The slipway wood was dated to a 99% accuracy by a dendro-chronologist as being cut around 1770. It still pre-dates the original discovery date though.
You’re laughing at the narrator? At a script that sounds remarkably similar from episode to episode? Could this be a sign that the writers could be a little more imaginative? And if so, when might they begin to mix things up?
Dang. I missed the last episode. Looking forward to next season. I am in for the long haul and I still get a charge every week watching this show.
My wife calls it "The Button Show" because they seem to find a lot of buttons. I just enjoy the journey - regardless of treasure.
From the CBC Radio, complete with twenty-on plus minutes of audio... Centuries of intrigue, turmoil and death: Why treasure hunters can't stay away from Oak Island.
I've watched every season of Oak Island with a pretty fair degree of skepticism. Last season I thought there might really be something to this mystery, and this season looks like it's going to be good.
They always find enough to keep me interested. I mean human bone fragments at 180 feet? They sure as heck weren't mining tin out there.
Enjoy most of the show but the narration and voice over guy drive me crazy. Super hype and he constantly draws conclusions that have nothing to do with reality. They could fire that guy. All the Templar and Shakespeare talk is also ridiculous. I have nothing against trying to solve the mystery though.
Anybody else still watching? Tuesdays episode looks like they may have stumbled onto a buried ship in the swamp. I still love this show. But, I can understand if some of y'all have tapped out.
Tapped out a few seasons ago. Figured if they ever found anything of note, I could then just watch that episode.
I still watch it. They keep digging up interesting things, just not the fabulous treasure that is likely long gone. The huge stone roads hidden under the swamp must have been part of a major military undertaking. Even if there's no treasure, something big was cooking there, and could be solid evidence of what everyone's really known for ages, namely that Europeans were snooping around this part of the world, unsanctioned and unofficially, far before Columbus.
I never miss an episode. Like the poster above said I think the money pit treasure, whatever it may have been, is long gone, dug up centuries ago. Probably by the same people who buried it. Our searchers have perforated that area with holes and come up with nothing but old wood and a few bits of leather. Not to mention the two bits of bone. I agree, the discovery of the wharf/road, and now these pieces of finished wood deep in the swamp indicate something good. This next episode should be good.
I still DVR and watch it every week, but finally this looks to be major. Not only have they found railing wood from a ship, but the excavator is scraping on a large buried surface that is probably the ships wooden side. Next week should be really interesting....
Thanks for your feedback. Glad I'm not the only SHTV member still interested in this show. I agree with all of your assessments. This is likely less of a treasure hunt and more of an archeological project that could reveal some interesting, previously unknown, facts about Europe and the North American continent. Either way, I think the work they are doing is worth the expense and I hope it keeps going for the foreseeable future.
