A strong start - season 6

[MikeN]

No 100' void over by the "latrine"? Laughable. A tunnel with a latrine in it from hundreds of years ago so the Templars could poop between shifts of constructing the money pit? I was laughing so hard! So now that sizemic mumbo jumbo is garbage as the "void" was just soft sand? The "steel plate" was granite?

My favorite quote was "Dan's latrine hole, to me, is way more exciting than anything..."

The historical supporting evidence of the "Steel plate" would be interesting ... was there anything but a "hard object", or did he really bring up steel filings?

Yes funny! Even better when said with a Beavis n Butthead voice.

When the Geo dude cut the bag open, he had granite and smashed it with his hammer... that was "the steel plate" that a "sonic drill" couldn't drill through.

My guess would be if he did get steel fillings they were from his drill head as he tried to drill thought that very hard granite.. He combined that with wishful thinking....

Another of the "supposed" unexplained mysteries of OI shown to be nothing but natural. There is something a bit obscene to see the money they are wasting now when they know there is no treasure...

 

[franklin]

Oh but there is treasure.

What...The Heck!

I cannot believe that the Brothers are not keeping 95 year old Dan Blankenship involved with the present searching for the Treasure of Oak Island.



He lives right on the island...but every time he hears and sees what they are up to...he is amazed.

With his experience...I would not make a move without his consultation.

By the way...The Water Tunnels are located Way Past from where this Coffer Dam is now being constructed ...as they rise up at a right angle some 90 feet deep... at a distance where the ice holes showed the dye was coming up at.

With only being able to dig down some 10 feet with this Coffer Dam,,,they may find the old pier used to transport workers from Frog Island!

The cracks are starting to show in the ratings

The winner this week was “WWE SmackDown” on USA, which scored the same 0.7 rating in adults 18-49 that it did last week, yet still managing to eke out the other competition and climb to the peak of the chart. Just beneath it was “Curse of Oak Island” on History, another series that holds onto its 0.7 score week after week.

So a SERIOUS treasure hunting show has been beaten by a MAKE BELIEVE fighting show... Oh no what is the world coming too...

Maybe they will call him when they need some advice on dowsing.

Episode 6...States that John the Baptist...Had a Problem with Polygyny

Polygyny is explicitly not forbidden in the Old Testament!

Polygyny is the entailing the marriage of a man with several women.

According to the Synoptic Gospels, Herod, who was tetrarch, or sub-king, of Galilee under the Roman Empire, had imprisoned John the Baptist because he reproved Herod for divorcing his wife (Phasaelis, daughter of King Aretas of Nabataea) and unlawfully taking Herodias, the wife of his brother Herod Philip I.

No..What John The Baptist disproved of was...Adultery.

The coveting of another man's wife and the sexual fornication with her!

He is looking pretty old and feeble.. He has probably had enough of it and no longer believes that a treasure exists... Probably sick of the "circus" that the Lagina brothers are now making out of the whole thing now. It has clearly stopped being about looking for treasure quite a while back...

I feel a bit sorry for him actually....

Close to 1 million more viewers watched The Curse of Oak Island than Smackdown...How does that equate to losing the the top ratings?

Sounds to me like a Wrestling...Fix!

"Polygamy".

Heck, If you go with Genesis 'ol Eve had to have had Adam, Cain and Seth to keep humans pumping out . . . though Cain went and found a wife that wasn't Eve . . . somehow.

Weren't Abraham and David both polygamists according to the Bible? And Solomon had 1,000 wives!

If there was a Solomon or David.

 

[ConceptualizedNetherlandr]

This episode was meh. They found some wood and that was about it. I watch it Just because there is nothing on during that time slot. But that narrator he gets on my nerves. Sipping on some crown royal males it a bit more tolerable. Stay tuned for next wks episode where they find a Jim beam bottle at a depth of 175 ft lol.

Well that is enlightening. what do crown royal males taste like?

All metals will sink deeper into the ground with each freezing Winter until they fall below the freeze line or they encounter solid stone.

And how deep do you figger that is?

Its all in the interpretation of book of Genesis ..God populated the earth long before Adam & Eve . . The garden of Eden was an experiment that eventually failed miserably. The tempting of Eve was an unexpected event by Azaziel the banished Angel (rival of God) and through Gods blunder was banished (and his followers) from heaven and cast them to (of all places) the very earth god had created. HE was transformed from angel to serpent after the Eve incident, and cast into the lake of fire at a later date. In Ancient times a man could have as many wives as he could afford ( which explains the over abundance of beggars and thieves back in the day) since there was no mention of monogamous marriage in the 10 commandments only worshiping one God The adultery and coveting commandments make sense because if you have several wives, you should not lust after a someone else.

You are correct! I learned something new!


Leave it to the Old Testament to point out the good stuff!

 

[Keith Jackson]

Thats to be expected sheet piling is NOT watertight .. All that can be done is to dig a well point (sump) and pump the water out . Hopefully the pumping can stay ahead of the inflow of water , then stuff the real bad leaks with oakum or rope that will swell and reduce the water flow Thats about all that can be done.

Could they stuff the leaks with coconut fiber?

 

[franklin]

When is the next show going to air? Is it going to be a recap of the previous six shows? What time and day? Thanks.
