Clues That Change Everything | The Curse of Oak Island
New Artifacts on Oak Island's Lot 5 Challenge Historical Timeline
Uncover the meaning behind a newly found 18th-century coin, unique pottery, and a heavy copper nail, all pointing toward significant untapped history on Lot 5.
Short Summary
- The team located several artifacts on Lot 5, including a deeply buried cut coin identified as arsenical bronze, potentially dating to the 16th century or earlier.
- Archaeologists identified two new types of 18th-century English ceramics, specifically press-molded pottery and Delftware, predating the Money Pit discovery.
- A heavy, hand-forged copper nail suggests connection to potential early maritime or construction activity, prompting further deep investigation into Lot 5's features.
- This episode focuses on continuing the work of the late Robert Young by systematically exploring previously inaccessible land.
This episode details how team access to Lot 5, previously inaccessible land explored extensively by Robert Young, immediately yielded significant finds. The team used XRF analysis to confirm the composition of a deeply buried coin, revealing it contains arsenic, an indicator of age. These finds consolidate evidence suggesting early human activity on Oak Island preceding the known 1795 discovery, shifting focus heavily onto Lot 5.

Rather than finding one part of a cut coin and then wasting time going back to get it checked out...why don't they stay out there all day and continue to metal detect and then bring all the days finds back to the lab?
When they first started they could have flown a Lidar Plane over the Island which would have shown all the Construction on the island. They use it to expose villages and Cities in places like the Amazon jungles. They would have seen exactly where the road from the Swamp to the Money Pit was.
In asking A I about the dimensions of lot 5 Oak Island, I was shown a black & white aerial view of the Island. Much older than recent times. Where lot 4/5 meet at the road, was a square clearing, to the east of lot towards the Nolans, was a very large clearing, and some imprints in the ground can be cross traced from today's overhead. Another curiosity is that large "Boulder," near the road where they removed Robert Young's sign?

Has anybody considered? That the original discovery of the money pet with the winch tied in the tree and the depression. May have been from the recovery of the treasure around 1750 . The reason I’m saying this is if somebody went to all that trouble to hide it with such sophisticated methods would they really leave a depression and a winch over the shaft? This may explain why only scraps have been found.
If you don't give up you never fail. Keep grinding
the rock hole could be a trash bin. Meant to be buried to hide signs of occupation.
Thank you .
Can't wait till they dug out a Tampliers sword. 😅
I read about Oak Island 🏝️ when I was little (I think in Unexplained magazine, a weekly set collection of about 50+ issues with a different main subject every week) That was about 1978 or so and it’s always been in my mind.. Thank you 🙏🏻 for living out my dreams for me alongside yours.. x 👋🏻🏴🇬🇧✌🏻
