Marty Lagina FURIOUS As Rick EXPOSES Dan Blankenship’s Secret Discovery!

Season 13 of The Curse of Oak Island has revealed new secrets and exciting surprises.
Rick and Marty Lagina have reached a 90-foot depth in the garden shaft, and with the help of state-of-the-art drilling equipment, they have managed to dig even deeper to 95 ft.
The team’s determination is unwavering as they aim to keep pushing the boundaries of the garden shaft to connect with a mysterious old tunnel.

Laird Niven, one of the key members, is especially enthusiastic about their hard work, believing that all their efforts are about to pay off.
Terry Matheson and Charles Barkhouse are closely examining Borehole H8, which they think could be hiding an underground chapel vault.
Past discoveries, such as pieces of parchment and old leather book bindings, have led them to suspect something valuable is buried beneath.

Marty remains hopeful with each small finding. Whether it’s wood that could be part of an old treasure chest or more ordinary objects, each clue brings them closer to solving the mystery.
The journey to reveal Oak Island’s secrets is full of unexpected challenges and thrilling opportunities.
It feels as if the island itself is determined to keep its secrets hidden. Each obstacle seems to bury potential treasure even deeper.

Terry often revisits older excavation sites, wondering if previous digging efforts might have accidentally moved a hidden safe.
Freshwater testing and ground scans give them more confidence that they are getting closer, leading to more targeted and strategic digging.
Rick Lagina is particularly excited about the soil around site H8 and thinks its disturbance could be a sign that they’re nearing the hidden chapel safe in the southeastern marshland of the island.

Gary Drayton, Jack Begley, and Billy Gerhardt begin searching around an old stone path.
There are many clues pointing to this area, and it quickly becomes a priority for the team.
As they dig deeper, they come across a large rock that seems oddly placed right next to the stone path, sparking curiosity and raising more questions.

Rick Lagina is fascinated by the arrangement of stones and the large boulder at their dig site on Oak Island, feeling that these stones are not just a coincidence but a hint toward something valuable buried nearby.
As they continue to chase down every clue and see where it leads, they continue to wonder about the origins and techniques used in historical shipbuilding.

Marty Lagina, Rick’s brother, and his team are searching the swamp area of Oak Island, which has provided interesting finds but raises more questions than answers.
Gary suggests that the swamp might be preserving metal objects better than other parts of the island, renewing their interest and making them more eager to explore further.

Jack Begley discusses the challenge of finding metal near the money pit.
While Lot 5 has been especially difficult to search, an archaeological team is carefully studying a circular stone foundation, hoping to find out its age and purpose.
Archaeologist Jaime Cuba joins the team, bringing new ideas and insights to the excavation.

He focuses on a mysterious old stone structure, offering his own interpretations that change how the team understands the site’s history.
The diverse artifacts they find seem to support this, including a lead token from the 14th century, Venetian glass beads dating from the 1500s to the 1650s, and metal tools linked to historical figures.
All these items hint at the rich and varied past of Oak Island.

Throughout the day, Jaime outlines the boundaries of the old foundation while Jack eagerly helps out.
Jeff is focused on figuring out how this new foundation fits into the larger story of Oak Island.
The team finds pieces of brick, pottery, and glass, giving important clues about how the site was used in the past.

As they dig further, Jaime notices that the soil is unusually dense—hinting at the possible presence of well-preserved structures or objects nearby.
With growing curiosity and excitement about what they might find, the team works harder on the excavation.
Each piece they uncover, no matter how small, could reveal a new layer of Oak Island’s story.

As they gather around a new find similar to one they discovered back in 2019 near a spot called H8, the air is filled with excitement.
Archaeologist Fiona Steele adds to the moment by revealing another discovery, which boosts everyone’s enthusiasm.
Laird Niven suggests comparing this new find near the stone foundation on the island’s western side to earlier samples to piece together more of Oak Island’s unfolding story.

The team embarks on a journey to uncover the hidden history of Oak Island, a mysterious island in the Bahamas.
They send a wooden piece from under the garden shaft for carbon dating.
And when they discover that the wood dates back to between 1631 and 1684, excitement grows.

The team is focused on planning their next steps and finding more details about the island’s past.
Although they have not yet found the treasure, they are constantly discovering new clues and secrets along the way.
One such discovery points to an ancient underground corridor, suggesting that there is still much more to uncover and understand.

In the latest episode of The Curse of Oak Island Season 12, the Lagina brothers discovered evidence that might finally prove there is a Viking connection to Oak Island.
They found evidence that suggests Vikings, who supposedly appeared in a nearby region, might have actually left their mark on this island.

