The Curse of Oak Island: NOLAN’S CROSS LEADS TO TREASURE (Part 2) (Season 4) | History

OK, gentlemen.
We’re going to go down here, and we’re going to look at the bottom of the cross, if you will, if it was standing upright.
And it’s a cone shaped granite boulder, possibly upwards to five tons in size.
And just take a look at it, and give us your impression.
This is it right here.
Again, they’re all– they’re all granite, the five stones, and they’re all shaped like this.
The question is, did they find a stone close to what they need, or maybe just do some little bit of–
Tweaking.
Right. Exactly.
Or was this actually manipulated?
I’ve never seen anything quite like this.

NARRATOR: Near the middle of Oak Island, on property belonging to the family of Fred Nolan, local stonemasons Mark Fougere and Mike Welling may have just found an important clue on the bottom boulder of the megalithic formation known as Nolan’s Cross.

That surface is unusually smooth here.
And it would take a lot of dragging to get a surface that smooth.
Really?
What does that, what does that tell you?
Maybe it was in transport.
Yeah.
Something’s happened to that surface of the stone.
The granite is rough, the whole stone.
And yet at the bottom, it was smooth.
These stones have been drug for a long distance and positioned in this particular place.
I mean, that’s an aha moment.
I did not know this about this stone, though.
It’s not natural.
But as to when it was done is anybody’s guess.
If you drug a stone like that down a gravel path, you’d almost get a finish like that if you went long enough.
That’s interesting.
That’s very interesting.
I’m just thinking, how do you maneuver such a large stone?
If that is possibly the result of transport, as you indicate, they had to have a way to move this thing.
It’s almost a footprint if you were to drag it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I’m glad you found it.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Oak Island is 1,000 piece puzzle with 500 pieces missing.
And you just added one.
Yeah.
And we thank you for that.
Thank you for asking us.
Happy to help.
Thank you.
Happy to help.

OK. Let’s– on to more puzzles.
Yeah.
Yeah.
