The Oak Island Treasue Has FINALLY Been Discoverd At Smith’s Cove!

To put it, would be in the middle of a wall. Drill’s going in now. They hit something at 11 ft. That could be where the treasure’s hiding. I detected gold. W 100%. Yeah, this is huge.

Well, there you go, guys! From the Lagina brothers intensifying their search after finding traces of gold in Oak Island’s water to the discovery of an ancient handcrafted ladder leading to a dark, mysterious underwater tunnel, the team’s journey has been nothing short of thrilling.

So, without further ado, let’s dive in. The brothers and their crew are more determined than ever to solve the centuries-old mystery of Oak Island. After finding traces of gold in the island’s water, they’ve intensified their search for the treasure, even discovering signs that suggest gold in the trees. With excitement running high, they believe they’re closer than ever to cracking the 229-year-old puzzle.

Signs of Human Activity: A New Discovery
While exploring the island, the team uncovers an ancient handcrafted ladder leading to a dark underwater tunnel. This is just one of many signs of human interference that hints at past efforts to find the hidden treasure. According to local legend, Oak Island is cursed, and one more person must die before the treasure is revealed. Despite this eerie tale, the Lagina brothers and their crew remain undeterred in their mission.

The episode kicks off with Paul expressing how exciting this new phase of the search is going to be. “Oh, the water samples are indicating the presence of gold,” well, certainly the wood should as well. Marty, the leader of the crew, asks if the team is ready to bring in the drilling rig. With an enthusiastic “yes,” the team moves into position, fully prepared for what lies ahead.

Marty reveals that two experts, Dr. Spooner and Dr. Michelle, have pinpointed an area of interest using water sample data. Marty gestures to the location, explaining that this is the very spot they’ve been discussing. A flashback shows the team sitting together, excited, talking about their discovery. Dr. Spooner and Dr. Fred Michelle, a hydrogeologist, had conducted water tests across The Money Pit area. Their findings suggest that the treasure could be hidden in a 70×25 ft area just west of the garden shaft, which they’ve named “The Blob.”

Enter the Baby Blob: A More Precise Target
The flashback continues, revealing that Dr. Spooner and Dr. Michelle’s latest tests have greatly narrowed the search to a 20×20 ft zone at a depth of 80 to 120 ft. The team jokingly calls this area “Blob 2.0” or the “Baby Blob.” In the present day, the crew reviews the new plan, with everyone holding a copy of the updated search map. They speculate that there could be a tunnel sitting 95 ft deep, leading directly to the potential treasure location.

With excitement building, the team realizes that the orange X marked on the ground is their best shot at uncovering the treasure. “Even though this is the final can, we’re not going to give up. We know there is a tunnel in the 90 ft horizon,” says Marty. Well, a tunnel means we’re close to finding the original Money Pit.

Marty makes a final call to bring in the rig, and the crew prepares to drill bore hole DN 11.5 into the Baby Blob. They hope to hit valuable artifacts below 80 ft and intercept a tunnel believed to run directly under the garden shaft, where water tests have already shown traces of gold.

Excitement and Tension
Excitement fills the air as the team finally reaches a critical point in their search. After months of water sampling, they are now closer than ever to possibly uncovering the treasure that has been whispered about for centuries. Marty remains hopeful. Even if they don’t find the actual treasure, they will uncover something significant to end their season-long hunt.

Charles takes charge. Marty steps aside from overseeing the operation, leaving Oak Island historian Charles Barkhouse in charge as the crew begins drilling bore hole DN 11.5. Meanwhile, the narrator informs viewers that Marty will soon be back on site, but this time with Scott Baro, Oak Island’s operations manager, and Roger Foron from Duma Contracting Limited. They prepare to personally inspect the garden shaft, where exciting progress is being made.

The reconstruction of the garden shaft is well past the halfway mark, with the team aiming to reach a depth of 80 ft. Roger estimates they are about 60 ft underground as they carry out their inspection. Over the past few weeks, the crew from Dumas Contracting has removed tons of muck and water from the old shaft, reinforcing it with watertight wooden levels every 8 ft, known as “sets.”

A Historic Find: The Handcrafted Ladder
As they continue their work, Marty and Scott venture down into the garden shaft and come across a significant find: an old handcrafted ladder. Marty is amazed, recognizing it as undeniable proof that they are standing where adventurers and treasure hunters once stood. Scott examines the ladder and remarks on how it was carved by hand, noting that craftsmen back then didn’t have modern tools like a wood lathe.

The ladder itself is treated as a treasure, a rare piece of history left behind by someone who could have been hiding a vast cache of gold. This discovery fuels the team’s speculation that the high readings of precious metals in this area could be linked to whoever built the ladder.

Back to the Void: Possible Connections
A flashback takes us 12 weeks back when the team drilled a bore hole just 18 ft southwest of the garden shaft. During that operation, they discovered a large void, which they believed might be a sign of an offset chamber. Now, in the present, Scott Barkhouse notices a slump at the same depth in the garden shaft, possibly connected to the void they found earlier. The team’s excitement builds as they prepare to explore the area with probe drilling, eager to see if their theories about a hidden chamber, tunnel, or shaft next to the garden shaft are true.

Meanwhile, Back at the Money Pit
Charles Barkhouse and geologist Terry Mat are hard at work closely monitoring the drilling of borehole DN 11.5. They are now in the potential treasure zone between 80 and 120 ft underground. Andy, a geoscientist, checks in with them, and Terry reports that they’ve reached depths of 78 to 88 ft, getting closer to their goal. Suddenly, a loud grinding sound comes from the drilling crew, capturing everyone’s attention. The screeching noise grows louder, and the drill operator announces that they’ve broken through something underground.

The Discovery of a Void
The operator measures the pipe to understand what happened. As the operator reads the measuring tape, he realizes they’ve hit an open space about a foot and a half wide. Terry watches with concern from the tent, his jaw dropping as he fears something may have gone terribly wrong. The team is left wondering what lies beneath as they prepare for the next phase of their thrilling investigation into Oak Island’s hidden secrets.

A Surprising Discovery
Terry clears things up for the team, explaining that the drill operator hit an open space 90 ft below the surface, suggesting they found a void. The three men in the tent tell the operator to stop drilling for now while they discuss what to do next. Charles grabs his phone and contacts the Lagina brothers, Rick and Marty. In a confessional, Rick admits that every time he hears from The Money Pit drill program, he gets excited, especially since DN 11.5 is right within the treasure zone they’ve been focusing on.

This area is important because they’ve put in a lot of effort to find the highest gold values and pinpoint potential voids. Rick wastes no time and heads straight to the site, feeling hopeful. Once the team gathers at the borehole, Mike, the drill operator, explains what happened at 90 ft down. He felt the rods break through something and hit an open space about a foot and a half beyond that. The team wonders if whatever they hit might have fallen into the void.

Next Steps: Core Sample and Evidence
Terry looks at a map and points out that DN 11.5 is in line with DN 12.5 and DN 13.5, which form a structure 94 ft deep. They consider the idea that they’ve hit another part of a tunnel, possibly connected to the high gold readings they found earlier. It’s time for a core sample. Marty steps in and decides the best way to confirm things is to pull a core sample. He instructs Mike to retrieve it while Rick shares his hopes that this new void might bring them closer to the treasure.

The team eagerly waits, knowing the sample could reveal something big. When it finally arrives, they find chunks of wood, sparking excitement. Could this wood be from an old chest used to hide treasure? Terry sends the wood sample to the lab for further analysis.
