    The fact he couldn’t go on the land its probably already been found

    Have these guys or anyone checked out the rock in Minnesota that has been carved into, the mark of the free masons. The Native Americans tried to keep it secret for them. I wanna say it’s on reservation land of the Ojibwe Indians. There’

    Save yourself time, they found nothing

    Have these guys or anyone checked out the rock in Minnesota that has been carved into, the mark of the free masons or the knights Templar. The Native Americans tried to keep it secret for them. I wanna say it’s on reservation land of the Ojibwe Indians. There’s history with the American Indians (ojibwe) and

    This is an old rerun sad😢

  6. Scrap iron on June 7, 2023 at 7:05 am

    Old show again

  7. mylennyum on June 7, 2023 at 7:05 am

    As usual, any time I hear Oak Island, it ends up just being click bait , claptrap, blah blah blah, just a waste of our time!!!

  8. The Meat on June 7, 2023 at 7:06 am

    I’m glad he finally took off that ridiculous hat in the library.

  9. D Campas on June 7, 2023 at 7:07 am

    On the clip at 12:48 to 12:50 minutes in, while the gentlemen were walking to aboard the boat, in the background is an image of a person. This person looks to be wearing a long jacket, cowboy hat and something hanging like a strap. Could that strap be part of a rifle? Now the question is, who is that? Real or Spirit?

    I told my boss (that’s from Wisconsin) there must be something at the bottom of lake Michigan, a lake so big with so much history.

    All he told me is that "the only thing you’ll find at the bottom of lake Michigan is the USS Fitzgerald."

    Welp, this legitimizes a lot of speculation.

  11. Klaire Bana on June 7, 2023 at 7:11 am

    Its obvious this is just another take of curse of oak island, these people are never going to find a treasure of Confederate go)d, I f there ever was such a treasure it was found along time ago, its just a show to keep you coming back next week with nothing to really be found

  12. Redwon MacTamhais on June 7, 2023 at 7:12 am

    Led and steel shot was used in rifles and muzzle loading scatter rifles/blunderbusses throughout American and Colonial history. Including in modern shot guns and some self defense pistol ammo. Lead shot was used in commercial shotgun shells until very recently. Is it anecdotal evidence when weighed with other evidence and circumstances, does it become convincing? Yes. Does it Prove ANYTHING? No it proves nothing.

  13. Sheldon Lehigh on June 7, 2023 at 7:13 am

    Have you guys found the treasure already and are you trying to laundery it now I think someone is trying to find a needle somewhere in a haystack on this history channel this is so interesting they already I bet have found it why do these history things comes out if there isn’t a reason behind it all

  14. marion f brown II on June 7, 2023 at 7:15 am

    IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THE COFEDERATE IN JOHSON ARKANSAS

  15. Sheldon Lehigh on June 7, 2023 at 7:16 am

    Man someone was trying to laundery the money out of it why do they say things like pop pop ducking down from gun shocks it sounds like a real life story of something that happened in the past years this is so curious oh somebody was trying to steal all of these items from history and they wer stopped on this is exciting

  16. Joni Angels R Real on June 7, 2023 at 7:16 am

    Did that dude ever find anything on Oak island after 15 years …? Let’s get real..folks

  17. Golden Vulture on June 7, 2023 at 7:17 am

    The short lived Confederate States of America wasn’t the first confederacy in North America

  18. snapfinger1 on June 7, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Now you can redeem your Confederate Bank Notes, right ?

  19. Sheldon Lehigh on June 7, 2023 at 7:20 am

    Where we think hmm curious choice of words it kinda implies what the audience thinks they are literally trying to make you think they didnt find it I didn’t see any stars did anyone else see it I didn’t they should of cleaned it and showed it to everyone if they wer honest which I believe they are not

  20. Ryan on June 7, 2023 at 7:21 am

    What happened to this show? The guy hurt is back jumping off the boat and then people pranked them with fake gold painted bricks. It was a total joke of a show.

    However, it appears this gold they were searching for ended up in PA near Elk County, and when treasure hunters found its possible location, the FBI came in and stole it all from the people who originally found it.

  21. Civil Shepherd on June 7, 2023 at 7:22 am

    36:13, Did Kevin plant that silver coin so he could get funding from Marty? Notice him rubbernecking before he digs it up?

