This treasure is one of the most astonishing ones that have ever been found on this island. It was located in the previous season on Smith’s Cove in a pile of mud and rocks. After doing some test they concluded the cross does not come from North America. After making this discovery, Gary Drayton said: “That’s really old. This is the type of thing I’d expect to find in Europe. When I first saw it I thought, that looks Medieval — a Medieval cross. I mean, this is old. I would say it is somewhere between 1200 and 1600.”

During season 6 while using a metal detector they found a brooch that was made out of gold. This finding made the Lagina brothers get excited that is a chance of finding real treasure on Oak Island.
