The Curse of Oak Island: SILVER FOUND In Earth Shattering Discovery (Season 7) | History

• I know that’s going to be
  a little sloppy down there.
  But–
  I’ll try and
  stand on the stones.
  We have got an ongoing
  puzzle in Smith’s Cove.
  And if there’s
  anything to be found
  that’s at the end
  of that slipway,
  well, hopefully, we’ll find it.
  I mean, we’re all
  excited, no one
  more excited than Gary Drayton.
  The hope is we’ll
  find artifacts.
  [MUSIC PLAYING]

[INAUDIBLE] of finding
something, anything.

[BEEPING]
Got a signal, Pete.
[BEEPING]

It’s actually over this big log.
[BEEPING]
Somewhere just in here, Pete.

It’s in there still.
Let me see if I can
dig it out by hand.

What’s that?
I don’t know.
Now, that has got me stumped.
What is that?
It’s a piece of black metal.
Wash it– wash it
in the water there.
Oh, man, this is interesting.
[BLOWS]

Wow.
This could be silver, mate.
That’s what it looks like.
I don’t know if it’s some
kind of design on it,
or whether my eyes are
playing tricks on me.

I don’t know.
It looks like some
kind of silver tag.
NARRATOR: A silver tag?
Could the team have just
found an actual piece
of the Oak Island
treasure at Smith’s Cove?
Why does it have the
little scallops in it?
Who knows?
I mean, it’s probably
been down there for, like,
300 or 400 years.
I mean, that’s been there
a heck of a long time.
Every time I’ve ever
found Spanish treasure
coins made of silver, they’ve
always had this same patina.
It’s oxidized.
It’s contact in a saltwater
environment, mate.
This had been next to that log–
oh, my god– hundreds
and hundreds of years.
We know how old that cross was.
This could be earth-shattering.
Holy–
Holy shamoly, all right.
That’s a cross.
That’s a cross.
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
Rick, Gary, and Peter have
found an artifact that
could be connected
to the 700-year-old lead
cross that was unearthed here
at Smith’s Cove two years ago?
It’s a beautiful specimen.
Now, we need somebody
to look at it.
Well, we can certainly
try to get it tested.
When this is cleaned up, if
there is some kind of design,
oh, we don’t know how
far back this piece goes.
This is what we’ve
been looking for.
Oh, my–
[INAUDIBLE]
I might even go for
a swim after this.
This is fantastic.
Let’s give Marty a call.
It’s what we were
hoping to find,
artifacts in this bump out.
Well, we found
this what could be
silver, the first piece of real
treasure found at Smith’s Cove.
I think, more importantly,
there’s a lot of information
that could be gleaned from it.
The caveat is, it
has to be tested.
