When it first came out I was a bit intrigued and figured it was gonna be like a mini series that was one season and that they'd find the treasure by the end of it, that was when i was in high school lol. I can't believe it's still going on with the same carrot being dangled in front lol

That's the other part: not only was I bored by the first episode, I saw that (at the time) it had been on for seven years and apparently absolutely nothing had been found. I couldn't figure what the attraction was. I wonder if the people behind it go out for drinks and a laugh, saying "I can't believe we're still getting away with this."

Yea in like 2018 I seen an ad for the show online and decided to see what, if anything, had been updated or found and had I not known it wad a new episode at the time i would've just thought it was one from an earlier season I missed.

Isn't that a bit like asking time team to excavate the main stage at Glastonbury?

I don't know how interesting it even is. Pretty much everything they've found is just stuff you'd find at any site that has been occupied by humans at any point.

Admitedly I watched a few shows as well. But I hate the 4 minutes of footage spread out into a 30 minute show.

This carrot stick is much much older, over 200 years old, i read about it in 5th grade, that is why it is so intriguing even if its nothing. But they are finding some weird bits and pieces for an island in the middle of nowhere canada.
