Ep 2. Always Forward

In the second episode of season 4 of The Curse of Oak Island, titled "Always Forward," the treasure hunters continue their quest to uncover the mysterious secrets of Oak Island. The team is determined to find the fabled treasure that lies buried somewhere on the island, but they first need to unravel the clues left behind by previous treasure hunters.

At the beginning of the episode, viewers witness Rick and Marty Lagina, the brothers leading the treasure hunt, meeting up with Craig Tester and Jack Begley. The four of them are discussing the previous episode’s discovery of a potential tunnel system in the swamp. The team decides to investigate this discovery further in hopes of finding more evidence and clues.

After analyzing current data, the team also decides to check out a different section of the swamp to see if they can find any anomalies. They bring in a high-tech excavator capable of digging more than 14 feet deep, as they believe there might be buried remnants of the original cofferdam they need to locate.

As the episode progresses, we follow as the team uses the latest technology to try and uncover the mysteries of Oak Island. They use a specialized metal detector to survey the area and then dig deep down into the ground to locate any artifacts they may find. The team also brings in divers to explore the depths of the island's surrounding waters.

Throughout the episode, we see the team finding various items that could lead them closer to their treasure, including bits of metal, fiber optic cables, pottery shards, and even an old shoe. However, most of these discoveries do not provide any direct clues, but they do help to provide a better understanding of the island's history.

The four treasure hunters also seek the expertise of Gary Drayton, a renowned metal detectorist, to help them locate more artifacts in the swamp. They follow Drayton's lead, and after a few hours of probing and detecting, they uncover something unexpected that could be a crucial piece of evidence.

As the episode concludes, viewers are also introduced to a new member of the team, Jeff Sullivan, who has joined the treasure hunt as an archaeologist. He will play an essential role in the series as he helps the team interpret any clues they find, hopefully providing more insight into the island's past.

Overall, "Always Forward" is an exciting episode that shows just how far the treasure hunters are willing to go to discover the secrets of Oak Island. The episode is full of suspense, mystery, and anticipation as the team uses the latest technology to uncover any hidden clues and hopefully bring them closer to the ultimate prize.
