Do you know how many trees are on earth

[@johnnyb3884]

When is season 8 starting in Germany??

[@ibeam06]

No

[@johnwoa]

@@noahison8120 Roughly the same number as the number of raisins in a Family Size box of Post Raisin Bran.... P.S. Palm trees cannot be included in the world tree count because all species of Palms are technically members of the "weed" family.

Why has no one used Lidar technology on the island?

[@lesterma1608]

Show keeps you hanging and probably won’t find any treasure and their new treasure hunts will be the same but it’s entertaining!

[@stacysealemusicandgreenthu7078]

Agreed the show is the money pit. The story is too hollywooded up to be real

[@moonglow630]

They’ve found tons of treasure already. You just have to change your definition. Everything they pull outta the ground tells a story of what was going on on the island. The paved area & wharf area, were massive finds. What they’ve found may not have been spendable, but it’s definitely been treasure

[@nickstrickland4751]

There is no treasure on oak island

[@JohnPAdv]

I think they will unearth many wonders*just use gary everyday every inch*

[@MowenMcGuire]

The amount of work to uncover this plausible hypothesis is staggering, but fasinating.

Season 8 lmao. I live a 30 minute drive from Oak Island and nothing is happening people.

[@stacysealemusicandgreenthu7078]

@Saber SMAW Hollywood is involved its a big hoax

[@johnwoa]

@@stacysealemusicandgreenthu7078 Hollywood has only been involved with this saga for approximately the past ten (10) years out of the last 225. Oak Island is real.

[@johnwoa]

@Edward Gross Agreed! The Money Pit was originally a very deep sinkhole that apparently was connected to the underground cavern(s) that were high and dry in ancient times. Said sinkhole was backfilled with dirt and the secured oak log platforms to conceal and protect what was originally deposited below.

[@intsight4001]

it’s almost december?? Their permits for a lot of their work expire at the beginning of November. If you watched the show you would know November is when they start packing up to go. I visit the island a lot too, you can’t see much from the road anyways

[@gdeezy]

This week episode stunk more commercials than program time. These two guys inferd more from the blacksmith the what he said.

[@bryankahtava4706]

I think they should check all ant hills on the island. These ancient tunnels could lead them strait to the money pit.

[@Jamesoliver09]

[@landrews7280]

Another exciting season of Curse of Oak Island featuring too many KZbin ads and finding... nothing.

[@johnwoa]

@L Andrews Speaking of KZbin ads on these videos, the "powers-that-be" must be monitoring what we are watching on KZbin because recently on two different occasions, I was shown ads promoting the joining of the Knights Templar and an actual website was given in the ad! I was sort of shocked. We are apparently being watched by the KZbin powers-that-be!

[@johntinus9438]

That trail could be a great clue. Actually it leads around, and around, and it goes this way and that way all across the island. I wonder what it was used for?

[@stephengary1007]

I know something about this these guys would like to know i found a map an there was some things on there that was in my backyard like rocks that were placed in the shape of Triangle and next to one under it to the right of that shows the arc of the Covent my father had the well drilld right next to it and 2 more rocks to go

[@tytzup5397]

I reckon the treasure is still on the ship in the swamp. The money pit was dug to backfill the swamp.

[@Tomthestarhartnell]

If I throw garbage out there, they will have an entire season built around it

[@ronaldblackburn2483]

I know one thing these guys have made bank stringing this out .

Does anyone know if there's going to be a 2nd season of Curse of Skinwalker Ranch?

[@chriscottell6854]

@Counterpart2U why? I'd rather be at the Skinwalker ranch too experience it for myself, but it is interesting to watch.

[@XxTheAwokenOnexX]

They are getting closer, providing other tresure is not buried all over the Island lolz

[@pierceschwenk6751]

What if the money pit is really under a tree maybe the oldest one

[@jesuisunhacker9316]

super emission

[@junerobertson4389]

How come they don't get teams of people in there to dig for treasures with metal detectors....it is a big island.

[@debrataylor4375]

You know no matter if they find any treasure or not it's interesting to find out facts about our past for those of you that think it's a hoax or not that interesting or they leave you hanging stop watching

[@gdeezy]

It's a treasure hunting show. That never finds any treasure. If you wanted to know the history of Oak Island go read a book. At least it would be based in fact instead of feelings.

[@johnrenk4721]

8 seasons of the same thing, rich guys playing in a sandbox. Discovery Channel quit showing this show after this year it's played out

[@officialWWM]

Gary needs subtitles!

