Cost For My Service

I work on a reward basis and the reward is agreed upon in advance. So, other than a local trip charge of $25 to cover my gas expense, if I'm unable to find what you lost, no matter how many hours I spend looking for it, you won't owe me a thing for my time.

This service applies....to anything on land and up to chest deep water only.

Anything above chest deep water we'll need to use scuba equipment for that service there's a $75 charge to suit up...pay in advance.

I'm originally from Erie, Pennsylvania and moved to Hawaii in 1980 as

an Electronic Warfare Operator Maintenance Technician in the US Navy.

My experience metal detecting is on Oahu in just about every environment

imaginable from local parks and beaches to underwater dive sites. I live 10

minutes from Waikiki.

With a little luck and a blessing I should be able to find your cherished

item.
