"RICK:" "Here we are digging in the Money Pit." "Man, did we "bingo" that." "That's pretty impressive." "MATTY:" "We've seen mysteriouscarvings..." "TONY:" "This thing's amazing." "I've never seen anything like this." "MATTY: jaw-dropping artifacts..." "We've got a coin!" "That is old." "This is a piece of a Spanish galleon." "MATTY: and then, there werethosegame-changing findsattheMoneyPit!" "What the heck is going on down there?" "That piece was used for treasure chests." "That's fantastic." "MATTY:" "By far, this season wasthebiggest andmostambitious seasonofthemall ." "Butstill..." "Iwantedmore." "SoI traveledto  RickandMarty'shomebase  inTraverseCity,Michigan, tomeetwiththe team, andgetafirst-handlook at theirlatestdiscoveries." "RICK:" "That's what the cypher says..." ""No trap." "There is a door."" "Wow." "MATTY:" "I also got the inside scoop abouttheteam'sexciting plansfornextyear." "Here we go!" "This is it." "This is Drilling Down." "♪ ♪" "MATTY:" "Now, before my triptoMichigan," "I wanted to review the progress theteamhadmadesofar." "SoI wentbacktoOakIsland andmettheteamat theMoneyPit, wheremillionsof dollarshad  justbeenspentlookingfor thesiteof theoriginal treasurevault." "Come on, bring something up!" "It's time!" "Right here, right now!" "Yeah, baby!" "What the hell is that?" "MATTY:" "They've definitely come closertoit thananyoneelse  inmorethan200 years." "MATTY:" "So, here we are at the Money Pit area." "What's your best guess as to the exact spot where Daniel McInnis first was digging in the Money Pit in 1795?" "I mean, I'm-I'm an odds guy." "If you took the outside canisters and drew a circle," "I'd say it was 99% it was in there." "Maybe if you went 10 feet more, 'cause that'd be about a 50 foot circle, maybe." "It's not over there..." "Yeah." "it's not behind me..." "Yeah." "It's right over there." "MATTY:" "It's in this area somewhere." "Yes." "MATTY:" "According to local history, itwasteenagerDanielMcInnis andtwoof hisfriends whofirstdiscovered themysteriousMoneyPit  in1795." "In1804,alargestone slabwasdiscoveredat adepthof 90 feet." "Whenthestrangemarkingson thestonewere laterdeciphered,theywere translatedtoread," ""FortyFeetBelow, Two Million Pounds Are Buried."" "Thatwasprettymuchas farasanyoneevergot,  becauseas soonasthestonewas liftedfromitsrestingplace, theshaftbeganto fillwithseawater." "In1965,treasurehunter RobertDunfield triedtogettothebottom oftheMoneyPit area by digging an enormous 140-foot deephole." "Itdidn'twork." "Italsoleftthe areastripped of any landmarks or clues as to wheretheoriginalMoney Pitwasactuallylocated." "RICK:" "It's go time!" "Here we go!" "Let's make hole!" "(rumbling)" "MATTY:" "This season, Rick,Marty andtheirpartners launched the most ambitious and technologicallyadvanceddig operationeveron OakIsland." "Theybroughtin over400 tons ofheavyequipmenttodigtwo, 40-inchwide,steel-cased shafts allinan attemptto findtheexactlocation oftheoriginalMoneyPit." "Thefirstsearchhole wasdubbedValley-3." "Itwashere,two yearsago,  thatRickLaginaand Craig Testerdrilledintowhatthey  believedcouldbe a long-losttreasurevault, firstdiscoveredby treasure huntersWilliamChappelland" "FrederickBlairbackin1897 ." "Concrete, and then wood." "That's the description." "MARTY:" "Come on, baby!" "Unfortunately,whenthe teamexcavatedValley-3, theywereshockedtodiscover thatwhattheyhad  foundwasnotthe so-called, ChappellVault, buta searchershaft, constructedinthe1930's byWilliamChappell'sson ." "Man, did we 'bingo' that!" "I mean, c'mon... that's pretty impressive." "That core sample that you pulled out that we were so excited about that we felt might be "the vault"... we know, now, there's an X through it." "Oh, I think so, yeah." "We were hoping to find any kind of original work, but we were looking after the vault." "And we-we found their tunnel, not the vault." "Right?" "I mean, if you're finding searcher tunnels, you know that 50-foot radius that you keep talking about, Marty." "It's like, all right, we're-we're in the game here." "We're close." "Definitely." "If they were looking, you know, they felt they were close." "It's that simple." "I got to bring it up, that piece of glittery gold." "Let's talk about that for a moment." "MATTY:" "Last year, Rick Lagina, andislandhistorian" "CharlesBarkhousefound evidenceofalargevoid , some 171 feet deep underground." "Here we go!" "NARRATOR:" "When the team later inserteda cameraintoC-1 , theywereastonishedatwhat  theysaw." "CHARLES:" "What's that?" "RICK:" "It's your gold color, Dave." "CHARLES:" "Yeah, there it is, David." "MATTY:" "A shiny, gold-colored objectthatappeared tobeembeddedinrock ." "Unfortunately,when world-renowneddiver," "JohnChattertondescended tothebottomofC-1,  hecouldfindnotraceofthe  