Just finished this week's episode (S06E09). Better than so many previous ones, because they're finally digging instead of probing. The star map angle had me rolling my eyes, though. We went to an island off Nova Scotia and there were boulders! Good grief.

Just finished my recording thank you all again for not posting to early for me. However....

The star map angle had me rolling my eyes, though.

If you rewatch, you will see the Captain of the boat broke a small tree as he went into the interior of the island, I think he suspected something might be discovered on the interior of frog island or just banked the idea something might be discovered. It happened after they moved from the location of the Star Map Rocks, into the interior of Frog Island, which of course any finds found by Metal Detector can't be dug for hits found, maybe rats among them unaware? Do they "them rats" plan to search for artifacts without proper approval, did anyone behind the camera's catch it happening to protect future possibility of clues?

I hope so, what do you think?

Then your wife found a real treasure.

 

The celestial connection is the reason they will use to "explore" and dig the nearby islands. Canada has a cultural interest in getting all the information they can while the brothers foot the tab.

Personally, I've never heard so many theories concerning Oak Island. I think the discovery of the U-shaped structure and the hypothesis it too was a coffer dam, adds more to the mystery. It does play well into the theory of the French drain traps. The two bones from two different regions could be the clue as to who built the French drains. Indigenous workers would be selected to dig the final section so when they broke to water, their loss was insignificant to whoever designed and buried something.

I did find it interesting the German scientist tied the cross to the Templar regions in France. History is truly his story. Like the tides, the ebb and flow of this information will be a valued addition to the North American history.

I think they said after the 90ft stone it flooded the Pit. If the Coffer Dam worked I think you would dig all the way down then back fill with clay once sealed release the coffer dam water to the french drains thus setting the trap, no one needs to drown.

Yes this is truly remarkable to me about the potential history in that region, scientist may never agree with any of it maybe they might lose profit from books written about particular points of view as well as their ego's. Working around Professors all day has made me understand how inflated they can be.

This week's episode felt good. This is about where the show should have started, not season 6, episode 10. They're finding stuff faster than it can be dated and put into context, and that's great. Really good stuff.

 

I liked it as well - they did a lot of work and systematically - it was actually exciting. No mention of the gold coin now for two weeks. Next week, more drilling - from the preview.

 

Liked.

Watched it tonight, finds in the Cove, never known rock near the drilling site, with new data for drills lofting forward or backward with positioning equipment to detect location for possible new large caisson drilling.

Game on....

Yes, seen that. What I saw was a wrist band, what did you see?

I still watch but lost real interest a few years back. Should rename, it something like, "Real Housewives of Oak Island".

You just don't know how to keep the interest.

 

That would have been good about 10 years ago, don't drink now.

Nobody can drink at that level. Not for long, anyway. I have to admit I usually pour a cold one and then start the show.

 

I seen a second commercial revealing a piece of metal, not a wrist band.

Darn, I wondered into some other theory. Dang.

Nah, not really. I predict that in the end it will have been the Ancient Aliens that dug the tunnels.

The dude with the Metal Detector now say's it's a lead bracelet?

Then more wood, and 30 feet of mud? Rune script on a flat rock? Not impressed this week.

Yeah, I agree. All in all, not much went on but some problems and the flat rock tangent and difficulties with understanding the new structure. Looks like next week they will do more drilling around money pit / cross tunnel/H8 stuff....oh and some Roman Empire Concrete .

Seen that commercial watching Project Bluebook, Roman Concrete? this just keeps getting more and more interesting.

I went the other way. Just because the Romans had concrete says nothing about the hunk of it that may have been found in Nova Scotia. The ability to make decent concrete was lost throughout the middle ages and Renaissance and not rediscovered until about 1800. So unless the Templars had some secret technology for making concrete that no one has known of previously, any concrete in Nova Scotia was most likely put there by searchers. Still interesting, but hardly like finding "Roman concrete".

 

So, what year did that dude build his boat ramp which he used a previous unknown structure to build it on? Was it in the 1800's?

Edit: 1936 Gilbert Hedden built the Wharf.

 

Here's a random thing I've noticed that distracts me every time. Read on at your peril.

Every time they have the two brothers in the "interview" shot, they're always wearing the same red and green shirts. It makes me think of the great Red Green show but also reminds me that these "interviews" were probably all shot in one long session after the video was edited into shows. By then they would know what things to ask and where some commentary might fit well. Nothing wrong with that, but it sort of takes me out of the moment.

Another thing: Once the coffer dam was completed and the water level lowered, wouldn't you run over to one of the bore holes and look in to see what happened to the water level inside? It seems like such an obvious and easily answered question that it bothers me when they don't do it. Even if it only dropped a few feet, I think that would be interesting. I'd probably pump some more water out and see if it comes back or not.
