00:00Aha!
00:01Whoa, we got here!
00:03I recognized this seal, so it could date to the 1300s.
00:08That large boulder looks intriguing.
00:11We've uncovered a big void right there.
00:13What is underneath that boulder?
00:15We put cameras in BN 13.5.
00:18What we found suggests human origin.
00:21It really seems like it's a depositor.
00:23Wow.
00:24There is an island in the North Atlantic where 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.
00:42Man-made workings that date to medieval times.
00:46And a lead cross whose origin may be connected to the Knights Templar.
00:52To date, six men have died trying to solve the mystery.
00:57And, according to legend, one more will have to die before the treasure can be found.
01:18This is the critical intersection right here, guys.
01:20Yeah.
01:21What we should see beneath the peacock is loose material.
01:24Our targets are the possible void at 148 feet.
01:26And then the solution channel below that.
01:28Right.
01:29A new day on Oak Island brings fresh hope for Rick and Marty Lagina that their team is closing in on the answers to a 231-year-old treasure mystery.
01:41Really, the end goal is to get down to the solution channel and see if there's a potential treasure there.
01:46But I also believe that we're close to a chamber here.
01:48Right.
01:49In a location of the money pit area known as the peacock, the team is drilling borehole DN-13, just a few feet northwest of borehole BN-13.5.
02:02Whoa!
02:03Whoa!
02:04Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
02:05Whoa!
02:06Whoa, whoa, whoa!
02:07It was there that one week ago, the drill entered a possible man-made cavern some 150 feet deep, which sets more than 20 feet above the solution channel.
02:18You can make it almost like a wall or something out there.
02:21When you move away from it, you kind of go into more of an opening here.
02:24After inserting a camera, evidence was revealed of a possible artificial wall.
02:30Show me the money.
02:31And a potential opening to a larger cavity.
02:33We've got an opening.
02:35This made them wonder if an offset treasure chamber connected to the original money pit has been discovered.
02:41Now, while the team waits to view enhanced video images of the mysterious void, they hope to drill into the larger nearby cavity and confirm if it indeed is a man-made chamber.
02:57Oh, look.
02:58Yeah, something's going on over there.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Rod's fell.
03:01He just dropped.
03:02That's really soft, man.
03:04Adam!
03:05Here he comes.
03:07Hey, Adam, how's it going?
03:10I'm good.
03:11Did something happen?
03:13Uh, the rods fell about 16 feet.
03:17Really?
03:18From 128.
03:20Wow.
03:21Well, that's really interesting.
03:22Thanks a lot, Adam.
03:23All right.
03:24That means somewhere between 118 and 128, we went into the soft area.
03:28Right.
03:29Yeah.
03:30All the way to 144.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Wow.
03:33So in core of the peacock, I've always believed is going to be a structure.
03:35Because of the loose soil, when we see those rods drop, that tells us maybe we're close to seeing the structure that we all hope we're going to encounter.
03:43We're going to track that down into the solution channel.
03:45You know, there's plenty of places down there for a treasure to hide.
03:48No question.
03:50We'll move on to the more interesting levels.
03:52Yeah.
03:53As the core drilling pushes deeper in the money pit area.
03:56That mound's getting higher and higher.
03:59Tell me about it.
04:01Rick Lagina and other members of the team continue investigating the southwest corner of the triangle-shaped swamp.
04:09After this, I feel like we only have one little section left behind us.
04:13Yeah.
04:14In recent weeks, the team has been uncovering a mysterious stone road-like feature that may be connected to a similar structure that was found several yards to the north earlier this year.
04:28Curiously, eight-sided wooden survey sticks were found lining both of these features.
04:34And the team also recovered old ox shoes, suggesting the roads may have been used to move heavy cargo into the swamp.
04:45Get in there.
04:46Okay.
04:48The southwest corner is almost done.
04:50What we did learn is we have a possible path or a road to follow.
04:55And the hope is that there'll be some artifacts that can be dated.
04:59And then maybe we can figure out who made these features and why.
05:11Ready for me to go in, Billy?
05:12Yes.
05:13Tick to the bottom there, Gary, maybe?
