After 10 Years Rick Lagina FINALLY Found The Oak Island Treasure At Lot 21

1. Significant Discoveries:

• Fragment of Ceramic: A piece of pottery, with a purple-glazed rim and dark interior, was uncovered on Lot 5. Its unique features suggest it may date back to the 1600s, potentially linking the island to European explorers long before the infamous Money Pit was created.
• Iron Latch: Found near a circular stone formation, the latch could be part of a hidden cellar or trap. Its discovery raises the possibility that the island’s early inhabitants deliberately modified the land to secure valuable items.

2. The Garden Shaft and Potential Tunnels:

• Aladdin’s Cave: A large void discovered underground, potentially hiding treasure. The team found wooden structures that suggest human activity, possibly a hidden chamber designed to store treasure.
• Wood Fragments: At a depth of around 100 feet, chunks of wood were found, which could point to a hidden tunnel or structure below, potentially part of the original treasure deposits.

3. The Coins:

• The team has unearthed a series of mysterious, handmade coins. These include Roman-style coins, with one featuring a faint image of a woman and another displaying chain-like patterns. This discovery prompts theories about connections between the Knights Templar, ancient visitors, and Oak Island.
• Unique Materials: One coin contained elements like calcium and phosphorus, commonly found in French deniers from the 13th century. This supports the theory that the island may have seen exchanges between different cultures, possibly involving the Knights Templar.

4. Artifacts and Historical Insights:

• Pottery: A large piece of pottery was uncovered, possibly made in England or Pennsylvania in the late 1700s. This discovery hints at early settlers or secretive treasure activity on the island, possibly tied to Sir William Phips or other early treasure depositors.
• Military Objects: Items like lead shot and a musket ramrod guide found nearby suggest potential military activity on the island, possibly tied to French naval treasures or even battles from the 1700s.

5. Ongoing Exploration:

• Swamp Area: The team explored the swamp with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and found additional ceramic fragments and coins, including a possible Chinese coin, raising questions about trade, shipwrecks, or the involvement of indigenous people in the island’s history.

6. Wood Samples and Potential Refining:

• Wood Fragments Analysis: Traces of rare elements like palladium were found in wood samples at depths where treasure might be located. Palladium is often associated with gold refining, suggesting that earlier visitors might have been refining gold or other precious metals on the island.

7. The Big Picture:

• With each new find, the team’s understanding of Oak Island’s history becomes more complex. These discoveries suggest a long history of human activity, involving multiple cultures and possible treasure hiding across different time periods. Some of the finds seem to hint at a treasure dating back centuries, with connections to the Templars, French, and even indigenous groups.
