A fan but i have to record it so i can fast forward through the repeat repeat repeat detail of the same comments over and over

[@kaneoliver2080]

When are more episodes coming to Netflix

[@deeadame3632]

Best show I seen in a while curse of oak island

[@murdocha]

Why?

[@thedude8046]

New season starts in november

[@helenburke9507]

I read that same article in the 70’s. Have wanted to go there since then . I’ve watched. every episode since the beginning and will not miss a one. I’m right there with you at every shovel turn or hammer grab. If you ever need a cook I’m there. Thanks so much for being the kind of gentleman to all. World needs more like you 2. Be safe n well.

[@antled9992]

Two legends. When I was a child in the 80s I read the same Reader's Digest article in a compendium. I found it unbelievably interesting but resigned myself to never having the mystery resolved. Fast forward 30 years and the Laginas are trying to solve the great mystery. Good luck lads.

[@thedude8046]

Well you'll need a truck load of money to get there.

[@nicholasporter1417]

Legends 😂, two treasure hunting brothers NEVER found anything. 🎪

[@nicholasporter1417]

Legends 😆 🤦‍♂️

[@carlmerrill3669]

Thank you for taking the time to answer our ( the fans) questions. I was always curious to know that if the money pit ends up being nothing, will you still search in the swamp area or elsewhere?? I love the show and from what I've seen, something incredible was done there. I truly believe that it's your team/family that is going to crack this mystery wide open. Keep up the great work.

[@nydiaroman9714]

Your tenacious work and sense of living the mystery in the pursue of a treasure is a fascinating example of joy and hope to live life to the fullest! Great inspiration!

[@gpr2011gpr]

Ive watched every episode without fail every week its been on since the show started. Love it

[@firefighter3072]

I'm curious I have a question and I'm looking for your opinion. This year and last year's show have you noticed a big difference in how they are editing and piecing the show together. It sure seems to me that they are mixing old and new information together to make the new episodes. It seems to me as if they are not publicly adding everything they are doing on the episodes and they are taking bits and pieces and putting them together to make their episodes instead of staying in the proper timeline

[@NLRCFC]

I really hope these guys find something really fantastic on the island. They have invested so much time and money and they seem like genuinely nice people!!

[@carvinlambert6899]

You two ARE THE BEST OF BROTHERS, AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE! CHEERS!

[@cpalmetto]

My dad was a prospector and treasure hunter most of his life and I read about Oak Island when I was 12 and talked to my dad about it for years. But I have a very interesting untold story about the finding of the Atocha treasure and pictures and would love to tell you about it as a treasure hunter. I love the show. My dad taught me to scuba dive when I was 10 in 1960 before there were scuba shops or certifications. I dove with professional treasure divers at 15 on their boat for a week off the coast of Key Largo as my dad had a connection. I also metal detect which is about all the treasure hunting I do, but the Atocha and the Santa Margarita were found by a very good friend working freelance for Mel Fisher and just know he got no credit or share for finding them. My dad drove his jeep to Ecuador in the 60's and had claims far out in the jungle the produced well, but logistics and other issues made him have to return to Texas. Prospectors are still taking gold from that area today. Wishing you the best of luck with Oak Island. Your Fan, Chuck

[@khylekerry5293]

Yeah Am an Avid fan ever since the show started

[@HISTORY]

Hi Khyle! Thanks for being a Curse of #OakIsland fan!

[@hop-skip-ouch8798]

You meant something else didn't you?

[@ernieterrell2104]

My brother and I read the story 1970 in the magazine I have been enjoying the whole thing. Your a good family

[@MonicaVennell]

Thank you. I hope you have more of these Q+A sessions. A bit longer would be nice too.

[@jewell92]

I graduated from high school in 1967. I read the Reader's Digest article, also. You are living the dream of an epileptic girl, as well.

[@michaelkey9197]

greatest show on TV. thank yaw for let me and my family watch what you are doing. please don't give up. there is something there.

[@gracielacastaneda4259]

love their drive and work

[@scottbialek4671]

Mel Fisher spent years looking for the atocha, the treasure is valued at 400million. I'm sure he's glad he didn't give up.

[@lynnekendrick870]

Marty, Rick and the Fellowships: I have enjoyed watching every episodes since the very beginning. The episode where you asked Charles to put artifacts in chronicle order and your toonie/loonie On the paper was priceless. I feel you Marty when it comes to the Swamp but who knew that you would find so much information in the Swamp along with samples from Dr Spooner. Visiting Oak Island is on my bucket list and I am hoping to meet some of you during my visit. Cheers!

You guys are great! Keep up the great work, I love the show! I am a big big fan!

