The objective for the team was to get down to 160 feet and then drill sideways toward the Baby Blob. There, the team leaders believe they should find some decent treasure. However, so much water gushed out, that the workers scrambled to get out of the way. Was it seepage? Or, was it a deliberate effort to prevent people from raiding the treasure?

Disappointed History Channel Viewers

On Twitter (X), people feel sad about the many setbacks the team faces. While the team discovered a copper trinket near Nolan’s Cross, they still haven’t found the burial site of the Ark of the Covenant. So, some fans mocked Marty and Rick Lagina’s efforts:

  • @JustinFoote008: They keep digging holes and pretty soon that island will sink 🙄 They are making more money off tourists than they will from any treasure.
  • @altx0012 @Samsies. I don’t even like the show anymore. But godamn it if I’m gonna not see them find the treasure after investing a decade of my life watching!
  • Wait that show is still on the air. I thought they would have found the treasure but now.
