Rick and Marty continue their search for treasure on the enigmatic Oak Island in the Sword Play episode of The Curse of Oak Island season 3. The team is excited to have found a stone structure in Smith's Cove, but they are puzzled about its purpose and the strange objects they found with it.
In Sword Play, Rick and Marty's team finds a possible hidden compartment in the stone structure they located in Smith's Cove. They attempt to excavate the area to gain access to it. They also unearth several iron objects that could be clues to the treasure's location.
In addition to this exciting development, the focus of the episode is on a sword that was found on the island by treasure hunter Fred Nolan. Nolan passed away before he could explore the find. Rick, Marty, and the team are thrilled to be the first ones to examine the sword and study its possible connection to the treasure they are seeking.
The team takes the sword to expert blacksmith Carmen Legge, who is tasked with uncovering its origins and purpose. Legge examines the sword's design and makes some intriguing discoveries. As he works on the sword, Legge shares his knowledge of sword-making with the team.
Meanwhile, the team's excavation efforts in Smith's Cove reveal a ditch that is possibly man-made. This discovery raises many questions about the ditch's purpose and whether it could be part of a larger structure or even a booby trap. The team calls in archaeologist Laird Niven to examine the area further.
Niven's findings are promising as he discovers human activity in the area that dates back to the 1600s. He uncovers more artifacts, including bits of leather that appear to be part of shoes or boots, suggesting that someone was working in the area for an extended period.
As the team works in Smith's Cove, they are also alerted to a storm that is headed their way. The crew rallies to secure the site and protect their equipment from damage. They also plan to find a safe place to house the sword and other artifacts before the storm hits.
Overall, the Sword Play episode is a thrilling installment of The Curse of Oak Island. The team makes significant progress in their excavations and finds intriguing clues that suggest they may be closer than ever to the treasure. The discovery of the sword adds an extra layer of intrigue to the team's quest, as they attempt to unravel the mystery of Oak Island and uncover the secrets that have eluded treasure hunters for centuries.
