The Curse of Oak Island season 8 is officially happening on History. The reality series will continue to follow brothers Marty and Rick Lagina. The two have been searching for speculated treasures and historical artifacts in Oak Island, Atlantic shore of southern Nova Scotia, Canada.

Marty and Rick have been fascinated by the mysteries surrounding the beloved island, which believed to have undiscovered treasures left centuries ago. It remains unknown until now as to who buried these there, but this could be answered if ever the brothers find the vault in The Curse of Oak Island season 8.

The upcoming installment sees the Lagina brothers and their team trying new strategies to go deeper in order to locate the so-called "Money Pit." In season 7, they used big cans to dig over 50 meters deep. However, that wasn't enough as they only bring up metals and woods.

In The Curse of Oak Island season 8, Marty, Rick, and the rest of the team will try to accomplish the task left behind in the previous installment. They plan to push through with the "Big Dig," which means they'll dig deeper and open a wider circular space.

The team believes that the vault containing treasures sunk deeper since it's been a long time already. The underground water may have caused it to move. The upcoming installment is set to go further, but the mission won't be possible using the cans.

The project "Big Dig" could help them mine the undiscovered treasure buried many years ago. The team will be using a solution to freeze the small holes around the spot. Once frozen, they'll take out the dirt in order to see what's down there.

However, some people are expressing their concerns about the project. They claim that the process is dangerous and not environmentally friendly. But, one Reddit user explained that the team will use a plant-based cellulose fiber for the foam and it will be injected on the ground.

As for the filming update of The Curse of Oak Island season 8, residents from the area revealed that production has started. Reportedly, they spotted drones and filming crews, along with machines and trucks. Moreover, cranes and other equipment are on the island.

The activities were said to have begun as early as June. Despite that, there are no new updates regarding The Curse of Oak Island season 8. There's no new about any activities since the second week of September. Also, the official release date remains unknown as of this writing.
