The Curse of Oak Island: GROUNDBREAKING STONE TOOLS UNCOVERED (Season 8) | History

so here’s what we found holy cow
near the eastern edge of the swamp rick
laguna
along with geoscientist dr ian spooner
and members of the team
are focusing their investigation on the
stone road and pathway
looking for any more evidence of a ship
or other clues
that could help solve the oak island
mystery
let’s see how far these stones go that
way
yep they’ll grab a detector
you have to have context for these
anomalous features
i.e the possibility of making artifact
fines
certainly are near the shore so we’re
going to investigate it and hopefully
come up with some answers
that’s a good depth there billy okay
oh look at that so we’re getting more
cribbing something’s going on here yeah
oh wow
rick check this out
what have you got gary that’s unusual
came out that last bucket it’s one piece
of wood
yeah that is strange it’s perfectly
square
yeah oh it was made that way but a look
of it
aaron
[Music]
check this out hey guys what do you got
we’re hoping you can tell us
oh god wow it’s got to be a tool
yeah i was going to say like something
for architectural
or yeah a little carpenter’s square yeah
a possible carpenter’s square found near
the stone pathway on the eastern border
of the swamp
could it be an important clue like the
wooden survey stakes
and wood pieces dating back as far as
the 15th century
that might be connected to the features
construction
and if so might it also help identify
just who built it interesting thing
about something like that
you can actually date them it’s wood
yeah so this is probably
more important than we think i will put
this away
a good find yeah thank you thanks guys
while rick
and members of the team continue their
investigation in the swamp
later that afternoon hey guys hey mike
thanks for coming down this is the iron
well that is cool after learning of the
discovery of the possible carpenter
square
marty laguna meets with oak island
historian doug kroll
and gary drayton in the research center
to inspect the potentially
important glue first i thought it was
metal because of the shape of it
that is actually kind of exquisite isn’t
it it’s one piece
this is not joined to this what do you
think it is
i’ve looked through shipwright tools
look through old carpenter tools
it came up as a stonemason’s tool that’s
what it most closely resemble
well obviously it’s uses for right
angles isn’t it i mean
that is really cool this so-called
mason’s tool
it’s nicely crafted which seems to have
sort of masonic connections and more to
the point creates angles that are very
useful
in a practical sense 30 degree angle 60
degree angles 90 degree angles those are
very useful in building and laying out
things
so i want to get a date on it and i want
to find out what its use is
both those things are very interesting
to me it’s amazing now it’s well
preserved like that because of the swamp
that’s a pretty cool find gary
i’m going to say two things one which
i’ve been saying a lot lately
let’s put it in the line for carbon
dating okay oh yeah
and what’s the second thing i always say
that was nice but go out and find some
more that’s right sorry gary
i hate to be so predictable all right
guys i’ll let you carry on
see ya see you see you marty
you