[@domination1985]

My question is why have I not use lidar to check out what's under the trees that would show rocks hatches everything like that that you can't see for plant cover

[@Gordonsnc]

You are both amazing people. Your crew, and everyone involved is amazing. I respect you all. I wish I could get History Channel again but I got rid of Spectrum because of cost. Now I look for your video's on you tube. # 1 on my bucket list is visiting Oak Island. Can I come?

[@clarancebarronjrofficial2507]

Bring the show back stay on that island and then read from above follow the arrows my brothers I lobe the show We love it here in Louisiana

[@omd98wlg73]

I Hope y find it. Super Doku newer miss one Episode . Greatings from Croatia!!!

[@kathyweber881]

The brothers must stay inspired we see it and know they are really inspiring thank you guys for not giving up kathy in reno

[@imxploring]

As for claims (Government or Private) on the "treasure".... you can bet that the past searchers were just as aware of the potential for their discovery to be jumped... and any discovery they made was secretly recovered and no one was the wiser. Secrercy is the best friend of any treasure hunter....

[@cipher1893]

Agreed. I believe the guy that lived on oak island and purchased all those acres was the one that found it. I forgot his name but they mention him once in a while, where else did he get all the wealth from

[@imxploring]

@@cipher1893 I think I know who you're talking about.... was it that cabbage farmer that ended up being one of the richest men in the area? I called that one a while back.... there ain't that much money in growing cabbage! LOL I bet the "treasure" (whatever it was) was found years ago and he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut!!

[@cipher1893]

imxploring yup that guy, exactly what I was thinking. Why let everyone know you found all that just so they can harass and take it away from you. Smart man .

[@bernierenshaw3257]

Did the Lagina's know that Gary was allergic to digging before bringing him on the island?? Enjoying the show and like Rick, I think the story is amazing. Continue the search. Thanks

[@danielhoogkamp1703]

My 3 brothers and I watch every week and then discuss our thoughts in a group chat. We are all obsessed! On another note as far as hobbies outside the dig I wanna see Rick take up painting and grow his hair out. I think he would do great hosting a Bob Ross style painting show. I love his passion and positive demeanor.

[@onlygazza]

Love this show and I hope you find something good cos you deserve it 👏

[@JohnCWix]

Mark, I've been watching the show for a good while! I had a thought about the snake mound and that it may be what they did to hide anything that would have left any clues on the Island of what and where they were digging. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and just had this thought I thought you might like.

[@brendadickens6044]

Love you both keep on digging

[@glendadalejones3753]

You are awesome,just simply that.... Your doing such an immensely important job and you are writing history here and you are in the history of this island for the future ...that’s a cert. great,enthusiastic and hard working team,past and present 👍

[@sharonwysocki8412]

Love your show been watching since the beginning. I can not wait until you find the history of oak island and find the treasure!!!!!

[@HISTORY]

Hi Sharon! Thanks for being a Curse of #OakIsland fan!

[@jarettpolson2631]

I'm in love with Rick what an awesome unique individual my favorite good luck guys

[@sandtowalk]

Who would have believed so many historical factions would be involved with Oak Island. It must be mind blowing too you guys. I am so glad you have brought your kinds on board to learn and get excited. Are you closer to finding the treasure fault ?

[@ThomasFlansburg]

There is an ancient Iroquois Lead mine in an area known as Klipnocky Forest near the settlement of North Almond near where I live here in Upstate New York about 90 miles southeast of Buffalo, that predates the United States by centuries. The Iroquois were hesitant in showing settlers for unexplained reasons with the riddle "Three days to and one day back". To this day only the most local of locals know its exact location. Even I don't know its exact latitude and longitude. 50 miles west of that Lead mine south of Olean, NY is a place called Rock City which is home to the oldest set of stairs in the region that predates the Iroquois Confederacy. If and when you want a change of scenery would that be something of interest to you? I wouldn't be surprised if it is somehow related perhaps indirectly to Oak Island. Love the show and hope to someday make the journey to see Oak Island for myself. I just hope that there will still be some unsolved mysteries when I get there.

[@ThatKiwiDudeTV]

So the 90foot stone said 40 feet below 2 million is buried, One would have to assume the money pit has been drilled to 130 feet and nothing found, The Laginas drilled to 171feet and found a cavern which was empty, a sea water resovior for the traps that run the island. My theory is that the freed slave guy who owned all the land found what was left after the McGuiness's took the intial chests.

[@sin-lab2791]

I wish that more men in this world like you both' would invest there wealth into the pursuits of knowledge. it is so amazing to see what answers are in our past that can shape our futures! The Beauty is knowing.!!!

[@thedude8046]

There are a lot of modern treasure hunters, and you can still find treasures that are hidden all over the world and you definitely need some big money.

