'The Curse Of Oak Island' Season 8 Episode 11 Spoilers: Did Gary Drayton find gold? Treasure hunt continues
Roadways, artifacts, ox feet — what on earth happened on Oak Island centuries ago? It's the mystery that has been plaguing historians, scholars, and now, the Lagina brothers and team. They're still not close to figuring out the riddles the island keeps churning out, but their optimism never lets them give up.
In the upcoming episode of the History Channel show, the team will continue making excavations in the swamp and investigate the possible stone structure. It is suspected to be a roadway and there is much speculation that it could be connected to the sea. Going by the synopsis, Gary Drayton might have just 'struck gold'.
The synopsis reads, "Digging deeper than ever before, the Laginas and their team find evidence of previously unknown structures in the Money Pit. While in the swamp, Gary strikes gold."
Well, it remains to be seen whether what Gary found is actually a 'top pocket find'. In the premiere of Season 8, the team did find something suspicious-looking — gold in the murky depths of the island. They sent a diver down there to investigate, and the diver let the shiny coin-like structure slip through his fingers.
So, the coin plunged even further, and we still don't know what it was. Yet, it hasn't been a waste of a season for the Fellowship as they've been busy looking and scouring the island. They've found ox feet and more nails. They're sure that they've discovered an ox foot trail, which is proof that the oxen used to unload something into the Money Pit — a potential treasure.
Meanwhile, we were also introduced to Erin Helton's unusual theories of how the team might have been digging in the wrong Money Pit area. For the past few episodes, she has been stumping the team with her interpretation of Zena Halpern's map. She was sure that the 'strategically placed' boulders could be pointing somewhere, and lately, she was sure that the treasure vault has been under their noses all along. However, her co-ordinates turned out wrong, and no tunnel was found.
'The Curse Of Oak Island' airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on History.
