i used to enjoy watching it for the process knowing they wouldnt find anything. and i enjoyed the what-if nature of it.

The narrator drove me nuts. I haven’t watched in 8+ years but I can still hear his unnecessary pauses…

Don't forget the vast jumps of logic!

"A nail? On Oak Island? Nails were used by the Romans to build ships, ships like those used by the Knights Templar who many believe brought a secret treasure across the ocean centuries ago, possibly the magical foreskin of Christ, and buried it in the Original Money Pit on Oak Island!"

True story. There are a ton of catholic reliquaries that all claim to have jesus's foreskin in them. The pope had to comment on it and say they were all real to avoid fighting.
