Vanessa Lucido’s MASSIVE New Dig Strategy at Oak Island!
Vanessa Lucido didn’t just find old wood—she found a tunnel built with trees not from Oak Island. Someone brought that wood from far away to build something deep underground. She didn’t dig for fun—she followed a plan. Each rock and mark was a clue someone left behind. Tune in because when her drill hit a secret lid deep in the dirt, everything started to change.

00:00Gary, have you hammered this area?
00:03No, I haven't, Marty, because it's so rough.
00:05It's as rough as a...
00:06So we'll watch what the grab's bringing up
00:08and what that material is.
00:09Yeah, that's gonna be...
00:11This is a type of thing that would be carried
00:13by a British soldier.
00:15Vanessa Lucido didn't just find old wood.
00:18She found a tunnel built with trees not from Oak Island.
00:22Someone brought that wood from far away
00:24to build something deep underground.
00:26She didn't dig for fun.
00:27She followed a plan.
00:29Each rock and mark was a clue someone left behind.
00:33Tune in, because when her drill hit a secret lid
00:35deep in the dirt, everything started to change.
00:38The spike beneath the split rock.
00:41It all started with a weird gap underground.
00:44A vault-like pocket in the swamp, empty but not boring.
00:47A space that looked like something had been taken
00:49or never placed.
00:51Creepy, quiet, and waiting to be figured out.
00:54Rick Lagina saw it, nodded once, and called the troops.
00:57Not with words, but with that intense stare of his
01:00that means drop your sandwich, it's treasure time.
01:03But the gap wasn't as empty as it seemed.
01:05One person didn't blink.
01:07She slammed the gears into research mode.
01:09No soft starts, no looking back.
01:12She told Doug, Judy, and Terry to dive deep.
01:14Not into dirt, into paper.
01:16They hit up some old museum in Connecticut,
01:19one of those spots with more dust than lighting.
01:21Inside, a goldmine of forgotten records.
01:25She had her eye on Fred Nolan's theory,
01:27the one that said Oak Island isn't hiding one stash,
01:30it's hoarding multiple ones.
01:32And buried in that pile of dead trees was the jackpot.
01:36It's a complex story,
01:37and thus there has to be a why to it.
01:41Enter William B. Goodwin,
01:44a businessman with a hobby problem.
01:45He collected Oak Island notes
01:47like some people collect ketchup packets.
01:50Among his many piles was a hand-drawn sketch
01:52of what he swore was a treasure map.
01:55Not just one X, but three.
01:56Not just one big guess, but three possible answers.
02:00The map wasn't original.
02:01It was Goodwin's version of a version.
02:04Think of it like a photocopy of a blurry memory.
02:06But it had markings, landmarks,
02:08and a vibe that was hard to ignore.
02:10The kind of thing you laugh at
02:12until the real rocks start showing up
02:14exactly where they're supposed to.
02:16She gave the green light,
02:17and the team took that doodle like it was gospel.
02:20Their first stop?
02:22A fat, flat rock with an X carved into it.
02:25Not a small scratch, but a bold, angry X
02:27like someone wanted to shout,
02:29Dig here, you fools!
02:31They found it.
02:32Just laying there in the dirt like it owned the place.
02:35A perfect match to Goodwin's sketch.
02:38They brought out the detectors,
02:39ears perked, hopes high,
02:41the machine hummed and blinked
02:43and gave them nothing.
02:44Not even a bottle cap.
02:46But the leader wasn't moved.
02:47She turned them to the second marker,
02:49one with an X and square grooves.
02:52Again, exactly where the map said.
02:54Again, the scanner cried in silence.
02:57No treasure.
02:58No metal.
02:59But the stones were exactly right.
03:01Landmarks don't lie.
03:03They don't buzz,
03:04but they sure speak
03:05if you listen hard enough.
03:06As you well know,
03:07Fred did not have a metal detector.
03:09He wasn't, you know, a proponent of that.
