"How long will this go on?? "

Well... according to the script of Season 20 episode 11...

A nail is found that may be from the beginning of nails... made by the master nail maker "HeNailio"... using a steel that only existed during the cretaceous period.

So... for at least that long.

OR till no one cares anymore.

Which ever comes first.


Hmmm... this reminds me... must set the DVR.

The original ancient prophesy from the 1960's says something like: " Seven seasons must die." So, maybe next year for season eight they'll find something.

Hmmm I think it was 7 seagulls...

So now they have to find evidence of seagull activity... like poop or seagull feet scratched into stone....

and then find and talk to a seagull expert... this part fills 1/3 an episode.

I lost interest after several episodes of finding a chunk of wood, a nail, and a pulltab.

Welcome to tnet
It’s all about cash. As long as ratings cause the network to give them cash and companies give free equipment to get their products on air it will stretch on to infinity.

I think you'd have a point if the effort on OI was being done on the cheap like Civil War Gold.

But the Laginas and Tester must be spending millions of their own money.

I've said right along that if you have that good a connection with telling the future how about just pointing out where to drive the hole to dig any treasure up. But it does make for a better treasure myth.

Hell, even if the treasure was gone maybe then the Amazing Randi would award the $1,000,000 prize for proof of the paranormal.

We have good reason to believe that was not the case. The French had a fort on the La Have river not far in the 1600s. There was a very small French/Acadian village at Mirligueche where Chester is today that barely lasted until the deportation period. You can eliminate the French from the equation around 1755. Germans are settled in the area before any English are at nearby Lunenberg. Its' the New England Planters that are the first Brits to settle in the Shoreham grant that included OI. OI was surveyed in 1762. The main survey line and the lot line headings are mixed up in the geometric details of the alleged mystery. It likely means the mystery is devised after 1762. That makes sense because Freemasons aren't really organized in NS until 1758. The mystery itself is based in reform period religious ideas that one would not immediately attribute to the French, unless they were all Hugueneots (they ones that came in 1630 with Razilly were not). There simply was no great obsession in Catholic France with Enoch's vault. It's not a trivial detail. It's the sort of Protestant fervor in this story that Mormonism was built up with. Enoch's vault is a darling theme to Freemasons. It makes very little sense that any colonial French settler would have put in place a staging of that mystery. It really only starts to make sense that it would be done after Freemasonry organizes itself in NS with the earliest British imports. A couple of sources attribute it to someone from the 61st regiment, a regiment that had been based in Ireland before it came to NS for good in 1758.

The reality is, if these men have to use extraordinary types of modern equipment to go as deep, etc...as they believe they must, the Vikings, or Norwegians just didn't have that sort of equipment. It wasn't real, or done in the way that they think treasure was hidden by depth! *Really if it quacks like a duck, it's not really realistic!

Keep in mind as I have said before, that who ever digs the first hole will have an easier time of it not caving in. The guy that digs right beside it will have some trouble, and it gets worse with every hole dug near by from then... As one hole hits water the next hole/tunnel that hits that will fill etc etc....

You do realize that anything you see not blurred is paying to be seen? Garrett and all the big equipment. Even the drilling company. If the Laginas paid they wouldn’t get the advertisement
