Emma Culligan From Curse of Oak Island Is An Archaeologist

As season 10 of The Curse of Oak Island is approaching, fans are gifted with a new cast member in the show. Environmentalist and archaeologist, Emma Culligan is all set to enter the show as an expert. 

This is the fact that makes the show more interesting, every season. While in the show, Marty Lagina and treasure hunter Gary Drayton happen to stumble upon a mysterious chunk of metal during the process of metal detection.

The metal seemed to be related to a part of one pistol that they had found a year earlier. To make sure that the metal gets properly examined, the researcher duo decide to hire an expert, archaeologist Emma Culligan. 

She is seen performing a CT scan on the metal that holds some sort of mystery in it. She reveals that the metal is a heavy bunk hook that was attached to a chain and used to haul heavy cargo. At the same time, Emma is given another piece of a strange square metal to examine that appears to be silver. After the CT scan, once again she finds out the piece is made of bronze and high volume of arsenic.
