Lost Jewelry.
My name is Brian , and my hobby is metal detecting on the weekends in search of old coins. If you have lost a precious ring or the like on your property, I would gladly and FREELY try to recover it. The only thing I ask is that I can keep the old coins that are recovered.... provided it isnt what you are having me search for. :-) Of course I like to share some of the finds with the owners.
I am certified with the TVA Police to play around on TVA land across the state. I always adhere to the Metal Detectors Code Of Ethics. (see below) A small trowel is the only recovery tool I use besides the detector unit. A shovel will NEVER be used. You wont be able to tell Ive been there.
Most times my detector buddy Don (also TVA certified) joins me in hunting for the old coins.
I have been to many houses in the XXXXXXX area in my hobby quest. Just to name a few folks that I have permission to play in their dirt...

I absolutely love the homes and the feel of the area. One day I may own a home there.
Feel free to contact me via the xxxxxxx community site or my email. Thank you and have a great day.

METAL DETECTING CODE OF ETHICS
- Never trespass. Always get permission to traverse private or restricted lands.
- Always respect private property and do no metal detecting without the owner's permission.
- Before searching public sites, always check laws, ordinances or regulations that may govern your hunt.
- Always leave gates as they are found whether open or closed.
- Never do anything that might contaminate wells, creeks or other water supplies.
- Never tamper with signs, maintenance facilities or equipment.
- Never damage or destroy property, buildings or what is left of ghost towns or deserted structures.
- Never spook, taunt, provoke or otherwise disturb wild or domestic animals.
- Never leave litter. Pack out any and all trash or debris you create or find.
- If necessary, clean up after a previous detectorist. Acting in spite of him or even just ignoring his trangressions will only hurt us all in the end.
- Always use the correct digging or probing equipment to make the least intrusion or marks.
- Never throw trash finds back in the hole.
- Leave as little sign of your passing as possible.
- Always fill in your holes, including plowed fields, sand pits, beaches and in water.
- Study, learn, appreciate and protect our heritage of natural resources, wildlife, and private property.
- Be thoughtful, considerate, courteous and respectful of others at all times.
- Protect the metal detecting hobby by being a good will ambassador at all times.
- Report the discovery of any items of possible significant historical value to a local historian or museum in accordance with the latest legislation of your area.
- Report any live ammunition or other potentially lethal or toxic objects you may find to authorities after carefully noting or marking the location.
- Report any criminal activities you see to proper authorities immediately. You are not a "snitch" or a "tattletale". You are a citizen with both rights, privileges AND duties. Respect them as they were hard-earned by many who came before you.
Stay tuned.
