Rick Lagina Just Announced What Every Oak Island Fan Has Been Waiting For!

For me, this is every bit a search for the truth, no matter where it goes, as it is a search [music] for treasure.
>> From the moment the Lega brothers and their dedicated team set sail into the sea to the time they unearthed mysterious artifacts, the quest for the treasures hidden in the Oak Island money pit [music] has been nothing short of a thrilling adventure. And now the unthinkable happened. For centuries, [music] the idea of discovering hidden treasure under the ground has excited people’s imaginations [music] and made them curious.
>> That’s the money pit coming down. Uh, and the flood [music] tunnel coming out to Smith’s Cove, flooding this tunnel.
And that’s Leverne’s treasure cash right there.
>> I say we go out there today.
>> Yeah, let’s go find the site. Today, I want to take you on a journey to a place where legends and mysteries converge, [music] where every spade of soil and drop of sweat promises an astonishing revelation.
Oak Island, [music] a small piece of land off the coast of Nova Scotia in Canada, has been a cryptic enigma for generations. Its story is one that will leave [music] you amazed and wanting to explore the hidden depths of history.
But before we plunge into the captivating world of Oak Island, let’s consider a fundamental [music] question.
What is it about this place that keeps people coming back generation after generation undeterred by countless challenges and [music] setbacks? What drew explorers, adventurers, and even famous figures like Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Mark Twain [music] to this remote island? As we dive into this story, you’ll understand why this enigmatic treasure hunt has withtood [music] the test of time. Let’s start at the beginning where the mysteries of Oak Island all began. Imagine a young boy just 11 years old flipping through the pages of a [music] Reader’s Digest in 1965.
Rick Laena had no idea [music] that this seemingly innocent act would alter the course of his life in such an extraordinary [music] way. The article that caught his eye told of a treasure buried on an island in the wilds of Canada. Rick and his brother Marty were further [music] intrigued when their father introduced them to an article about Oak Island in the Wall Street Journal. It was like a call from destiny, [music] beckoning them to a grand adventure. Rick, in particular, felt a deep calling to investigate [music] this buried treasure driven by a curiosity and adventurous spirit that marked him from a young age. Even in his youth, he knew he had a significant mission to fulfill, and he was [music] resolute in his determination.
You see, Rick wasn’t your average kid.
He had the soul of an explorer [music] and a thirst for adventure that couldn’t be satisfied by ordinary childhood pursuits.
>> So everything was about treasures [music] because that’s what they were reading about.
>> Back in 1964 in his hometown of Kingsford, [music] he embarked on his first treasure hunt. And the excitement of it all was burned in his memory. As he and his [music] friends dug beneath the soil, uncovering nothing more than a pile of dirt beneath a colossal granite rock, their spirit remained unbroken.
Curious souls like Rick never give up.
They know there’s a world out there waiting for them to uncover its hidden secrets. [music] Now, let’s leap back in time to the late 1700s when another young boy, much [music] like Rick, stumbled upon an unusual depression in the ground of Oak Island. 8 years [music] later, the Enslow Company initiated a search of the area. It’s curious, isn’t it? But why did it take so long to start the search?
Perhaps fate had a hand in it, guiding the [music] island’s secrets to be uncovered in their own time. When the explorers [music] dug deep, they unearthed a buried stone tablet inscribed with an enigmatic [music] message. The challenge of decoding the inscription proved overwhelming for their time. It wasn’t until [music] nearly a century later in 1886 that the inscription was finally translated. 40 ft [music] below, 2 million lies buried, it read. But what could [music] this mean? The word pounds left them baffled.
Could it be the weight of the treasure hidden [music] beneath? Or was there a deeper mystery? Now, here’s where it gets really exciting. [music] The origin of this treasure has sparked countless theories. Some believed it was connected to William Shakespeare, suggesting that the bard himself may have concealed [music] his manuscripts and earnings beneath the island’s soil.
While this theory was attractive for a [music] time, it has since been widely debunked. Another theory suggests that the treasure belongs to none other than the infamous [music] Marie Antuinet.
According to this story, her maid secretly transported her wealth and jewelry to Oak Island [music] during a turbulent period of history. The French Navy might have even played a role, but the truth remains shrouded in mystery.
