Cost For My Service
I work on a ''Reward Basis'' that means you pay what you can afford and what it's worth to you, for me to come out and find your lost item.
I have a $30.00 call-out fee to cover my fuel expense, maybe more or less, depending on where you are located (call to discuss)
Search Types
Beaches, parks, lakes & yards... pretty much anywhere I can help you with the use of my metal detector and experience. I can also help you find buried or hidden caches on your property. Call me if you need property markers located.
Search Locations
Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Alameda, San Mateo Counties
Dan Henderson's Bio
I enjoy helping people find lost items with sentimental value and I appreciate the utilitarian nature of our hobby. I've been metal detecting for about 10 years and do all sorts of metal detecting such as beach hunting, relic hunting, and coin shooting, and have helped friends out with their own lost jewelry searches. I live in the Santa Cruz area and work in the South SF Bay area.
