And then of course, on the last episode of the season they find a piece of gold chain or an old coin 100 feet down!
In one of the early season episode, they drilled a hole and it did not yield anything. Before they closed the whole, the brother with the glasses, threw a modern Canadian 2 dollar coin down the hole. In Canada they call them Loonie or Toonies. The brother also said something along the lines of if he ever found it again. The show went on until the last season when the metal detecting guy, hit on something in the spoils from the grab. It was revealed to be the samme one (so they say) as the one he threw down there years ago. There is supposedly enough current down at dpeth to move the coin ten feet before it rested on what they think is the bottom. This led to them thinking the treasure vault, when an earlier searched hear the loud rumble which was surmised to be a collapse, it lef themm to believe the treasure vault is mmuch deeper and had moved which is why they were coming up empty in their search since they had found Hole #2. This led to the War room in which took most of the final show with the artifacts found laid out on the table by century in a timeline fashion. The earliest century was the 1500’s and the timeline went up to the Loonie the younger brother threw down a hole which was sealed up later.
Yes there are carvings of corn in that Cathedral. The Cathedral of Exeter dates back to the time of King Ethelwolf in 855. However, corn was a staple crop in England back then as it was given as a form of tithe to the Church. If corn originated in the New World, how was the Old World growing it before the above so-called experts in ancient trade routes claim there was none as we only have “circumstantial” evidence. 855 is before the Vikings grew in stature and power.

Thanks for that better information than my recollection.
So are you saying that corn did not originate in the New World? Or are you supporting the idea that it was brought over by say, the Knight’s Templar. I think another idea was that a storm could have brought a raft of debris to England, including a bunch of corn.
Like I said - I loved reading about Oak Island in Reader’s Digest as a little kid. So it is fun to see somebody still doing some exploring of it.
Stuff like this I think you have to really enjoy the search as much as you would enjoy the treasure. Hmm - like hunting or fishing some days!?
