there it is
that one there has got quite a flat
surface on it
can you set that boulder over by marty
and i yep over in the side there
yeah while excavating the east hill
location between lots 12 and
13. rick and marty laguna and members of
their team
have just unearthed a massive boulder
where oak island theorists corian mull
and chris morford
suggest significant clues might be found
great
one of the things they said we might
find would be a boulder with with a
marking with a marking
if there's anything on it i think it'd
be right here this side
look it looks like a nice big x
you see that that's interesting yeah it
is
but i think that's from tom
we need to go deeper we need to be at
sea level to make sure we're
covering all the ground can you get
three more feet out of that
yeah we can get a little deeper yep
you got some digging to do i'll be right
back i gotta make phone call
you know where this stuff came from but
it's the most
easily dug soil on the entire island
well you think this is all pushed down
by fred i think it has that feel
yeah looks like yeah there's no
striptigraphy yep
after locating what he believed to be a
number of man-made
stone markers in this area more than 40
years ago
the late fred nolan moved several layers
of earth using a bulldozer
in an unsuccessful attempt to uncover
evidence of the oak island treasure
is it possible that fred was close to
making a major discovery
[Music]
if fred pushed this in he would have
changed the whole landscape of
northern part of the island to get this
much bill
certainly believed he was onto something
just once it would be nice though to
make a discovery and
know exactly what it is exactly
no gray area no interpretation this is
what it is yeah
the color's starting to change down
there again to a grayish
black that's what we want to see yeah we
want to see some
something that's not pushed in right
that sounds like a big rock
[Music]
there we go well there's a rock
it's a big rock there another
even larger boulder could have been
placed there
perhaps to cover something of great
importance and value
oh oh oh oh oh oh
is that the right hydraulic yep i was
wondering what i was getting sprayed
with
i think it's the fitting it's coming
round and dripping here
yeah it is through there it's coming
it's right in there i think we're done
yep because a hydraulic hose has
completely ruptured on tom nolan's
backhoe
it can no longer be operated to finish
excavating the site
at least for now unfortunately
the team will have to wait until it is
repaired before they can fully unearth
the massive boulder
to examine it for clues and also see
what if anything lies beneath it
oh god it throws you a curveball isn't
that typical
you know the interesting take on that
was we're at the
point of interest we hit a large stone
the hose breaks
i think it's just bad luck you know a
bad time
but it's weird
[Music]
well it's unfortunate but we'll carry on
right mm-hmm
plus there's a big rush on there now
we're on top always the time always a
time
good job tom no problem let's see about
getting this fixed yeah
okay typical oak island
you
