00:00Buried treasure has finally been found, but what the team uncovered could change history forever.
00:06In the latest leaked episode of Oak Island's 12th season, the crew's relentless hunt leads them to the legendary chapel vault, a hidden chamber untouched for centuries.
00:16But as they push forward, disaster looms, and the island's ancient defenses are ready to strike back.
00:23Tune in to witness the most shocking moment in Oak Island history, just when they thought they had it all figured out, something happens that changes everything.
00:31The quest for the chapel vault.
00:34For years, Oak Island has been the ultimate playground for treasure hunters.
00:38Legends, secrets, and an elusive fortune buried deep beneath the island's surface have kept fans on the edge of their seats.
00:46Now, with season 12 in full swing, things are about to reach a whole new level.
00:50Episode 13 just leaked, and trust me, the latest developments are nothing short of breathtaking.
00:57But just as they get closer, a discovery changes everything, and not everyone wants it revealed.
01:04The Oak Island crew is back at it, but this time their efforts surpass anything attempted before.
01:10Their target? The legendary chapel vault, a hidden chamber believed to contain gold, jewels, or perhaps even long-lost historical artifacts.
01:19More than a century has passed since the vault was first detected, yet every attempt to reach it has been thwarted by disaster.
01:28Flooded tunnels, sudden collapses, and constant setbacks have kept its secrets intact.
01:34Now, with cutting-edge technology and relentless determination, the team is prepared to go further than ever before.
01:40A massive steel casing is being used, an immense watertight chamber designed to withstand the pressure and hazards of the underground excavation.
01:49This method could finally allow them to penetrate the flooded tunnels, reaching the chapel vault and unlocking its contents.
01:57However, history has proven that Oak Island does not surrender its mysteries easily.
02:01The age-old defenses built to protect whatever lies beneath are still in place.
02:06And no one can predict what will happen next.
02:09Meanwhile, over on Lot 5, an entirely unexpected discovery has sent shockwaves through the search.
02:15A diamond has surfaced.
02:17A discovery that raises more questions than answers.
02:20A gemstone of such significance suggests a connection to someone of great wealth and influence.
02:25Could this be linked to the legendary treasure?
02:28Or is it evidence of a deeper, more intricate history hiding beneath the island's surface?
02:33Theories are abundant, with whispers of the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, and even notorious pirates who may have hidden their wealth long ago.
02:42Each possibility adds to the mounting anticipation, making the next steps in the search even more crucial.
02:49While the diamond alone is a revelation, an even greater discovery looms on the horizon.
02:55The team may have just uncovered the long-lost original money pit.
02:59For centuries, its precise location has been a mystery, buried under layers of failed excavations and shifting earth.
03:06If this truly is the original site, it could change everything.
03:10Understanding how the original depositors constructed their defenses might finally allow the team to outmaneuver the obstacles that have stopped so many before them.
03:19Even with this groundbreaking progress, the challenges remain immense.
03:23The flood tunnels, designed centuries ago to keep intruders out, continue to threaten every effort.
03:29The team's sophisticated equipment may finally give them the upper hand, but history suggests that Oak Island does not easily yield its secrets.
03:38Every time treasure hunters have come close, the island has fought back with sudden floods, cave-ins, and mechanical failures.
03:45The tension is at an all-time high as the excavation reaches its most critical phase yet.
03:51Oak Island's history is filled with stories of near-misses, lost fortunes, and those who got painfully close only to see their dreams slip away.
04:00However, this time feels different.
04:02Technology has advanced, the team is more focused than ever.
04:05And discoveries are piling up at an unprecedented rate.
04:09The combination of the chapel vault dig, the diamond revelation, and the potential rediscovery of the money pit suggests that the pieces of this centuries-old puzzle may finally be falling into place.
04:21With everything happening at once, this episode is set to be the most significant in Oak Island's history.
04:26If the team finally reaches the treasure, it will be a moment that rewrites history.
04:32However, if the island's infamous defenses once again prove too strong, it will be yet another chapter in one of the most enthralling treasure hunts of all time.
04:41Oak Island has a long and mysterious history filled with stories of treasure hunters coming close to success, only to fall short.
04:49Over the years, many people have searched for the island's legendary riches.
04:53But time and time again, they have faced disappointment.
04:57Some have even risked everything, believing that they were on the verge of a breakthrough, only to see their hopes slip away.
05:04However, this time, things feel different.
05:07Technology has improved significantly, allowing the team to search deeper and more precisely than ever before.
05:13Are you ready to uncover the long-lost treasures and solve the mysteries of Oak Island alongside the Lagina brothers and their team?
05:21In this captivating video, we'll witness their efforts to drain the swamp, explore the mysterious boulder pathway, and uncover a game-changing discovery in the money pit.