05:14Yep.
05:27It's getting quiet.
05:28It is.
05:29We ain't had a net in a while now.
05:33This might be the end of the line for this area, I think.
05:36Yeah, I think you're right, Billy.
05:38And we hammered it.
05:40Everywhere we turn in the swamp, we're finding stakes, and that must mean something.
05:44Yep.
05:45It has to.
05:46And my question is, where are we going next?
05:48Because I know that there are other areas of interest.
05:51Yeah.
05:52Who are you, and what did you do with Peter Frenetti?
05:55Hey, Ed, this swamp is looking like a beach right now.
05:59Let's get back into it.
06:00We have three data points that seemingly line up.
06:05An unknown road, path, ox shoes, then you have the stakes.
06:10And who knows what else is after that.
06:13If there's a road, where does it go?
06:16Right now, Steve has projected it to go toward the north end of the bog.
06:20So now it gives us some insight as to where to go next.
06:24And that's every bit as important as an artifact.
06:27Yeah.
06:28We've got to get back to do some homework.
06:30We need to talk to Tom Nolan about where to go next.
06:33So I say we head back.
06:35All right.
06:36All right.
06:37Thanks, Billy.
06:38See ya.
06:39See ya, mate.
06:40As the team works on new plans for digging in the swamp,
06:44later that day...
06:47I'm always grateful to come into the lab.
06:49I think we learn so many things here.
06:52And I'm impressed by these two finds from Lot 8.
06:56In the Oak Island lab, Rick and members of the team join Laird Niven and Emma Culligan
07:02to hear a scientific report on a possible iron knife handle
07:06and a lead bag seal that were found on Lot 8 one week ago.
07:11The iron is kind of more of the mysterious piece.
07:14So we'll start there.
07:15And you can see that wood-like grain structure on it.
07:18So it is hand-forged.
07:20But what is interesting is the shape of it.
07:23So it came in as a possible knife handle.
07:26And it does have some features of it being like the scale of a knife handle.
07:32But it could also have been used as a multi-tool.
07:36Why the round hole at the base and the square hole above?
07:40So this could have been used as a fastener to hold something in place.
07:45A little pivot point.
07:48But this section right here, I can find components that are similar to other tools, but nothing like this.
07:56Okay.
07:57Yeah.
07:58And the composition is clean.
07:59So it's post-medieval, pre-mid 1800s.
08:02So it does fit within the 1700s.
08:04Yep.
08:05It's very peculiar.
08:07You know, it's possible Carmen might have an idea as to what that represents.
08:12Yeah.
08:13But the next item, what does it tell us?
08:16It's a bag seal.
08:19Dating back to as early as the 13th century, lead bag seals were fasteners used to contain large quantities of goods in heavy cloth packages.
08:32I recognized an element of it right away, which was basically a suspended dead sheep.
08:39I found an existing example of this seal, and that is the only example we could find.
08:49So this is the city seal of Leeds in England.
08:54So...
08:55What a macabre design.
08:56I know.
08:57It's so grim.
08:59So this would have been a seal on a finished bale of fabric.
09:04Hmm.
09:05So that implies that it arrived on the island as a bale, and that was taken off in Lot 8.
09:11Wow.
09:13Leeds in the 16th, 17th, and 18th century was, like, the wool manufacturing place in England.
09:22And basically Britain was built around wool.
09:26Oh, really?
09:27Yeah.
09:28That begs the question, what time period?
09:30The Leeds wool industry goes back to the 1300s.
09:33Wow.
09:34In the Oak Island lab, Laird has just confirmed that the lead back seal found on Lot 8 originated in England, and could be as much as 700 years old.
10:01When you say bale, I picture something of great quantity, though.
10:07Let's say the size of this, probably.
10:10That much?
10:11So big.
10:12Yeah.
10:13That's like a hay bale.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Isn't that a lot of fabric for a singular household?
10:18That's the problem.
10:20A singular household, you're going to those people and buying your clothes.
10:23Mm-hmm.
10:24Why on the island?
10:25Here on the island, there were limited families.
10:28Yeah.