And then there are [music] the pirate stories. Captain Kid, Captain Blackbeard, and other seafaring legends have all been linked to the treasur’s whereabouts. When I was first asked whether it was possible pirates could have constructed the money pit, I scoffed. You know, I mean, because pirates would, what would they do with their [music] booty to dig a hole 10 ft deep, bury it, and come back for it?
>> Captain Blackbeard’s [music] ominous declaration that he hid something where none but Satan and myself can find it has fueled [music] speculation that he might have concealed something valuable on the island. Could it be that all [music] these stories hold a grain of truth with treasures lying side by side just waiting to be unearthed? But the most [music] intriguing theory by far revolves around Masonic markings scattered throughout the island. The symbols found correspond to Masonic rituals [music] raising questions about the possibility of the Freemasons being involved in the island’s history. Did they hide a treasure there, too? The Masonic [music] connection adds a layer of mystique to the tale, enticing us to explore further. As we journey deeper into the past, [music] we come to 1796 when another young boy, Daniel McInness, made a revelation that would set the stage for [music] centuries of exploration.
A curious boy wandering through the woods of Oak Island stumbled upon [music] a circular depression, and a tree with its branches deliberately cut away. As he gazed upon this [music] scene, a spark of inspiration ignited within him. He believed that the [music] tree’s peculiar condition hinted at a greater purpose. perhaps as a pulley for a hidden treasure. With the tales of pirates and [music] treasure chests echoing in his mind, Daniel McGinness enlisted the help of his [music] friends John Smith and Anthony Vaughn to begin a quest for what lay beneath. Determined [music] to unearth the truth, the young boys started digging beneath that tree.
Their determination led them to a depth of 2 feet before they hit something [music] solid, flag stone. But rather than discouraging them, this discovery only intensified [music] their curiosity. Instead of giving up, they decided to remove the flag stone and [music] keep digging. With every shovel of dirt they removed, they uncovered layers upon layers of oak [music] logs, each unveiling a new mystery. Even when they realized that they [music] couldn’t proceed further, the boys didn’t waver. They knew they were on the brink of [music] a grand adventure, a quest that would become their life’s mission. Almost a decade [music] later, in the early 1800s, the Enslow Company arrived on Oak Island.
Picking [music] up where the young boys had left off, they brought equipment and expertise to delve even deeper into the island’s mysteries. After reaching [music] a depth of 60 ft, they encountered more oak logs. But this time, [music] they discovered something unusual. Coconut fiber and charcoal in thick layers. [music] It was as if the earth itself was guarding its secrets layer by layer.
Excitement surged as the team uncovered a stone tablet inscribed with enigmatic [music] symbols.
>> That is really interesting when you consider what the solution to the cipher that was on the 90 ft [music] stone said which was 40 ft below 2 million pounds are buried.
>> The clues mounted and [music] it seemed that they were on the brink of a monumental discovery. Yet just as victory appeared within reach, water began to flood into [music] the pit. Was this a cruel deception? a riddle posed by the island itself. [music] It seemed that the Earth would not yield its treasures without a fight. The Enslow Company was forced to abandon [music] its search. It would take several more attempts by various groups throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries to resume [music] the search and face a succession of obstacles and hardships.
[music] Mysterious flooding tunnels, booby traps, and unforeseen setbacks thwarted these courageous treasure hunters at every turn. Oak Island acquired a reputation as a [music] place that devoured men and their dreams. Then in 1931, history turned another page in the Oak [music] Island Chronicle. The story of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s visit to the island might just be the most [music] intriguing of all. At the time, Roosevelt was a rising political [music] figure. He had embarked on a cruise to Nova Scotia, and one of his stops [music] took him to Oak Island. During this visit, he examined the ongoing excavations [music] and the centuries old mystery that surrounded the place.
Did the allure of Oak Island’s hidden [music] riches captivate him as well? Or did his visit somehow play a part in the island’s fate? Only history [music] holds the answers. But there’s more. As we peel back the layers of history, another famous figure makes an appearance in the tale of Oak Island.
Mark Twain, [music] renowned for his wit and literary works, published an essay on the treasure [music] hunt in 1885.
