So, they’re taking out the north corner of Shaft Six. That’s probably the beams we’re seeing.

STEVE: So, at the bottom of this hole, we should catch part of the tunnel going from Shaft Six to the Money Pit. So we should see a lot of wood.

RICK: That would be the hope, but we’re looking for the… something that was in the tunnel or in the shaft.

STEVE: Yeah.
RICK: Yeah.
STEVE: One coin, two coins, 100 coins. Even part of an authentic chest.
RICK: Anything.

GARY: All that old wood’s still coming up.
TERRY: We are. We’re ready.
RICK: It’s coming. It’s building. Let’s go.
I see no reason not to have a lot of hope today that the narrative is not correct.

RICK: Okay. Who’s in?
ALL: I’m in.
RICK: Got a shovel.
GARY: Yeah.
TERRY: We’re all in.
MARTY: Everybody’s in.

GARY: Ooh, that looks like an old timber, doesn’t it? Some big pieces.
And that one thing is everything to me.

TERRY: Oh, wow. Look at that.
RICK: That’s great.
MARTY: What’s that? A big piece of wood?
It’s adze-cut.

GARY: Oh, look at that. Look at that.
ALEX: Yeah.
GARY: See the line on the edge?
ALEX: Yeah. Like a barrel. Think it might be a barrel?
GARY: Yeah. That is a barrel.
ALEX: Yeah.
TERRY: A barrel, a barrel stave.
GARY: That’s a barrel.
TERRY: Rick, that looks like a barrel stave.
RICK: Yeah. Wow. Wasn’t there like a top of a keg that they grabbed out of the original Money Pit?
RICK: Yeah.
TERRY: Absolutely.

RICK: Well, that’s pretty cool.
TERRY: Absolutely.
RICK: Pretty bloody cool.
Yeah. That fits the narrative perfectly.
Yeah. It wasn’t just food and water in barrels. They used to put coins in barrels.
Yeah. This is good.
Yeah. This is real good.

LEE: Cutting through something hard.
JARED: You’re in something hard?
LEE: It jumped from 130 to 160. The pressures on the oscillators just changed. We’re about at 116 feet with the casing teeth. Pressure is going up.
RICK: What does that mean?
LEE: Well, they’re cutting into something harder. So it could be something we don’t know anything about.

GARY: Going in.
MARTY: Well, that’s looking like the bottom.
GARY: Yeah. Wow, there’s nothing in here, this is quiet. Ugh.
GARY: I think we’ve come to the end of the line.

RICK: That stuff’s so thick. It’s starting to get into… in situ stuff.
TERRY: Definitely there’s more in situ.
RICK: No big chunks that you’d find laying on the bottom.
TERRY: No. Unfortunately, looks like we’re getting out of her.
RICK: Where’s the coinage?
TERRY: Well, it’s certainly not here.
RICK: No. It looks like it’s petering out. Forget me, it’s all about Gary.
TERRY: You know, if he’s not finding it.
RICK: Yep.
TERRY: As far as, uh, geology, yeah, we’re getting into in situ.
RICK: Yeah.
TERRY: And we’re done, I think.
RICK: Yeah, we are.

VANESSA: I did tell Rick earlier that we thought you were cutting through wood and your pressures, and then you said the pressures changed again. So, can you get him up to speed?
LEE: I was cutting about 120, 130, which is pretty low.
VANESSA: So, you think you’re through the wood?
LEE: Yeah, I think we’re through. This is just hard, hard material.
RICK: Yeah.
LEE: It’s dry. It doesn’t– the teeth don’t like that.
RICK: Yeah. I just think we’re in situ soil at this point. So I think we have to call it.
Yeah. There’s no question at this point that we’re on Shaft Six.

Now, what we need to do is properly locate the next can over the tunnel, and at that point, there either is something or there isn’t.
TERRY: Okay.
RICK: All right, so we got one more shot at this area.
MARTY: Right.
RICK: You can’t give up.
TERRY: You just can’t give up.
RICK: No. I’m not giving up.
TERRY: All righty.
RICK: Okay.
MARTY: All right.

RICK: Next one.
TERRY: Thank you, John.

Certainly, and I think all of us, that a significant collapse had happened. In RP-2, we found evidence of different constructs.
You hitch up your boots, you get stuck in—as Gary calls it—and you move forward.

RICK: So I am the bearer of bad news, but I’m also the bearer of potentially fantastic news.
TERRY: Okay. You said fantastic news.
RICK: Yeah.
TERRY: Fantastic news.
RICK: Okay.
TERRY: From my perspective.
RICK: Yeah. (laughs)

RICK: The bad news is, unfortunately, we’re done here.
But for me, we proved the narrative. I don’t see any way to argue that.
It’s what you always say, right?
TERRY: Let’s put an X through something.
RICK: Okay. Let’s put an X through Shaft Six.

RICK: So I’m gonna hazard a guess you want to have one more go at this?
TERRY: I do. I want us to set up over the tunnel.
RICK: It’s imperative.
TERRY: Okay. Anybody disagree?
ALL: Nope.
RICK: We just missed it. (laughing)

If RP-2 partway down the tunnel has evidence of original Money Pit things, but no treasure,
perhaps if we get just one stage closer…
