Do this first
- Stop searching. Every pass pushes the item deeper into the turf or sand.
- Don't mow, rake, or blow leaves in the area.
- Mark the spot where you think it happened, even roughly.
- Note what you were doing when it came off — throwing a ball, toweling off, taking off gloves.
Then call or text. The sooner I search, the better.
What I find with a metal detector
- Rings, bracelets, earrings, and pendants — gold, silver, platinum
- Keys, key fobs, and car keys
- Property pins and boundary markers hidden under lawn or brush
- Watches, phones, hearing aids, and other small metal items
Lawns, gardens, leaf piles, gravel driveways, wooded lots, sand beaches, and freshwater lakes and streams up to knee depth.
Where I work: Northern New Jersey
All counties north of Mercer and Monmouth — Warren, Morris, Sussex, Hunterdon, Somerset, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Union, Hudson, and Middlesex. Based near Hackettstown; towns I reach quickly include Washington, Long Valley, Chester, Mendham, Budd Lake, Mount Olive, Flanders, Blairstown, Belvidere, Newton, Sparta, Hopatcong, Clinton, Flemington, Morristown, Denville, and Parsippany.
How it works
- You call or text. Tell me what you lost, where, and when. A few questions is all it takes to plan the search.
- We set a time. Often the same day. You or someone who knows the spot should be there to point me to it.
- I search. A tight grid of the area with one of the most sensitive metal detectors made.
- You get it back. When I find it, it's yours. The ground is left as I found it.
Rates depend on the search. We'll agree on a price before I come out.
