Beta Analytic (who the Laginas used for dating) themselves state that terrestrial samples that have been immersed for centuries in seawater or subterranean fresh water flowing through limestone WILL DATE AS BEING OLDER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE - by as much as 500 years. Check out "Marine Reservoir Effect" and "Hard Water Effect".

It would also be nice if they stopped finding “experts” for every wacked out theory that is floating around out there, but we know that the only way it will stop is when the show gets canceled.

I watched for about 5 minutes the other day, about all I could stand...of incessant head nodding.. :3some:

Because they are likely to find objects much more interesting in the privy.......can’t have that on the show. :laughing7:

I suspected all along that the wood cribbing dated in the 1700s is actually from season 245, in which the Lagina children time travel back to Oak Island to dig and shore up another tunnel with wood from the year 2236.

[Narrator Robert Clotworthy's voice]: "Corn remains in an ancient Templar privy...? More evidence of pre-Columbian European contact with Native People of the New World...? Marty has asked noted caprolite expert Thomas Scatsniffer to examine..."
