Please cancel this stupid show. History channel used to be awesome now it's all weird reality TV. Why don't you make the show after they actually find something. If I want to watch construction I'll just go to work

[@jeremysmith179]

@@jonathanperry8331 I agree totally

[@desertgecko4549]

@@jonathanperry8331 and @Jérémy Smith, THC is doing a fine job of balancing history with entertainment. As for Oak Island, we're watching history unfold. If you don't like it, watch something else.

[@grimreefer8561]

Somebody is wasting a mass amount of funds on this money pit!

[@desertgecko4549]

@@grimreefer8561 A waste how? By investigating multiple tales of riches, by following increasingly curious clues, and by entertaining millions with this show, are the Laginas and the show's producers doing us a disservice? Of course not. This is not a waste of resources. Dozens are directly employed, many more are indirectly and at least partly supported, and millions are entertained by these endeavors. We might learn much from what discoveries lie ahead. Meanwhile, some of us enjoy a good mystery, and we enjoy watching parts of the mystery deepen, even as other parts are answered. My 80-year-old mother enjoys the show as one of her favorites. The History Channel canceled the only other TV show we both liked: _Project Blue Book,_ so I'm glad we still have this show to watch -- together, occasionally -- and to talk about.

looks like a counter weight for measuring precious metals on a scale

[@paulad.4578]

My thoughts too.

[@TechWithSean]

Yep, the '5' is probably the unit of measure (grams, ounces, etc.)

[@needmetal3221]

Good call

I thought blasting plug but that makes way more sense

[@nexminute9880]

I thought weight too, or maybe a stamp for pressing hot wax to seal letters etc... but a weight I lean more toward LoL

[@XxTheAwokenOnexX]

After all the work done in the Swamp, and on Oak Island, there is no way there is just one moneypit of treasure waiting to be found, and i hope the fellowship find several moneypit sites on Oak Island. I can't wait for season 9.

[@jeepdude7359]

I really don’t care that this show has dragged on for seven years. I really don’t care if they find anything. Creating an accurate historical timeline of everything that has taken place on that little island is worth its weight in gold.

I have also been fascinated by Oak Island for as long as the Lagina brothers. They have been making some interesting finds all over the island and surrounding water. Whether or not they find the money pit, they have already found treasure.

[@wesleyswaters8643]

This had to be what the Templars used as a counter weight for the all treasure's they brought over. Iys definitely not a piece of cut hot roll steel that could of been used by one of the 400 other individuals who have stabbed a shovel into the island. It would be crazy to think that.

[@vedantpratik9352]

That is used to measure weights in earlier times. Hope this information might help you. Might be gold be weighted by using this weight. 👍

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

I love how these guys went from an amateurish dig operation to a full-on professional archaeological expedition. This is how science works. Very amazing show. Id love to participate in something like this.

I am still waiting for the full episode on youtube again!i have bought the 8th season and every week you guys deliver the episode days or weeks late... I won't ever buy the show again thats it! I know a lot of people that are saying that you are milking this serie... i know its impossible for them to conclude the research... but you know whats possible in 2021 providing the service i am paying for!

[@camperbum]

I think the road leads to the dump, where all the dirt and broken stuff from the tunnels and caves were haul to, it had to go somewhere, so it helped to bury the ship also...🤔

[@markstrow6992]

Sounds plausible, back in the day they saw the harbor was filling in with organics, silt ect, so they turned it into a bug dump.
