The Curse of Oak Island: Season 10, Episode 4 Explained

[@brennenmichelin9790]

You should really consider keeping these videos going. For most seasons; higher viewership is usually at the start and end, this season will probably be more gradual. They have a lot of interesting episodes that we can see will eventually happen. I can only assume that it will pick up later on this year and your previous episodes will grow with this gradual viewership. Thanks for the videos

[@aaronandrews3059]

I look forward these videos each week. You should be part of the team that makes the tv show. You explaine things with so much detail and don't repeat the same things over and over just to fill time. Thank you for your efforts.

[@johnwoa]

If he was "part of the team that makes the tv show", the producers would stifle him and only permit him to say what they want to be revealed to us "lowest common denominator" viewers. He wouldn't be able to go into the research depth that he is doing regarding inconsistencies in the show.

[@theturquoisedream9244]

Yes!

[@jordanjones2094]

Don’t stop telling the Oak Island story. The fact is, I’m invested. I’m invested in the story and the lore. Although I do agree with you that the show has been a little drab. Unfortunately I can’t afford cable but even when I did I still watched your video. Very nice work. No matter thank you for telling the story.

[@battygirlrachel]

Thanks for looking into the garden shaft thing. They didn't really talk much about it previously and it was unclear when exactly they did... I figured it was footage that never made it to the show (since they have to cut so much out and don't show everything) but it could be it was shown but didn't get enough air time for us to know that that was what it was.

[@johnwoa]

Speaking of footage that wound up on the cutting room floor, how about the VERY RELATIVE AND IMPORTANT revelation that the fragment of human bone that was found at a depth of 170 feet that was from the person from the Middle East was that of a FEMALE. This was not shown in a mainstream episode but was "buried" in the middle of one of the show's Specials that maybe a lot people didn't bother to watch. That really irked me as that might have shed some real light on the Oak Island mystery, but this Reality TV show is not about getting definitive answers or solving the Oak Island mystery.

[@steveingersoll650]

Thank you for making the video. I must admit I am a little disappointed that these will be ending. I've only recently started following these videos for updates. The History Channel really drags out each episode, its nice get a straight forward summary

[@thormusique]

Thanks so much for making another video. At the risk of repeating myself, I enjoy your synopses even more than the show. Cheers!

[@stewartdalton3298]

Still hoping you will continue to do these videos as I appreciate your time and effort. This series has always intrigued me and I hope one day will be solved. Thanks 👍

[@CalvinYzerman]

Your productions are first rate. I hope they continue.

[@billcorley6339]

I've been a subscriber for a few years now and it was because of your Oak Island series that I found your channel and enjoyed many hours of your documentaries. I fully understand the aggravation of not seeing the fruits of your labor when it comes to views and such but I hope you continue to produce some type of show to make sense of all the boredom those producers put out every week.

[@igorslocks]

Honestly, anything you do is much appreciated. You are one of the few I've got notifications on. Thanks for all your efforts

[@ES-zx6zj]

Thank you for making these videos on Oak Island. These videos are the reason I found your channel.

[@doreenstroud5764]

Please keep doing these videos, they are a great recap of the show and I like how you break things down. You do an excellent job at researching and explaining.

[@vondonks]

in many ways, your videos about the show are better than the show itself. it would be a shame if you stopped making them.

[@alfy709]

Thanks for the video. I recall the brothers mentioning the shaft at the end of the season in the post season Digging Deeper with Matty Blake. During the season you could see the shaft covered off with construction fencing. Matty asked about it and the brothers took him over to it. Again, thanks for your hard work with these videos.

[@sewalkerdesign]

I really enjoy your episode breakdowns. They help my understanding of important details I miss on the show.

[@Pigeonne]

so i was right. season 2 they build that "stone garden" , it catchend my eye at the drone footage they did from time to tome. this thing smells fishy. they were so fascinated by it in the beginning, but never took a 2nd look. ok. at least YOU document all the inconsistencies of the show. you have my gratitude for that. please consider doing more videos. maybe at least a Season recap ?

[@johnwoa]

It was the same thing with Borehole 10X. The sonar imagery showed what it showed despite what the diver stated on the show and they all walked away from Borehole 10X never to return. Did you notice how upset Dave Blankenship was? He left the show shortly after. With this Reality TV show, when they appeared very close to getting definitive answers regarding the mystery, they walk away and pursue something else. Milk this show for all it is worth!

[@chalfontstgiles4307]

Your narration is fantastic. I truly appreciate the effort that you put into producing these videos, as with all your work, thoroughly enjoy them.

[@RayOtt-xe8ud]

Keep ir up. Your lucid commentary is invaluable. We get it that there is a good deal of interesting stuff going on that the show's producer oversimplifies or filters out altogether, but you help us figure out what it is.

