Curse of Oak Island’s Dumas Team worked on the Garden Shaft since last year, but now they finally got a breakthrough, they also hit a major challenge. It’s a different challenge from the mining permit issues, but it could be even harder to overcome for the History Channel treasure hunt.
Curse Of Oak Island Dumas Team & The Garden Shaft
Recently, a marker got everyone excited because it suggested that the Garden Shaft might be a way to assess tunnels. The quest to find treasure down there excites a lot of people. Some trinkets and a cross, plus a new silver find keep viewers coming back. However, some of them tire of nothing major happening but the garden shaft seems to be a major key to finding more.
Curse of Oak Island relics lie in different places, and a major step involved the Chappel Vault under the money pit. However, in the current season, everyone waits for the Dumas Mining team to breach via the Garden shaft. Teasers of the History Channel show revealed they did. However, it quickly became filled with problems. Marty and Rick Lagina just can’t seem to get a break.
Wet and Wild Problems With The Garden Shaft
The latest episode, Wet and Wild, teasers revealed that the Dumas Team finally hit the marker they had been working towards. However, it could end up a lot more difficult than predicted. As they broke through, water gushed out. So, they seem to have a flooded tunnel disaster. Water in mining isn’t unheartd of, but it could be a long setback.
The objective for the team was to get down to 160 feet and then drill sideways toward the Baby Blob. There, the team leaders believe they should find some decent treasure. However, so much water gushed out, that the workers scrambled to get out of the way. Was it seepage? Or, was it a deliberate effort to prevent people from raiding the treasure?
Disappointed History Channel Viewers
On Twitter (X), people feel sad about the many setbacks the team faces. While the team discovered a copper trinket near Nolan’s Cross, they still haven’t found the burial site of the Ark of the Covenant. So, some fans mocked Marty and Rick Lagina’s efforts:
- @JustinFoote008: They keep digging holes and pretty soon that island will sink 🙄 They are making more money off tourists than they will from any treasure.
- @altx0012 @Samsies. I don’t even like the show anymore. But godamn it if I’m gonna not see them find the treasure after investing a decade of my life watching!
- Wait that show is still on the air. I thought they would have found the treasure but now.
I’m afraid if I stop watching The Curse of Oak Island m that they’ll find the treasure.
This week they found a nail! 😂
A really old one though.— Jodi (@GenuinelyJodi) March 27, 2024
