The video follows Jack Begley and Gary Drayton as they search Smith's Cove for historical artifacts. They discover a lead piece potentially linked to a medieval cross, suggesting a connection to a 700-year-old structure. The team also finds cribbing spikes, which may indicate the presence of an older wooden structure. These findings could provide evidence of historical activities at the site, dating back to 1769 or earlier. Despite the discoveries, the team is puzzled by the lack of coins or other artifacts typically associated with such structures.