10:29Bag seals are not uncommon in North America, but they're usually associated with trade.
10:33Like a fort.
10:34You're finding a lot of things because you're making uniforms, but you're also trading cloth.
10:39So this is our third bale seal.
10:44Now we have three from different areas, so why is it there?
10:49Previously, the team found a lead bag seal on Lot 5 and another on Lot 32, just yards from
10:58the possible stone road that was recently uncovered in the southwest corner of the swamp.
11:04Astonishingly, that bag seal was scientifically matched to the 14th century lead cross, which is believed to be connected to the Knights Templar.
11:15There's enough going on in Lot 8 that I'd like to look closer to take a good look at what's out there.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Could be something else that we're not aware of.
11:26So to that end, I think we need to get back out there.
11:29We have to get to work.
11:30Yes.
11:31You have to find things and I will help you dig.
11:33That sounds like a plan.
11:34That's okay.
11:35That is a plan.
11:36All right.
11:38Thanks, guys.
11:39See you both.
11:40The next day, while drilling continues in the Money Pit area.
11:51You are a firm belief that there are answers to the Oak Island mystery that reside within the bog.
11:57How can you deny it?
11:59No matter how you look at it, somebody did an immense amount of work in that bog.
12:04Rick meets with fellow Oak Island landowner Tom Nolan and other members of the team in the research center to plan their next dig in the swamp.
12:14I think the north end of the bog in terms of the size and the amount of finds in a very confined space was quite exciting and incredibly interesting and incredibly confusing.
12:29The amount of stakes that we found, all of uniform size, uniform strikes in terms of making the sharpened end, eight strokes, and when you look at it as they're plotted, it's meaningful.
12:42Oh, very meaningful.
12:44Somebody was trying to leave a path.
12:47Mm-hmm.
12:48Mm-hmm.
12:49Yeah.
12:50Before uncovering the stone features in the western and southwestern areas of the swamp this year, working with Tom on his property in the northern region, the team previously discovered very similar stone structures and several eight-sided survey stakes, leading to an empty, vault-like structure.
13:10Yeah, the so-called vault was captivating in and of itself.
13:16I mean, we found paths, roads, but that vault was quite singular and unique.
13:22Yeah.
13:23Now, Rick and Tom want to know if all of the stone structures they've uncovered across the swamp are connected, and if other vaults that still contain something valuable are waiting to be found.
13:36The vault, to me, it was a hiding place.
13:40It's in the perfect place to hide it in amongst vegetation and stuff where people probably aren't going to go looking.
13:45Absolutely.
13:46If you are safeguarding something, if you have something really important, you're not going to put all your eggs in one basket.
13:53Right.
13:54And you're going to have one, two, three more.
13:58My hope is that there's a backup vault.
14:00Yep.
14:01We're ready to put the bucket in the ground and see what's under it.
14:04Well, there's no time like the present, right?
14:07Yeah.
14:08Let's go.
14:09Do I say we get out there?
14:10Let's go.
14:11Following the meeting in the research center.
14:15I think we should start here, take this apart, and then once we get across that, just keep going to the other part of the bog.
14:22Yep.
14:23The team begins searching for new clues in the northern region of the swamp.
14:27Gary, it's going to be up to you to find whatever artifacts are here.
14:30For real, we're going to find it.
14:32Okie doke.
14:33You know, the swamp has been enigmatic because virtually every time we dig in there, we find something.
14:41And not just something, we find things that you wouldn't suspect would be in a swamp.
14:47We find things that could very well be related to the mystery of what happened here.
14:54We're close to the line where you found all the stakes.
14:57Yeah.
15:03There's your stake.
15:04Right there.
15:05Probably right there.
15:06Aha!
15:07Probably right there.
