yeah a note that says, 'we will see ya all next season suckers!' LOL
In the season finale, they discover more ancient wood from "the tunnel" as they get ever closer to the money pit.
For season 10, they enlist science to help, enlisting the company Ideon to survey detail around the money pit using cosmic-ray muon tomography. It will collect information over the winter and tell them exactly where to drop a can to find the gold in the Chappell Vault.
Also on season 10 - they may or may not obtain permission to excavate the Spanish Galleon, but they will try.
There was a drilling down episode, but it looks like a rehash of the Portugal visit, using Matty Blake. Probably even he cannot rescue that boring trip into something interesting.

That is the cross in the previous post.
The is also another explanation other than a lie.
It is possible that those women were told a "made up" story by an older family member ie their grandfather. So there story is true (in that they believe it) but this does not prove that the cross came from the pit.
I have seen no evidence that the gold cross is a fake or the descendants are trying to scam anyone. The story and pictures of the cross were published in the 1980s long before the Laginas were involved with Oak Island.
Personally I like to think it is true what they said as it does then give a basis for the legend. ie a small amount of treasure was found, Word got out and people went looking for more. Discovered some unusual stuff on oak Island and the legend grew..
However there is no actual evidence that support this story other than oral family history and earlier newspaper reports of that history...
Some of the earlier reports have gold coins also being in the family from the treasure. But I have never seen anyone alive claiming to have seen them Just old newspaper reports...
I finally got the courage to watch the drilling down episode. It wasn't as bad as I was fearing - it turned out not to be a recap of Portugal, but mainly about the Mason history on Oak Island. I don't necessarily buy it as treasure related but they did show some mildly interesting tales.

What if the hammer grab destroys the ark of the covenant, the holy grail, and the lost menorah, LOL!?
The fact that they’re using it means they know there’s nothing down there.

"For season 10, they enlist science to help, enlisting the company Ideon to survey detail around the money pit using cosmic-ray muon tomography. It will collect information over the winter and tell them exactly where to drop a can to find the gold in the Chappell Vault."
Only problem is it was Season 9 when they enlisted Ideon and towards the end of summer a detector was put in. Then 2 more at the Money Pit.
By my count it was 7 months ago, the time frame for return of data?
I looked at this (photo below) of some small drill rigs arriving and if I was putting 2 and 2 together, i would add up that the muon data is in, didn't return anything of a 'treasure' location (as there ain't one there) but showed a few minor voids which in themselves wouldn't produce enough content to commit another season of the show to unless something worthwhile turned up.
So what these rigs reveal is in those minor targets then will be the basis on which a decision is made to commit to Season 10 or leave Season 9 as the final?

Basically, the fictional drama show is writing another story line utilizing cosmic rays in an attempt to keep the rubes watching the show.
Perhaps Gary Drayton will get exposed and end up with the powers of one of the Fantastic Four?

Yep... For season 10 they may as well give up the pretense of looking for treasure and turn the show into something else. As shown by the earlier picture posted by Freeman the whole area has been dug multiple times and nothing has been found.
The idea that people do not know where the pit was is completely false. It was only the exact location not known all the other search holes were known of everyone after the first finders (from the 1850s onwards) The picture that shows where Laginas have dug some on there holes is just ridiculous. ie Lets dig a random massive hole in the ground as there may be treasure there...
They could do a "Dusk to Dawn" type switch and turn the show into a fight against Aliens... Maybe combine it with Season 2 of Halo.
The fantasy they are showing these days as just as credible as any other fantasy TV show....

Why Rick Lagina Refuses to Watch The Curse of Oak Island - TVovermind
Since airing its first episode in 2014, The Curse of Oak Island has become a guilty pleasure for countless people. The series centers around brothers Marty and Rick Lagina and their quest to uncover treasure that has allegedly been hidden on Oak Island in Nova Scotia. Although the Laginas have...

I never quite wrapped my head around the "We'll dig in the same spot a previous searcher DIDN'T find anything..." What is that saying about doing the same thing, and expecting different results?

The show has gone far and beyond in proving what everyone has known for years, that there was never a money pit or treasure on the island, only fabricated stories of those wishing to fleece investors and advertisers.

but you know once they X-ray the entire island - they may finally know where the largest deposits of pyrite (fool's gold) are located. Then they can show us the tunnels carved out by Cornish Miners long ago. And then drift off into another skinwalker's ranch tale of a cabbage farmer! These guys are pathetic!
I found a surprise Digging Down episode from yesterday and have bad news: There's every likelihood of season 10! More info:
If the muon tomography shows where the Chappell Vault is, they won't do a hammer grab - instead they'll hire a tunneling company who can deal with the soil and water table issues. They'd fill it with shotcrete as they excavate and bring up all material in a conveyor.
Jack Begley says that he's more convinced than ever that the treasure is down there but "it keeps running away".
They have active researchers in multiple European locations over the winter going through the promising archives of the Templars, etc. It's possible that they could find more convincing artifacts than Zena Halpern's map.

The fictional Chappell Vault keeps running away! Any cartoonists in here that can make a vault doing laps around the Money Pit? Maybe it ran to France where the last Templars lived? I'm sure there are plenty of fake map drawers all over the world. Europe just makes it sound more exotic and proves they have nothing new but lame attempts at baffling gullible viewers with B.S.

They will not let that get in the way.... There is a treasure to be found. The size of the treasure is equal to what they get from the History channel and associated revenues.
I am stunned that they must still think that a significant amount of people believe/think/hope the treasure is still there waiting to be found. How could ANYONE still believe that...