05:32Let's dive in and unlock the truth together.
05:35On Oak Island, a group of treasure hunters were on a mission to find something incredible.
05:40They had been searching for over 200 years, and all they had found were strange symbols on a stone, bits of bone, and a red cross.
05:46These clues hinted at a treasure that might be linked to the Knights Templar from a long time ago.
05:52In the latest adventure on The Curse of Oak Island, the team found a circle of big rocks in a swamp.
05:58They were excited because they thought this could be a big breakthrough.
06:01To help them understand what they found, they asked Dr. Ian Spooner, an expert in rocks and soil.
06:09Dr. Spooner believed that the swamp was made by people a very long time ago.
06:13The team was eager to see what secrets the swamp held, and they hoped it would lead them to the hidden treasure.
06:19As the team explored the swamp, they found huge rocks that looked like the ones in another place on the island called Nolan's Cross.
06:26The rocks even had the same blue clay on them that others had found deep in the money pit many years ago.
06:34The team thought these discoveries were important and might help them solve the mystery.
06:38Even though they had drained the swamp a week before, the team faced challenges like mud and sticks as they tried to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the rocks.
06:47The swamp kept its secrets, making the treasure hunters curious about what more it might reveal.
06:52Although a team led by Rick and Marty, along with others, had been digging through mud for five weeks.
06:58They found a big stone area that Dr. Spooner said was made by people.
07:03Near the swamp's eye, they also found boulders that made them wonder if they were part of the stone area.
07:09A guy named Jerry wasn't sure.
07:12He'd seen boulder pavements before, but they usually had a specific kind of soil with them.
07:16They talked about sediment from 8,000 years of wind filling in the area fast after it was deposited.
07:24The team noticed the filled-in cellars looked just like the uncovered stones.
07:28It was odd, and they couldn't figure out a natural process that could make it happen.
07:33There was no composted layer hinting at some disruptive event in the past.
07:39Dr. Spooner surprised everyone by saying the stones might have been put there on purpose.
07:43They wanted more proof to solve the mysteries of the swamp.
07:48The talk shifted to the activity beneath the surface and the need to explore deeper.
07:53Meanwhile, 1,000 miles away in Traverse City, Michigan, Marty, Rick's brother,
07:58had an important phone call with Mark Monahan of Irving Equipment Limited.
08:02They talked about the steel cofferdam around Smith's Cove, a key part of the Oak Island investigation.
08:08The government permit for the cofferdam would expire in a month.
08:14Marty stressed the urgency to remove it and follow environmental rules by restoring the area.
08:19The team faced pressure to finish these tasks before the permit expired,
08:24adding more complexity to the Oak Island mystery.
08:28The team really wishes they could keep that steel dam forever, but time is their enemy.
08:33The permission is about to end, and they have to act fast.
08:36They need to remove the dam's big metal sheets, and that comes with its own set of problems they have to figure out.
08:43Taking apart the dam is a tight schedule.
08:45It needs about three weeks to take it off the site safely.
08:48They're getting ready to do that, trying to set up everything so they can meet the deadline.
08:54To remove the dam, they have to use huge cranes and heavy machines all around the area.
08:58This means that Rick, Marty, and their pals will have to stop their search in the uplands and Smith's Cove for the rest of the year.
09:06The people from Irving, who are helping with all this, are really into the project.
09:13It's not just a regular job for them.
09:15They're putting a lot into it.
09:18While discussing their commitment, someone shares some exciting news.
09:22When they were digging in the uplands, looking for a possible tunnel.
09:26A hole filled up with water suddenly.
09:28It was like a water geyser shooting up, and everyone got pretty excited about it.
09:35Just a week ago, they were doing some tests in the uplands, and it seemed like there might be a hidden tunnel underground.
09:41Even though they had to stop digging for a bit because of the water-filled hole, the team is hopeful.
09:47They think this might finally be the main flood tunnel they've been looking for.
09:51Now they're in a rush to take the dam down.
09:53They have to do it in a way that doesn't harm the environment, so no dirt or stuff gets into the ocean.
10:00Time is running out, and they also need to find a boat in Smith's Cove.
10:04It's going to be a busy scene with all the equipment they have to use.
10:08The team is ready to face the challenges ahead, and they're determined to make it all work out.
10:14Rick and Billy, who had a big job to do.
10:17They heard that time was running out to explore the uplands of Smith's Cove,
10:20so they decided to focus on finding a special tunnel that brought seawater into the money pit.
10:27Billy, the heavy equipment operator, was ready to dig as deep as possible.
10:31Everyone hoped they'd discover a tunnel, and the excitement was building.
10:35Rick knew that if they found and closed off this tunnel, they could solve some big mysteries on Oak Island.
