The Curse of Oak Island

[mr. tegu]

The most recent episode sees the cross finally being answered as to its origins. So it’s from the pre 1500s in the south of France. That’s pretty crazy.

Been watching random recent episodes, and the sheer volume of random artifacts from various periods is genuinely intriguing... oddly shaped lead crosses that directly tie back to the Templars, mixed with Roman pilum spear tips from an even earlier era, not to mention all of the other genuine treasures?

Yeah, somethings absolutely up there... its NOT a total hoax, IMO

America was sure as hell known looong before Columbus

But the Ark being buried in corrosive sea water? nah... the Ark has been spirited away to its home

I'm more interested in the idea of Europeans traveling to North America earlier than recorded history suggests. I think they're possibly finding evidence of that. Whether there's treasure there I really don't know. But people were definitely on that island long ago.

I'm just not sure any of their significant finds originated on Oak Island. It's just as likely that the cross or the gem stones were items lost at sea or even discarded, but washed up on Oak Island.

Or planted by a producer. "Let's use the metal detector on this random patch of dirt here. DING DING DING. Oh look another bobby dazzler!" That's the only thing they can do to keep people interested while they dig for the real treasure. Now last night they had yet another disappointment when the "large void" turned out to be.....sand.

This. I'm just far too jaded to buy into this bullshit.

Seems like the whole show is basically episodes that promise great things, building up to finding some tiny little trinket that wouldn't haven't have meant shit to anybody when it was made, then rinse and repeat.

I feel the same way. The only reason I watch it is because I've been fascinated with the Oak Island mystery for a long time. And I don't really watch much else on tv these days.

There's no way this is real. It's just another fake reality show.
