They're never going to find anything, at least not 'this' season.

I don’t really understand this sentiment. There has never been a guarantee they would find anything at all, much less actual treasure. I cannot think of another search or mystery like this that has ever been so thoroughly pursued in both time and money. They are genuinely doing their best to uncover the truth and I can’t get mad or upset about the results given it’s not really up to them if they find treasure. If they can at least uncover more evidence and shed more light on the who, the when, and the why that will still be pretty cool to me.

That said, they are finding way more than I think people would have guessed and in my opinion are proving that at some point in the distant past something occurred there in secret involving treasure of some kind. And I think that’s pretty neat given these types of mysteries almost never get even this amount of evidence.

Unfortunately I still don’t think they’ll find any sort of large treasure in the traditional sense. I think there was something there at some point and it got discovered by different people such as Samuel Ball and the original searchers. Don’t forget that one of the descendants of the original searchers has a very crude looking solid gold cross. Her ancestor and the others probably found something and over the decades it disappeared for the most part.

Now in this episode tonight and the teaser for next week shows quite the construction of wood in Smith’s cove. Given what appears to be a large project in the past it’s no surprise someone might have lost their cross while building it.
