Curse of Oak Island

Mud-puppy said:
The real "Curse of Oak Island" is exhibited upon an unsuspecting and hopeful viewership...sitting through a marathon of all past seasons is just plain painful!!

"My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" is way more entertaining and educational Family watching! Never a disappointment! ......You get to see a Chick Fight on every episode! The Wife can learn a few things as well! Like what her role should be in the Family! Specifically, How to focus on taking care of her Man, How to keep a trailer sparkling clean, dressing sharp, some dance moves possibly...

A Gorger guy viewer will learn that he has been a total sucker playing it straight and punching a clock for hourly pay!! A Romny Gyp Gentleman can get out of prison in the morning, without a nickel, or a College education! And with some rudimentary driveway MacAdam skills and a specialized pitch of Door to Door Salesmanship, He is pulling wads of Cash Money and driving a brand NEW F150 by Dinner!:laughing: Thats intriguing and alluring to me!! Hell the whole show is!

Chick fights and making cash money in a hurry with some gravel and top black paint? Being outdoors and RVing and wearing a big gold chain even? Fist fighting, drinking, smoking and possibly marrying a 16yr old virgin who can cook and clean? I've got the motivation and the basic skills covered! Theres NO downside that I can see? Except that I'm already married to a Gorger Girl...

So yeah, at least this show has some merit..It gives me hope to someday replicate what is obviously a lucrative and exciting Lifestyle....Not so much on the "Oaf Island" oafs...Waste of time! Whats a guy learning about how to get rich here?

How many stupid Millionaires are out there willing to pay me to be their Metal Detector Specialist? To find them a "Bobby Dazzler Top Pocket" find once a year? Not many! Lots more gravel driveways need a paintjob obviously...I say Focus on the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves!:laughing:

:laughing::laughing: I did! You see that Yoop! Season 6 opener his eyebrows were all Manscaped and professionally mowed like an Arnold Palmer Golf course!! Plucked and attended to at Kardashian level! Must have set him back a fortune!

So he follows our chatter here! :laughing: The guy was looking a bit bummish and as hairy as a hobbit..On the verge of Bigfootish even....I bet next season He may even lose the womb broom...Who knows what went on below his neck? But it seems he has the finances to get a good full body going over...Total waxing, Bikini and Brazillian treatment?..Possibly even a good hand cut back fur sheep shearing session at the hands of an imported Australian? ..Catch the wool and spin up a 'Rick' sweater to sell on the Disc Channel site??

I mean hey, like any good gardener will pitch to a client on the upsell...I'm here to blow the leaves..you want me to cut back the hydrengras? One thing leads to another..before you know it, you got trimmed!:laughing:

I feel bad for him..he should take note of what happened to Steve Irwin.....the Disc channel just keeps pushing for more interesting and dangerous content to keep their viewership entertained......One minute you are wrestling a 20' crocodile, next thing, the Director says: "Hey, Steve, hows about you hop over the rail and lets get some footage of that innocent stingray!" Then friggin' Boom! :laughing:

Or like what happened to poor Todd Hoffman? Or Dave Turpin? The Disc channel just kept egging them on...They have ruined many a good Life that was best left unnoticed!...Not Todd's, Dave's is what I was thinking about...

...This "Contraption" somebody created hundreds of years ago that IS quite elaborate....
Click to expand...

All the supposed "contraptions" you speak of have been explained away by perfectly normal natural and/or man-made alternatives , That have nothing to do with treasure, conspiracy, pirates, etc....

SoOregonMd said:
... you think it was a total hoax :?: .. just some bored, stoned pilgrims sitting around a campfire thinking "wouldn't it be a funny idea to mess with some peoples heads"....
Click to expand...

Nope. I don't think it's anyone's "hoax" or "lying", etc.... Each person along the daisy chain telephone game , for 150 yrs. has been "quite sincere". Just as in all treasure legend camp-fire ghost stories, no one ever sat down to "plan a hoax". They all started with some real name, date, and event. And from there, the telephone game fever-pitch takes over. And each person along the way is *quite* sincere when they insert their own hypothetical supposition into the mess (which then becomes bullet-proof fact, blah blah)

....Who knows what's really there.......