10:41As they started their work, they found many old wooden structures at the uplands in Smith's Cove.
10:47These were clues left behind by others who searched for something important in the past.
10:52Rick and Billy felt like they were on the right path.
10:56Just two weeks ago, they found a wooden structure with coconut fiber, which made them even more hopeful.
11:02Now they believed they were close to their goal.
11:05The main flood tunnel, guarded by tricky traps, might be just around the corner.
11:10The team thought about a wall they found and wondered if it was part of the tunnel or something else.
11:14They carefully cleaned the area, trying to get closer to the truth.
11:20While digging, they noticed an intact wall on one side.
11:24This made them wonder if they were dealing with a tunnel at all.
11:28They took their time to figure out if it was a real wall or just the impression of boards on the clay.
11:34They expanded their efforts, inching closer to solving the puzzle.
11:38Time was ticking, and they felt the pressure, but they didn't give up.
11:42Billy's big equipment uncovered more clues, and Rick paid attention to every little detail.
11:49Even if they didn't find the tunnel, they were on an exciting adventure,
11:54working together to uncover the secrets hidden beneath Oak Island.
11:58They found something exciting.
12:00As they dug in the ground, they discovered a strong wall.
12:03It didn't look like a regular tunnel.
12:05The team felt curious and wondered if it could be something special.
12:10One person in the group noticed the intact wall and shared their suspicions.
12:15They thought it might not be just any tunnel, but something more interesting.
12:19They all looked closely, eager to learn more about their unexpected discovery.
12:24While they chatted about their find, someone named Ginger joined them.
12:28Even though they were on a treasure hunt, they took a moment to say hello and ask how Ginger was doing.
12:34The atmosphere was filled with excitement and friendship.
12:38As they continued digging, one person explained the significance of the wall.
12:42They encouraged the team to clear away the dirt to see it better.
12:45The team worked together to reveal more details about the structure they had found,
12:50which was about six feet below the surface.
12:52In the midst of their exploration, another team member shared insights into their mission.
12:58They were thrilled to find a wooden shaft, adding a new twist to their quest for treasure.
13:03But there was still uncertainty, and they knew they needed to expose more of the structure to confirm its origins.
13:10While one group focused on digging, another group investigated an area called the Uplands.
13:16Alex Lagina and Peter Brunetti arrived to check on the progress of archaeologist Laird Nevin
13:21and conservator Kelly Barasa.
13:24They were digging carefully, searching for important objects that could tell them more about Daniel McGinnis,
13:30one of the first people to discover the Money Pit in 1795.
13:35Two weeks ago, the team got permission from the government to start their exploration.
13:40Led by Laird, they dug in small sections, looking for clues hidden underground.
13:46Recent scans of the ground hinted at a possible underground space,
13:49making them even more curious.
13:52The story took an interesting turn when they heard about a theory from James McQuiston.
13:58He believed that McGinnis didn't just stumble upon the Money Pit.
14:01He knew about it beforehand because he was connected to something called Freemasonry.
14:05This added a mystery to the team's adventure.
14:11Laird, Nevin, and Kelly were busy exploring the McGinnis Foundation.
14:16They found a building with a wall but no window, and they thought it was a clue, like a piece of a puzzle.
14:22Excited about this discovery, they talked about how this building could tell them part of the story of the McGinnis family.
14:28It was like finding a key to unlock the secrets of what happened to them on that lot.
14:34They were hopeful that this was just the beginning of solving the whole mystery.
14:39As they left the site, they kept their fingers crossed, meaning they were really hoping for good things.
14:45They were ready to follow any trails and learn more about the McGinnis family.
14:50Later that day, the friends joined others in a special room called the War Room.
14:54There, they listened to a report about a special artifact called an LED that Rick LaGena and Gary Drayton found a week ago on Lot 17, near the Money Pit area.
15:05They were so curious about this artifact that they had a professor, Dr. Chris McFarland, join them via video to explain some test results.
15:14The tests used a powerful laser to study tiny bits of the artifact.
15:19It was like using a super microscope.
15:21The results showed that the artifact was made of lead, and there was something strange about it.
15:27It had mercury and tin.
15:29The friends were puzzled, wondering how this could happen.
15:32Was it natural, or did someone put these things there?
15:35A person who knew a lot about this stuff explained that the mercury probably didn't come from the lead itself.
15:41That's because when you heat up mercury, it disappears.
15:45This made the friends even more curious and surprised.
15:48They talked about different ideas, like one from a guy named Peter Amundsen.
15:54He believed that a famous person named Sir Francis Bacon, who lived a long time ago, had a way of keeping important papers safe using mercury.
16:04Some people even thought Bacon buried treasures on Oak Island.
