The Curse of Oak Island: THE TEAM STRIKES GOLD (Season 8) | History

How’s it going? Hey Craig, look at the road we found. It is amazing.
There’s no mistaking, this is a cobbled road.
There is no doubt, I mean, this is obvious. Yeah, that’s all.
Yeah, that’s a good one. Over the past two years, Rick, Marty, and the Oak Island team
have discovered incredible evidence of man-made workings within the swamp.
It began with a 200-foot long anomaly detected some 50 feet deep by
seismic scanning, resembling the shape and size of an ancient sailing ship.
Oh look, this find was followed by numerous pieces of burnt metal
and wood that were all determined to have come from a ship.
However, the most astonishing finds included a circular formation of boulders at the
northernmost point, known as the Eye of the Swamp, which dated to 1680,
as well as a massive stone-paved feature dating all the way back to 1200 A.D.
Now, could the discovery of this stone pathway,
which the team believes may also be heading in the direction of the money pit itself,
be the key to revealing the swamp’s ultimate secrets
and solving the Oak Island mystery? Well, this is amazing.
It doesn’t get better than this.
Yep, okay, well, I’m gonna see how they’re doing. All right.
You guys find anything more over there?
No, surprisingly little. Okay.
Well, you wouldn’t give her a whole keg to be down there full of something, right?
I’m interested if we find another structure or an artifact that
puts the whole operation here in perspective.
Whoa, whoa, is that a square beam there,
or is that just a log? Looks squared off.
I’ll get in there, Craig. Take a look.
Heads up, Bill, you’re gonna pull it out?
Yeah, but again, it’s a squared-off beam,
but any fancy work? No, a wooden beam
discovered next to the stone pathway.
Could they be connected, or has Billy Gerhart
just found a different man-made structure?
Well, that’s good, Greg. I’ve got a hit here.
I got a definite hit, rig.
And it’s just in there, mate.
Anywhere you like, just on the top here, then I can see it.
Oh, you got it out. Let’s see what we got.
Look at that, that’s bloody brilliant! It might
be actually gold! That’s in great condition. What
is it? That is an old handle, and it looks like it
would be off a boat, probably a gold-colored handle,
possibly from a ship, and found near the stone
pathway in the swamp. Could it be connected to
the mysterious ship-shaped anomaly found last year
in the middle of the swamp? And could it also help
explain the purpose of this pathway or possible
wharf in the southeastern corner?
Look at that, very fancy. Look at that! Could be a
low-grade gold. Feel the weight of it.
Do it. Size, it’s heavy, mate. I won’t be
surprised about it being gold-plated, mate.
Woohoo!
