I'm not saying your wrong but one could assume that the production company would try to hold that information. From what I understand with these production companies, anyone associated with the show signs a confidentiality agreement. The only way for the press to find out would be the production company.

If that Backhoe is showing on the preview then it means they have already used it,my guess being at the Money Pit site.Unbelievable,Dunfield did the same in the 1960's down to 140ft and found nothing and I'll bet neither did the Lagina brothers.

They need something more then that backhoe for that depth you would think.

I had a friend working in Chester this past summer tell me that he had seen excavators being brought onto the island. My guess is they dug in the swamp.

They may had dug up the treasure by now. I am sure the treasures is there, but, very hard to dig it up. Good luck to them.

Excavators? As in giant earth-moving machines ? To me this sounds like they are getting desperate to uncover anything at all. I have a hard time believing an archaeologist would approve the use of such machines if they were convinced the site had historical or cultural significance.

Then again, the soil on that island has been churned so much by treasure seekers over the last 150 years any chances at good archaeology have long passed.

Not really. If the operator is good and understands terracing, depth isn't a problem for a trackhoe. There's guys in Colorado that dig 50+ feet frequently. One guy we worked with was a big 24 year old farmboy man! that kid worked circles around the oldsters on the site, and fast too without compromising safety.

Agree with AARC, about time for the big machinery. Tought they would have pulled it out before season 3. We'll see but I don't expect much.

I just had a daydream about Indiana Jones battling with the Nazis .. Only instead of fisticuffs on the back of panzer tanks in the Cairo desert, its Indy fighting Caterpillars on Oak Island.

Someone hand me another brew, please ;)

I'm hoping they are digging in the swamp to be able to rule it in or out. Might just be looking for the water passages to The Money Pit.. Also they need to better search the "Sink Hole" area with a backhoe that can go further down then 10' or so that they used last year.. Probably no treasure there but would help give the path of the tunnels maybe.. I'd do more core drilling at the Money Pit site before just digging it up. A full gridded area to determine if they actually have anything of value down there besides the wood they hit last already.. Remember they aren't even actually sure where the Money Pit spot is anymore. Just a guessing game after being dug up so many times...

They need equipment to hold the water back, or they will never recover any treasures. But, good luck.
