NARRATOR: As a new day dawns on Oak Island,
Jack Begley, Doug Crowell, and Paul Troutman
are continuing to carefully sift through the spoils recently
excavated from borehole S6, the site
where the team has found evidence
that may have come from the money pit treasure shaft.
JACK BEGLEY: Look at this.
It's a piece of a chain.
DOUG CROWELL: Oh.
PAUL TROUTMAN: Oh, wow.
Look at that.
This could be a part of the collapse from the treasure.
Well, you know, Jack, one of the theories--
chain was used to chain a slave down there,
or somebody that was a part of a huge workforce
to build the money pit.
Yep.
NARRATOR: According to legend, after a vast treasure was
buried in the Oak Island money pit,
some of the slaves who dug the shaft were chained to a post
and buried alive deep underground.
This was done so that the victims' vengeful spirits would
forever guard the treasure vault and curse anyone who dared
try to remove the contents.
Could this piece of chain, along with the fragments
of human bone found last year, be
disturbing evidence that this legend has a basis in truth?
Hey, Gary.
How's it going, guys?
All right, we need your professional opinion.
MAN: What do you think about that?
Chain link.
Yeah.
MAN: The link of a chain.
How old would you say it is, though?
Yeah, it's quite meaty.
It's an older one by the look of it,
because you go on the shape with old chains.
The older links of chain are always oval, not round.
And that looks like it's oval.
Obviously, it's been through some stress.
It really looks old.
Yeah, it does look old.
It really does.
And what I like about it is the weight.
It would be hand-forged.
Where it came out, it was probably
used on a pulley system.
So you think it could have been original for depositing
the treasure?
Or something that was left behind by searchers?
[interposing voices]
We were looking for a debris field in the tunnel.
And that is, in my mind, is a possible piece
of debris from the original treasure vault, right?
But yeah, it's-- definitely, we should have this tested.
There's got to be more goodies stashed away in here somewhere.
GARY: I think that's bone.
NARRATOR: Bone?
If it can be determined to be human,
could it be matched to one of the two individuals
whose remains were found last year?
Or might it belong to someone else?
Well, you see the capillary pulls on the side.
Yeah, you can just see the way that's cut.
That's bone, mate.
Good eye.
Cool.
Well, the fact that we found it from the shaft six spoils
means there's possibly other debris that
drift away from H8 all the way further
north, like we were expecting.
If the money pit is H8 chain or around there, then possibly,
there's more than just treasure that was deposited there.
There might be remains.
GARY: Well done, Doug.
That was good eye.
That changes everything.
I knew there'd be something good in there.
Well?
MAN: Hey, Rick.
How's it going?
Good news.
Look what Doug just found.
RICK LAGINA: That is a bone.
There's no question about that.
Yeah.
Well, that's pretty exciting, finding a piece of bone
on the wash table again.
S6, though.
Why S6 and not H8?
The debris field into the tunnel.
If it all originates in the money pit,
it could explain chapel shaft H8 and into our tunnel.
You could.
But what are all these bones doing in the money pit area?
RICK LAGINA: Hey, look.
Anything's possible.
One step at a time--
get it tested.
Only if it's human bone, then we take
it from there, step by step.
That's a good find.
But let's keep going.
I mean, it's crazy, because we're cold, wet,
and down, and then something like this lifts the spirits.
That's why we're doing it.
Well, great.
You know?
That's good news.
Bag it.
Mark it.
And we'll send it off.
RICK LAGINA (VOICEOVER): I think there's
a lot to be learned yet.
We'll certainly have some DNA analysis done.
Are they human?
Are they not?
But look, if they are human and they're at these depths,
there's a story here.
And we need to unravel it.
Look, I want to just thank you guys for being out here.
We're all wet.
We're all cold.
But I think we can't quit now, right?
These last two tables have been significant.
So look, maybe the next one will be the one thing.
OK, well, then let's get after it.
