Well, it's their money, and they can stupid it all away if they want to, but that much stupid concentrated on one little island is more than I can stand. <br />I'm changing the channel to watch SpongeBob, where a sqirrel lives in an underwater dome, a sponge cooks burgers in a restaurant owned by a crab whose daughter is a whale, and they build campfires underwater. It's just as stupid as the "Oak Island Mystery," but at least it's make-believe stupid. The stupid currently contained on Oak Island should be spread evenly over the state of Montana, where it can be properly diluted and rendered harmless.<br />My apologies to fans of the show; if you can still take it, enjoy it with my blessing. In my opinion, however, The Curse of Oak Island has become this decade's Seinfeld - a show about NOTHING.<br /> Jim695https://www.blogger.com/profile/14183565599125228331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-44255683116089800962019-10-05T16:06:23.485-07:002019-10-05T16:06:23.485-07:00First your facts are flawed from the get go.

Are the Latinas searching in vain? Maybe? Are they doing something many of us dreamed of doing as a child, searching for pirate treasure?yes! I give them credit for doing a very thorough investigation. We cannot say there is nothing on that island, things have been found already. Obviously something has happened on that island. I believe alot more than just a "boat repair" dock. How do you explain the human remains? The book binding? The coins and jewels? I just want to see them continue, I enjoy the show and the thrill of the hunt. So yeah I will keep watching and wishing them the best!

Another good portion was taken up by narrator constantly naming and renaming all the regulars when they meet.

Completely random guessing with a metal detector.wow......storms, time, other hunters would have removed a lot of surface evidence. So, the random guess that turns up a muddy coin? More like a planted coin. Scuba in a hole and what looks like a tow fish of sorts dropped into a 6" access hole, requiring expert interpretation. Gee, how much would it have cost to put a GoPro with a bunch of lights n that hole? So dumb. Clearly all these experts weren't capable of figuring out that often the simplest solution is the best one. Sadly people are gullible enough to support the viewing of this tripe. And instead of TV we can learn from we have this fringe material promoted by scam artists on what was supposed to be a history channel. Nice work! Go back to school. Read a book. Get outside. Nothing to see here.

Also in season finale he was present so that would mean they had finished the season when he passed. That would mean the curse has been lifted maybe they find something season seven. <br /><br />In no way do I in any way mean any disrespect to him family ect. but I thought same thing with fred (but he wasn't active in search just gave access) where as Dan help with knowledge and insights and in earlier season was on site more often.