His humorous commentary on the subject sheds light on the widespread fascination with the island’s [music] mysteries, even in his time. Mark Twain’s words add a touch of literary flavor to the narrative, proving that the treasure [music] hunt was not confined to adventurers and explorers alone. It transcended the [music] boundaries of time and culture. Over the years, countless more treasure hunters have arrived on Oak Island, [music] each hoping to be the one to finally reveal the island’s secrets. The allure of riches, [music] adventure, and the thrill of the unknown, continues to draw people from all walks of life. Today, [music] The Curse of Oak Island, a reality TV series starring Rick and Marty Lea, continues to [music] document their ongoing quest, captivating audiences with the prospect of finding what lies hidden [music] beneath the earth. The saga began with the Lega brothers, Rick and Marty, along with their fellow Oak Island landowner, Tom Nolan, embarking on yet another excavation [music] in search of vital clues. As they stood on Lot 13 just northeast of the swamp, they were fueled by a burning desire to unveil the island’s long guarded [music] secrets.
Their journey led them to a mysterious formation known as the quadrilateral.
It was while [music] excavating this enigmatic site that they stumbled upon an unexpected clue. a type of [music] clay that had historical significance.
This clay of a distinctive blue hue had previously been found at the Money Pit in [music] 1804 when the first major excavation took place. The presence of this blue clay [music] was no ordinary occurrence as it had acted as a sealant to prevent water from infiltrating the money pit. It was a critical component in safeguarding [music] the treasure secrecy. Remarkably, the team discovered a similar substance when investigating the eye of the swamp in [music] 2018.
This led to an interesting question. Had the quadrilateral been created [music] by the same hands that constructed the money pit? The team’s excitement was really high as they delved [music] deeper into their findings. Dr. Ian Spooner, a geoccientist, was called in to examine the mysterious quadrilateral [music] feature. His expertise shed light on the situation as he unearthed a layer of clay beneath the stones. It was an odd [music] discovery given the geological conditions of the area. The presence of different clay types [music] and colors suggested a deeper story. Was this evidence of significant human intervention? Theories [music] began to emerge. The idea that the quadrilateral was a human-made construct gained traction. The team’s [music] speculations about the purpose behind this peculiar structure became more exciting. [music] The notion of sealing off the top of a hidden underground structure to prevent water from entering added another layer of mystery [music] to the tale. It seemed that the presence of blue clay might indeed be a key indicator of hidden treasure. But is it even conceivable to do so? Is this the fabled treasure that has gone undiscovered by those who have been searching for it for many years?
Oak Island is home to a treasure that has been a source of fascination for [music] tourists for many years. A treasure that lies hidden beneath the island’s turbulent seas and lush wild vegetation. [music] A wealth that is so enormous that everyone believes it has the ability to change the course of history. For a considerable amount of time, the possibility of uncovering enormous wealth and concealed items on Oak Island has sparked the imagination of individuals who are interested in history as well as those who are looking for treasure.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that numerous attempts were made to solve the secrets of the island, the results were not always satisfactory. On the other hand, something major has surfaced today that is ready to challenge our understanding of the world in a deep way. During the very third season of their expedition, a strange event took place. While they were digging a hole that was quite deep, they came across something that was truly remarkable deep within the soil. When compared to the Templar coin, the Roman sword, during the very third season of their expedition, a strange event had taken place. While they were digging a hole that was quite deep, they came across something that was truly remarkable deep within the soil. The ancient Roman sword was a ceremonial sword used in Roman rituals. Certainly, this was not just an old sword. Rather, it was a blade that brought back their faith. You might be wondering why. Mainly due to the fact that the discovery of this weapon [music] hinted at something truly spectacular.
Oak Island was thought to have been visited by Romans before Christopher Columbus’s famous expedition to the Americas. According to this proposition, can you believe that? [music] Mainly due to the fact that the discovery of this weapon hinted at something truly spectacular, Oak Island was thought to have been visited by Romans before Christopher Columbus’ famous expedition to the Americas. According to this proposition, it was necessary for them to verify that the sword in question was in fact from that time period. Consequently, in order to verify the reliability of the information, [music] they were required to carry out additional investigations.
