Summary

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

Since that fateful day, Oak Island has drawn treasure hunters, engineers, and dreamers from around the world, each convinced they can succeed where countless others have failed. But the island seems to guard its secrets jealously, and those who seek to uncover them find themselves confronting something far more complex and mysterious than they ever imagined…
