Cache and insurance claim searches, if found, on a pre-negotiated percentage of value.

Primarily West Michigan but will travel wherever needed.
Tom Townsend's Bio
I’ve been finding and returning lost items to their rightful owners since I was 10 years old. I even received an Outstanding Citizen Award from the local police department for returning the $800+ dollars I’d found that belonged to a local business owner who’d dropped the day’s business receipts while getting out of his car. I’ve become very proficient over the last couple years with the Garrett AT Pro metal detector and look forward to helping you find your lost treasure with it.
