Exploration of the Money Pit

The Oak Island team, including Rick, Charles, Craig, and Dave, is drilling a new borehole, IJ 5.5, near the Money Pit site. This location was chosen due to its proximity to GAU-1, where previous significant discoveries were made, including a gold-plated button and an old spike. The team aims to find a tunnel between shaft six and the Money Pit, lost since 1861. During drilling, they discover a wooden beam at 111 feet, matching historical records of shaft six. The team believes this could lead to the original Money Pit and a potential debris field. They reflect on their progress and plan the next steps in their search for treasure.
