Oak Island has been subject to many rules
and permits. However, the U.S. government can only control what information comes in and
out of Oak Island to a certain point. Recently, they have had to let a lot of information
leak out of Oak Island. The self-named "fellowship of the dig," which is made up of
the Lagina brothers, their family, friends, and other treasure hunters who want to solve the
Oak Island riddle, carefully records what they learn about what is hidden on the island. With
ea
ch discovery, it becomes harder to tell if the island has been visited by foreign soldiers,
strange people, or just regular tourists with hidden goals and plans. Let us take you to the
truth about the island and the legendary wealth that Captain Kidd hid hundreds of years ago!
Alright, let's dive into the action at the Money Pit area of Oak Island! Picture
this: we're at a depth of about 80 feet, and the team's using a massive hammer grab tool
to scoop out some spoils from the TF1 shaft. Van
essa and Andrew are scratching their heads over
this. "Weird as hell," Vanessa says. So what's the plan? Well, they decide to drop a hammer grab
tool down there a few times and see if they can dislodge whatever's causing the blockage.
And wouldn't you know it, on the third drop, they hit the jackpot! There's this massive
boulder down there with a drill hole in it. Now, that's not something you see
every day, right? But hold on, there's more. They also find... wait for it...
a boot! Yeah, yo
u heard that right. A boot, buried over 80 feet deep in the TF1
shaft. Talk about a surprising discovery! Now, the big question is, how did that boot
end up down there? Could it be from a previous treasure hunter? Or maybe even someone who
was digging around here over a century ago? The team's buzzing with excitement, especially
when they find out that the boot's from a Canadian rubber company dating back to 1908-1909.
That's a blast from the past, isn't it? But here's where it gets excitin
g. Turns out,
back in 1909, a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt (yep, the future US president!) was
involved in a big excavation project around here. They thought they were onto the
Money Pit, but no such luck. However, they did find some gold shavings
during their drilling efforts. So, could this boot be linked to FDR's
expedition? It's got the team thinking they might be onto something big here. And
with the possibility of uncovering deeper secrets buried beneath Oak Island,
they're not giving up anytime soon. As the sun begins to set over Oak Island,
the atmosphere crackles with anticipation and intrigue. The discovery of the boot
buried deep within the TF1 shaft has ignited a renewed sense of purpose among the
team members. They gather around the site, exchanging theories and speculations, their
excitement palpable in the cool evening air. For Vanessa and Andrew, uncovering the boulder
with the drill hole feels like uncovering a piece of history. It's as if t
hey're
peeling back layers of time, inch by inch, revealing secrets long forgotten. They marvel
at the craftsmanship of the drill hole, wondering about the hands that once wielded
the tools that carved it into the rock. Meanwhile, Billy and Harry examine the boot with a
mix of curiosity and awe. It's not just any boot; it's a tangible link to the past, a relic from
a bygone era. As they carefully brush away the dirt and debris, they can't help but imagine the
stories it could tell if only
it could speak. Over by the excavation site, Martin
and Doug share a moment of reflection. The discovery of the boot has reignited
memories of past expeditions and failed attempts to unlock Oak Island's secrets.
