    Stan is the man! If you're looking for someone to find a lost item, stop searching and call Stan…read more He answered my call immediately, met me at the beach within 15 minutes, and got to work without wasting a second. The search wasn't easy, but Stan never gave up. He methodically worked the area, stayed positive the entire time, and eventually found my ring when I was starting to think it was gone forever. Beyond being an expert with a metal detector, Stan is reliable, professional, kind, and genuinely cares about helping people. He turned what started as a stressful day into one I'll never forget. If you ever lose something valuable, he's the first person you should call. I can't recommend him highly enough. Five stars isn't enough he deserves ten!

    What started as a crazy 25-hour work trip turned into a horrible experience with an amazing ending…read more My bestie and I were sent to Laguna Beach for work, and between our last evening session and dinner, we decided to walk along the beach. We ended up sitting down and getting completely caught up in conversation when suddenly a wave crashed into us, sweeping away all of our belongings -- phones, shoes, purse, everything. All I remember were the screams and us desperately trying to grab whatever we could. When I got back, I realized both of my engagement rings were missing. We went back out to search, but deep down I knew the waves had probably taken them. I think I was still in shock because it didn't really hit me until I got back to my room and had to call my fiancé while crying my eyes out. After calming down, I spoke with the hotel front desk to see if they could help, but unfortunately, I never got any follow-up from them. I started researching online and came across Stan. Honestly, by that point I had lost hope and was very skeptical about having someone else search for them. Stan was incredibly detailed, knowledgeable, and explained how the waves and tides worked. He gave me a timeframe for when he'd come out to search. I watched from my balcony as he worked tirelessly up and down the stretch of beach where I lost them, but after a while I went to sleep knowing I had an early morning ahead of me. Then I got a text saying he had found two rings. Of course, I still couldn't believe it -- I figured lots of people lose jewelry on the beach. The next morning I texted to confirm, and when he called me, he described my exact rings. I was completely speechless. Stan is truly an honest, genuine person, and I cannot thank him enough for what he did. I 100% recommend him to anyone who has lost something valuable.

    I called Steve after my daughter lost her keys at the beach, and I'm glad I did…read more He called me back almost immediately, was incredibly responsive, and took the time to understand the situation. From the first conversation, he was friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. He explained the process clearly, showed up when he said he would, and was very reasonable with his pricing. Finding lost items can be stressful, but Steve made the entire experience simple and reassuring. If you've lost keys, a ring, jewelry, or anything valuable at the beach, I would highly recommend giving him a call. Great service, great communication, and a true professional.

    Steve is truly a lifesaver! And a saver of precious things. I was with a friend throwing a football…read moreon Manhattan Beach recently, and my wedding ring flew off during one of the long passes. We looked all over the area near where we were throwing, but it was nowhere to be found. I found Steve's number online after searching for metal detectors and he got back to me almost immediately. He said he'd absolutely help and arrived promptly. He was totally unfazed by the predicament and got right to work. The guy has a great system, making a grid and thoroughly marking his path. It took a few passes, and he found some other jewelry in the meantime, but right as it was starting to get dark he hit the jackpot and located the ring. I have no doubt he would have searched all night if he needed to. I asked at one point if he ever just has to give up, and he said: "Well no, I couldn't do that." Steve is one-of-a-kind, and I can tell that he genuinely gets joy out of helping people find what they've lost. We need more Steves! Don't hesitate to contact him if you find yourself in a similar bind. You won't regret it.
