Epic TREASURE Hunts and TOP FINDS Revealed | The Curse of Oak Island

You can find anything anywhere in here.
You never ever know what’s going to come
out your next hole. Top pocket find.
Pocket find where you headed anyway, just here.
There’s a clearing just here. It’s a good
place to start whenever you’re in close
proximity to The Money Pit. You have no
idea the possibility of what you might
find. I think we’re all very excited to
see what might come of today. Wow, look at
that. Is it a button or a coin? About that.
Well, David, you are lucky. I’ve got
another target. Hang
on… nothing, certainly roundness in the
hall. Oh, another one! It’s a coin. I’m
seeing Britannia on it. It’s definitely some
kind of English coin. I see a one and a
six. Looks like it’s got a head on it. Yeah,
look who I see! That’s Charles the First.
Wow, definitely fantastic! We definitely
haven’t found any of these. I mean, well,
Marty, maybe I am good luck.
You’re goddang right you’re good luck.
I see 1600-something. Looks like 1673. Those are probably the most
significant thing in a couple years. Holy
sholy! Way to go, Gary.
It’s called treasure hunting, mate.
You have to hunt for the treasure pretty
much. Sounds good, mate. Got something
right down the middle, mate.
It’s out! It’s out! Hopefully something
good. Oh, that’s
fantastic! This is a Bobby dazzler of a
button, mate. This is
fantastic! Looks to me like it’s silver,
and that’s a starburst design in the
center. Yeah, this would have been like a
little state symbol back in the day too.
Nice silver buttons. It is a beauty. Even
though I’d love to put this in my top
pocket, we know we got to tag and bag it.
You know, I’d be curious to see what L
says about that.
One good afternoon. Hi, this is the, uh,
button that we had. I actually was able
to expose at least that much, but it’s
so heavily corroded, that’s all
that’s available. It is a stamped design on the
front. It has a raised foot on the back,
and if you look where the silver
laminate is broken, that implies that
it’s what you might call a mold seam.
And if you add those things up with the Noel
Hume guidebook to Colonial artifacts, it
says that this can be dated between 1726
and 1776. Really? Yeah. I think the biggest
aha moment for the years we’ve been
involved in this now has been the 1769
date of the, uh, slipway, and this brackets
right perfectly with that. So it’s a great
time period. Yeah, we don’t know at the
moment whether that’s military or not.
It could well be. If we can infer
that it might be a military coat button,
there’s a lot of theories that revolve
around the military. Right, we’ve found a
large amount of military-related items,
and so those military-related theories
are still with us. Absolutely. It’s
shaping up to be a very interesting year,
and, uh, look forward to your
participation. Appreciate it.
This area is one of the last areas
that’s been cleared, and we haven’t
detected anything out of place.
Everything should be in situ.
I love your enthusiasm, mate. I’m PCH. I’m ready
to get stuck in in this area as well.
Woo!
Oh, you got a signal, mate. You’re on it.
Yeah, I’m on it. Going for it. Wow. Oh, you
got it. Check this out. Oh,
sweet musket ball. Fantastic, mate. This is
an oldie as well, but the look of it. What
time periods musket balls, Gary? Late
1500s all the way to the mid to late
1800s. When I think of musket balls, I’ve got
to go back to Colonial days on that. Yeah.
Fantastic. See if it’s got any friends in
the area.
Oh, that’s a nice signal. Yeah, that’s a
nice signal, mate. That’s my best
guess. It’s out, mate. Oh, wow, this could be
something special, mate. It’s got some
little markings on it. Wow, I’m
seeing a design on that, mate. But we
don’t have to speculate. All the finds go
back to the lab, get those guys to tell
us what metal it is. It’s an interesting
find, that is for sure. Great find, Gary.
This is a little piece that Gary
and Jack found on lot 7. I was hoping
that it was some kind of coin. You might
find what Emma has to say a little more
interesting.
So what was really
interesting about this is the actual
material properties. So it’s mainly
copper, which wasn’t too surprising. Then
it had an extremely high TIN content,
which makes it bronze, along with a
really high arsenic content, which makes
it an arsenical bronze. And that stands
out to me. What would be the point of a
metal mixture like this? So anything with
like a high arsenate content has a low
vaporizing point, that’s slower than its
melting point of other metals. So during
like forging or casting, there’d be a lot
of arsenic gas in the air, which would
affect your nervous system. So there was
this long period of just it phasing out,
and from the 16th century onwards, it’s
non-existent. They stopped making this
type of metal in the 1500s.
Yes, that is absolutely brilliant. It is
pretty old.
Yeah. Alright, well it’s incredibly
interesting, as everyone has
articulated, but it’s time to get back
out there and take a look, see what else
we can find. Yep, we can do that for sure.
Alrighty. I had a feeling about
that, so we should be able to bring back
a ton of stuff from here. That is what a
button or a coin would sound like, just
an
in, baby, be something good. What is that?
That’s got some designs on it. Yeah, that
has… oh, that’s cool. This reminds me of
like a cat badge, a military cap
badge. This would have been a decoration
on a cap. It would have been on the front,
and it’s a top pocket find, mate. In we go.
Alright, and we’ll see if there’s any
more parts to it. We got another signal
in the
top. I’m hoping it’s more of the same.
Oh, it is! Yes! Oh man, look at the… I… I
could… before I move, I could see the FLIR.
Le, that is definitely… it’s definitely a
fit like a glove! Wow, look at that design
on there. That’s a French design. This
would date to the 1700s. French military,
baby! Yeah! What was they either putting
here, or searching for, or protecting?
Definitely a top pocket find.
Guys, what we’ll do, we’ll go up and down
in this little area here, work our way
towards the rock.
Okay, one here, Rick. It’s good depth. It’s
saying 10.
In… wo wo wo! W… wo W… wo, see I see something.
Oh, holy shimo! Alright, it’s a cross!
That’s a cross, it’s a square roll. Yeah,
right there. It’s heavy too. Oh my gosh. I
mean, that is an old, old cross! Gary was
extremely excited, more excited than
anything he’s ever found in the island,
and mind you now, this year he’s found
coins from the late
1600s. Uh, it looks like… like it’s lead.
How old? Look at that. How old that is! Oh
my gosh, that
is… that’s really old. I first saw, I
thought, that looks like medieval, a
medieval cross. So I would say that is
somewhere in between 1200 and 1600, just
the crudeness of it and the style. I mean,
you don’t normally see this kind of
style. I’ve seen that shape before, I
swear. That’ll tell the tale how old it
is. That shape! Where do you think you’ve
seen it before? You know, when I was in
France, I saw a carving like that in the
Templar prison in Dome. That is
unbelievable. I mean, we might have just
made history. Eric, what did they say?
That was
fantastic. Remarkable.
