The Curse of Oak Island: METALS REVEALED by Swamp Scan (Season 2) | History

It is winter on Oak Island, a time when
the island is determined to keep its
secrets hidden beneath layers of ice and
snow. Feast your eyes on that lovely over
where you have land like that. We can get
in there with CTX 3030, right up
along the bank. I think it’d be well worth
going out, looking at Kellyco.
Representative Dave Spencer has come to
Oak Island from Florida with the latest
in metal detecting equipment. “I like the
look of that Ridge; that’s a great
vantage point. But are we looking forward
to metal detecting in there?” “Good, sure.”
And with him are fellow treasure hunters
Gary Drayton and the father-and-son team
Bob and Robert Leonard. Well, they’re
putting the coil together. We’ll go out
and start marking these grids by
gritting and scanning the frozen swamp.
The team hopes they will get more
precise data than they collected last
summer. Trying to scan through layers of
mud while walking on slippery plywood
had made the task nearly impossible. Once
the data is collected, it can be analyzed
in a three-dimensional map. If all goes
well, the map should indicate exactly
where items of interest and possibly
treasure could lie hidden. “I want to get
four people in the corner and lift this
thing up. Need to do the ground
balancing on that.”

Although the team is using the DeepMax X6,
the same high-tech metal detector they
used last summer, Kellyco’s Dave Spencer
has now equipped it with a larger frame coil
and mounted it to a sled. As the team pulls
the coil along the ice, it sends a powerful
magnetic pulse into the earth, enabling it
to find metal objects up to 40 feet deep
underground. “Get me some data.”

Look, there are those who believe what lies
deep beneath the Oak Island surface may not
be just one treasure but several.
“Big brothers, relentless over there.
There he is, no hat, no gloves. It’s freezing
cold out here, but he’s intense, and I think
that’s a good thing.” “That’s as high as
it’s gotten so far. Just keeps climbing.
Big spike here. Big spike. Still spiking.
What’s going on?”

“In B for yourself. It went up over 90,
and these graphs in here, if it’s like a
60% of the potential graph, you’re in
maybe a ferrous material. And if it goes
beyond 60, up to 80-90, you’re in
highly conductive metals — gold, silver.”

Finally, the team has found signs of
something buried beneath the ice. But
what? Gold? Silver? Precious historical
artifacts?

Rick was over the moon because he’s
getting big numbers out there in a swamp,
which is what we were hoping for. But I’m
not sure that means anything. Toads
process through the computer. “I’m excited,
but I am cautious about getting too excited.
It confirms everything I believed last year,
that that data was good, and this data
confirms it.”

“I’m happy as I can be. Let’s go back and
run it. We’ll find out where we stand,
and then we dig. And we dig.”
