"The Curse of Oak Island" Season 11 Premiere: Record-Breaking Discovery of Ancient Coins Unveils Possible Roman, English, Indian, and Chinese Connections

Season 11 premiere of "The Curse of Oak Island" kickstarts with five intriguing finds, including coins potentially from different time periods, and an artifact that could validate a popular conspiracy theory, leading to possible connections to the Knights Templar.

  • The Season 11 premiere of "The Curse of Oak Island" saw the Discovery of ancient coins with potential Roman, English, Indian and Chinese origins, while the show’s team also unearthed an artifact potentially validating the Oak Island's supposed connection to the Knights Templar.
  • Main characters Rick & Marty Lagina, leading the treasure hunt since 2014, break a show record by discovering three ancient coins in one morning along with numismatology expert Gary Drayton. Additional team members found two more coins in separate searches.
  • The coins were examined by numismatist Sandy Campbell, who confirmed the treasure hunters had found a coin, speculated to be of Roman or French origin, which is likely the oldest ever discovered on Oak Island, potentially dating back around 2,000 years.
  • In addition to the coins, the team discovered a metal object speculated to be a river spike that closely matches artifacts from the birthplace of the English treasure hunter Sir William Phips, thereby strengthening the theory that Phips may have hidden the alleged Oak Island treasure.
  • Other notable discoveries from the season premiere include red earthenware potentially dating back to the 1600s, indicating early settlers on the island, evidence of a collapsed chamber from sonic drilling, as well as various sunken objects in a body of water near the island.
