I like the show, kinda. I don't watch much tv so I guess if I am watching this I have to say I like it. I read something about that place when I was a teenager and thought it was cool. This show must have a staff employed just to write for the narrator in order to drag this along, then another in charge of the constant replays. Pretty much every "scene" means the narrator has to mention everyone that might possibly be on camera by first and last name, never ends. Then he must be told to repeat every last thing said as a beginning to his spiel. Sorta like someone on the show says "Is that pieces of wood coming out?" Narrator: "Pieces of wood? In the money pit? could those be the same pieces of wood First and last name, first and last name, first and last name, and first and last name were talking about when they mentioned pieces of wood when they found pieces of wood while search for the Oak Island Treasure more than one hundred years ago? And if so could that meant those pieces of wood belonged to a vault that was made of pieces of wood that first and last name and first and last name claimed that they drilled into more than 100 years ago?" It's ridiculous. Anyway it looks like there is plenty of proof(if not a made for tv sort of "proof" that people were doing something 150ft+ underground that long ago. That's pretty amazing.
That book came out in 1998, but there has been "treasure hunting" going on on Oak Island for 220 years. From what I have seen, if anything the book is loosely based on the legend not the other way around.
This season’s premier actually wasn’t too bad. Looks like they spent a lot more money not finding anything but TV ratings.
