The Curse of Oak Island recap: The one where they probably found the original Money Pit
SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read below if you don’t want to know what happened in the latest episode of The Curse of Oak Island.
Last week’s episode of The Curse of Oak Island was always going to be hard to beat. But Marty Lagina is smiling in the picture above for a reason, and that’s because he thinks the team have finally found the original Money Pit!
If his belief turns out to be true, this week’s episode will go down as one of the biggest moments ever in Oak Island history and could finally lead to the team solving the mystery of what is hidden on the island.
Whether that is treasure, priceless artifacts or a tomb full of bones, we know one thing for sure — this is going to be an exciting rest of the season.
Here’s ten things we learned in Season 5 Episode 6:
1 There is a whole lot of pottery down H-8
After the two pieces of pottery found on last week’s episode, Jack Begley discovered more in the H-8 spoils — including one that has a very distinctive design. This could well help the team get a much more accurate idea of where and when the pottery is from.
As well as the pottery, Jack also found a second piece of bone to add to the first one found on last week’s episode. But this wasn’t just any piece of bone…
2 The bones could offer a huge amount of information
Everybody in the room seemed stunned when Dr Christa Brosseau and Dr Xiang Yang of St Mary’s University revealed that the weird patterned fragment of bone found this episode still had soft tissue and HAIR on it.
The fact you could actually see the hair and the follicles on the screen was pretty creepy. As Craig Tester pointed out, the hairs were quite spaced out which meant it looked quite likely that what they were looking at was human skin. Dr Brosseau said the soft tissue could also be fat.