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank again for caring about us. We appreciate your dedication and effort required to develop this series.

[@playbluesman1]

Thanks for your research and all the new information you provide weekly. It really helps to find details that the show doesn’t tell. Great content.

[@tocooh6838]

Please keep this series of videos coming.

[@crimsonffire]

I really enjoyed your take on this and how you presented it. Sad to hear you won't be making more, I had recently started watching these videos on the oak island topic, because I got bored of them always repeating the same things over and over on the show. I prefer your take on it so much more. Thank you for making them if you are to stop . Know your time and effort on the subject was appreciated.

[@wtgs7231]

Thank-you so much your hard work. We appreciate all that you do!

[@blythetretick7081]

Thank you for another episode. Before finding your organized synopses the show amounted to endless bits and pieces. Your graphics are elegant and your historical theory episodes should be used in history classes.

[@jenniferlonnes7420]

Endless is right.

[@chrisclark7367]

Great content, as always. I love the summaries and the graphics. I am an “acorn”, loving all of this Oak Island information, as I am old enough to have recalled the Readers Digest article from the 1965. I hope your content continues and I am appreciative of your efforts!

[@SVMSICE]

I really like these videos, I won't waste time watching the actual show anymore. I understand though if you don't get the views no sense in taking the time it takes you to make these videos. I know you'all put in a lot of time to make a good video, the editing process is long and tedious. Whatever you decide I support your decision, I love your channel, keep up the good work brother! To people reading this comment, if these videos go away the best way to watch the show is skip to the last 5 or 10 minutes of the show and they pretty much recap the whole thing, that's how I used to watch it until I found these videos. I can't stand how Discovery and History make these kind of shows. They repeat the same thing over and over again to fill time I guess. They just make up soooo many things as well like Gold Rush, those people aren't actors and when they get into the drama you can tell it's all scripted out for them. I just can't stand it and don't watch hardly any of their content anymore.

[@gunnerb3874]

Another brilliant episode, I love the way you present it...keep up the good work 👏🏼

[@durbanbudz]

Thank you for your informative work on the Oak Island series, I prefer your explanation over actually watching the series.

[@skipsarasin4081]

Please keep doing these. God Bless

[@jordanjones2094]

I believe Billy Gerhardt designed and came up with the idea for the Garden. Think so. Great show

[@ShrequilleCartwheel]

Don't stop I just found you. Informative stuff that every Oak Island fan needs

[@karrskarr]

Another amazing clear, and concise production of narratives, and illustrations! A true master of both current, and historical orations. Much appreiciations! LIKE

[@jackk8422]

Thank you for making these videos

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep these videos coming. I was wondering about the garden shaft as well and found nothing on it. You research and the Way you present with your graphics gives me a MUCH betting understanding of things happening on the island.... thanks.

[@winstonsmith2237]

Well done Brother, folks been searching for 225 years... but ACORNS will surely find you have returned to KZbin... be patient and thank you!

[@sharonh667]

I just found your videos and really appreciate them. I moved to a rural area a year ago and am unable to get cable so this is my way to keep up with the show. I too enjoy the extra history you insert and the repetition you leave out. Thank you for your efforts and I sincerely hope you will continue.

[@theturquoisedream9244]

Thank you so much for covering the Oak island expeditions. It is very much a history of the search, and your input and deductions are always appreciated. 👍

[@xavierrogers8124]

Your Oak Island videos are amazing. Pls dont stop them.

[@samk3lly]

I enjoy your videos. I hope that you continue these oak island videos, but I understand if you don't continue them.

[@zanlooney343]

It would be ironic if they found the shaft leading to the treasure years and millions of dollars ago. Perhaps they thought they would simply drill through the treasure and bring it up as a core sample.

[@mbjames119]

Dude. Your so great at making and re capping the show. It helps me to understand the program so much better. Thank you fir your hard work. Please keep it up.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I love how this is more entertaining than the show :P

[@TheBrentJS]

I understand why you have to stop -- time is money, after all! -- but these are awesome videos! Thanks for doing one last one for us fans!

[@somechrisguy]

I watched every episode of your analysis before I'd ever even seen the TV show. Your videos are much better. We'd really appreciate if you finished the season at least!

[@R0MO911]

Hey man, I like all of your content. You do you

[@chasjetty8729]

Thanks friend. I really appreciate the work.

[@bobgreenhalgh7324]

Thank you very much, I enjoy your stories all the time , keep up the great work God Bless.

[@robertbellamy2292]

I discovered your channel via the oak island content a while ago. Think iv watched all of your content since then. Thanks!

[@SR20isKing]

Thank you so much for another oak island video! Please keep it going.

[@AnArmAndAGreg]

Only ... 1 more? I love this series, and I don't even watch it on TV.

