7 must die searching for the treasure, huh ? Well I noticed that when Fred Nolan died the shows started with the narrator saying that 7 must die “actively “ searching for the treasure, after a couple episodes they dropped that line and went back to the original. Blankenship is now dead, and since he was in partnership with the Michigan Group, he never stopped looking for the treasure. Granted, he wasn’t digging holes, but he was still investing in the search and researching and had “boots on the ground “ as they say on the show, so he was still actively involved, I know, I saw him there on tv. So, we have 7 dead, where’s the damn loot ?

Gazzahk, excellent article.
Any legend that says people must die before treasure can be found has no connection with reality.
If someone does need to die, I nominate the announcer. Toss him down one of the boreholes.

I was hoping that it was a reference to after 7 seasons if no treasure was found by the 8th the shows funding would die.

Wasn't there one of the film crew that died while filming? I vaguely remember something about they didn't notify his family for a long time, so they could tweek the script / plot or something. Anyone able to fill in the blanks in my memory?

Seven seasons have died uneventful deaths.

Funny that some 1960's writer for "True" magazine (Jack Sivley) could come up with a unsourced statement like how many must die . . . but left no word on what the treasure is or where precisely it might be found.

I watched either part of the second season, or perhaps part of the third season. Man I thought I was gonna die because it was so phony! Haven't watched it since!

...or find Henry Sinclair's famous St Katherine ship that was scuttled in the swamp with a treasure vault 30 feet underneath.

If they would just HOP to the East as the arrow showed then maybe they would find this

We have 8 dead.....the Producer from Prometheus has passed away as of a few months ago apparently

And if you want to be really accurate....one of the people on the Production Team on the show was found dead as well in the 3rd or 4th season

Didn't hear about it when Hutton said that he was found kneeling next to his bed?

What kind of Hoaxish Trash is that I have no idea, but that would make 9 dead......

Sure it could be a hoax, a very expensive one though, and a very popular one. Popular enough that I think one of the bigger networks would have bought them out. I haven’t seen any treasure yet, but if they’re truly pulling up hand hewn timber from 150 feet underground then SOMETHING was going on there, if it was simply mining, why is there no record of it and what were they mining for ?

The timber was from previous searcher tunnels. The show's script always makes a big deal when timbers are found (as well as jack beagley's "I almost cant keep a straight face" look) but later in the episode someone always mentions the previous hoax promoting diggers that left the wood......