But this time feels different. This time, they can sense they're onto something significant,
something that could rewrite the history books. As night falls and the team prepares to
call it a day, Rick addresses them with a sense of determination in his
voice. "We're not giving up,"
he declares, his words echoing through the
darkness. "The proof is down that hole, and we're not going to stop until we
figure out what it has to tell us." And so, with the boot in hand and the
promise of new discoveries on the horizon, the team heads back to camp, their minds
buzzing with excitement and possibility. Tomorrow is a new day, another chance
to unlock the secrets of Oak Island and rewrite the story of its mysterious
past. Who knows what wonders await them as they continue the

As the sun dips below the horizon, the Oak Island team's focus remains
steadfast on the excavation of the B4C shaft. There's a tangible sense of anticipation in
the air, mingled with a hint of nervousness. Each scoop of soil brings the possibility
of uncovering something extraordinary—a treasure chamber, an ancient artefact, or
perhaps even the fabled Money Pit itself. Rick's voice carries a note of hope as
he expre
sses his wish to see mud soon, echoing the sentiments of the entire team. For them, the sight of mud would signal progress—a
step closer to unlocking Oak Island's secrets. The B4C shaft, located just
five feet north of borehole C1, is poised to reach the approximate
90-foot depth where earlier evidence of wooden tunnels and high traces
of silver and gold were discovered. This tantalizing discovery has fueled
speculation that they may have located the original Money Pit or a tunnel
leading
to an offset treasure chamber. As the excavation continues, the
team's excitement mounts with each passing moment. Every scoop of soil brings the
possibility of uncovering a long-lost treasure, a relic from the past that could rewrite history. Jack and Gary's discovery of bits of
wood and a large iron fastener adds to the intrigue, hinting at the presence of
structures hidden deep within the earth. The crude craftsmanship of the iron fastener
suggests an age predating the Money Pit's discov
ery, sparking speculation
about its origins and purpose. However, the team's excitement is tempered
by a startling turn of events as bedrock is encountered at a depth of approximately
130 feet in the B4C shaft. It's a sobering realisation that they may be nearing the
end of their current excavation efforts. Despite this setback, Rick remains resolute, expressing his belief that they're close to
uncovering the original Money Pit. His words echo the sentiments of the entire team, who
refuse

sca
n to obtain more detailed information. During the subsequent meeting in the war
room, the experts present their findings, indicating that the parchment likely consists of
a cellulose-type product rather than animal skin. They also identify high-density areas, possibly
indicating the presence of iron-based ink. The discovery of blue and green
blobs on the parchment leads to speculation that it may have been coated with wax, a common practice for moisture resistance,
possibly used for wrappin
g explosives. Drawing on historical records, the
team discusses the use of dynamite in the Money Pit in 1909 by Franklin
Roosevelt's Old Gold Salvage Company. They speculate that the small fragments of gold discovered earlier may have been the result of
dynamite explosions near the treasure cache. Overall, the team is encouraged by the
progress in analysing the parchment and its potential implications for their
ongoing search for treasure on Oak Island. They express gratitude to the
expert
s and eagerly anticipate further exploration based on
the new information provided. The Legendary Portuguese Templar Cannon

The journey of Rick Lagina, his nephews Peter and Alex, and Oak Island
historian Doug Crowell to Povoa de Lanhoso, Portugal, marks a pivotal moment in their
quest to unravel the mysteries of Oak Island. Invited by researcher Corjan Mol, they embark on an investigation to uncover
potential links between the Knights Templar, sp
ecifically the Knights of Christ, and
several discoveries made on Oak Island. Their exploration begins at the
historic church of Fontarcada, believed to be the earliest land granted
to the Knights Templar in Portugal. Here, they delve into the rich history of the
Templars in Portugal, tracing their arrival during the Crusades and the significant role
they played in shaping the region's history. Through discussions with local experts, including
historian Joao Fiandeiro, they uncover tantali
sing connections between Templar symbolism and
the enigmatic discoveries on Oak Island. As they examine the intricate symbols
adorning the walls of the 12th-century church, they stumble upon a remarkable revelation:
a symbol matching one found on the legendary 90-foot stone, a crucial artefact
associated with Oak Island's mysteries. This discovery ignites speculation
about the origins of the stone and its possible ties to the
