The 11th season of  The Curse of Oak Island now has a premier date. While getting ready for my trip to Bangkok I was reviewing my DVR settings and noticed that while I was gone there was to be a Top Ten episode.  This reminded me of a previous season that started out with several episodes about Top Ten items in the show.

The show last week was about the Top 10 Ancient Structures and this week it will be about the Top 10 Treasure Theories.  In the coming weeks Top Moments and Top Finds will follow these two.

When I watched the episode from last week I noticed that they gave the premier date several times. The 11th season will start on November 7.

So, we have a month of recaps from the last season or seasons to help us get ready for the next season.

We do know that they experienced bad weather multiple times during the season, and it will most likely be a big story line as the season progresses.

Will we see weather as a reason why they can’t find the slippery treasure?

It would be interesting to see how they show the effects of weather throughout the year. There was a huge rainstorm and flooding earlier in the year, which most likely affected work in the swamp.

It would actually interesting to see what would have happened if they were hit harder by the storms. What would be exposed if a huge storm system hits the island? I know how rains effect a normal archaeological dig and they always secure the area during the rainy season. However, as spread out as the sites are on Oak Island and the large areas of beach there is sure to be something uncovered in a large storm.

Once the new season starts airing it will be interesting to see where they have been digging or exploring this year. Did they open up areas that were susceptible to a big storm?

Did they undertake one of the big projects they have proposed in the past? If so, they will probably need to curtail the projects late in the year due to weather. It does look like things may have been wrapped up before the latest weather hit. Did they wrap up early or just take a break for the weather?

In satellite pictures on map sites it looks like there is some activity in additional areas. It will be interesting to see what this activity is. The pier is in the older picture just above this one, but the area to the right seems to be new.

The operations at the site will have already been completed by the time the season starts, so perhaps they will give hints of what is to come later in the season. I saw a video of a drilling rig heading back to the island after Lee passed by, so they must still have been at work last month. Does this mean that they didn’t find anything and were still searching?

What will they find this year? Will they find the slippery treasure and finally wrap up the show?
