Waste of time and money or treasure waiting to be found?


You really think they've wasted money? I'd suggest they've made quite a bit already.

Who is funding them anyway? One of the brothers has his own company but they’ve been at it for what? 5-8 seasons so far?

Most treasure hunters have an investor and they get paid back as they find artifacts. These guys haven’t found much of anything

I think it's an old forgotten boatyard. I think they had some type of drydock there in the part that they called the swamp.

The curse is that they keep renewing the show after each season.

Marty recently sold a business he started for 50+ million... and still owns a winery

They brothers invest what they make from the show into the dig,not just salary but also as producers... so basically, while being set for life, its essentially free

That one Vagina dude needs to tighten up his Goatee.

Is the metal detector dude a gaylord?

Sorry, I love this show. It's one of my guilty pleasures.

I really don't know what to make of the whole place. I mean I at first think there's no way any of these theories happened. But yet they keep finding the craziest stuff in unexplainable places.

Idk it's fascinating to me so hate all you want idgaf.

I’m with you. I think they get a lot of kooks who have convinced themselves of one kook theory or another. I would think that with the money spent, they could have dug a damn big hole, as deep as they needed, to find out what’s what. But I still enjoy the show.

I watch, not so much for the reveal of any treasure but just some of the artifacts are cool and the history too.

They have to get clearance from the Canadian govt for any excavation or basically anything the do.

I find it fascinating too. Why would all those structures be buried if there wasn’t something there?

Like June bugs to a porch light we watch year after year not really caring what they find we just find the hunt interesting and cringe that with every bit they have to call the whole team over to see. Just jam that stuff in a pocket and keep lookin dang it ya burnin day light

Is this unknown metal object the key to the ark of the covenant left here by the Knights Templar on a secret expedition hundreds of years ago to the new world; or is it a bolt from a faulty chainsaw left by a crew that was digging here in the 1960s? Find out next.

They have made enough off Oak Island TV to start up the Civil War Gold hunting show too. Curse of the Civil War Gold michiganlive.com Some guys come along and talk the brothers into funding their gold hunt starting with a supposed sunken ship in Lake Michigan and the Georgia Confederate Payroll Gold supposedly stolen from Lee.

Grandpa told me that his grandparents hid silver and gold in a cave in a cut bank in the creek on the back of his farm during the civil war, and nobody ever found it.

We spent days upon days looking for it back in the day. Looking back on it, he was just trying to get rid of a bunch of snot nosed kids that were underfoot on his farm.
