Fred Stedtler's Bio

I am married, 73 years of age. I have been self employed for 36 years and still work,but consider myself semi-retired.

I have been metal detecting for 13 years and enjoy finding lost items and generally finding items of historic age.

If you have lost an item,I will use all my skills in a sincere,thorough attempt to recover the item.

I have 2 very good detectors, 1 detector is good for up to 10 feet of water immersion,so I can perform shallow water recoveries. If you need help,please contact me .

I look forward to finding what you thought was lost forever.

  • I can’t say enough good things about the experience and how kind Fred is! (2021)

    Item

    Fred came out to my house this afternoon after I had lost my wedding and engagement rings. I had tossed a stick to my dog and felt the rings fly off! Although I though I knew where they might be, roughly, I couldn’t find them. I bought a (cheap) metal detector. No luck. I finally found Fred! He came from New Jersey to my home in Lewisboro, NY (near CT). Although it took a long time, mostly because I was wrong about where they would be, he never gave up! I can’t say enough good things about the experience and how kind Fred is! Thank you so much!
