Oak Island is one of my favorite shows. Maybe this year they will find the Treasure. I’m rooting for you guys. Love your show.

[@soonerjontheconservative636]

wouldn't it be a whole lot cheaper to just dig up the whole island? Start at one end and don't stop till it is all gone.

[@bonks4395]

To conduct a safe and professional job, it is impossible to dig a deep hole into unstable saturated earth. Your wet hole would require massive dewatering pumps, reinforcement to prevent wall collapse, and lots of life insurance. Certainly would lose millions in lost equipment, life, and is a waste of diesel fuel. When they do finally excavate the money pit, they'll likely freeze the ground to form a 150' wide solid earth structure OR the will dig a 90ft wide hole and pour a concrete ring as they dig down...like a nuclear trident missle silo.

[@saunsiaraybroussard9967]

Sooner Jon the Conservative: No it wouldn't be! FYI There's a curse on Oak Island and Louisiana is the only state below sea level!

[@Ac.Kelpie]

It would be, although they can’t. There’s waaayyy to many legal problems, most of the land on the island and lots of the structures are classified as “ancient landmarks” or whateve (it’s when a building/ structure is so soo old that the historical value is too much to destroy) there also a lot of tunnels and boobytraps, digging up the whole island could cause a lot of those tunnels to collapse and even some possible deaths from the boobytraps they don’t know about yet, then to top it off there also a huge risk of flooding when your digging on an island

[@Ac.Kelpie]

@@bonks4395 when they do find the money pit it’s likely they’ll use the same method they’ve used when searching in the past, similar to your concrete method but it the giant drill that adds the super heavy metal cylinders making almost a giant pipe going down

[@MrJuju69]

Can I be the quirky Brit?

[@lewisdoherty7621]

I think when they analyze the "old coin" they might find it is amazingly similar to the wheel used to turn a square shaft which is used in kerosine lanterns to adjust the wick up and down. The outside of these had ridges like a coin to make it easy for fingers to turn. These are often made of copper and brass, so not to rust. What do you use on an island where there is no electricity or before electricity was generally used? If one was digging in a pit, they could be used to provide light. Or it could be other things and maybe an exotic coin. In Britain, railways use rail chairs and screws or rail clips and screws to hold rail gauge. Gary finds a railroad spike which is used in North America to do those things and declares it is used in old wooden ships to hold planks. The North American boys go along with it.

The square hole could also be from a square nail and the coin was used as a washer. It was cheaper to use outdated currency than to buy washers, and they used what they had.

[@ElijahCrehan]

I do a lot of metal detecting in New England and from what I’ve found most holed coins don’t have them in the center. In my opinion that looks a lot like a colonial era Chinese coin. I have found them before. With the size of that hole and how square it is I feel Chinese origin is possible. I don’t understand why these guys don’t clean off the coins. All it would take is a tooth pick and some careful work to identify the coin...

ya but did anyone notice that Rick and Marty were doing the zoom meetings from the same locations before and AFTER the dive into C1? If you recorded the show like I did, go back and watch. We are being told that they had to wait to get to Canada. They held zoom meetings from Michigan in an effort to conduct and remain informed on what's going on until they "arrive". Then we were told that they could come over but had to quarantine. The dive into C1 was during their quarantine...... Rick and Marty watched the dive from their two different Nova Scotia quarantine locations........ however...... look closely. What are the odds that your zoom location in Michigan looks exactly like the quarantine zoom location in Nova Scotia?

If that coin is pre-minted in the reign of King (Han) or (Song). I don't think it exists underground to this day. It depends on the land where the coin is found. If the soil you are looking for ... is acid soil ... or it is contaminated. The coin cannot hold for more than 200 years
