New Season of “The Curse of Oak Island” Tuesday, November 12 @ 9PM/8c; Stream Next Day [VIDEO]

Rick and Marty Lagina are back, alongside their talented team, and closer than ever to solving the 229-year-old treasure mystery of Oak Island. Using cutting-edge technology and know-how, new discoveries will shed light on the treasure mystery and new secrets will be revealed, corroborating a key suspicion from the team.

The Curse of Oak Island follows brothers Marty and Rick Lagina, through their efforts to find the speculated treasure believed to be on Oak Island. The series discusses the history of the island, recent discoveries, theories, and earlier investigations of the site. Areas of interest include the “money pit”, Borehole 10-X, Smith’s Cove, Site 2, “Nolan’s Cross”, the “Hatch”, and the “Swamp”.

Working with representatives from Dumas Contracting Ltd., the Garden Shaft in the Money Pit area will extend the refurbished 82-foot deep, mid-18th century structure down some twenty feet deeper underground where they hope to breach a mysterious tunnel discovered one year ago that runs almost directly beneath the shaft and into an area known as “The Baby Blob” where high trace evidence of gold, silver and other metals was previously detected through cutting edge water testing.

Meanwhile, the Lagina’s Fellowship will proceed with a strategic core drilling program across the area in search of other valuable targets that Dumas can potentially help them reach by constructing new underground tunnels. On Lot 5, located on the western side of the island, working with archaeologist Laird Niven and his associates, the team will continue investigating the entire area, including two mysterious stone features that may date back more than a century prior to the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795. Last year, it was on this newly acquired property that metal detection expert Gary Drayton unearthed not only an ancient Roman coin but also a lead barter token, which may be connected to the 14th century lead cross that was discovered back in 2017 at Smith’s Cove.

Meanwhile, in the swamp, the team reconstitutes their investigations of numerous man-made structures, some of which, have been dated back as much as eight centuries. As stunning discoveries continue to be unearthed during all of these endeavors on Oak Island, the team’s research will lead to the most monumental journey overseas yet to multiple European and North American destinations that will offer new, shocking evidence that the medieval order of the Knights Templar may very well be connected to the world’s longest running treasure hunt.

The Lagina brothers became fascinated with the island after reading the January 1965 issue of Reader’s Digest magazine that features an article on the Restall family’s work to investigate the so-called “money pit”. Marty and Rick obtained a controlling interest in Oak Island Tours, which reportedly owns most of the island. The brothers were later approached by Prometheus Entertainment to do a reality show, and engaged the assistance of father-and-son Dan and Dave Blankenship, permanent residents of the island who had likewise been searching for treasure since the 1960s.

The series explores various Oak Island theories and conjectures through conversations with independent researchers. Persons featured have included Zena Halpern discussing her theory about North African gold and sharing copies of a French map of the island that she claims is dated to 1347, J. Hutton Pulitzer discussing his theory of ancient mariner visitations, Petter Amundsen discussing his theory about codes hidden in Shakespearean literature and a secret project involving Sir Francis Bacon and the Rosicrucians, Daniel Ronnstam discussing his theory about the 90-foot stone being a dual cypher containing instructions on how to defeat the money pit flood tunnels with corn, authors Kathleen McGowen and Alen Butler discussing their theory involving the fabled Knights Templar treasure and an alleged relocation of historical religious artifacts to the island, and John O’Brien discussing his theory that the island contains treasures of the Aztec Empire. It has also been suggested by Zena Halpern, without evidence, that the Templars worshipped the Phoenician goddess Tanit.