03:11Then came the kidney bean.
03:13That's not slang.
03:14That's what the map called it.
03:16A rock shaped like a bean,
03:1891 feet inland off a certain road,
03:21the kind of description you'd laugh at
03:22if you didn't actually find it.
03:24But they did.
03:25Not just close.
03:26Spot on.
03:28Bent and bulging like nature
03:29tried to grow a kidney.
03:31Still no beep, no bling,
03:33just more proof that the map
03:35might not be a joke.
03:36Her grin didn't crack.
03:38She pushed forward to the last rock.
03:41This one was described
03:42like it had been struck by the gods,
03:44split down the middle
03:45like a lightning bolt
03:46had torn it apart,
03:47and there it was,
03:49in all its broken glory,
03:50cracked clean,
03:51brutal and obvious.
03:53The detector twitched.
03:55Then it sang,
03:55deep vibration,
03:57steady rhythm,
03:57not a fluke,
03:58not a leaf,
03:59real metal.
04:00Digging began,
04:01and out came a piece of iron,
04:03thick, dark, forged.
04:04Old enough to remember
04:05when pirates were real,
04:07not modern scrap.
04:08This was the kind of metal
04:09you only find in museums
04:11or nightmares.
04:12A tunneling spike, maybe.
04:14A tool meant to go underground
04:15and stay there.
04:17Suddenly, everything lined up.
04:19A split rock,
04:20a forged spike,
04:21a kidney beanstone,
04:23a chiseled X.
04:24She wasn't leading a dig,
04:25she was decoding a puzzle.
04:27No treasure chest yet,
04:28but every clue screamed planning.
04:30Design.
04:31Someone put these things here
04:33for a reason.
04:34They weren't dumped,
04:34they were planted.
04:36This wasn't luck,
04:36it was proof.
04:37Not of gold, maybe,
04:39but of someone trying to hide
04:40or find something long ago.
04:42People have been here,
04:44real ones,
04:45ones who carried tools
04:46and secrets.
04:47Her playbook wasn't about
04:48random holes
04:49or old wives' tales.
04:51She reads the terrain
04:52like a thief reads a safe,
04:54with patience,
04:55suspicion,
04:56and the kind of excitement
04:57you don't admit to.
04:58She made the crew
04:59rethink every past failure,
05:01not because they were wrong,
05:03but because they were blind.
05:05Back at base,
05:05she didn't waste time bragging,
05:07she pointed back at the map.
05:09Every rock had matched,
05:11every mark had been delivered.
05:13The only thing left
05:14was figuring out
05:15what those stones
05:16were pointing to.
05:17Because that iron spike
05:19wasn't just tossed,
05:20it was left,
05:22planted with purpose.
05:23Someone carved that X,
05:25someone picked that rock,
05:27someone dragged a spike
05:29under a stone
05:29and walked away.
05:31They cleared more land,
05:33dug deeper,
05:34scanned again,
05:35around the split rock silence.
05:38No more signals.
05:40But that didn't mean empty.
05:41It meant the clue
05:42had already been found.
05:44Maybe the rocks
05:44weren't pointing to one spot.
05:46Maybe they were a line,
05:48a path,
05:49a silent sentence
05:50written in boulders.
05:51She had them
05:52remeasure everything,
05:53every distance,
05:54every angle.
05:56The map wasn't just a map,
05:57it was math.
05:58I would?
05:59Yes, I would like
06:00that small piece
06:01on every hole.
06:02The kind pirates used
06:03when they didn't want
06:04anyone else to figure it out.
06:06She had the team
06:07triangulate the rocks,
06:08from X to square mark
06:10to bean shaped,
06:11then extend the line
06:12past the split stone.
06:14That's where the real
06:15target might be,
06:16a spot no one had touched,
06:18a patch of land
06:19ignored by every previous dig.
06:21Not because it looked empty,
06:23but because it didn't
06:23look like anything.
06:25She marked the ground,
06:26ordered the machines,
06:28had Billy's crew
06:28stripped the trees back.
