Rick Lagina Just Found a $110M Pirate Treasure Under Oak Island!

Guys, what is this, son? You’re not going to believe this. Oh, no way. Wow. Is that a diamond? On Oak Island, people have always said, “Man, the real treasure hasn’t been found yet.” But what happened today could literally change the history books.

By evening, sensors at the very pit where Rick Lagginina began digging in the morning detected such a high metallic density that Marty and the entire crew froze to death. A 7.86 86 density reading, a 14 ft depth, and a strange cold metallic echo. None of this signaled normal metal. And when the bucket first glowed from the bottom, my goodness, the entire sight stopped.

What appeared before the crew’s eyes looked like a scene straight out of a movie. Pure gold coins, carved pirate emblems, and a heavy iron chest with old Spanish markings on its edges. Experts first estimate came as high as 110 million. This is the same place where the mystery first began in 1795. And today, beneath that very spot, Rick discovered the object that had been obsessing people for 200 years.

But the biggest twist is that high signals are still coming from below the chest. Meaning the real treasure has probably not been uncovered yet. Rick himself was saying, “If this is just the first chest, then what is hidden below?” Hearing this line, the entire crew literally got scared because the possibility of the second chamber below has been 90% confirmed.

And brother, if you are watching this video without subscribing, then you are genuinely doing a loss. If you miss the next twist, the entire story will remain incomplete. Subscribe because Rick’s next step is going to change the entire story of Oak Island.

The morning on Oak Island seemed perfectly normal, but as soon as the team turned on the GPR machine, a strange distortion appeared on the screen. Normally, the readings are clear, but today every scan was blurry, as if a large object underground was disturbing the signal.

Rick asked the technicians to run the scan again, and this time, the outline became a little clearer. A perfect rectangle-like shape sat 14 ft below. The crew’s eyes were fixed as such a shape is almost impossible in a natural rock formation.

Marty initially joked, “Maybe an old storage box,” but as soon as the size was calculated, everyone’s faces changed. According to the reading, the object was approximately 7 to 8 ft long and 3 ft wide. A chest or crate this large could only be two things: either a pirate storage box from an old ship or the ceiling block of a hidden tunnel.

Scans confirmed that the object was metallic as the pulse descended and returned a sharp metallic echo, something ordinary soil or wood cannot produce. The biggest shock came when the GPR operator retrieved old archival maps and superimposed the current readings on them. Some maps from the 1700s had vague references to a secret pirate tunnel around this very spot.

At that time, people believe that some Spanish pirates temporarily hid their gold on Oak Island and then returned to retrieve it, but many never returned. Today’s readings revived that theory. The crew was also mildly nervous as the ground density around the rectangular outline appeared to be mixed in different patterns, indicating some artificial construction.

Rick said softly, “If this is really part of a tunnel, then there wouldn’t be just a chest underneath.” Marty replied, “Or maybe the chest itself was placed to seal the tunnel.” Both possibilities were dangerous and exciting.

The depth is only 14 ft, meaning excavation wouldn’t be too difficult, but the biggest fear was what lay inside. The loud metallic echo suggested the object might be hollow, like the door to a sealed vault. The camera crew zoomed in on the spot and everyone sensed an ancient story about to unfold underground. A signal with such clarity is very rare on Oak Island and today’s readings made it clear something very large, very old, and perhaps extremely valuable was buried beneath.

Once the rectangular outline was confirmed, the team wasted no time in drilling. The first few inches penetrated the soil and moist clay, but at about 12 ft, the drill suddenly stuck. The operator applied force reverse the machine, but the drill bit wouldn’t budge. At that very moment, a sharp metallic clang sound echoed throughout the pit.

The sound was so clear, so solid, and so unnatural that two workers standing nearby recoiled. Rick immediately had the machine shut down because such sounds have historically only occurred on Oak Island when there’s a chest, vault, or some kind of sealed metallic object underneath.

Fear and excitement were evident on the crew’s faces. The operator’s hands were literally shaking. He said, “Sir, this isn’t any ordinary rock. There’s something big metallic underneath.” Marty also bent down and listened to the area. The sound still resonated faintly within the soil, like the sound of a hollow metal box being struck.

