  • Land/Shallow Water Search

Cost For My Service

I work primarily on a ''Reward Basis'' – if I recover your item, any reward amount is up to you. I may have a "call out" fee to cover expenses depending on the search location, travel requirements, and/or difficulty. We will discuss that when you contact me.

Search Types

I search on beaches and in grass/dirt as long as there is permission from the property owner or park.

Search Locations

Marin County, California and other nearby areas on a case by case basis.

Laura Peters's Bio

I have been metal detecting for over 20 years and I love to help people find their lost items. I enjoy keeping the beach clean and removing hazardous metal trash too. I share my stories and special finds on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/geekybeach/) and on my website (https://thegeekybeach.com ).

Metal detecting is a passion for me and I even teach lessons to beginners. I use high-quality metal detecting equipment and tools, and I am dedicated to helping you find your treasure so it doesn't go to someone else!