mysterious gold-colored object." "Does a part of you still believe it's down there and findable?" "There's a lot of clay down there." "Is the clay masking a tunnel?" "I mean, it's hard to say." "Here's the thing, there's salt water at the bottom of this cavity, so it's coming from somewhere." "How is it entering into C-1?" "You know, is it natural?" "Is it man made?" "MARTY:" "He's right." "There could be a tunnel." "One wall was about-- there was clay infill about 2 feet wide, and I forget how high, but big enough to be a plugged tunnel." "If they dug a chamber and then plugged their way back out, maybe that's it, Charles." "Maybe you were on it after all." "The nice thing is, we have an entrance." "Well..." "We-- We're not necessarily done with that." "RICK: "X marks the spot"." "T-1." "Tester One." "Okay!" "MATTY:" "After their frustrating experiences atboththeValley-3 andC-1drillsites," "Rick,Martyandtheirpartners decidedtogo-for-brokewith theexcavationof twomore holes insearchof theMoneyPit." "ThefirstwasT-1 , whichturnedup  someamazingfinds." "CRAIG:" "Oh, there you go!" "CRAIG:" "We just brought up a whole bunch more wood." "RICK:" "What the hell is that?" "CRAIG:" "That is odd." "What if this is part of the Money Pit?" "MATTY:" "And finally, therewasGAL-1, ata sitechosen byRickLagina, andnamedforRickandMarty 's parents,GeorgeandAnn ." "CRAIG:" "Oh, what's this?" "RICK:" "What the hell is that?" "That's-that's metal." "MATTY:" "Rick's research paid off, asGAL-1yieldedthe most incredibleartifactsto date, includingevidencethatthe  teamismostlikelywithin inchesoftheoriginal MoneyPittreasurevault." "Talk about what you did pull of here?" "I mean, a number of items:" "we pulled that sheet metal out, several hammer-grabs full of it... we pulled timbers, a large quantity of timbers, the piece of angled iron..." "Any thoughts of what that could mean?" "Maybe we cut the corner of a searcher shaft and maybe the corner of something ancient." "That would be great." "Do you guys stand in this area and think" ""we want to do more here"?" "I definitely do." "Charles, is it here?" "Yes or no?" "It's here." "I know it's here." "I mean, if all the data 100% said that there's nothing here, then we've accomplished our goal." "But it doesn't say that." "Thank you guys again for this awesome access." "Thank you!" "Anotherof theteam'sbigprojects thisyearwasthe draining andexploration ofthemysterious, triangle-shapedswamp, whichhaslong beenbelievedby researchers andtreasure-hunters tobean importantkey  tosolvingtheOak  Islandmystery." "Oh (bleep)..." "What is it?" "Threeyearsago, thebiggestdiscovery evermadein theswampwas undoubtedlythisone." "MARTY:" "I believe this is a coin!" "CHARLES:" "You serious?" "MATTY: when the team unearthed anancientSpanishcoin, datingfrom1652." "Butasimpressive asthatfindwas , itturnedouttobe onlythetipof theproverbialOakIsland iceberg." "(device beeping)" "Oh yeah..." "Ohhhh!" "Look at that!" "GARY:" "That is old." "It's a handmade spike." "I've found exactly the same objects as this on-- off Spanish galleons from the late 1600s, early 1700s." "Now that's a fantastic find!" "MATTY:" "In addition to the spike, theteamalsodiscovered alongwoodenplank, onethatlookedlike itcouldhavecomefrom  acenturies-oldshipwreck." "MARTY:" "What is that?" "JACK:" "Looks like a piece of wood." "It's...um... a large board." "One of the exciting moments for me in Season 4 was watching" "Tony Sampson pull out that plank, that board." "And at first when I saw it, it looked like wood, and I was like "aw, wood" and then" "I was like "wait a second..." "it's longer and longer"." "From a size perspective, it certainly wasn't a piece of lumber that you go to the hardware store and purchase." "And we did do C-14 testing on it." "One of the probability windows allowed us, again, to speculate that it may be from a Spanish galleon." "Context that with Fred's finds, I mean, he definitely found the mast of a ship." "He definitely found the scuppers of a ship." "You can tie the board to the fact that there are known ship artifacts to have been found in the swamp." "And, it would be very easy for a ship to founder there and then have it hauled in here." "They know they can't- you know, they can't fix it." "Where's the-- where's the best way to hide it?" "Here." "Welcome to the team." "MATTY:" "Long time Oak Islandland-owner andtreasurehunter, FredNolan, hadthetheorythatOak Islandwasactuallyonce twoislandsjoinedtogether." "Heenvisionedascenariowhere atreasureshipwas sailed betweenthetwoislands." "Then, two giant cofferdams were builttocontainthe ship, creatingtheswamp." "Theshipwasthendeliberately submerged in the water that hid boththeshipand  itspreciouscargo." "What were the things you found