I sure hope those guys find it... they certainly wouldnt be allowed, but I wish they could get permission to bring in the biggest excavators with the biggest booms and dippers known and just dig the hell outta the area until they get down to whatever it is.

What confounds me, is how the ancient people, whoever they may have been, engineered these extremely intricate water traps fed by the sea with ancient technology, or even got down that deep in the first place.

Well they did purchase most of the island, so I imagine once they get enough evidence they can just dig it up however they want. But of course for TV purposes they will need to draw out the process.

Cant believe I forgot to check it out last night, did they find anything interesting in the sediment tank?

They didn't do too much with the sediment tank last night. They spent a few minutes sifting through the debree and found some shards of metal and little bones which were most likely small animals. They concluded they needed a better way to sift the material because there was so much. It mainly focused on what I posted about above in the spoiler tag.

Did they come up with any theories about the "tusk" poking out of the shore, besides it maybe being a way to sink boats trying to come in?

They didn't go into that at all. Some divers went underwater and found some large rectangular stones that seemed out of place and were all lined up directly and pointing towards the hole on land. Still no signs of how the water gets into the hole either. It seems like they should just dig up the entire cove though, lol.

Its certainly one helluva mystery, this is tv worth watching.

They had mentioned that other hunters used RED dye down in the hole and it came out into the coves, seems to me, that if you did that again and had some divers in the water, they could easily find where the water is coming in.

I thought it was pretty dumb that they didn't set up a sieve screen inside the tank to separate the largest bits.

Yeah that is the one bad thing about it being a series long event. We will be probably be scratching our heads a few times with them not being more proactive and/or efficient in their methods.

no they actually purchased the controlling interest of the company that owns the land.

its been quite the ordeal by the sounds of it.
