I love a mystery as the titular assertion would suggest, but this one is just too old to solve, I feel. They've done a lot of work amounting to bumpkiss as far as I'm concerned. However, the author, Sullivan, who has come to the game late, is the wisest; without spending any money, he has steadfastly learned something of the history, genealogy and habitation of the island, which is where these two brothers should've started.
On a different note, I find it hard to believe anyone, even with slave labor, dug a hole over 100 feet just to bury a treasure, then riddled the hole with traps leading to sea water; but if they did, wouldn't the ensuing years worsen the condition of the "vaults" and "traps". I'm not buying it.
Anyway, the show is what it is. What I find irritating is the narration. Every time there is some infinitesimal discovery, we get this incredulous narrator doubling down on what we already know from having just listened to the players. I've seen there are drinking games revolving around this show; one should include taking a shot every time the narrator switches to his incredulous voice. *VERY ANNOYING*
Good luck to the crew--in finding treasure and keeping an audience through their journey.
