The Oak Island team, led by Rick Laguna, is on a quest to locate the original treasure shaft by drilling at the money pit site. They aim to confirm the existence of a centuries-old searcher tunnel. Recent drilling revealed wood timbers believed to be part of the elusive shaft 6 tunnel. Using sonic drilling, the team extracts core samples to find evidence of the tunnel and potential artifacts. Discoveries suggest a possible collapse of the money pit in 1861, leading to further exploration plans.