16:08The friends couldn't believe what they were hearing.
16:10They wondered if Bacon, who was also thought to be the secret writer of plays by William Shakespeare, might have hidden those plays on Oak Island.
16:19It was like being part of a big adventure, trying to solve a mystery that had been going on for hundreds of years.
16:26People say he was a smart guy from England in the 1600s.
16:29Some folks believe he led a secret group called the Rosicrucian, connected to the Knights Templar, and that he hid treasures on Oak Island.
16:38They even think he might have put Shakespeare's secret writings in a vault on the island, protected by a special substance called mercury.
16:46They think about friends of the Knights Templar who used to hang out there.
16:49It's like connecting dots on a treasure map.
16:54Next, they discuss another discovery, a lead thing that might be from the same faraway place.
16:59They remember a 700-year-old lead cross found earlier.
17:03That cross also came from a place linked to the Knights Templar.
17:08It's like finding puzzle pieces that fit together, creating a bigger picture.
17:13Now we jump to Oak Island.
17:15There's a team racing against time, like in an exciting race.
17:19Rick and Craig hear about something important near an old home.
17:22It's like a hidden door.
17:24Could it lead to a secret basement below?
17:28Maybe the person who lived there, Daniel McGinnis, hid something special in the money pit.
17:34The team digs and finds something cool, a trap door.
17:37It's like a secret entrance.
17:39They wonder if McGinnis used it to hide a super valuable treasure.
17:43As they dig, they find an old knife.
17:46It's the oldest thing they've found.
17:48The knife is super old and fancy, like from a Knight's story.
17:53The team got super excited about the knife.
17:56Laird said it was different from other stuff they found.
17:58It was like finding a special piece of history.
18:02They were finishing up their search, but the best part was still to come.
18:06As they dug more, they discovered something surprising, a big house.
18:12The house was way bigger than they thought, and the things they found were really, really old.
18:18This made the treasure hunt even more interesting.
18:20But here's the tricky part.
18:22The McGinnis Foundation, where they were digging, is a special place protected by the government.
18:28It meant they couldn't dig too much without a special permit.
18:32Laird had a permit, but it was not enough.
18:35To dig more, they needed another paper called an expanded permit.
18:39Getting that paper could take a long time, maybe even months.
18:43The team's geologist, Terry, talked about the why behind the things people did on Oak Island.
18:49They wanted to understand the story behind every little thing they found.
18:53Every discovery was like a piece of a big storybook.
18:56And they wanted to make sure to read every page.
18:59The bone-handled knife was a special page directly connected to Oak Island's history.
19:05Later that day, two guys named Rick and Terry went to a place near Smith's Cove.
19:10There, a guy named Billy was using big machines to dig a hole in the ground.
19:15They hoped the hole would connect to a secret tunnel leading to a place called the Money Pit.
19:19The guys went down into the hole and saw some walls.
19:22It was like a secret passage.
19:24They found wooden walls made by hand a long time ago.
19:27It reminded them of other things they found on the island.
19:31Billy had a plan to dig into the walls and see what was behind them.
19:35The wall had old wood that was cut with an axe.
19:38It looked just like the wood they had found in another place, shaped like a U.
19:43The friends thought the same group of people might have made both things a long time ago.
19:48While they were exploring, they noticed the year 1769 written somewhere.
19:53It made them wonder if the same group had been here using similar tools.
19:56The friends were excited about this discovery and couldn't wait to find out more.
20:02They found wood that had been cut with an axe, just like in a big U-shaped structure they had found underground last year.
20:09Scientists said that the U-shaped structure was built more than 25 years before they found the Money Pit in 1795.
20:16It made them think they might be close to finding a famous flood tunnel.
20:20The friends decided to lower a bucket into a deep hole to see what was down there.
20:26Bill told them to be careful and bring the bucket slowly.
20:29Everyone watched with anticipation, wondering what secrets the hole held.
20:35The bucket went down softly and everyone hoped it would reveal something amazing.
20:39As it descended, they saw old wood and it made them curious.
20:44They wanted to know if it was worn out or just playing tricks with the light.
20:48Bill carefully examined what the bucket brought up.
20:51The friends were excited to see something there.
20:54They couldn't believe what they might discover next.
20:56It felt like an adventure, with everyone on the edge of their seats.
20:59As the bucket continued to bring things up, the friends got a sense that they were on to something big.
21:06It felt like finding a hidden tunnel, something people had been looking for a very long time.
21:12The friends couldn't help but feel amazed at what might be waiting for them deep below.
21:17According to Bill, finding an original tunnel on Oak Island was like the best part of the day.
21:23They knew it was a crucial moment in their exploration.
21:25It made them wonder about the people who first made this tunnel and how determined they must have been.