Rick took a deep breath and said, “Guys, we hit something. Something real.” Hearing this, the camera crew rushed over and every lens zoomed in on the exact spot. The site suddenly fell into dead silence as everyone sensed that Oak Island was about to reveal its true secrets for the first time in 200 years.

The drill was manually pulled up and the pit was cleared of soil. As the bucket was lowered, a strange nervous energy permeated the atmosphere. Each time the bucket descended, it would come up filled with debris, and the team would carefully sift through it.

But then a moment came that literally froze the entire crew. The bucket came up and in one corner a faint gold sheen shone through the soil. A young worker was the first to notice it. He said in a shaky voice, “Sir, are you looking at this?”

Rick moved closer and cleared the corner. And as the soil was removed, a bright flash of pure gold dazzled everyone. For that second, the entire team stopped. No one moved. No one spoke. The camera team zoomed in reflexively because this was the moment the whole world had been waiting for years. The first real unmistakable golden glimpse of Oak Island.

Rick was almost speechless. He took the bucket in his hand and picked up the small golden piece that emerged from the bottom. It wasn’t just any random metal. It had an ancient carving pattern like the ones found on Spanish pirate coins or medallions.

As Rick held it up to the light, its glow grew brighter. Disbelief was visible in the eyes of several crew members. Marty whispered, “No way. Can this be true?” The camera crew literally raced to take closer shots. Two members of the production team nearly fell over in excitement.

Activity suddenly increased around the pit. Everyone eager to see that tiny golden glow because every historian knows if there’s gold in the first bucket, there must be something much bigger underneath.

Holding the small gold piece in his hand, Rick said, “If we’re only finding scrap level gold, then what’s inside whatever metallic object is underneath?” There was a static silence among the crew. The operators were still in shock that the drill had hit an actual chest. And this shining piece of gold was just the first sign of that massive chest or vault.

The team immediately secured the area, increased the perimeter, and began preparations for deeper excavation. But the seriousness on Rick’s face made it clear to everyone that this wasn’t just a discovery. It could become the biggest turning point in the history of the Oak Island mystery.

Because the glint of gold at first glance proved that something extraordinary lay buried beneath the ground, perhaps a centuries old pirate treasure and perhaps worth upwards of hundred million. This was just the beginning.

The metallic echo that had been found below remained untouched and the crew was getting ready to open it. Suspense was literally in the air, as if some very old, very heavy story was breathing beneath the ground.

As the pit’s edge cleared slightly, and the bucket removed more soil, a large dark iron object became visible from below. Rick and Marty both crouched down, watching, and as the crew grabbed it and pulled it up, the entire chest slowly rose to the surface.

This was no ordinary box. Heavy iron rivets along the edge, traces of tar coating on the sides, and ancient carved symbols all over the place. As the soil was removed, a clear Spanish pirate emblem was revealed on the chest front panel. Two cross sabers and a curved serpent mark below. This design is exactly like that found in Caribbean pirate logs from the 1600s.

The crew stood in literal shock. Once the chest was completely clean, Rick brushed its lock with his hand. The lock was rusted, but a light gold powder shown on its inner edges, as if the gold inside the chest had leaked out and deposited on the metal over the centuries.

After seeing this, the crew had no doubt. This chest was a massive treasure container. When they slowly began to open it, the first glimpse inside was cinematic. Densely layered gold coins, Spanish medallions, and some large carved gold discs.

As light fell on the coins, the entire chest erupted in a bright golden glow. The camera crew literally shouted, “We got gold. We got gold.” The coins carvings were absolutely perfect. Some bore the mark of Ferdinand, some the old Spanish crown seal, and some the serpent emblem repeated.

Experts say these medallions circulated heavily in the Caribbean between 1620 and 1680. Some of the coins found in the chest also had saltwater corrosion, meaning this treasure may be linked to a shipwreck.

Rick picked up a medallion. His heavy weight and purity stunned him for a second. When the on-site expert performed a quick purity test, the results were even more shocking. Most coins were between 22 and 23 karat impurity, which at today’s gold value puts the coins alone at around $35 million.

