Cost For My Service
I do not charge a fee for my searches. I simply enjoy helping people recover their lost items. If I am successful in locating your item, tips are graciously accepted but never required. In some cases, if travel is a significant distance from my location, I may ask for help covering fuel costs. My goal is simple: helping reunite people with the items that mean the most to them.

Land & Shallow Water Searches.
Search Locations
Anderson County, and surrounding areas of TN.
Phillip Mendez's Bio
I have been metal detecting for over 20 years and have developed a passion for helping people recover lost items with sentimental value.
I am proud to be part of The Ring Finders network and currently have 17 successful recoveries and counting. Each search is approached with patience, experience, and a methodical grid search technique to give the best chance of success.
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the relief and excitement when a lost ring or cherished item is found and returned to its owner.
