The Curse of Oak Island team has been packing up the heavy drill and pumping equipment, and it appears that this year’s search is coming to an end. Last month saw a surge in heavy drilling and pumping equipment arrive on Oak Island, which could only mean one thing: a big excavation was underway.

The wait is nearly over. The History Channel has finally officially announced the date for the premiere of The Curse of Oak Island Season 12. Fans have been left out in the cold since the end of Season 11, way back in April, but the famously tight-lipped producers have confirmed what we all suspected: the new season will start in November. We always knew Season 12 of The Curse of Oak Island was in the works because the team has spent all summer working on the island.

The Curse of Oak Island Season 11 was primarily centered around the mysterious garden shaft and the guys’ attempts to excavate it and determine its purpose. Unfortunately, the Fellowship’s efforts to excavate this shaft were beset with setbacks, and at times, it was frankly painful to watch. All work came to a crushing halt after the shaft was flooded toward the end of Season 11. The shaft was deemed unstable, and the whole project was put on the back burner.

The Curse of Oak Island team has been working hard this week with “truck load after truck load” piling over the causeway between the island and the Nova Scotia mainland. Rick and Marty Lagina might be Michigan boys, born and raised, but there was no time to stop and celebrate the US Independence Day yesterday as work continued unabated. Of course, the guys and the many Canadians that make up the Fellowship of the Dig may have taken some time off to celebrate Canada Day on Monday, July 1.
