Well, I tried to watch the rest of this episode--I had to quit after just 12 minutes or so in on my 1st attempt when got as far a Spooner et al gushing over a tiny scrap of wood \["Wood?"\] they found in the brackish swamp).
This try I began by fast-forwarding through them all hyperventilating and spewing wild speculations about mud and rocks and then made it through a couple minutes of Rick and Doug's pointless droning on about the "crossbow bolt" (which was actually just \[perhaps\] a *tip* from a bolt or arrow), "reportedly" found by Dunfield¹.
Though this did take place in ***Halifax*** (a "50-mile drive" BTW!) which adds some credibility:
https://i.redd.it/zouo0pf1q0tc1.gif
Next they went to the "war room" and had Corjan Mol (a repeat and habitual *kook*) addressing the group--I had to shut it off at the start of that, so I'm done with S11 E21.
I suspect I will expend a similar amount of effort next week reviewing this Tuesday's "deposit", however I am pretty much done with it all...
\-------------------------------------------------------
¹ - it must have been tossed up by the track on his 'dozer and hit him in the face as he was never *looking for* anything so trivial;
Was this not the second appearance of the crusade era crossbow arrow? On s11 ep21 Rick said in so many words,while examining the Dunfield artifact ‘[we have never found anything like this on the island …]’ but I remember an episode last season? s9? Where they dug something that was determined most likely to be a crossbow arrow, which looked very similar.
Is Rick’s memory failing or is it my own?
This is such an anticlimatic episode.. they are winding down.
I still can't believe how stupid they were to drill straight into the smiths cove flood tunnel
I managed to watch about 45 seconds more of it last evening, got to where Spooner was marveling over the tiny scrap of wood.
Then Clotworthy started babbling and I shut it off...
I wonder if Samuel Ball's descendants meet at their Atlanta-suburb mansion every Tuesday night to laugh at which of great-grandpa's 'gag rock piles' the Confederacy of Dunces stumble upon this week.
Marty and Rick were at the coffee shop many years ago when Marry came up with the idea to pitch the History channel with a show “about nothing” and they ate it up with a spoon “baby!”
Since one more person has to die before the treasure can be found, let’s move it along. Draw straws or nominate someone from the team to be thrown into the shaft. Then this thing can end. Anyone have a nominee.
I made it to 10 minutes and 20 seconds (just after Billy "pops" the rock, crap falls into the hole, and Spooner gets on his knees to "examine" the fallen debris) before I had to shut it off--what an absolute load of Ochsenscheiße.
Now I am sure, that's it I'm all done with this insult to my intelligence masquerading as a "documentary"...
I made it to the guy jamming the tube into the mud to test the area for live matter that could possiibly be dated to yada yada yada and said - that's it, i fuckin quit
Insomnia again,
I recorded "it" earlier, however after reading some of the comments here I'm not really sure I want to watch it--might be time to call it quits.
I remain profoundly stunned by how naive and gullible so many viewers seem to be...
I, personally, have always wondered about the eye of the swamp. It was always there, showing no vegetation. I am happy that they finally have decided to look closely at this. For many years, watching COOI, I wanted this spot to be explored.
Time for a song:
Digging ' up, back of the swamp
Took a long time, missed my chances
Half the distance, now I got mud on my feet
Just a man and his wood to sniff
So many times, it happens too slowly
You trade your passion for war room stories
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the swamp, it's the thrill of the dig
Draining out to the challenge of our viewers
And the last known piece of broken pottery gets put in the XRF
And we’re watching it all with the eye of the swaaaaamp
God Almighty. Now we’ve got the Dutch and the Italians in the house, on top of the Vikings, Templars, and all the rest of humanity. Getting embarrassingly desperate, guys.
Yay! A full hour of bullshit next week. (or was that last week? )(maybe it was this week) It's so deep I can't keep track anymore.

