Rick Lagina: If You Do This Right Now, You're FIRED!!

simple basic mining always 300 ft was the extent of their ventilation there would have to be a ventilation shaft that's probably hidden that's why I figured there was another shaft up there and all of a sudden I looked and I went The Money Pit shaft and when the Aztec came to hide the treasures Rick's famous for taking risks but when it came to this one thing he let the whole crew know if you do this right now you're fired this was a mistake the team could not afford and if you're curious to know what it was stay tuned cause we're about to dive deep into it The Money Pit on Oak Island remains one of the most captivating and mysterious treasure hunts in history over the centuries countless Expeditions have attempted to unearth its Secrets but it continues to stay mysterious the lagina brothers leading the current exploration efforts have faced numerous challenges as they excavate deeper into the pit there Journey showcased on the TV series The Curse of Oak Island has been marked by both triumphs and unexpected hurdles recently the team has been focusing on the garden shaft an 18th century structure they have expanded to a depth of around 100 ft this effort revealed what appeared to be a 17th century wooden tunnel sparking excitement and hope among the crew a previous core drilling operation had traced this tunnel Westward to an area called Baby blob where water tests showed high levels of gold and silver between 80 and 120 ft deep however the crew was surprised to learn that most of the tunnel they discovered near the garden shaft had been removed long ago leaving no walls or ceilings representatives from deas Contracting limited will conduct a probe drilling operation in the next few days now that the garden shaft has been extended to6 ft to look for sections of the tunnel that may still be intact and to locate the possible treasure the probe drilling activity in The Money Pit area extended into the garden shaft which is over 100 ft deep suddenly water began to rush into the structure as officials from deas Contracting limited were conducting a horizontal probe drilling operation to examine the possible Treasure Tunnel beneath the garden shaft initially the crew didn't pay much attention but a preview showed miners scrambling for safety struggling to escape the deep shaft as it filled with water which looked like a torrent this area might be one of the infamous and mysterious flood tunnels or booby traps installed by the original depositors these tunnels are rumored to flood the area with seawater whenever treasure hunters get close to the loot acting as a security device to thwart their efforts Rick suspected that when they dug into a tunnel connected to a region with significant levels of valuable Metals deep down they might have burst one of the famous flood tunnels that have defied treasure hunters for over two centuries this issue will be a major headache for the crew and could set the project back possibly stalling operations for weeks or longer however the experienced deas miners are capable of fixing it and if it is a flood tunnel it proves the crew is getting close additionally famous researcher John Edwards will be examining the area around Nolan's cross hoping to find remains of a larger structure that he believes points to the burial site of the Ark of the Covenant in a preview the crew found a Boulder at might be the marker John was looking for and Billy Gart is ready with his Digger to investigate further with the help of Jack Begley meanwhile in this otherwise disastrous episode there is a silver lining Rick lagina and historian Doug crowl examine an interesting copper artifact that Doug believes may be a viking origin the artifact was found on Oak Island and is thought to be a viking origin recently the team has been working on a theory that the temp Knights and the Vikings collaborated to hide a significant treasure on the island in the 13th century hopefully they will develop this Theory further as the Templar Theory stands Out Among the various theories concerning the treasure on Oak Island despite the current water problems in the garden shaft it remains a cherished part of Oak Island and was the sight of a significant Discovery in season 10 an exciting treasure hunt follows as Brandon Vanderhoof and his team set off on a probe drilling operation in episode 16 of season 10 led by Dumas Contracting limited the team set out with determination to make a breakthrough excitement filled the air as they had already detected signs of gold through careful water testing adding to the Island's Mystique positioned at a depth of 55 ft in the garden shaft the team geared up for what could be a crucial moment the anticipation and enthusiasm were palpable as Brandon Alex and Rick exchanged greetings believing this day could bring them closer to the long sought after treasure an earlier discovery of a void at 55 ft in the garden shaft was one of the standout finds that fueled their excitement located a few feet Southwest of the garden shaft this void has sparked intense speculation the crew hasn't ruled out the possibility that it could be the legendary treasure Vault of The Money Pit Marty lagain in particular expressed his eagerness stating I'm hoping for something very substantial in the garden shaft this is where the treasure hunt begins as preparations for the probe drilling operation are underway the team is focused on not only discovering the void but also delving deeper into the mysteries of Oak Island Dumas Contracting limited entrusted with the crucial task employs a powerful hydraulic Earth drill designed to penetrate even the toughest obstacles like hard clay sediment and rock while the main goal is to explore the interesting void void the team has a broader plan their strategy involves drilling a total of 12 holes each in a different direction on the four walls of the shaft this careful approach aims to uncover any additional evidence of human activity or potential Treasures but the operation doesn't just involve Drilling in their quest for understanding the team sees the importance of collecting soil samples and preserving small pieces of wood they believe wood can absorb gold particles like a sponge especially since previous water samples have shown High gold values in the area as they gear up for the day's work Rick lagina shows