I look forward to Tuesday nights when a new episode of The Curse of Oak Island airs.
The show is now in a seventh season, and there have been more than 100 episodes.
They always seem to be on the verge of finding something important and they do a good job of hyping the next episode.
The last two seasons however seem to be showing a lot more interesting finds. New structures are being found and they are slowly zeroing in on the location of the original money pit.
With 220 years of searching for the treasure the landscape of the area has vastly changed since the money pit was first found in 1799. They have been constantly finding old searcher artifacts, but this year it seems that they are finding many pre-searcher structures that may help determine if a treasure was deposited, and by whom.
There is a good book by Randall Sullivan that gives a good history of the different search parties on Oak Island. There are some very interesting theories as to what people have been looking for.
In the episode tonight they found some very interesting things in the recently drained swamp that seems to show human activity on the island prior to 1799. The preview of the next episode shows that something significant may soon be found. But of course this happens at the end of almost every episode.
I also found it interesting the William Shatner visited Oak Island and will appear in an episode set to air on February 25.
What will they find next to keep us hooked on the quest?
