'The Curse of Oak Island' crew discovers man-made access points leading to Aladdin's Cave in Money Pit area
NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: On this week's episode of 'The Curse of Oak Island', the crew believes they have discovered a human-made entry and exit into the cavern known as Aladdin's Cave in the Money Pit area.
The Fellowship of the Dig was most likely mentally analyzing the information from the Muon topographical study, which provided them with three subsurface objectives to shoot at.
These anomalies, discovered beneath the surface in the Money Pit area, are considered potential locations for hidden wealth.
The crew will be chasing the anomaly known as Aladdin's Cave on Tuesday, December 12, Season 11, Episode 6. The Muon detectors detected this feature around 160 feet below the earth, southeast of the Garden Shaft.
This area is noteworthy since the men conducted preliminary research there last year and discovered a void about 30 feet long and 12 feet broad. On that occasion, they inserted a camera into a drill shaft and discovered a few characteristics they thought were man-made.
According to a teaser for Tuesday's episode, the crew discovered fresh human-made structures that look to represent an entrance and exit to the cavern.
Is 'The Curse of Oak Island' star Marty Lagina's hidden treasure chamber located in Aladdin's Cave?
Marty Lagina stated last week that they stopped studying the cavern last year because they couldn't find an opening heading inside. However, the Muon data suggests that there is an entry, and if the men can find it in Episode 6, it may be a game changer.
This might be the elusive hidden room Marty has long suspected is just beyond their reach. Hopefully, it's a hidden room with valuable loot.
In Episode 6, the men will drop another camera to examine Aladdin's Cave. It's uncertain what they'll uncover, but surveyor Steve Guptill commented on a peak, "This is way different to anything we’ve seen."
'The Curse of Oak Island' team grows suspicious of Lot 5 findings
In Episode 6, researchers analyzing rectangular and circular stone features on Lot 5 start discovering new objects.
The circular structure originates from the 18th century, about the same time as the Garden Shaft, and the men are curious as to why it appears to have been purposely buried.
'The Curse of Oak Island' team gets candid about the reality of treasure hunting
The drama, now in its eleventh season, centers on the Lagina brothers and their heroic search for the answer to a treasure mystery that dates back 220 years.
To learn what to anticipate from Oak Island's most recent installment, HISTORY TV met with Rick Lagina and other members of The Fellowship of the Dig, such as local historian Doug Crowell, European scholar Corjan Mol, and Rick's nephews, Alex Lagina and Peter Fornetti.
The intriguing aspect of the television show is the cast's unwavering focus on the task at hand. Whether navigating the marsh or exploring the Money Pit, they seamlessly transition without merely hopping between locations.
Rick emphasizes their commitment to completing tasks rather than quick jumps.
As Alex clarifies on the broadcast, the show condenses the timeline from setup to outcomes, omitting the waiting period for significant findings that viewers might not see. This unseen patience in the TV program contrasts with the actual time invested on the island.
New episodes of 'The Curse of Oak Island' Season 11 air on Tuesdays at 9/8 pm Et/Pt on History.
