The Oak Island Treasure Has Been Found! NEWEST Episode LEAKED!
Thomas Jefferson may have actually told them of Oak Island or whatever secret was there. They could have had part of the treasure from Oak Island as a way to finance the war and help, you know, establish the new country. Holy smokes! For more than 200 years, hundreds of people have embarked on voyages to find the elusive treasure in The Money Pit on Oak Island. What started as a treasure hunt between friends in 1795 has snowballed into different quests taken on by people. The Lagina brothers are some people dedicated to this centuries-long search. After all of their efforts and resources, have they finally found the treasure? Is the search finally over?
Join us as we talk all about the Oak Island Treasure that has recently been found and how mind-blowing the discovery is in this episode of The Curse of Oak Island. We continue with the Lagina brothers as they follow leads in hopes of taking them to the elusive treasure. For 11 seasons, these two men, along with their team of experts, have worked tirelessly to finally lay their hands on the loot that has evaded so many people. Will this finally be the end of their quest?
The episode begins with the team stumbling across an unknown and shiny object. This object was possibly gold, and this meant that they were getting closer and closer to the treasure. The Curse of Oak Island team discovered this lead by draining some swamps in hopes of getting to the treasure. They weren’t too sure about the validity of the draining action, but with all the other discoveries they had made, this was just another important cog in the wheel. Every lead and every action taken counted as important because the things found by different people for over 200 years may or may not be linked to the treasure.
For starters, there was the discovery of a large stone with different symbols carved on it. Secondly, the bone pieces and skeletons of the people who also wanted a piece of the treasure but didn’t make it because they met their untimely end on the island. And lastly, a lead cross. There have also been a couple of other discoveries, but in the grand scheme of things, they could be insignificant. However, there are some elements of the Oak Island Treasure Hunt that are deemed to be fascinating.
Some people have claimed that these discoveries can be matched with the Knights Templar. Sometime in the 12th century, a Christian military order known as the Knights Templar was established. It was first established during the Crusades to safeguard Christian visitors going to the Holy Land, especially in Jerusalem. It was approximately in 1129 that the Catholic Church formally acknowledged the order, with the help of gifts from European nobles and their own commercial endeavors, such as banking and land management. The Templars soon amassed riches and influence. They developed into one of the Crusader powers’ largest and most effective military units.
However, the Templar’s power and wealth also inspired jealousy and mistrust. King Philip IV of France, who owed a great deal to the order, started plotting against them. At the beginning of the 14th century, he issued an order in 1307 to have numerous Templars in France arrested on charges of heresy, blasphemy, and other offenses. Some European nations also adopted similar measures. Many Templars made confessions under torture, while historians disagree on the accuracy of these testimonies of various crimes. In 1312, Pope Clement V dissolved the order at the behest of Philip IV. Some Templars were put to death, and many others were arrested.
There is a possibility that the Templars hid many of the riches that they garnered on Oak Island. The Lagina brothers and their team would have to figure out who the treasure belonged to the minute they got to it. In their latest adventure, they encountered a strange structure situated at one of their choice locations. It was a large circle of rocks surrounding a swamp. Granted, it might not have looked like much, but for such a quest as this, every discovery counted.
It had been a while since the team made any major progress, and this made them very eager and excited. The first step to understanding this new find was to recruit the help of one of their dear friends and close associates. His name is Dr. Ian Spooner. He is a knowledgeable geologist with a mastery of understanding rocks, especially the rocks that were found in the swamp. After some analysis was made about the swamp, the rocks were found in, Dr. Spooner concluded that the swamp wasn’t natural. He was certain that the swamp was built by some people a long time ago.
Expanding on his opinion, he said, “I was really interested in trying to find something that connects the stone road to something else.” He continued, “We know it had to be used for something else, and they were going somewhere and doing something.” Understandably, the Lagina brothers and team were even more interested in finding out more secrets or clues that could lead them to the treasure. The information they got from Dr. Spooner would affect how they investigated the area and the different measures they would carry out in their ongoing explorations into the swamp.
They were able to discover an interesting part of Oak Island. This part of the island is known as Nolan’s Cross. Their analysis made them find some blue clay there. This changed everything because a few years ago, the team discovered some blue clay when they dug deep into The Money Pit. Blue clay in The Money Pit and some more blue clay in the swamp. Surely, there had to be some sort of link, and if there was any link, the Lagina brothers and team made up their minds to get to the root of it all. This could finally mean they were really close to the treasure and they could uncover even more secrets of the island.
To explore the swamp more, the team decided to drain out the swamp. Draining out the swamp would allow them to explore its clouded and dreary waters. However, there was a catch, and draining out the swamp wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. Hardly a week after draining the swamp, the mud, sticks, and muck that remained proved to be a fresh set of challenges for the team. This new problem made them believe that the island and nature were doing everything they could to prevent them from reaching the treasure.
For about a month, the Lagina brothers and team didn’t make any headway after draining the swamp. However, after weeks of excavating the drained swamp, they found a huge stone area. Dr. Spooner was invited again to make his analysis, and again, he concluded that the stone was made by people from years ago. When they reached the eye of the swamp, they discovered some boulders that looked fascinating. Of course, this made them all wonder if these boulders had a connection to the rocks they found earlier.
