Curse of Oak Island, Gary Drayton, opportunity for improvement.

[markinswpa]

Well, Hes gotta be at least twice as good as any of us! I've seen him on TV! He's swinging a top shelf Minelab, sporting a diamond earring, and a really cool vest! How many Bobby Dazzlers have YOU found? You gotta cool earring? You gotta cool vest? English accent? None of us can hold a Garrett Carrot to Gary Drayton!
Lord help me I wont even try!


Digger Please! You are constantly bragging about ransacking Coinstar reject trays, You think Drayton would ever stoop that low?

I aint never seen YOU on the TeeVee! Although, I'm thinking now..."The Curse of the Coinstar Cowboys" might be a really cool Disc Channel idea?...Maybe the "Best Preacher Preachoff" kind of deal? Like "Extreme Shoplifters" or "Hoarders" Or, "Dr. Pimple Popper"..."Scrapbooker Scrapoff"? or, "Bait Shop Bullcrappers"? The parameters for a successful Real TV format are set and proven...

Who wants to send a film crew out on a crab boat on the Bering sea? In this kind of weather? How about filming the "Comfortable Climate Clad Stabbers"..? Something we can all relate to? Maybe the "Senior Citizen Survival Dumpster Divers"?. ...Maybe with all the Senior Citizen Survivalist dumpster divers go in completely naked and wallow around in a trash can and eat all sorts of stuff? Like at the Nursing home??....Yeah...I'm on to something super Huge here!

I could go on and on! Theres just no end to the interesting things people get up to and other folks want to watch! How about filming "Scratchoff Superheros"? How about "Gas Pump Grifters"?

How about "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding"? How about nothing but facebook pictorial toiletry postings titled: "Look at the size of THIS Monster"!

And thats Drayton...a colonic Bobby Dazzler scrubbing bubbles bunghole brush besmirching and smearing the sides and choking the pure and porcelain gullet toilet bowl of our Sport?...All for what? Fussing Teevee? Ok..I'll stick to bussing clad and ransacking the Coinstars...The whole deal is circling the bowl!

"Anal Fissure Fixers"! "My 600lb Life" Thats the next big Disc Channel reality show! The future of TeeVee! Just pull the crews off the crab boats and give them some different focal lenses!

Poor old Drayton will be back to selling treasure hunting books or pulling totlot pennies...or dumpster diving for survival, but I got the leg up there...

Mud, thanks I just spit my coffee on my laptop. I think the treasure hunter in us all wants them to find something although if there ever was any treasure there I believe its long gone. As someone here pointed out the only treasure on Oak Island is in the marketing of the show. As for Gary Drayton I am glad to find that I am not the only person to find him annoying, particularly with him having them put Metal Detection Expert every time his name is mentioned. 95% of the time he is pictured with his 3030, not too far of a leap to figure out what he does. When you see the operator in the excavator they don't say heavy equipment operator expert Billy so&so. or Jack Begely Scubbing expert. AS far as what they have found--Probably dropped by people who were sucked in to the myth like most of us have been. I was gonna stay out of this, but that my 2 cents. HH Mark

I detect because it is enjoyable, excitement of finding a relic, coin whatever...


Who determines the criteria for the award of the title "Metal Detecting Expert"?

I've heard the narrator of the show refer to the detectorist as a "Metal Detecting Expert", but haven't heard the man himself say it.

Not saying he hasn't said it, just I haven't witnessed it.

Having said that, perhaps there are few disgruntled members here who are perhaps just a little envious that he is a cast member of a show?

It’s super easy to “pile on”,especially on the web. People LOVE to pile on, it insulates them from the wrath of the crowd, as now they have become one of the crowd. It takes individualism,a person who is relaxed in front of the camera and has a good understanding of what they’re doing to make it on ANY TV show about ANYTHING. The guy throws a pull tab on the ground and he’s Satan? Well...here’s something to ponder. Be a HUNTER and not a VULTURE....success will follow.
Well said Bill.

Gary Drayton has been into metal detecting for a vary long time and has probably forgotten more then most on here ever learned some of his documented finds are legendary,as for the show curse of oak island I like it even though I do believe that if there was ever anything there it is probably long gone,the problem with most people is pure jealousy.

Can anyone on this site doing the bashing honestly look at themselves in the mirror and say if given the opportunity to hunt an area like that they would not jump if they had the means to do so and the opportunity, if your answer is no you would not then you are not a true metal detectorist,if I were ever offered an opportunity to hunt an area like that and I had the means they would not even have to ask me twice I would be there in a heartbeat.
