So, there's a show about treasure hunters on the free TV Joe Namath and JJ Walker channel...
 
Boy, are these guys going to feel stupid when they figure out that they built their heavy equipment dock right on top of the secret entrance...

It's been on for.... 80, 90 years?

Or it feels like it.

I watched 1 episode about 2 years ago and I wanted to erase the memory of it with an ice pick through my ear.

Exactly.  All hype, no reward.

One season of Pawn Stars had that, until they found out she did porn too.

I don’t know why anyone would say they didn’t find anything. Didn’t they find a button and a spike and some junk wood scraps?

I watch it. Very little pay off and lots of "that (small, filthy, and corroded/rotted piece of wood/iron/lead) COULD be from a (1520s Spanish galleon, or "treasure chest", Ox cart, barrel, etc.)".
Still watch it anyway. [popcorn] :old:

I don't know what Oak Island is, but it doesn't sound very good from the comments here.

I recently happened to get roped in watching the British show "Time Team" that aired in the 90's and 2000's.  It's on YouTube for free.  Archaeologists go do a dig for three days at various sites in the UK, and usually do find interesting things dating back to the Roman empire or before.

I got started watching Time Team in 2020 while recovering from my multiple shoulder surgeries. I really enjoy it. They are doing some kind of reboot with some of the original cast but I don't think the format is the same as what is available on youtube.

Some episodes of Time Team are really enjoyable.

There's something particularly interesting to me considering that the most legit archeology I'm likely to find anywhere near my house would be Indian arrowheads.

Oh, I don't know about that - ever watch those ghost hunter shows or the series about guys searching for bigfoot? Or that show with phony moonshiners?

And... Six months from now, the reality show Icepick will premier...
 
My idea for a reality show: Take the losers from all the reality shows, and tell them that the winner is going to get a million dollars and their own starring role in a movie.
 
Don't tell 'em anything else. Put 'em on boats, and put them out a hundred yards apart  around the shore line Oak Island (!), with nothing but a ka-bar and a disassembled 1911 with 7 rounds. Whoever gets to the flag in the middle first wins.
 
Dangle it over the pit.