21:32Rick, Billy, and Terry were on a big adventure to find a secret tunnel that connects to the Money Pit on Oak Island.
21:38They found cool stuff, but the sun went down, so they had to wait for a new day.
21:43When the sun came up, everyone was excited.
21:47Marty and Craig joined the team to help stop the tunnel that brings water to the Money Pit.
21:52They found something special, a piece of wood that looked really old.
21:57They thought it might be part of the tunnel.
21:59The wood was shaped like a U and reminded them of a time long before the Money Pit was made.
22:05But there was a problem.
22:07This was their last chance to make a big discovery because they had to stop looking tomorrow.
22:12They needed to remove a big steel wall around Smith's Cove.
22:16While digging, they found more old things.
22:18Each one was unique and made them wonder if they were close to solving the Oak Island mystery.
22:24The team was curious and excited, but time was running out.
22:28Billy dug deeper, hoping to find more answers.
22:31The wood they found was so interesting, and they wanted to know if it was a part of the flood tunnel.
22:36With every scoop of dirt, the team felt the thrill of getting closer to solving the mystery.
22:42They knew they had to decide.
22:44Keep looking for the tunnel, or stop because of the big steel wall.
22:47In the race against time, the team kept digging.
22:51They were determined to uncover the secrets hidden in Oak Island soil.
22:55Each find brought more questions, but they were excited about the chance to solve a mystery that had been there for a very long time.
23:03As the day went on, the team wondered if the old wood and unique pieces held the key to Oak Island's secrets.
23:10The clock was ticking, but their hope and curiosity kept them going.
23:13They wanted to leave no stone unturned, hoping that every scoop of dirt would bring them closer to the answer they were searching for.
23:23Imagine a group of people with a never-ending thirst for knowledge and a lot of energy going on a mission to find riches that have been buried deep underground for more than 200 years.
23:32Today, we're going to join on an adventure like with the Lagina crew like no other.
23:38We're going to dig through the layers of time to find the mystery secrets that are dormant on a strange Oak Island.
23:45Come with us as we dig deeper into history and into the unknown.
23:48Marty thought they needed more buckets to uncover more secrets.
23:54The others agreed, and they quickly got two or three more buckets.
23:58Ready for a new discovery, they started digging, hoping to find structures hidden in the ground.
24:04As they dug, Marty hit something hard.
24:08It could be a rock or a big piece of wood, she thought.
24:10They looked closely at what they found, making sure not to miss any details.
24:15They talked about using a safety harness to stay secure while exploring.
24:21The team wondered if they had found the famous flood tunnel booby trap system.
24:26This was a tricky thing that puzzled people for a very long time.
24:30Excited and curious, they decided to investigate more to understand what they had discovered.
24:35They continued digging, and soon they found a tunnel.
24:38It looked like a dark pathway going deeper into the ground,
24:42but they weren't sure how safe it was because it was about 50 feet below the surface.
24:48Still, they kept going, eager to find out more about this mysterious place.
24:53The team started to think they might have found the main flood tunnel that everyone had been looking for,
24:58the one that hid for centuries.
25:00They realized it wasn't very stable, and they needed to be careful.
25:04Trying to solve the mystery, they came up with a smart idea.
25:07They decided to put a camera on the side of a bucket to explore without going down themselves.
25:14This way, they could see what was below without any danger.
25:18With the camera in place, they lowered it down and began to see the secrets hidden beneath the surface.
25:25It was like magic as the camera showed them the hidden details of the flood tunnel.
25:29The team were thrilled to be part of a big adventure, getting closer to solving the puzzle that had intrigued people for so long.
25:38They gathered around a big digging machine.
25:40They wanted to find out what was hiding deep beneath the ground, but there was a problem.
25:45They couldn't make a safe hole to go down and see, so they came up with a clever idea.
25:50Instead of going down themselves, they decided to use a special camera on the digging machine's long arm.
25:56As the camera went down, the explorers saw something interesting on the left wall, lots of wood and structures.
26:03It looked like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
26:06Excitement filled the air, and they decided to follow the path with the wooden structures.
26:12But then, a surprise.
26:14The camera found a hole.
26:16Everyone wondered if it was a tunnel.
26:18The camera had gone through the wood, showing a mysterious space below.
26:23The team got curious, but they also knew it was important to be careful.
26:28Someone in the group thought it was best to leave that spot and go back up.
26:32Safety first.
26:34Back at the surface, they all gathered to talk about what they saw.
26:38Billy, one of the explorers, felt confident they had enough information to figure out the mystery.
26:44In a special room they called the War Room, the team watched the video from the camera.
26:51It showed the camera going down 30 feet, revealing rocks and interesting structures.
