Bone Discovery and Material Analysis

The Oak Island team, led by Rick Lagina, investigates findings from borehole H-8, including a dense wood suspected to be lignum vitae. The team discusses the significance of this discovery and plans to test it. Later, in the War Room, they consult archaeologist Laird Niven about a bone found 160 feet deep. The team is surprised by the bone's presence and considers testing methods to determine its origin and age.
