Getting what done? It's just two rich guys with big egos who want to be on the tee-vee. I watched my first episode a couple weeks ago to see what all the hoopla was. One episode is enough for me. It's just like those bigfoot hunter shows: "Did you hear that?" Ha ha.

After years of running equipment, I'd say the lease alone on those things is at least 20K a month.. so yeah, there's big pockets behind this.

And did they need us to see them wondering around a CAT dealership for 5 mins.?
They have to know something, because they have to know that people are getting tired of nothing happening! AARRGGHH...Pass me some more stuffin'.

Yea Then Back at the Island they needed to Waste 15 Minutes or So of the Show while They "Waited" For delivery.
Then of course 15 Minutes or so more Wasted While they Got them delivered,
drove them to the site, & Had to "Wait" Till the next morning to start Digging.
with Commercials an easy Half hour They could have cut Out

I see two sides to this coin - one side is that it's a couple of guys having fun doing what they love doing, as we all do - Treasure hunting. More power to them! Now the other side - it's a reality show and with reality shows comes high ratings which adds a lot of commercial interest so there is potential for some things to be not so true. Kind of like all the monster shows popping up all the time with claims of more and more beasts living among us like the batsquatch, sheepsquatch, jersey devil whattyamacall it, and endless other fabricated beasts, even one that if you stare into it's eyes, you will turn into one. Then there is the monster where if you apply salt to it, it will explode. "Reality tv" at it's finest.

Reminds me of all those monster movies Fred Sanford would watch "The blue monster that ate el segundo" ," teen Frankenstein meets the acne doctor", Gork eats New York and gets a thank you note from president Ford" , King Kong eats hershey Pennsyvania and goes nuts", and the best one "Godzilla vs the Menudo monster"

I enjoy the thrill of the hunt just like the next guy. But it would be nice to see something truly amazing come out of the ground besides old scrap lumber. The yellow vests unfortunatly is an OSHA law guess they want well marked targets!
Really enjoying The Curse of Oak Island. The Lagina brothers seem to take a grounded view of things, but it makes me laugh at how the producers have cut the break lines when it comes to discussing the possibilities.
After doing some reading, it sounds like there is very little documented evidence about the early work on the Money Pit. While the three boys were real people, the finding of the location, the layers of wood, and the carved stone could be complete baloney. The show hammers us with the “history” of the layers and the booby traps after each commercial break with zero evidence of their existence. In fact, my biggest gripe about the show is that there has been no effort to prove there are man-made flood channels.
That being said: the presence of Nolan’s Cross, the wood with Roman numerals, the coconut fibers, the core samples, and the intriguing scans of 10-X are among things certainly of interest. The tech of modern treasure hunting is also entertaining. If the bottom of 10-X is a bust, it might be time to throw in the towel. If the Laginas want to throw a few million getting to the bottom of the Money Pit to see what their core sample was about, I won’t stop them.
Where is treasure1822 on here? Was that him telling Marty about the Kidd map? (Read a thread on here where he went into the Kidd map theory.) If one takes the (likely) made-up-for-the-fiction landmarks off the map (like Tony Stark asking JARVIS to remove the unessential structures off his father’s model of the expo), the raw shape of the island was a startling proximity of Oak Island. What are the odds of that happening? I don’t understand how the stones are linked to the map, or the logic of leaving stone markers so out of the way that would require their own maps to locate. Setting aside any stones, however, the Kidd map theory was interesting. Curious: when the Lagina’s manually walked off the spot where the map suggested, did that match-up with the GPS location they alluded to?

it still makes me laugh how quickly they are willing to pass off water they hit
while digging these holes as natural from being on an island,
yet insist water in the money pit and 10x must be from traps
very convenient.
they also need very expensive equipment to redig clay that was supposedly
dug 500 years or so ago with what ? clam shells ? Fingernails ? Teeth ?

Valid points, Jeff, though have the Laginas ever said they believe the flood channels exist? The narrator paints them as gospel, which is starting to grate on me. Did anyone objectively witness the layers of wood in the Money Pit, or are we taking the word of men who may have been juicing the story to lure new investors in their ventures? As cool as booby traps would be, logistically such a complicated dig doesn't make a lot of sense. When digging based on the Kidd map theory, the Laginas hit some water and (to their credit) didn't gripe about a flood tunnel. Would be wild if there is buried treasure on Oak Island, just not at the "X" everyone's been camped on for 200 years.
there was something about the color of the die they used last year to try and find tunnel entrances. (blue/Green) matched he Algie.
but they never did try a different color that I'm Aware of.
Not that Die can't travel through Natural underground Creeks .
the whole attempt to prove Water Traps makes as much sense to me as
the time and expense needed to create the pit in the first place.
which Comparing what the Original Creators would have used, Compared to what the
Treasure Hunters Have had to Re-create & still not recover supposed treasure .
400 ish Years ? of treasure hunters trying to reach what took How many years,
or days ? to Place there ? once the templars landed on the island,
started digging, placing stones and drawing maps
Even if the Templars used Old Mine workings that were long abandoned.
How many ship loads of slaves would it take to Fill it in ?
by the way, Did the Templars Dig the Grand Canyon for Practice first ?
the other part that confuses me. 2 Kids see lights on the Island.
Rush to the Spot. No more lights Just an Impression.
and a tree with a rope ? If I remember correctly.
so they decide Treasure ! and start digging.
The Owners of the Lights they saw, Just disappear & let them Dig, creating this whole Deal ?
