The Curse of Oak Island: Giant Iron Ring Bolt Linked to a Mysterious Ship (Season 8) | History

it’s gonna be really soupy but we’ll
soon see

along the eastern border of the swamp
gary drayton
and david fernetti continue scouring the
area near the stone pathway
for more important clues and hopefully
items of value

we have got a signal emote
it’s an iron signal
just here mate i’ll get to the higher
ground okay

it’s a great area to find something
think about it we’ve got all these old
boulders
see that yep

what the heck rick
check this out i guess they don’t have
to ask what you found
no i mean this is a really old piece of
iron rick
yeah and huge yeah that does look broken
i mean it’s bent in two directions right
let’s have a look oh it’s broken all
right

if you could imagine you complete the
circle it would have gone
today that’s what it looks like to me
some kind of ring ring bowl
ring bowl a possible

ring bolt could it be connected to the
others the team has found this year
along the stone pathway ring bolts
that dated back to as early as the 17th
century
and offered evidence of cargo being
offloaded from a ship
and onto oak island

i mean this has been under some stress i
mean was it in a boulder
i don’t know what to make of it well
look we’re we’re speculating a lot about
what this might be
david why don’t you take that dr taylor
yeah yeah and have him take a look at it
yeah sounds good that’s fantastic that
is

it’s an inch and a quarter solid steel
bar that took some force to bend that
but why why why i have no idea
but that’s why we try to apply science
to it
and we also have people to take a look
at it
and try to give us a greater
understanding as to
its purpose hey hey dave hi

what’s got there we found something in
the swamp
wow that is very heavy
that’s cool so what are what are your
initial thoughts
what i first noticed is how black your
hands are yeah and that’s not from swamp
that’s charcoal and this thing has seen
intense burning

oh it’s been burned yeah very badly
burned
so much so that it’s still adhering to
the iron
so i think it was part of a wooden
structure maybe something to do with
some
large timbers on a ship that’s good

the iron object severely burned
and potentially related to the wooden
timbers of a sailing ship
could it be related to the possible
piece of ship’s railing
that the team found three days ago near
the southern border of the swamp
and possibly the massive ship-shaped
anomaly
the team identified with seismic
scanning two years ago

all right well we’ll go take this to the
research center i’ll come with you
actually
thanks for showing that to us yeah you
bet that’s great
you
