The Curse of Oak Island season 11 continues with the finding of more interesting items.

The causeway to the island continues to be busy with all the workers and the experts that look at the finds.

Tonight they found a big boulder in the swamp. Around the boulder they found a large number of wood pieces and also a row of stones or rocks.

They also showed progress in the Garden Shaft as they continue to extended it almost to the depth they are looking to reach. They received a report on the piece of wood they retrieved from the possible tunnel below the Garden Shaft. The wood dates from possible the early 1600’s which would be well before the discover of the Money Pit.

In the area around the stone circle they found some hardened earth and sent it to the lab for analysis. The soil sample was analyzed and was a close match to soil from deep in the Money Pit Area. The close samples were from the Garden Shaft and surrounding areas.

The soil samples did not match any other samples from the island. It is interesting that they found similar soil was in both Lot 5 and the Garden Shaft.

They also reached the bottom of another bore hole and found what may be remains from the missing plug from a previous season.

They discussed the importance of the soil match at the end of the episode. Does this make a connection between Lot 5 and the possibility of it being a work camp?

It is also interesting to have another episode with only a brief mention of the Templars and instead more possible connections to Phipps.

In the preview for next week they showed them continuing to investigate the big boulder in the swamp, and talk about Nolan’s Cross. They also showed some digging in the bottom of the Garden Shaft with a possible find.

What did they find?

I will not see the next three episodes until I return from a trip to Africa. It will be interesting to see where they are in the search when I get back.

Some interesting developments this week as they continue to hunt for the slippery treasure.