  22. Evan Gunthner on June 7, 2023 at 7:26 am

    That coin was clearly planted by the guy. Which is why he asked to look in the hole himself when they happen to find something. You know what treasure was stolen? Time. Time from all the poor viewers who watched this tediously boring garbage…

  23. earl shaner on June 7, 2023 at 7:28 am

    This is a repeat show on the history channel

  24. D S on June 7, 2023 at 7:28 am

    Marty at it again!!

  25. Sheldon Lehigh on June 7, 2023 at 7:29 am

    I’m sure it is he says now that’s look at that word meaning he’s not sure about it if someone was sure they would say I’m positive it’s from that period meaning without a question in his mind he believes it was from that period but he doubts himself a little why is there doubt if there is something more to this story than what they are actually letting on

  26. Donald Wright on June 7, 2023 at 7:32 am

    They would not have just dumped the gold and silver in the ground. They would have buried it in some type of container. This show is just as fake as Oak Island.

  27. Jason Morse on June 7, 2023 at 7:33 am

    How did they find more stuff in one episode than the last 16 on the others 🤣

  28. Karen Fyhr on June 7, 2023 at 7:34 am

    Why would the Confederates transport their precious gold that far north….? Makes no sense at all…

  29. 🧿Government Agent#762👁️​ on June 7, 2023 at 7:34 am

    I got a bridge to sell this guy

  30. Donald Wright on June 7, 2023 at 7:36 am

    This show is going to be just like Marty’s other show. Years of oh we are so close. We are going to find the money pitt next week.

  31. Shadow Time on June 7, 2023 at 7:36 am

    Wish they wouldn’t have cancelled this show😞

  33. Sheldon Lehigh on June 7, 2023 at 7:39 am

    I believe it’s real they found the money they have interviewed and talked to these people so many times and they know what’s up they just want the story now behind what actually happened people can tell you all the information unless they have something to hide themselves maybe they found the treasure themselves and they are hiding it from these guys searching for it I tell you what I like dictating what happened and unnerve some of these people they are pushing the people that have found the money already selfish people ,maybe they are trying to steal the money from the real person who has the money already

  34. Sanad Bassery on June 7, 2023 at 7:40 am

    It came out a couple of years ago why are they re running it

  35. Jose Manuel A. E. on June 7, 2023 at 7:40 am

    La mera verdad lo que vi en este video no me deja tranquilo es, si tienes los recursos para tener una casa así con un comedor con una mesa así de grande , es el ¿porque tener esas sillas tan inconfortables?.

  36. KennyLeee1 on June 7, 2023 at 7:40 am

    I have 40 years of medal detecting experience good story

  37. marion f brown II on June 7, 2023 at 7:41 am

    I LIVED FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS. I DID LOOK FOR THE GOLD. AT THE TIME I DIDNT HAVE THE RESOURCE TO CONTIUE

  38. Charlie Laudico on June 7, 2023 at 7:43 am

    More fake history by supposedly a history channel ! I’m in the wrong business!

  39. Debra Cornelius on June 7, 2023 at 7:44 am

    Do y’all have any other websites that y’all use other than the history channel????? There are sights popping up with y’all’s videos in different formats

  40. Steve Walters on June 7, 2023 at 7:44 am

    Go get um Gary

  41. Mikey Piros on June 7, 2023 at 7:47 am

    Just another joke from joke island, and such…

  42. BOOSTED70KG on June 7, 2023 at 7:48 am

    I started watching this over a year ago on youtube… why is it starting over?

  43. Fantastic family on June 7, 2023 at 7:50 am

    Interesting

  47. Ashley Lee on June 7, 2023 at 7:56 am

    I remember my college professor telling us this story. He also was curious, knowing what he knew, why besides the embarrassment factor they were all about his clothes down to his undies in detail but not really what he was doing up there

  48. Debra Cornelius on June 7, 2023 at 7:56 am

    There is the knight Templars lair found in Pennsylvania that has some similarities like the rock in the bottom of this cave the entrance was in a triangle shape, and one of the flat stones was specifically angled at 300°. It was like a spring water source and when it was us, Soltice, the sun would enter the area with full sunlight…. i’m not sure what websites are legitimate because there is a NT fashion that’s posting a lot of stuff and another website that’s posting a lot of yawls video all chopped up or appears to be messed up. I just wanted to let y’all know that people are evidently unless it’s somebody in your group has started Facebook pages people are making money off of y’all’s videos

  49. adam hall on June 7, 2023 at 7:59 am

    Click bait

  50. Donald Wright on June 7, 2023 at 8:00 am

    If the that is the curator of the museum and he had all of this knowledge. Why didn’t he already get the gold.?