06:30The air smelled like
06:31old pine and knew risk.
06:33They dug,
06:34the machines groaned,
06:35dirt flew.
06:37Day one,
06:38nothing.
06:39Day two,
06:40nothing more.
06:41Day three,
06:42a small wooden plank,
06:43rotten but straight,
06:44cut by hand,
06:46buried deep,
06:47then another,
06:47then more.
06:48A wooden tunnel,
06:50a collapsed shaft,
06:51hard to tell,
06:52but it was there.
06:53Timber after timber,
06:55long buried,
06:56well placed.
06:57She stood there,
06:58arms crossed,
06:59watching history come up
07:00splinter by splinter.
07:02They found the spike,
07:03but the ground
07:03wasn't done talking.
07:05Vanessa found the web.
07:07The deeper they went,
07:08the more obvious it got.
07:09This wasn't a natural mess.
07:12Someone had built this,
07:13a structure,
07:14or at least an entrance
07:15to something bigger.
07:16Water started seeping in,
07:18not fast but steady.
07:20They pumped and covered,
07:21keep digging.
07:23Around the tenth foot mark,
07:24a soft clunk,
07:25not rock,
07:26not wood,
07:27something denser.
07:28They cleared it off,
07:30a lid,
07:30flat and round,
07:32stone,
07:32metal.
07:33It didn't budge,
07:34not without help.
07:36Vanessa called for the big tools.
07:38They drilled around it,
07:39tapped the edges,
07:40finally got a corner loose.
07:42Inside,
07:43more darkness,
07:44a shaft,
07:45lined with wood,
07:46dropping deeper.
07:48They couldn't lower a person yet,
07:49too unstable,
07:50but they sent a camera down.
07:52The image flickered,
07:53then focused.
07:54More wood,
07:55a tight tunnel,
07:57a horizontal beam
07:58crossing the frame,
07:59and in the corner,
08:00something glinting,
08:01not glowing,
08:03just catching the light.
08:04Vanessa didn't flinch.
08:06She ordered the team
08:07to map the entire space,
08:08beam by beam,
08:10inch by inch.
08:11By weeks in,
08:12they had a new dig zone,
08:14one not marked
08:14on any previous map,
08:16one tied only to Goodwin's sketch
08:18and Vanessa's gut.
08:19This wasn't another theory.
08:20This was real,
08:22built,
08:22hidden,
08:23and maybe,
08:24just maybe,
08:25filled with what they'd all been chasing.
08:27Vanessa didn't let up.
08:28She pushed for reinforcements,
08:30cross-referencing the Goodwin map
08:32with newer drone scans.
08:33She found odd alignments
08:35between the rocks
08:35and old flood tunnels,
08:37connections no one had thought to check.
08:39The more she matched,
08:41the clearer it became.
08:42The island was wired with intention.
08:45Each stone wasn't just a mark,
08:47it was a node,
08:48a point on the web.
08:50When viewed right,
08:51they created a pattern,
08:53like constellations
08:54that only show up
08:55when the sky tilts.
08:56She brought in surveyors,
08:58mathematicians,
08:59people who could read chaos
09:00and see order.
09:02They found ratios,
09:03repeating distances.
09:04Because we have detected
09:06high gold values in the area?
09:08High gold values.
09:09It wasn't just guesses,
09:11it was geometry.
09:12Secret math,
09:13written in land.
09:15By the time fall rolled around,
09:16Vanessa had redrawn the dig map
09:18three times.
09:19Each time more accurately,
09:21each time sharper.
09:23They found another plank tunnel,
09:25shallower but just as old.
09:27Another signal,
09:29another direction.
09:30No gold yet,
09:31no shiny chest,
09:33but the proof piled up,
09:34layer after layer.
09:36Vanessa didn't need to find treasure
09:37to prove something was hidden,
09:39she already had.