26:57The explorers talked about the chance of a collapsed tunnel and pointed out wooden beams on the sides.
27:03They wondered about the purpose of U-shaped structures they saw.
27:07The conversation then turned to dendrochronology, a fancy word for figuring out how old wood is.
27:13If the wood was old, it could tell them a lot.
27:17The team thought about what it would mean if the wood turned out to be really old,
27:20connecting it to a possible flood tunnel.
27:24They were super excited about a clue from the year 1769,
27:28thinking it could lead them to something valuable.
27:30But there was a catch.
27:32They needed proof that the wood they found was really, really old.
27:36They used a fancy method called dendrochronology to check the age of the wood.
27:41If it turned out to be old, it would mean they discovered something super important,
27:46like a key to a hidden tunnel.
27:48But the problem was, time was running out.
27:52Big machines were coming to take away a steel wall called a cofferdam,
27:56making it impossible for them to keep searching.
27:59Despite their hopes, they had to face the sad reality.
28:03The big machines were about to show up,
28:05and the team had to stop searching for the rest of the year.
28:07It was a real bummer.
28:10One of the team members pointed out something interesting.
28:13They found layers of soil and wood,
28:15which made them think there might be a secret tunnel.
28:18But they couldn't be sure until they got the results of their tests.
28:22As the machines roared to life,
28:24they took down the steel wall, ending a two-year adventure.
28:28The once-busy site turned quiet.
28:30It was a bit sad,
28:31but they also found some cool stuff,
28:33like old numbers, a strong wall, and even a light-up cross
28:36that was really, really old.
28:39The team spent a lot of time and money to uncover these treasures,
28:42showing how important they were.
28:44The team felt a mix of emotions as they packed up.
28:48They discovered so much,
28:49but there was still a big question.
28:52Did they find everything?
28:54Oak Island kept some secrets,
28:57and the team couldn't help wondering
28:58what else was hidden beneath the soil.
29:00The island had a history full of exciting clues
29:03and dangerous curses.
29:05The team was determined to find out more,
29:07no matter how long it took.
29:09However, people were searching for a special treasure
29:12for more than 200 years.
29:14They found a big stone with strange carvings,
29:16bits of human bone,
29:18and a lead cross linked to the Knights Templar.
29:21Six brave people had lost their lives
29:23trying to solve this mystery.
29:25To find the treasure,
29:27one more person had to give their life.
29:30Rick and Marty Lagina lead a group.
29:33They were digging near Smith's Cove,
29:35hoping to uncover the main flood tunnel
29:37that had kept the treasure hidden for so long.
29:40In the daylight,
29:41the team faced a huge challenge.
29:44They found big boards from an old shaft
29:46in the Uplands area.
29:48The team believed they were close
29:49to making a significant discovery.
29:51As they dug,
29:52they came across a deep shaft
29:54with no bottom in sight.
29:55Just a week before,
29:56they had found a vertical searcher shaft
29:58from 1850,
30:00built by the True Rock Company.
30:02It touched the main flood tunnel,
30:04but the treasure remained out of reach.
30:06Now, with determination in their hearts,
30:09the team was ready to face the mysteries
30:11beneath Oak Island once again.
30:13The scene was intense,
30:14with the brothers and their team
30:15eager to conquer the challenges of Oak Island.
30:18Ancient hand-carved timbers
30:20and mysterious shafts
30:21revealed the island's secrets.
30:23The team's excitement grew
30:24as they found another hand-carved timber,
30:28a clue left by those who came before them.
30:30The journey into Oak Island's heart continued,
30:33uncovering more secrets
30:34with each layer of soil they removed.
30:37The island guarded its treasures fiercely,
30:39testing those who sought its mysteries.
30:41The search for the main flood tunnel
30:43became more intense,
30:44but the team faced the challenge with courage.
30:48A week ago,
30:49Jack Bagley,
30:50one of the team members,
30:51dug deep
30:52and found a lot of coconut fiber
30:53near the bottom of the shaft.
30:55Everyone got really excited
30:57because coconut fiber was used in the past
30:59to set up traps
31:00protecting valuable treasures,
31:02like the one they believed
31:03was in the money pit.
31:05The team felt confident and eager
31:07to keep digging
31:08when they found large pieces of wood.
31:11These pieces hinted
31:12at an ancient structure
31:13that guarded the money pit,
31:15making the team even more determined
31:16to uncover its secrets.
31:19While they worked,
31:20they discovered old iron spikes
31:22from the 1700s.
31:24If these spikes were older
31:25than the original money pit discovery
31:27in 1795,
31:28it meant someone else
31:29might have built the structure,
31:31not the true rock company.
31:33The mystery deepened
31:34as they wondered
31:34if these spikes were connected
31:36to the hidden flood tunnel system.