[@s.o.s.exploration2412]

Why haven't they ran ground Penetrating radar throughout the whole island yet? I kno they have done some sections but common. Wouldn't the best way 2 hide something is to say hey go into this area with constant water table issues while we hide it over here. Hence why the guy who lived on another section would randomly go around the island checking different areas. N yet he managed to show more wealth when he left and I don't see a way he could have earned extra scratch in that environment...

[@tallyhorizzla3330]

LIDAR the island

Do u know how many trees there are

Where?

[@michaelnocera7147]

Don't be harsh they also found logs and rust.

[@garryfabac217]

Lol, he said "crack rock"

[@johnwoa]

@Garry Fabac Listen to it again! Archaeologist David MacInnes says "... fire crack rock". The term is actually "fire-cracked rock" and is rock of any type that has been altered and split as the result of deliberated heating and is often found in archaeological sites worldwide.

[@xx444xx]

Crackhead 😂

Wow! A new episode of full of shxt fantasy island! Awesome.

The Laguna brothers are geniuses. They actually made a series popular peddling this trash.

[@user-by6ct6br4s]

They have milked this show so much they ripped the cow's teet off!

[@johnwoa]

@1 7 Those were oxen shoes--- not from cows. As for this show being milked for all it's worth, Health Canada has assured everyone that no dairy cows were harmed in the milking process to prolong this Reality TV show.

[@michaelnocera7147]

Lol

[@fioname3495]

So..... they do realise there is technology that allows people to see the surface (and possible underground targets) without all the vegetation on the picture ? Seriously up your game or go home - this series has gone on way too long without a substantial find.

[@MurrayBayes]

The shovel keeps changing handle s could it be haunted?????

[@johnhanson403]

At 2:56 you can see Jack holding 2 different shovels, but being haunted would make it more exciting.

[@johnwoa]

LMAO!!! Oak Island definitely has had paranormal and unexplained occurrences over the years. Jack Begley's shovel handle could be one of those occurrences! I think it deserves further investigation by History Channel.

[@johnhanson403]

They are getting closer every day . Honest , lol .

[@saind4170]

Be better off looking for Jesus right about now, at least it fresh!

[@johnwoa]

@Sain D You unknowingly might be on the right track! Nobody really knows what they are looking for on Oak Island and for all we know, the Money Pit (i.e. the alleged "Chappel Vault" adjacent to the underground cavern) could contain an elaborate ossuary with the human remains of Jesus of Nazareth. Now, that would be the kicker!

[@stephenbachman132]

Since you have direct contact with Rick and Marty Lagina. Ask them why they have done 0 work at borehole H8 the money pit treasure shaft. Do they not want to find priceless treasure. Or do they hope someone else will find it. Because to me after all the money they have spent seems really stupid they aren't going to be digging at the money pit site.

[@johnwoa]

Great comment! Not to worry, "someone else" is not going to "find it" because Oak Island is private property and the Laginas own a huge portion of it along with Tom Nolan. An Oak Island "insider" stated last year that "they" have a pretty good idea of what Oak island is all about and what is buried/entombed deep beneath the island. That information has not been made public at this point. Personally, I believe that "they" probably are not pursuing work at Borehole H8 or Borehole 10X because to do so might solve the Oak island mystery and this MONEY MAKING top-rated Number One History Channel show would end........

[@gdeezy]

There's nothing there.

[@JayB-ju9vc]

The dad is worth 100 million and The son is worth 50 million dollars the guys on that island put together is about half a billion

[@johnwoa]

In other words, they cumulatively can afford to do the proposed Big Dig in order to solve the Money Pit riddle.

[@SouthJerseySasquatch]

@@jamiesmith81b4u You know, there was others before these nitwit entertainers and the show?

[@SouthJerseySasquatch]

@@jamiesmith81b4u The topic is throwing money at a myth while actually making none. If they are making a "boat load" of money from being on a cable tv show, then why do they need financial backing? Not only that, but they aren't the first to find nothing while spending millions. Are you that much a fan boy to not realize their whole enterprise is deep "in the hole" financially?

[@DukeJimbob]

Rick needs to call on some of you experts. I've never understood why people watch shows that they think is fake or just awful. I like the show but there's some annoying stuff just like any other show. The narrator is the worst part explaining everything like we're 10 years old but there's some interesting stuff also.

[@Op1zilla]

Baaaa humbug, I would've stopped wasting my money on the money pit long ago an been medal detecting and digging the old sites and around swamp, money could've went much further
