'The Curse Of Oak Island' Season 7 Episode 19 Review: Did the team just find a piece of the fabled treasure?
You can always count on 'The Curse Of Oak Island' to lift your spirits during the gloom of lockdown as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hang like a sword of Damocles over the world. Episode 19 rightly titled 'Lord Of The Ring' was an exciting one, as the Oak Island team made some thrilling finds.
For starters, they found a ring with an intricate design in the swamp. The team suspects that the ring could just be from the 1730s, and *could* be a Spanish ornate ring. But there isn't enough to gloat over this discovery, as they're racing against time to complete their drilling excavations, before the grueling winter sets in.
The team returns with new and better technology and with more hope. As Rick Lagina points out, that the early travellers wanted to just find the treasure on the mysterious island. Those who came after that were not so singularly so stuck on it but were determined to understand the history of Oak Island. They might not have discovered treasure, but they had found a lead cross, fragments of human bone, and other iron pikes that could be from a ship, that they believed to be at the bottom of the swamp.
In this episode, apart from the hint of a human bone, they discover a part of a keg. The team deduces that Spanish treasure could have been kept in kegs. Now that sounds rather wild, but the team is sure that they have the proof to back it up. There are other perplexing reveals, including a piece of wood. Now why would someone leave a piece of wood there?
However, their new site excavation does not provide more exciting discoveries, as they thought it would. The Lagina brothers have to rethink their strategy now and try to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Frustrating as it is, the team never loses hope. After extensive research of Dave Blankenship's documents, they decide to excavate a new site on the island. Could this bear more fruit?
They've spent blood, sweat and tears on Oak Island, it's about time something paid off. We have our fingers crossed. The closer they get to the money pit, the closer they're to putting themselves in the path of the curse.
