The Curse of Oak Island

[Mistered]

Surprised the show has run for so many seasons.

So am I and I suspect it has something to do with the Oak Island Tours aspect of it.
This has become a big business and I am sure this is a 'quid pro quo' scenario.
I would bet The History Channel has a big investment in this and the show is good advertising.

understood on finding odd, unrelated items .... we take our metal detector with us when we travel .... we have found some interesting but sadly not very valuable stuff .... I'd really enjoy being able to spend some time with Gary .... his technique running a detector appears to be pretty much standard but his knowledge of where to do so when he walks into a strange area is exceptional

[Mistered]

One of the first areas I typically search (depending on the location) is around the base of trees near where a house was, or those in the area where if one was to sit down and lean up against have a nice view - stuff falls out of pockets this way.

I also search around fenceposts (if remaining) near houses as they were known spots to bury small caches of money or anything small of value.

Old fire pits are good areas as well and always give up a few coins when searched.

we've found that tent sights in campgrounds can be productive

well, Gary came through again .... looking forward to seeing the results of the testing on his latest find .... can't help but wonder what they will find when they drain the swamp (again)

[Mistered]

testing on his latest find .

I came in late - what did he find?

[JEBar]

a heavy piece of jewelry that might have all sorts of connections to the French Navy, the Knights Templar, etc .... looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up and what the analysis yields

I streamed the episode to catch up.
Definitely an interesting find! I'll go with something of military or maritime origin and hope they come up with something conclusive.

It is my hope when they find something unusual they post a pic on a Historical website or forum to get as many eyes on it as possible for a possible identification. If they are doing this it would be nice to know where so us fans of the show could follow the progress.
Heck even a discussion group on the shows' website would be nice.

the promo for tonight reads, "Forgotten clues produce new leads as the fellowship of the dig zeroes in on the Money Pit." .... looks like another hang on the the edge of your seat episode ...

[JEBar]

well, my biggest takeaway from tonight's show is they still have big bucks to spend in their search .... I'm all for research and do enjoy seeing the technology being employed .... they did come up with a few interesting finds, Gary as usual was fun to watch ....
