It's turned into an archaeological dig...which is a very exacting, time consuming process, no doubt subject to procedural rules. The 'treasure ' here is the historical data, whether they find gold and jewels or not.

The swamp was a bay before the erosion from the years of farming and then treasure digging turned it into a swamp. The road was likely built in the 1720s as a log drag where logs floated from the mainland and other islands were drug by oxen up to the tar kilns. The logs were loaded into the tar kilns and destructive distillation was used to make tar, turpentine and other naval stores for the Royal Navy and British merchant marine. The material was strained by running it through coconut fibers. Before petroleum, this was how we obtained these materials. Since they were cutting virgin forests with trees growing before Columbus, the Carbon14 is going to be early.

Excellent observations!

What would be interesting to see is a complete diorama with timelines of the entire island.

It was common to lay timbers under roads to cross swampy areas, so the road wouldn't sink.

This is my favourite show. It's awesome and fun. But a timeline of all the things as a drilling down episode would be wonderful.

There is an enormous amount of engineering and manpower expended on Oak Island. Hoping they succeed so we can all see what the rest of the story is.

This is the actua best episode of History channel silliness

Hi Rick and Marty...Shamefully I just subscribed, but I have been watching the show since day ONE and have never given up hope that you guys will solve the mystery. The truth about the history of what happened there is equally as valuable as the potential treasure. this show has greatly encouraged me to keep going on a large personal project that I have been working on now for almost 4 years. Even though I do not believe there is any connection between the two stories it is scary sometimes when I see the same dates and some of the same names come up in my reaserch. I will continue to be a "Loyal Acorn" and support you to the completion of your goals. Good Luck Laura

This is incredible we need longer episodes there’s sooo much to investigate from the swamp to the shaft something is going to unravel along the way. We are looking at history no one knew existed except those who were involved and that alone is awesome. They need to uncover this whole thing so we can all know what really happened there

I understand that a lot of this CoOI Reality TV show is scripted/edited and certain scenes are set up for filming. It's kind of like the Oak Island version of professional wrestling's "Kayfabe".

They've discovered way too much to just pass off ss early travelers making a short stay..

I'm 70. I have watched a lot of TV in that time on this earth. I even had to get up to change channels on the TV at one time. In all that time of watching television have I ever been so railroaded by a TV channel as I had by the History channel (along with The Curse of Oak Island). What a sham all along. I was and still am very disappointed.

I feel bad for all the cash dumped into this "money pit." Not one piece if GOLD has been found, nothing that truly says that's an undisputed evidence of a buried treasure there. Other than some 1600s abnormalities, from inhabitants or some type of business.

So you don't consider gold and silver content in the water as proof there's something...or the metal detector at the bottom of the shaft the finished rebuilding beeping and saying non feris as in non magnetic...gold and silver are non magnetic. No they don't have gold and silver coins yet but that have found residues of gold in the water from bore holes near the money pit plus they've hit voids 90-100 feet deep that are at least 7 feet tall they believe is a tunnel running beside the shaft. They have plenty of evidence to suggest there is some sort of gold or silver deposit down there somewhere it's traces are in the water.

Great work guys @rick and marty, dont give up hope.

Having worked with 3-point rigging I can tell you what the chain tells me. The "stretched" link I have seen before in Chinese weak steel. Pulls apart like putty. I see the scenario where this was holding a weight and suspended from a gantry crane. When the link parted, the released tension would have shot the rigging into the air. Very dangerous situation in Construction. I couldn't see anyone leaving a man-made chain behind. Too valuable. This chain was shot into the air like a rubber band, lost, and landed there to be found. My 2 cents.

The handle was likely belonging to a "handcart" sans wheels used to haul the barrels back and forth.

The chain "ISN'T" that old..............Carmen is "OFF" his "RoCkEr"!

@johnwoa

Not necessarily long gone. Remember that the Money Pit along with the alleged Chappell Vault collapsed into the cavern(s)/void over 150 years ago and any contents would be underwater. Personally, I believe "they" are deliberately avoiding excavating and retrieving "whatever it is" because that might solve the Oak Island mystery and end this top-rated lucrative show.

Oak Island is a unique land anomaly here on Earth whereas whatever was buried in the Money Pit, formerly a deep open sinkhole that somehow connected to the cavern(s), was placed there over one thousand years ago when the sea level surrounding Oak Island was somewhat lower. Today with the slowly-rising sea level surrounding Oak island everything including the caverns, voids and the cave/niche entrances at the shoreline are all underwater and inaccessible. "Whatever it is" is not "treasure" per se. It is religious in significance and most probably a tomb. It was never meant to be recovered.

The archeologists once rejected are critical for provenance on the discoveries and value at auction. The lead cross provenance to the Knights Templer could go for $50 million at auction.

"Wood" you believe it?

If they get all the way down and find a message that says gotcha and my initials you know I found a time machine some point on the future because I would use it for a joke.

"This looks old" duh! lol 😂

When one wants to hide the loot, they would put in place which is secure, but at the same time its easy for them to recover. Based on all the evidences found, I might say that Oak island was a swampy place, a convoy of ships came there for some repairs, but in order for the place to be convenient, for repairs, they had to cut trees to build a pier & other basic infra to move the cargo from the ship thus making repairs possible & easy. So the people in convoy built the infra, stacked the cargo for which they build that basic road on swamp, they cut the wood around thats needed for the repairs, they might have built a forge to make basic spikes to fix the repair planks. The ships were repaired, the cargo put on it again, some of it fell during movement, and the convoy moved off. the forged chains are for lifting the load from ship to the cart to move to shore, also to lift the heavy logs that would be required for repairs. IF you assume that people spend few months to build money pit, where they might need a month to recover the "stash" its stupid. Its desolate island, but importantly the "crew" did not control it, so what is the point to put their stash on some place that they cannot control?

This Reality TV show is not about getting answers or completely solving the Oak Island mystery. To do this would end the show..... If they really wanted to get answers, particularly with the swamp and the mysterious stone road, they need to get Archaeologist Laird Niven and his team together with the Geoscientists and Geophysicists from the Geological Survey of Canada to join forces to examine and determine the purpose of all of that massive construction in the swamp. Additionally, the provincial government should allow these professionals to examine the adjacent islands (with the owners permission) if only to gain an archaeological perspective as it might relate to Oak Island and get some answers as to the Oak Island mystery. We can only hope.......

Look at all the jealousy and haters. Lmfao😂

How do they get money out of finding wood underground... 11 seasons and the most find was chains and some coins they found on the surface.

The chain or part of it dates from *1900's, not the 1600's. I have chains from the 1870's that are more OVAL in links OOOOO. I see on this chain or *part of it, being vertically straight with the half circle ends. So it could be two chains linked together, one part of it older 1800's and the other 1900's. Carmen doesn't know the age of chains that well???

So a 100 years ago someone was able to dig a hole and underground chambers to hide their gold. And in the current time its taken years to find nothing but possible might be clues. Lol

If you hid such a treasure, wouldn’t you leave it unguarded? The answer is, NO.
