In this week’s episode of The Curse of Oak Island, there was major excitement with the discovery of an ancient Roman coin, thought to date back to between 300 BC and 600 AD. The episode was packed with new information that will definitely have the team rethinking their approach at The Money Pit.

As the borehole drilling team searched for a tunnel, they were surprised to find a new shaft instead. However, the most significant discovery came from a tiny artifact found in Gary Drayton’s pocket—a half coin. Coin expert and numismatist Sandy Campbell was invited to the interpretative center to examine it. With a calm demeanor, he delivered some earth-shattering news: the coin is indeed of Roman origin, likely from the ancient Roman or Byzantine period, dating between 300 BC and 600 AD.

The team was left wondering, what is a Roman coin doing on Oak Island? Sandy assured them that the design was definitely Roman, featuring an image of a tree and a figure, but he couldn’t explain its presence on the island.

Meanwhile, at The Money Pit, the drill team was attempting to chase a tunnel they’d encountered a few weeks prior. However, at just 39 feet deep, they discovered a lot of wood, realizing they had stumbled upon a brand-new shaft. This was unexpected, as there’s no historical record of a shaft at this location, prompting further investigation. The recovered wood beams appeared to be cut using a pit saw, suggesting they dated back to the 15th century.

On a misty morning, as the sun rose over Oak Island, the tension was palpable. Lot 5, often overshadowed by The Money Pit, was about to become the focus of attention. The team began excavating in a rocky patch when they got an urgent signal from the metal detector. Digging deeper, they uncovered a small metallic disc—an ancient coin, glinting in the sunlight.

As they examined it, the details of the coin began to emerge. It bore the profile of a Roman Emperor, surrounded by faint Latin inscriptions. The discovery left everyone in awe, sparking speculation about how such a coin ended up on a remote island in Nova Scotia.

Was it part of a larger treasure? Had ancient explorers crossed the ocean long before Columbus? Or was it brought by more recent travelers, like the Knights Templar or pirates? The possibilities were endless.

The coin was sent to a numismatics expert, who confirmed its Roman origins. This extraordinary discovery reignited interest in Oak Island, with theories ranging from ancient mariners to hidden treasures.

Rick and Marty, ever the pragmatists, recognized the potential significance of the find. If one Roman coin could be discovered, what else might lie beneath the surface? They redoubled their efforts, scanning and excavating the area with renewed determination.

As the sun set over the island, casting long shadows across Lot 5, the team stood contemplating the enormity of their discovery. The Roman coin wasn’t just an artifact; it was a key to unlocking Oak Island’s ancient past.

For Rick and Marty, this find symbolized both triumph and challenge—a reminder that Oak Island reveals its secrets only to those patient and persistent enough to seek them.
