BREAKING: Undiscovered Hatch Found on Oak Island!

Gary discovers evidence of a secret tunnel. Could this secret tunnel bring answers to the many unanswered questions? Stay tuned to find out more.

Gary Drayton, an expert in metal detecting, and the rest of the team, including geoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner and archaeologist Dr. Aaron Taylor and Miriam Amarald, investigate stone walkways and a possible cellar feature near the swamp’s eastern boundary.

In a recent episode of The Curse of Oak Island, Gary and David unearth a signal embedded in a wall throughout the course of their inquiry, which ultimately leads to the discovery of a large caster wheel buried underneath. Gary hypothesizes that this wheel may have been utilized on Oak Island during a tunneling operation, adding to the prior discoveries of tunneling gear on the island.

As Gary discovers evidence of the secret tunnel, the finding begs the question of who first deposited the item and who found it subsequently—the initial depositors or the later searchers. In light of this discovery, the group intends to conduct additional research on the caster wheel.

Gary Drayton and the rest of the team are looking for stone walkways and a suspected subterranean feature close to the eastern boundary of the marsh. The team also includes geoscientist Dr. Ian Spooner, archaeologist Dr. Aaron Taylor, and Miriam Ammerald.

Gary and David make a discovery in a wall as they are excavating and call Aaron over to help remove the signal. They find a large caster wheel that Gary suspects may have been used in a tunneling operation on Oak Island. This discovery adds to the evidence of prior tunneling tools found on the island, raising the question of whether it was left by depositors or searchers.

This discovery has piqued the interest of the group, and they want to store it away for further examination.

While metal detecting for treasure, hunter Gary Drayton found not one but two unique treasures. His first find was made near Oak Island’s shoreline—a button from a military officer’s uniform from the 17th century, though it is not known which military it belonged to. On the other hand, there might be evidence that this military was responsible for burying some of the secrets surrounding the island.

The second discovery was made by Drayton and his team in a forest setting not too far away. They discovered a small coin buried in the dirt, believed to be another Maraved from the 17th century, similar to one discovered at the conclusion of the previous season. The size of this coin seemed much smaller than the others, probably two meades rather than eight.

These extraordinary discoveries, despite their modest size, have the potential to lead to a far larger treasure concealed somewhere on Oak Island.

While treasure hunting along the shoreline, Drayton and his crew, working with Oak Island team leader Rick Lagina, discovered two King Charles II Britannia coins from the 17th century hidden beneath rocks and pyrite strewn across the shore. The year 1771 was plainly printed on one of the coins, lending credence to the theory that the currency dates back several centuries.

Where did these 17th-century coins come from? Could those searching for buried wealth have accidentally dropped them? Or could they have been deposited by a wealthy gang attempting to hide treasure on Oak Island? Without a doubt, the Oak Island crew would need to conduct additional research.

The digging of the Money Pit on Oak Island is generally recognized as marking the beginning of treasure hunting on the island. The pit, thought to contain buried treasure, was discovered in 1795 by a group of youths exploring the island. They started digging, uncovering layers of logs and other items, but their attempts were thwarted by water filling the pit.

News of the discovery spread, and treasure hunters from around the world began flocking to Oak Island. In 1803, the Enslow Company undertook the first organized excavation of the Money Pit but failed to reach the bottom. Over the next century, multiple groups attempted to uncover the island’s mysteries, often foiled by flooding or booby-trap mechanisms.

Despite these obstacles, the Oak Island Treasure Company, established in 1861, managed to dig down to 90 ft before flooding stopped them. The company eventually went bankrupt in 1909, pausing excavations. Since then, many groups have tried to find the treasure, but the Money Pit remains unsolved.

In recent years, new organizations have sought to solve Oak Island’s mysteries. The Oak Island Tourism Society, established in 2010, focuses on preserving the island’s history and promoting tourism. The Oak Island Archaeological Society has been involved in digs and increasing public awareness of the treasure hunt.

The majority of the treasure would likely go to the Lagina brothers under the government-issued treasure trove license, which allows licensed treasure finders to keep 90% of what they find. If a substantial treasure were discovered, multiple claimants could emerge, but the most obvious recipients are the Lagina brothers and the government.

Did King Arthur really exist, or was he just a figment of our ancestors’ imagination? Scientists have explored this question, revealing intriguing findings. Some say the legend endured because Arthur was seen as a messianic figure, a protector who set a code of conduct and defended his people from Saxon enemies.

From retrieving his father’s sword from the mythical stone to proving he was Britain’s rightful king, Arthur fought many battles to establish his kingdom. With Merlin’s guidance and his knights of the Round Table, Arthur’s reign became known for prosperity. Despite challenges—including his queen’s affair with Sir Lancelot and numerous wars against the Saxons—Arthur’s reign left a lasting mark on British history.

Arthur’s illegitimate son, Morrid, caused a civil war that led to the Battle of Camelan and eventually the deaths of both Arthur and Morrid. Over time, lack of proof has rendered King Arthur’s reign a myth, though artifacts and excavations provide tantalizing clues.

Excavations at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall have revealed relics and artifacts dating to Arthur’s purported time. A stone tablet inscribed with “Artonu” may be linked to him. Other artifacts suggest Tintagel was a center of trade and culture, not just a military outpost.

Glastonbury Abbey, considered hallowed ground, may hold Arthur and Queen Gwy’s final resting place. Monks discovered a grave and a wooden coffin containing a large man and smaller woman, thought to match descriptions of Arthur and his queen. This site has drawn attention from scholars and monarchs across Europe.

Somerset’s Cadbury Castle may have been Camelot. Its geographical location, fortifications, and artifacts suggest it could have been Arthur’s court. Defensive structures and battle damage support its historical importance. Excavations have revealed relics and symbols linked to Arthurian legends.

Finally, the Winchester Round Table, displayed at Winchester Castle, may be a reconstruction of Arthur’s legendary table. Dating to the 13th century, it bears inscriptions of Arthur and his knights. From burial sites to artifacts, these discoveries paint a vivid picture of King Arthur’s enduring legend.
