The Curse of Oak Island
Has anyone else started watching this show? I am a sucker for this kind of thing and so far it has been very interesting. You can watch the first two episodes in the link below. Since this was filmed over the summer, if any of you have figured out what happens please use spoilers for anything that hasn't aired yet.
http://www.history.com/shows/the-curse-of-oak-island For those who aren't familiar, very briefly, it is about an island on the eastern shore of Canada that is rumored to have buried treasure from possibly the Knights Templar dating back to the 1300s. In 1795 an apparent secret hiding space was discovered in which levels of wooden planks were buried every 10 feet. Digging down around a hundred feet, they found some gold link chain and a few other things. Eventually they dug to a point that causes the hold to be flooded by sea water as if it was some sort of boobie trap, which is believed to come from some type of tube that is out in the ocean. Another person in the 1970s dug alongside the original hole but also got his hole flooded by sea water. These guys now who are on the show purchased most of the island and are trying to solve the mystery with help from the guys who dug their own hole in the 1970s. The hole curse aspect is just kind of meh and I don't really pay attention to it, but I am sure the producers just like the added element it presents. The mystery and adventure is really interesting. It is nice to see a show like this that is actually producing some results so far. |

you are literally watching it as they uncover it. I doubt they find much, but the journey is fun.

Thanks for the heads up. I honestly didn't think there would be another season. I thought i had read that the brothers were already hesitant to do last season.

If they find what I think may be there. Ie.. plundered shit from the Mayan's and Aztecs the Spanish took and hid from the King and Queen of Spain. And or hidden loot from Henry St. Claire and the Knights Templar. There's evidence that both have been there. Moreso the Spanish.

I was really annoyed that the diver was trying to chisel the rocks. All he had to do was grab the stuff laying on the ground.

Oh yeah, I've watched a ton of those and it doesn't seem to matter what they find, as long as goofy ass Josh Gates gets to hear himself talk

So what do you think that woven shit is down at the bottom of C1? Plus there was a metallic looking hook. It's hard to know if any of the shit they find is stuff that came from people that were hunting before or just random shit that washed into the cavernous underbelly of the island.
They're really making it seem like they found something big, but they've done that plenty of times before... |

This....is the reason I stopped watching shows about searching for Bigfoot. I loved those as a kid.

Anyone been following this season? There are some pretty interesting things being discovered so far. Human bones at about 150 feet and pottery at 190 feet seem to be the main highlights so far. I assume they will be able to date the bones which could really add to the mystery if they are old.