When the team brought Jerry over to analyze the boulders, he wasn’t able to draw a concrete conclusion. However, he noted that he had seen other kinds of boulder pavements before. The ones he had seen looked different from the ones the team found. The boulders they found had a type of soil that was attached to them. Because of this new information, they shifted their focus to the sediments deposited in the area that could have materialized as a result of the wind accumulated over 8 millennia ago. More and more investigations of the area made them discover some filled-in cellars that looked like the stones they stumbled upon earlier.
Was there more to the island than meets the eye? The fill-in cellars were truly bizarre because there weren’t any explanations that could make the team comprehend them. More, the lack of a compost layer around the cellars amazed them more because at least they would have been able to tell if any natural disasters had happened there in the past. Dr. Spooner further claimed that some humans put them there deliberately. Maybe it was some people who had been there in the past that had a hidden agenda. Either way, the Lagina brothers and their team made up their minds to know what exactly had happened there in the swamp.
It only made sense that they increased their efforts and dug even deeper into the swamp. There had to be more that was going on under the surface. Thousands of miles away in Traverse City, Michigan, Marty Lagina was overseeing other issues. He was on a very important phone call with Mark Monahan. Mark was one of the representatives of a company called Irving Equipment. This phone call was all about the steel cofferdam that was erected around Smith’s Cove. This was essential because it aided the investigations the Lagina brothers and team were currently undergoing.
Also, there was a little problem: The government permit that was utilized to erect the cofferdam was about to expire in a month. This wasn’t a great situation for the team because they were in a race against time to lift the cofferdam so they wouldn’t break any laws or go against any environmental rules. Basically, after all the processes they were carrying out, they would need to restore the area. A month was all they had. Juggling this issue and trying to find out more about Oak Island wasn’t proving to be an easy feat, but they had a job to do regardless. And they all realized that the team had to remove the dam’s large metal sheets, and doing so would exacerbate their other problems.
Also, getting rid of the sheets wasn’t an easy task. They needed to act fast, so the team started out right away. They had to use their huge cranes and other heavy equipment to assist them in this venture. The whole cofferdam issue felt like a drawback. It felt like they had taken one step forward and three steps back. The searches and investigations at Smith’s Cove in the Uplands had to be put on pause for the rest of the year. On the bright side, the representatives from the Irving Equipment Company were heavily interested in the job. To them, this wasn’t like any of the other regular jobs they had taken up. All the excitement for an interest in the job was about to yield some fruit.
This is what happened: Apparently, one of the holes they were tunneling through in the Uplands suddenly filled up with water. This excavation was a result of following a lead that led to a possible tunnel. Everyone on the team looked on in awe as the water was springing out of the hole like a geyser. A week prior, they had been conducting some tests in the Uplands region, and they found a probable tunnel that supposedly led into the ground. So, even if they had to halt their excavation exercises, the whole team was overjoyed because they figured they could find the main tunnel they had been looking for so long.
Someone on the team said, “I think we might have hit a collapsed tunnel, some sort of linear feature of wood that got disturbed in all of this.” The team didn’t forget the initial problem of removing the dam. It was still important because they also realized they had to do it in a way that didn’t cause any harm to the immediate environment. For example, they had to ensure that no dirt or debris was led into the ocean. The heat was on. The environment was at risk. The Lagina brothers and their team had to figure out everything in such a short amount of time.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, they also had to get access to an old boat that they assumed to be in the area. The equipment that they had also wasn’t enough. They had a lot on their plate, and it’s only understandable that they felt overwhelmed. Eventually, they figured out that all they had to do was take everything slow, one step at a time, one task at a time. Maybe, in the process, they would find more clues that would lead them to the treasure that had eluded so many people for years. With such an inflexible amount of time, they agreed that the first thing they should do was shift their focus on finding the peculiar tunnel. They believed it was the cause for the flooding of seawater in The Money Pit.
To start the process, their heavy equipment operator said that he was ready to help the team by digging as deeply as he could into the soil. If they had luck on their side, this would change everything. This would mean that they’d found the tunnel they had been looking for. Even the viewers at home realized that if they had found this tunnel, they might have been on their way to actually finding the treasure. Both the team and viewers everywhere were on the edge of their seats, bustling with excitement. Closing up this snare trap of a tunnel with its flooding could finally be the beginning of the end of their whole quest.
Rick Lagina said, “Someone was endeavoring to do something substantial. It needs more digging, and until that happens, I don’t think we can properly assess what this may mean.” Soon after, Billy set out to work. The entire team watched as he worked hard to get as deep as he could. His digging led to the discovery of different old wooden structures in the Uplands in Smith’s Cove. The team made more analysis and concluded that these were clues left behind by some other people who also wanted the treasure for themselves.
This encouraged them because they figured that they were on the right track. The tunnel was also believed to be the original site for The Money Pit. They also encountered a wooden structure that was made of coconut fiber. This was an extra dose of excitement for everyone. Did this mean that they were getting close? Had all their efforts finally led to something? Now they absolutely had to find the main flood tunnel.
As they carried on with their work, they discovered a huge wall. This wall stumped them, but they also thought that the wall might be a larger part of the tunnel they were so keen on finding. The digging stopped for a bit because they had to clean the area to get closer to the truth. And then they found another wall. This particular wall wasn’t as broken up in pieces as the first, and they began to wonder if it was even a tunnel they were dealing with. With this, they decided to relax a bit and