Knights Templar in Portugal. The team's investigation takes them
to
the town square of Tomar, the Templar city where Gualdim Pais established the order's
headquarters after returning from the Holy Land. Here, amidst the sun-drenched streets and
historic landmarks, they delve deeper into the Templar legacy, seeking clues that
could shed light on Oak Island's secrets. The journey to Tomar underscores
the significance of the Templars in Portuguese history and their potential
influence on the mysteries of Oak Island. With each revelation and discovery,
Ri
ck Lagina and his team inch closer to unravelling the centuries-old enigma that
has captivated explorers and historians alike. In essence, their expedition to Portugal
represents a pivotal chapter in the ongoing saga of Oak Island, weaving
together threads of history, mystery, and intrigue as they seek to uncover the truth
hidden beneath the island's storied shores. In Portugal, the Templars faced persecution
and the official dissolution of their organisation in 1317, following King
Philip
and the Pope's actions in 1307. However, it is believed that several hundred knights managed to escape
with their sacred treasures. Some fled to Scotland, while
others returned to Portugal, where they were rebranded
as the Knights of Christ. Under the leadership of Portuguese King
Denis, the Templars were seamlessly integrated into the Order of Christ,
complete with a new name and emblem. The Order of Christ adopted a distinctive
cross symbol, featuring flattened edges and a smaller cross
in the centre, as
opposed to the traditional Templar cross. This new symbol adorned various artefacts, including the shields of
knights and the sails of ships. Over time, the cross emblem evolved, with the elongated version becoming
associated with the Order of Christ. Rick Lagina and his team contemplate the potential
significance of this cross symbol in relation to Oak Island's Nolans Cross, a megalithic
formation discovered by Fred Nolan in 1981. They note striking similarities between
the elongated stem of the Templar cross
and the proportions of Nolan's Cross. This observation sparks speculation about
a possible connection between Portugal and Oak Island, suggesting that Nolan's Cross could be a representation of the symbol for
the Portuguese Knights of Christ. As the team continues their investigation in the
triangle-shaped swamp area, they uncover a diverse array of artefacts, including ship spikes,
wolf pins, pieces of wood from sailing ships, and a trapezoid-shaped
fragment believed to be
from a cargo boat dating back to the 17th century. These discoveries, coupled with the historical
context provided by their research in Portugal, bolster their determination to uncover the
secrets hidden beneath Oak Island's surface. With each find, they inch closer to unravelling the mysteries that have intrigued
treasure hunters for generations. Gary Drayton and the team continue their
exploration in the triangle-shaped swamp, uncovering more potential ship-related
artefacts. Among their discoveries is a piece
of wood resembling deck planking, suggesting a connection to a large sailing vessel. This finding adds to a growing collection of
ship-related artefacts found in the swamp, which has fueled speculation about the
presence of a hidden treasure galleon. The team recalls the efforts
of Fred Nolan, who, in 1969, drained the swamp and uncovered scuppers, a
mast fragment, and other ship-related items. Nolan's discoveries led him to
theorise that the
swamp might have been artificially created
to conceal a treasure-laden ship. The ongoing recovery of ship-related artefacts
by Rick Lagina's team not only supports Fred Nolan's theory but also bolsters Scott Clark's
hypothesis regarding the swamp's significance. In addition to the ship-related artefacts,
the team finds a wooden fragment resembling a piece from a smaller nautical
vessel, potentially linked to a trapezoid-shaped artefact discovered in
the same area dating back to the 1680s.
This artefact, previously speculated to be
part of a longboat used for unloading cargo, raises questions about the nature of
activities conducted in the swamp. The discovery of these wooden pieces, along with
traces of silver detected deep in the Money Pit, suggests a complex history of
maritime activity on Oak Island. Meanwhile, metal detection expert Gary Drayton,
along with Jack Begley and surveyor Steve Guptill, investigate anomalies on Lot 8, located
on the western side of the island.
They identify an indentation in the ground
indicating potential subsurface activity. This anomaly, coupled with previous finds and
geological surveys, underscores the enigmatic nature of Lot 8 and its significance in
unravelling the mysteries of Oak Island. As the team continues to explore
and uncover new clues, they remain committed to understanding the intricate
story and enduring mystery of Oak Island. Each discovery brings them closer to uncovering
the truth hidden beneath the island'
s surface. The Metallic Anomaly!
