Welcome to TreasureHunting101.com!

I’m Buddy T., the curator and explorer behind this platform, dedicated to the exciting world of metal detecting, treasure hunting and outdoor exploration.

A Life-Long Passion

From a young age, the allure of uncovering hidden treasures and experiencing outdoor adventures has captivated my imagination. This passion has propelled me through a series of exciting journeys, exploring diverse terrains from the rich landscapes of Florida and South Carolina beaches, the fields of Tennessee to the enchanting islands of the Caribbean.

Mentorship with Gary Drayton

After years of doing what most of us do, learning treasure hunting as we go, I had the privilege to refine my metal detecting and treasure hunting skills under the mentorship of Gary Drayton, renowned for his appearances on “The Curse of Oak Island.” Learning from Gary has not only enhanced my technical acumen but also enriched my perspective on the thrilling pursuit of hidden relics and riches. I like to say ” I learned from the best.”
