Training the Next Generation: Crime Scene Metal Detector Course in New Jersey
Training the Next Generation: Crime Scene Metal Detector Course in New Jersey
I recently had the opportunity to travel to New Jersey to teach a specialized Crime Scene Metal Detector Operations course through TRITECH Forensics, hosted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
The class brought together a dedicated group of professionals—investigators and crime scene technicians from both the prosecutor’s office and surrounding law enforcement agencies. Their shared mission: to sharpen their skills and expand their capabilities in metal detector use at crime scenes.
Over the course of the training, we focused heavily on the practical application of metal detectors for evidence recovery, with a strong emphasis on locating spent shell casings—an often critical piece of evidence in shooting investigations.
From understanding search patterns and detector tones to mastering real-world recovery techniques, participants engaged hands-on in exercises designed to simulate crime scene conditions. By the end of the course, they not only gained new technical skills but also a deeper appreciation for the role metal detecting can play in building stronger, evidence-based cases.
It was an honor to work alongside such motivated professionals and to contribute to the evolving standards of crime scene investigations.

Tacia called me on The Ringfinders web site in distress that she had lost her Grandmothers Wedding ring and Engagement ring, after telling me the story about how she lost them in her back yard I assured her that I would find them. The wedding ring and engagement ring were worn by her Grandmother all her life until she passed away at 98 years old. They both were given to Tacia as a heirloom so she was stressed out that she could not find them in the grass, but my assurance made made her feel better. Once at her home, it took me less than five minutes to find them both, it made her Mothers Day.