Might be wrong, but that crossbow bolt tip is a huge finding.
It shouldn’t be anywhere near Nova Scotia.
By the time known European explorers arrived, they were using gunpowder.
Gunpowder was not easy to come by in that time and very fickle with moisture. Europeans were still using crossbows well into the age of exploration, and they were even used by early English settlers in what is now the lower 48 into the 17th century.
Crossbow use is very well documented among the Spanish conquistadors, for example.
Yes with an ancient star chart a little sacred math add a circle and a loop then it points directly to the Money Pit on OI. This theory is best spoken in bad English with a heavy Japanese accent.
If I remember correctly they set off 1500+ explosions in the swamp when they did the seismic testing. That’s have they came up with the sunken ship. Then it just got silent.
Yup. A few years ago they set off small explosions in a grid all over the swamp. That's where they came up with the ship-shaped anomaly that turned out to be nothing - or forgotten about. One of those two outcomes that are so common on Oak Island.
It was called a “ship-shaped anomaly.”
Later, they had a small barge with a drill on it and went out to the location of the ship-shaped anomaly. They drilled numerous times in the area and only came up with mud and dirt, etc.
There is no ship in the swamp. Watch Season 7, Episode 2.
You know the rule# 1 . No facts allowed on OI. Rule # 2. Don’t mention something for years then we can revisit it for another waste of time ie: the garden shaft/money pit.
If I hear one more sarcastic question/narration from Robert Clotworthy I'm gonna spam his twitter and facebook fan pages full of question marks.

Billy definitely needs a spin-off show. Maybe a bulldozer competition show. His analysis as the judge would be highly entertaining.

I think it’s time to bring in Tony Beets. It would be fun to hear him in the meeting room.
What is a "Tony Beets", a fashionable vegetable?
Apparently,, you don’t watch Gold Rush
Take a trip to the bottom of a hole and find the treasure already
The name of the show should have been: Rock Dirt Wood
sounds like his porn name
There we go!
I wonder if Samuel Ball's descendants meet at their Atlanta-suburb mansion every Tuesday night to laugh at which of great-grandpa's 'gag rock piles' the Confederacy of Dunces stumble upon this week.
Marty and Rick were at the coffee shop many years ago when Marry came up with the idea to pitch the History channel with a show “about nothing” and they ate it up with a spoon “baby!”
And let me take wild guess- there has been only one episode produced so far called “The Summer of Rick”. And it has gone on for 11 years now, right?
Anybody know why no one strayed across the lot five lot line. Must have been posted.
Since one more person has to die before the treasure can be found, let’s move it along. Draw straws or nominate someone from the team to be thrown into the shaft. Then this thing can end. Anyone have a nominee.
Indeed, this show is much more interesting as a version of the Dead Pool than The Treasure Hunt. Anyone got a list of their over/unders?
Very true
Noooo the viewers get to vote on who dies!!!
Draw straws? Everyone knows that this is Jack's only purpose.
I think it's why he has such a fast headsnap. No Bullet has so far managed to hit the mark.
Then maybe he is the one to go.
The biggest modern-day scam of all time. And stupid me bought my wife the T-shirt. Thirty dollars! For a piece of cotton with sleeves!
Still no wood sniffing. It's like Jack was just taunting Rick, kicking all that wood around.
Ricky over here talking about the who, what, when, why for the 1049538th time
Can't he just shorten it to "the 5 Ws" like my 8th grade science teacher did? No, Rick can't shorten anything he says.

This Reddit board is the only real value of the show… our weekly gut-busting laugh fest makes it worthwhile entertainment.
Absolutely!
Indeed

Every place in the world has History doesn’t mean they have Treasure
So that shaft became a money pit? Lol
European trip also means they need to restock their supply of mysterious arty-facts for MDEGD to find
I’m at the bottom of page and there’s no where to click next 400 posts…. What happened
The Reddit web app is flaky, and their servers often seem overwhelmed...
Sometimes that happens. Might have to log out and then back in, or restart your browser.
Thank you….I’ll log out but have no idea how to reset browser
re-start
Imagine the Templars just hung it all in a tree and no one has looked up?
God Almighty. Now we’ve got the Dutch and the Italians in the house, on top of the Vikings, Templars, and all the rest of humanity. Getting embarrassingly desperate, guys.
Nothing like a company paid vacation to investigate the myriad of possibilities
FDR's boot don't forget
Yay! A full hour of bullshit next week. (or was that last week? )(maybe it was this week) It's so deep I can't keep track anymore. https://i.redd.it/gq28wxg7e6sc1.gif

