Not much is known about Rick Lagina’s personal life, apart from the fact that he worked for the postal service, as he likes to keep things private. Although, thanks to ‘The Curse of Oak Island,’ we now know some interesting bits about his childhood.

Rick Lagina was barely 11 years old when he first came to know about Oak Island from a 1965 issue of the Reader’s Digest, which contained a detailed article about the enigmatic island, its various legends, rumors, discoveries and the ostensible “curse” surrounding it. The article captivated young Rick to such an extent that he grew obsessed with the mystery and dreamt of exploring the island someday.

The fact that he actually did follow his dreams and went ahead and bought more than half of the island for his investigations delineates what a determined and honorable man he is.

Career

After his retirement, Rick Lagina finally found a way to fulfill his dream in 2005 when he came across a newspaper advertisement announcing the island’s sale. Rick had tried to get hold of the island years before this as well and had even gone to meet the famous Oak Island explorer Dan Blankenship, but at that time, things didn’t work out in his favor. In 2005 however, Dan Blankenship, who was in charge of the Oak Island sale, gave preference to the bid placed in by the Lagina brothers owing to their longstanding passion for the island and the hunt, thereby allowing them to buy the island.

They began their hunt in 2006 and also worked to make the island into a more comfortable attraction for tourists. They founded a tour company that helps tourists navigate the island better, visit all the significant sites, like the ‘Money Pit’ and ‘Borehole 10-X’, and makes them familiar with the various tales and legends about the island. The island also has a state of the art museum which houses all the exquisite artifacts, like coins, metal fragments, relics, inscriptions, and even human remains that were discovered on the island.

The Lagina brother’s undying passion and determination caught the attention of the History channel, and they tried to convince Rick Lagina to let them turn their work into an educative TV reality show. After resisting the offer for some time, he finally agreed with the condition that the show will remain as real as possible and would not try to turn things into a theatrical performance. Finally, in 2014, the show premiered on the History Channel and became an instant hit among the audiences making the Lagina brothers overnight stars.

‘The Curse of Oak Island’ explores the enigmatic island with the help of renowned experts and incorporates modern technology in their research.
