Has anyone else started watching this show? I am a sucker for this kind of thing and so far it has been very interesting. You can watch the first two episodes in the link below. Since this was filmed over the summer, if any of you have figured out what happens please use spoilers for anything that hasn't aired yet.
For those who aren't familiar, very briefly, it is about an island on the eastern shore of Canada that is rumored to have buried treasure from possibly the Knights Templar dating back to the 1300s. In 1795 an apparent secret hiding space was discovered in which levels of wooden planks were buried every 10 feet. Digging down around a hundred feet, they found some gold link chain and a few other things. Eventually they dug to a point that causes the hold to be flooded by sea water as if it was some sort of boobie trap, which is believed to come from some type of tube that is out in the ocean.
Another person in the 1970s dug alongside the original hole but also got his hole flooded by sea water. These guys now who are on the show purchased most of the island and are trying to solve the mystery with help from the guys who dug their own hole in the 1970s. The hole curse aspect is just kind of meh and I don't really pay attention to it, but I am sure the producers just like the added element it presents. The mystery and adventure is really interesting. It is nice to see a show like this that is actually producing some results so far. [Reply]

Have they found the Knights Templar treasure? No. But they have found some interesting items and made an interesting scan of a space down there from last season that warrant the continued search. [Reply]

So pretty much every other episode so far?... [Reply]
There is without a doubt and 100% a fairly large space down there. That much is proven at this point. Some of the other potential things such as vertical beams that seem artificial and their material being uncertain, a body, and a box is a bit less confirmed. [Reply]

The only thing that keeps my interest is that someone clearly made this.
I don't know who or why but someone made a thing that was never intended to be opened... [Reply]
