My mom watches this shit. It always ends with "WE TURNED UP EMPTY HANDED, BUT THERE ARE SEDIMENT SAMPLES THAT MIGHT CONNECT TO THIS ARTIFACT THAT MIGHT CONNECT TO THIS ANCIENT SPOT THAT MIGHT HAVE A PUZZLE THAT MIGHT CONNECT TO A SECRET DOOR AND THEN" bullshit
I remember an entire episode analyzing a scratch on a rock in one of their tunnels. "Oh wow, that's a rune marker, we're getting close to the treasure chamber"

DUN DUN DUN! Find out next time on, The Curse of Oak Island!

I gave up on this show after like 2 seasons
I was dumb enough to watch it for that long before figuring out that they weren't really trying that hard and weren't going to find anything anyway
the guys who bought it are lame homosexuals
it needs to be sold to some saudi oil billionaire who will tear apart the entire ecosystem to find any clue of anything that was ever there
Any and all History Channel or Travel Channel television shows are best viewed as white noise. It's something to have up in the background at a low volume while you're talking with family, or while you're going to sleep, or while nobody is in the room.
I'm ashamed to say they got me too.
First of, I knew they weren't going to find anything. What people don't realize is that all these shows about finding evidence for UFOs, Bigfoot, Dragos, Mermaids or Nessie are moronic and you don't need to watch to know for a fact they won't find anything, because if they did you wouldn't be learning about it in a shitty History Channel rerun, you'd know from the news and Facebook and Twitter.
But even then, even knowing that... I still fell for it because I thought they were finding some interesting stuff in those tiny trinkets that would occasionally come up.
It took me 2 or 3 seasons to put my foot down and go "Ok, a fricking Brittish empire coin isn't worth all this shitty filler"
The final straw was when they had divers inside 10-X and nothing that old c**t swore was there was actually there. Dude obviously had a few glimpses of shit while on a terrible diving suit, under compression, on a tiny hole, but that was enough for him to be sure of a body being down there.
Fricker was doing this for nearly 50 years, if he was full of shit then everyone else was. They sure rode a lot on his claims and when they found nothing they just brushed it off.
And I actually think there was something there, but it has been obviously destroyed by hundreds of digs. Even now, with the Oak Island crew saying they're careful, imagine how much shit gets destroyed from bore pipes and flooding caves.
The guys who recovered the paddleboat had to pump out epic amounts of water, the boat was over 40' down and the water table was 10'.
Those guys are nothing but continuous excuses.
I watched because I had read about the island and I thought it was cool that two guys who had some extra money bought it to find something there
it became clear though that they were still businessmen first and trying to recoup their investment with the show was their priority over actually finding anything there
look at it from their perspective:
they buy it, make the show, make all the money back plus more during the dig/show, sell it later on to someone else who thinks they can find something = massive profit + popularity
the sad thing is that the whole thing is a shitshow and there's nothing there anymore
pirates probably hid something there for a while and recovered it later
it's been empty for hundreds of years
I believe at some point a long ways back a black guy was farming cabbage on the island or something, then suddenly he's buying up a lot of property/houses and such. Coincidence?
Yeah, at first I thought they were cool guys who really wanted to get to the bottom of it, but they kept bringing in people who were loons with moronic stories about their family owning treasure or being templars or whatever the frick, and they kept listening to them with straight faces and entertaining them. And I know for a fact Marty would not put up with this shit if it wasn't for the show.
The moment people are acting dishonestly I instantly lose interest.
No, a running series is what you do when you don't/don't expect to find anything.
If you EXPECT to find a shit-ton of gold, you keep it under your hat, and then people will come to YOU and beg to do a 2 hour special about your found treasure.
Nop. I was really, really into ufology and crypto shit growing up.
I've seen hundreds of thousands of hours of series and documentaries like Monster Quest, Hunting for Bigfoot or whatever.
People have been combing through forests with cameras for many years. The most they have ever found is some fur, then they DNA test it and at best they'll say "we don't know what animal this is", which is probably just indicative of their shitty testing.
Don't even get me started on lake Ness, that shit has been combed with sonar, tons of cameras, even DNA samples of most of the living thins in the entire lake, absolutely nothing was ever found.
It's all bullshit.
Show is a scam. A group of 5 airconditioning repairmen found a sunk Missouri River riverboat that was under 40'+ of Earth, far from the banks of the actual river (Missou River shifted banks a LOT), it was in the middle of a cornfield.
The found it, drilled down into wood around it and could totally map out its edges, and come winter excavated it and recovered a warehouse full of cool shit perfectly preserved.
Then they went and found a second sunken buried riverboat even deeper, all without the fancy bullshit the Oak Island scammers play with, with a MUCH larger search area.
My Dad loves this stupid fricking show and their quest for buried Incan Templar Martian gold.
It shouldn't have taken 9 day, let alone however many decades these idiots have been obsessing over it. I remember first reading about this place as a kid and I'm in my mid 30's now.
Every television show is conceived as one season's worth of actual story, after which the producers make writers shit out episodes centered around petty character drama until the returns fail to cover production costs.
They're probably never getting the treasure and its kind of sad but I think the amount of structures they've uncovered under the land is impressive enough and warrants rewriting colonist history to some degree. I really subscribe to the boat sunken beneath the manmade swamp idea. Hopefully the son keeps this going after the dads croak.
People saying they aren't finding anything are stupid. It took several seasons but in one of the later seasons they uncovered tons of underground structures that they unearthed themselves. More interesting than treasure imo
There's clearly nothing there and there never was.
Yeah, this. It was never a mystery. There was never treasure. It was just a hole.

And I should mention they excavated an area about the size of a football field, not a pit.
What paddle boat?

It shouldn't take 9 episodes. This kind of moronic shit proves just how catastrophically stupid the general population really is.

I am not, my Pops has been watching it for ages.
