On the south shore of Nova Scotia lies a tree-covered island that has intrigued treasure hunters for nearly 230 years as it is believed to be hiding undiscovered treasure. The HISTORY Channel’s hit series The Curse of Oak Island, premiering its twelfth season on November 12 at 9/8c, follows Michigan-born brothers Rick and Marty Lagina who use modern technology and American know-how in an effort to solve one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Although the search has been expensive and dangerous, the Laginas hope to avoid the curse long enough to find the treasure before they run out of money... or worse. In the new season, Rick and Marty are back, alongside their talented team, and closer than ever to solving the mystery of Oak Island. The team pinpoints evidence of a large source of precious metals deep within the Money Pit area, and executes a core-drilling operation to zero in on the legendary valuables already discovered during large-scale excavations. Additionally, new discoveries will shed light on the treasure mystery and new secrets will be revealed, corroborating the team’s suspicion that Oak Island has been visited numerous times by medieval European cultures and may contain multiple treasures. Rick Lagina is a retired U.S. postal worker from Northern Michigan who has dreamed of solving the Oak Island mystery since he first read about it in the January 1965 issue of Reader’s Digest at the age of 11. His faith that someone went to great efforts to hide something of incredible value centuries ago on Oak Island has only been strengthened by the many incredible clues he, his brother, Marty and their team have discovered since they took over the treasure hunt in 2006. Marty Lagina is Rick’s younger brother and has shared the dream of solving the Oak Island mystery with him since their adventurous childhood in Northern Michigan. However, as an engineer who owns his own energy business, he’s the self-proclaimed "skeptic" of the two, who continues to ground the operation in facts and hard science.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