Additionally, when they proceeded with their search, they came across something that was even more incredible. How about a coin? This particular one included the insignia of the Knights Templar. The secret society of the Middle Ages is something you are familiar with. It was the discovery of this coin that prompted them to speculate about whether or not the Knights Templar were also present on Oak Island. When I finally found the missing piece of the puzzle, it was like a puzzle. There were more surprises to come after that. During the process of digging and sorting through the ground, they came upon antique ceramics and things that belong to a number of previous cultures. [music] The place was like a treasure trove of old artifacts.
A Spanish copper coin that is thought to have been dated to the 17th century was the first significant [music] discovery that the Lagginina brothers made after years of excavation and using a fine tooth comb to comb through the excavation site known as the money pit.
The discovery of an antique Spanish coin in the money pit is an exciting finding since the discovery of a single coin typically indicates that there are many coins to be discovered in the vicinity.
Is it possible that the eeland conceals a kiche of Spanish dubloons within its confiness? They drained a massive hole in the third season when they unearthed some old antique artifacts. The brothers and their crew were responsible for the discovery. During one of the episodes, a fellow treasure hunter gives them what appears to be a Roman sword. If this sword were to be authenticated, it would demonstrate that the Romans had actually landed on American soil thousands of years ago. Additionally, it would demonstrate [music] that the treasure of Oak Island may be much older and more valuable than anyone had previously believed. Following the continuation of excavations and mapping, the courageous treasure hunters came to the realization that the money pit was far deeper than anyone had initially believed it to be.
They made another attempt to drain the water, but while they were doing so, they became aware of something that was somewhat peculiar. There was water entering the pit, and despite their efforts to empty it, it continued to fill up with water each time. The brothers were able to determine that the water was coming in from the beach that was located nearby with the assistance of professionals and the utilization of a variety of high-tech procedures. In addition to being totally certain that their most recent discoveries are significant, [music] Marty is also certain that they have demonstrated that something exceptional and significant took place on the island a great number of years ago. He made the following statement. The evidence suggests that something quite odd did occur on this island prior to the year 1795.
Something happened here prior to the year 1795 [music] and apparently much earlier at least 100 years ago.
Nevertheless, what mysteries might the island be concealing? the Oak Island, the location where the crew made the discovery of a true jewel, [music] a rare piece of dazzling gold that had been buried away for generations. They were left wondering if they were following in the footsteps of explorers from 1909 as a result of this shining discovery, which caused their minds to race with wild ideas in the hopes that it would lead them to a chamber that was stuffed with treasures or a vault that was hidden from the outer world. They watched as the B4C shaft was painstakingly excavated. This would bring them one step closer to the mythical wealth that they had been after all along. A peculiar discovery attracted their attention in the B4C shaft, [music] which led to their investigation.
One of the most impressive examples of human ingenuity is a spike made of rough iron that most likely dates back centuries. [music] A solid bedrock hurdle was discovered by this experienced excavation team after they submerged themselves in the earth to a depth of around 130 ft. Their efforts to find wealth were called into question when they came across this geological obstacle at the conclusion of their seasonal digging. The group, on the other hand, did not give up and continued to fight. On the contrary, they maintained their unwavering resolve and were open to the possibility of incorporating cuttingedge technologies that could be of assistance to them in their goal. They were able to move on when they had faith that the island’s soil had enormous treasures that were buried beneath it. As part of their tenacious search for the legendary treasure of Oak Island, the Lagginina brothers and their resolute team sought the guidance of Carmen Le, a true blacksmithing expert. In order to assist in unraveling the riddle surrounding the origins and antiquity of the iron spike, Leger’s knowledgeable assistance was sought. The thorough investigation that Ley conducted led to the discovery of a surprising discovery. In addition to adding to the mystique that surrounds the place, [music] the iron spike very probably had a part in the first creation of the money pit. There have been some fascinating underwater discoveries made on Oak Island. For their perilous journey into the waters surrounding Oak Island, the courageous Lagginina brothers [music] along with their devoted team used a sophisticated magnetometer. They set out on their journey in order to locate metallic objects that were concealed beneath the surface of the water. This cuttingedge technology was present. Signals that were both exciting and perplexing were encountered by their ship as it continued to move forward, particularly in the vicinity of the elusive Frog Island. A tempting potential of an ancient catastrophe that had been shrouded in centuries of marine tradition and mystery [music] was indicated by these omens. In order to accomplish their goal of uncovering the mysteries of the ocean depths, the group meticulously organized a non-intrusive investigation that would involve a multitude of cuttingedge scanning equipment [music] and high-tech cameras alike. For the purpose of shedding light on the history of human participation in these seas, they wanted to gain a license to continue exploring, uncover artifacts, and gather information. In order to validate the existence of a massive metallic object that was concealed beneath the ocean floor, Tony Samson, a diver extraordinaire, and Dr.
