Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve always been interested in metal detecting, local history, and finding things that have been lost or forgotten.

I’d highly recommend him and will definitely use him again when needed!” (2026)
“Alex was a huge help today finding my lost keys. I realized I lost them when I was heading to lunch. We dug over 60’ of pipe from 2–12 inches deep. I looked for over 2 hours until I gave up and called Alex! He brought the proper tools, was very communicative, and showed up on time. I’d highly recommend him and will definitely use him again when needed!”

We are overjoyed, thank you, Alex! You're our hero! (2026)
I found Alex on TheRingFinders, and texted him in a panic, trying to find my husband's wedding band outside buried somewhere in the snow.
Alex quickly responded with compassion and expertise. He offered to drive the thirty minutes to us right away, and talked through every step of his process with us. He was very clear, and very kind.
He spent almost an hour in the bitter cold, explaining what he was doing and why. He kept very cool despite how stressed we were. He was able to find our ring and reunite the set!
We are overjoyed, thank you, Alex!
You're our hero!