[@awesomeatronik]

Yes!! I'm just a casual viewer and I was like, garden shaft? What garden shaft, when I first saw it.

[@johnwoa]

I've been following the Oak Island mystery since 1962 and I also had never heard of a "Garden Shaft". This Reality TV show is "Entertainment" and NOT a Documentary on the subject. This show clearly only tells the viewer what they want to disclose in order to prolong this show for all it is worth. It is frustrating as this show is not about getting answers or solving the Oak Island mystery. That would essentially end the show and no one up there would be making any more money.......

[@canadianmmaguy7511]

@@johnwoa it's run by masons lol

[@awesomeatronik]

@@johnwoa yes, I've always thought that if they actually found anything would we even be told? Especially if it is something "crazy weird" . The best disinformation would be to keep the show going and keep acting like nothing is there.

[@johnwoa]

@@awesomeatronik When you say something "crazy weird", you hit the nail on the head! There have been too many things (i.e. aspects) about Oak Island that would dictate whatever happened there occurred in ancient times and possibly Biblical in nature. When it was disclosed by that forensic scientist on a 'CoOI Special' that the bone fragment brought up from a depth of 170 feet that was from a person from the Middle East was that of a FEMALE, that proved to me that Oak Island is bigger than anyone could imagine and that the "powers-that-be" are keeping a lid on whatever is there so as to not cause widespread geopolitical problems. Rick Lagina himself said somewhere on TV a couple years ago that they have a pretty good idea of what Oak Island is all about. But they sure aren't volunteering any of that information to us viewers. If what they discover would change world history, it will never be revealed. Somebody A LONG, LONG TIME AGO went to an awful lot of trouble to conceal something deep underground at Oak Island that clearly was never meant to be retrieved. It is not treasure per se. I have believed since the late-1990's that it is a tomb.

[@awesomeatronik]

@@johnwoa unless they discover a lost native settlement, I don't think we will ever know whats down there. The Canadian government has jurisdiction over anything found, and if it's something esoteric or history bending it's never seeing the light of day. Of course the powers that be might have known what's buried on oak Island all along and this is an ingenious way of getting it back "oh hey we're documenting everything, nope we didn't find anything, you saw it all on camera! bye" You are probably right about it being a tomb, but I like the idea that pirates put something there, but already took it out over a hundred years ago, and it really is a money pit. The irony would be pretty funny.

These videos just get better & better. Thanks for continuing this far!

[@lsantang]

im sorry your numbers are down but i suspect the interest in the show will ebb and flow .. keep up the great work if your time permits. im sure it will pay off i seem to remember an excavation being discussed previously the vid rings a bell but there has been so much done maybe even the show runners are confused in the dates.

[@rextex4222]

Thank you so much for the Oak Island up dates.

[@lef1970]

It was this series that got me to subscribe to your channel - I just don’t pay much attention to the show for the first few episodes of the season.

[@RustyNipples]

Love your Videos, so glad you are continuing (I hope). We watch each episode on Sunday evenings, then watch your explanation the next night. There's always something we missed the first time. Thankyou for your efforts.

[@leewebb7]

I like watching these better than the actual show.....its short and to the point...

[@JustMeAndThePossums]

Thank You for the "What Garden Shaft" segment! I was also wondering how I forgot about it when Mr. Clotworthy was talking about it - it's good to know that I wasn't the only one. (Maybe it was because new episodes are no longer written by the late Kevin Burns, who wrote the first 7-8 seasons of the show.) I have noticed the rock garden in the past few years. While there was a good intention behind it, I really would have hesitated to build a rock garden in the Money Pit area until long after all was known about Oak Island because so many people will see it and assume that it was an original depositor or early searcher structure.

[@viktorino1980]

Thanks for you vídeo 😌

[@chadhansen2959]

Thanks for your work. Appreciate it.

[@megara4068]

I only found your channel and video summaries of the Curse of Oak Island (which I don't have access to) quite literally today. I understand if you don't continue making these videos, but I hope you do. Cheers.

[@768h6]

Finally someone took the torch! Thank you so much for summarizing! Keep on!

Thank you for your excellent work. Always very well done.

[@marianleblanc130]

Wow thank you for all your fabulous research. I really appreciated all the effort you put into this video 😘🇨🇦

[@lsj1]

Thanks, Hammerson, for these videos. This one in particular I found especially interesting as I, too, don’t recall hearing of the Garden Shaft until Season 10. I’m a bit obsessed with Oak Island (not to the point of writing books and making videos about it haha) so I tend to check it out on Maps and the appearance of the rock garden terraces puzzled me. I hadn’t seen any reference to that construction. If you are so inclined, please keep making these Oak Island videos. Might not have huge numbers viewing, but I’m sure those who do watch appreciate them as much as I do.

