No call-out fee for police, fire, or EMS personnel. The price for an insurance or estate search would be negotiable.

Doug Hardy's Bio
I’ve been in North Carolina for about 45 years (so far) and my wife and I have been married for more than 30 of those years. I’ve been detecting for about 7 years now and for 5 years, I was president of our local metal detecting club, Triangle Relic Recovery. I’m a retired IT director and try to take advantage of my retired status to get out and detect whenever I can. I’ve recovered all sorts of jewelry items for people and love being able to reconnect people with their lost items.
If you’re curious about what’s below the surface on your property. All properties have a history, so let’s figure out yours! If you’ve lost an item, give me a call – I’ll put in the time and effort to recover it for you.
