The Curse of Oak Island: THE OAK ISLAND CURSE STRIKES AGAIN (Season 8) | History

There it is, that one there has got quite a flat
surface on it. Can you set that boulder over by
Marty and I? Yep, over in the side there, yeah.
While excavating the east hill location between lots
12 and 13, Rick and Marty Laguna and members of
their team have just unearthed a massive boulder
where Oak Island theorists Corian Mull and Chris
Morford suggest significant clues might be found.
Great.

One of the things they said we might find would
be a boulder with a marking. If there’s anything on it,
I think it’d be right here, this side.
Look, it looks like a nice big X.
You see that? That’s interesting. Yeah,
it is, but I think that’s from Tom.

We need to go deeper. We need to be at sea
level to make sure we’re covering all the
ground. Can you get three more feet out of
that? Yeah, we can get a little deeper. Yep.
You got some digging to do. I’ll be
right back. I gotta make a phone call.

You know where this stuff came from, but it’s
the most easily dug soil on the entire island.
Well, you think this is all pushed down by Fred?
I think it has that feel, yeah. Looks like, yeah.
There’s no stratigraphy. Yep. After locating
what he believed to be a number of man-made
stone markers in this area more than 40 years ago,
the late Fred Nolan moved several layers of earth
using a bulldozer in an unsuccessful attempt
to uncover evidence of the Oak Island treasure.
Is it possible that Fred was
close to making a major discovery?
If Fred pushed this in, he would
have changed the whole landscape of
the northern part of the island to get this much.
Bill certainly believed he was onto something.

Just once, it would be nice though to make a
discovery and know exactly what it is. Exactly.
No gray area, no interpretation.
This is what it is, yeah.

The color’s starting to change down there again
to a grayish-black. That’s what we want to see.
Yeah, we want to see something that’s not
pushed in. Right. That sounds like a big rock.
There we go. Well, there’s a rock.
It’s a big rock there. Another even larger
boulder could have been placed there,
perhaps to cover something
of great importance and value.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, is that the right hydraulic? Yep.
I was wondering what I was getting sprayed with.
I think it’s the fitting. It’s
coming round and dripping here.
Yeah, it is through there. It’s coming. It’s right in
there. I think we’re done. Yep, because a hydraulic
hose has completely ruptured on Tom Nolan’s
backhoe. It can no longer be operated to finish
excavating the site, at least for now. Unfortunately,
the team will have to wait until it is repaired
before they can fully unearth the massive
boulder to examine it for clues and also see
what, if anything, lies beneath it.

Oh God, it throws you a curveball, isn’t that typical?
You know, the interesting take on that was
we’re at the point of interest, we hit a
large stone, the hose breaks. I think it’s just
bad luck, you know, a bad time, but it’s weird.
Well, it’s unfortunate, but we’ll carry on, right?
Mm-hmm. Plus, there’s a big rush on there now. We’re
on top, always the time, always a time. Good job, Tom.
No problem. Let’s see about getting this fixed. Yeah.
Okay, typical Oak Island.
