Watch all new episodes of The Curse of Oak Island, new season premieres 11/7 at 9/8c. Stay up to date on all of your favorite The HISTORY Channel shows at history.com/schedule.
Don't stop with searching just lot 5. Take a good look at lots 1 to 4 inclusive as they are even closer to the shallow waters that lie between those lots and the mainland. Keeping in mind what the Geological Survey of Canada said in the 1990's about the slowly-rising sea level surrounding Oak Island, the seabed between the mainland and lot 1, etc... was almost certainly dry land in the very distant past and "lots 1 to 5" could have been walked to from the Nova Scotia mainland. Food for thought!
On s 11 ep 3 at 32:07 to 32:11 min in to film half way through❣the date on it is 12- 5- 2023, It looked like an key hole from the angle you shot the film please look and see it is when they were at the rock formations ❣ For Rick or Marty Lagina "shear mystery" s11 ep 3
That holds a ram rod in the storage slot below the barrell. The small hole in the flange is for a pin to secure the holder to the forestock. It was a simple way to attach it to the wood. Cool item but hardly something to get really excited about.
My personal theory is that there’s more than one treasure buried on the island. Lot 5 is going to be discovered to have been a small encampment and staging area. And I don’t believe all the treasures are related to the same source. Fun the archeological association is fascinating.
There has been verifiable evidence found, carbon dating, and modern technology has been applied. Period. There is certainly more evidence to support the archeological findings. Can you offer evidence of a hoax?
Oak island was a shipyard for a long time. Voyagers needed a place to haul out and make repairs before heading back across the Atlantic. That’s all it was in my opinion .
@GDench where they can make an entire video around one piece of refuse that cant provide any significant evidence. We alessy know people were there in that time period
i think they were there in that forge changing the gold itself. they were taking gold there to become jewlery or changing it from recognizable treasure to something new like coins, or bars so they could recirculate it back in Europe or anywhere
"Its definitely old" as the camera pans to a room full of shocked faces and Gary smiling. Getting tired of hearing how old these terrible finds are. No kidding. We get it. We are not tuned in for musket balls and ram rods. The only thing getting old is the lack of sustance on this show.
Let’s be honest, what are they supposed to do? Just fake finding important and interesting things? Until they actually find buried treasure, obviously they will only find ram rods and such. If it’s that uninteresting, you know you don’t have to watch it, right? There’s plenty of fake shows where they always do something super interesting that’s staged.
@@ThatSharkGirl in other words the show has become much like watching paint dry. Ive been in this since season 1. It comes down to editing. Its become way too repetitive and watchers may be on the brink of exiting without being rewarded for their loyalty.
If so much of their findings are "unusual".... when does it become "usual"? And I bet they can milk this for another decade... They could turn the island upside down if they really wanted to.
I find it funny when it is said thats the first one he has seen with a hole in it :-) i would love to hear how he thinks a ramrod pipe would be attached to a musket without a hole :-) as soon as they held it in their hand from coming from the ground i knew what it was :-)
Dude when Jack digs a hole with any rocks at all it takes like 5 min of intense digging. Got to laugh tv makes it look so easy. Im from near there. 🎉Best show on tv. Ps they probably dig 10 to 25 holes before they find anything good.
Got to: 2:33 through 2:57 (The find). 3:08 through 3:45 (Speculation). 4:37 through 5:45 (What it really is). As a bonus 5:55 to 6:44 (A CT scan showing more detail). There saved you a bunch of time that shows like these love to waist. Anything interesting usually only takes up about 5 minutes of the entire show. They save that part for last while the entire other 45 to 50 minutes is pure speculation fill. If Roman numbers it would not be V one, one, one, one; instead it would be V i, i, i, i = 9.
Aaaaand, wrong. The ramrod is for packing the bullet and powder down. That thing held/stored the ramrod under the barrel when it wasn't being used. The little hole is for pinning it to the bottom of the gun
In the Roman numerals were makers marks when they made weapons, for the armies of the past Roman armies all kinds armies in order to get paid for what you made your swords your guns. You had a mark on them to distinguish them from all the other makers you should be able to track that makers mark.
The number on that ramrod guide is to insure that it stays with the specific gun it was fitted to. Parts were hand fitted back then and no two were exactly identical so if parts got mixed up it could be a problem
It's a ramrod pipe, the roman numerals were to help identify which rifle it went on. I used to mark them back when I used to build custom made long rifles so I knew which rifle and where it went on that rifle. A long rifle will have at least three. That lead ball quite likely went to the same rifle the ramrod pipe came from. Just guessing at the caliber it looked like about a .40 caliber. Sorry guys but a military musket fired .69 caliber ball if French or .75 caliber ball if British. That ball went to a civilians squirrel rifle.
