So interesting suffering from loss of oak island.

What ancient manuscripts were found on Oak Island

[@TREASUREHUNTERSUK]

We find more in one day than they've found in 7 years of searching oak island 😂

[@graystonegardens1642]

Why can't we watch all full episodes.!?

This is very interesting keep these videos up!!!

[@belindamiller7808]

One can never mistake William Shatner’s great voice. Made me happy just to hear him!

[@sharonbrowning25]

Is Shatner going to be next seasons host narrator?

[@johntinus9438]

To be or not to be!

[@StonedustandStardust]

First of all, as a child who also read the Reader's Digest story all those years ago, I am so grateful that the Lagina bros followed their passion and took us on this journey. As a History buff, can't get enough of the twists and turns. As a metal detectorist, I love the "top pocket finds" . I would be just as happy if they find that Samuel Ball and his neighbors found the treasure and spread it around. Someone should get with the Ball family and write this man's story - from slave to sailor, farmer and landowner. Annie Proulx, where are you? There should be a book and a movie. Visiting Oak Island is on my bucket list for the next time we camp in Nova Scotia. I am glad you changed the voice over. I can't stand the "could it be that" narrative. Its just annoying. Hope going forward that changes. Otherwise, it's the journey, not the destination, that really matters. Safe Journey, Guys.

The box was sealed. The man drilled into the box. Water came in. The manuscripts are now destroyed.

[@FraterAlex]

This seems to escape many............

[@SiriusDraconis]

Not so actually. This was planned for. All the manuscripts were plunged into quicksilver before they were buried thus preserving them. The same was done for the corpse of Father RC or better known as Francis Bacon. His preserved corpse is either at the bottom of the money pit or under the swamp with the golden menorah of king Solomon, which was given to him by John Dee. If his body is in the money pit I'm guessing it's the body that Dan Blankenship swore he saw.

[@steveblomefield9513]

Not necessarily destroyed some yes but the type of paper or parchment as well as the ink used tells a piece of the story. With today's technology it is possible to use alternative light waves to make, otherwise invisible, visible.

Don't know why I love this show.

[@mikeseverin0]

A quatrain from Nostradamus reads: Beneath the oak tree of Gienne, struck by lightning, the treasure is hidden not far from there. That which for many centuries had been gathered, when found, a man will die, his eye pierced by a spring.

Nostradamas was a crackhead with turrets syndrome.

[@raeganmoore7914]

I honestly think Samuel Ball, either found it or some parts of the treasure.

[@sirdtheg6261]

Yeah he definitely found something! I have a feeling there is or was more than 1 treasure buried on the island tho

[@oliviagreen7423]

He had a sus amount of land and money for someone who had been a slave a short time previously. But maybe he was helping the British with whatever they were doing/hiding, and the wealth he had was his payoff from the Brits to keep his mouth shut about a much larger horde. We may never know, but still fascinating to ponder

[@notyaavridge2660]

I agree with S. Ball taking some of the treasure,but , the freemasons would have been aware of him and taken precautions . Marty and Rick are just making a scripted reality show. I dont think the public will be told the truth anyway.

[@The_Norse_Hunk]

I've been burning through this the last couple months. Almost caught up. One thing that amazed me is the work done from like season 3 to current. Night and day. Something incredibly historic and amazing is buried there somewhere, I hope they find it. Also, I think any manuscripts are toast because all the digging would have ensured any book or binder type material is wet. Too much damage to what was pristine before.

[@xpertstuff.3203]

Im a big fan of lagina brother's they r working very hard to find the treasure over all island 🏝 may god fulfill their hard work

The show reminds me of my yard work I keep cleaning it & never shows, or something breaks then winter (413) comes. Wait till spring to pick it last year mess.

[@sturlingobrien2996]

If you're a fan of the show, watch 'Cracking the Shakespeare code'. All 3 parts are on youtube. In the documentary, this guy Petter that is in this video finds hard evidence of a secret treasure map coded into Shakespeares original folio, and the map legitimately leads to Oak Island. My mind was blown.

