how about we start here yep good place jack begley and metal detection expert gary drayton i like the
look of this jack arrive at isaac's point on the far eastern end of oak island this is an
area where spoils removed from various excavations in the money pit have over the years been used as
landfill they are hoping that after years of soil erosion due to a number of harsh winter storms any
valuable objects or artifacts are now closer to the surface and thus easier to detect and retrieve
anything that's been flushed in and out of the winter storms they're now spread
out around the end of isaac's point it's a great opportunity let's grab the gear and get stuck in
i like it the best way of searching the area is to zigzag along from the tree line down to the
big boulders it could be anything anywhere i got the large coil on i know this can get
small targets anything that seems like it could be older iron or you know a good size
i say we dig because i'd like to recover it all right mate let's go recover a bit of
history gonna go all the way to the end here just in case
well i define there gary that is definitely not iron it's just a just right there yep
i would bet your last dollar but this is not iron let's see if you get it out
what the heck is that that a puta spoon bowl that's what that looks like
it's got that right shape and it would have been elongated spoon bowl like that it would
have gone to towards like a rounded front if it's pooter that's your typical mid 1700s mate
so that could have been a depositor maybe or even uh a searcher in the money pit yeah that
was eating using that spoon yeah if it is a poo a spoon bowl mate that was the poor
man silver of the day nice little find not exactly a super bowl but it is nice all right
let's recheck the i'll see if there's any more parts to it maybe we broke a piece off possibly
go we got more
solid signal as well let's see if i think it's still there oh yeah
i've gone down to it it's right in the side all right i'm i'm gonna
yeah you deserve a bottle of water after this i'm sure what the it's a pickaxe that is really
cool this is what i was hoping for an old tool yeah broken a long time ago no no recent break
look at the shape mate it's broken here this ain't no heavy dewy pickaxe this is a tunneling
pick yes it is look at how short it is a tunneling pick found among spoils from the money pit check
this out it's an old pickaxe a broken pickaxe last year while inspecting spoils from the rf1 caisson
this could have been made that way many many many years ago all the way back to the middle ages
the same caisson that recovered wooden beams believed to date back to the construction of
the original money pit shaft the team found a pick that blacksmith carmen lake suggested
could predate the money pit by over two centuries is it possible this pickaxe head could have been
used for the construction of the money pit well over 200 years ago all those years ago it was lost
at the money pit and then ends up being dumped here and then we retrieve it it's a fantastic
artifact from oak island don't get any better than that mate it's what we're searching for
and that's what we find in maine come out let's keep following this line we're doing good so far
