Oak Island Discovery Insights

The Oak Island team, including Rick and Marty Lagina, gather to discuss dendrochronology results from wood samples found at Smith's Cove. Dr. Colin Larocque presents findings that date the structures to the 1770s, predating the discovery of the money pit. This suggests significant activity on the island before known searcher efforts, providing new insights into the island's history.
