Fans cant stop watching The Curse of Oak Island on The History Channel. The series follows Rick and Marty Lagina as they try to unlock a 200-year-old mystery and discover the treasure thats rumored to be buried on the island. With a combination of cutting edge technology, determination, and ingenuity, the Lagina brothers seem closer than ever to finally finding the buried treasure they seek.

The search so far has been expensive and dangerous plus, theLaginas havent found the treasure trove they know is buried somewhere on OakIsland. But now with the premiere of Season 7, we have so much to look forwardto. I think the audience is going to be amazed anda bit stunned, as we were, by the discoveries, Rick said in the teaser.

And theres one theory about the buried treasure that fans are saying makes a lot of sense. Could it be the missing piece to solve the mystery?

The main issue that prevents the Lagina brothers from finding the treasure is they only have vague theories about where its hidden. If they had a treasure map with an X to mark the exact location to dig, they would have found the hidden riches years ago. But now one researcher and historian says he has an idea how to help them pinpoint where to dig next.

James McQuiston visited the island in June and while he was there, he formulated a very compelling theory about the buried treasure. According to him, the fortune could have been hidden there by the Scots, who arrived to establish a settlement in the 1600s.

In a sense its all circumstantial, but its based on actual documents that still exist, McQuinston explained about his theory. Thats whats different with mine. If someone hand-writes something, who knows when it was actually written? Mine is based on actual documents that exist.

Theres more than one theory about who buried the treasureon Oak Island and why. But McQuinstons idea makes a lot of sense, and he explainshow he was filmed during his June visit to the island for about 10 hours, thoughhes unsure how much of the footage will make it onto Season 7.

And as for his theory? McQuinston is so flattered to beconsidered one of the most plausible suggestions. I was thrilled I made number six. Of course, in my mind, it shouldhave been number one, he said, as reported by usnews.com.

Even though McQuinston doesntknow for sure exactly what will happen during Season 7 of The Curse of OakIsland, hes confident that the Laginas are on the verge of a majordiscovery.

When I was talkingto Rick (Lagina) this year, he said they have data points from two differentsources, and if its what we think they are, youre going to be back up here.Its neat to hear, but nothing like putting me in suspense, McQuinstonsaid.

Does that mean his theoryabout the Scots is right? Well find out soon enough!