15:08probably right there probably right there
15:19what is it eight sided
15:24two three four five six seven there's one there there's the third
15:37yeah there's your eight sides wow they drove that down deep for some reason
15:44that's gonna be really really old
15:47last year these eight-sided stakes led us to a vault the stakes are a puzzle unto themselves
15:58there's every belief that as the stakes continue to be found at some point we will have an explanation
16:05as to why that's where it was right there now we're gonna have to get steve out to pin it right
16:11now before we move it unless you can dig around it out dig on this side and that side maybe they can
16:18help explain the structures that have already been found hey guys hey steve what do we got
16:27you're standing i'm literally standing on it you're literally standing on it all right that's that's
16:33where it was the hole is right there okay the hole is what we want yep and like everything else we're
16:38a foot and a half above sea level and actually most stakes that we have found in the swamp have been a
16:43foot and a half above sea level they've been very consistent which to me means a lot of them are
16:47probably gone in the same time period and that would be pretty interesting yeah and so anyway we'll
16:54keep going thanks steve see you guys appreciate it these stakes almost certainly represents that a group
17:00of individuals did the work implying a reason implying planning maybe it is connected to the vault that
17:08we've discovered i got a signal i'm hoping that there are clues that will lead us to new discoveries
17:19i've got a good signal in that last pile wherever the last pile came from would have been on the bottom
17:25he was he was scraping bottom for that last bucket so it's it was down there that's excellent that's
17:31where we'd find the older artifacts yeah let me see if i can pinpoint it first oh we got here
17:44what we got here what is that in the northern region of the swamp gary has just found an intriguing
17:52artifact you know what that is that's like a snack a latch off a gate or a door it would be
18:00inside an opening and you'd put your thumb on it and you'd open the gate in england we call it a
18:07gate snack it's more than likely and forged this looks really really old a possible gate latch found
18:17in the northern section of the swamp it's a great thought your thumb fits in there perfectly the latch
18:24springs up yeah because these fixtures have been in use as far back as the 13th century
18:30just how old might this artifact be and could it be related to a structure that might be buried in
18:38this area well it's a great sign an old piece of iron came from at the bottom of the dig yeah that
18:45was down deep yeah i'll put it in the bag yeah that's a good find yep okay let it rip out
19:15what you found tom piece of pottery but it's uh it's green green and blue you don't usually see that
19:32color no that decoration is unique too this area with green and the blue glazed pottery it could match
19:43another area where the archaeologists have found it i know it's been found before yeah i think some
19:49green and blue came off the lot 26 wall as well when the archaeologists were investigating taking the
19:56wall apart you have to find artifacts okay get on that in 2022 the team investigated a rock wall on lot 26
20:09because it was much larger and wider than a number of others on the island that are known to have been
20:14built by farmers in the 19th century incredibly in addition to pottery charcoal was found in the wall
20:23that when carbon dated suggested it could be over 500 years old and when portuguese researcher
20:31francisco nougaira inspected it he made a fascinating observation this wall appears to be created in the
20:38world portuguese style of building rock fences no way could this piece of pottery be the same kind
20:47that was found in the wall on lot 26 if so is it possible that the wall is somehow related
20:54to the man-made workings uncovered in the swamp we have a suggestion by experts that some of the
21:03activities conducted here in the island can be associated with the portuguese the stone road
21:09the swamp has portuguese influence the stone wall has influences to put later portuguese templar coin that
21:18was possibly found in the money pit it's a worthy consideration that they all may have a
21:24connection to the mystery and we'll get these fines back to the level i mean we've had a great start to
21:30the dig in this area yep it shows there's things to be found here right yeah i agree we just have
21:38to keep plugging away yeah all right al we'll take her down quite a bit more here perfect no problem
21:46later that day
21:47so this is what i wanted to show you we've got this large boulder yep which is uncommon after looking
21:57around the area on lot eight where the lead back seal was found laird has made a potentially important
22:03discovery we're not seeing it around here a lot that size but then i started seeing the number of
22:10stones that are around it perhaps filling in something even at the berm over there that could
22:18indicate digging it looks like someone was filling in a pit and actually if you look again the rocks seem