[@francoisbm6785]

Really like you guys and the show! When will you get a mining permit to open pit that island?

[@derrickj127]

Rick and Marty 😂

[@geruner]

An excellent refreshing piece.

[@williamzehnpfund4280]

I just watched a article on the Templer Knights near Jerusilum On the coast they had built fortafactions and talked about tunnels being built underground heading to Jerusilum in order to capture it. you might want to look into it

[@deeadame3632]

Best on history channel now oak island family

[@The20027]

Love the show...love these two guys ....keeping going it will happen

[@HISTORY]

Hi! Thanks for being a Curse of #OakIsland fan!

[@justinamarina8192]

Great show; I like history too and reading. I'm hoping that you all find something more substantial.; I like how we're seeing how the people built the stone roads, the underground tunnels, and the signal cannon legs were found

[@charlesmartella]

More and more wood and we still can't get enough of it.

[@MrBugulNoz]

Love this show. Hopefully they will find the answer, I'm invested LOL

[@davidsoule1444]

I really love this show and at 70, I've read everything written over the years, but one thing has always bothered me in the original story... the block and tackle hanging on the branch over the "money pit." I would ask you, who would leave that valuable of a tool hanging over an elaberate hiding place that you just spent months constructing? It is the last thing you'd do. The three young men found the treasure 200 years ago and did everything possible to lead people to believe there was something still buried beneath that old oak tree. It took many men digging for months and the three young men also want us to believe that they happened to notice lights on the island only on the very last night of all those months of work? There is no major treasure left on Oak Island... it was found and removed by those three hundreds of years ago.

[@MrBugulNoz]

@@davidsoule1444 I wonder if the tunnel they dug up and found near the old man's house towards the end of the season will lead to anything other than another season of hope? I believe that the money pit is a deal end.

[@davidsoule1444]

@@MrBugulNoz It's very possible... there is probably something of value buried on the island, but the treasure has long ago become the lucrative contract with the History Channel. The brothers wouldn't still be digging if it was coming out of their pockets. Not to the degree they have been anyway. They've become the treasure.

[@fayyazmusa1454]

Fayyaz from Tanzania,east Africa...my question is do u feel any presence like paranormal while being there at oak island..I mean feeling something is watching you guys all the time...that creepy feeling...

[@tokiponafan4112]

Has the text on the document fragments ever been determined and translated?

[@tashaver4388]

I have a question for those involved with Oak Island or anyone as curious as me.....I was messing around with google earth earlier and typed in Oak Island/ money pit...and it takes me to the whole of the bay and not directly down onto Oak Island..so I was scanning around and came up on what I thought I was looking for but it was a different island...BUT, it was eerily similar to Oak Island, and it has what people refer to as an elephant's trunk but pointing out instead of curled up...and it has a "triangular shape swamp" area....maybe Oak Islands brother.....idk ....it is called "Covey's Island"....wish I could post the screenshots that I took

[@coltonburge1450]

if you look at the island on google maps Smith cove isn't where the coffer dams at.

[@Valentinegal]

Love you guys

[@HISTORY]

Hi Teri! Thanks for being a Curse of #OakIsland fan!

[@mikerobinson2201]

Hi, I love this mystery. My comment do you guys ever think that maybe over the years the amount of traffic from sailers etc. Has just ended up with the island becoming a hodgepodge junk yard. Some people found things others just left junk behind during their stay. One more thing I thought of could the swamp be a make shift drydock of sorts where it was just a good place to stop and fix their ship then going on to another place. Just my thoughts. Good luck!

[@stephenbachman132]

No one asked how much money have they sunk into the quest.

With the tv show in place they or break-even or even make a serious buck of it. Remember History is a big network and the show is known world wide. So don't care about it. Both are fine.

[@ferhatistanbul3682]

We love this show

[@HISTORY]

Hi! Thanks for being a Curse of #OakIsland fan!

[@2jzfox...]

What are the chances Samuel Ball found all the treasure.

[@Eiraart]

2jz Fox that’s what I think too - guy got rich and no one knows how

[@timredman9286]

50//50

[@18roy10jesse]

He may have found a treasure but I don’t think he ever wanted to be very obvious to attract a lot of attention. He probably made a secret tunnel underneath his house to hide a parcel of some treasure from another location. I’d be paranoid about having burglars searching my home when I’m in town.

[@marinadeoudes8082]

I believe there's a good possibility he did. As far as I know there's never been any known explanation as to how Mr. Ball acquired his wealth, so to me the logical conclusion would be he found the treasure. Of course he may have been in business and earned money and worked hard to buy the land, but wouldn't there be some sort of record of this? The show would have mentioned as much if he had.

