I'm reaching the breaking point with Oak Island ...how bout you ?

[Stretch Da Truth]

I'm kind of surprised none of the metal detecting or gold prospecting equipment companies are running ads during the show. Seems like the right target audience might catch the dream. I don't know anything about the $. Maybe it's too expensive

Winner!! Winner!! This is actually both good and bad. Good as it would make new people want to go out and buy, buy, buy! Bad as the seasoned people would say "Whats he using that old piece of crap for... should be using a bla, bla x2-27psi with 3 in 1 oil and gauze tape!"

Dang!!!! Making me spit coffee on the monitor is acceptable, The dog is still pissed!

Excellent comment!!!

Suppose they just dammed off the end of the island and did an open pit excavation just like some of the coal or copper mines? Oh yeah, guess they have to have somewhere to put the material they move and it is an island. Just a thought.

I can't stand the show, not since the first mention of re-writing history, based on no evidence, and at least a half dozen compounded wild "what-if's".
For what it's worth if I go to a site and find nothing in two hours, I'm moving on looking for a more productive site, so after 200 years of beating the Oak Island dead horse, there is just one word for people like that.

Frankly it boggles my mind how seemingly intelligent people believe in this stuff. It also surprises me how many locals claim to be in the "in" regarding Oak Island. There are even rumors circulating that I won't repeat that are even more ridiculous that what gets on air.

That said it is NO different than every other "reality" show on TV they are all total BS. A couple of them already mentioned in this thread, the bigfoot, and ghost hunters all the way down to the airplane repo guys.

I watched episode 1 when it first aired then I quit until the other night when I was channel surfing and tuned it in abut the time they were getting an ID on the roman sword that supposedly came from the waters off the coast of the island. Did I miss anything significant between these two shows? I think I know the answer but thought I would set you up for some good replies.

The only thing you have missed has been a lot of useless digging and lots of chasing whatever crackpot theory they could find just to stretch the show another season. I haven't seen a lot of the episodes and I haven't even had a desire to watch them on instant viewing.

 

[PatrickD]

Okay, it's all PatrickD's fault that show keeps going! No more tossing junk aside without thinking some fool(yes,. Maybe even me) might find it and think they're on to something. Of course if digger27's "little" bomb goes off, we will have to find a new group to pick on, back to Beale maybeOr not.

I keep waiting for them to find the pull tabs just to hear what ancient Spanish device they will be presented as.

 

[Geobound]

I just got an inside scoop as to how next season is going to kick off.

Now as stated before I have absolutely zero interest in this show, but if what I heard is true then I will most certainly be tuning in.

Apparently one of the producers on the show who is a bit of a boozer was chatting it up with a friend of a friend, and after a couple of too many shots his lips started flapping and he spilled the plot line.

Now most of you are probably sitting here reading this post and thinking its a pile of crap, but why would anybody make something like this up?

I mean the logistics of this are quite conceivable, and since television is such a tight knit community anything is possible.

Most producers are bound to the equivalent of a gag order (I don't know what television terms are called but I'm sure somebody here will know), so this guy could lose his job.

Imagine getting the inside scoop on a show like this and blabbing it to people. The lost revenue that would follow could be catastrophic to the network and players.

Anyway as I was saying this producer was sitting in the bar having a few shots, when a friend of a friend heard him tell the whole story......

Oh crap my wife is calling me for dinner, I will continue this later.

 

[De.Digger]

I say we bring in Todd Hoffman from GoldRush. He ain't doin too well, but he could have that island dug up in about 2 weeks ! lmao

 

[coinshooter]

Didnt you guys know they already found the treasure?

 

[dsdigger]

Man, what a pulltab coinshooter! That thing is huge and could be recycled for a value of what Find some more like that and there on to something, "previous Searcher Recycle".

 

[Geobound]

I think the big surprise for next season is that despite years of people believing that Elvis is working in a Dairy Queen in Tennessee, he is actually working in Oak Island with Michael Jackson.

The two of them are convinced that this is where Jimmy Hoffa is hidden, and that's why Rick and Marty keep finding signs of things down in the hole.

 

[SweepNbeep]

I've never seen the show, or even heard of it until the other day (I don't have cable). But, an old acquaintance of mine and I were catching up the other day, and I mentioned to him that I had gotten into metal detecting, and relic hunting. His eyes immediately lit up, as he began to tell me all about Oak Island, and the golden buttons, and Captain Kid's ship being stuck in the mud, and the Knights of Templar, Queen of England, and so on and so forth. No matter how many time I asked him however, he couldn't explain to me exactly why everybody on earth hid their treasure in the exact same spot, 200 feet down. It didn't make any sense to me then, and now I know that I needn't rush out to watch it.

 

[sprailroad]

O.K. The legend of 7 must die? How about they do the only thing they haven't tried yet. One quick little human sacrifice, and get it over with.

My sensibilities die a little bit every time I watch it.
That should count for something.

 

[Daryn]

Actually the 7th did die when Fred or whatever that other land owners name was kicked the bucket. Still only finding wood. I find wood every morning and I don't have a show.

 

[dsdigger]

Okay Geobound, let's see if I have this right: Elvis, Michael Jackson and Jimmy Hoffa are sitting in Elvis' Cadillac at the bottom of the shaft with Michael's monkey and popcorn watching music videos and reruns of Viva Las Vegas So the treasure might actually be a monkey that can hold its' breath that long or whatever's left of the Caddy? Alright, bring in the bigger hammer grab!

 

[Relicific]

I can't believe they are gonna milk another season.

 

[Cognostic]

It's a weird place. I lost interest in it years ago but occasionally see something on YouTube. Same old stuff. Until another billionaire gets the bug, I think we have seen the end of the search. So much about Oak Island makes no sense. Perhaps the answer is out there but I will leave it to people with more money and more brains than me.