particular interest in the wood and soil samples knowing they could provide important Clues to the presence of gold nearby his dedication to the Hunt is clear as he takes responsibility for heading to the lab with these samples showing the team's trust in science as a crucial part of their search the next day an unexpected crowd gathers around them a testament to the interest surrounding the Oak Island Treasure Hunt among the onlookers is Emma Culligan an archaeologist with critical information to share she has been diligently working on the wood samples collected from the garden shaft with precise analysis she reveals a discovery that could make anyone excited gold the confirmation of gold in the wood sample is a significant Revelation a clear sign that the treasure they seek might be closer than ever before with her careful and accurate work Emma is absolutely certain of the presence of gold the excitement in the room is tangible felt by everyone present though visibly thrilled by the discovery Marty lagina asks about the accuracy of the analysis and Emma confidently confirms her findings the gold while at a concentration of just zero 11% is a meaningful Discovery in the context of their quest for the team it's a Beacon of Hope lighing the way toward their ultimate goal with the possibility of treasure feeling closer than ever the team seeks to confirm this remarkable Discovery through further crosschecking with water samples and additional tests science plays a crucial role in their search for Oak Island Treasure and Emma's find is proof of that Rick lagina the team's leader stresses the importance of Science in their Quest and notes how this analysis has injected fresh inspiration into their effort the smiles around the table aren't just expressions of Joy but also signs of renewed determination the garden shaft presents a unique opportunity for the team one they approach with humility and intelligence it's a moment to learn from past mistakes and seize the chance to unearth the treasures that have eluded them for so long as Applause erupts for Emma's remarkable Discovery the team realizes they're on the brink of something extraordinary their journey to decode the Mysteries of Oak Island takes a momentous step forward and they eagerly await what the future holds in the following days fueled by The Hope brought by the presence of gold in the wood samples the team intensifies their efforts their determination and commitment to uncovering the truth drive them forward bringing them closer to the elusive secrets of Oak Island with each passing day their optimism grows and they eagerly anticipate the next breakthrough that will bring them closer to uncovering the fable Treasures hidden beneath the island surface the garden shaft is one of the most important parts of Oak Island as it has been the source of many significant discoveries in the fourth episode of the 11th season the drilling team begins an operation to create an 82ft bore hole previously drilled and reported to contain pieces of high metal materials in the eastern part of the garden shaft the core extracted was soft and moist at a depth of 53 ft indicating proximity to a structure Poss the tunnel at about 95 ft into drilling borle D5 n27 the team made a thrilling Discovery a chunk of wood unique because it's usually found deeper typically within 99 ft and lower while the finding is exciting it raises questions about the structure's height compared to the one Westward reports suggest the recovered wood samples show evidence of precious metals likely from a different tunnel Steve supports this Theory by ident identifying the wood type as Spruce suggesting a different structure Additionally the wood's hardness and condition indicate it might have been used at the top of an offset chamber unfortunately due to the scheduled work of the deas crew the next search was rushed and the team had to wait until their operation was over before any research or exploration could be conducted around the garden shaft the drilling team hurried through the operation to meet their limited time frame while striving for a groundbreaking discovery they drilled into borole c5n 27 but found nothing until they hit a void at 104 ft indicating soil disturbance but no significant Discovery however at 111 ft they found a large piece of wood followed by softer and more scattered wood pieces in subsequent cores Terry observed irregular axe cuts on the wood dating the structures construction to before 1795 the woods hand Hune stri indicates it age and suggests it might have been part of the tunnel's floor or roof affected by soil activities aging and erosion the main concern is whether anything remains in the tunnel due to limited time and preparation for deam masa's crew the team had to wait to find out what might have been discovered at deeper ranges each operation in the garden shaft brings the team closer to finding the long sought after treasure in episode 7 of season 11 the deas crew completes construction of of the shaft and enters it as an entryway to get beneath the garden shaft a moment they've eagerly anticipated Rick Marty lagina and Roger foron from the deas crew encounter water seemingly coming from the tunnel soil when they reach 87 ft deep to stop the leakage Roger plans to make holes in the wall and spray urethane to seal them the construction brings the team closer to the tunnel running directly under the garden shaft and towards the baby blob an unexplored area for Searchers aside from the long-forgotten treasure the team achieves another goal with the construction of the horizontal shaft they also prepare reports on precious materials tested in the waters of The Money Pit area with Dr lukeman conducting fluorescent spectroscopy testing on the water for evidence of metal materials wood organic materials and pottery one bore hole l16 showed a different result when tested according to Ian the bore hole leads to a large void known to the team as Aladdin's cave the bore hole also contains highquality gold and organic materials suggesting a wooden structure possibly a tunnel inside although finding wood at that depth is unlikely they considered the possibility to learn more they drilled a new bore hole kl1 14.5 to intercept L6 and reached the center of Aladdin's cave at 153 ft they encountered a 10t void with wood likely the entrance to the tunnel using the anutin