Possibly from the 8th (The King's) Regiment of Foot? Formed in 1685, and they had garrisons in British North America. From WIkipedia: "The 8th Foot arrived in Canada in 1768 and had its ten companies dispersed to garrison isolated posts on the Great Lakes: Fort Niagara (four), Fort Detroit (three), Fort Michilimackinac (two), and Fort Oswego (one)." Maybe they stopped at Oak Island enroute?
Started this show with my mother at the beginning ten years back. She is long deceased and still nothing. But I have remained loyal despite my family and friends laughing at me year after year but please!,
The hole that accepts the ramrod should have been from a wooden ramrod possibly a English trade gun a Fusil deChase which would be a smooth bore hunting musket
In actuality, they couldn't find an "oak tree" on Oak Island if they tried, as the non-indigenous Canopy Oak Trees lining the east shore of Oak Island next to Smith's Cove for which Oak Island got its name are all gone. The last remaining ancient "dying" Canopy Oak Tree was filmed in 1958 and was gone by the year 2000. Of the over 350+ islands in Mahone Bay, Oak Island was the ONLY island that had those non-indigenous Canopy Oak Trees. The theory is that the towering trees were used as landmarks to find Oak Island on the horizon by ancient seafarers. The mystery further deepens!
Those are kills.....or something that he recorded at separate times....like he put he v down first.....later on started added one here and there...we will prob never know
Aren't those numbers used for assembly, so a quarter master could properly disassemble and reassemble a weapon in the field? I could be wrong, but that's my guess.
I'm ex-Army and can tell you that marks on pieces of a firearm are not used to assist in assembling or reassembling a weapon in the field. Soldiers are even trained to do that in the dark from feel and practice.
Those are definitely assembly marks used in the initial building process of a British Brown Bess musket . All metal parts are fit to a specific stock and marked with roman numerals because each part is made for one gun at a time , Parts were not interchangeable from one gun to another , so as each piece is fit to a specific gun they are marked , put aside for final assembly . There were many people working , one fellow fitting ram rod pipes , one fitting triggers , another fitting barrels , another butt plates and another trigger guards . Every part of that gun would have the same number . If they want to date the gun , they need to measure the diameter of the main hole . Early Brown Bess up to around 1740 had large holes for wooden rammers and later Bess's after 1750 have smaller holes for steel rammers .
The treasure and vast wealth is actually the money that has already been spent trying to find something. I would love to see the actual dollar amount spent on this project from day one from when Rick and Marty set foot on the island for the first time to date because nobody on the island is doing this for free
Fortunes have been squandered over the past 119 years on Oak Island trying to find "whatever it is". Not just Rick and Marty--- Can you imagine the actual dollar amount, combined CAD and USD, that has been spent at Oak Island from 1804 to date?
@@johnwoa exactly the number has to be astronomical There is no doubt there are things there that are unexplainable and fascinating things took place. But if there are things there such as holy artifacts, they were not meant to be found. However, it is a fascinating story, yet to be told.
@@Craigregister000 Thanks for your reply. Judging from the complexity of the workings at Oak Island, clearly a major mining and marine engineering project done in the very distant past, I believe that "whatever it is" that was buried there was never meant to be recovered. There was a 1997 Discovery Channel Documentary focusing on Canadian government research conducted at Oak Island--- "there is no trace of that 1997 Oak Island Documentary anywhere on the Internet"... and after watching it back then and focusing on how the program ended and how peaceful and quiet the island appeared with the occasional sounds of wildlife, my first thoughts were, "cemetery".... "the final resting place of someone significant in world history". From that day forward I have believed that the Money Pit contains a tomb that is religious in significance.
ram rod thimble small hole in tab was a nail ...hole made of iron so it was military musket large dia. big ram rod large caliber ...maybe english brown bess...75 daliber
Interestingly, you just might be correct! Many many years ago, Mr. Dan Blankenship excavated a borehole and he said what he struck stunk like $hit! Dan indicated that it clearly was a giant latrine.
Do y'all think y'all would go buy one of these purple rocks or a ratio run that would have fit down inside there or do you think that stuff was established to pull against it
People have been trying to block the flood tunnels for two hundred years to no avail. Also, recall that the Money Pit collapsed down into the apparent cavern(s) back in the 1860's. With the slowly-rising sea level surrounding Oak Island over the millennia, the cavern(s) with any shoreline entrances are now completely underwater and that would be a herculean task to seal everything off and drain the water. In theory it could be done but it would cost a fortune.
Now we know why they call it Boring Holes. It’s Boring to watch ! It’s costing you millions and Roosevelt’s already took it. And if you did find it the US and Canadian Government would take it ! Keep your Vineyard Marty. You worked to hard and long for that Success.
I love the show, but the whole special permit thing is tsking up too much to time, and is stalling progress for The Fellowship to carry out their works.
