EARTH-SHATTERING GOLD DISCOVERIES | Evidence Unearthed on The Curse of Oak Island

it's empirical hard evidence I want to find the answers and this island has got to be close to giving up in secrets we identified a lab that can take a look not only at our water samples from the perspective of silver uh but they can take a look at our water samples from the perspective of gold all right there you go I thought gold wasn't detectable though in water apparently it is okay and so this is something new it's a lab in Queens Ontario and they specialize in looking at groundwater in Exploration for gold mines great and so I'm pretty excited Rick I want to look for this gold as soon as possible we've been looking for gold for 10 years now and now we hear that maybe we can detect it in the water let's see yeah I think everybody's on board that yeah so we'll get going on that as soon as possible and we're just going to need everybody's help I think it's astounding that you can test for gold in the water my new traces you have to remember it's parts per billion is what they're measuring but hopefully there is some evidence that there's gold on in The Money Pit it's a little discolored that's it okay I'm just going to taste this no are you serious oh quite mineral rich but fresh so fair bit of iron or calcium that's nothing that would ever hurt you down there moving on okay yeah I have some results that have being shared with me that I really felt I had to convey to you as soon as possible I'm obviously sort of excited by this and and so I I hope you are too yeah so we sent some samples to Pier's lab he analyzed them and a number of the samples that I sent to him showed gold oh really really yeah gold well the team is about to drill borole DN 11.5 in the baby blob a b hole that they hope will not only encounter valuables below a depth of 80 ft but may also be on track to intercept a tunnel believed to run directly below the garden shaft where water testing has has also detected evidence of gold hey Charles hey he how you doing how you doing Terry not too bad good to see you we're down DN 11.5 we're down 78 to 88 ft we're getting close yeah yeah yeah oh man wa think I'm going to pull this up just broke through something hey guys so what's going on over there I was doing my run to 100 right right at about 90 ft broke through something wow you got an open space 90 ft below grade right there's a void down there well you got to affirm whether or not it is a tunnel and the only way to learn that is to pull the core exactly matter get us some core time to find some treasure if we were to encounter a tunnel in close proximity to this Shaft or even at the base of the shaft that's a real aha moment got it's got a big one thank you there's some wood Terry we got w at the bottom here yeah oh my gosh we're into something I'm just going to squeeze in there and get a wood sample this sample right here we don't need much that sample should be fine uh we're just going to send it in the lab really quickly just to see if there's Metals in that wood we've got the xrf results from DN 11.5 oh good this definitely appears to be a tunnel and it sure points towards the garden shaft and then this specific area is where you know we've got a number of the most likely treasure area so-called treasure location really this will be interesting to see what we see onwards over the past 24 hours the wood sample recovered one day ago from bhall d n 11.5 which came from a believed tunnel some 90 ft deep that may be connected to the Garden shaft was dried out and then scanned by Emma using the X-ray fluorescent spectrometer or xrf a device that bombards objects with gamma rays which can detect additional elements or metals that may be found on or within them Emma so what are we seeing so we are seeing some very small quantities so I had to do a lot of double cheing so all those are expected materials from our Oak Island we have a lot of iron manganese titanium calcium potassium aluminum so these are all common things those are all what I would expect natur naturally occurring yeah very natural yeah but we are seeing some quantities of gold it shows gold yeah yeah it it's there gold is the outlier gold is a yes it's a very big outlier that's that's remarkable the gold sampling of the water and now the wood is probably the thing that might carry the day this year this might be the start of evidence an Evidence Trail it's every bit as important as the water sampling has been to date sure so we mustn't falter what we always say is you won't find samples in here in the lab here is where you come up with the h anwers y so we'll get you more samples mhm all right all righty sounds good okay hey Alex rck how you doing perfect timing we're just getting starting up with the prob drill do cool I'm hoping for something very substantial in the garden shaft this is where the treasure hunt actually begins you're grabbing soil samples yes sir but the other thing is when you cut through this tight lining the old tight lining wood yes I would like that small piece on on every hole Yeah I just wanted to put it in our xrf because we have detected High gold values in the area high gold values my thought was wood would act like a sponge if we test the outside of the shaft we know the water samples are indicating presence of gold certainly the wood should as well we need to get busy hello oh look who's here gang's all here the gang's all here come on in come on in oh my God it's a crown hello how you doing please Emma's got some news