The show Curse of Oak Island has been chugging along for several years now.  The brothers Marty and Rick Lagina have been featured on the History channel since 2014 and have yet to unearth any real treasure.  They, and their metal detection cohort Gary Drayton have, however, unearthed some really interesting finds using metal detectors.

The Minelab CTX 3030 Metal Detector is a Popular Choice for Serious Metal Detectorists,

Who is Gary Drayton?

One of the most common questions we get nowadays is "What kind of metal detector does Gary Drayton use on The Curse of Oak Island?"  

Let's start first with answering the question, "Who is Gary Drayton?"

Gary Drayton is a modern day treasure hunter born May 30, 1961 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, UK.  He is a self proclaimed "Metal Detecting Ninja".  I would probably have to agree.  Making it to the top in the small world of metal detecting enthusiasts is not an easy task.  Gary has managed to take the sport of metal detecting and make it a career. He is the metal detectorist you see starring on The Curse of Oak Island and now resides in South Florida where he writes books on metal detecting, hosts private metal detecting hunts, and nodoubt scours the beaches of America finding lost treasure.