in the swamp?" "Well, we found parts of a ship." "Rat lines of a ship, you see?" "It's where the ropes went through." "And this shows the scuppers on the side of a ship." "MATTY:" "Sadly, Fred Nolan passedawayearlierthisyear , andnevergottoseethe objectsthatwerepulledfrom  theswampandwhich supportedhistheory." "Nevertheless,hismission tosolve theOakIslandmystery liveson." "Correct me if I'm wrong, you've had two experts, really, look at that spike and say Spanish galleon spike." "That is true." "Gary Drayton who is, you know, a premiere metal detector on the treasure coast in Florida, said quote-unquote" ""I've found hundreds of these and this is what it is."" "And then Dr. Lori also looked at it and, you know, came to the same conclusion." "LORI:" "The spike is a wrought-iron spike." "It was the type that were used called the "barrote" type, similar to a finishing nail on a Spanish galleon ship." "Yes!" "Wow." "So you're 100% sure that this came from a Spanish galleon?" "I'm 100% sure this came from a Spanish galleon." "Definitive proof, Rick." "I mean, she dated it between 1575 and, what, 1620?" "So there's probably more parts to-to a ship out there." "We're just finding the parts now." "And they've been covered up for a couple hundred years." "Well, that is a great segue to my next question, is, standing here now, the end of Season 4, do you guys feel like you want to go back into the swamp?" "Oh, you know, it's a no-brainer for me." "Yeah." "There's something here and-and I want to find it." "Charles?" "Oh, absolutely." "There's something in the swamp." "Jack?" "Oh, we've hardly scratched the surface of the swamp and pretty much every time we do do a dig, we discover something new." "Despite all the crap you got to put up with while digging in the swamp, still we're intrigued." "There's something here, and it's beckoning us to find it." "Thank you so much guys, I appreciate it." "MATTY:" "So here we are in scenic Smith's Cove on your masterwork, the bladder..." "Wow!" "I've filmed a lot of places, but never on a giant waterbed!" "You sure this won't burst, with all of us on it?" "CHARLES:" "No." "JACK:" "Well-- (laughing)" "CRAIG:" "We're pretty sure." "JACK:" "No, we're not positive of that!" "MATTY:" "In 1850, treasure-hunters digginginSmith'sCove uncoveredwhatwasreported tobeevidence offiveman-made stoneboxdrains." "Theywerebelievedtobepart ofa system ofelaboratebooby-traps thatwouldfeedoceanwater intoa numberof floodtunnels leadingtotheMoneyPit." "Althoughmostof thedrains havebeendestroyed over the years, the Laginas are convincedthatafew  ofthedrainsare still inoperation, andthatif they canfindthem, theycanshutoff the water, onceandforall ." "Thisyear,Rick,Marty, andtheteamput up what'sknownas acofferdam aroundSmith'sCove." "This was done so that the water ontheinsideofthedam couldbepumpedout , andtheareacould finallybeduginsearch ofthemysteriousbox drains." "Oncetheywereabletodrain  thecoveanddig , theymadewhatcould bea majordiscovery:" "potentialevidenceof the elusiveboxdrainsystem." "Is that a layer of clay and then it goes to rocks?" "But this could be some of the original rocks that covered the flood tunnel system, and that's why it's still leaching up, you know, all the water." "MARTY:" "What've you got here?" "It's definitely what we'd call "cultural."" "I mean, you're saying, with, based on your expertise, with certainly, this is placed here?" "It's a man made something." "I believe so, yeah." "Wow." "So do you think maybe you found part of the box drains, then?" "I'm 90 plus percent sure that this is the flood system." "Clay is all over on Oak Island, especially on this end of the island." "Clay is not good for water to run through." "It-it holds it back." "So, you know, that type of system you can't flood, you know, the Money Pit with that." "And so they dig up the clay, replaced it with rocks, and then water can rush through those rocks." "It looked like a French Drain." "MATTY:" "So-called "French Drains" aretrenchesfilledwithrocks thatareusedtoredirect water." "Inareaswheresoilis watertight, theimpenetrablegroundis dugout andreplacedwithrocks orgravel, sothatwatercan floweasily and be diverted and controlled." "Findingevidence ofa Frenchdrain atSmith'sCovevalidates thetheorythatsomeone cametothisisland hundredsofyearsago , and undertook elaborate methods tokeepsomethingburiedhere  frombeingdiscovered." "So you believe you found the system, perhaps not as historically described," "but found it?" "Yes." "It wasn't exactly what history had said from what we could see." "And, sure to me was man made." "Jack?" "I think we were successful in the fact that we did find works from, you know, whoever deposited something on Oak Island or did work prior to the