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 that the Garden Shaft has been stabilized with the foam and that excavations downward can continue.
They showed progress on the latest bore hole as it goes deeper into the Chappell Vault area. They found a long piece of narrow but heavy pipe that could be a drill bit.
They continued digging at the swamp edge and found a piece of shaped wood below the level of the swamp. They also ran into more wood beams that they are investigating to find out what their purpose was.
They continued to work in the area of the circular rock feature and a small metal piece with potential decorations on it was found.
In the lab they looked at some small metal pieces that had previously been found. They look to be part of a small box or chest. They then looked at the piece that was just found along with others that could be the strap of a chest.
Back at the excavation squares they found a bead that was said to be similar to a Venetian bead found earlier. In this case it turned out to be almost identical.
During sifting they also found another coin. It seems to be a larger coin than those found before. They did see some detail near the edge, and they should be able to image the coin to see what it looks like over the entire surface.
Near the end of the episode they found a barrel stave in the area near the edge of the swamp. No metal is being found but Gary is also keeping an eye out for wood and rocks.
In the preview for next week they showed them finding some large shards of pottery in the swamp area. They showed them discussing the two beads that were found, and also some drilling in the bottom of the Garden Shaft. The preview ended with the team at the core drilling site and the words ‘We found it.’
What did they find?
Some interesting developments this week as they continue to hunt for the slippery treasure.