22:27to go further off to the east more look at more i see yep could laird be correct that someone deliberately
22:37filled in a pit around this massive boulder with soil and smaller rocks but if so who did it and for
22:45what purpose you know it appears as though there's a ring of stones around the boulder yeah it's not
22:55unusual to find a boulder on oak island but even more interesting was the ground level rock feature around
23:02it my immediate thought was that this was a possible filled in foundation that we're not aware of
23:09i don't know the relationship between that large boulder and this stone formation just yet
23:16but i think it's definitely worth exploring it's interesting there's no doubt about it yeah a lot
23:23eight has intrigued me but then you and katya recently found the bag seal correct which is another
23:29really intriguing artifact i know its function but why is it here and then we find this huge boulder
23:37in these rocks it does make me think that we need to really analyze it it's certainly unique and like
23:44you said you can see the raised areas everywhere right yeah here here yeah there this would have been
23:51quite an effort by someone if this really is a hand-built construction yeah so i think what we'll do
23:59we're gonna clear it off clear the whole area off to get a good idea of what it looks like and then
24:07hopefully taking a section from it sure this may provide a very unique opportunity to try to
24:14understand not only this lot but the entire island you know not every stone on this island means
24:19something yes some of them do do yeah and this may be one of those times yeah if it's been filled in
24:25there might be something hidden that would break the story open at this point the archaeologists need
24:31to get to work this is surely worth investigating you laid out a very proper approach i applaud you for
24:39again being observant um i think if there's any way we can help we'd all would invest some time here
24:47you're leading me to the dark side because i'm really intrigued by that stuff
24:51it does make me think that there's a lot more out there yeah welcome to the dark side
24:57you got work to do let's go
25:02at the start of a new day on oak island we've got lots of work to do guys yeah
25:07yeah laird and members of the archaeology team investigate the possible man-made boulder and
25:15rock feature on lot eight it's a lot of rocks in here laird yep i've never seen this many rocks
25:22underneath the top soil layer yeah kind of looks like there was a cut and at some point it got filled
25:29back in i've got the edge here i think oh you may be coming to an edge well i am getting the different
25:34soil here but you should be coming to what we think may be the redeposited well there's a nice
25:40big lump right behind ethan you're right it's mounded yeah that's a good sign there was digging for
25:46whatever reason and then it got filled in you've got this huge rock in the middle like i find that
25:52strange as well i think we still have to at least define the edges as we go all the way around yeah
25:59uh the boulder okay good okay so let's let's see how far back this goes to me this site is one of
26:07the strangest sites i've been on it doesn't make any sense that someone would come and excavate and then
26:15fill it back full of rocks it's brutal work so i find it very unusual and i can't wait to get the
26:23excavation deeper and hopefully answer some of these questions hey look at this a piece of wood
26:38does that look like that top's been cut before i didn't do that sure it does it doesn't look like
26:46it got snapped off no that's what i'm thinking i think that if that was cut then that could have been
26:52cut by whoever created whatever this is yeah i could see that i mean that was deep that was
26:57that was underneath all these roots that i've been pulling up so that is not something that was on
27:01the surface okay if this was cut that would have been years ago many years ago that's what i'm
27:05thinking the sticks that had cut marks on them that's another evidence of cultural activity happening
27:11there okay we better keep our eye out for stuff like that okay cool as the investigation continues on lot 8
27:17in the money pit area looks like you guys are in bedrock if he's driving it over that would be
27:32his 20 feet through the solution channel i guess we missed the void at 148 feet yeah
27:38after finding no new evidence of the void that was discovered nearly 150 feet deep one week ago
27:47the drilling operation in borehole dn-13 has now reached the solution channel bottom's 208 rock
27:55208 rock is 204 got it at least we have intercepted the bottom of the solution channel in this hole here
28:03here we go she's a full-on anaconda ladies and gentlemen here we go cut her up dn-13 this is the
28:15last gasp i think since we're on bedrock let's see what we got here in front of us this up here actually
28:22was a little bit loose actually it got a little loose between uh 184 and 188 so yeah i think we're
28:30ready for the pinpointer okay this is the more promising upper portion which is quite slushy
28:47it's clear gentlemen okay thank you charles
28:52well it's not the ending we hoped for for dn-13 we've had all kinds of success in this area with