In Newfoundland, Canada, Marty Lagina and his team searched over 600 meters to find L’Anse aux Meadows—the only confirmed Viking settlement in North America.
This site, discovered in 1960 by Norwegian explorer Helge Ingstad and his archaeologist wife Anne Stine Ingstad, is proof that the Norse were on this side of the Atlantic around the year 1000—long before Columbus supposedly discovered the New World.

Spanning 31 square miles, L’Anse aux Meadows has revealed eight structures, including what seems to be a forge.
The settlement has yielded over 800 artifacts so far, from everyday tools to remnants of ancient Norse craftsmanship.

According to sagas—the old Norse tales—they came from Greenland to explore this new territory for resources.
Marty and his team, along with archaeologist Laird Niven and metallurgist Emma Culligan, explored further into this Viking mystery, believing that the Vikings might have made it even farther south—possibly to Oak Island.

During their travels across Europe, the team uncovered clues that suggested Norse descendants may have worked with the Knights Templar, the legendary protectors of priceless religious treasures.
At several locations, they found symbols and artifacts strikingly similar to those uncovered on Oak Island over the past two centuries.

Back at L’Anse aux Meadows, experts like Loretta Decker from Parks Canada suggest that the settlement was more like a base camp.

At this point, the narrative shifts unexpectedly to a different story, seemingly unrelated to Oak Island:

Could they recover from the loss of trust? Was Rick capable of stepping up again after such a costly error?

As the episode unfolded, leaked documents and confidential sources exposed a devastating reality in the Klondike’s gold mining industry.
Parker Schnabel, once hailed as mining’s unstoppable prodigy, now faces an unprecedented crisis that is sending shockwaves through the community.

Internal records obtained through multiple industry veterans paint a disturbing picture:
Millions in equipment sitting idle, gold production plummeting by 60%, and crew members abandoning ship.

Our year-long investigation, compiled from exclusive interviews, drone footage, and classified operational data, reveals how the teenager who revolutionized modern mining managed to destroy his own empire.

The evidence suggests this isn’t just about falling gold totals—it’s about ambition, overconfidence, and the true cost of pushing both ground and equipment beyond their limits.

Parker Schnabel’s story wasn’t just another tale of striking it rich in the frozen north.
At 17, while his peers worried about college applications, Parker was already moving pay dirt by the ton in Alaska’s harshest terrain.
From hauling mere ounces to breaking records with thousands, Parker’s early success seemed unstoppable.

But recent seasons paint a different picture: golden dreams turning to dust, with diminishing returns raising serious questions about this young empire’s foundation.
Growing up at Big Nugget Mine, Parker absorbed mining wisdom through blood and sweat.
His grandfather, John Schnabel, wasn’t just teaching equipment operation—he was crafting a legacy.

Industry veterans watched as this teenager absorbed decades of knowledge, transforming their skepticism into grudging respect as he laid the groundwork for what would become mining’s most remarkable success story.
When John handed over Big Nugget’s reins, Parker transformed this inheritance into an empire.
Running operations with military precision, his crew pulled numbers that left veterans speechless.

Each cleanup wrote new chapters in Alaskan mining history, proving this kid wasn’t just working the ground—he was revolutionizing the industry.

Confidential operational logs from this pivotal period reveal a critical shift in Parker’s trajectory.
Industry veterans, speaking on condition of anonymity, describe watching the young prodigy’s operation transform from a single wash plant into something unprecedented.
Internal documents suggest this transformation period, while appearing golden on the surface, concealed strategic decisions that would later prove catastrophic.

According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, what happened next would reshape the entire Klondike mining landscape.
Parker’s empire was expanding faster than permafrost in summer thaw.
Each season brought bigger equipment, more efficient systems, and gold totals that made industry veterans question everything they knew about mining.

His method was methodical, almost military in its precision—each piece of ground tested, mapped, and attacked with a strategy that maximized every minute of the short mining season.
Water management systems that other miners could only dream of kept the wash plants running at peak efficiency.
Each new claim Parker acquired turned into another golden chapter in his success story.

The young boss had developed an almost supernatural sense for reading ground, knowing exactly where to put his drill holes for maximum return.
His crew moved like a synchronized dance of heavy machinery, each operator knowing their role in the grand production of pulling gold from the frozen north.

The mining industry in the Klondike region has seen significant expansion, with operations growing beyond expectations.
The stakes have never been higher, and the margin for error has never been thinner.
The operation has grown almost too big to control—with multiple wash plants running simultaneously across different claims.
Water management has become a constant…