so you guys gave me these right this piece right here cuz it's small I could do a map scan of it and what what is that that's the garden shaft in lining that okay the wood pieces the original shop yeah and from this one I detected gold WOW gold in the wood yeah wow that's wild wow yeah in The Money Pit area Arch metallurgist Emma Culligan has just shared some astonishing news yeah I confirmed it I had to make sure but there's definite gold yeah the wood samples extracted 2 days ago from a depth of 55 ft inside the garden shaft contain High trace evidence of gold what degree of accuracy do you believe that to be this one's accurate 100% yeah well there you go guys and it's adhered to the organic material the wood yeah1 one% so it's but still that is enough this is huge isn't that like a big number that's a big number for my in my books that's a big number it is cuz it's a lot of parts per Vilan girl could find gold that's a superpower around here okay the results are incredible fantastic Gob smacking to use one of Gary's terms that's huge isn't it like that's a lot that's like significant yeah we could be close to the actual treasure we've got a little bit of time to pull it all together and we're going to work together to do that that's where we are right now I'm hopeful we've always said that you know science had to be a real component of the search and now this analysis is incredibly invigorating look at the smile around the table I mean everybody's smiling so it's it's a great component and we always said that this shaft would provide a unique opportunity if we were humble enough and smart enough to learn from Lost opportunities right yeah anyway I think we all am a round of applause God fly gold around here you get Applause well thank you for bringing the news we appreciate it it's it's all good news search for the truth absolutely find us some more more [Music] gold the reason why we're here is you ladies made a a unique offer that you had brought something to Oak Island brought something back which we're always fascinated with and we anticipating that greatly I couldn't sleep last night I was wondering what it is you're going to bring to the table literally well it's my pleasure to show you while visiting Oak Island sisters Joan Jean and Joyce mcginness the direct descendants of the young man who first discovered The Money Pit back in 17 1995 are about to share something incredible with Rick Marty and the Oak Island team see everyone start leaning in on yeah right exactly what do we got here I'm sitting there thinking well could it be this could it be that is it a story is it an artifact what is it like Christmas morning this is one of the stories we were told as children Grandpa Daniel five generations ago he noticed the marks on the tree and being from a family of Carpenters M and Masons he recognized the marks as um the marks made by a pulley system and he noticed the depression in the ground so he and his two friends started digging now I've been told they found three treasure chests really really and what is in this box is one of the things that came from that chest really the one that MNA St let's have a look yeah I got goosebumps wow may I you may oh my goodness well that is quite extraordinary a gold cross found in the original Money Pit in 1795 Daniel finds this in The Money Pit I mean that's singularly impressive there's never been a find associated with The Money Pit there other stories but we're holding this in our hand and it's been passed down through multi-generationally I mean it it's incredible when you think about it so I got about a million questions where' it come from I mean who had it who gave it to Who Do you know how it passed down through 220 years it passed down down to the mcginness men they passed it down to their sons and so my father had it and when my brother James was 15 my father passed it on to him and my brother the night before he died he said never let this out of your sight wow that is extraordinary I mean have you tried to date it I have taken it to several Jewelers and I'm told that it could be as old as 500 years old that would definitely fit in any kind of theory if it's 500 or earlier mhm if we can demonstrate that that came from Oak Island that's probably the most well it is it is the most valuable thing to ever turn up out of this island right I mean that might be a huge clue I think so I truly believe my grandma would say the treasure don't worry about the treasure the treasure will take care of itself but it will never be found until a mcginness is back on the island wow boy there back on the island here we are for the laginas and their Partners the gold cross represents what could very well be the first tangible evidence that objects of Great Value were buried at The Money Pit but were the Three Wooden treasure chests all that existed or were they placed there to discourage wouldbe treasure Hunters digging I just want to say on behalf of all of us that we want to thank you for coming to Oak Island and for me personally you know it's not what you brought it's the fact that a piece of the story history of Oak Island is now come back the mcginness family who started all of this so from our hearts we're we're very very grateful and and it was wonderful to meet you we appreciate it greatly put it this way this is energizing and it makes me want to keep going I mean we've had a bit of a dry spell here haven't we we have we have so thank you you're very very welcome let's go let's go forth and conquer [Music]
