Oak Island watchers...

[shraby]

Whatcha think about the latest turn of events? It's plausible.

1. I missed it.

What happened?

[shraby]

2. Kinda complicated. If you have cable, you may be able to see it on

"on demand" later.
Also the day before and the day of the next episode which is next Tuesday they'll show the re-run of it just before it comes on.
They are going a whole new direction.

3. I recorded the 7pm Central time one.

I am looking at it now but it is a repeat from two weeks ago/maybe last weeks. This is the one where the remote vehicle searches 10X. I read the description online and thought I had seen it so i did not watch. But the DVR one from today is a repeat for me.

4. I looked at the online guide and it shows Oak Island again at 11:00 p.m. central time

It might be the same segment as was shown at 8.

11. Oh, I have no idea. I was guessing its about the new tv series

9. My parents and I stopped at Oak Island ten years ago. As we pulled up to

the causeway a car full of college kids arrived wearing pirate hats. Seems they got the bug one evening in New Brunswick, hopped in their car and drove to the island. They made pirate hats out of newspaper I think. I'm sure there is nothing to find at the bottom of the money pit. But I enjoy the journey. Lived in Nova Scotia twice in my life. Love it and the people.

7. I remember watching to see what was in

Al Capone's 'vault'.

10. Azteks and Mayans. Oh my!!!

I found it interesting and who knows, I am open to all of it and attached to none of it. It's a good history lesson anyway. Sure seems like something of great value was placed there back around the 1500's. I still got my hopes of them finding the Ark of the Covenant, and yet I would settle for a Mayan treasure as well.

12. Well, I think they found gold...but not Aztec gold of even Aztec blue clay

The money is in the commercial advertising that runs during the show.

The show itself is another adult version of Bob the Builder.

13. Something actually happened on that show?

I started watching it last year - briefly - and was quickly bored to death. This year I tried again, but all they seem to do is drill holes. I thought reality TV was missing an opportunity to have a show featuring a well drilling company with the suspense being "will they hit water????? - tune in next week."