31:38Amidst all this excitement,
31:40Gary Drayton joined the team
31:41in the war room for a meeting.
31:43They received news
31:44about a seismic scanning project
31:46conducted by Eagle Canada.
31:48This project involved
31:49exploding 18,000 dynamite charges
31:52across Oak Island,
31:54creating a map
31:55of possible hidden tunnels
31:56and structures
31:57beneath the ground.
31:59Through a video call,
32:00Rick's brother Marty
32:01and their partner,
32:02Craig Tester,
32:03shared the results
32:04of the project.
32:05The scanning process
32:06gave them clues
32:07about what might be hiding
32:08up to 300 feet
32:09below the island's surface.
32:11The team was thrilled
32:12by this new information
32:14and saw it
32:15as a potential breakthrough
32:16in their quest
32:16for the treasure.
32:18They were curious
32:18about what lay hidden underground.
32:21They looked at some fancy data
32:22that showed possible secret tunnels
32:24and strange things
32:25under the earth.
32:26One friend got super excited
32:28when they found something weird
32:30on the southeastern side
32:31of a big hole.
32:32They called it
32:33an obnoxious anomaly,
32:35which means something strange.
32:37The friends wondered
32:38if there were tunnels
32:39down there
32:39and talked about a line
32:41going to the money pit.
32:43They asked about flood tunnels,
32:44but it was like a puzzle
32:45with missing pieces.
32:47They found a big weird thing
32:48about 60 feet deep
32:50like a spotlight
32:50on a mystery.
32:52The friends thought,
32:53could this be connected
32:54to a wooden thing
32:55they found before,
32:56way back in 1735?
32:59It was older
33:00than even the famous money pit.
33:02The friends wondered
33:03if this strange thing
33:04could be a trap
33:05protecting the money pit.
33:06It felt like they were
33:07in a cool treasure hunt
33:08and they couldn't wait
33:09to find out more.
33:11Soon,
33:12two days later,
33:13two new friends
33:14joined the adventure.
33:16They brought a huge machine
33:17like a superhero excavator
33:19to dig deep
33:20into the ground.
33:22Everyone was excited
33:23to meet the new friends
33:24and see the superhero
33:25excavator in action.
33:27The new friends
33:27explained that the excavator
33:29had a super long arm
33:30like a superhero's reach
33:32to dig down 60 feet.
33:34The friends were amazed
33:35and happy to have
33:36such a powerful tool
33:37to uncover the secrets below.
33:39With a plan in place,
33:40they started the big mission.
33:42The friends chatted
33:43about the superhero excavator
33:45and how it was different
33:46from a regular one.
33:47It had a super long
33:4964 foot reach,
33:50making it perfect
33:51for their special
33:52digging mission.
33:53The air was filled
33:54with excitement
33:55as Billy Gerhardt,
33:56an expert with heavy equipment,
33:58operated the excavator.
34:00The team was digging deep,
34:02hoping to find hidden secrets
34:03beneath the island.
34:05Billy was doing a great job,
34:07going down 50 feet
34:08into the ground
34:08just a bit away
34:09from their goal.
34:10Marty Lagina,
34:12leading the team,
34:13was eager to uncover
34:14the mysteries of Oak Island.
34:16The team was hopeful,
34:17thinking they might find
34:18old flood tunnels
34:19that held the key
34:20to the island's secrets.
34:22As the day went on,
34:23Billy's work showed progress
34:25and everyone was impressed.
34:27The excitement grew
34:28as they got closer
34:29to the crucial 50 foot mark.
34:31Craig Tester
34:32and Jack Begley
34:32wanted to check things out
34:33up close,
34:35looking at the ceiling
34:35for any hidden clues.
34:36The team held their breath,
34:39hoping for some exciting news.
34:41Suddenly,
34:42a discovery changed everything.
34:45Water started rushing in,
34:46a sign that they might
34:47be onto something big.
34:49The team watched,
34:50talking about
34:51what this find could mean.
34:53The water was pouring in,
34:54and they started to think
34:55they might be close
34:56to uncovering
34:57the legendary flood tunnels.
35:00Marty Lagina joined the group
35:02to see the excitement.
35:03The water kept coming,
35:04and the team wondered
35:05if it was fresh or salty.
35:08They were getting more
35:08and more curious
35:09about what they had stumbled upon.
35:12But then,
35:13things took a turn
35:14for the worse.
35:15Cracks appeared
35:16and the ground started shaking.
35:18It became dangerous
35:19and the team had to hurry
35:20to get out of there.
35:21The ground was collapsing,
35:23covering up the progress
35:24they had made
35:25with tons of dirt.