Spectrum 120 highdef camera they investigated deeper into the cave at 142 ft they observed a square-headed bolt indicating human activity in Aladdin's cave dropping the camera further they saw a side wall or a collapsing Boulder the presence of the bolt raises questions about its purpose is it a lock to open the real treasure chamber the team agreed that a sonar examination would provide more details on their Discovery the effort invested in the garden shaft by the Oak Island crew continues to yield significant discoveries amidst the mud and debris of the garden shaft Gary made a remarkable Discovery an ancient iron wedge that hinted at potential riches beneath Oak Island but what Secrets does this ancient iron wedge hold and is it significant in episode 6 of the season after discovering precious materials in the muddy debris collected from the garden shaft by the Dumas crew Gary's statement where there's mck there's money proved to be true since the construction company couldn't handle everything simultaneously and was focused on the drilling operation in the garden shaft the team improvised by collecting the debris into a truck and dumping it on neutral ground to be sorted out using a metal detecting device Gary and Charles sifted through the debris for signs of highquality iron soon they heard constant beeping indicating the presence of metal digging through the thick mud Gary uncovered a large chunk of flat surfaced thick iron a metal wedge Charles suggested that the artifact resembled an axe handle on a wooden staff if his observation is correct and the piece is indeed a broken part of an axe or hole it might have been used for digging through soil tunnels or structures however making such a discovery 80 ft deep below the ground is extremely rare there's a strong likelihood that the wedge was used by the original depositors of the treasure on Oak Island and dates back to 1735 the artifact was carefully sealed and taken to the interpretive Center for further analysis it's worth noting that while the garden shaft is significant the primary focus of the treasure hunt is a spot nearby The Curse of Oak Island Series has captivated fans since its launch in 2014 following Rick and Marty lagina as they pursue the mystery of Oak Island's treasure located off the coast of Nova Scotia Oak Island has fascinated treasure hunters for over two Centuries with past Seekers including Franklin D Roosevelt the 32nd president of the United States the rumored treasure is said to be immensely valuable although its exact nature remains a mystery it could be anything from Pirate Booty to the Holy Grail or even the Ark of the Covenant one particular Spot on Oak Island received special attention from the brothers during their excavation The Money Pit as the name suggests this spot has been a source of tantalizing relics including a mysterious inscribed stone and has posed numerous obstacles throughout the centuries it's no surprise that it's the focal point of their hunt situated on the east side of Oak Island The Money Pit is a shaft over 100 ft deep according to local lore it first caught the attention of a teenager in 1795 who discovered a depression in the ground and began digging with friends uncovering a man-made shaft with wooden platforms every 10 ft down to a depth of 30 ft however the exact location of the original Shaft has been obscured over time a haphazard expedition in the 1960s led to the collapse of clay seawater mud and other debris into multiple holes dug around the original Money Pit as a result the lag Brothers must excavate in spots they believe are near the original pit along with other locations across the island Rick and Marty like many before them have faced setbacks due to apparent booby traps set by previous treasure Hunters these traps in the form of tunnels dug into the ground at different depths are designed to flood the shaft with water halting further excavation these flood tunnels currently causing significant trouble for the team are a headache to deal with for instance according to the Oak Island encyclopedia there's a 500t long tunnel from nearby Smith's Cove that ensures the shaft refills with water as soon as it's pumped out however the origins of these traps remain a mystery adding complexity to the search for the treasure in their pursuit of Oak Island's treasure Gary's team utilizes advanced technology to uncover hidden secrets beneath the anomalies detected in The Money Pit area this includes Consulting IDI Technologies 2 years ago which used the muon method to provide more accurate reports during the operation 14 sensory cameras were deployed into the bore holes at The Money Pit where they remained for over 2 years continuously Gathering data placed at depths ranging from 80 to 250 ft these cameras were strategically positioned to capture any movement underground their purpose wasn't just to detect anything they were specifically targeting tunnels leading to The Money Pit vaults underground voids and areas with highdensity anomalies that might Harbor treasure or Clues to its whereabouts data on areas with high density anomalies and traces of precious metals were of utmost importance to the Oak Island team's mission after the operation representatives from idian Technologies upgraded the collected data into imagery and mapping for easier interpretation the discovery of anomalies in the garden shaft particularly the highdensity anomaly located 85 5 ft deep and 230 ft below the actual Money Pit presents a significant opportunity for the Oak Island team this area has never been explored before making it a promising Target for further investigation the presence of anomalies suggests the possibility of hidden Chambers tunnels or even Treasures especially in areas marked with orange and red colors indicating higher density anomalies additionally the low density anomalies should not be overlooked as as they could still lead to important discoveries while the team may face challenges in overcoming the new problems at The Money Pit such as navigating flood tunnels or encountering unexpected obstacles this latest Discovery opens up new avenues for exploration with their determination and advanced technology there's hope that they will be able to unravel more of Oak Island's Mysteries and potentially uncover long Hidden Treasures do you think they're getting any closer to Finding the Treasure
