With over ten years on the air and centuries of speculation surrounding Oak Island, The Curse of Oak Island team may be on the verge of uncovering the legendary Money Pit.
In a new episode titled “A Fort Knight,” the Lagina brothers and crew explore a potential link to the Knights of Malta while drilling at the Money Pit site yields what Rick Lagina describes as “a huge win.”
The focus of the episode is the revived activity at the Money Pit, where engineer Craig Tester, diver Alex Lagina, surveyor Steve Guptil, Oak Island historian Charles Barkhouse, and geologist Terry Matheson investigate underground anomalies to determine the location of the original shaft.
Marty Lagina sets the stage by explaining, “We do know the positions of the various shafts relative to the Money Pit,” emphasizing the importance of aligning historical clues with modern data.
Rick Lagina, known for his patience and precision, stresses the team’s approach of using stepping stones of information to ultimately pinpoint the original Money Pit location.
The team’s cautious tactics pay off as drilling reveals what appears to be the edge of a man-made shaft, with Matheson marveling at the stacked timbers uncovered.
Tester sees this as a potential turning point, expressing relief at honing in on the Money Pit location: “When you start hitting a shaft and hitting it right away, you know where it’s at.”
As the team debates their next moves, Rick chooses to continue drilling, emphasizing the importance of confirming all four walls of the shaft to potentially uncover the original Money Pit just 14 feet away.
Viewers watching the preview on Facebook are captivated by the slow unraveling of secrets on Oak Island, intrigued by the increasing closeness to a breakthrough.
The episode also revisits the recent discovery of a chain on Lot 8, hinting at the island’s mysterious history and adding a new layer to the ongoing saga.
