    Isadore- Exclsuive agreements. Pammela has not offically accepted her position. But God has started a wait list for her, in the event that she does. God was not able to give her a firm offer as we were not sure what was going to happen here on earth. We moved her chair to the 16th chappel- she taught course before but did no actual chair existed.

    I find it funny that the lady says if there was treasure I haven’t seen a spec of it as she’s in a 44 room mansion🤣🤣🤣

    That whole first conversation with the note was so scripted. Just make it natural so we don’t cringe. Obv everyone knew it was coordinates and so did the guy.

  18. Carl B on March 5, 2023 at 9:24 pm

    He couldn’t at least walk around the island for a bit to see if there’s any treasure left??

  19. Steve Wiggin on March 5, 2023 at 9:27 pm

    Captain Kidd hid his treasure on the island of Santa Lydia of the west side of Africa.

  20. Luz María on March 5, 2023 at 9:28 pm

    America Unearthed is the best show!!!

  21. TWSTF 8 on March 5, 2023 at 9:28 pm

    Oh, how _convenient!_ 😂 Apparently, Captain Kidd’s treasure was really with us all along lol it was the friends we made along the way!

    That’s got to be the most obtuse way they’ve circumvented the inevitable lack of any satisfactory conclusion, in these episodes that I’ve seen. Usually, we’re just left with an obligatory; "the search goes on!" to hold us over, when they ultimately end up no further than where they started.

    But, I gotta hand it to ’em lol this whole; "as far as I’m concerned, Captain Kidd’s treasure is right here!" is a new one!

    (You’ll have to excuse me, if I’m not terribly impressed. It’s beginning to look like quite the pattern, this series. All hype and no results.)

    And definitely one of the last episodes I waste any more of my time watching, without question. 👎

  22. USMCAirborne Daddy on March 5, 2023 at 9:30 pm

    A privateer was a pirate just legal one, from what I hear

  23. Joe Combs on March 5, 2023 at 9:31 pm

    The documents Captain Kidd insisted would clear his name were never presented at his trial and his accusers & benefactors insisted did not exist.
    But almost 300 years later those very documents were found in a British government depository.

    I read a Captain Kidd adventure story that said he buried his treasure in Louisiana. Under a large stone. At the dividing line between the Seminole and other Indian Tribe Lands. He hunted that area and was friends with the Indians. Not sure the other Tribes name.

  26. Artemis HD on March 5, 2023 at 9:35 pm

    Kidd was innocent

  27. Thomas Surette on March 5, 2023 at 9:35 pm

    I think he is lieing

  28. Warren Rambo Terry on March 5, 2023 at 9:36 pm

    Generational wealth. Something the black man is fighting too have man . They are so far ahead and we are still climbing out of the trenches

  29. Leslie Lutz on March 5, 2023 at 9:37 pm

    I want a shirt like Mr. Croce’s. That’s my conclusion.

  30. A Gauvain on March 5, 2023 at 9:39 pm

    The acting is almost as bad as the scripted scenes.

  31. isaiah Thomas on March 5, 2023 at 9:39 pm

    black beard and captain kidd is from one piece luffy is the goat

  32. Jeremy Bertram on March 5, 2023 at 9:40 pm

    Isn’t oak island near there?

  33. Daveh H on March 5, 2023 at 9:40 pm

    How much you think this guy got paid to travel all over & find nothing?

  34. Michael Stephens on March 5, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    I think it inside the house behind the walls

  35. Janette Brown on March 5, 2023 at 9:43 pm

    Would you believe to the public the man they hung was not captain kid reason others really wanted his treasure. A real man was hung but it was not captain kid.

  36. Runtz Gaming on March 5, 2023 at 9:46 pm

    Kidd was a girl not male 😤😤

  37. MaineOffGrid on March 5, 2023 at 9:46 pm

    As someone who lives in Maine I know a fair amount of state history, including the history that pre-dates statehood in 1820.
    Maine was once part of Massachusetts.
    The Astor family had a huge mansion in Bar Harbor. The Rockefeller family did as well as the DuPont, Vanderbilt, Ford, Morgan, Livingston, and many other ultra wealthy families of the early days.
    There is treasure buried somewhere in that part of the state.

  38. Nicholas Salchert on March 5, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    I’ve seen casual diver channels on YouTube find more treasure than Scott lol

  39. Michael Stephens on March 5, 2023 at 9:50 pm

    I think they didn’t take it back to France I think they broke them up and scatter them around

  40. Jeremy Bertram on March 5, 2023 at 9:52 pm

    It must be very frustrating to look for all these things you look for and never find them. It’s frustrating for me to watch for sure. I keep hoping you’ll find something. I won’t hold my breath though.

  41. JP405 on March 5, 2023 at 9:52 pm

    History isn’t wrong! Mamma said you’re wrong Scott Wolter!

  42. Deborah Ann SIefer on March 5, 2023 at 9:52 pm

    It’s the name Aster or Askey? Because I knew and Askey and they were in real estate and we’re from their fathers and grandfathers clear back in a timeframe. And quite wealthy.

  43. slamhead on March 5, 2023 at 9:57 pm

    The real treasure is that we get to relive their adventures through history.

  44. David Bishop on March 5, 2023 at 9:59 pm

    Who is the narrator? Does he have a speech impediment? He can’t or won’t say Madagascar, he says Mada gasKA. It is driving me batty! Rhotic is one thing but this is something else entirely.

  45. Christopher Norton on March 5, 2023 at 9:59 pm

    Even by History Channel standards, this show has some of the worst-performed acting vignettes in TV history.

  46. Angelsmalice66 on March 5, 2023 at 10:02 pm

  47. Anna Mosier on March 5, 2023 at 10:04 pm

    very good info that we need

  48. MaineOffGrid on March 5, 2023 at 10:08 pm

    Also…this show is so corny. But it’s hard to resist.

  49. CHAMICHYAN on March 5, 2023 at 10:09 pm

    The treasure was stolen from a Armenian ship

  50. Esteban Morales on March 5, 2023 at 10:09 pm

    The navigation technology of the time would not have allowed Kidd to determine precise coordinates. At best it would have put someone within maybe half a mile of the location.
