    Tour was very well done and organized. They went in depth about the history of the island and did not sell you on the show. Our tour did go past the 2 hour window, but we didn’t mind. Seeing the island was worth it, and if you can get tickets, you should.

    We had a private tour of the island. Charles Barkhouse is super knowledgeable and was very helpful in explaining everything. What a great experience of Canadian history!

    Been watching since day one. While I feel certain there is something extraordinary that is yet to be found, it is aggravating the way the show is presented. It’s soap opera style is an insult to the average viewer. It might not be so bad if they didn’t retell the whole story every episode. Maybe five minutes of new information for each hour of programming...really? Is that all the team learns in a weeks time? If something were found, it would be ten years after the movie and books came out that the program would get around to showing it. Also, it is curious that none of the finds are shown without multiple edits. Why not show one trinket that is unearthed and identified without any editing to prove that these finds aren’t planted? One last thing, according to google maps, they put up the coffer dam in Sheerdam Cove, not Smith’s Cove. Smith’s Cove is where the swamp is located. Just saying.....

    Great show, really enjoy the research that highlights the deep history of Nova Scotia! The efforts of all the people past and present. Thanks again,for all those involved. Stay safe! Update,as I watched the television show ,searchers opening up old flood tunnels, I get nervous seeing them digging without safety harnesses. Yes ,old tunnels can collapse remember the curse. Be careful! Stay safe. Thanks again great research and show.

    This is the spot where amateur archaeologists as far back as the 18th century have been uncovering weird anomalous artifacts associated with the European sect known as the Knights Templars, which are most associated now today with the Freemasons. Upon exile from the mainland of Europe, involving primarily France, Germany, Great Britain, Belgium and Austria, following the Friday the 13th Massacre in the year 1307. The Knights Templars went into hiding for fear of execution by the ruler of France, King Philip IV, who had conspired the idea that instead of paying back the Knights Templars the money he borrowed for his kingdom he, alongside other powerful rulers in the area who also owed money to the Knights Templars for rebuilding the entire area that was once ravaged and destroyed by the medieval 1000 year War known as the Crusades. Inside King Philip IV devious plan he concocted and set his plan out to be that rather then pay back the enormous amounts of money he had borrowed that preferably it seemed a more suitable plan of action to launch an assault upon their whole fraternal order, as well as expel them from existence due to what he had ruled black as "Blasphemous Acts" upon his GOD, His regime, and entire humanity as a whole. No one knows for sure how long the Knights Templars went Underground and remained dormant. Some speculate that the remaining Templars who had escaped fled to Portugal and set up their new base of operations for the next two and a half centuries. This is where the story of The fabled Legend of Oak Island comes to play into things. The story says that a group of Knights Templars, who again are most associated with being known today as the Freemasons, sailed to the eastern coast of North America and landed roughly in Nova Scotia upon Oak Island and apparently went through one hell of an effort to bury some kind of treasure! There has been many speculations as to what is buried there, if anything however their has been a lot more evidence that points to the fact there is obviously something of vast importance that was taken there for fear of being discovered or destroyed. The main common belief is that the mysterious "Ark of the Covenant" is there. Majority of people don't know the history behind what it is that they're searching for on the TV show so there's a little background as to why the TV show has garnered so much attention. Although let's be honest the world will never know what they truly do find. In the nature of archaeology I love the whole experience of uncovering the past, however there needs to be a better understanding of where we are headed for the future rather than proven where we have already been!!!

    Very well done and documented. Sensitive material also handled admirably. They seem to always give credit where credit is due. And I look forward to after they find the gold,go on to their next project and allow the 1st Nation to catch up on their history!

    I love the show although I’m surprised they have made a wash bed and have a pump from the ocean to wash the mud of as it come out instead of relying on the metal detector . They have probably been missing s lot of items
