Given the international chaos the US President has unleashed and targeted Canada business, does the Premier of Nova Scotia still believe sending millions dollars to Rick and Marty is a good thing? Some are saying 🤯

Who is Jack Begley? The adventurer digging into Oak Island’s past Fan of The Curse of Oak Island? Here’s everything you need to know about treasure hunter and Associate Producer, Jack Begley.

It is thought that Anthony Graves hid some treasure in this brick vault since his house was located a short way north on Joudrey's Cove. Graves drove his family crazy, and they tore apart his homestead searching for the treasure he left after he died in 1888. Graves is only now mentioned, and has remained elusive in all of Oak Island lore.

He purchased his plot from John Smith's family in 1857. Anthony Graves regularly purchased goods from the mainland with Spanish coins, something he may have buried in this vault. Coins like these were found in the 1930s. Anthony's granddaughter shrugged off treasure theories, saying that a cargo ship arrived one evening and carried away some barrels

So now that we've moved on from ox shoes to human shoes, will they bring in someone who can confirm the shoe sizes of Anthony Graves and Sir William Phips?

Would anyone happen to know if any member of the Fellowship or any kook appearing in the Situation Room have ever challenged Rick on his “constructs”?

Some would say that the lead cross was the best “find” during 12 years of can slamming on OI. I, on the other hand, would put forward that the best find was the broken Cap Gun that was the presented to Ricky Restall. The emotion of that presentation was epic and unforgettable.

Gee, people seriously, you can gladly have the Anno structure under my lawn. It's "several hundred of years" old and a real nuisance.

It has about as much treasure as oak island (none).

Ricky, can you please take it with you? I'll make do with the ditch and the ludicrously thick walls!

Like most southerners(whether it's Alps or the Mason Dixon line) I don't take well to being told what I can and can't do.

Last year, a bureaucrat charged me taxes for an insane amount that I've never earned. The way you solve the problem here; your accountant picks up the phone and calls a shool friend or something. There you go, fixed it for you.

But I'm not sure who he called. Should I sink some caissons in the backyard?

Just asking for all the viewers

Hell, it's a lot worse than dating tiles at a glance. Apart from cobblestone roads I'm also an expert on dry walls.

Everything they've found is of late construction (meaning late 1600s to mid 1700)

Anyhow, give me a dry wall and I'll give you an age. The Roman exterior walls here are extremely thick (gee, they essentially built a bunker above ground, well depends what you consider above ground). The others are thinner and they differ in construction.

Once you are used to them it's very obvious. (Good luck fixing a dry wall ñ it's very rare that one breaks but it happens with newer ones. The Roman walls don't budge!)

Is there any amount of COOI BS that would cause pause among the remaining ricks or are the ricks so attached to Rick and Marty they will go down with the ship?

Here every single house has similar tiles. (We have some tiles in the backyard but we're running out and the new ones ain't pretty).

There was the episode where they referenced roof tiles and I thought "that's how they've built, and still build, roofs since Roman times!

That's simply the traditional way of building roofs. But if you want to believe that Templars did it, be my guest!

Edit: the cool thing about the old tiles is that no two are identical, color wise. They are disappearing! But who cares about my roof, it's taller than me others (whose tiles make me really edgy)

You can pretty much date a tile just by looking at it. Within a few centuries or so (who cares). As a general rule, old tiles are thick ñ those can date back to Roman times (unlikely). The thinners ones are always modern (renaissance or later).

Gee, I should know. I've taken "apart" structures all over. The above is obvious.

The one they found is definitely late renaissance (yeah, don't tell me, you know that you need something to do when you can date tiles at a glance).

Does anyone believe Matty’s appearance on COOI has benefited the credibility of the “treasure hunt” on OI? Conversely has his appearance turned the “treasure hunt” into a joke?

This is a good one.

There is an island (in the Atlantic) near Venice. According to legend it is haunted like no other place.

Obviously I went there. What a load of BS. It's one of the most beautiful places in the area and there's nothing evil about it unless you consider a decrepit retirement house evil. (I've been in lots of really haunted places, that island isn't one of them).

Venetians invented the "quarantine". There was a place for ships (lazaretto vecchio) and) a place to send anyone deemed infected by the plague (lazaretto nuovo). But you can't film in either one so a certain show (not COi) just thought "there's that empty island far away, let's just pretend it has a horrible history" (it doesn't, exactly one person died of the plague).

This is pretty much exactly what they do on the show. Let's just pretend... And people actually believe it. Well, have been believing for over a decade.

When I need to find my parents I have to walk, literally, hundreds of stair steps and walk 5min. checking every room.

I never noticed it but I don't think that's a problem most people have. It's very much like the elusive treasure.

And you can yell but generally nobody hears you, or you still need to walk a long time to get there.

This whole thing is so funny!

Edit: considering my lifestyle (I'm a huge believer in smoking, eating pasta and drinking), climbing a few hundred steps makes absolutely no difference. And I try to be the laziest person on earth).

Seriously, you have to be really good if you have sunk caissons all over and still haven't found the treasure. Hey, let's invent some additional treasure chests!
