The Curse of Oak Island (1 Viewer)

So, no one came back to post last night. Was the finale last night or tonight? If last night, I am assuming the silence means a dead end once again? 

 
Has this show finally worn out its faithful viewers?  I mean, if they didn't find jack after the first couple of season, they were bound to find at least jack squat this season.

Some hope this week.  An independent archaeologist claims that the rock structure in Smiths Cove is manmade which indicates that there is truth to the box drain theory.  At the very end of the episode, they pull up some round wood from a new hole in the money pit area.  

However, they also had perhaps the kookiest guy ever who owns a neighboring island and claims that there are several hundred TONNES of gold buried between the two islands under the ocean.

And there was plenty of recap.  

BRING ON NEXT WEEK!!

This should get another couple seasons out of the audience, and introduce some new characters.

The show could use a soccer loving architect me thinks.  Really talk some sense into these dudes about the unlikelihood, from an architectual perspective, of finding #### buried hundreds of feet in the earth hundreds of  years ago. 

Whom I kidding, that would be worse than what they're showing now.

 
Decent finale. It was enough to keep me interested. Glad they finally found some metal that seemed to be relevant. 

Special "What's next?" episode next week :thumbup:

It was last night.  Just watched it.  Items found/confirmed off the top of my head:

Gold Cross confirmed dated to late 1600's of Spanish origin (via the granddaughters of a late 1800's searcher)

Metal spike confirmed dated to late 1600's from a Spanish ship of some sort (found in the swamp earlier in the season)

British soldiers button confirmed late 1700s - early 1800s (found in the final hole dug at the money pit area)

Chunk of steel plating dated to late 1600's commonly used on "treasure chests" (same hole as above)

unidentified wood with a tar like substance (same hole as above)

Great episode, which does seem to offer proof of activity happening in the late 1600s

I skipped to the last 15 minutes of the 2 hours, so that's the only part I saw, but I think I heard their expert say it was the kind of brace commonly used on treasure chests, and, also commonly used as a brace on wooden ships, right?

that is correct.  I think she also mentioned that those kinds of parts and pieces were commonly re-used/ recycled from the ships for other uses

 
I don't remember anything being said about the thinner, bent up, piece of metal they found.  Did I miss something?

The episode was pretty good, besides the awful segment where those old ladies visited and it got all sappy.

I think the dude from Expedition Unknown finds that much every week.

 
Season 5 premiere announced:

History has slotted Tuesday, November 7, 9 PM for the Season 5 premiere of its top nonfiction series The Curse Of Oak Island.

Also, apparently lots of big equipment (300 ton crane etc) was moved onto the island in the middle of September.  They're going for it.

 
still can't explain why I get excited seeing this thread bumped. and still don't think I've actually seen the show.

BUT LET'S BE AMAZED

 
I'm excited!  Just got a new DVR so I have to get this guy back on there.  No good explanation why I like this show... I just do.

Here's some additional info he threw out there... take it FWIW...

  • They actually find "something", not just evidence that something was there.
  • Whatever is found, it is found East of the money pit.
  • They are currently filming Season 6 and the BIG REVEAL!  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

So skip this season and wait for season 6??

 
Watched a couple of the new ones... they found a "rose-head" (hand forged) nail they believe to be from the 1700's and put a diver in jeopardy of nitrogen poisoning and all he came up with (in fairness, he ran out of his allotted time) was a bag full of mud sans any of the apparent metal objects they saw on the super-elite-upper-tier HD camera they lowered down. 

 
The worst episode was last week (S5 E4) where they spent over half the time getting Rickie Restall's toy gun back to him after he lost it on the island ~50 years ago.  Complete waste of time.

This week, they found some pottery and human bones below searcher level.  Marty thinks they've found the money pit.

:goodposting:   He looked at the gun for what seemed like 10 minutes and at that point I was just hoping he'd say "Nope, wasn't mine!" 

I figure that part was scripted anyway. Probably really wasn't his.  Pottery find was definitely interesting.

x2.  I never have "time" to watch either.

ETA - I did actually watch 2 episodes over the weekend due to lack of anything else to do.  I have no clue where they fall in the season/episode hierarchy.  Made me realize that it doesn't matter.  You can watch the episodes in basically any order you want, and it works. 

It's either:

-Look what some rumor says we'll find

-Look what some technological device says we'll find

-Look at this tiny artifact we found that means something

-We try to actually get our hands on something meaningful and fail.

I'm just waiting on the ###### brothers to run out of money.