[@terrykaracostas6631]

Do you think some of the islands around Oak Island is part of the search

[@kathyweber881]

Love the brothers and there team only but we have no choice just like brothers love you guys

[@PAPOOSELAKESURFER]

Gold fever and greed can overpower jealousy, stupidity, rudeness and eccentricity. Patience has unlimited power with the fresh scent of treasure? This puzzle was created by genius a long time ago.

[@survival_soldier]

I'm at season 3 now and I just ask myself: If the green coloured water doesn't get out of 10x, nothing comes in the 10x. So maybe if you pump out the water of 10x no water comes inside again. Pumping out water is really cheap so it would be worth a try. Sorry for my bad english.

The trees that are the “canopy oak” look remarkably like the stone pine tree in the southern Mediterranean ie. Vatican and France etc. Take a look. Drought resistant and sea salt resistant as well.

[@FlashandOz]

When Smith Cove was drained, did the water go down in the tunnels?

[@RCman16_MAAC]

News flash boys. Lots of folks saw the same readers digest story and loved the idea. THUS we are addicted! LOL

[@robertmpotter6057]

Given that the final episode revealed how much underground movement and now an unstable water table is revealed, and huge infusions of funds needed to get to any of the tunneled areas. I do not see how the fellowship of the dig can continue. The other thought I have though is unless the depositors died in the tunnel, the location of any treasure has moved...probably to South America. If the real depositors were between 1200 AD to 1700 AD what insane method was there to dig the tunnels, much less keep the tunnels from destroying everyone involved. What reinforcements, and who designed the death traps. How could any group sustain themselves given the harsh Canadian winters? What would be the budget for season 8? Sorry, I do not have magic wishes to make it happen. I hope the show continues, best regards, Robert M. Potter

[@freddyrossi4309]

From italy You are italian two! One question.....with the finds you can change history...it Will be all' occulted? At the end? The entire world must know the truth and have the opportunity to look at the tresure

Can someone from UK tell me what episode of the seson 7 is there?

[@ade-1772]

One thing I think if you believe that what is on oakisland with the templars and other information you have with oak island e.g pirates as well you might have a lot more claims for the goods then you think eg. The Vatican aswell but great show and love the history and story

[@krazyskibunney]

I think I figured out how to stop the flooding at the money pit!!

[@AndyMarin-md4sg]

Can I get in touch with oak island treasure members

[@aliengranpa]

I've got a question for them... If the swamp is man made like the evidence is showing, and the island was originally 2, how do you know your not on the wrong one?

[@burtpanzer]

Since Dan and Fred count as searchers that died, isn't it time to remove "One more must die before... " from the Intro?

[@shawnhammack5525]

If the Chapel Valt is where the treasure is, wouldn't that mean M.R. Chappel buried the treasure instead of people centuries ago?

[@docghoul5108]

I have discovered the secrets of traps that guards The money pit Mark you are right on both the swamp and the tunnels that you all discovered at the ocean side of the island

[@hoseA-sy4ld]

did you know that portugal was created by templars.and the vojages were planed there

[@desertcathunter]

When drilling with the can in the money pit they hit the cement box, it disappeared. How did it disappear? It slid beneath a hole in the bedrock. It was on a platform designed to give way when disturbed and an angled hole drilled in bedrock slid the chest to further depths. This is how it disappeared, this is why you can find no trace. This is why you have found numerous hard rock mining tools on the island. In all your exploration where have you found any tunnel in hard rock? Explain the tools, explain how the chest disappeared. I just did. The Law of Parsimony, Occam's Razor tells us to make a straight line to the most logical conclusion. In this case the straight line goes below the bedrock to a cavity where the treasure rests. My gut tells me the only way to solve the mystery is open pit mine the money pit to bed rock. I use to run a core drilling unit in a large mine. In an email I explained what you guys were doing wrong. No one emailed me back. Get the dirt out of the way, pump out the water and if it is there you will find it.

[@djules_muzik1968]

Are you the inspiration of how rick and morty got there names? 😁

[@AndyMarin-md4sg]

I may have found treasure

[@burtpanzer]

Does it worry you guys, that powerful people who are affiliated with those that put whatever it is down there, may go to some effort to prevent it's discovery?

[@ruthsanchez9207]

Why? Not use a submarine to look underneath the around the island

[@neiltibbs648]

We English are good at plundering the rest of the World. 👍

[@robertlee4382]

I want to fund 20 million to enhance the finding of the trasher

[@Aint1S]

I would assume if there were treasure there, it would more than likely be a massive pile of religious relics with no coinage. Relics from Egypt to Israel and everywhere in-between. Honestly, if someone buried a massive treasure trove, they were not concerned with coins and that seems to be a bit of an issue in how this scenario would turn out.