Gary Drayton and Marty Lagina are eager to explore Lot 8, where
a large metallic anomaly was identified earlier in the year. They've cleared the area
of trees and foliage to aid in their search. Gary reminisces about the magnificent garnet
brooch they found in the same area years ago. Now, equipped with metal detectors,
they investigate further, hopeful for new discoveries despite interference from
tree roots and forest debris. They remain determined to unco
ver any potential
artefacts hidden beneath the surface. Rick Lagina acknowledges the
significance of the Money Pit but emphasises the importance of exploring
other potential sites marked by anomalies. As Gary Drayton and Jack Begley
continue their metal detecting efforts, they uncover a substantial iron
artefact resembling the head of a chisel. Gary identifies it as possibly
a hand point chisel or a swag, dating back to the Middle Ages, around the 1400s. This discovery adds to a growing
c
ollection of similar artefacts found both near Smith's Cove on the eastern end
of the island and here on the western side. The team reflects on the implications
of finding such ancient tools, speculating on their potential use, such as
tunnelling or other excavation activities. The recurrence of these artefacts across different
areas of the island raises questions about the historical activities that took place
prior to the discovery of the Money Pit. Carmen Legge, a blacksmithing expert, p
reviously highlighted the significance
of similar iron tools found on the island, suggesting they were essential tools for
extensive work conducted in the area. As the team continues to unearth
artefacts and explore anomalies, they confront the mystery of Oak
Island's pre-Money Pit history. The discovery of ancient tools like the
hand-point chisel deepens the intrigue surrounding the island's past and its potential
connections to historical events and activities. Each find brings them clos
er to
uncovering the secrets hidden beneath Oak Island's surface and sheds light
on the island's rich and enigmatic history. The team's excavation on Lot 8
uncovers a significant amount of rocks, indicating a disturbed and possibly filled area. Marty Lagina expresses hope for finding
something buried of significance, such as a chamber, metal, concrete, or
wood, which could potentially hide treasure. However, the discovery of numerous
rocks suggests that the area has been previously disturb
ed or filled,
possibly indicating human intervention. As they continue digging, they
encounter a large boulder, which Marty suspects may have
been placed there intentionally. Observing organics below the boulder
further supports the theory that the area has been dug before, and the rock
was moved and positioned deliberately. This prompts speculation about
the presence of tunnels, vaults, or other structures beneath the surface. Despite the challenges posed by the presence of
the boulder a
nd the disturbed nature of the area, Marty suggests digging further around
the rock to explore what lies beneath. The team remains determined to uncover any
potential secrets hidden beneath Lot 8, believing that further excavation around the
boulder may lead to significant discoveries. This Is How It Ends
The excavation on Lot 8 reveals a potentially significant find, with
Marty Lagina emphasizing the extensive nature of what may have occurred in the area, suggesting
it could have involved
people hiding treasure. Despite not detecting any signals below the
surface, Marty and the team remain committed to exploring further, considering the unique
characteristics of the site worth pursuing. However, their efforts to uncover more
are limited by reaching the 5-foot depth, prompting them to conclude that they need
to apply for a deeper excavation permit. The discovery of what appears to be a
deliberately placed paved feature and a large boulder reinforces the
need for further inve
stigation. As they prepare to report their findings and
discuss their next steps, the team members express confidence that they haven't seen the
last of the mysteries hidden beneath Lot 8. Gary Drayton and Marty Lagina explore Lot 8, where a large metallic anomaly was
detected. They uncover a significant discovery—a unique piece resembling a chain with
two brackets, possibly part of a horse's bridle. This find is unusual considering the
historical use of oxen rather than horses on the islan
d. Speculating on its
significance, they consider its potential connection to past discoveries like the
garnet brooch and the metallic anomaly. Gary's metal detector then signals
another find—a chunky piece of iron resembling an adze, a tool used
for shaping wooden structures. This discovery adds to the
mystery surrounding Lot 8, prompting plans for further investigation
with experts once a permit is obtained. That's all we can take on today's video. Do
