I am looking for a spot for my friend and I to metal detect. If you own a old home built before 1950 And your curious at all about what may lie beneath your yard or woods or even farm field....Please message me. I am very experienced and When i am finished you can not even tell i was there. I can also recover lost valuables providing they are made from metal. I am fully insured and would love the opportunity to search your yards. Any relics or valuables pertaining to your home will be gladly returned. We are mostly searching for old military buttons and relics...However we do find alot of old coins. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

make sure to repost every 2 or 3 days because the ads move down the page as other people post and only the top 100 stay on the first page.

Are you one of the many unfortunate visitors to the beach who mistakenly wore your valuable jewelry and lost it in the sand or the water? This is a very common scenario that plays out 100's of times a year effecting many tourists and visitors who frequent south florida beaches. I am one of those metal detecting guys you always see on the beach around sundown/nightfall scanning the sand and everyone always comes up to ask, "what are you looking for?". Lots of times, as a joke, I reply "I am looking for landmines" just to see the look on people's faces hehehe.
Anyway, I am an expert metal detectorist with over 10 years experience hunting south florida beaches. I own several top of the line detectors for use on dry land or in the salt water. Most of the hotels on Miami Beach and Ft. Lauderdale have my information and call me when a customer looses a valuable piece of jewelry. Whenever people run up to me at the beach, (and it happens often) and say, "HELP, I lost my engagement ring over here in the sand" I always go and try to help people find their valuables. Sometimes I am successful in helping them and sometimes not, it all depends on if they know where they lost the item. If you are one of these people who recently lost a piece of Jewelry at the beach and you think you know the approximate area where you lost it I may be able to help you recover it for a small fee. Here is the breakdown of what I charge for services;
1st hour of searching: $30.00
2nd hour of searching: $20.00
Anything after two hours: 15.00 per hour.
Once the item has been successfully found: $20.00 on top of the hourly search fee. So for instance, If it takes me an hour of searching and I find your item my services would be $30.00 for the 1st hour of searching + $20.00 for finding the item, total of $50.00. If I search for two hours and don't find your item the fee is $30.00 for the first hour and $20.00 for the second totalling $50.00 for the search. I charge a fee if I find the item or not but I PROMISE you I will search like a crazy person to try and find your lost item as it is in my best interest to help you locate your item.

Most of the time, if you know the area where you lost your item it can be found within a two hour period of time, that is of course if someone else has not already found it or if the area is in fact where the item was lost. I get many people that tell me they lost an item in a specific area but they in fact lost the item in the water or somewhere where they don't remember, this is the worst case scenario for searching for a lost item, so, if you are interested in contacting me for service you need to ask yourself if you are pretty sure you know the approximate area your item was lost.

I am an honest and trustworthy person so you can rest-assured that if I find your item it WILL be returned to you. The only thing I ask (aside payment) is that I am able to take a picture of your item after I find it for my "finds scrapbook".

Feel free to contact me at detectorsalvage at yahoo dot com or use the link below and tell me what you have lost, when you lost it, and if you want to hire me to go and look for it.

I have a 1 million dollar umbrella on my renters policy. And If i were to get injured or injure someone while hunting their property i would be covered.

 

[diggummup]

This is a little off subject but it relates to your last response.There is a little known law here in Fl. that states-I will hold the landowner harmless for any personal injury that may occur during the pursuit of my hobby.,,,,,this knocks any lawsuit out of the issue of land access with the owner.
Florida Recreational Use Statute- Title XXVII Chap.375..2521.Every Fl. detectorist should have this on his/her card.I learned about this right here on this forum.Ivan Salis pointed it out.Maybe there is a similar law in your state?

 

[outraged]

I just recently became a NY Ins agent and i am unaware of a law like that. I will check it out though. So you do not need to sign a hold harmless agreement with them?

 

[diggummup]

There's no need,if they too are aware of the law.Which most of the time they aren't until you bring it to their attention and let them check for themselves.Leave them your card with the statute printed clearly on it and go from there.If they don't believe you tell them to check it out for themselves online and give you a call if they change their mind.Sorry,that's chapter XXVIII not XXVII.Here's the way it is written-



The 2006 Florida Statutes

Title XXVIII
NATURAL RESOURCES; CONSERVATION, RECLAMATION, AND USE Chapter 375
OUTDOOR RECREATION AND CONSERVATION LANDS View Entire Chapter

375.251 Limitation on liability of persons making available to public certain areas for recreational purposes without charge.--

(1) The purpose of this act is to encourage persons to make available to the public land, water areas and park areas for outdoor recreational purposes by limiting their liability to persons going thereon and to third persons who may be damaged by the acts or omissions of persons going thereon.

(2)(a) An owner or lessee who provides the public with a park area or other land for outdoor recreational purposes owes no duty of care to keep that park area or land safe for entry or use by others, or to give warning to persons entering or going on that park area or land of any hazardous conditions, structures, or activities thereon. An owner or lessee who provides the public with a park area or other land for outdoor recreational purposes shall not by providing that park area or land:

1. Be presumed to extend any assurance that such park area or land is safe for any purpose,

2. Incur any duty of care toward a person who goes on that park area or land, or

3. Become liable or responsible for any injury to persons or property caused by the act or omission of a person who goes on that park area or land.

(b) This section shall not apply if there is any charge made or usually made for entering or using such park area or land, or any part thereof, or if any commercial or other activity, whereby profit is derived from the patronage of the general public, is conducted on such park area or land, or any part thereof.

(3)(a) An owner of land or water area leased to the state for outdoor recreational purposes owes no duty of care to keep that land or water area safe for entry or use by others, or to give warning to persons entering or going on that land or water of any hazardous conditions, structures, or activities thereon. An owner who leases land or water area to the state for outdoor recreational purposes shall not by giving such lease:

1. Be presumed to extend any assurance that such land or water area is safe for any purpose,

2. Incur any duty of care toward a person who goes on the leased land or water area, or

3. Become liable or responsible for any injury to persons or property caused by the act or omission of a person who goes on the leased land or water area.

(b) The foregoing applies whether the person going on the leased land or water area is an invitee, licensee, trespasser, or otherwise.

(4) This act does not relieve any person of liability which would otherwise exist for deliberate, willful or malicious injury to persons or property. The provisions hereof shall not be deemed to create or increase the liability of any person.

(5) The term "outdoor recreational purposes" as used in this act shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, camping, picnicking, hiking, pleasure driving, nature study, water skiing, motorcycling, and visiting historical, archaeological, scenic, or scientific sites.

I am fully insured

Could you elaborate on what exactly that means?

I have a 1 million dollar umbrella on my renters policy. And If i were to get injured or injure someone while hunting their property i would be covered.

So that entitles the landowner to be sued by a team of 12 lawyers from your insurance company instead of you directly if his bull thinks you're a heffer while you're kneeling to dig. Hardly a comfort to the landowner to know that you will be covered if injured. Now, if you dig into his waterline in might be good to know you will be good for the repairs. Or for psychologivcal counseling for the traumatized bull.

My insurance fully protects me and the land owner. And how did you know bulls are fond of me?? Who have you been talking to? But again.... i feel that the ins is better to have then not have. It always makes the property owner feel more at ease. And the 12 lawers would only sue him if he were neglegent....In this situation it is more my negligence they would be concerned with.

 

[captain Jack]

only and ins agent would trust insurance companies. ...(just messing with ya)...sort of...

 

[outraged]

I guess it takes an agent to know how to keep them from fu#$$ng you

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

I also have a 1 million dollar umbrella policy, it is cheap and good for protection from lawsuits......
