Cost For My Service

I work on a ''Reward Basis'' that means you pay what it's worth to you and what you can afford, for me to come out and find your lost item.

I have a $25 call-out fee to cover my fuel expense. Maybe more or less depending on where you are located (Call to discuss).

Search Types

I can do parks, fields, beaches, shallow water, etc. My detector can handle pretty much any conditions.

Search Locations

SW Washington = Vancouver, Ridgefield, Battleground, Salmon Creek, Camas.. I live on the border to Portland, Oregon and I detect there too.

Paul Tanca's Bio

Hello, I'm Paul Tanca from Ridgefield, Washington—a devoted father, husband, and pastor. I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest for 30 years and am quite familiar with our terrain. My wife and I share a joyful hobby in metal detecting together, but our true passion lies in serving others and bringing blessings to those in need. Above all, I cherish my relationship with God and His Word, guiding me to approach every search with unwavering honesty and integrity.

“Equipped with a Minelab Manticore and a Nokta Legend, my wife and I hunt on land, beaches, and in shallow water (4 feet and less). I primarily cover the Vancouver/Portland area but I can accommodate searches further away in some circumstances."

If you've lost a cherished item, act quickly: Snap photos of the area, drop a pin on your phone to mark the spot, and contact me right away—ideally before leaving the scene. The more details you share, the greater our chances of reuniting you with your treasure.

Please call or text (360) 901-0257 to set up time for me to come out and hopefully I can put a smile on your face.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,

for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Proverbs 3:13-15
