TV Previews The Curse of Oak Island preview: The team finds a gold coin and unravels the mystery of Samuel Ball Tue Apr 20, 2021 at 10:00am ET Is Rick Lagina excited about the gold coin found on Samuel Ball’s property? Pic credit: History This week on Season 8, Episode 23 of The Curse of Oak Island, the team tries to uncover the secrets of Samuel Ball and actually find some treasure in the form of a gold coin. This season on Oak Island is gradually coming to an end now; severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems as though the guys were hampered in what they could achieve this year. The social distancing restrictions certainly ruled out any massive excavations, so we were left with the guys conducting some small-scale jobs around the island.
