Perzactly. Though I've long been intrigued by Oak Island, I stopped watching the series years ago because it was a whole (hole?) lotta nuthin', week after week. The teaser for the following week's installment repeatedly promised some bombshell revelation, but it invariably turned out to be the same tedious bag of air. Surprised the series is still on.

I have watched every episode since its started. The show could really be 15-20 min or less per episode. Too many flash backs to prior episodes eat up or better yet fill the time slot. To me its still intriguing that those objects and such could have been built with the technology given in that time period. On the flip side, if a massive "find" was found, it would have already been out on social media.

You do get about exactly 15 minutes of new material out of every hour episode. Between commercials and recaps, I seriously think they could fit the entire season's notable findings in about 45 minutes worth of video.


Something clever here.

Somebody went to a lot of trouble and expense to dig all those tunnels and line them with oak timbers. They put something valuable in there.

But this show is too long and drawn out. I have watched 5 or 10 minutes of it, several times. Enough already! Either find the treasure, or shut up and go away.

Never watched much of it and now it's too boring to continue. I always refer to that show as "Joke Island".

I watch every episode. My connection is the brothers are from my little home town, and they are friends of friends.
What they have proven is that there was a lot of stuff going on , on that island long before the "money pit"
I love history, and that's basically what the show is about.
I think the network has such a lock on the show and cast that our local newspaper and TV station has never done any reporting or interviewing the brothers, even though it's such a highly rated show.
We don't even have rumors going around town. Strange.

I'd love to know what's going on with the whole network of underground labyrinths (been waiting my whole life to use that word in a sentence, check that off the bucket list) but can't stand the do-nothing drama.

Yeah, I've got this treasure...so I think I'll bury it 300 feet down on a tiny island.

Sounds plausible.

I told my Uncle I was picking up a signal on a reciever from way farther away than I should have been able to. He says "Tropospheric Ducting is what causes it". I looked at him and said "How many god damn years have you been holding that word in your pocket to use"

See’s all one has to do is dig about 3 crazy tunnels and line them with heavy timber, and other piece parts as a trap...
They start a rumor and let people dig more crazy tunnels trying to figure out where the money you stashed is...

My bet is someone found it long ago and didn’t want to share it and said nothing.

A couple guys at work rave about that program. They are both morally bankrupt and professionally corrupt.

If those two like it, that's all I need to know.
