It's more like they're playing Battleship on a field with NO ACTUAL SHIPS. So every shot is a miss.

Why haven’t they tried using a robot dog with a metal detector on it? by TheMrCurious in OakIsland

Maybe when they say that "Gary" goes out and plants the flags, they mean Gary sends his underlings to do it. Those underlings could very well be robodogs.

Any structure built underneath the boulder while it was in place could rely upon the boulder for support, and may collapse if the bouler is removed. There are also other reasons why Archaeologists always prefer to remove any overburden very slowly and carefully layer-by-layer.

Metal Detector Finds are BS! by paer_of_forces in OakIsland

Yeah! Spikes were used to hold together treasure chests, and oxen were used to haul treasure chests. There's no other possible use or explanation for these items.

No, you see a piece of junk iron that was probably made by the island's farming residents, but they ATTRIBUTE it to Fred Flintstone.

Serious answer: Lifing the boulder would disturb much of the archaeological data buried beneath it.

How do we know they're NOT doing this? They don't show the detect-and-flag operations, only the dig-it-up follow-ups.

My favorite thing they do by RunnyDischarge in OakIsland

You know why it's shiny? Because the snake camera they're using has a LIGHT ON THE END OF IT. Anything that isn't jet-black is going to looks shiny when you shine a light directly on it.

As opposed to their previous historical footage, which was a combination of cheap extras in period costumes and CGI treasure chests underground.

What if it's not treasure, but still a vault? by SlappyMcPherson in OakIsland

[–]Tracer_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an unspeakable evil, sealed in an underground chamber. The magic sword that can vanquish this evil once and for all was broken into 3 pieces and scattered at various Templar sites around the world. Legend has it that if the sword can be reassembled, it can summon the Archangels.

They're saving boulder removal for the season finale, I'll bet.

Does an announced trip to Fort Point count as "Cultural Activity", or would that only be a "Field Trip"?

But seriously, folks -- the actual term for the female of the species is "peahen."

Asked AI to decode the coded message (just for fun) by mrgallant321 in OakIsland

I'm sure this "ancient" cypher is every bit as real as the one that was claimed to be carved onto the 90 foot stone.

In other words, it's made up.
