The Curse of Oak Island: DIG DISCOVERY POINTS TO MONEY PIT (Season 7) | History

Craig Tester joins Alex Lagina, Steve
Capital Charles Barkhouse, and geologist
Terry Matheson at the Money Pit site
where the drilling operation to locate
Shaft 2 is well underway. We do know
relatively speaking the positions of the
various shafts via the Money Pit. We
need these interlocking pieces. Nine goes
to two to the X marks the spot.
We use that as stepping stones to get to
where we really want to go, and that is
where is the original Money Pit. Look at
all the wood. It’s really great. Wow, okay,
wow, oh that’s a shaft. Alright, wow, did we
ever catch the edge of something
beautifully stacked timbers there. Yeah,
we are in the shaft, there’s no question
about that.
This is definitely not a tunnel. For one
thing, it’s too close to the surface. If
you’re gonna do a tunnel, you’re gonna do
it much deeper in the ground. So we’re
definitely in a shaft, there’s no
question about that. Yeah, that’s good
news.
But you go through periods where you
just don’t have any luck on the island,
and so when you start hitting a shaft
and hitting it right away,
when you have more work to do, but at
least we know where it’s at. And if this
is Shaft 2, we know that we’re finally
honing in on where that money could
actually be.
Hey guys, hey, what do you
got here? I heard news. Yes, good news.
Right, Rick, jump in here. So we’re
definitely on the edge of it. Should bear
on a shaft. This is the edge of it. You
just cut the edge of it right now as
you’re running down. We’re definitely
going down at wall. Yeah, okay. We just don’t
know which wall at this point. The
question is do we keep taking this down
or do we move over to the center of the
shaft and go down from there?
Okay, well here’s the thing, it’s an easy call,
keep drilling. Yeah, okay, keep drilling until you
run out of wall and then a decision
has to be made—north, south, east, west.
But we should punch it all.
Now that the team has possibly found one wall of Shaft 2, they
will drill several more adjacent holes
in an effort to not only confirm the
discovery but also orient them to the
other three walls of the square
structure. This will tell them exactly
which direction the original Money Pit
was known to be located, some fourteen
feet away. If this is the shaft, that’s
greatness, but we can’t prove it yet. Am I
hopeful? Yes. Do I want it to be there? Yes.
But you have to have more proof.
It’s all exciting. I mean, this is a huge
win. Keep drilling.
