What Our Hunters Say

Real stories from real people who found their passion right here in the Valley.

"I walked in completely new to metal detecting and walked out with a perfectly set-up detector and the confidence to go hunt that same afternoon. These folks genuinely care."

M
Miguel R.
Del Rio, TX

"Best selection of coils in the state, hands down. They also repaired my old coil that two other shops said was 'unfixable.' Saved me hundreds on a new detector."

J
James T.

"The group hunts they organize are the highlight of my month. Met so many great people and found more treasure than I ever have on my own. This team is family."
