The Curse of Oak Island: "Peculiar" Lead Token Uncovered from Lot 5 (Season 10)

I learned about Oak Island that I didn't know about. Thank you.

❤Good morning Miss Tania Roma

Or it's from the time the Phoenicians came and pulled copper ore from the great lakes islands with the copper mines and all other islands

That’s a toy.

Does it seem like if they was gonna pick a place to store all this booty, why would they have done it where people could see where? It’s so illogical

fraud

Treasure spill

Look for warf

I think I finally figured out what that led thing is. It's a medieval toy, called a whirligig. You're supposed to put a string through both holes wind it up and as it unwinds it makes a whirling sound.

Its a necklace pendant/charm/etc.

Is that a picture of Petra on that coin

It‘s time that Gary and Jack get their own show 😂😂😂😂

OK👍

When are this years show coming on?

That is why they have Gary.

Jack is not a beast that Gary called him, but a very strong young man... He is lucky to be working with Jack😊

Real 💩

That is definitely not a trade token. It's called a Whizzer. It's a smashed musked ball that a soldier put 2 holes in to run string through so he could spin it. If you don't believe me, Google it. They put notches in them to make them whirl and whizz. They date back several hundred years through various armies. Here in the States, dozens of them have been found in forts all across the country. With documentation to prove so.

I'm glad that the interest in the unique history of this island has been able to produce enough revenue to continue. The depth and profound nature of that place needs to be known

Looks like a Communion token

Gary and Jack hunt for treasure and while doing so, they are a great pair and certainly funny with their enthusiasm. They are the best!!!!?

The Casa Romuli ( Romulus Hut) is featured on one of the coins depicted.

I. Love when Gary and Jack work together

I am grateful for all the knowledge and the great responsibility of being the chosen one for custody of the island

Watch carefully when he is using the hand detector he drops a coin looking object in and picks it up again

Lead button or modified into a button. Buttons are often very fancy. These sorts of artifacts probably did come from Europe and are potentially very old. But this doesn't mean Romans were marching around Oak Island. The smaller artifacts probably came in as ballast for ships. Some ballast was heavy rounded stones, some it was in the form of gravel, much like the gravel you find near London. Go mudlarking in London and you find everything from Stone age, Roman, Bronze Age, modern junk in the gravels. In essence, the artifacts could be accidentals dug up in gravels and carried as ship ballast. They have found a number of artifacts like these at Jamestown as well. A worked, roman stone and even an ancient stone tool from France.

It is a two holed wizzer. Thay are sometimes found on historic homesite in the mldwest.U.S.A. children would put a string threw the two holes and spin the lead disc.

A tag on a bag of money. Used for shipping to tell who the owner was. Weren't these kind of tags used when Spain shipped gems and other things from Aztec and inca gold?

I’ve watched every episode you guys have made but your thumbnail for this video is clickbait.

Those hung around your neck with string . The holes.😉shhhh

Digging with tennis shoes, 😄 he's a rookie 🤯

That whole island is being covered by dropped H's

If this token dates back from the Roman era, it makes you wonder, well, did people somehow (perhaps) managed to travel to that part of the world much much earlier than Columbus? And if they did, how many times did they travel back and forth to that place and for what purposes(s)?

The two holes remind me of an early button

The lead piece is a whizzer. I've dug several 18th century examples.

They are calling it lead but the Italian coin expert says it is copper. ???????

It's a whizzer (or whirligig). It's a toy that is found at colonial sites in the US. The holes are for string. The 'teeth' produce a whirring sound when the string is wound tight and then pulled apart.

I think we need another 10 minute moment of silence and reflection here. I mean come on guys, WERE TALKING LED! Real led? Here? On Oak Island?
CAN WE GET A MOMENT OF SILENCE AND REFLECTION ON THIS ONE GUY'S? Can we just do that? THANK YOU! Jiminy Christmas!

another useless item ...... dig a dam hole and get to the big money box

More clickbait from broke island

Do you know if you guys really want answers Why don’t you just hate yourself one of the best psychics in the world. She can come on the property see if she can see anything during the construction of the money pit and where the real money pit really is if you’re truly on the money pit and maybe tell you how to turn off the water so you can pump out the mine. That’s what I would do.

Question pourquoi Gary lace t il la pièce roman dans le trou avant de la prendre regarder attentivement

Not sure if it’s just the cameraman not catching it, but I’m not sure we’d ever see Rick smile if Gary wasn’t there. He always looks so serious. But on that rare occasion the camera catches Rick smiling I’ll point to the screen and say, “there it is.” Not if but when they do find that gold, I’ll bet he won’t stop smiling.😊 I’d love to see an “after” movie with each member telling parts of the whole story in their own words, you know, not scripted from the beginning of their search to finding the treasure. I hope I live to see that.

I really enjoy listening to Emma..and I admire her interest in the field she is in........so fascinating and educational....love it.

Look under the trees

What a coincidence: Stonea (in Cambridgeshire, where they found the other Roman lead token) means Stone Island. The whole region was, until about 1800, swampy marsh with a few isolated bumps of high ground and notorious as a refuge for ne'er-do-wells; Stonea was one such bump, which is why the ancient Britons built ramparts there long before the Romans.

So at least the locals would've been quite at home in the swamp!

Best comedy on TV ever . 10 years of nothing .

Great finds but, I can't find any information on the thumbnail

I am totally awed by all of their discoveries and the unfolding of this incredible story of oak island! I have been watching since season 1 episode 1 and will continue to feel like part of the brotherhood and see this through to the end and "BRAVO TANGO!" LOVE YOU GUYS!
