It's been real, thanks Blogger! Hey thanks for checking out this page! After 10 years of posting here and over 600 posts, it's time to try something new at over possibly greener pastures. Which means you can now find me and all my random adventuring ways over at One Man Many Plans . 

The curse of Oak Island - Season 9 predictions

I'm on holidays right now which means ample time to catch up on a few shows, like the fantastically slow (dragged out by Captain Repeater aka the voice over guy) The Curse Of Oak Island. And after finishing series 8, I have a few predictions for season 9.

Actually better than that, I've worked out the entire next series on an episode by episode basis.. (No this isn't turning into a Curse of Oak Island blog as much of a fan as I am..)

OAK ISLAND SEASON 9 - WHAT'S THE PLAN?


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND - S09E01 'We need a new plan'

Ready for a new season The Curse of Oak Island 2022 (and making sure they're well across the latest covid restrictions including keeping any bore holes at least 1.5 meters apart) the team gather in the War Room to plan their latest attack. Marty wants to put a bore hole in the Samuel Ball lot. Rick wants to put a bore hole in Smith's Cove. Jack Begley wants to carbon date Gary Drayton. Laird suggests using explosives to create a new Money Pit. The voiceover guy repeats everything and then bolts on a question mark at the end. The goal this season is ultimately discover more wood and get closer to a major discovery that will drag out the show for another five years at least.


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND S09E02 - 'Cryptic Meg'

Before the team even have the chance to throw diver Tony Sampson down a flooded hole with zero visibility, another expert chimes in to add to the overflowing theory pile. Musicologist Meg Damnit has been analysing Elvis albums played backwards and believes there's hidden clues in the messages revealed. In one of the Greatest Hits albums she believes if you play Jailhouse Rock backwards, there's a clear message that something of great importance is hidden under a rock somewhere on Oak Island. She puts a copy of the album on a map, draws a circle around it and theorises that the stones they seek are somewhere within that circle. The team rush to it and start pinpointing which of the million rocks on the island it could be.


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND S09E03 - 'Where is Oak Island exactly?'

Metal detector expert Gary Drayton and his team of shovel wielding assistants patrol the edges of the swamp for possible finds and lands one within minutes of the cameras turning up, digging out what he believes is a) old and b) almost a top pocket find (almost because it's too big to fit in there.) He believes its the bumper bar to a Ford Falcon and after deciding that's it for the days work, rings anyone within range to look, grunt and tell him he's done well. Marty and Rick's son flip a coin to see who has to drag the bumper to the Blacksmith all those miles away, just so he can confirm that yes it is a bumper and no, it wasn't part of a ship.

The archaeologists believe they've found yet another road until Jack Begley points out it's the one they drove in on to get to the island. Debate rages wether or not they should stick a borehole in it.


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND S09E04 - 'Two eggs please'

After little luck drilling where the team believes the money pit was originally dug, the drill team moves towards the water and puts a borehole directly into the ocean. Amazingly the voice over guy seems surprised when they open up the dig bag to discover both fish and seaweed in it. Rick immediately sends the fish off to be tested just in case it too belonged to the Knights Templar.

Craig Tester finds a large boulder when searching a nearby forest for old wood and after using a drone expert to get an aerial view to discover others of its kind, believes he has discovered the 'Moudly banana', a series of points where ancient Roman plumbing is believed to be buried.


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND - S09E05 'Oak Island Blog Tours Interpretative Centre'

After draining another section of the swamp and not finding further evidence of the burnt ship, the team does discover quite a few E.T Atari cartridges which the searchers back in the 80s may have played. An expert who only appears via video call for five minutes the entire season theorises that E.T was indeed a Freemason and possibly used Oak Island to bury various cheeses. As the expert lists the possible cheeses, the team in the War Room look astonished and Rick proclaims this could turn the history of the island completely on its head.

Sifting through the tailings of Bore Hole 'Oh God 7' Charles Barkhouse finds an amazing discovery - a scrap of leather that looks to be part of a whip. The leather expert in town reveals that given the length, dimensions and treatment of the leather, the whip would have been for entertainment rather than punishment as the sailors back in 880bc needed something to do to pass the time.


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND - S09E06 'How good was that game last night?'

Metal Detector expert Gary Dreyton and assistant Peter Fornetti make a stunning find - happy hour at the Gilded Dog pub back on the mainland. They communicate this to the team at the War Room who join them there and marvel at the range of beers on tap. After five pints Charles agrees that the Spanish Freemason Gold Diggers of 1336 probably drank beer while Rick and Marty compare the size of pottery pieces they found at the local flea markets.