28:59metals being in all the water testing so we'll take a soil sample back to the lab and maybe just
29:05maybe there'll be some hope with this or hole yet i can't believe we've missed an open void at 150-ish
29:10feet if we can prove that there's metals in the soils here and that's through testing through dr
29:16spooner and testing in the lab with emma we can prove that this is potentially still a treasure
29:21location we'll move on and we'll go back to the heart of the peacock then let's try to get back in
29:25that void very good i'm full agreement with that steve okay fair enough
29:32later that afternoon hey guys hey guys hey guys
29:40in the war room rick marty and members of the team meet with video enhancement expert bob brown
29:47from prohawk technology group the reason for this meeting is uh in being 13.5 we put the camera down
29:55and sonar it showed it void uh the thought was to give it to prohawk to enhance the data that we've
30:02given them so having said that bob welcome to the war room appreciate it thank you so much here's a
30:10little of the footage prohawk technology group has worked with the team several times in the past
30:17using their proprietary software to clarify underwater video images collected from deep in the money pit
30:24area this one was really interesting really there were distinct things that we kind of noticed in the
30:31imagery so we found this to be quite interesting as you can see here this cluster of state-like pointed objects
30:43right it just looked arranged and the shapes the tapering the alignment appears deliberate
30:52and would suggest plank stakes something you know of human origin rather than the natural environment
31:05you know i can see a layering effect in there that it does look man-made
31:13we are all intrigued it would defy logic that those could be represented geologically
31:20it's different unexplainable really i mean you guys are dealing with cutting edge technology here yeah
31:28i still need to be convinced but it makes the peacock area that much more interesting
31:34and i think that's what we have to go off of then there were definitely these distinct square
31:40geometry patterns throughout many portions of the video
31:44the edges the uniformity of it um and you take it all together and it really begins to add up that
31:54there's something that's not organic another area we found there was a bright reflective rectangle
32:05right it's got sharp edges it's highly reflected
32:08so that would lead us to believe that there's some type of metallic or polished quality uh that's causing the reflection
32:19a possible rectangular metal object
32:22has the team indeed found a man-made chamber some 150 feet underground in the peacock well yeah i mean this is
32:31really really keenly interesting
32:34if so
32:35could it contain the source of the precious metals that have been detected in water deep in the money pit area
32:41bob if you had to say how likely these at least one of these is a man-made object what would you say
32:48i'd put it over 90 percent
32:50wow
32:51in the oak island war room rick marty craig and members of the team
33:15are viewing enhanced video of a potentially man-made cavern some 150 feet deep in the money pit area
33:23it really came down to geometry precision consistency uh the arrangements materials they strongly suggested
33:32man-made origins it's just really compelling evidence an open void is highly unlikely to be
33:39natural for the depth that we're looking at right correct is there any geologic
33:44explanation for this because i can't really think of one i would say this is my working
33:49premise is that the peacock is the washout around a structure and perhaps we're seeing into that
33:55structure from our actual borehole i mean it's deeper than any searchers and if there are
34:01weird anomalous features that prohawk's picking up it really seems like it's a depositor yeah
34:08i am taken aback by the number of things being represented in such a small confined space
34:16he saw several items that represented very linear 90 degree angles that we've been told many many
34:23times that that doesn't happen in nature and i have no explanation for this reflective image i can only
34:32insinuate that it has something to do with metals being underground perhaps there's a man-made reason
34:39for those highly unconsolidated soils in the peacock this would strongly suggest that the offset chamber
34:46is a valid explanation so this area is quite compelling but i mean does this look like a jumble of
34:53stuff that could have collapsed it it could have collapsed yes okay we should jump up and down about
35:00this data right guys i mean we're seeing man-made objects are strong indications of it in an area
35:06where we have have any indication of any searchers this is the kind of thing that we set out to find
35:12you know for sure we have to explore this further but that's pretty dramatic
35:19the peacock still has very elevated amounts of silver and some other metals in it so here's the
35:26point the source of these metals in the water has still there and hasn't been found but maybe we just
35:36found it bob we hope you've got a bullseye for us yeah i hope so thank you very much appreciate it you
