Whether it’s a lost wedding ring or an existing buried property marker, I provide careful, systematic searches with professional equipment.
Professionalism and precision across both Nebraska and Iowa.
I work on a Reward Basis for lost-item recovery. Once your item is returned, you decide what the recovery was worth.
I use metal-detection equipment to help identify existing detectable property markers, corner pins, curb stops, and water-valve covers.
Important: This is a detector-assisted identification service only. It is not a land survey, property-boundary determination, or legal certification. For boundary questions or a legal survey, contact a licensed land surveyor.
Complete surface and subsurface cleanup of nails, wire, and scrap metal from farms, yards, and job sites across Nebraska and Iowa.
I take pride in careful, systematic searches for the things that matter to you.
Dedicated to careful recovery work across Nebraska and Iowa.
Hey, I'm Alex. I built Lost Legends around a simple promise: I will search carefully and methodically for what you have lost. Whether it is a luxury ring or an existing buried property marker, I treat every search with respect.

Everything you need to know about professional metal detection and recovery in Nebraska and Iowa.
A rental machine takes time to learn and can be difficult to use effectively in trash-heavy or mineralized soil. Hiring an experienced recovery specialist on a reward basis can be a faster alternative: I bring professional multi-frequency equipment directly to your location and search for the item with you.
I serve all of Nebraska and all of Iowa. Whether you're in Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, Plattsmouth, Sioux City, or anywhere in between, I can travel to you. Same-day availability depends on scheduling and travel distance.
Lost item recovery (rings, jewelry, watches, and similar items) is performed on a reward basis—you decide the value of the recovery once your item is returned.
Property marker identification is $75 per detectable marker. It is not a land survey or legal boundary determination.
Junk metal cleanup is $89 per hour.
No. I use a metal detector to help identify an existing detectable marker only. I do not establish, verify, certify, or determine property boundaries. For a boundary question or legal survey, contact a licensed land surveyor.
I check messages frequently and may be available the same day or next day, including evenings and weekends. High-value and time-sensitive losses receive priority whenever scheduling allows.
Success depends on several factors: how soon you contact me after the loss, the accuracy of the location, and whether the item is still there. A systematic search can still be worthwhile after others have tried.
Yes. I use waterproof equipment and strong magnets for appropriate water recoveries, and I also search in snow and frozen ground across Nebraska and Iowa when conditions allow.
Provide the most accurate location possible, recent photos of the area, and details about when and how the item was lost. Mark the general area if you can.
I use precise probing and low-impact digging techniques. Holes are refilled neatly and turf is replaced whenever conditions allow. Respect for your property and privacy are priorities.
Yes—I am a verified member of The Ring Finders, an international directory of professional metal-detecting recovery specialists.
You pay no recovery reward for an unsuccessful lost-item search, other than any travel fee agreed in advance for a very remote location. I will still give you a report of the search and practical next steps.
Wedding bands, engagement rings, family heirlooms, watches, keys, phones, property markers, survey markers, and larger lost tools or equipment on farms and job sites.
