There is some fascinating stuff right here in America. there are thousands of burial mounds that native Americas say were there when they showed up. Hobbiest archeologists in the 1800s excavated some and found burials containing bones of giants over 7 feet tall

It's not surprising that groups of native Americans came across earlier settlements and earthworks...it happens all the time. The builders of Cahokia predated the actual Cahokia tribe the site is named for. Mesoamerican sites like Teotihuacan were already in ruins when the Spanish conquered the Aztecs. I think you're thinking of hoaxes like the Cardiff Giant, though.

I've spent a few years studying Mississippian and Hopewell mound building cultures. They're plenty interesting without creeping into X-Files territory.

Did I miss anything big last night? I ate too much and crashed halfway through the show.

Huge logs found buried near the "U-Shaped Structure", and the swamp looks like the place they are now focused.

Global warming looks to have buried the dock or warf they are digging up in Smiths cove. Could it be that the "money pit" is accutally the back door entrance to the "eye of the swap"? Is the "eye of the swap" the real "money pit"? One more has to die before.....

One thing is undeniable and that is with as much work that has been done on the island something was of great value to whomever was there. I've tried to tie it in with times of conflict (military) but at such an early date there was not much warfare going on anywhere close to the island. Likewise when it comes to building ships for commerce there, no advantage to being across the pond from the action.

Somewhere between 1200 and 1600, someone went through a hell of a lot of work to hide something for sure.....

I think it's in the eye.

Sorry I missed that. How did they locate shaft #2? I just see educated sample drilling that got them there.

Ground Penetrating Radar, then several bore holes.

I'm hooked since S1E1.

I think the eye in the swamp may be key to the mystery. It's very odd that no vegetation has ever grown in that area of the swamp.

I guess my big question about the most recent shaft that is supposed to be 14 ft from the money pit is why is this shaft still there? There was supposed to have been a major excavation of the area. The shaft should have been destroyed. Oh well maybe I'm in too deep. I've only been watching guys dig for the last 5 yrs but somehow it reels you in.

I have never missed a episode of Oak Island. (also Gold Rush and Deadliest Catch).

Gold Rush and Deadliest Catch are cool, but all occupational. I operate machines like in Gold Rush, so I can relate, and know bs when they are acting like a machine is stuck or something. And I know enough about boats to see a little bs in Deadliest Catch.

Anyway, Oak Island is my favorite show hands down. A little occupational, a little bs here and there, but they find just enough odd things to keep me watching.

I hope they find something on Oak Island so awesome that it changes history books.

The only thing about Oak Island I can not stand, and also turns off my girlfriend, is that narrator with all the same bs. It gets old every time they find any thing at all having to hear all that crap over and over:

"a piece of metal that dates back to 1400, could it be from the Knights Templar, or could it be from pirates, or was something else even more incredible going on".

All the "could it be" crap gets very old. BUT, I will keep watching every episode, and I wish Rick and Marty well.

Don't you mean Rick and Morty? ... wait wrong thread sorry

I actually like hearing some of the wild theories out there, some are propitious and others are well just way out there. However it does make for a good watch with some history learning in the process.

To anyone else who has watched from the beginning I have a question. I thought that at least the first year or two their name Lagina was pronounced like vagina. Am I just imagining that or faulty memory?

They have pronounced the name the same way since the beginning.

You're probably thinkingof Vic Lagina.

@OldPinGuy - If your theory is right, we'll start seeing footage like this next week...

It a Bobby Dazzler!

You beat me to that line..Jhines...
Possibly a "Bobbie Dazzler" too! LOL

possibly made out of "poowher"

It sounds like la-geena on the show

I'm still awaiting the discovery of Doritos...

We almost had a "holy shamoley" from the cove, who knows testing results might still label it as one. I can't wait for next week just to see what the bottom of the swamp looks like, waited 7 seasons to see that lol.

HA. He said it last night. Marty's couldn't help but smile too at the way he says it.

It’s going to take about 10 more episodes to see the bottom of the swamp at this rate.

I wonder when they're going to unearth all the bodies of the people who did the work.... I can't even begin to contemplate them doing all that work to bury treasure in secret only to allow the many they needed to spread the secret or worse, alive to come back and retrieve it. I've been leaning towards some type of ship building/repair as the real reason for all the work mostly due to the absence of evidence leading to what happened to the workers. Not much sense in having a safe if everyone knows the combination.

Ha, I agree. All work comes to a full stop because a metal tag was found in Smith's Cove. The swamp looks interesting though. I want to know what causes the "eye" with no vegetation.

Yes, I think they will be finding some real evidence in the EYE of the swamp.
If the Templars were playing the shell game with the treasure, they did it well!

Trump isn't the ONLY one draining the swamp! LOL (Sorry, couldn't resist that!)

Boo....

After tonight's episode, is anybody else aware that Hurricane Dorian could be a potential disaster to their search efforts?

Just minor. A few days of pumping water, cleaning up fallen trees and repairing roads. Just a hiccup.

Hurricane Dorian made landfall in Nova Scotia on Sept 7, 2019. There can't be many more episodes left for this season.

At the rate of two days per episode and about 60 days of reasonable weather, that works out to 30 episodes.

The swamp that I thought may give up some great things appears it could just be a bust. The rocks of coarse will have to be looked at closer to get the truth but it really has lost some of it's promise.

I wouldn’t give up on the swamp yet, especially if they buried something with landfill first before filling it with water. Let’s see what Dorians water fill and drain again exposes for us next week.

They found Jimmy Hoffa!

Not giving up I just thought things were I just think things have not gone the way they were hoping them too and that it had lost some promise of being the answer.
