In her first book, Joy made the very convincing argument that Oak Island’s true treasure is its multi-layered history – its role in 18th-century world affairs. One of those people is professional geologist Gordon Fader, whose expertise has been sought out over the years by numerous explorers, treasure hunters, consultants and researchers whose names appear frequently throughout Joy’s enquiries and books, and many others. Her version of events and her take on the now mythical treasure attracted the attention of a great many Island-watchers, drawing the interest of some and the ire of others.Īmong the people “interested” are many who in the past studied, explored and written about Oak Island. Joy Steele’s ground-breaking first book, The Oak Island Mystery, Solved (CBU Press 2015), was born of her own curiosity about “Oak Island gold,” and her application of historical research to the mystery caused quite a stir among treasure hunters, historians, archaeologists and folks just plain interested in what was and is going on there. For more than two centuries, the island has been studied, searched, probed and cursed all the while failing to give up its secrets. Legends, questions and theories abound about Oak Island, Nova Scotia, and tales of buried treasure there. Join Gordon Fader, co-author of this fascinating book for a presentation on one of Nova Scotia’s most enduring mysteries – Oak Island. Will the Lagani brothers ever find treasure on The Curse of Oak Island or will things keep getting in their way?

They expanded on that this season by using new technology to map out areas under the island, which allows them to find clues and possible entry points without unnecessary digging. What resulted from that was just a tightening of regulations for the show.Īt the time, the Lagani stopped regular archeological methods for alternative digging techniques. This caused Marty Lagani to say on an episode at the time they would lay low on archeological methods, waiting for the dust to settle. It happened during Season 9 when the team discovered First Nation Mi’kmaq pottery shards on the island. This was when the Lagani brothers’ team found several centuries-old indigenous artifacts. In 2021, the Canadian government shut down a large part of the dig operations on the island. This isn’t the first time the Canadian government has interfered in the Lagani brothers’ treasure hunting on The Curse of Oak Island. The Canadian government has interfered before One fan took to Reddit to write, “The Canadian government wants to prevent a group of well-documented gold-diggers from blindly rebuilding a wooden shaft that goes down an unknown depth on an island where six treasure hunters have already died doing the exact same thing, and they’re the villains in this situation?” While they are not technically mining, it is still red tape that has once again made the government an enemy to the team finding treasure. The Canadian government said that hiring excavators means that the Lagani brothers need a mining permit. They also believe that one of the artifacts they found had Viking origin, which dates back even more years than they expected. They believed that they might have just found a series of tunnels and chambers that will lead to the mythical hidden treasure. This led the team to have to wait because it would take 50 days to go down about 75 feet. They believe they found passageways to a possible buried treasure on the island. Doug called Dumas Contracting Ltd and hired them to come in and work as excavators to dig them down and into these possible chambers. The Curse of Oak Island saw the team find a possible secret chamber underground around the Garden Shaft. Canadian government puts stop to Curse of Oak Island excavation Here is what is slowing down the search for treasure on Oak Island. Unfortunately, red tape is getting in the way. However, the goal was to find underground passages to what they believe is the treasure. The Canadian government stepped in to try to stop them from excavating on the island.
