All Treasure Hunting
Just skimmed through the first episode of the new series. Really could not bring myself to watch it all so downloaded it and just scrolled through to the bits that were not just guys talking.... Turned the whole episode into about 15 minutes of actual new stuff.

The finds in the swamp seem to be the only real new things of interest. There does seem to be evidence that the swamp is man made and was not always a swamp. So looking forward to what they find there.

Gary's finds seem to be just more junk that shows people have been visiting Oak Island for a long time...

Cannot really see what they hope to find by extending the wall of the coffer dam in Smiths Cove.

Did not see much to justify another 30+ hours of this......

Agony and Death on a Gold Rush Steamer: The Disastrous Sinking of the Side-Wheeler Yankee Blade - Grab it through Amazon!
I'm down with the Smiths Cove extension - there's a good chance of something, even if it's just junk dropped by the original depositors from the ships as they docked to do their {big operation}.

But there was plenty of opportunity for Fast Forward. And caught a brief preview of the new "Kings of Pain" show - a group watches Oak Island Recaps continuously, and the last one to scream is the winner.
 

I have seen the idea put forward that the swamp was an attempt at a man made freshwater dam for the naval stores operation on OI (J.Steele). If so that could support a stone pier into it as an easy way to get large amounts of fresh water into some type of horse drawn tank etc.

I cannot fathom how they can be talking about a "Spanish Gallon" being buried under the mud. That just makes zero sense in my view.
 

I still watch the show; love the showcasing of the various methods/tech being utilized. But like others, I now DVR the episodes and then watch while doing a lot of FF through the redundant parts.

No "Spanish Galleons" during the time of Henry Sinclair and the Templars, unless Diana Jean Muir's next installment of "translated from the Latin, Middle English , Modern English" journals that Sinclair acquired a prototype galleon from Spain by way of the Zeno brothers.
 

Top 25 moments you never saw

Wow, I just watch this episode.

The best episode to date, emotional one.

But Samuel B. keep my attention ...

At his death he was the richest man in Nova Scotia. If this true, he find the treasure !

Or could it be a lie !

It's a Spanish Galleon, made of clay...
 

I don't feel sorry for the brothers because I imagine the tv money has paid for everything for the last few seasons. What I don't understand is why they don't get a club in there and metal detect the whole island instead of an hour or two at a time with Gary. Seems they want to drag it out for the episodes. It would be a lot better show if they would forget the recaps after every commercial and just get on with it but that way they couldn't make 15 minutes into an hour long episode.

Exactly! But yes they want to drag it out for as many years as possible. With enough detecting, they could pin down a base camp, trails and work areas. Don't think they have done LIDAR yet either? Maybe that's all for 2020 season.

That was the date on Zena Halpern's French Map. Oak Island was only one island then. Looks like Frog Island though was two separate islands. They buried treasure there too but it was recovered before the American Revolution.

I have today worked out where they took the Ark of the Covenant of God to but I do not know whether it was recovered and taken to Washington City. I believe that it was recovered. But anyway I have worked out where the Knight's Templar took it to and why.
 

A map never seen or mentioned before 2008 when Zena "found" it.

LIDAR of the island has been done. It is publicly available at GeoNova.

It was credible until Scott Wolter talked to Don Ruhl. You never know whether the letter is credible or not either. By letter I mean the letter where Don Ruhl claims Bill Jackson made it up to catch some shady characters. They may have another motive claiming the map is fake. Myself I believe the map is credible.
