"Curse of Oak Island" Recap: Season six, episode two

Rick, Marty Lagina, and their team have found artifacts on Oak Island, where people have been hunting for treasure for more than 200 years. Episode two of season six of the "Curse of Oak Island,"  revealed more analysis of artifacts discovered on the island. Episode two of season six aired Tuesday, November 20th.

Members of the team got a hand-cut gemstone brooch, possibly from the 16th century,  examined by experts. Members of the Oak Island team discovered the rhodolite garnet brooch in 2017.

Members of the team took another brooch to an expert in Calgary, Alberta Canada. The team is initially disappointed after finding out the center of the brooch is glass but then the expert revealed the brooch maker had used a super ancient way of mounting stones with wire. Block twisting with spiral wire is a sign of ancient jewelry.

The jewelry maker hammered the gold ingot into a rod, then twisted the rod into a wire, where the jewelry maker potentially put the twisted rod between slabs of wood to make it uniform. The expert determined the brooch is older than 1330. Block twisting went out of style in the 14th century.

Craig Tester and Marty and Alex Lagina went to Saint Mary's University to see if the antique brooch found on lot 21 is made of gold. Christa Brosseau and Xiang Yang discovered a bright area on the brooch is gold and another part copper. The gold plated brooch could be more than 700 years old.

The Oak Island team hired a seismic scanning company to survey the money pit. The process uses explosions to create sound waves to measure underground. The results should reveal possible tunnels and underground structures.

Teen Daniel McGinnis and two of his friends discovered the money pit in 1795. Excavations revealed a booby-trapped, flooding pit with wood logs every ten feet. Excavators discovered a mysterious stone slab with strange symbols rumored to translate to 40 feet below 200 pounds of treasure is buried.

I hope the "Curse of Oak Island" team discovers a substantial Templar treasure and make history!