09:40And when the day comes,
09:41they lift that final lid,
09:43it'll be because someone
09:44followed clues the right way,
09:46not because they got lucky.
09:47Meanwhile,
09:48in the North Swamp,
09:49things started getting strange.
09:50Dirt was flying
09:51and chunks of wood
09:52started popping up,
09:53but not the kind you find
09:55lying around after a storm.
09:56These had clean cuts,
09:58sharp edges,
09:59like someone had been slicing
10:00and shaping wood
10:01back when pirates
10:02still used compasses.
10:05The crew leaned in,
10:06squinting at the chips
10:07like they were clues.
10:08And then they hit
10:09something unexpected,
10:11a stake poking right
10:12through an old board.
10:13That wasn't nature
10:14playing tricks.
10:16That was human hands,
10:17centuries old,
10:18leaving behind
10:19something on purpose.
10:21Experts started
10:22tossing out theories.
10:24Laird Niven kept his cool,
10:25but even he looked impressed.
10:27He called in Ian Spooner
10:28to test the wood.
10:30If it came back dated
10:31to the 1500s,
10:32that would match
10:33old tales about explorers
10:34sniffing around Nova Scotia
10:36when maps were still
10:37mostly guesswork.
10:39French,
10:39Portuguese,
10:40English,
10:41all of them poking
10:42around the edges of the world,
10:44maybe even sneaking
10:45onto Oak Island.
10:47Then it got weirder.
10:48More planks turned up,
10:49laid down like someone
10:50built a secret sidewalk
10:52right through the swamp.
10:53This wasn't a bunch
10:54of junk thrown together.
10:56It looked deliberate,
10:57like someone wanted
10:58to move something,
10:59maybe something heavy,
11:01maybe something worth hiding.
11:03Back at the war room,
11:04the vibe shifted
11:05from strategy to story time.
11:07Terry DeVoe from NERA
11:08showed up with a stack
11:09of old research papers
11:10that smelled like
11:12mothballs and conspiracy.
11:14He talked about
11:14William B. Goodwin,
11:15a name that hadn't
11:16made many headlines,
11:18but apparently this guy
11:19was the real deal
11:20back in the day.
11:21Rich, smart,
11:22and just the right amount
11:23of obsessed with treasure.
11:24Terry said he dug
11:25through 26 boxes
11:26of Goodwin's stuff
11:27hidden away in a museum
11:29in Connecticut.
11:30And there it was,
11:31a map.
11:32Not an original,
11:33but a sketch of one
11:34that belonged to Fred Blair,
11:35another name from the island's
11:37long list of treasure hunters.
11:39This map pointed to three spots
11:40on the west side
11:41of the island,
11:42Lot 1 and Lot 21,
11:44both once owned
11:45by the McGinnis family.
11:47The crew didn't need
11:48more convincing.
11:49They rolled out the gear
11:50and got to work.
11:51On Lot 1,
11:51they followed the map's clues
11:53like kids chasing candy.
11:55First stone had an X.
11:56Gary Drayton gave it
11:57the usual scan.
11:59No hits.
12:00Then they found
12:01another marked rock.
12:02Still nothing.
12:03The third time
12:04wasn't the charm either.
12:05No gold, no silver,
12:06not even a rusty nail.
12:08But they weren't done yet.
12:09That map had its hooks in them.
12:11Oh, wow.
12:12That looks like a strap,
12:13doesn't it?
12:13Yeah, it's a strap.
12:15Over at Lot 5,
12:16things heated up.
12:17Fiona Steele,
12:18the archaeologist
12:19with an eye for detail,
12:20pointed out some strange features
12:22near what looked like
12:23an old brick kiln.
12:25Suddenly,
12:25they were pulling up artifacts
12:27that felt like
12:27they belonged in a museum.
12:29Glass shards,
12:30pearlware,
12:31rosehead spikes,
12:32and bricks with glazes
12:34so shiny
12:34they could be jewelry.
