'The Curse Of Oak Island' Season 8 Episode 8: Did the Chinese pay Knight's Templar? Fans laugh at Gary's find

Fans can't stop laughing at the Chinese coin find on Oak Island and some even sniggered that it might have been Chinese take out

What if all theories of 'The Curse Of Oak island' came together and became one BIG theory? Fans are having a field day with the latest episode. 

For the past few episodes, we've been listening to Erin Helton interpret Zena Halpern's ancient map and put forward her theories as well. Erin was sure that the Laginas and the team had been looking in the wrong spot all along, and gave them some new co-ordinates to work on. However, that turned out to be a dud because there was no tunnel there. So the team had to ask her to work on the theory again and do a re-assessment. But our fellows are never disheartened because there's always something to keep them going.

Remember the Chinese coin that Gary Drayton found at the beginning of the season? Well, it turns out it's from 900 AD, or so they say. While that's fascinating, fans, who are annoyed that no treasure has been found in the past 8 years of the show, decided to combine it with the Knight's Templar theory. If you've kept up with the show as much as we have, you'll know that the Laginas are certain that the Knight's Templar is somehow connected with the mysterious island.

In Episode 4, the team found a "perfect line" that starts from Jerusalem, leads through Versailles and ends at Oak Island. They're sure that the Knights Templar dug up Solomon's treasure that consisted of Menorah, that might have been taken to North America for safekeeping. The Menorah could have been buried at Oak Island. Erin seems to have built on this theory too. 

But let's see what fans have got to say.

"The Chinese paid the Knights Templar for the Arc of the Covenant. Obviously. #curseofoakisland," one fan tweeted. "Chinese cash coin! I'm pretty sure Oak Island is the Twilight Zone. #OakIslandCursers #curseofoakisland," another wrote. Some sniggered that it might have been Chinese take out. "Chinese Coin? How did it get to Oak Island? Chinese food Take out?" one fan wrote. 

Well, not much time and so many mysteries to solve. 'The Curse Of Oak Island' airs on History Channel on Tuesdays at 9 pm.
