Season 5

[etex]

They stirred the Roman concrete with the Roman sword

 

[skybolt]

I wonder about the quality of the concrete, if it exists there, technology wise (ingredients) and what resources they had there on hand to make this superior concrete ?

On wiki, the last episode for this season is named "Steel Trapped"....................whatever that means.

My theory has the Freemasons disposing of all the metal parts at the bottom of the Money Pit, from the Spanish and English galleons that needed to be hidden on the island.

Could these metal parts have shifted over the years?

Ever try drilling through 40 Canons from the HMS Sterling Castle?

. Can you imagine how big it would be if they actually found it? It would be one of the top most significant finds in human history.

lol... I do not think it would even be close to "One of the most significant finds in human history"... Also they are only 70 ft down. So it cannot be the "Alleged" vault. Take a look at these pictures of all the others that have been mining there http://www.oakislandcompendium.ca/u..._island_mystery_toronto_les_m_may_22_2013.pdf see all the steel. Winches, old boilers, metal plates etc. All of this was dumped back into the holes when they miners gave up. Dunstell just bulldozed everything back into his massive hole when he finished also.

The most likely thing they have hit is an old piece of metal equipment like on of those old boilers.

From these earlier released pictures it would appear that whatever they do find is not in the actual pit area https://www.monstersandcritics.com/...land-season-5-see-the-first-amazing-pictures/ . These show them finding and old tunnel near the surface.

What would be funny is if they find treasure that has nothing to do with the pit.

I will be waiting to see something significant found before I believe they find anything of value.

What!...If this is really!...The Find of the Century!

What if?..Can You Be 100%...That This Is Not!..."The Find Of The Century...Or The World!

Perhaps the vault builders knew the secret recipe for Roman concrete ? Or the vault builders *were* Roman ?

Roman concrete used human blood for plasticizer ...... They found a use for those pesky Christians besides lion food ......

The delay on getting a professional opinion about the cross is getting ridiculous. I can sort of see how you could use a find like that to weed out unreliable sources of information before getting the opinion of a true professional... But what has it been now? Three episodes since they found this thing? The woman blabbering on about the Templars praying to some moon goddess is obviously unqualified. No one wants to hear that garbage, we should have gotten the professional opinion the episode after the find at the latest. These guys appeared to be pretty genuine up until some of the later episodes. But now it seems they're getting too caught up in the whole showbiz aspect. Perhaps they were starting to get unsure about whether they would actually find anything after spending tens of millions of dollars and wanted to cover their losses with the TV show, who knows.

I'll go ahead and share this with you guys. I happen to know that the team (among themselves or with someone outside the inner circle, im not sure) had been fighting about something a few months ago. This was last summer or a little after if my memory is correct. From what I was able to gather, there was some dispute between landowners going on and it seemed to involve sharing of something that had actually been recovered. There had been some back stabbing that seemed to have taken place. Knowing how treasure can easily cause such infighting I feel its safe to assume they probably did recover something by the end of the season. I don't know for sure if that's what actually took place. But the team has seemed pretty tight up until now. It just seems strange that there would be a dispute about sharing if they hadn't actually recovered anything yet. My knowledge of that is the only thing that will keep me watching from here on.

Disclaimer: Once again, all I know is that there was a major dispute that took place about sharing. Whether that means there was actually something recovered or not, I do not know.

Rumor has it that Tom, was trench digging the footing for a garage he is building.
The bucket on the backhoe hit a large chest, came up with a full bucket of doubloon's from the late 1500's.


And the other guys are not happy, not two-escudo's happy at all.

Tom is the son of Fred Nolan.

What ever could have been found in a "Chest" is just minuscule to the "Treasure Of Oak Island"!

 

[etex]

Uncle Tom? He never mentioned it to me.

 

[Robot]

Maybe "Tom" Should Have"!

 

[timex]

What ever could have been found in a "Chest" is just minuscule to the "Treasure Of Oak Island"!

Rumor has it, when said and done, total value was around $400 million.

Go figure.

 

[Robot]

This is Just...BS!

Oh...BS!

 

[gazzahk]

If there really is a dispute between landowners about recovered treasure this would suggest the find was made on Fred Nolans sons land. It would also suggest the find was coins as any artifacts belong to the Canadian Government.

As to "Rumors" of the value (400 million) is there a source of this rumor or is this just been made up.....,

I made it up, I meant no harm, just adding to some of the silly stuff about OI.

I apologize, if you couldn't find any humor, in the above scenario.

I had a mental picture of Tom borrowing a backhoe from the brothers for his garage foundation.
Tom trench digging his footing hits treasure.
Rick & Marty's reactions to seeing Tom in a backhoe hitting gold.
Tom jumping around yelling....mine, all mine!

You and the Fellowship can just F/Off!

Again, I made it up.
