Find out what the team found on "The Curse of Oak Island" and "Digging Deeper"
"The Curse of Oak Island: Digging Deeper" and "The Curse of Oak Island" TV shows are about Oak Island, a place treasure hunters have been searching for more than 200 years. Oak Island is on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. Now, Rick and Marty Lagina and their team are unearthing new artifacts and information in the hunt.
The highlight of the "The Curse of Oak Island: Digging Deeper" December 4th is Gary Drayton, Jack Bagley, and Mike West metal detecting on the island because they found what they originally thought was a crossbow bolt (an arrow for a crossbow.)
West was searching with an EM61 metal detector allowing him to see 21 feet underground while Drayton searched in about 10 inches of soil.
All three of the men were searching on the South West shore of the island on lot 26. Captain James Anderson, a pirate, owned lot 26. Drayton explained the rocks on the shore had been cleared for a landing spot on the island and people getting on and off boats lose stuff.
They found a 1700's spike. They also found a hook for unloading cargo. Gary Drayton and Jack Bagley discovered what they originally thought was a crossbow bolt (an arrow for a crossbow.)
In the "Curse of Oak Island," Season six episode three the team heard from an antiquities expert who believed the item was actually a Roman pilum or Roman javelin (a throwing spear) from the 1st Century B.C. to 5th Century A.D.
He speculated a cache of weapons may have been brought over.
Another interesting find is a possible coconut fiber found from drilling. The nearest coconut fiber is 1500 miles south of Oak Island. Another reason the find could be significant is coconut fiber was used to pack valuable items.
Both "The Curse of Oak Island: Digging Deeper and "The Curse of Oak Island" TV shows are on Tuesdays on History.

There was sad news on Tuesday's episode. Researcher and author Zena Halpern passed away. Halpern had appeared in a past episode. She spent more than 50 years researching possible Templar journeys to the new world. Zena left her research to Rick Lagina. Rick told her family members, grandson Jason and her son Davin he hopes he does Zena's research justice.
Halpern discovered a Templar document dated from 1178-1180 that discusses the Templars making landfall on an island of Oaks!