The next day more bore holing is completed and the team are stunned when nothing but dirt is revealed. Not even a square nail or evidence of a Billy Joel album. Laird believes this may have been how former soldier and land owner Samuel Ball made his vast fortune, selling excess fill on Craigslist.

THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND S09E07 - 'High ranking Oak Island Keyword'

Since it's been a few episodes since we had a map overlay, Max Bile of online university Bargaindegrees.com provides one for the War Room meeting. Starting from the top most stone that makes up Nolan's cross, he draws a straight line from it to the town of Colac, Victoria, Australia. From there a line is drawn to Battle Creek Michigan and then back to the cross. Max describes that the triangle he's come up with is 'pretty awful looking really' and Rick gives a rousing speech thanking him for his great efforts.

Gary Dreyton uses his metal detector on the latest hole somewhere on the island and discovers 34 buttons. He believes that like bottlecaps in the Fallout video game series, the native Nigerians who once called Oak Island home possibly used the buttons as currency. Jack looks stupidly happy after hearing that fact.

THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND - S09E08 'Five cougars thanks.'

The results are in! After working tirelessly for weeks, a crack team of university boffins have worked out the word Gary Drayton was trying to use when describing a dug up spoon head to be made out of 'Poo Tah mate!' was actually meant to be 'Pewter.'

A strange metal object is discovered at just four feet into the latest bore hole and after a long trip back to Blacksmith Carmen Legge to help identify it, he reveals it to be a fork, possibly from a ship carrying forks back as far as the 1600s.

Diver Tony Sampson shows up to explain he hasn't dived aimlessly into anything of late and the team work out which waterlogged tunnel system to try and squeeze him into.

THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND S09E09 'Call me, call me now.'

Keen to try the latest discovery technology, the fellowship of the dig agree to test 'Ferrit explosiveology' where trained ferrits relase small packages of c4 into the deepest levels of underground passageways which are then set off once the ferrets are clear of the blast radius. Scanning after the dust has settled reveals a 13% chance of garnets but since it isn't old wood, the team label this as a failure.

Gary explains that ferrits are non ferous and he has to use a special detector to find one, also suggesting they're not top pocket finds even if they were made of pootah.

30 feet away from the shoreline Tony Sampson discovers some rocks at the bottom of the ocean and something that makes his metal detector go off the scale. What it is will have to wait until they can get a bore hole in there.

THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND S09E10 - 'With a dash of tobasco sauce'

Season 9 of the Curse of Oak Island continues as heavy rain threatens to fill up the swamp again but luckily Oak Island Historian Doug Crowell managed to drag a few tarps over the uncovered road sections. Running a detector over the mud the next day, metal detector expert Gary Drayton manages to uncover more bits of metal in the space of one episode than the team from Gold Rush managed to dig out in one season. Strangely this time they mostly consist of door knobs and even more ox shoes.

Billy Gerhardt digs a big hole near Smith's Cove with his digger, Tony Sampson discovers the visibility down there is not great at all although he swears he sees something shiny in one of the walls, while Dan Henskee recalls digging a lot of holes back in the 70s. 

Alex Lagina is tasked with taking the latest door knob discovery to Blacksmith Carmen Legge to confirm that yes, the door knob possibly opened up a door on a ship back in the 1980s but discovers himself that he's left it back in the War Room this whole time. 


THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND - S09E11 'Smoke em if you got em'

Winter is coming and the team prepares for the White Walkers. No wait, sorry, wrong show. There's just enough time for brushing a little bit more dirt off a few stones revealing more road going nowhere, wedge a casing into a borehole somehow and fish Tony Sampson out of flooded tunnel before they forget he's there and all before the cold temperatures make it too cold for Gary to go detecting. 

Just as they're about to debrief on the year that was, the voice over guy spends the next 15 minutes questioning everything on the shopping list his wife has just passed us and wonders out loud if peanut butter and white bread holds the answers the team desperately seek.

Jack Begley gives an emotional speech, Rick and Marty feel they're just a heartbeat away from digging up Jimmy Hoffa, everyone takes home an ox shoe and plans are made to use more ferrets next year.

Oh and we still haven't actually got into that curse that the vo guy keeps spewing out at the start of every episode yet have we? Maybe I've missed it. Maybe we'll actually get to that in the 10th season..

(Hopefully more Bobby Dazzlers too!)

GOLD RUSH SOUTH AMERICA - REPLACE BEARS WITH REBELS

Todd and crew decide to head south for the Gold winter and we speculate on the many many things that will attempt to kill them. The list is long and armed with AK-47s!


SNOW PIERCER - ALL ABOARD THE HOOCH TANK!

There's plenty to drink, plenty to smoke (if you're the boss) but after seven years of going around in circles we're a little worried that sooner or later there won't be enough literal arms to go round..
