Rick is a retired postal worker. Marty is an engineer that started and then sold an energy company for $60 million. Oh and Marty owns MARI VINEYARDS, in Michigan of all places, and wears the shirt in episode this season. Both are crazy.

I am glad to hear this show is still going since Ghost Mine, which was the exact same kind of concentrated stupid, was canceled.

Anyone else remember a pilot episode to a treasure hunting show that aired earlier this year? It mighg have been on history or Discovery, there was a sunken ship with a legit cargo manifest with a bunch of gold? on it. But it was miles underwater and also the guy totally murdered/manslaughtered his partner after discovering and only just recently got out. What happened with that? I take it it never got picked up.

Who lotta talk, not so much treasure. At least this treasure actually exists. Wonder if they'll ever be able to recover it. Wikipedia says they got more dives planned in 2017 and a season 2.

In this latest episode as soon as hey pulled out the long log out of that big hole, I was like uhhh there's no way that thing is old. It had perfect 90 degree corners on it. Not sure the technology existed in the 1600s to make perfectly square timbers. Edit: MARI VINEYARDS

Why don't they just take a bulldozer and Digg out the main place? Outside of TV show reasons that would make the most sense to me

Not sure the technology existed in the 1600s to make perfectly square timbers. They've been able to make squared timber for like 8000 years. It's just that it got a lot easier in the last 200 years after the invention of the circular saw. The only place you'd really see it commonly before the industrial revolution was in ship building.

Yeah you can make nearly perfectly square timber with a chalk/char line, plumb bob, hewing axe and an adze. It just takes like 100 hours. And gang saws, whip saws and pit saws have been around for many hundreds of years too. joebuddah posted:Why don't they just take a bulldozer and Digg out the main place? Outside of TV show reasons that would make the most sense to me They're prettymuch on the beach, groundwater is too much of an issue to just dig a big hole. They're doing the right thing with a big hollow pile for the depths they're looking at. They just need to quit farting around and get it sunk.

But it was miles underwater and also the guy totally murdered/manslaughtered his partner after discovering and only just recently got out. I watched it. It was pretty lame compared to Oak Island. Lots of manufactured drama, things dragging out. They spent the entire season telling the guy's life story in flashback with him fighting with his ex wife, bugging her phone, and shooting her new boyfriend.  FWIW, Oak Island is a lot better. TheDon01 posted:Yeah you can make nearly perfectly square timber with a chalk/char line, plumb bob, hewing axe and an adze. It just takes like 100 hours. The circular saw marks pretty much wrecked any chance it was old. Even Dan Blankenship took a 2 second look and said "yep, circular saw, this is like 100 years old tops." If there is any chance there are actually flood tunnels, they really need to try and shut them down or otherwise they're never gonna get anywhere. Maybe next week when they DRAIN THE SWAMP  they'll actually start on that.

Next week they will setup all the equipment to drain the swamp. They won't start draining until the following week.

No, they'll set it up, start draining, find SOMETHING HUGE, then decide to come back to it later. Then they'll have 2 other guys go somewhere else and look for something else.

Is this on the same channel as Ancient Aliens? I just saw a random AA episode talking about the money pit and apparently the first people to find it were drawn to it because of UFO lights or something. Also the guy with the big hair seemed to agree that whats down there is the arc of the covenant and/or an alien nuclear reactor because some of the wood is from the future and only alien power can do that.

IIRC what really happened was that someone just happened to be on the island and saw a depression in the ground and decided that there must be treasure buried there.

Or the lost works of Shakespeare!" Usually Rick and Marty, if they hear that poo poo, just nod bemusedly. I'm pretty sure they think they are just digging up pirate gold.

I can't wait for their new dig site to be a huge empty cavern. Could it be? A spike used to hold together planking on a ship? Did pirates really sink a ship in the mysterious triangle shaped swamp? Uhhh no. Pretty sure if they sunk a whole drat ship you would have found more than a single spike and one board.

So someone tossed a spike into the swamp and now it is proof a Spanish Galleon is somehow sunk down in the mud and full of Shakespeare's unpublished plays and the cure for cancer. If they have spent 2 million digging these holes then there really is no treasure that they can recover to make back even half what they have spent. Plus there is no treasure. Who buries treasure 140 feet deep? I hope the season ends with then sacrificing Barkhouse by throwing him into the cavern. That is legal in Canada right?

This has been my wife and I's go to background noise show for a few weeks now. I bet they find something this week. But my favorite treasure hunting show was the really fat guy with his possibly criminal redneck friends who would search for civil war bullets or coins and poo poo in peoples yards. He would yell BOOM BABY if he found like a paperclip and treated it like he just struck oil.

My wife already hates that I watch this show but she's getting more irritated now that I'm saying mundane things like the narrator- "Could it BE? The DOG needs to be TAKEN OUT? FOR A WALK?!", "Could it BE? We are having SPAGHETTI? FOR DINNER?!?!" Kids hate it too

Plus they bear loads around the whole circumference of the nail, instead of just on one side. Like the thing they found. Which was a loving railroad spike. And it looks exactly like the railroad spike I have on my book case that I can see right now with my eyes. Although, what the hell is a railroad spike is doing there I have no idea. Seems like a pretty random object to find there.
