I'm watching on Prime/History and am only at the beginning of season 2. It's interesting to see how modern tech is being used now. Years ago I read a book called The Big Dig (published in 1988), which was about the pit etc. But back then they had none of the new equipment, so it was pretty primitive. It's been so long now, I'm not sure which people were involved with the searching. I would guess it was the Blankenships. I don't buy into the Knights Templar theory or that Shakespeare's papers are there. It's just fascinating to think that someone engineered the whole deal, with the booby traps etc. That's what I want to know about.

I really enjoy the show but the commercials are horrible! Same ones over and over and over! I wish there was a way to skip through them, at least when watching the older episodes, so I could catch up faster.