searchers." "Charles, do you still believe there's more to uncover here?" "We have photos from 1963 that shows the Restall's discovering some type of wall structure, right where that cavity, where that dugout is, right there." "So it has to be a prior searcher or possibly even the depositors, who put whatever treasure here is on Oak Island." "If it was searcher, then it's possible that was some type of attempt to cut off a flood tunnel or something." "So, you know, I-I think that could be further investigated and who knows what we could find from that." "Well, whether you continue here or not, this was "mission accomplished."" "This is another testament on Oak Island to hard work and togetherness." "Great work, guys." "Thank you." "Now, uh... can you-- can you help me off this thing?" "Yeah!" "Absolutely." "It's a little wobbly, I'm gonna wait for you guys to go first." "Yeah, just don't walk on the seams." "Don't step on the seams?" "Don't step on the seams." "Don't stand too close together or walk too close together." "All right." "I'll let you go then." "MATTY:" "At the beginning ofthisseason," "DanBlankenshippresented theteam witha numberof man-made objects hefoundafter drillingborehole10-X backin1971." "What's all this about?" "This came out of 10-X." "That came out of 10-X." "That came out of 10-X, and that came out of 10-X." "What more do you want, Marty?" "Chain, wire, and that low-carbon steel." "It all tested out as being made prior to 1750." "All of that came from the bottom of the damn hole!" "MARTY:" "All of those things?" "All of it came from the bottom of the hole." "Bring it, baby!" "Right, David?" "That's right!" "MATTY:" "In an effort to prove thatthis235foot-deep boreholecouldstillplayan importantrole insolvingtheOak Island mystery, theteamsetupa powerful airliftsystem." "Itwasdesignedtopump  massiveamounts ofcompressedairdown theshaft inaneffort toforceanyartifacts orpossiblebitsoftreasure tothesurface." "Let's talk about the airlift this season." "If you want it real layman's terms, we stuck a giant vacuum cleaner down there." "You introduce a large quantity or volume of air, and it blows the material and sucks it to surface and then it goes into a big dumpster." "When we were standing there, we had-- there was a 13-inch discharge tube, and you could hear the materials rattling as they went up into the tube and into the dumpster." "And did the airlift reveal anything interesting?" "Well, with Jack going through all the spoils, yes, he's got an awful lot of-- he's got a couple of pieces of wood, that are not supposed to be down 235 feet." "Pieces of wood..." "Would these have been anything that you dropped into the hole?" "Hell no, because it's-it's deteriorated so much." "That's older than I am." "'Cause I wondered if this is possibly original." "That's old." "And a bunch of metal and stuff that we are still waiting to be tested." "So as we sit here, that is being tested." "That is being tested now." "How else can we attack 10-X, and search it, to get more answers?" "Dry it up, and get down there and see what is there." "If it's in the dry, then you can move stuff around and see what is there." "It's very dangerous." "Well..." "Very dangerous." "I'm willing to take the chance." "Dangerous because of potential collapse?" "When you do that, you're releasing the natural pressure that is holding everything in position now." "DAVE:" "Right." "It's calculated risk." "Yeah." "Dan, at the beginning of the season, you presented to the team at the war room with some objects you pulled out of 10-X." "It's probably the biggest thing that's been found here and it's right out of 10-X." "So you feel that metal is very important." "Well, of course I felt it was important." "Mother nature does not make chain." "Nor three other different kinds of metal either." "She has-- she has to prove that to me." "(laughter)" "Bottom line, Rick, why do you think 10-X is still worth exploring?" "One word: ambiguity." "We don't know for sure what's there." "Dave?" "I agree with Rick." "We've got to get the answers out of it." "And I want to finish it." "Amen." "No X on 10-X." "No X on 10-X." "No X." "Good!" "Dan, did you ever think that some 50 years later we would still have questions about this spot?" "No!" "I didn't even think 50 years later I'd be livin'!" "(laughter)" "MATTY:" "As Rick, Marty and the teamspentmuchofthis year  focusedontheiractivities attheMoneyPit , theyalsobroughtin experiencedtreasure-hunter andmetaldetectionexpert, GaryDrayton." "(device beeping)" "GARY:" "Yeah, there's a big hit." "MATTY:" "He was asked to scour theareason theislandthat , basedonresearch, mightofferimportantclues." "Oneofthoseareas?" "Lot24."

