That's an eye-roller.

And how in the world would someone 400 years ago moved and buried a giant metal plate 75 feet below ground?

Now you have a spinoff series, so looks like they've milked this one for all it's worth.

I don't think anything is left.....but history proves there was, at the very least, some sort of civil engineering project going on on that small island off the Canadian coast.  So why would that be the case?  That's what I'd like to know.  One theory states that Canada was discovered by Europeans long before official history dictates.  Maybe that's what they establish.  However, the box drains have been discovered, they are finding massive timbers in the cove along the shore, and numerous other structures on the island throughout history.  This is documented, and the current show has shown evidence of these things as well.  Why does this tiny island have evidence of an infrastructure that dates back over 300 years?

I think the other is a mini series.....and apparently, they contacted Marty to produce the show.

Anyway, the show makes for some good, cheap entertainment.  Now, kindly skedaddle your skeptical butt down the road.. 

Yeah.....I might be skeptical of the iron cross (but then again, they made no qualms about dismissing the alleged Roman sword as a fake), but some of the other finds seem rather genuine, and I see no problem with a large scale excavation and using block and tackle to hoist heavy objects into place back in the 1700s when Egyptians and Mayans were moving MASSIVE stones and stacking them before Jesus was alive.

Just am not a fan of the show. Watched at beginning but got bored after first season.

Will go back and watch if they find it.

Although I do believe that something significant is there.

But doesn't the legend say that one more person has to die before it is found ?

One of the brothers is going to have to push the other down the hole in order to find treasure.

If the legend is true, then it may be that the death of Craig Tester's son is the key that unlocks it.  The first couple of seasons were hard to sit through, but lately, the hunt has been gaining momentum.
