The Curse of Oak Island: ANCIENT REMAINS Finally Uncovered (Season 10)

I don’t under­stand why this stu­pid show is still airing…

This series should be an inspi­ra­tion to any­one, since any­thing you can do can be fol­lowed by dumb peo­ple if you sound like you know what’s going on

This show is hot garbage. Let it go already.

Yep… I was right! They’re digging!!!

He’s come a long way that met­al detec­tor gary😂😂😂😂

The curse of Oak Island is that it is on TV. Human IQ is drop­ping, encour­aged by the likes of this travesty.

Nar­ra­tor: “A bar­rel like the kind Atlanteans may have used or could have pre­hu­man aliens left it here when land­ing from Mars.”

After watch­ing this show for a decade or more where is the GD trea­sure. Come on. CAM.

Omg this show! I hate it! They nev­er find any­thing!.. I have been mar­ried for 10 years and my hus­band has been watch­ing every episode!

As Car­men Legge tries to explain, this iron hoop was for a tun bar­rel (of 252 Impe­r­i­al gal­lons). These dimen­sions are not the cur­rent view of a mod­ern straight-sided met­al or plas­tic bar­rel of 50 gal­lons height and diam­e­ter. In 1706, the adop­tion of the Queen Anne wine gal­lon of 231 cubic inch­es, the tun approx­i­mat­ed the vol­ume of a cylin­der with both diam­e­ter and height of 42 inch­es. These were adopt­ed as the stan­dard colo­nial US liq­uid gal­lon and tun. Of course, a cylin­dri­cal straight-sided bar­rel would look like a larg­er mod­ern drum. It is the bar­rel bulging-waist­line size that is 42 inch­es girth, with 42 inch­es height. 252 gal­lons … as a wet bar­rel, would have many uses. The biggest uses of a tun bar­rel on a ship would be: (1) fresh drink­ing and cook­ing water for ship’s crew, (2) fish in brined salt water for crew food (or export prod­uct), (3) fat/lard for cook­ing and swab­bing down ship’s hulls or sails for water­proof­ing, (4) blue clay for pot­tery, (5) haul­ing beer, wine, or whiskey in vol­ume (!), .… Dry bar­rels would be used for whole grains, flour, hard tack bis­cuits, alum pow­der for cloth­ing dye pro­duc­tion, sin­tered or smelt­ed met­als gran­ules or ingots (zinc, lead, tin, iron, cop­per, sil­ver, gold, sul­fur, cal­ci­um plaster/stucco, dried coconut meat, coconut fibers, textiles/fabrics/sails, string/thread/ropes, .…

So this bar­rel arti­fact could be as old as 1706, or the post-1776 col­o­niza­tion of the island with the Loy­al­ists of 1783, 20 years lat­er than the 1762 lot sur­vey map of Oak Island. The first doc­u­ment­ed own­ers of Lot 6 and 7 were men­tioned in 1768, … and the first 2 of 3 north­ern lots (6 7 8) that Samuel Ball would pur­chase from the pri­or own­ers in that 1780s peri­od, or take over an aban­doned lot, claim it, and farm it. Such com­ments that nobody would be farm­ing those lots — yet find­ing ox shoes and oth­er met­al arti­facts there — is not valid. There was farm­ing from the 1780s-1900s. What oth­er ancient farm­ing hap­pened in the (1600s-1755) peri­od is con­jec­tured with the Baronets, or British or French mil­i­tary occu­pa­tion of the island, and the sub­ju­gat­ed peo­ple to the new Nova Sco­tia nation­al own­ers (France, Britain).

All in all — it leads to a mas­sive ques­tion. What ship would be deliv­er­ing such a larg­er bar­rel of prod­uct, or what island prod­ucts men­tioned above would be export­ed via those float­ing wharves and off­shore moored ships with their shore­line anchor (iron ring­bolt) stones ? This was in the area of the SW cor­ner of the har­bor, jet­ty (SW mole) and that of the west­ern rock road­way cir­cum­vent­ing the har­bor over to the east­ern side. That same road­way of the har­bor SW cor­ner must go over to Lot 25 where Samuel Ball had his float­ing wharf, right next to Capt (Pirate) James Ander­son­’s Lot 26, … and what prod­ucts would be import­ed onto the island if these were all sub­sis­tence cab­bage farm­ers ??? !!! Either the sto­ry­line is false, and there was mas­sive indus­try on the island — oth­er­wise — why would there be such 7 wharves, mul­ti­ple anchor stones, the inter-island har­bor with 3 wharves and the ships dry­dock and con­struc­tion area of Lot 32, … and this area on the drone LIDAR map­ping with such a mas­sive build­ing with so many arti­facts being found in this explic­it loca­tion fit­ting the (Car­men Legge) mid-1700s peri­od of use — 30 years before the Loy­al­ists (Vaugh­ns, Ball, McIn­nis, etc) came onto the island in 1783 (!). What unwrit­ten pre-his­to­ry of Oak Island is NOT be told — that should be told.