"MATTY:" "One of the most intriguingitemsfound that day was what looked to be a metal tag, inscribed with the name "Ball."" "Wow!" "Butevenmoresignificant wasthediscoveryofseveral coinsandotherartifacts,all suggestingthattherecould havebeenaBritishmilitary presenceonOakIsland backinthe18thcentury." "MARTY:" "This is quite a haul." "Wow, Gary!" "1700s, that changes a lot." "Here we are all the way on the west side of the island, right against the water, on Lot 24." "You had a metal detector ninja here:" "Gary Drayton." "Yes, we did." "Gary Drayton is the real thing, okay?" "I mean, he is a metal detector." "That's what he does." "And he was so excited about this." "Charles, tell me what he found." "He found this piece, which is quite interesting because it has Samuel Ball's name on it." "This is the Ball tag..." "Yes, originally when Gary found that, he describes it as musket furniture." "Basically it's decorative pieces on, uh, on you know, muskets or handguns." "MATTY:" "Oh, now I see Ball." "Yes." "B-A-L-L." "That is stunning." "CHARLES:" "To find something with his name on it, that's really significant." "And there's a number of British coins that-that he found, and buttons." "In fact, a large amount of objects..." "Wow!" "That is a lot of stuff!" "These objects were all found in a-- in a high concentration in a very small area, right over here." "So, kind of led him to believe, based on his experience, that we're probably looking at, uh... you know, an encampment of some sort, and a military encampment at that." "In fact, this one you can actually see on the-- on the face, you can see the design, you can see" "MATTY:" "Oh, that's a head!" "CHARLES:" "Yeah!" "Exactly." "MATTY:" "So, we have British military here" "long before the Money Pit." "Yes." "What theory might that point to?" "Mr. Nolan had a theory that this was a military enterprise, and, uh, he related it to the sacking of Havana." "MATTY:" "In 1762, the British Navy captured Havana harbor in Cuba, whichwasthenaSpanish colony." "TheBritishconfiscateddozens ofSpanishships andanuntoldamount oftreasure, whichwasoriginally plunderedbySpain, from Central and South America." "Accordingtoresearchdone byOakIslandtreasurehunter, FredNolan, thebulkof theSpanishgold  madeitbacktoEngland-- butnotbeforeagroup ofmilitaryofficers secretlydivertedahefty percentageoftheriches" "andhidthemaway onOakIsland." "RICK:" "Fred told me he had come to an understanding that there's a labyrinth of tunnels, a massive engineering work here on the island and in order to accomplish that, you need engineers." "And who better to do that than a British military operation?" "CRAIG:" "We have the plated back ofthebutton thatcameoutoftheMoney Pit" "and that appears to be British," "Yeah, British." "Yeah, about the same time period." "Same time period." "So, and that was, you know, what's it doing in the Money Pit?" "There's a definite British military connection." "Yes." "No question about it." "Just how much of the island, percentage-wise, do you think Gary Drayton has gone over?" "Oh jeez..." "maybe ten percent or less." "A-And he turned this up so there could be lots of spots like this." "Plans are to do more here, I would assume." "Yes." "He's convinced this is the tip of the iceberg." "So, sounds like you got some more work to do, Marty." "We have some more work to do." "The team." "RICK:" "Who knows what'syetto be discovered." "MATTY:" "Comingup... just traveled some 250 miles northwest of Detroit, RICK:" "Who knows what'syetto be discovered." "heretoTraverseCity, Michigan, to meet with Rick, Marty and other members of the Oak Island team." "I want to get their take on the incredible findings they made this year." "I also want to know what they plan to do next." "MATTY:" "When Rick and Marty aren'tonOakIsland, diggingfortreasure, they'rebackhere inNorthernMichigan, wherethequesttosolvethe OakIslandmysteryneverends ."

"(laughs)" "MATTY:" "And here he is." "What's up, guys?" "MARTY:" "Matty Blake!" "How the heck are ya'?" "Good to see you!" "Hey, Rick, how are you, brother?" "Thanks for having me back." "You're welcome." "Welcome to Northern Michigan." "Sorry about the snow, but..." "Oh, no, it's fine, it's beautiful out there..." "Yeah, -...and it's beautiful in here." "Yeah, welcome to the winery." "So, Marty, why a winery?" "Well, that's a good question," "Matty, but, um, it goes back to our Italian heritage and this place is named after, uh, my grandmother." "Mari vineyards..." "Mari, yeah, that was her maiden name." "But when we were kids, we used to go visit my grandmother's house," "Rick and I, and my grandfather-- who I never knew-- had chiseled this cave out of solid granite, so some of this ties back, you know, t-to Oak Island and digging and caves and all that stuff." "It was a