Season 5

The obvious proof is a complete lack of oxidation for a lead item that had supposedly been exposed to the elements for hundred’s (or thousand’s of years) depending on the made up story one is referencing.

The second bit of proof is the fact that they take a trip to a castle in europe one week and the next week find a lead cross that “matches” carvings on a wall in the castle that were carved by teeth and fingernails.

And finally it was found by a “metal detecting expert” who makes a Minelab CTX3030 look like a $39 kids toy store unit...

The hoax continues...........[/QUOTE

I'm not going to go into the many stages of the oxidation process in lead or its alloys, but I will say that in my own humble opinion the Lagina's have no part in any type of hoax or lies concerning Oak Island.

Cheers, Loki

Regarding the cross, be it "Real" or Faked, made 400 years ago or 4 months ago, it's irrelevant. It's very clear to any viewer from any corner of the world it is a cross: a religious symbol in existence for thousands of years, carried here and there and lost the world over. To link it to anything is imagination gone wild...

It probably wouldn't have gone well, anyhow.

"Dateline 06Feb2018: Oak Island authorities report that Canadian Police have taken a New Yorker into custody in the murder of a popular TV fictional series commentator. The New Yorker, who was not identified, kept shouting "WILL YOU SHUT UP" as he stuffed a microphone down the victim's throat."

It's the find of the Century, 1200 BC, it even puts the Roman Sword to shame.

Maybe the fake Roman sword was dropped by the same person wearing the fake cross?

If one seriously believes that the laginas, blankenships, tester, etc. are not continuing the hoax for profit (just as all othe companies and individuals before them), I’ve got some extremely valuable swamp land for sale in Arkansas rumored to hold a vast Aztec treasure and Cornish miner graves.....also possible alien artifacts and Edgar Allan Poe’s secret grave as well........

Just finished watching tonight’s comedy hour........interesting how the fake lead cross turned out not to be a Christian symbol but a Phoenician goddess symbol...who the templars may have been somehow connected to.....what a joke. I continue watching for the comedic value as most mainstream comedies suck as they try to be funny where the oak island crew’s antics are funny in the blithering execution of their tasks...of course if gary drayton shows up in a speedo in the swamp, I’m done.....wouldn’t be able to unforget that.

I took a detailed look at the image of the carvings tonight. Looking close, there are discrepancies between the material around the cross vs. the rest of the wall of carvings. Appears to be some photoshop work happening here....

Just finished watching tonight’s comedy hour

They ran into the old drill bit / old steam engine block that was creating the metal signature and thus ruined the casing bits. Probably the same metal that killed the previous drill bit. But as next week's preview implies, they are also close to the fully pressurized booby trap and water will rush in and fly up the pipe like an oil gusher, causing the rig workers to run for their lives.

I have to call bull crap on the cross being anything but an old cross. Lead? Possibly 1500s at the earliest. 1800s at the latest. Square nail hole suggests that was a possibility. But not some kind of ancient goddess talisman...

 

[skybolt]

If you believe these so called experts, everything in earth history can be linked to the Templars, including ancient gods, neanderthals and dinosaur bones.

 

[port ewen ace]

the "head" on the cross has a square nail hole-----OMG, THEY KILLED THE PHOENICIAN GODDESS IN AN ACT OF HERESY-----------
NOW WE IS AT 1200 B.C.-----
& GAWWY got a treasure chest hinge----
I got 5 of those from farm fields & yards in Ulster county, NY---- they date to 1700 B.C.---- cause the arrow points I have are Late Woodland Little Ice Age leaf points from that time period---- and rocks in the fields are much older---- so why do I find Colonial coppers here



could it be-----_______ they were left by time travelers from the past leaving treasures from the future-----

_____ now I just confused myself_______ ------------------------

see ya in the WAR ROOM

You should fix your post #568 as you made it look like I made these stupid comments!

That one lady who stated that the lead cross was the find of the century was super annoying. If they had told her the Knight's Templars crapped all over the prison walls she'd say "oh wowww, that is unbelievable. This has got to be the single greatest discovery in human history!" Also, was the show insinuating that the shape of the cross originated from the Phoenician goddess, even though the narrator kept saying the goddess had a triangular bottom shape? So basically the Christian cross had been around for over 1,000 years when the Templars came along, but they decided to depict the Phoenician goddess on the prison walls instead?! Thank goodness the rest of the show concentrated more on the actual digging. It'll be interesting to find out the dating on that wooden stake found in the swamp.

Last night's episode was quite disappointing. It was basically 15 minutes stretched out into 1 hour and 3 minutes. This latest cross thing is complete BS. Now they are REALLY stretching things with these theories. Honestly they just need to dig and leave all these speculations aside.

Well said. Finding clues to where the treasure is potentially hidden is good information to acquire during Seasons 1 and 2, but by Season 5, you need to FIND the treasure first and then figure out where it came from. For instance, even if the cross is 800 years old and wasn't planted by the crew (a big if!), why can't it have drifted to Smith's Cove after a collector lost it many years ago. Collectors in North America own objects that are thousands of years old, but that doesn't mean these objects originated from here.

stretching things out is the story line this season, for instance they make one find like the cross then they go home, come back two shows later, metal detect the area again, make a find, then have to quit and call up Marty etc.. The money pit, treat the area like parker schnabel would treat a potential gold bearing site, dig it all up,the entire site, bring in some powerful pumps and keep them running around the clock

The show has about run it's course. If they go on maybe one more season and that's it. The guy who found treasure I would say is the black dude who became rich in his days..I would say he found the hidden box.

at the beginning of the season last fall, they sucked me in, I got the feeling there was a break through this season.
