    So after years and years of people searching they’ve finally condensed the treasure search area down to maybe a 20 yard radius. If they don’t find any treasure this summer there’s nothing there except for cobble roads, rock formations, and whatever small bits Gary finds. They will speculate on and on forever about who was there and what they were doing.

    Just my 2 cents. I was waiting all season for the Muon tech results. That they ignored/skipped over the results tell me there is nothing there. I may still be proven wrong but this shit has got to stop.

    If I remember correctly they said that test takes at least a year to complete because you need to leave the sensors buried in place without disturbing them for a long period of time. I can't remember exactly when they started that process? But I agree, there have been other tests which they thought would provide definitive evidence and you either never hear the results or they’re not conclusive. At this point if I was the History Channel I would discreetly buy some ancient gold coins and dump them in the garden shaft to give them something to find and keep people interested. Or maybe they already have and they still can’t find them.

    I really don’t care how many seasons it goes on- they will search until they find something… and I’ll probably be watching along the way.

    My beef with the show is the number of episodes and the format. I think they could combine a bunch of episodes and cut down on the filler. As far as the format… the endless recaps puts me to sleep.

    I think if they combined some of the episodes, and trimmed the recaps- they could probably drop 6-8 episodes BUT the show would be way more entertaining.

    They did drop a coin down one of the small drill holes, hoping to retrieve it when they sank the larger caisson. Never heard hide nor hair from that again. Once again, just my thoughts. Lets take this back to the very beginning. 3 kids see a pully hanging from and old oak tree above a depression. Does this even make any damn sense? ALL that work to hide the worlds most AMAZING treasure and you leave a calling card to come mooch my treasure. If there was ever a treasure there ITS GONE! Please prove me wrong. I want to see something found in the worst way. I also have been following this story since the 4th grade, I'm 55.

    Exactly, there is no proof that any treasure was ever buried there to begin with. The whole story of there being treasure is speculation related to the story of the 3 kids who saw lights and went to investigate. That story is taken as gospel by all the treasure hunters because without it, you don’t have anything. The only ‘hard evidence’ that there's something there is the small debris on the drill bit from years ago, and more recently, the gold in the water tests. That’s pretty flimsy in my opinion. Obviously a lot of work was done on the island hundreds of years ago, but what the purpose of all that work was will likely never be known. People are fascinated by the possibility of a Templar Knights connection so they keep playing that up, but I think it just makes the whole story more unbelievable.

    The only proof we have is people were there. People are everywhere. There is no proof of almost anything from that island. 90 foot stone, not even a rubbing? Never existed. Gold on the drill bit? Never existed, Bits of gold chain? Yer yankin my chain. VI on parchment? Big Deal! If i was looking for investors i would make shit up also.

    Quoted from NC_Pin:

    Yeah, they said their permits were expiring and that is why they had to stop working in the Garden Shaft.
    All-in-all... the end of the season was pretty good. The last 4 or 5 episodes were the best they have had in years.

    There is money on the ground for the municipalities. I sure hope they are getting it and spending it wisely. Special permits get pulled in the states frequently. It costs but certainly it gets done. Unless not finishing and leaving treasure on the ground until next season of the show is a part of the agendas.