magical place and this is kind of in honor of her and the family and the tradition." "And I would like to, before we get into some of the plans" "that you" " I know you are eager to discuss..." "I do!" "I am." "What I really want to show you is probably the coolest part and I got-- it's kind of a surprise." "It's kind of cool." "MATTY:" "Incredible!" "It's like a-a movie set." "Yeah, I want you to stand right there." "Okay..." "I'm an acorn." "You can't kill me, you know that." "No, I can't kill you, no." "What is going on?" "But there's some interesting things here and it begins with... this." "This is what we affectionately call the Oculus." "You two are the two coolest people I've ever met in my life." "(both laugh)" "Come on." "MARTY:" "W-What is it you're looking at, Matty?" "I'm trying not to stand on a Templar Cross, Marty." "You know, I'm not gonna say all the reasons that that's there." "I just thought it was a nice symbol, you know." "It's a-- it's a symbol, it seems to me, of good things, really." "To me, you know, the Templars are a real mystery," "just like Oak Island." "Yeah." "MATTY:" "For decades, researchershavebeenstruck bymountingevidence thatmembersof theancient orderofcrusaders, knownasKnightsTemplar, mayhave animportantconnection totheOakIslandmystery." "Thisseason, Rickandmembersoftheteam traveled20miles northoftheisland, tothetownofNewRoss andexaminedwhatsomebelieve tobetheruins ofa 12thcentury Templarcastle." "Alsoontheproperty isanancientstonewell  wherediver,TonySampson, founda mysteriouscarving ofa triangle."

"It'sa shapethathas been foundinnumerousplaces onOakIsland, includingthe90 FootStone, thestonetriangle onthesouthshore, and,ofcourse,the swamp." "So, Matty, speaking of this Templar Cross, some of the other members of the team are here today and I know you're keenly interested in hearing what our future plans might be, so, I could talk about the winery forever," "but let's go talk about Oak Island." "MATTY:" "All right, great." "It'sgreatto seethe some other members of the team here." "Thanks for meeting with me, guys." "I got to say, the view here is a little bit better than the war room." "War Room West." "That's what this one is." "Yeah." "Love it." "MATTY:" "It'sbeenafew weeks sinceI metwiththe team backontheisland, soI can'twaittofind out whatthey'vediscoveredsince." "Let's look at Season 4." "You've had some time away now." "Uh, let's get right down to test results." "I'm really anxious to hear and I know our fans are, too." "Let's talk results on the wood that you guys pulled out of 10-X after the airlift." "You know, it was much more decayed and darker looking than some of it, so we're pretty excited about it." "We had it carbon tested and, uh, the early date on this is from 1670s to 1780, so that's prior to the Money Pit being discovered." "Marty, as you look at those, uh, what does it potentially say about 10-X?" "You can jump on the earlier dates and say, "Wow!" "That's-- that's really significant."" "RICK:" "You know, I-I want to get down there." "But there is a new technology which has surfaced." "It's called "Dark Vision" technology." "I would be willing to put that camera system down there." "Good, but you know what?" "Can I be..." "Yeah, the question is:" "would you accept the results?" "MARTY:" "Yeah, thank you." "It would be foolish to say only if I see something!" "(all laugh)" "Right, right." "MATTY:" "Thegroundbreakingtechnology thatRickis referringto usesinfraredlight topenetratemurky, zero-visibilityconditions." "Itwasdeveloped byDarkwaterVision, ahigh-techunderwater visualizationcompany basedinClearwater,Florida." "Is there any other data that we haven't covered?" "RICK:" "We do have the sheet metal that was found in GAL-1." "That's currently being tested." "I was hopeful that it would be-- the results would be here for this meeting" "MARTY:" "But it's not." "But it's not." "But that is forthcoming." "MARTY:" "What the hell is that?" "CRAIG:" "Look at that." "MARTY:" "Some more metal." "CRAIG:" "Corner plate, it looks like." "Oh, wow, that's got a lot of holes in it." "Yeah." "When that metal came out of the hole," "I was excited as hell." "Sure, yeah." "I was excited!" "I said, "This-- here we go!" "Here we go!" "This is it!"" "It's not wood!" "Nobody-- not wood." "Nobody's described metal before." "LORI:" "It's a piece that is fascinating." "It's used to attach the sides of treasure chests." "So when that metal came out of the hole, hanging from the hammer grab, I was very excited." "This has all been great." "Thank you, guys, for helping me, uh, understand these results a little bit more, but I am dying to get..." "I see." "I see where you're going." "...to what's in there, so..." "Some interesting