I can't wait to see how FDR was digging for Hitler's Flying Saucer in the Money Pit, so he could use it to allow the Japanese to surprise Pearl Harbor so that Jewish Banking could puppet the US into allowing Marxism to dominate Europe and lull us into a false sense of security and allow us to believe that Osama bin Laden actually attacked 9/11, but was secretly at the direction of Obama and his cabal of Muslims that seek to destroy America because we're the true continuation of the Knights Templar thanks to Henry Sinclair, who was in league with the reptilians that were actually guiding humanity ever since the Annunaki guided their enemy, Moses, out of Egypt because the Sumerians were in opposition to the Egyptians, who are actually the descendants of Atlanteans, which are in turn the true masters of the world because they invented the Vimanas in the far past

Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

The 12 foot board equals PIRATE SHIP!!!! was just like the time my 10 year old friends and I came across a burned down portajohn at a nearby park and concocted an elaborate story about how it had probably been struck by lightning because it was under a tree and there'd been thunderstorms earlier in the week instead of "bored teenagers."

This show and other like it are the reason the PVR was invented. This season I just spin past all the speculation crap, mostly because it's just a rehash of the same stuff they said in the other 3 seasons.

But a couple of things I really suspect:

1. the water floods everything because the island is a limestone karsk, meaning full of natural water tunnels and caverns under the entire island. They'll never stop the water.
2. it can't be the 'everything magic treasure'. It can't be inca gold AND loot from Solomon's temple AND Shakespear's manuscripts AND hidden Templar treasure AND...

pick one. Like maybe pirate treasure.

Or maybe that dude who bought the island and got rich found the one and only treasure?

It is really fun to watch for the keystone kops factor.

This season I decided to call it the "Roadrunner & Coyote Show" because it's just like that stupid coyote on the cartoon - buy the gizmo from Acme, try it once, and then abandon it. Never, EVER try anything twice. Sheesh.

At least with the PVR the one-hour recording fits nicely inside a 10 minute (max) window of actual watching. ;-)

I didn't realize Curse Of Oak Island was back! If you look at it as a Brewster's Millions situation where a millionaire tries to find strange new ways to waste his fortune, it is highly entertaining.

I miss the show about the guy looking for giants. I think they were pretty close to finding giants.

I loved that 'search for giants' show too. Again, a PVR 'skip-all-the-repeats' show, but fun. Of course they too only did anything once before giving up.

There's one way, but it has a cost and expertise problem. A battery of high capacity pumps pumping water out faster than it can reflood, combined with an air tight shaft that you pump compressed air down. You could establish enough of a void to examine the "Chamber" without having to deal with suspended sediment and the darkness. It's the same technique they'd use to keep trapped miners alive in a flooded mine, but that tends to be a "money is no object" scenario.

When my fish tank gets a lot of floaty stuff I put a few drops of this one stuff in it and all the floaters sink to the bottom and the water is clear again. They should just use some of that in the money pit.

My husband loves this stupid show. We took the tour for $35 a piece. They walk you around to all of the 'important dig sites' and stuff. It was fine. I just wanted a nice vacation to Nova Scotia. (it's beautiful, by the way)

The shows final episode is going to be "Could it be a murder / suicide on Oak Island?" When Rick and Marty go broke and insane after ten years of digging around the stupid island and one of them kills the other, than himself.

Then someone will start a new show in search of the Hitler Aliens who abducted them and made it look like a murder / suicide.

Hoping they find another face on a rock tonight.

That faces Oak Island.

But has a huge peninsula between it and Oak Island.

But it's totally pointing at Oak Island.

And was carved by the Knights Templar.

At one point last week Rick said something like, "We're getting hits in the bottom of the money pit. It doesn't get any better than this!"

Goddamn I love to hate watch this crap.

I feel like the poor brother is way more insane and blinded by all the hype than the rich one but who knows at this point.

The flimsy evidence of anything is based on on ancient accounts of the logs every 10' or whatever, and the mysterious stone with markings which someone turned into a fireplace and now is gone or something? Given that the money pit is where the only, scant complete BS evidence even is I don't get why they'd search anywhere but in that pit.

I was thinking about the show Storage Wars where the featured people always find some type of antique or valuable stuff. One of the guys said is was all fake and the stuff was planted. Pretty sure the producers of Oak Island are running around throwing a coin or a old piece of metal here, and a piece of wood there just to keep it going.

You could throw a washer in a pile of dirt and they'd come up with some story about how it's actually from Columbus's ship and how he must have chose Oak Island as a burial place for his long lost treasure.

Also, yes, I agree some of the stuff is planted.
