Here it is, guys! There it is!
Oh man, look at that!

Alex Lagina, Oak Island historian Charles Barkhaus,
and heavy equipment operator Billy Gerhart
gather near the swamp to receive a 35-ton long reach excavator.
Look at that! That’s really something.
It’s a long chunk of stuff, yeah.
You don’t appreciate it until it kind of turns and goes past you.

With the capability of reaching up to 80 feet out into the swamp
and to much deeper depths than they’ve been able to dig
in this area before,
the team’s hope is to not only find more evidence
that could help prove Fred Nolan’s incredible theory,
but also anything of value that might lie buried
beneath the muck and mud.

We have a number of items that we believe,
from a layman’s perspective, can be associated
with a ship or the building of ships even.
Hey guys, so now we’re digging to see what’s there
and hopefully find some information that puts this whole puzzle together.
Nice machine, Billy!
Yes, it is!

Marty: Hi guys!
Hey, Charles. You ready?
Absolutely! I just wonder where you start.
You like starting here?
Rick likes starting here.
Yeah, let Gary figure out where he wants the material laid down.

We have to lay eyes on this
because the number of finds we’ve made that are wooden—
there’s something in there, I think, right?
Yeah.

Put her where do you want it to go, Billy,
and let’s take a few shovelfuls.
Time to dig!
Time today just doesn’t want to come.

Ready? Go!
Yeah, ready! Rock and roll, Billy!
Here we go, ready for some slop!

Oh yeah! While Billy begins digging with the long-range excavator,
Marty Lagina uses a smaller 13-ton excavator
to clear water away from the area as it accumulates.
Meanwhile, Gary Drayton will scan the spoils
for any potential metal clues or valuables.

I don’t know that there’s a quote-unquote treasure chest
or something that can be retrieved from the body of the swamp,
but Mr. Nolan did find some ship parts there,
and his beliefs are now being validated
because we are finding ship items.

So, if there is a ship there,
then I want to see the evidence.
I want to prove that indeed at the bottom of the swamp
there is a ship.
We don’t have that information yet.

You want to walk in there?
Uh, yeah, please.
That’d be great.

There we go, thanks!
You see all this water here?
Yeah, the trench is starting to silt up.
Look at that!

There she goes!
Yeah!

Hey guys!
Hey there! Hi!
Mike requested a shovel.
Yeah, everything’s going well; it’s just getting going now.
We’re getting to deeper layers.

Okay, now we’re gonna try to get the majority of that water
to get moving. Marty’s clearing the ditch a little bit.
Okay, so the hope is that we can continue to move
that way towards the areas that we have.

Yeah, this all falls within the apartment.
Does not look like a—
that’s a pretty big log.
That’s a big stump!

Yeah, how deep was that?
Four to six.
I think that’s the root at the bottom right over here.
I think so, yeah.

Pretty big, whatever it is.
Color is like oak.
Did you do that, Gary?
Yeah, I did it.
Yeah, no.

Matter of fact, late said that it’s four to six feet down.
I mean, that says something about dry being dry land,
and then somehow four feet of organics
went over the top of it, and then it became a wetland.

A possible oak tree stump found in the southern region of the swamp
because oak trees cannot grow naturally in water environments.
Could Rick be correct that this stump offers more evidence
that the swamp was artificially made,
just like the late Fred Nolan strongly believed?

One time, that had to be forest land.
Yeah, the tree of this size would not be rooted
unless it were dry.
It may provide a certain date as to when the swamp
became a swamp, and it may be able to tell a story.

I’d love to see a 500-year representation
of what this may have looked like,
and that could help explain some of the other things that are happening.
If that’s the root you cut, figure out how old it is first,
and then draw your interpretation from there.
