About

I have been metal detecting for more than 25 years. I wanted to use my hobby to help people find their lost things. It is not always a happy ending, but I have shared some happy endings here on this page.

If you have lost something metal, GIVE ME A CALL!

I can search in shallow water and on land. I cannot search in buildings or houses with a detector, but I can do a visual search.

My coverage area is New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Delaware (NJ, PA & DE).

If you want me to search for something you lost, please see the “Alert! Lost item report!” page or call me and leave a message.

I am a paramedic that is an “adrenaline junkie” I have too many hobbies, according to my wife. They include – metal detecting, golf, tennis, ice & roller hockey, geocaching, and Ironman training.

    1. I got started by searching family yards and play grounds Beaches are one of the easiest places to search.

  1. Hello Dave, My daughter is asking for a metal Detector for her 9th Birthday. Any input on what one I should buy. I don’t care about price as much is she is small and would like her to be able to use it.

  2. Dave is truly an angel sent from heaven.
    I truly thought my grandmother’s cross was history after losing it in the sand after my daughter’s wedding last week.
    I found Dave on Google thinking that it would cost a small fortune to have someone help me look.
    Well persistence and some Divine intervention paid off today.
    We found the cross and my other two medals as well.
    Dave helped me out of the goodness of his heart just cause he’s a great guy.
    I am eternally grateful.
    You ever lose something, don’t lose hope, just call Dave.

  3. I contacted Dave to look for my Grandmothers wedding ring that my mom lost 11 yrs ago. He showed up and is very professional. After 1 hr of nails,screws,and bottle tabs. He was almost done with the front yard and searched a patch of grass right on the edge of the curb. Long behold he found the ring that gave my mom so much heartache for years. Thank You Dave for making her the happiest I have seen her in a long time.
