The Curse of Oak Island: BRILLIANT DISCOVERY at Lot 13 (Season 8) | History

Here we are, mate. Metal detection expert Gary Drayton and Rick and Marty’s nephew Peter Fernetti are searching an area that Rick, Marty, and Craig recently cleared of trees and heavy foliage.

It was also near this area that three weeks ago Oak Island theorists Chris Morford and Corian Maul presented their belief that priceless religious artifacts connected to the Knights Templar could possibly be buried.

And we’re going to find something today. Let’s go!

Okay, mate. Peter and I are going to be doing a lot of digging because the stuff that I’ve brought this year is going to be detecting targets really deep, and this is an area I’ve never been able to get into because it’s always been so overgrown.

All right, so you’re ready for some digging tonight? Here we go. Let’s start panning. Oh, look at that! Looks like some kind of lynch pin.

Isn’t that similar to what Carmen thought was a decorative piece?

Yeah, that is. It’s very similar.

I’m not gonna mess with this. I’ll let the guys clean it off and see if it is similar to that other piece.

Yeah, I think you should call your uncle, mate, and get Rick to come down and show him what we’ve found in the area.

I’ll give them a call.

We’ve just pulled up a really nice little artifact, and it makes me believe that there was some hauling going on of cargo.

Hey, guys.

Hey, all right, Mike. I thought they might enjoy seeing your finds.

Yeah, the interesting thing about these finds is they’re very similar to the finds that we recovered on Lot 15. And we know the date and the nationality we got back on those artifacts – British and old. And I’m not talking about me!

We have found some cool effects. Do you see that one there? What does that remind you of, what we found on Lot 15?

Yeah, that’s that thing you referred to as a…

Yeah, I thought it was like an ox knob off a harness, but it turned out to be an old finial.

It looks like an enormous key.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Rusted kit.

Yeah, it kind of looks like a key, doesn’t it?

Those three ox shoes and that finial were all found within like a 15-foot radius.

Oh, really?

And they all seem to be leading from the beach towards… you know where.

But look at that. Look at the width! They’re all British ox shoes, and we know we got the dates back, mate. They could go back, you know, early 1700s, even in the 1600s.

That’s bloody brilliant.

And so we replicated a success on Lot 15 down there, and just the place we need to opposite that old wharf.

Great finds.

Absolutely.

No, thanks, my friend.

All right, well, good luck.

Okay.

All right, thanks. Happy hunting!

All right, see you guys.
