The world is in a state of lockdown and people need all the entertainment that they can get. Fans of the show 'The Curse Of Oak Island' will be eagerly waiting for the show to air tomorrow, as it provides suspense, fun and an inordinate amount of thrills.

'The Curse Of Oak Island' Season 7 Episode 18 promises to be entertaining as Rick and Marty Lagina investigate a spectacular find. Just a while back, they had discovered a tunnel and there was much speculation on whether it could be a flood tunnel.

Rick took some extreme and dangerous measures to examine this. And now, the team will use technology to unearth more answers.

The synopsis for the next episode reads, "New analysis connects man-made activity in the swamp to the construction of the Money Pit just as the team begins their most ambitious and expensive operation yet to locate the elusive treasure shaft."

The team returns to investigate the swamp, which they believe is a goldmine of answers. They had already established with scientific evidence that the swamp was man-made.

They also investigated the Daniel McGinnis foundation as they believe that he and his friends did not stumble upon the oak tree depression by accident, as history claimed.

Legend has it that Daniel McGinnis, in 1795 (the age of the boy has been disputed several times), noticed a depression in the ground and started digging. With the help of some friends, their search revealed a man-made shaft featuring wooden platforms every 10 feet down to 90 feet.

However, due to an expedition in the 1960s that caused clay, seawater and mud to collapse around the "money pit", the shaft's exact location has been obscured from sight.

Just like treasure hunters before them, the Lagina brothers found numerous traps and tunnels dug into the ground at numerous depths that are designed to flood the shaft with water. With McGinnis' excavation, the mystery of oak island began and has continued for over 200 years now. 

Before the Lagina brothers, treasure hunters have found old parchment, bits of china, stones, pieces of wood and coconut fiber, which they believe was used to booby-trap the pit.

Just a while back, Lagina brothers and their team had discovered coconut fiber. Coins, gold links and stones bearing inscriptions have also been unearthed from the pit. 

'The Curse Of Oak Island' airs on History Channel at 9 pm.
