The Curse of Oak Island: GARY’S LUCKY FIND at Smith’s Cove (Season 7) | History

All it takes is one good fine night yep.
Jack Begley and metal detection expert Gary Drayton continue searching the spoils recently excavated at Smith’s Cove.

“I think we’re pretty much done with this pallet.”
“Mm-hmm.”

“You know what? We should go for that good stuff, ’cause that was underneath that structure.”
“Mm-hmm. So let’s see if we can get lucky.”

Mike: “Oh man, this is interesting.”

It was while investigating the structure one week ago that the team discovered a decorative piece of lead possibly connected to the medieval cross found two years ago in Smith’s Cove, which was dated to be over 700 years old.

“If this lead, this piece of lead Gary found at the end of the slipway, had the same origins as the cross from the same mine in the same time period, it lends credence to the whole thing. You connect the cross to the slipway, it’s the same construct by the same people.”

“We’ve always been looking for the who, what, when, where, why, and how old things, and this might connect those disparities.”

“Let’s go for this good sandy stuff for Billy to dump. Missy, it must be of interest. All air has been really turned up, yeah.”

“Signal here, Jack. It’s a screamer.”
“Is that it?”

“Wow, nice one, mate! One of those small cribbing spikes or raw iron. No mistake in that.”
“Very well worn there. Also share the same kind of shape. We all have that little one little area that’s corroded more than anywhere else.”

“I think it’s exciting. It’s a couple hundred years old. No cease. That’s the same date as the slipway.”

“Well, maybe even older.”

In the past four weeks, the Oak Island team has discovered a number of similar objects in this same area. But could the cribbing spikes that the team has been finding at Smith’s Cove also be connected to the recently discovered lead artifact?

And could it offer evidence that the newly unearthed wooden structure is actually much older than the slipway discovered last year, which was scientifically proven to have been built in 1769?

“This is a really cool find and it’s an oldie as well. This has been sitting at the side of the slipway for hundreds of years.”

“But I’m a little bit dismayed by the lack of facts or coins from the guys who built the structure. It baffles me that we’re finding so little.”

“Yeah, it’s a bloody head scratcher, mate.”
“Yep, I’m still not giving up my…”
