Rick Lagina: “The Treasure Has Been Found In Season 12”

Is this piece of black glass found near The Stone Road part of an ancient container, and if so, will it be an important clue to help verify when the road was constructed?

Yeah, we’ve had a load here when the team encountered an anomaly in The Money Pit area. They shifted their full attention there, suspecting a connection to the legendary treasure sought for over two centuries. They soon unearthed a deep underground tunnel, fueling beliefs that they were on the brink of a monumental discovery.

Devoted viewers of The Curse of Oak Island understand the painstaking efforts and setbacks faced in pursuit of the elusive treasure hidden on this enigmatic island. Could this be the moment they unearth something that rewrites history? Join us to discover the shocking new season that caught fans off guard—the discovery of The Money Pit tunnel.

The Lagina brothers have brought new life to the search using modern technology and advanced methods to explore the island’s secrets. Over time, their team has expanded to include experts like Gary Drayton, a specialist in metal detection, Terry Mat, a geologist, and Lar Nien, an archaeologist.

Their search is not just about finding treasure but also about uncovering historical artifacts that might change what we know about North American history. Some of the most exciting discoveries so far include old Spanish coins, military buttons, and objects that might be connected to important historical figures or ancient civilizations.

These finds suggest that the mystery of Oak Island involves different periods and cultures, but the search isn’t easy. The team often faces rough weather and must deal with the so-called curse of the island, which is believed to bring bad luck to those who seek its treasure. But these difficulties are just part of what keeps people interested in Oak Island.

The mix of possible great discoveries and the romantic idea of solving a mystery that’s been around for centuries keeps the story alive. The show captures the excitement of finding something new while also playing on the eerie idea of a legendary curse, making it stand out as a unique adventure and mystery show on television.

If the brothers are right, they might soon solve one of the oldest mysteries in treasure hunting. Success would mean not just finding the treasure, but also proving that all the years of hard work, money, and emotional investment were worth it. It would also honor the memory of the many treasure hunters who spent their lives trying to uncover the secrets of Oak Island.

The impact of such a find could be huge, offering not only a valuable historical discovery but also unlocking a story that has fascinated people for over 200 years.

But this wasn’t the toughest part yet. The brothers knew that every step closer to the treasure meant facing even greater challenges. The team’s excitement grew as they looked forward to possibly uncovering an underground wooden structure. This discovery could offer new clues about Oak Island’s mysterious past.

However, as they continued digging, they realized that this site was much tougher to excavate than other spots on the island. Despite the challenges, the crew began planning how to expand the garden shaft to connect with a nearby tunnel. The historical importance of this tunnel made the team even more eager to push forward.

Lar Nien, an archaeologist working with the team, was especially excited about the chance to get closer to uncovering the island’s hidden history. To make this connection, the team focused on extending the shaft, which they believed would give them access to the mysterious tunnel.

The memory of previous finds in a nearby borehole, like old parchments, leather book bindings, and a strange object marked with the number six, kept their hopes high for more discoveries. Marty and his brother were sure that widening the shaft would lead to important archaeological discoveries.

As they dug deeper, their focus on expanding the mine changed completely when they found signs of what might be a treasure chest. At first, they thought it was made from old wood, which caught their interest. But things took an unexpected turn when they expanded borehole H8 and found a huge object buried deep underground.

This massive discovery, about 170 feet tall, left them both surprised and puzzled. The object’s size and mysterious nature sparked endless questions and curiosity among the team. As the brothers thought about where this enormous object came from and what it might hold, more questions came up. Was it a natural part of the earth, or was it something with historical importance?

The possible impact of this discovery was huge, making their excavation even more important and capturing the attention of everyone involved. This could not only change their current expedition but also possibly reveal a hidden piece of history.

This wasn’t the first time they had faced such a situation. It reminded them of a theory by Terry Mat, who believed that the vault or chest they were searching for might have already been damaged or tampered with long ago. Sometime ago, someone had tried to reach the site, but their efforts didn’t go very far.

The idea of what might be hidden there sparked curiosity. But what really grabbed the team’s attention were the scans. These scans hinted that the region might hold the treasures that so many had been searching for on the island over the past 200 years.

The team was eager to explore a possible underground vault, hoping it would allow them to thoroughly examine and dig into the site with the potential treasure within reach. The adventure on Oak Island is far from over.

