“The Curse of the Oak Island” season 7 concluded on April 28 and that was Rick, Marty Lagina and their team of experts’ last dig for the year. The episodes for the seventh installment were filmed in advance so the finale was shot in November when the weather is starting to get really cold since winter time is fast approaching in Nova Scotia.
Recap
With the difficult weather, the team has ended their operations and most likely they will be back for season 8. In “The Curse of Oak Island” season 7 episode 23 titled “Timeline,” the team convened in the war room and everything that they found throughout the season was laid out on the table according to the year they were supposed to have come from.
They are all excited because the chart goes all the way down to the early 1200s. The squished stick and smashed rock that Dr. Ian Spooner picked up tell them that the paved stones in the “eye of the swamp” were put in place in the medieval era. After carbon dating the stick, the date revealed to be from early 1200 AD.
Rick and Marty Lagina were gobsmacked by the new information because they are now working on something that happened on the island long before the discovery of the Money Pit. Possibly, human activities were on-going even before the treasures were buried there and this info simply debunks the belief that the island has been untouched and isolated before the fabled treasures arrived.
As per History, “The Curse of the Oak Island” season 7 episode 23 titled “Timeline” is the end of the drilling season on Oak Island. They spent a year working and collected a number of groundbreaking discoveries and now it seems they will continue the quest to solve the 225-year-old treasure mystery in the coming season.
Special episode
There was a special episode after the finale and it highlighted season 7’s top 10 moments that include the finding of the paved stones in the “eye of the swamp,” tunneling tools, a ring, metals that are assumed to be a buckle for a chest, a lid of a barrel that could have been used as a container of valuables and lastly, the underground tunnel on Samual Ball’s property.
In any case, “The Curse of Oak Island” has no return date yet but it will surely be back as they still have a lot to explore. The Cinemaholic opined that it may arrive in 2021 but the schedules will still depend on the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
