These Brothers Bought an Island to Look for Treasure Only to Find that It Is Cursed

Meet the Lagina brothers

Rick and Marty Lagina were obsessed with treasure hunts ever since they were kids. They were drawn to tales of adventure and intrigue. In fact, their favorite thing to do was create treasure hunts for each other and they dreamed about becoming treasure hunters.

Back in 1965, an 8-year-old Marty and an 11-year-old Rick picked up an issue of their parent’s Reader’s Digest. That issue had an article on the Oak Island treasure. The boys were immediately fascinated by the mystery and history involved in such treasure and they started to find out everything they could about Oak Island.
