charles barkhouse joins rick laguina as they meet

with rare coin and artifact expert sandy campbell

in the oak island interpretive center

sandy hey rick to get his analysis of

the gold-colored object found one day

ago by gary drayton it's from the swamp

wow and and deep oh really three or four feet down

well that's cool gary believed that it was gold

you know i i think it's quite yellow but let's

you know let's clean it up let's sure put some

water in here and have a peek i'm curious what

we might see if you're curious we certainly are

an ultrasonic cleaner is a device that works

by creating high frequency pressure in water

to thoroughly but gently clean objects

without causing abrasions or damaging them

you know after sandy's initial impressions he

decides to put it in the ultrasonic cleaner to

pull out any details either on the obverse or

in the reverse of the knob let's take a peek

it was definitely found in a swamp

there's a lot of dirt coming from inside

this is really quite odd

i mean you can tell by the

workmanship it's fair for modern

it could be some kind of a a knob from a

jewel chest in the oak island interpretive

center i think it was quite ornate at one time

rare coin and artifact expert sandy campbell

has just given his opinion that the

gold-colored object found in the swamp

may very well be connected to a chest and perhaps

one that contains something of great value

when you said it was ornate does that mean

that there's something from more high-end

oh i i would think this is more high-end yeah yeah

for sure you know probably somebody with money

it could have been just for

a secret box he it who knows

the question is what was inside it yeah

you know i know what was inside the box

it's funny out in the field that that had the

appearance of gold no this here screams brass

really if it was gold that color would be a higher

carrot it wouldn't be 10 or be like 18 karat or 20

carat it would have a little more weight because

gold is much more dense than than copper and

zinc although you know under a loop it does

have a really you know close resemblance to gold

so sandy affirmed that it was not gold

nor gold-plated but what he did attest to

is the fact that this was an item not of

common usage it was indeed a high-end item

and that it in his belief that it came from a

chest that's interesting but it's not definitive

what is a high-end chest pole doing

three or four feet down in a swamp

certainly an interesting piece i think we've

done as much here you've done as much here as

we possibly can yeah can't say it often enough we

thank you for your assistance well the journey is

really the treasure absolutely but let's not roll

out you know a big bag of gold at some point so

we appreciate the help sandy really do thank you i

appreciate the opportunity see you later take care

you