Lee Spence, a well-known underwater archaeologist, coordinated a dramatic underwater expedition. It should be noted, however, that their voyage was not devoid of challenges.
>> [music] >> The cloudy conditions which were hidden by layers of silt and dense vegetation made it difficult for them to obtain a clear perspective of the path ahead of them. Their search area was aggressively increased and they discovered additional intriguing indicators of a possible shipwreck. The details of the catastrophe were masked by jagged rocks and the luxurant embrace of kelp forests. [music] They were not deterred by the high odds. Excitement and anticipation were palpably among the members of the squad as they awaited the signal to begin excavating waves. Each new finding brought them closer to the heart of the Oak Island mystery, [music] and their excitement rose as a result of their combined efforts. Although there was a great deal of enthusiasm and anticipation, the ghost of uncertainty was still very much present. An unexpected turn of events in this [music] captivating tale of discovery and adventure was the fact that the search for a permit to continue with their grandiose [music] excavation attempts remained shrouded in mist.
Investigate the digital labyrinth that Oak Island has to offer. By the time the courageous Oak Island exploration team had progressed further into their exciting mission, Rick Lagginina and his dedicated crew found themselves in the middle of the interpretive center. With a strong desire to uncover the mysterious facts that were concealed within the very center of the island, they embarked on an exciting journey of discovery alongside a collection of cuttingedge imaging gear. As the digital wizardry displayed what appeared to be a parchment that was anxious to tell its [music] story, the team’s enthusiasm level increased. Like pieces of a puzzle that were supposed to unveil Oak Island’s hidden stories, each pixel and line on the screen had the promise of disclosing more intriguing information over time. In the course of navigating this digital labyrinth, the narrative [music] became more intense. Their virtual journey led them to a relic from a bygone era, a copy of a cannon from the 16th century. This was an unexpected turn of events that brought them to their destination. The team’s curiosity was peaked by the fact that the size of this incredible discovery was very similar to that of cannonballs from long ago. There is a possibility that an ancient cannon was brought to the island in order to protect something of tremendous significance. The story of Oak Island is a fascinating enigma that dates back hundreds of years and has fascinated people who are interested in history as well as those who are interested in adventure. [music] As we continue to explore deeper into this fascinating narrative, we are left with a trail of intriguing questions left behind. Oak Island, which is cloaked in fog and mystery, might in fact be the location of magnificent treasures that have the potential to alter the course of history. In their never-ending hunt for the mysteries that Oak Island holds, [music] how far will the Lagginina brothers and their devoted team go in their pursuit? An investigation is underway to uncover secrets ranging from Portugal to Oak Island. Kintad Regalera is a magnificent medieval mansion that is hidden in the heart of Portugal and has [music] roots that date to the early 1900s.
Rick Lagginina and his brave team embarked on an exciting trip to Kinta de Regalera.
Among the beautiful walls of this ancient palace, they made a startling discovery that will blow your mind.
Masonic and Templar rituals were once carried out here by the mysterious Knights Templar who once dominated this place. As they continue their discoveries, they eventually come across a fascinating initiation that is concealed within the land. The fact that this well had nine levels came as a complete surprise to them. It was a reflection of the well-known nine floors of the original money pit that was concealed on the mysterious Oak Island.
After discovering the well’s intricate construction and its enticing potential link to the mysterious Oak Island mystery, with its famed money hole at its core, the team was inundated with inquiries. The well was the center of the discussion. There were curious holes concealed within the palace’s depths, which the researchers discovered when they dug deeper into their investigations. There was a possibility that these intriguing empty spaces were hiding a treasure vault that had been shrouded in secrecy for a very long time. A fascinating idea was conceived as a result of their breakthroughs.
