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. |

I still think this is one of the funniest non eventful events of all time but The Curse of Oak Island is digging in there.

I'd imagine their "trap doors" and voids, just naturally occurring. Regardless...still watching it. Surprised no one has mentioned the ship logs that, iirc, specifically state the (french?) buried treasure in the surrounding bay area.

I have this season recorded, just can't bring myself to watch it. I just hear that narrator's voice in my head saying " treasure, will the next hole be the treasure?

The pyramid code on Netflix has been fascinating.

Ok, still have a lotta problems with this show but have to admit... the Phoenician goddess neckless piece circa 1200 BC is WAY intriguing
Something that ancient being there raises some wild questions Still cant wrap my head around how an ancient people were able to accomplish such extreme feats of engineering... these brothers have spent hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in state of the art technology and heavy equipment that can never seem to dig past the puzzle But my interest is piqued again |

The swamp has always looked very odd to me. I’ve always felt it looks man made. Finding a pole that could be used for such a purpose is quite interesting.
On that lady’s interpretation of the cross, I’m not sure I buy that. It seemed like quite the stretch she was making. |

I do believe it was related in someway to the Templars but I don’t know that I believe they were worshipping that ancient goddess. I think it is much more likely that it was just a Christian cross. |

There were some real differences between it, and a regular cross... it was a strange enough find to renew my interest in the show |

Has anyone kept up with the new season? Pretty interesting so far with the new technology and methods they are utilizing. I am really glad they are going to really be able to thoroughly search Smith’s cove. That seems like it could prove without a doubt something happened there that was a pretty big operation of some sort if they are able to uncover what some people think is there.

I think that lyme disease put a dent in Rick. He looks tired.
