Season 12

[MikeN]

They are excavating a previously unknown shaft from surface level very close to the Garden Shaft. All indications are that the construction technique is very old and it was undisturbed by the Dunfield Big Dig. Also they found a cut coin on lot 5.

Oh boy this is another season that I will be missing a nothing.

Probably the only person that hasn't ever watched a single episode of this reality show.

Just for fun, I watched the episode and counted how many times they said "The Money Pit". I totaled up 53 times! I may have even dozed off once or twice and missed a couple. That's about once every two minutes during the program!

As for that "cut silver", I'm very skeptical of that one. Looked really slick and maybe just part of a broken flat button. But after they play around with it with their expensive machines, letters magically show up on the face to ID it as a 1600's coin! Sorry, not buying it.

Lol, "previously unknown shaft".


Were they also still handing out the 'Gosh, no one knows the exact site of the Money Pit anymore'' BS?

 

[MikeN]

This week they continue to explore the Golden Egg area and hoping a drill brings up some of the sources of precious metal seen in water samples. A copper coin from lot 5 and tales of Viking and Templar exploration.

This week: a new tool. 100 Mhz ground penetrating radar will be applied for a more direct survey covering approximately 12 feet around bore holes.

[Surf_Pirate]

If it's possible there are priceless sacred artifacts hidden on the island, why would you risk drilling into them just so you can hit the location? Sound more realistic to stop the flood tunnel then re tunnel the shafts safely.

 

[TruthbeTold]

Except it’s been proven many times that no flood tunnels ever existed.

Just another con by the laginas.

It's safe to say I've spent less money and found more treasure in less time.