Including medallions, carved discs, and small gold bars stored in inner compartments, the first valuation was placed in the range of approximately $80 million to 110 million. Marty exclaimed in disbelief, “If this is just the number for one chest, then where would the figure go if there were more chests underneath?”

The crew was literally speechless, as such a clear and direct valuation was the first time such a mystery site like Oak Island had been found. The biggest question now arose. Where did this treasure come from?

Rick immediately pulled out his old paperwork and opened a map he had been studying for years. It was a Spanish galleon route chart from the 1600s showing some ships turning north from the Caribbean during their Atlantic crossing.

Historical data suggests that Spanish pirates often use small hidden islands to temporarily store excess loot and the sea routes around Oak Island were quite active at that time. Rick pointed to a faded marking on the map, a small arrow pointing to the exact spot where the team had found the chest today.

Rick told the crew that several historical journals documented the mysterious disappearance of a Spanish ship, the Libra A Roa. Following its mysterious disappearance, several theories arose that the ship’s gold was hidden in a safe location in the north so that the crew could later collect it.

However, the ship was destroyed in a storm, leaving the treasure stranded. Rick explained that the serpent emblem found on the chest was the same one used on the Libra Roa’s flags. This meant the treasure might not be just random loot, but part of a legendary cargo.

The crew also realized that if this chest was indeed connected to that ship, there might be several other compartments beneath Oak Island, perhaps an entire pirate storage vault. The second cavity visible in the deep scans was likely the entrance to that massive vault. Marty quietly said, “If this is true, we just opened the first chapter of the real treasure story.”

Rick replied, looking at the chest. And the real part of this story is still hidden below. This moment wasn’t just a discovery. It was the biggest puzzle piece of Oak Island history revealed centuries later.

When the first chest was unearthed, the biggest question arose. Why was it buried on a remote island like Oak Island? Rick carefully examined the soil and construction patterns around the site.

As the excavation progressed, he discovered several unnatural layers — hand-packed gravel at some levels, tightly packed clay at others, and fragments of a smooth wooden platform at the bottom. These could never have been part of an accidental natural formation.

The entire pit was an engineered design, carefully constructed, almost as if to hide something forever. Traces of narrow angled tunnels were also visible in some places below ground. These were the same flood tunnels that have been recounted on Oak Island for centuries.

Pirate engineers often created such booby trap tunnels to protect treasure. If someone dug in the wrong place, water would automatically fill in, preventing the would-be thief from reaching the treasure.

Rick picked up soil samples and said, “This construction must have been done solely to protect a great treasure. This kind of engineering couldn’t have been created by a random group.” All the crew members understood that this place was built for a specific purpose.

The question now was who built it and why? Were they Spanish pirates or did some secret organization temporarily store the treasure? Some historians theorize that many Spanish crews hid their stolen gold in temporary storage pits so they could return later and retrieve it. But when ships sank in the storms or naval battles, the treasure was hidden forever.

Oak Island was likely one of those lost storage points. Suspense grew as the ground evidence followed the same pattern. Multiple layers, water traps, wooden platforms, and deep placement of heavy metal objects.

When the chest was cleaned, its true story began to unfold. Several hidden etchings were found on the chest’s outer body. Some faded symbols, some digits, and some strange curves whose meaning was not immediately understood.

Extra thin carvings were found on the side panels, as if someone had secretly written something or hidden a secret code. Saltwater corrosion was very severe on the chest corners, which almost confirmed that the chest had arrived by sea and had been in the coastal environment for a long time.

Based on this corrosion pattern, the on-site expert estimated the chest’s age to be around 325–350 years old. Rick entered high-resolution photos of the carvings into AI software. Analyzing the symbols, lines, and metal marks, the AI revealed that the chest alloy was not entirely standard.

The metal pattern contained iron plus copper plus tin plus trace gold particles. Iron may have been used for strength, copper for durability, and tin for corrosion control. But the biggest shock came when the AI identified a rare alloy.

