What happened to Craig Tester’s son, Drake Tester?
Introduction
The History Channel has built a reputation for taking us off our sofas and dragging us into the world of intrigue and mystery, treasure hunting, car renovations, and ancient cultures.
We all loved Vikings—the addictive cultural offering that the History Channel served up for a solid seven years.
Then there were Rust Valley Restores, Lost Car Rescue, and Forged in Fire.
But one of our all-time favorite History Channel series has to be The Curse of Oak Island, starring the charismatic and lovable Lagina brothers.
Rick and Marty Lagina, Craig Tester, and the rest of the crew—and their dedication to searching Oak Island for a mysterious buried treasure–have kept audiences enthralled since the show began back in 2014.
Now, the hit History Channel television show is 9 seasons deep and counting.
And while many fans and viewers have a lot of questions, there’s one that keeps coming up: what happened to Craig Tester’s son?
That’s just one of the questions we’ve got the answer to right here—but the answer will break your heart.
What is the Curse of Oak Island?
The Curse of Oak Island is a television series that follows a group of treasure hunters on their quest to uncover gold—or at least some historical artifacts—on Canada’s Oak Island.
The series explores the island’s unique history, discoveries, earlier locations of interest, and the personalities that have undertaken this crazy adventure.
We meet the Lagina brothers—Rick and Marty—who hail from Kingsford, Michigan.

It was the brothers who read about the buried treasure on Oak Island in an old copy of Reader’s Digest magazine.
Eventually, the pair were able to buy a controlling interest in the island.
Prometheus Entertainment reached out to the brothers for a reality show.
Dave Blankenship has appeared regularly in the show, as the last permanent resident of the island.
His father, Dan, also appeared and had been searching for the treasure since the ’60s.
He passed away at 95 years old.
Another cast regular is Craig Tester—mechanical engineer extraordinaire, and close friend of Marty Lagina.