Export­ing met­als would mean min­ing (check), smelters, kilns, black­smithy (check check check), wood fires, char­coal, tim­ber and lum­ber cut­ting, build­ings, ware­hous­es, store­hous­es, hous­es for work­ers (besides the farm­ers), food pro­duc­tion, … and not hav­ing any huge dis­tillery of grains grow­ing on the island feed­ing the peo­ple and live­stock vs export­ing beer (grains), wine (no grapes !) and whiskey (grains) as an export prod­uct. Fish­ing (check). Blue clay and pot­tery, met­al ware, tin­ware, dish­ware etc (check). All of this is indus­tri­al, some­thing not admit­ted when Loy­al­ists came onto the island in 1783. What pri­or indus­tries of the British or French … and the Baronets of Nova Sco­tia … would be on the island in that (1625ish-1755ish) peri­od that would need such mas­sive pier­age and ship­ping trans­ports. Gringold’s Tem­plar Bank and Indus­tries Ltd of Oak Island ?

These peo­ple are known to have dug many fresh­wa­ter (rock-lined) water wells — so there is no need to a huge cis­tern of water for the island or for the peo­ple and their small live­stock pop­u­la­tion. They weren’t mak­ing their own brew­ery of 250 gal­lons and drink­ing for the peo­ple (or live­stock!). So where does a tun bar­rel come to exist on Oak Island ? Craft man­u­fac­tured of a wood­en bar­rel indus­try on the island and shipped as an emp­ty bar­rel (amongst all oth­er sizes of wood bar­rel) as an island export product ?

Poten­tial­ly, the large size could be used in the pro­duc­tion of mak­ing alum, a cloth­ing dye prod­uct, that burns shale, crush­es up the gyp­sum, anhy­drite dry gyp­sum, greywacke, blue­stone, green­stone, and also uses blue clay, then by leach­ing (and sul­fu­ric acid) lib­er­ates the alu­minum (and iron). The island would then be mak­ing an island prod­uct for cloth mak­ing (there? or export?) and iron that could then make a siz­able island iron­works and prod­ucts for house build­ing, ship build­ing, iron bars, rods, square nails, wood bar­rel iron hoops (!) …

One can also leach out potash for lye water, and with oth­er nitro­ge­neous prod­ucts (urine) make nitric acid and leach out sul­fur prod­ucts (cab­bage, gyp­sum, anhy­drite, pine tar/oil/pitch) for lib­er­at­ed sul­fur … and salt­peter (potas­si­um nitrate). 2 com­po­nents of gun­pow­der — kilns with wood mak­ing char­coal and ground up car­bon is eas­i­ly done. They would­n’t be mak­ing and mix­ing gun­pow­der in a tun bar­rel, but these oth­er leach tanks have log­i­cal sense as an island indus­tri­al activity.

Import­ing a wood tun bar­rel does­nt make much sense, or less-so export­ing such large bar­rels, but hav­ing such island-made indus­tri­al leach tanks inside a very large wharf-area build­ing makes sense (Lot 30 and Lot 32). All Lots 30 31 32 that would even­tu­al­ly be acquired by Samuel Ball !!!

One could even be mak­ing fish paste in tun bar­rels, or Roman garum (fer­ment­ed fish paste !), and the start of a seafood prod­uct industry.

Mar­ty, ” psst guys, the longer we string this along, the more adver­tis­ing $$$ we will take in.’
That’s the REAL TREASURE.
Rick, ‘I have high hopes we’ll find the trea­sure this year’.
I’ll bet you fel­las will. hahahahahahahahaha

The NARRATOR is annoy­ing AF … We all see what’s been dug up, we sure don’t need a crash course on the past 9 seasons.

47 years lat­er…. We found a sin­gle gold coin! It’s look­ing like we are get­ting clos­er to the mon­ey pit

Gary is rarely cor­rect in fact the entire series is rarely cor­rect. Mean­while of Wash­ing­ton State mil­lions in Gold was just found for real.

This show has become more ancient than any treasure

OK, I have Com­cast and if I want to go on their Xfin­i­ty and see the replay of Tues­day night’s episode there is a charge. Good Grief get real!
