charles you're 32 feet right now
34:4980 feet
34:5490 feet it's close to the top of the chamber 100. there you go
35:01okay there's a silk cloud coming up from around uh looks like a boulder or something oh that could
35:10be a beam wow wow
35:20there's something there isn't there steve come up like about an inch or two okay
35:24whoa whoa whoa that's good
35:35you can make it almost like wall or something out there when you move away from it
35:42we go kind of go into more of an opening here really
35:45there's definitely some sort of opening there yeah for sure yep right there right there in the abyss
36:03in the money pit area the oak island team investigates a strange cavity some 150 feet underground
36:11see if you want to just take us up slowly kind of inch by inch yes sir will
36:18you tell me when to stop
36:23oh oh did you see that turn that way
36:30hold it there for a second okay i'm gonna steady it
36:36that looks like something
36:41i mean you see the potential of having boulders on top of one another but i mean just off to the
36:47left or right could be the original man-made structure holding those boulders out yeah
36:53if there was a collapsed offset chamber down there or a tunnel i mean we're gonna see bare earth
37:00but it looks like it has depth that's interesting yeah but we do see some potential boulder on boulder
37:07again we're towards kind of the rock facing wall if you will side of the borehole could terry be
37:15correct that the team is looking into a man-made structure if so could it be connected to the
37:22precious metals that have been detected in this area if we rotate around this way
37:28you see we start opening up here back into that cavity area right here that's just very surprising
37:40is that what you're seeing ken yes
37:45i'd put the sonar down and try to define the cavity that's a great idea yep
37:49we can actually see some things but it's difficult to understand scale it's difficult to get a real
37:59interpretation of what you're looking at so the next step here is to introduce the sonar and see how
38:07open and how big how wide how long this area is
38:11is so we have here is a scanning 360 degree sonar the cable's marked so we'll know where that 150 foot
38:21is okie doke keep your fingers crossed
38:27the blue robotics ping 360 sonar device emits a sound wave that reflects off of objects and barriers
38:35we're in water we're in the water this will produce full-scale images of the underground void
38:43or possible cavern show me the money yeah
38:50so we're in the cavity as of right now oh there's the old yeah you're in you're in okay okay right there
38:55here we go this darker red line is the opening you can see how rough it is and the yellow is lower
39:03density returns and backscatter caused by particles in the water right go down a little more yep
39:12yeah that popped out further is that an opening now it's like around the hard return we've got an
39:20opening oh two directions too yeah looks like it's open wow to me this looks very linear like with an
39:29opening here interesting so it's two feet from side to side right now if this is not natural it
39:39could have been a larger cavity that has collapsed around it so true i mean just out to the left or
39:45right we might encounter what we're hoping for yeah this hole shouldn't be open there's no reason for
39:53that geologically there's no reason for that we found gold in the water in the area right it's open
40:01down there there's no reason for it to be open unless man was down there doing something we have
40:09precious metals and high silver in the peacock and greater depths in the solution channel
40:15we've always speculated that there was more than call it an offset chamber or multiple volts maybe we
40:25just found one of them this is a priority target now that we have video let's contact prohawk a company
40:33that enhances video to have it analyzed we will incrementally pursue this because we're trying to find
40:41the treasure right yeah there's every indication here that that could be in this specific area yeah
40:48we have a few more holes to drill in this area good deal okay let's make it so
40:54the more rick marty craig and their team dig the deeper this 230 year old mystery becomes
41:02after making intriguing new discoveries on lot eight and in the swamp has the team finally located a
41:12treasure vault 150 feet underground in the money pit area but if so is that the only place where oak
41:22island is hiding its most precious secrets next time on the curse of oak island i got a signal aha
41:34oh we got here i recognized this seal so it could date to the 1300s
41:41that large boulder looks century me we've uncovered a big void right there what is underneath that boulder
41:47we put cameras in vn 13.5 what we found suggests human origin it really seems like it's a depositor wow
