I don't know how much of this is spoon fed for the show sake or they are running haphazardly around the island looking for this or that.

 

I wanted to say thank you, for those who realize I record and watch tonight. I did want to say for those who have been watching that a commercial revealing the Smiths Cove un-seen is in the Season opener of "Project Blue Book" I like this stuff and in a weird way I picked it up.

Not much more to say about this episode other than what the heck is that coin thingy, gold?

FWIW, The Straight Dope (pre-google info site) has an early article on Oak Island. It was the first I'd heard of it.

Straight Dope? From what the Brothers have found is the Island has a water channel inside the Island, a pressure unknown? An internal pressure of water is continually feeding to the outside land mass.

I don't think those who buried things realized the geological happenstance or something may have changed to the geological land mass creating this complete obliteration of water with clues left behind. So, block the water is the first then understand how it fits together.

The only treasure is who, what, where, is the Treasure. More money will be spent, with the mystery in the continuing effort.

The water wins, we have complete immersion in areas that will not allow for complete removal of land mass or discovery.

If they discover the intrusion of water from the sea, they may not stop the water infiltrating from inside the land mass, which is a much more complex issue.

If that is true, how did the original channels/tunnels get dug???

First time I heard of Oak Island, the island not the show, was in the 1970's, a story in Readers Digest. It was a mystery even then.

I first read about it in this book:
https://www.amazon.com/worlds-strangest-mysteries-Rupert-Furneaux/dp/B0007E89F2

Copyright 1961. I was too young then and probably didn't read it until 1967 or so. It really stuck in my mind because it didn't involve the supernatural or space aliens, and felt more "real".

Years later in the late '80s when the internet came along, "Oak Island" was one of the first things I searched for. I was very curious if the story I had read as a kid was indeed real, and surely, I thought, the mystery would have been solved by then. I found nothing and was disappointed that the whole thing may have been fiction.

Imagine my surprise when the show came along! I'm totally hooked and can't look away.

What changes to the island occurred in the last 1000 years, a rise in sea level? All the holes drilled notwithstanding shafts from searchers, who knows?

Yep, the sea level rose and is still rising.

 

The two bones that were found, could be those who dug the last of the tunnel trap .... the water washed them back into the pit.

They didn't give enough close up shots to even guess at whether it was a coin, medal, button or ? As well as what metal. See here at ~29.04

All that crusty stuff will come off and may or may not leave a lot of features. I used to use electrolysis on ancient coins (mostly late Roman Empire) and was sometimes amazed at what a blank petrified stone would sometimes turn in to...and other times..nothing but a slug.

According to the preview, next week looks like they are going to feature the structure. I wonder if they get back to the "coin" during the episode. I don't mind the parallel plots, but they should update all of them - we all know there is enough filler/fluff to make room.

 

Yeh, those long commercials, they might be making a bundle, royalties for the next ten years or more. I liked it when someone said box drains, if they nail them it might just get real interesting.

I have fantasized/speculated, with no evidence at all, that they would have a pay-per-view final episode where they revealed that they found vast treasures like that saxon gold treasure.

 

I’ve been following this thread occasionally. I have one question. What the hell is Oak Island?

But we are mostly talking about the show https://www.history.com/shows/the-curse-of-oak-island

BTW: notice how they pretty much dropped the "Curse" part?

Huh, I was thinking the opposite. They may have downplayed it but I'm surprised they're still using it. Why? It's almost as if they're wishing someone to die on the project. No one wants that to happen! And the project will be whatever it is. Why trot out some supernatural crap that is just made up for the TV show. Reality is far more interesting than make-believe. "Legend has it". BS! I never heard anything about this alleged "legend".

 

This week's episode was quite good, I thought. As I predicted nothing so far on the new "gold coin". Does anybody else remember that at the end of last season, they gave a quick shot of the U structure? Is everything we are seeing in this weeks show actually very old in terms of where they are at now?

 

After watching the last few episodes of this, I have came to the realization of who is finding the treasure. It's the companies doing the drilling, sheet pile driving, etc.

OK fine, but when we find all the real treasure, you're not getting any

 

I never thought much of this, til the cove structures. It confirms to me that something important to someone did happen here. A hole in the ground....not so much. Trinkets.....not so much.

Whether there is much left of that importance, or any real evidence of anything else is yet to be found.

Has anyone really dug such a deep hole to hide something in? Would you? Think of the exposure while completing such a laborious task. Or was it? Think about the time. What if a man owned one hundred slaves?.......would such a man consider it laborious?

How does one continuously drain the water from such an island hole?

Wouldn't the "flood hole" have to be dug from the borehole up and out?

Maybe all of this has been reasoned out in previous shows. But if they can verify the age of the cove structures.....it's got my interest.

And I appreciate those fellas putting their money on it. I hope they find something earth shattering.

You have to watch for a small guy in a garage for big things to happen.