Curious: Why can't the answer to this be : "Nothing" ?

SoOregonMd said:
...... but one has to believe that "Something" has got to be there....

Curious why something has to be there ? How many dry holes have to be dug before someone sees this ?

Ah come on, didn't y'all watch National Treasure? All you need to do is follow the clues that right out in the open, just need an obscure book to give you the decoder ring and wahla Treasure.

Yup, NO GOOD TREASURE doesn't have, of necessity, a cryptogram treasure map. And NO GOOD TREASURE isn't 100 ft. deep. And NO GOOD TREASURE wouldn't be complete if it wasn't peppered with skeletons, conspiracies, booby-traps, knights templars, etc.... Eh ? :roll:

In fact, ... the more of all those components you add in, then THE MORE IT MUST BE TRUE !!
 
This just in !!!!! It has been reported that Jimmy Hoffa found the Oak Island Treasure, the real killer of JFK and RFK, got info on who Jack The Ripper really was, and has the actual bodies of space aliens who crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico. Now Hoffa is buried somewhere with all that info written on a piece of paper hidden in his vest pocket. All we have to do now is find where Hoffa is buried and we'll have answers to some of the greatest mysteries of all time. Would the Laginas be the ones we should hire to look for Hoffa. They can even bring along that Australian so-called "metal detecting expert" HA HA HA to help find him.

LMAO. You are a close second place to Mud-puppy's creative writing wit :cool:

Not sure. I was just glad it didn't get canned after the first mini-season. The only thing I can imagine the show trying market is getting investors for their treasure hunts. Not like the other ones trying to market metal detectors/detecting. But I'll put my foot in my mouth if they start advertising private flights to space for long range treasure locating in future episodes...

Detecting on the moon?? I'm in!!!
 
And just FYI, Gary will be running the Nokta Invenio this season. We will all be amazed. And we will all have earrings by the end of 2019. Joke's on you, Tom.
 
Curse of oak island.....5 seasons of searching....no finding. :?:

Makes absolutely no sense for a tv show. If I had kept watching it after the first one or two episodes I seen , I would seriously be wishing I had all that time back.

Yeah, I believe your right, but how's this different from 90% of the other @%$& on TV. We dropped satellite Tv about 3 years ago, as I was tired of arguing with the wife about 1200 plus per year to watch tv. So when I gave I I realized I now only have to search 15 air channels to find out their is nothing worth watching versus surfing 150 to get the same results. Look at the time I save. Lol

Actually when I travel for work I will turn the curse on, although I believe the treasure story pretty close to a complete fabrication and the show virtually a hoax.

It's kind of like all star wrestling for detectorist.!

I agree with your point that at least 90% of the other shows on TV are garbage too. If and when a treasure is found on Oak Island, and I doubt any treasure will ever be found, it'll be all over the news, NOT revealed on a crummy TV show.

The only way it would be "interesting" despite not finding anything, is if there were any shred of hope that something existed there. If there was "potential", then sure: Then there's the "thrill of the hunt".

But this is only true when there's a prey to be hunted, in the first place. So for you to say "still interesting", tells me you're probably leaning towards the factuality of the story.

But to those of us who write it off an nonsense, it's not exciting. Like as how exciting it would be to watch a Grizzly Bear hunt in downtown New York, if you know, from the start, that there are simply no Grizzly Bears in New York.

Or, some people enjoy the interaction of people who DO believe that there's something there (other than "normal" drops and things buried by time) and like giggling at the narrator.

Just out of curiosity, the "original" story...of the two boys who "found" the block and tackle on a tree and "saw mysterious lights"...do you believe that happened, or was it more along the lines of two kids out too late one night and got into trouble with their parents so they made up that story?