This composition was used in some high-value Spanish ships of the era, especially those carrying royal cargo or stolen loot. A distinctive marking was found on the chest bottom panel — a small triangle with three curved lines connected by a sliver of gold.

Rick observed this and said, “That’s the pirate guild symbol, the same one used in Caribbean operations.” The crew went silent for a second. If the guild symbol was real, it meant the treasure wasn’t just random stolen gold, but part of an organized piracy network.

This could be why it was hidden in such a carefully engineered location. A thin metal plate was also found beneath the coins inside the chest, embossed with two faint words: La Sombra, which means “The Shadow” in Spanish.

Some historians believe this was the name of one of the secret pirate groups who concealed their identities and stole significant loot from royal ships. Rick said if this chest belongs to the Shadow group, then there could be a whole vault underneath.

Ground scans also supported this possibility. A large metallic cavity had been detected beneath the first chest. The crew wondered only one thing. If the first chest is so large and valuable, what might be in the real vault below?

This part of Oak Island had now clearly become a hidden pirate storage pit whose engineering had protected the secret for centuries. When the first valuation began to surpass 100 million, a different kind of tension spread at the site.

Many people don’t know, but there’s a law in North America. If a high-value metallic discovery worth 100 million is found at a site, automated alerts are triggered by government monitoring systems. These alerts are set to prevent suspicious activity, artifact smuggling, or illegal mining.

Rick and Marty knew this rule, but they never imagined this threshold would be crossed at a remote digging spot like Oak Island. As soon as the experts confirmed the 110 million figure, Rick’s phone received an unknown encrypted ping, which further increased the tension.

About an hour later, three unmarked black SUVs suddenly stopped on Oak Island’s old parking trail. They had no number plates, no logos, just a matte black finish and dark tinted windows. As the crew watched the SUV slowly approach the site under the lights, the atmosphere instantly became uncomfortable.

The camera crew instinctively rolled their lenses, but the people emerging from the SUVs gestured to stop recording. No one spoke out loud, but their body language was enough. These people were in authority, but no one knew from which department.

Rick remained somewhat calm, but Marty was visibly nervous. Marty softly said, “Rick, I don’t like this. We might lose control.” Unmarked SUVs are usually the hallmark of federal investigation teams, and if they were to become involved in this level of discovery, the project’s rights, digging permissions, and the show’s future could all be at risk.

Two agent-like individuals approached Rick, demanded documents, and began asking indirect questions about the treasure’s classified details. The rest of the crew stood aside. No one dared to speak up.

This entire situation created a major conflict within the crew. Rick had always believed that the truth about Oak Island should be revealed to the world — every detail, every artifact, every mystery. For him, it wasn’t just gold, but a buried story linked to history.

But Marty was practical. He understood the financial risks, legal complications, and network pressure. Marty told Rick, “If these people try an official takeover, we won’t be able to do anything. We should back off a bit.”

The producers were in even worse shape. The show’s progress was directly impacted. Cameras had been shut down, licensing was being questioned, and if the government officially declared the dig site a restricted archaeological zone, all production would have to be halted.

The producer took Rick aside and said, “Rick, we have to think about the next step. If we expose that the government has reached the site, the network will panic.” Rick was emotionally charged. For him, Oak Island wasn’t just a project — a literal lifetime mission.

He said, “If we hide the truth today, even if we find the treasure, it won’t mean anything. People have been waiting for answers for decades.” Marty became furious at this. “The only way we’ll get the answers is if we can dig ourselves. If these guys take over, we’ll be left with nothing.”

The crew had split into two. Some sided with Rick, who believed the truth should be revealed no matter the risk. Others, like Marty and the producers, were cautious. They believed the cameras should be turned off and the situation stabilized.

Emotional lines even began to surface. Workers said they couldn’t risk their future. People in SUVs quietly roamed the site, inspecting chests from a distance and watching the team’s every movement.

Every second felt like a major decision was about to be made. The mystery of Oak Island wasn’t just underground anymore. A new game had begun on the surface as well. And amidst this chaos, Rick had made his final decision.

Whether Marty liked it or not, the truth of Oak Island would not be hidden. But at what cost? This suspense was floating heavy in the air.