things." "Awesome." "Potentially very interesting things." "MATTY:" "So,we'vetalkedabout some of the findings and tests results." "Yes." "Now I'd like to talk about theories and things that might have come up this season that intrigued you guys." "Well, for me, you know, when Zena Halpern's research surfaced, you know, regarding what's been called the Templar Document or the Cromona Document..." "ZENA:" "These maps are part of the Templar Document." "The Nova Scotia map shows a gold area." "The gold matches the area that the Templars marked off on the map." "You know, we were all very enthusiastic about the map, thereferenceto thehatch." "MATTY:" "Yes." "Thatcomesabout singularly because of the find of the map, right?" "Right." "MATTY:" "Usinga map whichsomebelieve datesasfarbackas1347..." "MARTY:" "Look at the top of that." "Yeah." "It follows it perfectly." "...JackBegleywasableto pinpointa location thattheteam hadneverheardofbefore." "Aso-called"hatch,"" "locatedonthewesternside  oftheisland." "This "hatch" lands kind of where David said..." "DAVE:" "The hole is." "Yeah..." "Well, aside from Zena's research..." "Yeah." "...this has surfaced." "Here is something which is derived on the points of Nolan's cross, using sacred geometry." "In the math, there's a cypher and that's what the cypher says." "Read it for yourself." ""No trap." "There is a door."" "Do we know where that is on a map?" "It closely references the hatch." "No!" "So you have two separate, but seemingly corroborating sources about this hatch- this mysterious new hatch that we..." "Mm-hmm." "Wow." "RICK:" "Well, one is a theory and one is an actual map, you know, with the-the-- the hatch, the valve..." "Because of Zena's map, yeah." "Exactly." "This new research puts "X" on the spot of a hatch, a doorway, on the western drumlin." "If you say, "Look, I find this credible and we can go dig..." "with-- with an excavator."" "Mm-hmm." "You know, yeah, we'll dig." "Of course we'll dig!" "It provides you an "X" where you have to dig." "You can just dig where the "X" is." "Exactly." "Mm-hmm." "MARTY:" "What else?" "The other thing is, there are... someone has come forward with a new interpretation, albeit, you know, this is right down Alex's search that you-you've conducted," "and that is referencing the 90 Foot Stone." "Mm-hmm." "MATTY:" "Earlierthisseason..." "AlexLagina andCharlesBarkhouse, alongwithresearchers DougCrowellandKel Hancock, traveled to the city of Halifax insearchof theso-called, 90FootStone." "Themysteriousslabcovered withstrangesymbols andfirstdiscovered intheMoneyPit in1804 ." "So this is most likely the window that the 90 Foot Stone would have been placed on display." "Oh, that's pretty cool to think" "that it could've been right there." "Yeah." "DOUG:" "Alex?" "Yeah?" "Come take a look at this." "All right." "Where you at?" "Over this way." "Over this way?" "All right, what you got here?" "CHARLES:" "It's a big stone." "ALEX:" "Oh, look at that." "CHARLES:" "Is it slate?" "ALEX:" "I think it's limestone." "It's also bigger than what we're looking for in terms of dimensions." "Mm-hmm." "Yeah." "I've been told that there was a stone in the floor of the Halifax Club." "ALEX:" "Here it is right here. 1862." "Wow, it looks like they're doing some renovation." "MARBLE:" "They sure are." "Yes." "ALEX:" "For now, we didn't find what we were looking for, but I think we made some progress." "There's someone who has come forward with a-a singularly unique interpretation of that and possible, uh, knowledge of it." "It's something that you should follow up on." "MATTY:" "When you say "possible knowledge of it,"" "do you mean the code or the stone itself?" "Both." "Possibly." "Possibly." "Go get that stone." "Soon as I can!" "Here's what I think we've got:" "obviously, there are several intriguing theories that could point to where we continue this search." "So, we're-- we're waiting on that to-- you know, to coalesce." "Rick has a lot of ideas about what's left to do and we'll talk about that here in a minute." "I can't wait to see where this developing information goes and until that time," "I'll just hold onto all of this. -(all laugh)" "I don't think so!" "I tried." "I tried." "I don't think so." "You did try." "MATTY:" "Gentlemen,herewe areagain." "Before we delve into the future," "I want to show you something." "Okay." "Uh-oh." "(Matty chuckles)" "Last time I was on Oak Island with you guys," "I hit the streets and I talked to people about what they thought about you guys and what you're doing." "Oh, boy." "I want you to watch." "Here we go..." "Do you think there is treasure on Oak Island?" "There's definitely treasure at Oak Island." "Yeah, I think it's down there somewhere." "They're just not in the right