The Curse of Civil War Gold

I have made it thru three episodes, but can't take it anymore. The show tries hard to be like Oak Island, but misses by a wide margin. Unfortunately, it continues all the annoying practices such as lots of repetition, "war room" meetings, grand speculation, and obsession with Knights Templar. In addition, it misses the boat on some of the redeeming value of Oak Island, such as interesting characters, history of the area, and use of other experts and parties to solve problems. Marty and Rick are interesting to watch in using management skills, and interpersonal skills in addressing issues that come up on Oak Island. Civil War Gold is the other extreme, with an an apparent control freak who wants to do everything himself - and thus is not very interesting from any standpoint. The historical topic was what interested me to watch, but I cannot overcome the other negatives to continue.

Maybe they covered this but if someone back in the day intentionally pushed a box car full of gold from a ferry into Lake Michigan why wouldnt they of gone back for it?

Like the show! Just to be clear though, a sinking boxcar does not "explode"... they "implode". One would think the air needs to escape so it goes boom... but the opposite happens. Pressure "crushes" the airspace.

I made it to Season 2 episode 7. The stupidity is just gotten to be too much. The two main guys seem to have an IQ of 60. I could tell them that the secret order of the sky said the sky is purple and they'd be nodding and running to repeat it to everyone.

I think people need to stop taking everything so seriously. Maybe if you want reality go back to watching honey boo boo.
