  1. The reason its called the Money Pit is because people over the years have sunk so much money trying to find some treasure that probably doesn't exist (at least not anymore). If they had put all the money they have spent on contractors digging and blasting the island down 90ft they could have had a lovely digging it back up "Look Marty we've found $20M!"

  2. In the swamp is supposed to be the shipwreck of a presumed Spanish galleon. Most ancient sailing vessels used rocks about the size of a bowling ball for ship ballasting. So, the ship appears to be on it's side, so the thing to do is probe along the keel for the ballast, the same as the probes that found the cobblestone road in the swamp. The ship is theorized to have been burned, but the ballast rocks would still be there.

  3. I guess they've worn out the B.S. factor with the Money pit! Now they can potentially go on forever making up more B.S. all over the world! Sad the History Channel has to be promoting fraud of History !

  4. Vid title "Shocking Templar Cannon" yet no mention of the cannon having anything to do with the Templars. Also hadn't the Templars disappeared before cannons were first used in Europe? Vid title as far fetched as the TV show.

  5. This show has gone off the rails. These guys are grasping at straws now… "Oh look! An Oak tree is over the well!" "Wow! just like Oak Island"… hey, do you think there is water and sand here? JUST LIKE OAK ISLAND!! WOW!!
    Some asshat richboy builds his weirdo occult castle in 1915 Spain, (or whatever) and somehow a deep well is a sign the money pit is real? Come on… It is Templars? DaVinci? Captain Kidd? Blackbeard? I mean… I'm starting to think the original McGuinness guy made it all up after he chased a natural sinkhole into some fractured groundrock and got flooded out. "Oh! but the tunnels flood with the tides!" – yeah, just like natural porous bedrock would allow when digging on a seabound island. It was fun for a while, but now I'm convinced the whole thing is bullsh*t.

  6. I could dig straight down from where im sitting right now and find more interesting stuff than these morons have found in however many years digging on that island.

  7. With well over 100 episodes how come no treasure? Because they are not going to find treasure.. It's a tv show and it gets ratings so of course they are going to keep filming grown men play in the mud. That's all I have seen. It's like that show 'Finding Bigfoot.' They had well over 100 episodes and they weren't any closer to finding bigfoot during their last episode compared to their first episode. Save everyone the time and just air 1 episode- The one where they find treasure or the one where the 'find bigfoot.' You want to find a bigfoot? Walk inside an NBA locker room. You want to find treasure? Leave oak island..

  8. The real " Curse of Oak Island is sitting through a hour of repetitious story line just to find a belt buckle, pendant or old coin of some sort. I've been watching since the start but I have given up on them ever finding real treasure.

  9. WTF The official guy said the cannon was dated between the 1500 and 1600¨s. The the visiting guy came up with his own idea of 1400 to 1500 just to move the goalposts……………… Pope Clement V disbanded the order in 1312 so how can this stone ball be from a templar cannon ???? You guys couldnt unlock the islands secrets…

  10. Biblically, a ‘well’ is filled with knowledge/wisdom. The cave is about death and dying of who you were, in order to exit the cave back into the ‘Light’ of the ‘Day’. Being reborn out of our ignorance and into the ‘light’ of Truth. I’d be willing to “wager” that the “entrance/exit” they found across the island is the exit to the well. There should be only one way back out. Plato’s ‘Allegory of The Cave’ is in itself “biblical”. I’m careful when I use “biblical” and “Christian” due to the extreme misunderstandings and hypocrisy within those whom claim a ‘title’ they do not understand nor ‘know’. But I’m just a crazy person who likes puzzles, philosophy, and researching… and I believe in God. But that was my path and journey.

  11. The point for me is the process of research. Yes, too many re-caps, too much "excitement" but research is slow. These guys are amateurs. They are learning how to research as they go. No instant gratification here. The fact that something on Oak Island can be matched to something from Europe (or any place else) dated before 1492, is significant. Remember The New World was "discovered' in 1492 by Columbus. Is that really true? Were Europeans actually here prior to then? Maybe. That's what fascinates me.

  12. To the cynics….yeah, I'm getting a little cynical myself, after 9 years of watching this. But stop focusing on the cannon. The major find in Portugal was some of those symbols carved into the wall. They weren't an exact match, but you wouldn't expect that. I keep thinking that someone, somewhere, is an expert in Templar symbology, and can translate those glyphs.

    Do I think the Templars buried treasure on Oak Island? I can't deny the various connections made – some are tenuous, others are very intriguing. Do I think the treasure is still there? No. I think someone made off with it, most likely Samuel Ball. (The wealthiest guy in Nova Scotia? Someone ought to be researching that! He had to have left some financial footprints around the province.) But just proving that it was the Templars, or their offshoots, would be exciting, and that's why I keep watching.

    PS: Does anyone else think that "brothers Rick, and Marty Lagina, their partner Craig Testor, and members of their team," actually FOUND the Money Pit, like maybe one of the last two holes they dug was spot on, but because they didn't find treasure, they assumed they had missed it? I think it was that Heddon shaft.

  13. The best way to end the Oak Island Curse is to get that 7th death. Maybe Marty and Rick could create an "accident" with Gary falling down the deep shaft…"Hey Gary, bring your wand over here by the rim, I think I see a Templar button"….."It's Medieval", but the ratings would go through the roof.

  14. So after asking the security guard to date and verify the stone shot, they don't even bother to ask the curators, or historians.. why why bother when the security guard will agree you.
