What happened to “The Curse of Oak Island”? Did they find a money pit?

[@jilllucyfan7835]

When I was 11 or 12, I read an article in Readers Digest about an island with a buried treasure...Oak Island & it's potential lost treasure have fascinated me since then and I watch every episode with great delight and hope. Hats off to the Lagina brothers, their team & all of the families & friends who help them in any & every way. I watched till the end - and will continue to do so until they find whatever is down there!! #GodBless

[@Ken-mn2vy]

I was the same age Jill, I used to wonder how I could make enough money to do exactly what the brothers dig, now I think how neat it would be if I could help dig one summer, now that I’m retired.

[@luvick848]

I read an article in a readers digest booklet when I was a kid as well, I don't recall my age, but it was somewhere in the early to mid 70s 😊

[@PacificNorthwest360]

@@luvick848 I have about 100 old Hard back reader’s digest and one article is about oak island.

[@clowncarqingdao]

My auntie gave me a book on pirates for my birthday when I was about 10 and it included the Money Pit story. I thought then that someone needed to dig it up (in my imagination digging a giant crater about a mile wide). Now I would like to know more about the technology in creating the sluices and traps. As someone said in the comments, there was probably a wet or even dry dock near the swamp. Multiple uses possibly mean a long standing base or simply multiple uses over the ages. Finding the treasure (high value articles) probably won't tell us much unless there are documents we can read. I'm in it for the higher value treasure (the story). My only downside is the stupid narrating hype of every find. It's rather irritating and childish.

[@wendellrider1212]

Read the story at my grandmother’s house waiting for my mother to pick us up after grade school. Who knew? 😊

[@debrahamlin5214]

The mystery of how this elaborate pit with booby traps was built is the exciting part of this show.. even if the treasure isn’t there anymore, it was built for a very good reason.. I wish I could know why and how it was built. It’s an amazing feat in and of itself.

[@mathc1769]

literally just an old garbage dump

[@bobjohnson7207]

There developing the swamp for construction of a big house or hotel. That's why it's called a money pit.

[@clowncarqingdao]

I agree.

[@Buggabones]

@@mathc1769 For who? Why spent the time, man power, and risk getting your men injured to build any of this for garbage? What kind of self sustaining village or tribe would throw anything away? What kind of ship would stop and spend time to put anything there when you could throw it off the boat in the middle of the ocean if you didnt want anyone to find it? Doesn't make sense

[@jvaccaro2261]

I have watched each and every season, they do make progress and what they have found is amazing. It would be nice for them to find it all. I am rooting for the Laginas!

[@matthewpocock4824]

Older, yes. Wiser? Well... lol

[@jaywhoisit4863]

The location of the road remains, the jetty remains, and the swamp leads me to think it was a dry dock or shallow water ship maintenance area. That doesn’t rule out treasure or historical artifacts in any way. But flood tunnels and man made water channels with piers indicate shipping and mooring facilities. It’s a pretty interesting show nonetheless.

[@Buggabones]

Why is there no records of this place existing then? Maybe it never fully opened?

[@jaywhoisit4863]

@@Buggabones I just don’t think records were really kept back then. Sailors would have known where to go for dry dock but outside of that small circle of maritimers the knowledge is too specific.

This is one of my favorite shows and has been since day one. I have my fingers crossed for the guys and it's been a really interesting journey. The history they are finding, especially this past season is just incredible in itself, finding a treasure no matter what it is, is just icing to me. I'll be super happy for them all though, after all these years and the amount of money everyone has put into this.

[@cynthiabrooklyn6369]

I love all the artifacts that they have found. Something happened on the island for sure.

[@cassiebanks]

I have to be honest, I'm more team Rick. The things they have been uncovering make me want to know the truth about what the island was used for and the engineering involved in creating the water traps. The dating on the wood they've pulled up in so many places has a story to tell. If it's based on treasure? Sure, whatever. I get more out of it watching them interact with the people that provide professional services to them because the science of it all is interesting, especially the newer techniques they've used to dig down deep, and identify possible places where either treasure or historical artifacts may be. I can't see how the History Channel doesn't benefit from all the archeological finds the further they dig down and I'd really like to find out more about why the marsh was created as opposed to keeping a deep channel port. The story of Samuel Ball deserves some forensic discovery; if he did run two docks wouldn't there be some type of official ledgers? They should be able to find where the man got his money to discern whether it was true that he did find treasure and that's how he built his fortune. Regardless of how the treasure story pans out, there is history to be celebrated here. =)

[@jerryhaverstick5259]

I remember reading this story in Readers Digest when I was a teenager, and have watched this story up till now. They may have not found buried treasure but the story and what they have found has been worth the treasure.. I would hate to see it end with a question mark. 😕

[@UnrelatedAntonym]

The discovery of the various structures already are really fascinating. The historical finds in syructures and artifacts in the show are very interesting, would love to know the true stories of the structures they have dug up. There's some of their biases, wanting to find a treasure, and production for the show wanting to hype things as reality shows usually do. It can feel like a mix of documentary and reality show. My dad and I joke around with the "... could it be...?!" line often spoken by the narrator when he then goes through various interpretations and legends to things, when, the object could just be any ordinarily owned thing by someone on the island in the past. I imagine that if any sorta Templar legend were true, the subterranean structures would have been emptied out long ago when the island drew more attention. I'm mostly interested in the history surrounding early sea travel to the Americas and what the structures in the bay and under ground on the island are all for and how much of it is original structures and how many are searcher structures.

I want to know what the purpose of the blue hole looking feature near the "flood boxes" . I have wondered if they were to block that "blue hole" would the flooding tunnels be stopped? A hidden treasure is no good if you cant get to it later. A place right at the surface that you could dump rice or corn to form a bio plug that cuts out the water so it could be removed. Then it would degrade and disappear. That blue hole is not a natural feature. It's a kill switch
