Ordinary pirates, privateers and the like did not have the expertise to construct such deep and well-supported structures to hide their loot. If the timber-supported tunnels and shafts found actually date from the 17th or 18th century, it seems clear that the tunnels and shafts were constructed by military sappers (tunnel diggers). I have always been fascinated by the story. Like Rick and Marty, and many others, I read that Reader’s Digest article when I was a kid. They then moved them to other secret locations, the last being on Oak Island.Ĭould it be that the Lagina’s and their crew are not just treasure hunters looking for treasure, but are on a mission to restore these artifacts to the world, and thus resurrecting renewed faith in God and Jesus Christ? It is thought that the Knights Templar found the ARK and other artifacts related to pre-Christian and to the life of Jesus in the Holy City and secreted them to their strongholds in Europe. because of the evidence that the Knights Templar were active on the island, the fantastic treasure will be THE ARK OF THE COVENANT!!!!!!!! and other valuable religious artifacts. I dare to further predict that the “treasure”, when exposed, will be one of the most important finds in history. Now, I predict that this season will be so exciting that the program will go down in history as one of the best ever and will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. I love this program and the flashbacks help to cement this true story as it goes on to the future. I have easily ignored all the negative comments so far. Jack Begley exclaimed, “How can you stop after finding a Roman coin?” And Gary pointed out that it’s not just about the Money Pit anymore there’s treasure to be found all over the island. Every one of them agreed to return to Oak Island next year. When the new season hits, all they have to do is continue where they left off.Īnd the guys are totally pumped for Season 11. Unlike the end of Season 9, which felt like a total failure with the guys back to square one, this season feels like it ended with the guys on the right track. Pic credit: History The team is ready for The Curse of Oak Island Season 11 This is actually down on Season 9, which caused Gary to quip, “Wow… I’ve been slacking.” This year the Oak Island team found over 800 artifacts. These included the ancient Roman coin found on Lot 5 and the barter token that had a similar composition to the 14th-century cross.Īll in all, the guys uncovered a whopping 800 artifacts over the year. In the meantime, the team had laid out the most significant finds and talking points from the season. Marty asked, “There’s a massive treasure within 15 feet of the garden shaft?” to which Ian responded, “Yeah, we’ve narrowed an area something’s close by.” This was already suspected, but it’s sure nice to get it confirmed.

Ian Spooner told the guys that further studies on the water samples in the garden shaft area verify there’s a big deposit within 15 feet of the bottom of the shaft. Spooner says the treasure is within 15 feet of the garden shaft

But next spring, they’ll be back to dig down to those non-ferrous hits. The muddy ground at the bottom of the shaft was far too unstable at this point, meaning the guys could only listen to pings from the metal detector.
