  • Land/Shallow Water Search

Cost For My Service

$60 call-out fee covers my travel to you. If I find your item, the recovery is on a reward basis: you pay whatever it's worth to you and what you can afford, and we agree on that number before I head out.

Property pins and iron markers: $100 per marker for up to four corners on a typical residential lot. Marker location only; this is not a land survey.

Buried water shut-off valves and curb stops: $100.

Insurance claims and estate searches: by quote.

Cash, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay.

Search Types

Rings, jewelry, keys, phones, and anything else metal in lawns, beach, parks, playing fields, school grounds, woods, lake beaches, and water to knee depth. Snow searches welcome! Call before it melts or gets plowed. Property pins, iron markers, and buried shut-off valves. Insurance and estate searches by arrangement.

Search Locations

Based in Hackettstown, NJ. Recovery in all NJ counties north of Mercer and Monmouth counties.

Kevin Lisankie's Bio

I've spent the last 12 years detecting the tri-state area, and I know how rings leave hands around here: cold fingers, a thrown ball, a garden glove, a dive off a dock.

I run a Minelab Manticore detector and will be there same-day whenever I can, working land, snow, and water to waist depth. If you already tried a rented detector, or another searcher came up empty, call anyway. Lost it on your own property years ago? Those come up too! Every search is confidential.