12:36Rick Legina mentioned
12:37how strange it was
12:38to find so many bricks,
12:39especially with nobody
12:41ever locating
12:41a full brick building
12:42on the island.
12:44There were rumors
12:44about a brick factory
12:45spotted by Fred Nolan
12:47decades ago.
12:48But no one had bothered
12:49to look.
12:50It was starting to feel
12:51like the island
12:52had been an industrial outpost
12:54hidden under centuries
12:55of dirt.
12:56Gary remembered
12:57they'd found swages
12:58in that same area,
13:00tools used in old mining work.
13:02And nearby,
13:03a huge slab of slate.
13:05Not just any rock.
13:06This thing was carved,
13:08shaped,
13:08and clearly pulled
13:09from the earth
13:09with purpose.
13:10And that type of slate,
13:12only found on the west side
13:13of the island.
13:14If people had been mining
13:15back then,
13:16they were doing more
13:17than looking for gold.
13:18They were building something.
13:20He bought land in New Hampshire
13:22now known as
13:22America's Stonehenge.
13:24He claimed Irish monks
13:25built the structures
13:26before Columbus
13:27ever dreamed of ships.
13:29He rearranged the stones
13:30to match his theories,
13:32ignoring the fact
13:33that some of them
13:33had drill marks
13:34from the 1800s.
13:36Archaeologists
13:37rolled their eyes.
13:38Indigenous groups
13:39were left out
13:40of the story entirely.
13:41But Goodwin had charm.
13:43Enough to get published.
13:45He wrote a book,
13:46gave interviews,
13:47and sold his version
13:47of history
13:48like it was gospel.
13:50His theory spread
13:51even when the facts didn't.
13:53He died in the 1950s,
13:55never having found treasure,
13:56but leaving behind
13:57a trail of clues.
13:59Some real,
14:00some fantasy.
14:01The swamp went quiet,
14:03but the island
14:04still had more to show.
14:05More than gold below.
14:08The island isn't just a mystery.
14:09It's a puzzle built by people
14:11who knew what they were doing.
14:13They didn't just stash something
14:14in the dirt
14:14and hope for the best.
14:16They planned,
14:16they dug,
14:17they built,
14:18and maybe they covered it all up
14:19when the job was done.
14:21That's what makes
14:22this hunt different.
14:23They're not just chasing rumors.
14:25They're uncovering a system,
14:27a method,
14:28a network of effort
14:29and intention.
14:30Vanessa Lucido saw that.
14:32That's why she brought out
14:33the big guns.
14:34Not to poke around,
14:35but to rip into the layers
14:37and get to the truth.
14:38Her strategy wasn't about hope.
14:41It was about action.
14:42Move the earth,
14:43test the soil,
14:44find the pieces
14:44that fit together.
14:46The rest of the crew
14:46could follow her lead
14:48or get out of the way.
14:49Vanessa Lucido
14:50didn't come to Oak Island
14:51to play nice
14:52or follow the old rules.
14:53She showed up
14:54with heavy machines,
14:55a sharp mind,
14:56and zero patience
14:57for legends
14:58that went nowhere.
15:00I'm hoping Rick's right, mate.
15:02This Rick pick one
15:03turns out to be...
15:04While most people
15:06were still stuck chasing shadows
15:07and campfire tales,
15:09Vanessa was dragging out
15:10hard facts,
15:11deep holes,
15:12and clues you couldn't ignore.
15:14That strategy paid off fast.
15:16Buried deep below the surface,
15:18her team hit a jackpot
15:19of old wooden pieces,
15:21perfectly shaped
15:22and clearly not nature's work.
15:24These weren't tree roots.
15:25They were tunnel parts,
15:27walls, beams,
15:28things someone put there
15:29on purpose.
15:30It was like opening
15:31a creepy underground time capsule
15:33made by people
15:33who really wanted
15:34their secrets
15:35to stay hidden.
15:36This is where things
15:37got even juicier.
15:39Vanessa called in
15:40some history buffs
15:41and people who read symbols
15:42like their gossip mags.