35:27Outside the dig site,
35:28the team gathered
35:29and thought about
35:30what had just happened.
35:31The danger reminded them
35:32of the challenges
35:33they faced
35:34in finding Oak Island's secrets.
35:36The flood tunnel,
35:37designed long ago
35:38to stop treasure hunters,
35:40had done its job.
35:42The team's efforts
35:43to uncover the island's mysteries
35:45were buried under the earth.
35:47They faced a big problem.
35:49The ground was not stable,
35:51and they had to do
35:51something quickly
35:52to make it safe.
35:54They decided to fill a hole
35:55to stop it from getting worse.
35:57This meant they had
35:58to stop digging for a while
35:59until the ground
36:00became steady again.
36:01The next day,
36:03the team was excited
36:04to continue their adventure.
36:06Rick, Marty, Craig,
36:07and others were eager
36:08to find something amazing
36:09in the swamp,
36:10which had a funny triangle shape.
36:12They were especially curious
36:14about the eye of the swamp,
36:16a special spot
36:16where they found
36:17a circle of stones
36:18under the water.
36:19While exploring,
36:21they heard a sound
36:22when their tools
36:23touched something metal.
36:24This made them really happy
36:26because they thought
36:27they might be about
36:27to discover something important.
36:29This discovery reminded them
36:31of a story from researchers
36:33who believed that long ago,
36:35a group called
36:36the Knights Templar
36:36hid precious treasures
36:37in the swamp.
36:39The story said
36:40that a painter
36:40named Nicholas Boussard
36:41knew about it
36:42and hid clues
36:43in three paintings.
36:45Everyone was excited
36:46about what they might find.
36:48They decided to drain
36:49the water from the swamp
36:50using a big pump
36:51and remove debris
36:52with a huge excavator
36:54operated by Marty and Billy.
36:56The eye of the swamp,
36:57with its circle of stones,
36:59held the key
36:59to solving the mystery
37:00they had been chasing
37:01for a long time.
37:02With their tools ready,
37:04the team started
37:05to drain the swamp.
37:06The water went away,
37:08revealing the ground below.
37:10Marty looked at the clues
37:11they had
37:11and thought about
37:12what they might find.
37:14The excitement was building up
37:15as they got closer
37:16to the eye of the swamp.
37:17As the water went away,
37:19the team could finally
37:20see the ground.
37:22Marty and Billy worked hard
37:23to clear away
37:23the mud and debris.
37:25They were determined
37:26to reach the eye of the swamp
37:27and find out
37:27what secrets it held.
37:29The team knew
37:30they were on
37:31an important journey
37:32and they couldn't wait
37:33to see what mysteries
37:35the swamp would reveal.
37:37While some of the team
37:37focused on getting rid
37:39of the water,
37:40Marty and Billy
37:40used a huge machine
37:42to scoop out water and junk.
37:44Marty kept an eye on things,
37:46making sure the swamp's heart
37:47was getting empty.
37:49As the sun went down,
37:50one of the team members
37:51was really excited
37:52about going back
37:53to a place called
37:54Lot 17.
37:55It seemed like
37:56a special spot
37:57where something interesting
37:58might be waiting.
38:00The next day,
38:01Rick and Gary
38:02explored Lot 17.
38:04It was near
38:04the Money Pit area
38:05and a recent hurricane
38:07had made the island
38:08change a lot.
38:09The team hoped
38:10to find important clues
38:11or things from the past
38:12that got uncovered
38:13because of the storm.
38:15The team was excited
38:16to look for special things
38:18that might have come
38:19closer to the surface
38:20because of the hurricane.
38:22Lot 17 had been good
38:23to them before
38:24and they were hopeful
38:25it would be again.
38:27In the middle
38:28of their search,
38:28Gary,
38:29who was really good
38:30at finding things
38:31with metal detectors,
38:32spotted something unusual,
38:34a big chunk
38:35that didn't belong there.
38:37Everyone got excited,
38:38wondering what it could mean.
38:40They talked about
38:41other things
38:42they had found before,
38:43like a very old
38:44lead cross.
38:45This cross was linked
38:46to a faraway place
38:47with knights
38:47and lots of history.
38:49The team wondered
38:50if the new discovery
38:51could be connected
38:51to these other special things.
38:54The next morning,
38:56Rick, Gary and the team
38:57gathered at a place
38:59called the Eye of the Swamp.
39:01They had drained the area
39:02enough to start digging.
39:04It was time to explore
39:05a strange rock
39:06and metal formation
39:07that Gary and Marty
39:08found a few weeks ago.
39:10As they dug into the ground,
39:11Gary spotted something interesting,
39:13a big piece of rock.
39:15He thought it might be important
39:16and the team got curious
39:18about what secrets it held.
