@@johnwoa I hope so as well ... but right now, I'm pleased that they have both "found" some answers to historical questions they weren't originally even seeking, and "discovering" things that .. instead of ANSWERING questions, gave them MORE questions (a trail to WHERE? by WHOM? ... what's in the SWAMP? ... )

[@johnwoa]

@@Chelah45 Exactly! Even back in the 1990's, the Geological Survey of Canada based at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia was doing extensive research with a Government of Canada research vessel in the waters of Mahone Bay immediately adjacent to Oak island and, when they made unexpected discoveries, it raised more questions than answers. One thing the Geological Survey determined was that the sea level surrounding Oak Island is rising at the rate of 30 centimetres (12 inches) every one hundred years, so sea levels were much lower two thousand years ago and two cave/niche entrances, detected on bathymetric maps that were produced, would have been ABOVE the mean high water line allowing for access beneath the island! With the steadily-rising sea level over the millennia, everything is now completely submerged and inaccessible. Oak Island is a true enigma! Sorry so Lengthy.

@@johnwoa HAHAHA ... I wouldn't know, myself. I think I watched General Hospital for half a season, way back in the early days, and only because a daughter loved it and it was fun to talk to her about it. Ultimately, I failed to keep up. I had more interesting things going on in realtime. But as far as "so much runtime for so little discovery" on Oak Island ... I would like to suggest that you see if you can find out how much actual camera rolling goes on, for Oak Island, compared to how much of it is AIRED for us to watch. Purty sure you'd be more appreciative of how many hundreds of hours go in to taping Oak Island, compared to how many are ultimately televised. I'm betting that there is a WHOLE LOT of "tape" that we viewers never have to see, with shoveling and driving from area to area, and on and on. If you want instant gratification, go watch a cartoon. Purty sure they still do offer them.

where does bobby dazzler come from? lol stupid question

[@Chelah45]

No it isn't. I've read a few stories that used the term, over the last 69 years (since I'd turned six). I did look it up, though, to remind myself ... and it is mostly used in Great Britain and Australia. I'm glad you asked, though .. cuz it made me curious enough to look it up. The term has been around, since about 1865 to 1870. So the old books I used to read must have sometimes used that term.

This show flows like molasses in wintertime! You can miss two seasons, and be caught up with one show by the repetition of the programming. Nothing like a show, that squeezes the sponge with a vice, to get the last drop out of it! There's an island! Now how many times have we heard that? Just about as many as we have heard the flashbacks of past episodes, in the new episodes. It's not like they have 640 acres for a target! However, Montezuma's gold, is just as mysterious, go try your luck there! Whatever happens, is they finally have enough new material, that the entire episode has nothing but new footage. The sun is starting to set on my enthusiasm, for the show. Just like this was a click bait add, for viewers. Why did I click, posted one day ago. I keep forgetting one day ago, could be years, in the curse of oak island time zone. Foolish me, thinking something néw, clicking and going oh yea, that's why I don't catch every episode.

[@ankurpatel7074]

All that for a once of gold

[@johnwoa]

It wasn't an ounce. A small portion of the brooch was "gold gilded". Nothing more.

[@warriorelijah1596]

Any gold they will find is gold plated wood

[@Chelah45]

And yet, that is not what they HAVE been finding. But it very well could be that the gold that was suggested to be there in the early stories, was long ago found and spent. That doesn't matter to me. I LOVE seeing all that they've uncovered, from the fragments of hand made china, to bobby dazzlers and pottery from hundreds of years ago. I would have been totally disappointed if the Laginas had stopped after the first year. It feels like they are honoring the people who first searched for "treasure", by continuing the HARD WORK of still seeking for answers (whatever those end up being).

[@gabjen7548]

[@johnwoa]

@Barry Crump I agree with you about the brooch. The little bit of gold on it was "gold plated/gilded". Somebody wearing it accidentally dropped/lost it on the island many centuries ago. As for you knowing the outcome of this series--- IF you can tell me to what depth "exactly", IN FEET, Marty Lagina plans to excavate the Money Pit area with his "Big dig", I will believe you. You can be off by no more than five feet. I have inside information! HINT: Principles of Civil, Mining and Marine Engineering will be employed. Oh, BTW, the "Big dig" might not even be started this year (2021) because of the out-of-control health crisis in Canada with Lockdowns and the Canada / U.S. border closure continuing. It really sucks! Thank you, to the People's Republic of China for your novel coronavirus gift to the world.........

[@johnwoa]

I believe that they will eventually excavate and retrieve a tomb that has fallen into the cavern(s) below, but it might be of someone we will regret ever finding because it will alter all our beliefs and change history as we know it. The "missing" 90-foot stone found in 1804 with the symbols/inscription "face down" in the Money Pit (SOURCE: Archival records) is the telltale clue that Oak island contains a tomb!

Pretty sure you're wrong, there. For many of us, this is a bit like being able to WATCH the hard work, worry, frustration and head scratching (and occasional sudden "FINDS) that we're sure has occurred for almost every archeologist who ever uncovered a piece of history in Egypt or China ... or recently, even, in ruins buried beneath a Texas town.

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

In reality that broach would have been deeper, because of sediment and erosion

[@Chelah45]

How do you know that? I'm sure they dug much "deeper" than the few moments we had to watch, that they actually FILMED but we never saw. Do you really think that you'd rather watch every moment that has been actually filmed, for the series? I personally suspect that for every hour we are shown, there have been as much as double that amount that they toss out, and we don't see, as well as a fair amount of searching that they didn't film at all.

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

@@Chelah45 They may have dug for more than just 8 hours. The thing is land masses change due to rain. I go to a particular location, and it changes every year I go. The rock wall on the Canyon walls fall off though erosion of dirt and gravel changes well. Consider this if it's not rain, the the wind also blows in sand and it itself would cut the Canyon wall as well. The Sahara Desert 🏜 sand travels from Africa to Cuba and Florida on a Jetstream due to winds, which becomes settlement along the Atlantic Ocean. This is the Reason Atlantic Ocean is not as deep as the Pacific Ocean

[@johntinus9438]

How do they know that this is a piece of the treasure. I guess any women who lived on oak island didn't have any jewelry or only owned cheap stuff. Could it be from the money pit? If so how did it get here? Why was it found where it was now? I believe it was planted there by Gary the night before and Rick and Marty knew. They are trying to get the TV audience interested again. Is it possible that the Curse of Oak Island is just a fairy-tale? Be sure to tune in next week as Rick and the gang pull out more bits and pieces from the swamp and spend hours standing around discussing a spike that Gary just yanked from his foot.
