Lost Item Recovery

Reward Basis Fuel cost covered

I work on a Reward Basis. You pay what it’s worth to you and what you can afford for me to come out and help locate your lost item.

I simply ask that you help cover the fuel cost to come out and search. I’ll confirm expectations clearly before starting.

  • Rings, jewelry, keys, tools, and other valuables
  • Careful digging and clean plugs with minimal turf impact
  • Can also assist with magnet fishing and water recovery when safe and permitted
  • Texting a photo of the area improves odds and speeds things up

Need help finding a property pin, buried marker, metal stake, pipe, or your water shutoff location? I locate and clearly flag the spot.

  • Property pins and corner markers: $75 each
  • Water valve shutoff locating: $99
  • Marked and flagged clearly for your next step

Note: This is not a legal survey. For official boundaries, hire a licensed surveyor.
