Exploring Historical Artifacts and Techniques

Rick Lagina and Gary Drayton explore Oak Island's Lot 15, aiming to uncover artifacts that may reveal a historical pathway between the swamp and the Money Pit. They face challenges due to new regulations requiring permits for metal detection. Despite modern debris, they discover an old ox shoe, potentially linked to a British pine tar kiln, suggesting historical activity in the area. The team hopes these finds will support their theory of a hidden road used for transporting heavy cargo.
