History Channel - Oak Island mini series January 5, 2014

What bugs the crap out of me watching each week is how quickly they give up on an area to then come back to it episodes later or even the next year. Why not fully explore each area before moving on. Would be much cheaper that way I'd think. Just like a week or two ago on Fred Nolan's land. They dug 1 hole where he says he hit a plate. They didn't find it and left the area..
 

I'm still wondering if the dive made last week was really done before they
ran the camera down & they are just pretending it happened in this order.

I'm guessing this week,
the diver will come up & claim he was trying to release the piece of drill that is blocking his access.
and can't. & this is why they used the Camera in the first place
 

could be. I've often wondered if they are cutting and piecing things in different order.

Also on the show that they put the mini mini sub down there, later during their talks in the war room their diver said he saw no reason to put a diver in the water. Now 2 shows later they are trying to put a different diver down there!! Do they not think we will remember this stuff.

There was a show on Nova where they were excavating WWI trenches and tunnels in Belgium. At one spot they found an access hatch to a vertical German mine shaft (about 28" around with a metal ladder - what ho!) and tunnel that was used to undermine the French/British lines. It was flooded right up to a few feet from the surface. They sent a TV remote video down 30 meters and filmed all kinds of interesting things. From the looks of what was still on the spool above ground they could have gone down another 30 ot 40 meters. I see similar equipment can be rented, or purchased for around $6,000. We use similar "bore scopes" to feed cameras through public water mains and channels to check for debris. Ours can only do 3 atmospheres, but it includes the little crawler vehicle. Why in God's name would you send a diver down a narrow vertical shaft EXCEPT to try and create some TV Drama and stretch nothing out for multiple episodes?

They have ROVS for sale at Cabela's, for God's sake, that can do live video feed to 75 ft from a boat or under the ice. Bob Ballard filmed the Titanic at 12,000 feet deep with live video. Is a 230 ft deep shaft really that difficult?

Seriously annoyed with the whole Roman Sword thing they have been periodically showing all season, making it appear,it was something dug or discovered on the island. Nope, just another tease, an old doscovery and one not even from the island. It's enough to make me quit watching,
 

Another week lost on Hoax Island . . .

But we lap it up and the sponsors are delighted.

I keep forgetting to watch it, or maybe it's just that I quit giving a @$# about this farce long ago. I'll still find them to laugh at them, on youtube or other video hosting site. Don't even have to see commercials that way.
 

For all who continue to watch this teevee show and also continue to complain about it.

I keep thinking something is missing from the Oak Island series; and most History Channel "mocumentaries" . . .

Entertaining and not to be taken seriously.
 

only thing they have proven to me so far is it is Impossible for Professionals to get to the Bottom of
10x. Visibility there is near Zero.

& Dave Blankenship is full of Crap !

if professional cave divers cant get down there & see.

Blankenship never did either.


I'm even starting to wonder if the under water scenes of the Supposed body
were Filmed elsewhere also.

Might be true, but Mr. Blankenship had a different attitude for his quest then these current divers. He was in it for himself, doing research, using his own money, safety be damned or die trying. These guys are just getting paid to do a job.. safely..
 

I hate to say it, I really wanted to believe something GREAT was going to be found, Even after my wife beating me up like a nerd in music class for watching this show and talking about "How they are going to change History" the 1st few shows of season 3 were good & Now,,, Now they are jumping all over the place like a cat on a hot tin roof, I don't know where they are going next???? what about the stones in the water last week? what about the void that was found on Fred's property? what about the Stones? its all over the place... now what? they are going to drill in the next two shows and the season is going to end with them finding some more Wood!!! I believe there are 13 shows this season, the next one is the 11th, lets just get it over with, its like watching paint dry, BUT I HAVE TO WATCH!!!! WHY????? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????????????
 

I just read up that the Sword was brought to the TWO YEARS AGO!!