Could it be that this initiation is a copy of the money pit [music] that has been diligently made? This enticing concept had the potential to establish a connection between these two ancient mysteries that had never been seen before, laying the groundwork for an adventure of epic proportions. In the process of following in the footsteps of their ancestors from Fontaca to Tamar, the crew eventually went on a trip to Portugal, which was [music] thrilling to explore deeper into these fascinating ideas. Their objective was to reach the majestic church of Fontarada which is well known for its rich history and traditions. [music] These tales which date back to the time of the Knights Templar were told in this church which was tucked away in the middle of Portugal. Imagine that you are standing in the church of Fontarada surrounded by ancient stones and superb workmanship [music] and that you are experiencing a loss of time. It was believed that the Knights Templar, a group that is well known for its valor and mysticism, had been honored with the possession of this property. During the time that the crew was investigating the mysteries that this church housed, the atmosphere was thick with history. They were confronted with a scene that sent shivers down their spines. As their eyes traveled over the mysterious [music] nooks and crannies of the chapel, patterns and symbols that were similar to those found on the mysterious Oak Island were used to decorate the surfaces. It appeared as though the reverberations of a puzzle that had been forgotten for a very long time were playing out across both time and space. The participants in the team had a discussion on the significance of these symbols. Were these hints, keys, or just random occurrences that occurred along the way? Do these enigmatic symbols have the potential to connect the dots in history, thereby establishing a connection between the Templar’s distant [music] past and the mystery of Oak Island. It became very evident that their hunt for answers was not even close to being conclusive.
[music] Simply put, it was taking them to a deeper level. Following the discovery of this fact, they arrived in Tomar, a city that was immersed in the fascinating history of the Templars. It was decided to make a pilgrimage to this historical sanctuary, a journey that would uncover even more mysteries than the one that had been revealed. There are stories of bravery and splendor that have been passed down through the ages about the Knights Templar, who were prominent characters from the past. An interest that Rick Lagginina had as a child, which he began to pursue when he was 10 years old, may be traced [music] back to the beginning of the exciting journey that the Lagginina brothers and their courageous team embarked on. When he happened to come across a large granite boulder in Kingsford by chance, it created a burning desire inside him to dig for long- lost treasures [music] that were concealed deep within. This is how everything began. This one-of-a-kind yearning, which took hold in his heart during those formative [music] years, would go on to play a significant role in defining his entire existence, blossoming into an infinite journey of boundless adventure. Consequently, they found themselves on the mysterious Oak Island as a result of fate. An additional astonishing find has been discovered, and this one provides direct and compelling evidence that Oak Island does in fact contain gold concealed somewhere within its boundaries. It would appear that a dreadful find has been made at Oak Island during the culmination of the excavation process.
The team from Oak Island has been keeping a close eye on the developments, keeping their fingers crossed for any significant breakthroughs that would bring them one step closer to the treasure [music] room or an offset vault that they have been searching for a very long time. At this point, [music] the B4 C shaft is extremely close to reaching its maximum depth, which is about 90 ft.
The distance between [music] it and the Borehal Sea is only around 5 ft to the north. The remarkable presence of Dan Blankenship, a seasoned explorer whose name had become famously associated with exploration in Nova Scotia, became a part of their mission as it expanded.
Bringing with him a wealth of experience, Blankenship, who was a living legend in his own right, added an essential dimension to their search for the truth. The mysteries of the island were gradually revealed by Blankenship and his son, [music] who became as important participants in their trip. A genuine sense of intricacy and excitement was added to the voyage as a result of their discovery of elaborately constructed booby [music] traps that were cleverly buried beneath the depths of the money pit and enigmatic stones at the intriguing Smith’s Cove. However, throughout their journey, they encountered a number of challenges.
Subscribe to the channel if you are liking it so far. There were many obstacles that stood in their path. The most notable of which was the continual intrusion of water into their excavation site. There were also a range of other problems that stood in their way. The tenacious spirit of the crew, on the other hand, remained exactly the same throughout the entire process. During the procedure, one of their own, Craig Tester, came up with a system that essentially stopped the waves from coming in. This was a big step ahead in the process. They were given a new lease on life as a result of the application of this novel strategy which allowed them to make progress.