Government pressure was mounting, but Rick activated the GPR one last time for a deeper scan. Experts scanned the entire layer beneath the chest with high-frequency pulses. For the first few seconds, the screen was blank. Then, suddenly, the outline of a bold, dark cavity appeared.

This time the outline wasn’t perfectly rectangular, but rather a large uneven structure, almost like an entire vault. The signal was so strong that even the crew standing on the other side of the machine could feel the metallic echo.

The operator said in a trembling voice, “Sir, this chest was just the upper layer. The real mass is below.” The GPR’s depth reading stunned everyone. This cavity was approximately 6 m below and five times the size of the first chest.

The machine also detected dense metallic clusters pointing to a large storage vault or multi-chamber structure. Rick stared at the screen and said just one line: “110 million could be just the beginning.”

Marty clutched his head in disbelief. Many crew members were stunned as such a clean and massive metallic cavity had never been detected on Oak Island. The scan’s color patterns confirmed that the cavity was not a natural structure, but a man-made one.

The density of its walls was completely different from the surrounding soil, meaning it was deliberately constructed, and that too using ancient engineering techniques. Three metallic clusters were found in a sequence lined up, reminiscent of a multi-lock vault structure.

Rick’s heart was literally pounding because if such a vault was centuries old, it could contain gold bars, royal artifacts, or perhaps the entire heritage treasure of a pirate guild.

Government SUVs were driving around, so Rick suddenly made a bold decision. They wouldn’t officially conduct deeper excavations during the day. With cameras on, government interference would have captured everything, leading to an immediate halt to the excavation.

So, a plan was made: secret off-camera excavation at night. Marty was initially hesitant, but after seeing the scan, he reluctantly agreed. The crew informed the camera team that night shots would be paused for technical reasons, but deep down, everyone knew the real mission would begin at night.

As darkness fell, an eerie atmosphere descended on Oak Island. Fog began to settle, the air cooled, and the machine lights were switched to dim mode to prevent anyone from afar from noticing unusual activity.

The crew slowly began excavation. No loud machines, just muffled digging, hand tools, and soft ropes. All sounds had to be kept low so that those in the SUVs wouldn’t notice the secret, deeper digging going on below.

Rick himself sat at the edge of the pit, observing every movement. Four crew members had descended and only whisper-level communication was allowed. Two torches were on low beam mode, their light reaching only 3 to 4 feet, making the darkness even more eerie.

The ground was slightly damp, and as deeper layers were removed, a strange metallic smell began to permeate the air, as if an old sealed iron structure was being exposed to fresh air for the first time.

Around midnight, the digging worker suddenly felt something hard strike the ground. The sound wasn’t that of normal stone. It was the same hollow metallic thunk found in centuries-old vaults. The worker immediately felt it with his hand. There was a surface like a smooth metal plate underneath.

Rick bent down and shone a torch light there. As the light fell on the metal, a faint curved marking became visible. The same marking found in the carvings of the first chest.

The crew went completely silent for a second. Whatever was beneath wasn’t just some random chest. It was the entire vault. The surface of the structure was cold, as if it had been sealed from the air for centuries, not decades.

Rick felt a strange sense of fear and excitement within himself. He looked at Marty and said softly, “Marty, if this vault opens, the history books will literally have to be rewritten.”

The faint sounds in the darkness, the flicker of low torches, and the first touch of the metallic vault below — all of this made the atmosphere on Oak Island absolutely cinematic. The crew knew that this secret night operation wasn’t just excavation. It was the first step in a forbidden discovery.

The same question lingered in everyone’s mind. Was this the real pirate vault that legends had spoken of for centuries? And if so, how much treasure might be hidden within?

After midnight digging, the ground suddenly felt a little hollow. The crew carefully removed the soil, and soon a perfectly shaped stone lining was revealed, so smooth and uniform that it couldn’t have been part of a natural cave.

As more soil was removed, the stone walls gradually appeared to form a complete ark, and a compact wooden beam was neatly fitted in the middle. The beam was coated with a thick layer of black tar — the same tar technique pirates of the 1600s used for waterproofing.

