'The Curse Of Oak Island' Season 7 Episode 13 Review: A gleam of hope in the form of hard scientific evidence
Hurricane Dorian might have played spoilsport for 'The Curse Of Oak Island' team, but they're back on track with their search for the elusive Money Pit.
In this episode titled 'Bromancing The Stones', the team has several tasks at hand, involving excavating the swamp as they believe that it contains secrets and locating the legendary 90 feet stone at the Dartmouth Heritage Museum.
In the previous episode, we saw Rick Lagina traveling to Louisberg, Nova Scota to see the fortress that was founded in 1713 by the French.
While learning more about Duc D'Anville, who they are certain is connected to the construction of the Money Pit, they observed the tunnels and passageways at the fortress and wondered whether it is similar to the formations at Oak Island.
In this episode, the team excavates the rocky formations around the swamp, as they are certain it is man-made. They're sure of one thing, that they're close to the Money Pit. Sigh, yes, we've heard that all before.
Gary Drayton's discovery of an ancient tunneling tool that made the episode interesting and worth a watch. Meanwhile, Rick Lagina revisited the Rhodendron bush at Dartmouth Heritage Museum, as he was sure that the 90 feet stone was buried there.
You might recall him on his hands and knees around the flower bush. They didn't find the stone, but they found another slab after several hours of digging.
Could that be a clue too? The episode ends with a gleam of hope, as they hit upon scientific evidence regarding the Money Pit, and now they have to figure out exactly how deep it is buried.
The team has various theories about Oak Island, one of them being that pirate ships offloaded treasure. That's the best part about the Oak Island team, that even if they never find what they set out to do, they discover other artifacts and "clues", which just adds to the numerous mysteries of the island.
This has its benefits, as well as the downside. No treasure ever, but this show IS entertaining and intriguing as it provides a lot of history lessons, especially about the French in the 1800s.
'The Curse Of Oak Island' airs on History Channel at 9 pm on Tuesdays.