35:44beth our pleasure and uh happy hunting guys thanks bob as the meeting concludes in the war room
35:53i'm just looking at these rocks here what about if you started from the rock in there out yeah
35:58archaeologist fiona steel and members of the team investigate the boulder feature on lot eight i'm
36:05really interested in what's happening down there there's definitely evidence of the stones being
36:11deliberately placed around the outside and underneath this huge erratic boulder such a big rock could
36:17be something that was used for a marker it could be something that that you'd want to hide things
36:22under so it's just so out of the ordinary that we need a little bit more evidence before we can make
36:27that full determination
36:34Fiona yeah
36:37found a piece of wood i don't know if it's cut though look at that bottom yeah that does not look like
36:47it's broken i would say that's cut it was wedged right in there in between the rocks these are the
36:54type of things we need to look out for it could tell us a lot about the age of this feature yeah
37:01oh it goes down
37:05can you get your arm right in there yes you can whoa you're going deep yeah it looks like a void down
37:12there got a big boy down there and you would not expect to see a big void like that right there no not
37:19with the size of the rock and how loose the soil was yeah i would agree this large boulder is getting
37:25more and more interesting because as we're going we're seeing more and more spaces that are underneath
37:29the rock and this really shouldn't be the case that really speaks to what they were doing here yeah
37:35so it's very evident that man has been involved with this folder to some degree it's just a matter of
37:41why they were there or whether they were doing something to hide something in that area well
37:47that's a good indication of possible disturbance i really think that rick might be very interested
37:51in this yeah this is really cool definitely
38:02well looks a bit different hi yeah we've been working hard i see that we've uncovered a fair bit
38:08more of it you should see what we just discovered rick and scott arrive on lot eight after being alerted
38:15that a mysterious void has been found beneath the massive boulder we're seeing voids like that around
38:21other areas around the large rock as well yeah looked like it was going down quite far because
38:25the swell was falling in as i was excavating it and it goes pretty far down
38:33yep
38:39it looked like it was at least three feet that goes down so that's got our curiosity peak that it would
38:44be going that deep you wouldn't expect to see that i find that
38:49that strange see how this almost seems placed jammed up this one almost seems placed that's not a toss-in
38:59look at that that is almost fitted as is that as is that you know like a wedge it is peculiar yeah we've
39:12not found any other feature like this other than maybe the stone structures on lot five
39:20looking at the boulder more closely i was significantly struck by the placement of smaller stones around
39:27it they are equally spaced they are artfully applied if you will but there's a stone then a space then a stone
39:35then a space mother nature wouldn't do that so human beings were involved in doing some work in this
39:42area specifically directed to this stone this may have been completely unknown to previous searchers
39:49it's exciting we need to find out what is underneath that boulder boy there's intention there i think i i
39:58can't imagine how you could explain that other than they were placed there i agree with you a hundred
40:04percent and now you have another reason to be inquisitive why is the void that should be filled up
40:09i would think so i mean if you wanted to hide something there you move something like this in
40:13place you position it i mean it's a unique stone just look at it this could be a great maker stone i'm
40:19more excited about what could be under it we're going to find out once we move the rocks
40:23look the three of you have done an exemplary job here this is singularly unique at least as of right
40:28now yeah yeah we still have a lot more work to do but we're feeling pretty good about how far we've
40:33come so far well a feature like this the one line comes to my mind is leave no stone unturned
40:40we're with you on that patience and persistence have taught rick marty and the team a priceless lesson
40:47the ultimate truth behind the oak island mystery may be hiding in plain sight anywhere across these 140 acres
41:00but as they uncover more clues under man-made features near the surface in a money brackish swamp and deep
41:09in the money pit area will it lead to a vault that people have been seeking for 231 years
41:18or is the truth that oak island contains more buried treasure than anyone ever imagined
41:31next time on the curse of oak island we're in a sweet area right here there's metals in the water high
41:36metals looking for the one thing this could be where it's coming from yeah exactly what are you
41:41seeing peter definitely a void that goes on for a long ways we're gonna get to the bottom of this
41:47a heck of a lot of bricks up here maybe it'll lead to a vault we have evidence the knights of malta
41:54brought relics from the holy land to oak island wow
