The Curse of Oak Island: ANCIENT TUNNEL UNEARTHED at Lot 21 (Part 2) (Season 7) | History

Wait, stop. What’s that?
That’s an interesting, strange feature, isn’t it?
On lot 25, right next to the site of the ball foundation, the Laginas, members of their team, and underground camera operator Derek Hale are exploring what appears to be a man-made stone tunnel.

So it looks like wood, but I’m pretty sure it’s rock.
Yeah, well, I need to guide that.
Yeah, so if you can get that to go under this rock here, we might get some headway.
Tell me when to stop.

There we go. There’s not much room under that rock.
Not a whole lot. Did you just bring it back real slowly and have a look at what it is?
We see in this first salutely, and they just take it real slow.
Yeah, that’s a nice flat ceiling we’re looking at there.
Beautiful. Yeah.

It’s the floor which has suffered.
Yeah. Derek, how far do you think you’ve gone?
Well, our screen is saying 14 and a half feet. Should get the 24 X cube go.
We’re getting jams right now. You’re stuck right there?
Yeah, it’s the height that’s getting you.
Yeah.

Can you try from the other end?
Because if it’s against rock, you might push it out this way.
What on earth is up with this tunnel from the ball foundation?
It’s pretty extensive, if it is.
Very intricate workings to hide a very significant treasure?
That could be it. That could be the whole thing.

We’re gonna need to get under that obstruction.
Why don’t we send the camera and see what we’re hitting?
Yeah, it’s gonna be dark in a second.
Alright, look and see if we can make any headway.
Look for if there’s a dead end and what the dead end is and if it goes off to one side or the other.

Okay, I’m seeing a lot of dirt.
Okay, hold up. Wait, stop. Is it a rock?
There is their problem.
Oh, here’s the culprit right here: a rock.

A bigger look at that. It’s all in there.
Yeah, I don’t know if we’re getting by that.
Yeah, it’s kind of a dead end.
Yeah, although the camera is now unable to advance because of a large stone blocking its path, it begs the question:
Was it placed there by nature or by someone on purpose in order to keep something inside of it from being discovered?

What’s it feel like, Dirk?
I can feel that it doesn’t have a whole lot of resistance to it.
Do you think that continues?
I’m confident that this continues because that’s disturbed soil.
Cause otherwise, I don’t think it would go in that easily.
That’s something in and of itself.

Look, it’s a complete mystery what this is, but it can’t be a tunnel, DeNooyer.
It just can’t be that.
Just can’t be. Nobody would do that, right?
Maybe we hand excavate and then hand it to the bottom.
Yeah, we keep on following it.

There’s no doubt about this; this is a man-made something.
Some sort of tunnel, channel, something.
What was hidden there? What might still be there?
There are many reasons to continue this work.
If there was a treasure recovered by a Samuel Ball, maybe it still survives him and it’s somewhere around that foundation.

Well, in any event, I mean, we can let that all kick around in her brain.
So I think we’re done here for today.
Sounds good to me.

Alrighty. Okay.
Cue: Welcome to Oak Island.
Yeah, typical Oak Island, you know?
I mean, it never goes easily.
