The team highlighted the significant impact of COVID-19 on the exploration efforts on Oak Island, noting delays in accessing the site due to border restrictions. The team discussed ongoing investigations, including the exploration of borehole C1, where they obtained compelling video evidence of three gold-colored objects, prompting excitement about potential discoveries. Doug Crowell and Charles Barkhouse reported on their findings related to a possible pine tar kiln dating back to the 16th century, which could be linked to the construction of the Money Pit. The team also reviewed the results of deep scanning and metal detection efforts, revealing numerous targets of interest, including a broken axe and an old coin, which suggested significant human activity in the area. Looking ahead, the team planned to continue their investigations with a focus on the anomalies identified in the swamp and the potential connections to the Money Pit, while also preparing for the arrival of team members post-quarantine to further advance their search for the legendary treasure.
