I"m thinking they will find something, with the series being so short unlike Goldrush. That being said, I would think there would be something in the news.

I'm thinking it's short b/c it's a show going mostly uninteresting process. I think they find something interesting this final episode, but doubt anything more. Guessing they choose to end the season here b/c all the footage they shoot between what well see and winter was fruitless.

Hope something big happens next year.

I don't know that it would have to be in the news. It's a privately owned Island and a privately funded expedition. Plus, they may have something in their contract with History Channel, saying they won't say what they found, until it's been on the show.

Word would get out to the citizens on the island, and out to the world.

There is like 10 or 20 people and half of them are directly involved. The rest could simply be unaware because the guys won't say anything to those not involved.

To big of news. I don't buy it.

I don't think anyone lives on the Island..

The island isn't completely private. There are residents. Also, the mainland is basically the same community.

According to Wikipedia, it is completely privately owned and no one lives on the island..

What little they preview of this weeks show makes it pretty clear they find something good... its starting to look like that Norwegian guys theory wasnt so kooky after all, the stones were right where he said they'd be and that spot in the swamp is not only pinging hard for gold and silver, but it appeared they were standing directly on top of some flat, solid structure.

According to the show itself, the brothers bought a majority share of the company that owns most of oak island.

Also, the Nolan guy LIVES on oak island, was it Mike Nolan? I'd imagine the guys who dug 10x live on the island also. Is the oak island museum privately owned, our owned by their company?

im pretty sure the old guy lives on the island

I will admit this episode was very interesting. I had never heard of the Norwegian guys theory. And even if it is just another rock in the swamp, that is still pretty intriguing from a historical perspective. Though I do wonder why they didn't bother going to find the other stones in the diagram since they would have been easier to locate than the swamp stone (especially using GPS instead of strides). I realize the "mercy" stone is the important one, but I would have had to go find all of them.

edit: The swamp area almost looks like a man made structure attaching two smaller islands together making one large island.

Even stranger, was that the mercy stone was found to be inscribed after they dug it up and turned it over, IIRC it was the letter G... that letter is loaded with symbolism in some circles.

Don't believe they dug up the mercy stone yet. There were markings on the bottom of one they dug up, but they thought it was a triangle I believe. The G was found somewhere on the island years ago. Possibly by Nolan when he discovered the rest of the stores on his land.
