They have discovered traces of gold and other materials that may indicate past civilizations in the area. The show is currently on its 12th season. So far, Rick and Marty have found mysterious artifacts and hints at a “treasure vault.” However, some Curse Of Oak Island fans on social media think the latest season is nowhere near what the show used to be.

Fans Think The Show Has Reached Its ‘Dark Times’

Some Curse Of Oak Island fans on Reddit discussed why the show may have reached its “dark times.” According to the poster, the season has been exceedingly dull. The Lagina brothers and their crew have been digging throughout the season but still haven’t had a significant discovery. The equipment malfunctions have also caused major setbacks to their goals. Others also feel sad that Billy barely digs anymore.

“Yep. And now we don’t even get to see Billy dig anymore. These are truly dark times..”
“Yeah this season is pretty bad.”
“The only thing that keeps me going is Drunk Island.”
“No next week is going to be the week it’s going to be when they find the treasure Jack will stand up and yell Eureka he’s found it. And then Billy will take a big shit on Nolan’s construction site!”
“With enough skipping of recaps, explaining, crappy animation and anything with jack…..I can normally get an episode finished in about 5 minutes :-)”
“Are you kidding me? I learned that if wood doesn’t float, it’s old. I learned that if something is light it’s old. If something is ‘eavy that’s old too. I learned that a railroad spike could be a nail from a treasure chest lid.”

The Curse Of Oak Island: The Lagina Brothers Finally Using A Submarine?

Despite the doubts in the latest season of Curse Of Oak Island, some fans from a different thread discussed why things may get better soon. This comes after the previous episode hinted at a possible submarine, which will be used for “Aladdin’s Cave.” This could make things easier for Rick and Marty, especially with all the flooding issues they’ve been facing.

“Not a camera, it’s a writer’s cliff hanger creation machine. Developed and only used near the end of an episode so that it guarantees at least one more episode on the topic.”
“They are really gonna get to the bottom of 10X.”
“I won’t hold my breath. It’ll snag on a rock, the cable will break, a maneuvering fan will get clogged with mud, magic cave currents will make it too hard to control and they’ll pull it because if the murk or the alleged 20ftx20ft cave will turn out to be little more than a crawl space.”
“Come on, bring back the scuba diver and let him feel around!”

The 17th episode of The Curse Of Oak Island Season 12 will air on March 25, 2025, on History Channel. If you are looking for more The Curse Of Oak Island news, come back to TV Shows Ace for all your updates.
