before another day comes to an end on
Oak Island brothers Rick and Marty
lagina and their partner Craig tester
gather in the war room with other
members of their team for a
much-anticipated meeting guys this is
the part of the war room meetings I
really like we've got some information
some results coming in on
dendrochronology it's specific it's to
the wood we took out of Smith's Cove I
believe we sent samples of the u-shaped
structure the l-shaped structure some of
the walls that were more dimensional
lumber so professor Colin lorac with the
University of Saskatchewan has analyzed
everything and Jack he's standing by can
you get him up on the screen sure Colin
how are you sir good are you guys good
thank you we're looking forward to the
results that's quite a significant wall
this is totally undiscovered over the
past three months the Oak Island team
has unearthed numerous mysterious wooden
structures buried as much as 10 feet
beneath the seabed at Smith's Cove in
addition to finding the U and L shaped
structures first discovered by dan
Blankenship in the 1970s the team
uncovered the remains of a massive
slipway or shipping ramp with each new
discovery the Oak Island team extracted
wood samples for scientific testing in
the hopes of obtaining reliable dates as
to when they were constructed these
samples were then sent to dr. Colin
LaRoque a professor of dendrochronology
and climate science at the University of
Saskatchewan why don't you go through a
sample by sample and give me the date
okay
sample seven that was one of our more
confident samples sample number seven is
the slipway it's the North Arm on the
east end so the slipway it was we
believe red spruce it's reminiscent to
some of the samples we did in other
areas of Halifax we had a fairly strong
date on and that's 1771
Wow predates the money pit yep that's
really cool
yeah the two that are coming up next are
actually some of the biggest samples
sample 8 and sample 9 we call them
sample number eight is the u-shaped
structure and sample number nine is
another piece of the u-shaped structure
so for both samples we had 1769 Wow this
is quite impressive I mean that's huge
yeah we could pretty much be sure that
all that work in Smith's Cove occurred
in about 1770 that's pretty amazing yeah
well if we can find more of that wood
from the money pit that dates to that
same era then we'll have a bull's-eye
yes and it ties in yeah okay con how
accurate of listening you have that you
can compare it to right the one red
spruce chronology that we were using
which is about a five hundred and fifty
year old tree that is still growing and
it matches with that so something like
sample eight we're at probably 99.999
sure that it sort of ends in that 1770
time wow this is big yeah in these kind
of things they tend to answer one
question and raise two or three others
water shark that is great work I love
the 99.99 we don't we don't get that
ever so thanks for being in on the quest
you're welcome
all right Colin thank you very much we
will be in touch really appreciate it
excellent report thank you thank you
you're welcome take care guys I believe
that we have just found a conclusive
proof that not everything we're finding
is surgery okay yeah for me this is the
biggest thing that's happened since we
started this quest it's amazing I was
about to say direct turn to him and say
look it's time to turn this island over
from the archeologist to the
psychiatrist because
that's because this isn't making any
sense than then at the eleventh hour we
find out something very significant
happened here 25 to 30 years prior to
the discovery of the money pit and it's
in Smith's Cove
to me that's gigantic well I have to say
I'm impressed with this I'm happy that
you're interested I am impressed
let's go okay
you
