Episode recap

“The Curse of Oak Island” season 7 episode 22 is also expected to continue the works where they are using a massive oscillator to see what is below the ground. In the previous “A Leaf of Faith” episode, the children of Robert Restall, Richard and Lee Lamb, were back in the island to show an artifact that they think came from the tunnel that is protecting the Money Pit.

They came with ancient acorns and oak leaf to compare with the items to the ones that are currently planted on the island and they determined that they are different. It means that there could be some truths in the stories that the oak trees planted in the 1700s were placed there to mark the spots where the treasures sit.

The Laginas also brought Richard to the shack that he and his brother lived in the 1950s and he was surprised that it is still standing though dilapidated and was told that they are planning to restore it. Lastly, Gary Drayton found a pickaxe in the debris that came 90 feet below the ground. He thinks it was left there by the original builder or searcher of the Money Pit.

“The Curse of Oak Island” season 7 episode 22 will air on April 21 at 9 p.m. on History.