[@jimb2692]

Awesome keep up the good work

[@geraldcharles1624]

[@andrewoberle8288]

I am not a “watched every episode guy” but I New they never mentioned “the Garden shaft”! I have checked in on every season as they aired.

[@djohnson4274]

Thank you for another Great Summation of S10 Episode 4! You do... "Do" a better job explaining things than the show itself! I thought there was something wrong with me for not remembering any previous years discussions of the Garden Shaft. I find it somewhat curious why they never investigated this sooner. It seems a "no brainer" to me... Thanks again for another GREAT Explanation!!!

[@jeffnelson2197]

Thank you. I love these short videos

[@anthony_atx]

I am new to watching your videos. I very much appreciate the effort you have put into these. These are very interesting summaries of the show. In many ways I believe your videos are a bit more interesting than the show itself. You make clear and concise what the show leaves obscure. The graphics you provide give clarity. This video is a great example of how you are providing clarity to a subject i.e. "The Garden Shaft", which the show itself glossed over in a previous episode several seasons back and never really offered any satisfying explanation on the subject. Thank you for what you are doing. I hope you continue. I will be here to watch!

[@mhennigan2]

Saw my first video, please keep up the good work. I will watch next week

[@kjbennett7858]

The garden shaft IS the money pit and they've known that since 2017. They wanted to stretch this thing out for at least 10 seasons. This is just my opinion so understand it as such.

[@randr2141]

Keep these coming, I love the Oak island series but can’t follow the it when it’s on tv. Never heard of the Garden shaft either.

[@deborahnotto5149]

You do such a good job! Thank you!

[@raymooney6506]

You do a better job than they do in the war room keep it up also remember when drilling near it the where getting air bubbles or circulation of water at the top of the garden shaft.just really hardbto thing no one ever tried to figure it out. 🤔 thanks for the great info

[@bobjohnson7207]

I like Oak Island the only place in earth where water flows uphill. Anyways they didn't find any treasure this year. Looks like there giving us the shaft.

[@oldcousinfrenchman3911]

Thanks HP Please keep em up!

[@winstonsmith2237]

Where does garden shaft overlay on grid map with other known shaft locations? Seems like it is close to Chappel vault area?

Awesome 👌 greT work Mr hamerson

[@TheSawGerrera]

Glad to see these, you wrap it up so well 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I dont even watch the show. Just your videos on it from time to time. I would probably be even more interested if a wild man or fairy people appeared in this story.

[@rockhardlyable]

Very well done! Thank you

[@En_Marche]

While Oak Island isn’t my thing, I’d watch a Hammerson Peters video on grass growing or how to boil water, fully assured I’d learn something interesting!

[@mokajoe7727]

I, for one, would love to see more of these reviews! keep it up HP, but if its not worth the squeeze id respect your decision. cheers

[@fourshore502]

John Godwin wrote that given the apparent size and complexity of the pit, it was probably dug by French Army engineers hiding the treasury of the Fortress of Louisbourg after British forces captured the fortress during the Seven Years' War.[69] i think thats the best theory.

[@ibisrox1]

I like this becae I don't have TV and I can't follow the show but you're really doing awsm for me and I hope you keep doing this but I understand if you stop

[@meowme7644]

thank you!

[@jcr6540]

Great, thanks

[@ignachioelsmith9053]

Thank's for this update.

[@fourshore502]

one thing i find astounding is that they barely speak about the fact that nova scotia, and by extension oak island, was the very forefront of the wars between the french and the british for more than 50 years in the 1700s. especially interesting are queen annes war 1702-13, king georges war 1744-48 and father le loutres war 1749-55. this happens to be exactly the time that most of the finds on oak island are from. this leads me to believe that oak island could have been some sort of secret military cache possibly? a lot of the finds in previous seasons point to a military presence even perhaps the early stages of a fort that perhaps was abandoned when the winds of war turned or when they decided that it was not a good spot for a permanent military installation? is the french/british thing still a sensitive issue in canada or why do they not get into the details about the wars? they are only mentioned somewhat in passing and most of the focus is elsewhere. it seems to me the french/british wars are a lot more relevant to the mystery than any nonsense about templars or even the pirate theories. the reason i say that is that i find it hard to believe that pirates would have been able to construct tunnels underground. if there were tunnels dug the only ones who could have done it would have been military engineers. also, why bother? unless you are fighting a long war, then it makes more sense for grand, secretive construction projects. now did pirates make use of these constructions later after the war was over? well possibly especially since a lot of pirates were ex-navy so they may well have been part of the military force on the island. but that pirates themselves constructed everything is very unlikely if you ask me, especially if the "flood tunnels" are true.

[@mylesjacobs2298]

Thanks for this. I canceled my cable, this is my show now.

[@jenniferlonnes7420]

I'd rather watch these recaps than the show itself.