15:44What did they find?
15:45Total goosebumps.
15:47Some of those symbols
15:48matched stuff used
15:49by the Freemasons,
15:51the folks who love
15:52compasses and secrets.
15:54Turns out,
15:54they liked building things
15:55with hidden meanings.
15:57And Oak Island
15:58was starting to look
15:58like their dream playground.
16:00More proof
16:01came out of the dirt.
16:02Tools shaped like those
16:04in old Masonic books.
16:06Stones scratched
16:07with secret codes.
16:09Even the layout
16:09of the tunnels.
16:10It copied the steps
16:11people took
16:12during weird old rituals,
16:14going from dark to light
16:15like they were being
16:16tested or changed.
16:17Suddenly,
16:18the island wasn't
16:19just hiding treasure,
16:20it was telling a story.
16:22A deep one.
16:23About secret groups,
16:24ancient smarts
16:25and maybe even beliefs
16:26passed down in stone
16:27instead of books.
16:29Vanessa wasn't
16:30just digging up gold.
16:31She was peeling back
16:32layers of thought,
16:33intention,
16:34and some serious brainpower
16:36from whoever built
16:37all this in the first place.
16:39With every new find,
16:40it became clearer.
16:41Whoever built this place
16:42wasn't just hiding coins.
16:44They were hiding knowledge,
16:46messages,
16:47lessons,
16:47maybe even warnings.
16:49And they used rocks
16:50and tunnels
16:50instead of pens and paper.
16:52And it wasn't over.
16:53Every time her team
16:54drilled deeper,
16:55the story twisted.
16:57One stone led
16:58to another clue.
16:59One chamber pointed
17:00to a symbol.
17:01One tool echoed
17:02a belief system.
17:04Piece by piece,
17:05Oak Island started to speak,
17:06not with treasure maps,
17:07but with blueprints of thought.
17:09And the wood they found?
17:11Some of it came from trees
17:12that weren't native
17:13to the island.
17:14Trees from far off places,
17:16used to line tunnels
17:17and shore up chambers.
17:18That meant one thing.
17:20Whoever did this
17:21had resources.
17:23They weren't just
17:23some lost sailors
17:24or bored locals.
17:26These builders had a plan,
17:27hand tools,
17:28had knowledge,
17:29and had help.
17:29More symbols
17:30came out of the mud.
17:32Circles,
17:32triangles,
17:33stars.
17:34Some carved into beams,
17:35others etched into stones.
17:37And always in places
17:38where light would hit
17:39at just the right moment.
17:41It was like the whole island
17:42was built to glow,
17:43not just to hide.
17:45A stage built in dirt and rock,
17:47waiting for the right audience
17:48to see its show.
17:50Vanessa began mapping everything.
17:52Not just what they found,
17:53but how it all connected.
17:55Each find went on a massive board.
17:58This tunnel pointed here.
18:00That stone aligned there.
18:01This beam matched that carving.
18:04Over time,
18:05the chaos began to form a shape.
18:07Not just a dig site,
18:08a machine.
18:10An ancient machine made of Earth.
18:12She brought in code breakers,
18:14cryptographers,
18:15mathematicians.
18:16They started finding ratios,
18:18patterns,
18:18numbers that lined up
18:20with sacred geometry.
18:21Golden sections,
18:23Fibonacci spirals.
18:25Every single part of the island
18:26was beginning to whisper a design
18:28that felt way too clever
18:29to be random.
18:31Artifacts started popping up too.
18:33Bits of leather,
18:34rusted tools,
18:35scraps of fabric,
18:36fragments of strange parchment
18:38sealed in oil.
18:40Nothing glittery,
18:41but all heavy with meaning.
18:43Some of it is older
18:44than anyone expected.
18:46Some from centuries
18:47when people weren't supposed
18:48to be here yet.
18:50If Oak Island is a machine,
18:51not a mystery.
18:53Who built it?
18:54And why?