As they moved forward, the team realized they needed to handle the transfer of materials from the HH shaft with extra caution. They were driven by a strong belief that the vault could be close by. This discovery excited them even more. With these new clues in hand, they felt more determined than ever to continue their search for the legendary treasure believed to be hidden on the island.

This fresh wave of enthusiasm gave them new energy to keep pushing toward uncovering the true story behind this treasure hunt. Their determination took them back to the southeastern wetlands of the island, near the original spot called The Money Pit.

Excited about what they might find, the team quickly started digging near a bog close to an old stone pathway. The importance of this site and its possible link to the island’s legends made them think carefully about the stone path nearby, which had once been a busy place for local workers.

The team walked into the marsh with a clear goal, eager to find the hidden treasure said to be buried in the muddy ground. Armed with shovels and metal detectors, they carefully scanned the area, their boots sinking into the soft, wet earth with every step.

As the hours passed, the hope of discovering something valuable kept them going, even as they started to feel tired from the hard work. The marsh was a vast area filled with reeds and shallow waters, holding stories from long ago. Local tales spoke of ancient people who once lived there, leaving behind objects now buried under layers of mud and plants.

The team knew that even if they didn’t find the legendary treasure, the chance to uncover historical artifacts was just as exciting. Each time they dug into the ground or swept their detectors over the soil, they felt they were getting closer to finding something important.

They found small clues about the marsh’s history—pieces of pottery, old coins, and fragments of tools used by ancient people. Every discovery was carefully recorded, helping to build a picture of the past.

As the sun began to set, casting long shadows over the wet ground, the team felt both tired and excited. They had explored deep into the marsh, driven by their desire to uncover its secrets. Although the legendary treasure remained hidden, the day was still a success. The artifacts they found provided a real connection to the past—each one a valuable piece of human history.

But this wasn’t the end of their journey. The team knew that the marsh still had more stories to tell, and they were determined to return.

As the digging went on, Gary Drayton took full advantage of the opportunity before them. He and some team members wondered if the stone pathway might have also been used as a way for ships coming to the island. Not only was this pathway believed to be connected to the Knights Templar, but it was also thought to have been part of the island’s old cargo operations.

People like Alex Lagina were amazed by the many stories of Oak Island’s fascinating history. The historical value of this old pathway surprised him. Eager to learn more, the team threw themselves back into their work with renewed energy.

As Gary carefully continued his search, the rest of the group explored the possibility of uncovering even more about the island’s past through this ancient stone route. The team uncovered more clues that could help them piece together the history behind the Stone Road.

This discovery also allowed them to assess the value of any artifacts they might come across during their exploration. As they eagerly searched the area for treasure, Rick Lagina was particularly drawn to the activity near the bog, thinking it could be a key part of this long-standing treasure hunt.

Despite the excitement of the search, the team remained cautious, fully aware of the many obstacles they faced. But as they continued, they began to see the swamp’s historical importance in their legendary quest.

Gary Drayton’s find in the swamp likely boosted their confidence that they were on the right track to discovering the treasure. During their exploration, they came across a strange boulder near The Stone Road that seemed to have been placed there on purpose.

This find sparked hope that they were getting closer to solving a mystery that had puzzled many for over two centuries. As they studied these interesting clues and their unusual arrangement, Rick’s curiosity about the boulder’s significance only grew stronger.

Billy Gart then led them to a series of rocks he had found, which intriguingly led right to the boulder. Jack Begley couldn’t help but wonder about the historical events that might have taken place here, given the rocks’ location near The Stone Path and the original Money Pit.

While Jack searched for answers, Billy highlighted the vast potential this site had for uncovering hidden treasures. The team wasn’t surprised when Rick showed a strong interest in continuing the excavation.

After talking with him, the alignment of the stones and the large boulder they had found made Rick curious about the role this rock might play in their broader mission. Looking back, Gary Drayton likely found these moments particularly thrilling, driven by the desire to find the treasure for both himself and the team.

With the site’s closeness to both The Stone Road and The Money Pit, the entire team felt the immense possibilities this area might offer, possibly influenced by the careful placement of the rock. As a result, Rick stressed the need to thoroughly investigate this location.

But this wasn’t the most surprising part. There were more twists to come. Gary and the team were excited about their latest discovery, but he couldn’t shake a feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

They had uncovered a wooden artifact buried just 2 feet under the soil. After carefully examining the timber, he noticed that it had a unique shape and density. This made him think it might be a piece of a ship’s deck.

