Great experience - Brendan was very accommodating and informative, and we found some really neat stuff. It still would have been fun even if we only found mundane things - there's something about the joy of discovery. We definitely plan on doing this again once our kids are older and able to join us.

This was a one of a kind adventure! Searching for authentic treasure in untouched forest! We loved the time exploring and found tons of cool stuff!!

Metal detecting with Brendan was a blast! We got to learn how use the machines, some of the history, and just find some awesome treasures. I found an old pocket watch, axe head, old rings, and glass bottles. definitely recommend as a fun trip since it's therapeutic to walk and dig while also finding something cool.

We had a great time metal detecting with Brendan. He shared the history of the site we were at and taught us how to use the equipment. We came away with several fun treasures we uncovered. Brendan also shared a great location to walk and view some fantastic volcanic quartz crystals. Overall, this was a great experience and we highly recommend Brendan’s metal detecting experience.

Unique experience that will not disappoint. Very knowledgeable host that provided enough information to implement the detecting without spending too much time on technicalities. Equipment was easy to use and in good condition. Would do it again without hesitation.