[@tristatetreasures132]

This exactly why I opened my channel

[@maxsteel8031]

*I remember reading as a child about the "recovered" piece of parchment on the DRILL BIT. It broke my heart, because that document is undoubtedly destroyed now. A voice reaching out through time and valued as much as gold and silver, buried underground is lost because of a butcher with a toy digger. Technology has given us things like xray ink tracing, AI, and techniques that can even recover notes and paper that's been burned. There may be hope again.I'd certainly like to think so.*

[@maxsteel8031]

*I don't think "Shakespears" work is in there. I'd be satisfied with a note from the person who buried it, to the person who discovers it.*

[@jasmyneemmerick]

On the Shakespeare manuscripts theory... What is the motive to bury them? And why Oak Island? (Note: I'm a huge fan of the show; been watching since Season 1 Episode 1.)

[@johnwoa]

@Jasmyne Emmerick The motive would have been to protect the original manuscripts ("sealed in mercury") and to conceal the fact that William Shakespeare did not write the plays. If the Shakespearean manuscript theory is true, the actual author of the renowned plays apparently knew of the existence of Oak Island on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and that it was an original depository for "something of great value" placed there deep underground via the cavern(s) nearly one thousand years before. Oak Island would be the perfect hiding place for the original Shakespearean manuscripts as it was "across the ocean and far away". The cavern(s) beneath Oak Island together with the shoreline cavern entrance(s) was most probably above the mean high water line back in the 1600's, and the Geological Survey of Canada stated in the 1990's that sea levels surrounding Oak Island have been steadily rising at the rate of 30 centimetres (12 inches) every one hundred years. The final Shakespearean play, "The Tempest" takes place on a REMOTE ISLAND possibly in foreign lands being colonized by Europeans, and Act 5 Scene 1 contains interesting clues as to where the original Shakespearean manuscripts wound up! I hope this information helps with your studies of the Oak Island mystery.

[@jasmyneemmerick]

@@johnwoa Thanks!

[@patriciabishop114]

After all this hard work and money spent I hope that the lagina brothers find something historical God bless him for the work that they do particularly interested in the knights Templar

[@katlego720]

What happened to the cave they found? What's up with the off-shoots?

[@djcranium1210]

So anything down in the vault is ruined due to salt water? Any papers will be destroyed.

[@thegeneral19]

I dont think metals will be destroyed such as gold

[@seanmc7128]

Exactly. If they found a fragment of parchment that probably means they destroyed whatever was containing the rest of it.

[@actiaint]

@@seanmc7128 yep, I think all the parchment and leather bound manuscripts have been destroyed by the searches - and recently too.

[@SiriusDraconis]

Saltwater cannot ruin them. The manuscripts were plunged into quicksilver for preservation. Water cannot penetrate the mercury. This was done by Francis Bacon and his Rosicrucian/Masonic order. This is why they are finding mercury on the island. Bacon also had his followers plunge his headless corpse into quicksilver. The body that Dan Blankenship thought he saw at the bottom of 10x was Bacons preserved corpse. However, a giant drill bit will shred any documents.

[@lightworkers1]

Not if its imbedded in mercury!

[@johntinus9068]

Tune in same time next week as they continue to drill more holes but fon

[@RyoshilovesKabosu]

The entire island is covered in rock and boulders, or glacial drift to be technical. If the swamp was dug out for a harbor than the rock would have been removed to only a certain depth, but a consistent depth to create a basin,use the steel rods on a grid pattern to measure depth to rock.

Could it be? Samuel's Balls? A once slave, who became the wealthiest man on Oak Island, often known to pay in silver? Silver? The same metal used for Olympians who take 2nd place? Second place, not as good as first. Could it be, first? Then flood tunnels? Could they be? Could it be? Could it?

[@johntinus9438]

In this episode Rick finds a large stone in the woods by Samuel Ball's property with strange markings on it. One of the drawings appears to be a trap door or a hatch with an arrow pointing down. Rick has Billy help him move the stone with his machine. The stone is removed and water starts gushing out in an unstoppable stream. Two hours later Oak Island sinks to the bottom of the ocean taking everything with it treasure and all. Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!

[@joscaca]

Season 7 now? Have they actually made any discoveries? Anything worthwhile?