The fact that it was entirely made of wood explained why their metal detectors hadn’t picked it up before. As the day closed, their spirits remained high, eager to return and dig deeper into the island’s enigmatic history, exploring the mysterious foundations and artifacts of Oak Island.

Hoping to link this piece of wood to a shipwreck, the team decided to dig deeper, both literally and figuratively, to learn more about where it came from. At the same time, Marty couldn’t help but think about all the hard work the team had put into searching the swamp.

Even though they often found small, insignificant objects, he still held out hope that these efforts would soon lead to something much more significant. The team began to wonder how well metal objects might hold up in the swamp’s harsh environment.

Rick gave them clear instructions to explore this question further. Meanwhile, Jack Begley faced some tough challenges while investigating the presence of metal in The Money Pit area, particularly in Lot 5, where the team was focusing much of their search efforts.

But these challenges were only the beginning. Elsewhere on the island, other team members were making progress in different areas. An archaeology team uncovered an unusual stone foundation beneath a circular depression they had found earlier in the year.

This excavation revealed stone structures that didn’t fit with what they had previously expected to find. Jamie Kuba, one of the archaeologists, shared new information about these stone structures, shifting their attention to artifacts found 161 feet below the surface.

These discoveries gave them new insights into the island’s history and the people who had lived there over the centuries. Among their findings were a lead trade token, likely from the 14th century, and Venetian glass beads dating back to the 1500s to mid-1600s.

They also found metal tools that might have belonged to Sir William Phips, adding more layers to the island’s rich and mysterious history. But even with these discoveries, the team knew there were still more secrets to uncover.

Jamie Kuba wanted to make sure everyone on the team understood what the group’s main focus was. She was getting ready to share the key points of their meeting.

Even though this was her job, the team was buzzing with excitement. They were thrilled to hear that their mission would involve searching for important clues that might connect their current location to a legendary treasure rumored to be hidden on the island.

The thought of finding such a treasure was exhilarating. Jack suggested that certain moments in history might have left traces they could now find. These clues, like pieces of brick, ceramic, and glass scattered across the site, could hint at early habitation on Lot 5.

While these findings made their exploration more complicated, they might also provide insights into how these artifacts connect to the famous Money Pit. Maybe, just maybe, these clues could lead them to the treasure that people have been searching for nearly 230 years.

Jamie Kuba and her team were eager to dig deeper and find more information to help them in their quest. Jack, excited about the possibilities, made sure the whole team was involved in these new discoveries.

Their confidence grew as they felt they were making quick progress, but it was clear that any big breakthrough would need everyone’s combined effort and teamwork.

As they continued, the team noticed something strange about their surroundings. The soil seemed dense, suggesting the presence of mortar, which strengthened their belief that they were on the right path to finding the hidden treasure.

Lar Nien was scheduled to meet the group at a newly uncovered stone foundation on the island’s western shore. When they arrived at this coastal spot on Lot 5, they felt they were on the brink of another big discovery.

Meanwhile, Kuba examined a grayish material they had just dug up. It looked like crude mortar or maybe cement—similar to what they had found before in The Money Pit area.

This wasn’t surprising. Jack remembered a similar discovery near H8 in 2019. Given their history of finding various concrete materials near The Money Pit, this continued pattern of discoveries made sense and reminded the team of their experience in this kind of exploration.

But the real challenge was still ahead. Given the circumstances, Lar thought it would be a good idea to talk to Emma, the team’s metal expert. He hoped she could help compare the recently discovered artifact with the one they found earlier at The Money Pit.

By doing this, they might be able to figure out where it came from. Jamie, eager to solve the mystery, was even willing to share a piece of the artifact with her.

Although Lar had some worries about the difficulties they might face in understanding these complexities, he also knew there could be challenges ahead, especially when trying to extract a soil sample for analysis and comparison to answer their ongoing questions.

If everything worked out perfectly, Lar hoped they could learn something new from whatever they uncovered next. For now, the team had to make the most of the resources they had, clinging to the hope that their efforts would eventually lead them to the legendary treasure said to be hidden on the mysterious island.

But this wasn’t the biggest challenge. The team had recently found a strange object that shifted their focus back to the original Money Pit. Along with this, they uncovered a deep underground tunnel, which they believed could lead to the long-sought treasure.

One insider from Oak Island is now convinced that after two centuries of searching, the treasure might finally be within reach. What do you think?
