'The Curse Of Oak Island' Season 8 Episode 6 Spoilers: Could potbelly stove piece be from 17th century treasure ship?

For the Oak Islanders, it's well known that for a long time now, the team has been ruminating over the possibility of a burnt ship being sunk into the swamp

The upcoming episode of 'The Curse Of Oak Island' promises to be an exciting one. Season 8 has been full of intriguing finds, starting with the Chinese coin, Gary Drayton and Jack Begley discovered on the island. And now, the Fellowship just discovered a part of a 'potbelly stove', that could have been in a ship from the 1700s.

For the Oak Islanders, it's well known that for a long time now, the team has been ruminating over the possibility of a burnt ship being sunk into the swamp. The swamp is a mysterious entity and treasure hunters have been trying to unravel its riddles for over years now. Their seismic scans show some strange anomaly and currently, the belief is: Could a Spanish galleon filled with treasure lie at the bottom of the swamp? The possibilities are endless. 

The answers are hovering above the Laginas and their team and they're doing their best to snatch it. They also are trying to figure out Zena Halpern's map, which shows the presence of several boulders, that could just lead the way to the Money Pit. Last season, their fellow historians had told them that there was a geometric figure in Nicolas Poussin's paintings, which could lead to the buried treasure.

This geometric figure was nothing less than a treasure map. 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 *could* have been taken to North America for safekeeping. The Menorah could have been buried at Oak Island. In Episode 5, the theory gains more fuel as Erin Helton decides to interpret the ancient Zena Halpern's map, which again discusses "strategically" placed boulders, that *might* point to the Money Pit.

The synopsis for the upcoming episode reads, "The discovery of an expanding stone roadway under the muck of the swamp sends the team out to sea to investigate exactly how far it reaches." 

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