Lets be honest here, even if they do find something, Spain will probably claim it....

The explosion mapping is a cool idea.
The dudes selling the coffer dam though... "I know how we can get these idiots to buy the dam, grab the augmented reality headsets!" |

12 hours, two civil war buttons, and the insinuation that they found the Ark of the Covenant later. . .
That show should have died off years ago |

They've been "Right on the trail!" of some big fuck-off payday treasure for... How many fucking years has this clickbait shit been on TV?
They play the same exact clips over and over, jus edited for each season. The fuck. |

View Quote They have probably made 20-30 million off the show at a cost to them of a few hundred grand and a few trinkets they bought off ebay. |

The repetition on this show is about as bad as it gets for reality TV.
If someone really wanted what was at the bottom of that island they would have hydraulic mined it to bedrock a long time ago. |

I watch it. I (mostly) enjoy it.
I know they won't find anything. |

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the American people. This show is taking full advantage of that.

It's hard to get too excited over gold plated costume jewelry.

The curse of Oak Island is watching the Curse of Oak Island.

If I were cynical I would suggest that metal detector guy is planting stuff.

So they find a supposed crossbow bolt that is apparently ancient yet in pretty good shape. Wouldn't something like that be rusted completely away if it is as old as they say?

I still continue to watch. Why? I don't know. I like treasure shows....

I have it on for background noise because I refuse to watch The Conners. What annoys me most is the stupid narrator with the, "Can this be a long lost widget from ancient history?" I find myself saying, "No, it can't be" in response. The tenuous claims they make to anything historical is laughable. It's as bad as the guys looking for the Jesuit gold.

Holy shamoley, I love this show! Its a bobby dazzler for sure.
I know it's stupid, but I can't stop watching. |

If they knew gold was there, and with the money they are blowing. There should be a hole like looking off hoover dam. Its just trinket metal detecting and suspense now.

Think about it. If you were to bury a treasure on an island that isn't inhabited how far down would you bury it? Given the state of the art at the time of burial, pick and shovel, how wide would you have to dig the mouth of the hole to keep it from collapsing in on it's self? This show is pure bullshit, they will NEVER find any thing. View Quote |

I love this show.
I first heard about the Oak Island legend 30 years ago, and watched every show about it, and read every article about it I could. On the show they are actually digging up the island, which is certainly more real and interesting then all the info I read or saw prior to it. |

I have only watched a couple episodes but I am pretty sure Todd Haufman and George Noory must be their guides or consultants.......

If they find the treasure the show is over. I love the show

I watched some of the first season but once you watch the same drama over and over again with no result it gets old so I quit. I'll just wait and see if they acutally find something then go back and watch that episode or read about it in the news...surprised they have been able to keep viewers going this long with nothing to really show for it.

I'm still waiting on Nicolas Cage, Jon Voight and Justin Bartha to show up. Shit will get real then. James Woods can be the villain. You gotta have a villain.

For 220 years this treasure hunt has been nothing more than a dog chasing it's own tail. One treasure hunter using the stories, rumors and remnants of a previous treasure hunter as "proof" that something of great value was entombed on the island. There are no man-made flood tunnels, no 90 foot stone, no treasure shaft. The "depression in the soil" that Daniel McGinnis found in 1799 was nothing more than a common feature of the islands geologic make-up (Karst topography). I spent a few years as an amateur-professional treasure hunter or as my Wife refers to it; "my get poor quick scheme". While I did find lost treasure, it cost me about 2X it's net worth to recover (lawyers, accountants and insurance being the biggest costs) One of the investor groups I was part of had a VERY famous treasure hunting family at the helm (an NDA prevents me from dropping names). They had looked into the Oak Island Treasure in the late '60s, spent a Summer on the island and could not find one single piece of substantiated evidence that the island had ever been used for more than clandestinely careening ships (pirates or unfriendly nations) to affect emergency repairs. |

I have a sneaking hunch they have already found all the money....that is the money they got from selling the whole thing to the TV channel.
If they had found anything noteworthy, it would have already been on the news, and the show couldn't have kept it quiet... So this season will be like all the others, with them finding a few odds and ends, but no significant "treasure". |
