Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 6, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 6, 2019 Anybody watch it? I'm a history need and I really enjoy watching and learning. I don't think they'll find Shakespeare's manuscripts, the Holy Grail, or anything like that. What I do find amazing is that for 200 years or so people have been searching that island for something. I also find it amazing the excavation that went on hundreds of years ago with the tunnels. They have found tons of old artifacts which is good enough for me. For those who think the artifacts are planted, and all that go easy on me. LOL Quote

Super User Way2slow Posted January 6, 2019 Super User Posted January 6, 2019 Don't miss an episode. Even have it set to record the series, just in case I do miss one. 1 Quote

The last episode with the Astro Physicist where he over laid the constellation Taurus on the island and the stars matched up very closely with objects there was quite interesting. Quote
Junger Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Been watching it since the pilot season when it was REAL slow to develope and the theories they were pushing was sometimes far fetched. But the stuff they’re doing now with a more scientific approach is excellent TV. Quote

Super User FishTank Posted January 6, 2019 Super User Posted January 6, 2019 I thought the premise was great but it fell way short of what I had hoped for. Quote
Heartland Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 I love watching it when I remember, I don't use the TV that much. Quote

But now they're finding thing, the excavation gets bigger each year too. The narrator is still the same guy who ends 99% of his sentences in the form of a question. After commercial breaks they still recap everything (so there's a ton of filler) but it has gotten. Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 6, 2019 Super User Posted January 6, 2019 There is only one plausible explanation to the Curse of Oak Island. The borings, and the excavations are the work of some advanced civilization. How many times have the searchers been stymied by material too hard for their drills to penetrate? Guys with wooden shovels two hundred years ago certainly could not have excavated what all this equipment cannot breach. Quote

Super User Scott F Posted January 6, 2019 Super User Posted January 6, 2019 If they ever find the treasure, the series would be over. It's like those bigfoot shows. When they are so close to finding bigfoot, they leave to look somewhere else. The story is the search. It's not about finding anything. 2 Quote
