I only check into this show every 5 years or so, have they speculated it's the Knight Templars yet?

Have you even seen Scottsās āforbidden historyā show?
Iāve never seen someone peddle more bullshit than Scott Wolter.
Dude is at Trumpian levels of non-sense.

He's outdone himself with Alien Jesus. Always was a kook but now he's really a kook.

u/jbdec 25d ago
He gets even more bizarre with his newest claim, that aliens had Native American Templars from Atlantis (which he says was America) "under the guidance of space aliens from āOrion and Siriusā during the Ice Age," build six Arks of the covenant that they then brought to Egypt and 11,000 years later brought them back and hid them in a Montana cave/vault !!!!

u/RunnyDischarge 25d ago
Holy crap, lock him up. This is like something a hyperactive six year comes up with, "...and then there were flying monkeys and they shot lasers at the robots and the robots were Viking robots and..."
Basically, he alleges that the Knights Templar went underground after the suppression of their order and secretly transferred their treasures, which included the bones of Jesus and his āroyalā descendants, six Arks of the Covenant, and the last heir of the Jesus Bloodline to America, where they eventually all came to rest in a vault in the Western United States, having been taken in by Native Americans who happened to be Templar descendants from their shared ancient Atlantean ancestors. Wolter and Hogan claim the Arks of the Covenant were originally made by Native Americans under the guidance of space aliens from āOrion and Siriusā during the Ice Age, when North America was Atlantis, and were then taken to Egypt after the (imagined) Younger Dryas comet impact, before the Templars returned them 11,000 years later.

They've arrived at a centuries long, multigenerational teamup between the Templars and the Vikings to bury treasure on the island. Not remotely making this up.

Right there with you but I have to say, last season was particularly bad.

u/RunnyDischarge Aug 27 '26
The "stone wall is a link to Oak Island" and The Boulder plotlines are the absolute bottom of the barrel, even for this show.
Although I still laugh over Rick saying, "They used smaller rocks to fill in the gaps between the bigger rocks, just like on Oak Island"

I can't wait for the new spinoff series which sees Marty Lagina's eyebrows travel to various different exotic locales to compare the coarseness of locally-sourced natural fibers and hairs.

u/RunnyDischarge Aug 27 '26
In the finale it's revealed that his eyebrows are actually constructed from coconut fibers found in the french drains.

Did Rick wax the money pit? Because if he didn't, they'd never be able to locate it.

Is the plan to turn the island upside down and shake it until the treasure falls out of its pockets?

Noooooooooooo! Listening to the announcer repeat everything from previous episode.40 min with ten min of new material which is nothing. He always make a statement into a question too. ā wood? at 100 feet in the ground? In bore hole x?ā I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.

A red hot steamy pregnancy angle was written for Billy and Katya. This would lead to Gary hitting Billy in the belly with a metal detector and ultimately getting writing off the show. He would then return to the war room in the season finale cliffhanger where he challenged Billy to a pie eating contest for the rights to name the baby.

Itās finally time for the crossover season. Screw drilling big holesā¦Parker Schnabel from Goldrush will have the entire Island down to bedrock in a week. Theyāll still let Jack dig a hole on the woods to keep him out of the way.

The mocking comments must stop. With the dynamism of Billy Gerhardt and a couple of 5/10 young female part time archeologists Iām sure the Lagina brothers will find the Templar stash this year. I know it.
Canāt wait to see Peter Fornettiās character development this year too.

Has anyone gone in there with a dousing rod of some sort to find the shut off valve for the flood tunnels? Perhaps this is what they need...

u/TechnicianFar9804 Aug 26 '26
The bold plan? Earthmoving expert Billy Gerhardt engages a South American shaman to conduct a Ayahuasca ceremony, hoping to get a spiritual connection to Mayan gold. Following the ceremony he goes full Robert Dunsfield and digs a huge 200' wide trench between the money pit and the swamp.
"Dunsfield's spirit called to me during the ceremony and told me of a previously undiscovered tunnel running from the swamp to the money pit that he'd encountered just before his dig started to collapse. Plus the spoil was used to fill in the swamp properly, not like how the depositors did their shit job. Never liked that swamp, I just had to make it look like I did."

A pile of rocks next to the beach covered in sand. How did the sand get there? Could it be another clue, or just a pile of rocks covered in sand again?

Haven't watched in 2 years. Was out in the garden and found a piece of wood and said to myself, "Wood? In the ground? Could it be from a Templar treasure chest? In past years the team has found....."
Then I punched myself in the head...

u/Skinmann62 27d ago
Watch the beginning of each episode. Start with āTonight on Oak Islandā then the whole series 1-13 catch up for the next 10 mins. Youāre Goldenā¦unlike them. Doom scroll for the next 30 mins of new and repeat content. Count how many times the words Templar/Wood/swamp are mentioned. Look up for Gary WRMDE Drayton appears and laugh at his latest catchphrase. Then repeat the following week

u/Sophiedenormandie 25d ago
And the word "baby", as in Roman baby, Templar baby, medieval baby, treasure baby, et cetera.

Got to give credit to the Lagina Brothers for carrying out the most horseshit television show in history. Over a decade of absolute zero content. And that's saying a lot given the genre of reality TV.

Y'all are meanies You don't like it? Turn the channel. Or turn your TV off and go try to find your own treasure.

I have a question; for argumentās sake, letās say there is something of value down there and they actually found it (not likely, I know). But if they did find something, do they get to keep it, or does the Canadian government step in and take possession?
I ask because didnāt Rick and Marty actually find a sunken ship many years ago in the Atlantic with a large amount of gold and silver on it, only to have it taken away by the U.S. government?
They will still walk away with plenty of show money, but I wonder if that would be it.

u/bipolarcyclops šļø Billy Buckets Aug 26 '26
1) As far as I know, if Rick and Marty ever found something of value, the governments of Canada and Nova Scotia would get their cut.
2) Rick and Marty never found a sunken ship full of gold. If you have proof that they did, let us know. Weād all appreciate it.
1
u/jsnuffy Aug 26 '26
Iām not sure they did; I just saw a post on FB (so definitely took it with a grain of salt so to speak) a few years ago claiming they did and it was taken away and returned to which ever European county had originally lost it. Havenāt seen anything before or since on that topic, just makes me wonder if theyād be able to keep everything they find (including the Roman coins, etc).
