Did they happen to find any of that Confederate gold in the Great Lakes ?
Yes they did....they moved it to Oak Island...Stay tuned!
Possibly more spent then is in Fort Knox looking for it....Treasure on Oak Island must contain more gold than Fort Knox?
Hey franklin...hate to miss you on this forum!I have decided I will never watch anything that has the Lagina brothers in it. Be it the CSA Gold in Michigan or the Curse of Oak Island or the Aliens of Michigan. They are never going to find any treasure other than the networks money from desperate viewers like you and the rest.
Adding to this, he said that the cross is quite ‘extraordinary,’ and they are still conducting their test. All the pieces of evidence indicate that the cross is from the 1300 A.D. Basically according to many experts, the cross could be either from 900 A.D. or 1300 A.D., and he thinks that the Templars might have left it in that neighborhood if it had been there. So, he thinks that for some business the Templars did visit North America even before Columbus came and if it’s true, he wonders about the Templar’s belongings.
This is what I would really like them to do. STOP pretending that they are still looking for treasure and get some actual historians in to explore the true history of the island. I hope they invite J.Steele to share her theory...The Curse of Oak Island Season 6,’ will dive into the history....
Well said... "Even if" they could prove the age of the cross it does not show anything other then an old cross was dropped in Smiths cove sometime before Rick found it...In the interview, he goes on to say that at least part of that evidence is that they've never seen a cross similar to that one that was more recent than 1300 AD. I'd argue that the right person on Etsy could get you a cross basically identical to that one for less than $50, meaning that (if I'm understanding him correctly) this isn't evidence at all.
However, I have a problem with the statement that I quoted - namely, the tortured logic required to arrive there. Most of us metal detectorists understand that when we find a coin from 1900, that doesn't mean that the coin had been dropped there in 1900. It may have been dropped there an hour before we found it. The context in which it was found may tell us more, but all that date does is establish the earliest possible time that it wound up there, not the most recent. (Assuming that it's not a fake, of course. Then even the date on the coin would be suspect.)
This line of though essentially reads as, and apologies in advance if I'm misunderstanding what Mr. Burns meant: "We found a cross that we think is 700 years old in Nova Scotia, and the Templars were around 700 years ago, and some people say that the Templars went to Nova Scotia, so the Templars must have placed this cross here." Which, of course, is nonsense, as I could have placed that cross there five years ago. When one stops and peels apart each individual assumption - that the cross is as old as they think that it is, that Templars went to Nova Scotia, etc - the story makes even less sense...

As far as I can see the only real mysteries left are 1. What was built at Smith Cove and why? and 2. Was the swamp man made and why?
I know they are building a massive coffer dam at Smith cove so I hope they can at least provide an answer to this question..
However if they are simply going to "taint" there investigation with the assumption that they are still looking for treasure and everything they find on OI more then 200 years old is treasure related then I think we will be in for a pretty poor season of Telly...