Rick touched it and softly said, “This is not just a pit. This is the entrance to an old vault.” Small channels appeared between the stone lining like water traps. This was the same engineering that Oak Island legends always talked about.

If someone dug in the wrong place, the entire chamber would be flooded. The crew instantly became alert as a small mistake could completely flood the site.

As the dim light of the torch fell on the stone walls, the darkness deep inside became terrifying. It seemed as if this chamber had been untouched for centuries and had now been disturbed for the first time.

The camera crew tried to capture video from a safe distance, but as the lens penetrated, the frame revealed an extremely dangerous structure. The wooden beams were cracked in several places. The tar had dried and become brittle, and some cornerstones appeared slightly bent. Any wrong movement could cause the weights above to topple.

A worker called out from below, “Sir, this is very unstable. Even a slight jolt could cause it to collapse.” Both Rick and Marty knew they would not get this opportunity again, but the risk was life-threatening.

As the crew peered deeper into the stone lining, they discovered a small rectangular cavity in the center, much like the upper chamber of storage vaults. The cavity surface was metallic, and it bore the same faded curved design found on the first chest.

The meaning was clear. This vault belonged to the same pirate group that built the first chest. Rick took a deep breath and said, “We just found their main chamber.”

The crew was completely silent. Tension was now at its peak as a second chest lay inside the cavity, appearing larger and heavier than the first. Its top was slightly tilted, perhaps slightly open due to the weight of the soil.

The crew set rope harnesses so they could dig around the chest without disturbing it. As the soil around the chest cleared, its blackened iron body was fully revealed. Tar coating, sea salt stains, and markings all matched signature pirate engineering of the 1600s.

Rick, wearing his gloves, pressed the chest’s upper edge lightly to check if it was stable. But as soon as he touched the edge, the chest’s lid suddenly opened a tiny crack. At that very moment, a sharp huff of air erupted from the chamber, almost as if centuries-old air had suddenly been released.

The pressure drop was so noticeable that the worker standing below recoiled in fear. The burst of cold air was so strange that its temperature felt different from the rest of the chamber. With that air came an unmistakable ancient smell — a mix of old iron, wet wood, and the faint metallic fragrance of sealed gold.

As the dust burst created a slight cloud in the air, the light from the torches dimmed. The entire environment became ghostly. Marty bent down and asked, “Rick, what’s inside?” But Rick just stared at the chest.

The crew stood breathlessly. No sound, no movement. No one knew what was inside the chest, but the way the air came out made it clear that this vault had been sealed for centuries.

The camera crew zoomed in and Rick’s trembling voice echoed throughout the chamber: “If the first chest holds a million, then what’s hidden beneath?” There was fear, excitement, and a tension in his voice that had probably never been seen on TV before.

The chest’s lid was still half open — pitch black darkness inside, and the faint metallic shine of an unknown mass beneath. The crew knew this wasn’t just gold. It could be a history-changing discovery.

A single thought wafted through the chamber with the cool breeze. If this vault was open, the world would change.

The vault lid was slightly open, but the metallic sheen reflected in the pitch black silence within clearly indicated that this wasn’t just a few coins, but something much larger, much rarer, and perhaps a centuries-old treasure.

Rick and Marty both stared at the open crack as if a lost story were calling to them from within. There was a strange chill in the air. The torch light had dimmed, and the crew felt that the discoveries so far were merely surface-level. The real treasure still awaited below.

Rick took one last glance inside the chamber and softly said, “This is just the beginning. The real vault is still intact.” Marty nodded as GPR readings clearly indicated that there were multiple metallic clusters beneath, meaning not just one chest, but perhaps an entire treasure room.

Cameras turned on again, and the energy of the entire excavation site shifted. Everyone knew that the next step was going to be the biggest reveal in Oak Island’s history.

The outro recording began. Rick placed his hand on the ground, took a deep breath, and said, “What we saw today has shaken all the theories of the last 200 years, and beneath lies a story that will shock the world.” The camera crew zoomed in. Dramatic music played softly in the background and the spotlight rested on the crack from which the ancient air had escaped.
