The Curse of Oak Island

Post by JEBar » Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:38 pm

anyone following The Curse of Oak Island series (Tuesday nights) on the History Channel .... season 5 is now underway .... the equipment they are using is even larger .... the money they have spent to date has to be mind boggling

We love that show! I haven't seen any of season 5 yet. I'll have to catch up on them.

apparently winter storms were really rough on the island .... using a metal detector in areas that suffered considerable erosion seems to be working .... so far they have found a musket ball and a coin

I really hope that the Lagina brothers manage to find whatever it is that is buried on the island. They have spent a small fortune in their quest, and have had one disappointment after another, but they are still willing to carry on the search.

I'm looking forward to the release of the new series over here! :D

That can be an interesting show. I wonder how much of it is "scripted" for television. Years ago I took a class "Elements In Film Making" at the local junior college. I was taught to always ask "where is the camera?."

I'm pretty sure that some of the conferences they hold are scripted or at least edited .... I have no doubt that the brothers and their core people have been thoroughly infected with an obsession to find something ..... they are spending mega bucks of their own money in the search, no way the History Channel is footing the bill .... can't remember his name but I really enjoy watching the fellow the have brought in to run the metal detector

Season 6 premiers tonight at 9PM on the History Channel .... looks like another year of spending mega bucks in search of Oak Island's hidden treasure .... from the preseason hype, it will be interesting to follow

Heck I have been following ANYTHING on it ever since I read the story about it in Reader's Digest as a kid.
Always been fascinated by it and like everyone else I hope something comes out of the fortune the Lagina brothers (and whoever else is anteing up) have spent.

I hope they find more than Geraldo did in Al Capone's vault....
