Evidence Recovery - club members will assist local police agencies to locate metallic items under the strict supervision of Police Officers, Police Evidence Technicians, Detectives or CSI’s.

Private individuals are welcome contact us to help locate lost metal items on your property or other locations. We do need an approximate area where you think you lost the item. We can locate property stakes, sprinkler heads, keys, and many other objects containing metal.

Contractors, Landscapers, Builders contact us to assist in locating abandoned pipes, survey markers, sprinkler heads, drains, waste cleanouts, and other metallic objects.

Archaeological Recovery - Club members can assist historians, researchers, museum or university personnel in locating archaeological artifacts in situ under the supervision of the site director. Using a metal detector can uncover a wider area of discovery than a traditional pit survey. Contact us for more information on how we can assist in your research.
