Permit??? We don’t need no stinking permit!!!!!
Its buried next to Arch Stanton.
Gold painted briks,……ha ha , you urn it.
It is in Kentucky
Going nuts = BIG GOLD
WHILE THE TEAM WAS WAITING FOR THE CORP. OF ENGINEERS TO GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO DO ANY UNDERWATER EXCAVATION THE CORP. HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO RECOVER ANY ITEMS ON THE BOTTOM. WHY? BECAUSE OF ALL THE PAST HISTORY THAT INVOLVED IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MICHIGAN THAT WERE CORRUPT AND HAD PLENTY TO HIDE; THIEVES,BRIBERS AND POSSIBLE MURDERERS. ABE LINCOLN WAS NOT A FRIEND OF TEMPLARS AND THEIR POWER AND PAID FOR IT WITH HIS LIFE. I THINK A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE REASONS TO MAKE SURE TO LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE.
So what will happen if findings are true what would become of city that he built from stolen gold and did Lincoln no?
Grifters.
Kevin Dykstra was interviewed in 2015. He said then that this was the deathbed confession of a banker with the last name of Abbot. On this TV series it is changed to a deathbed confession of a lighthouse keeper who saw the boxcar pushed overboard. The show makes it sound like the boxcar was pushed overboard for revenge, when it appears boxcars were commonly pushed overboard to lighten the load during bad weather, to keep barges from foundering. I am starting to be suspicious of the narrative. Truth is better than fiction! Changing a story for dramatic affect is very disappointing and is causing this show and the History Channel to lose its credibility!
what is funny..is this tv series just up and quit…why?
I just heard this story from a friend I work with and looked it up and he had no idea of this or any videos about it, I guess story goes some was found on the lakeside and now those people have multiple businesses in the area. I was told, the Michigan militia stold Confederate gold and there’s tracks they used for the boxcars near railroads in the area that go with the story and they got busted in the lake and tried to ditch the gold? And over the years some has said to be found.. just letting ya know what I’ve heard from older guys at work, us being from Michigan
more useless drama from the history channel
So they’ve STILL not got the permits.heres an idea lads,stop making crappy episodes where nothing happens.its almost as if they don’t want to dig.hmm….
brass from the wheel bushings
After they find the gold I have a bridge to sell them in Brooklyn
Wished i was lucky to find some of it.
I know Kevin personally, wonderful guy.😅
Gold paint sprayed bricks
"Could it be… and if so…" over and over
I have no idea if the gold was found
That Brad guy looks like a serial killer with his creepy smile 😁
Probably stolen by the Army ! They had get their permit to raise the bars and they have the man power and equipment. If you find any treasure in the States then don’t tell anyone.
Is it going to be back again on history? Have saw all the episodes
Aye Marty if it’s good ur after give me a million and a ticket to Australia Al take you to gold!The gold coast lol
It’s gone. People Dug it up
I have done some Google research who needs millions of pounds?when you got google?The common box carts are 50ft 6in(15.39m)To 60ft 9inc(18.52m)in length.9ft-4 in (2.84m)to 9ft 6_(12.90m wide 10ft 10(3.3)to 11ft 8in(3.56)(m) A high roof box car 13ft 0,in (3.96m in height these are inside interior dimensions.1930s tend to be 10ft or less high boxcars in 40s 50s tend to be 10.6 what do you think readers is it the lost gold?is t a box cart?
Suppose they find gold. Then they can only look at it. My god, who comes up with those laws.
Please tell me it’s not a brick painted gold.
this idiots never find any gold. maybe they find aliens.
There’s gold in them there History videos !…that’s the real treasure
I sure hope they find the gold…..
How wonderful that would be.
So I wonder whatever happened after that show cuz I’ve never seen it again until just now. Did Michigan give them the okay to dig the site to find anything might be gold. Inquiring minds want to know
Why is it illegal to dig at lake bottom?
The phrase ‘
There may be a tunnel’ had been used endlessly in season 2.
You really lost me there. LOL
Funniest show of the year
Don’t understand why they would dump it so far out with no chance of recovery. Back then no diving equipment. A wreck would make more sense to me.
I’m going back to watch REAL treasure hunters. This is fantasy….
#1. Those dimensions they measured are too big to be a box car.
#2. Even if the gold was there it is U.S. government property.
#3. Even if there was chests of CSA coins, still U.S. government property as all CSA assets where forfeited when General Lee surrendered.
What will happen to the gold when and if it is found?
Do they keep it, do they turn it in, will the government claim ownership of it?
Everyone asks, when is season 3 coming? The answer is quite simple. They are not given a permit to dig on the seabed.
Do you really think the state of Michigan will let a group of treasure hunters do their thing? If there is really something,
qualified archaeologists are deployed. Make no mistake.
I have watched Oak Island since it began.
bring back this show
I must say I agree with most of the comments here. that’s the biggest pile of BS I have ever heard, watched or seen in my life. And this is exactly what will happen! they’ll go back and it’ll all be gone and and they will blame it on the weather! They are already setting it up so that the gold won’t be there it’s all fake! it’s all funny because I’m sure that somebody else has looked for this gold before so I don’t know where they dug this clown Dykstra up from but They need to put him back. Like someone else just said about all these fake shows are staged I’m just barely hanging on to Oak Island because I don’t know if they can make it look any more fake than it already looks
Complete fake, if you find Gold “ take it” it’s stolen gold , unbelievebel the say we have no permit wat a bull shite no one now’ s terrible you don’t urn too find Gold.
New bs you mean. Another total FAIL nonsense show
You need a permit for digging gold that belong to a none existence government? I could understand you need a geologic map just incase you not going to burst some pipe line but to dig???
I’ll will be dancing like a mark
Thank you for the information I’m in Ohio gearing up I have A waterproof metal detector also I’m going to dig it up lol.
Indonesia detecting treasure hunter 🙋🙋🙋
Another painful watch of people trying to find treasure