area yet." "There's something." "How valuable is the treasure?" "I have no idea." "Probably the best treasure about Oak Island is the mystery itself." "Have you ever thought of what might be buried under there?" "Pirates' gold?" "It's got to be something good." "They put a lot of effort into that. -(Matty laughs)" "Whoever it was." "Gold money?" "Money?" "Do you have any theories on who you think might have buried it?" "Privateers that used to do our eastern seaboard a lot." "The British military did a lot in this area." "Well, they say the Vikings." "I think back to the Egyptians." "How long have you been aware of the story?" "Since you were a little child?" "Oh yeah, we grew up with this, I would say." "So it's a part of the fabric of who we are." "Now, are you guys confident that Rick, Marty and this team can be the ones to solve this 220-year mystery?" "They're using the technology of the time." "I think they have enough heart and soul and they really are vested and... they want to find it, so I think they're gonna find it." "What do you think of Rick, Marty and the team?" "They're interested in what they are doing." "They believe in it." "I like how they work together and they both, like, encourage each other and believe in each other and they don't give up." "I think they're kind of sexy, actually." "Wow!" "Ooh!" "(laughter)" "I like that last one!" "What do you guys think when you watch that?" "It's nice to see, you know, people from the area, see what they think." "RICK:" "They all want answers." "And to that extent, you know, it's impossible to quit." "MARTY:" "We can't let 'em all down." "Yeah." "It's exciting to me." "I'd like to concentrate a little bit on the successes of Season 4 and think about how those successes might inform how we move forward." "I know Rick has an entire list of things yet to do." "MATTY:" "Well, that's why we're here!" "All right, you read." "MARTY:" "All right." "He's got number one here:" ""the expansion of the Lot 24 search."" "Lot 24, where we found the coins and everything." "Yeah." "A potential encampment." "It's the only place where we really found a concentration of coins on the island." "I mean, of all the things we've found, I mean, coins put a date, they put a time stamp on it." "So, you have to continue that." "You have to." "No matter what it takes." "Got to go back there." "And then, looking for the log wall that might form the border of the swamp and determine whether it's man-made or not." "RICK:" "In a private conversation, Fred revealed that there was a second log wall and Fred was so descriptive and so forceful in his-- in relaying that information, that I can't believe it's not there." "That's great." "The next item on Rick's list is that" "Rick's working on this research" "as we talked about before..." "Yes." "...that might indicate where the so-called "hatch,"" "now apparently called "door," might be located." "Might be we were chasing the wrong spot last year." "So, you know, if we do have an "X" on the map that says there's a-- there's a door to the subterranean works here, I'm gonna go look at it." "I'm gonna go try." "So, that's..." "When you have corroborative evidence relating to "X marks the spot" on Oak Island, you'd better take your shot." "MARTY:" "Okay!" "So, the next one is, uh, geotech grid in the Money Pit." "Drill a bunch of holes and actually grid it out." "Right." "I think we go at a larger-- a larger spacing, way out." "And then, we narrow it in and as we go, we start drawing a map." "And then, once we get into an area where we know there are no searcher tunnels, then maybe we tighten up the grid." "That's the way I would do it." "MARTY:" "I mean, there's nothing I would rather do than to do the "big dig."" "Just dig that sucker up." "Mm-hmm." "That being said, you've previously said that your mother once told you:" "to solve a puzzle, you start at the four corners and you move inward." "Correct?" "Correct." "Absolutely." "How many corners, so far, have you solved on Oak Island?" "That's a tough one." "The fact that we've dedicated ourselves to finding answers, that's a good cornerstone, if you will." "You know, the other thing that Mom always told us:" "don't give up." "Sempreavanti,alwaysforward." "That's a corner piece in my book." "Three." "And that's all I'm gonna say." "Let me guess: swamp, 10-X." "No, that's all I'm gonna say." "Three." "Guys, I can't thank you enough." "Thank you, my brother." "Thank you, Matty." "It means the world." "Onward and upward." "Onward and upward." "You got it." "Sempreavanti,as he says." "MATTY:" "Wow!" "Anotherincredibleseason onOakIsland hascometo an end." "Andit'sgreattoknow  thatRickandMarty areplanningan even biggersearchoperation whentheyreturnnextseason."
