Comment on Curse of Oak Island is back!
jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 year agoThey’ve found a lot of things, but nothing you’d call treasure with a capital T.
Probably the most interesting thing they found is a lead cross with a weird hand on it:

That was 6 seasons ago now.
In Smith’s cove a few seasons ago they uncovered something called the U-shaped structure, made from logs with Roman numerals carved into it, but that appears now to just be the remains of a barn blown in from a hurricane.

I am curious how much is planted.
I read they found a shipwreck or something? Supposed to be Roman.
As I said I haven’t watched in years since it was becoming just a repeat of the proper episode.
As a kid I wanted to believe there was something to the story. Now I believe if there was anything. It’s long gone. Most likely there was nothing there

That’s a pretty common accusation, at least one artifact from the early days of the show is known to be fake, and, surprise, surprise, they don’t talk about that one any more:

But, it’s worth noting that the sword wasn’t discovered by the show, it was found by noted fraud J. Hutton Pulitzer (not his real name), and was actually exposed by the show as being a fake.