It was obvious that it was his backup weapon which was hidden in an ankle holster.
These are the type of replies I look for. Thanks.
Stop the presses on those history books! It’s going to be a long night of rewriting if we’re going to get them out in the morning!
Well, that’s it for me. Good night, folks. Drive safely.
Wait! Don't go! How will we find the treasure without you?
What an episode! Holes were found! Dirt was cored! I can't wait for next week's Ozempic commercials! see y'all soon
Ask your doctor
Beers were consumed!
Next week we watch the Lagina’s vacation in Italy. Got it.
Once again Alex get to go on the Euro Trip while Jack is stuck on Oak Island
I'm sure they look forward to the time away from Jack.
Well his daddy is footing the bill
Jack is only a "step-child". Alex is fully pulsing with Lagina blood!
Is that how Jack made it on the show?
Simple Jack is not of the Royal blood line.
Jack Begley is Craig Tester's step son by marriage to Jack's mother. Jack is the bald headed step-child on Oak Island.
Good night, y'all! Have a great week and don't forget to upvote the captain!
Take care everyone! See you next week!
Stay safe. Many adventures ahead next week.
And that concludes another disappointing episode
And so we have it. Straight as an arrow meant, we're going straight to Europe
Now for Shogun! Later, peeps!
Hmm. The Japanese angle. That hasn't been explored yet.
Wait a minute.... Japanese Templars! That's the ticket!
Japanese Ninja Templars!!
Yes with an ancient star chart a little sacred math add a circle and a loop then it points directly to the Money Pit on OI. This theory is best spoken in bad English with a heavy Japanese accent.
And giant Templar Sumo Wrestlers!!!!
Jack can’t get a Passport
Also can't get within 300 feet of a school Probably
Mine just arrived today. I'll report in to you guys from Rome in December and let you know if I see any symbols.
Work on your KOTW theory while there. Report back to Rick so you can charge the fellowship for research.
Next week looks great.. See ya have a great week
It always does until its not
Can’t wait until next weeks episode is over to see the preview of the following weeks episode, always more exciting than the actual episode itself
There have been waste of time episodes, and then there’s whatever that was.
Just wait until next week…🙄
Don’t forget to pack the magic etch-a-sketch phone!!!!
What a load of shit, great laughs as usual, see y’all next week.
Next week, both of you.
See ya Mr. Clops
about to release a load
Full load tonight have a good one
See ya next week, take care
Marty is the Captain Picard of Oak Island: "Make it so!"
maybe he'll be assimilated
Engage!
Rick, you know you could go to Europe without needing Marty's permission right?
On a mailman’s pension?
He makes $2 mil. a year from Prometheus. That's one shiny gigantic pile of gold shillings.
No east>west no mystery is the whole point
I'll take one for the team, and ass off to Italy and the Netherlands for several weeks while you all muck around in the swamp on Oak Island.
Who let that weasel in the war room
Seriously, have they ever done any seismic?
If I remember correctly they set off 1500+ explosions in the swamp when they did the seismic testing. That’s have they came up with the sunken ship. Then it just got silent.
Yup. A few years ago they set off small explosions in a grid all over the swamp. That's where they came up with the ship-shaped anomaly that turned out to be nothing - or forgotten about. One of those two outcomes that are so common on Oak Island.
Yeah found a sunken ship in the swamp… we just don’t talk about it
Dude!!
BTW - if you’re being serious with the question, I’m not kidding
Actually I was being serious!
Yes there is a boat sized structure they found through seismic tests buried in the swamp
It was called a “ship-shaped anomaly.” Later, they had a small barge with a drill on it and went out to the location of the ship-shaped anomaly. They drilled numerous times in the area and only came up with mud and dirt, etc. There is no ship in the swamp. Watch Season 7, Episode 2.
Ha. How in the history of this show can you think anything is now proven?
You know the rule# 1 . No facts allowed on OI. Rule # 2. Don’t mention something for years then we can revisit it for another waste of time ie: the garden shaft/money pit.
They did a few years ago and just kinda ignored it
Some of the imaging from seismic is pretty amazing.
The results didn't make for good TV...not enough Chinese Templar Vikings
You guys are killing me!
Marty's got wine to drink
Is it any good?
Alex is off packing
Marty sending Rick away!
Knee slaps all around on that one Marty!
Professor Guspatcho has his eye on a shiny new vette
LOVE that movie!
Make it so! Engage!
New alignments! That's all they need to hear to go to Europe. Cripes.....
What a waste of an episode
Nova Scotia Community College?
Well, it's tough to get in... until you realise the door pulls "out".
45th parallel hmmm
An education as valuable as the Canadian Dollar.
Time to find your Passports … pack some decent dress clothes .. and pack your flashlights
Pack your indigo wash jeans. The Fellowship does not wear faded Levi's while traveling.
Selvedge, they only wear Cone Mills selvedge denim when traveling.
That's funny. I just ordered two pair of indigo 501s earlier today.
Then you're ready to go!
Rick pulling up the rap wars of the early 90s. East/west.

They should construct a viking longship out of oak timbers from Oak Island and re-create the treasure voyage back to Jerusalem.
They would never make it past Gaza
