We believe in helping landowners become more aware of potential hazards on their property

play areas
pet areas

“The miliary and many local and state police departments use the GA-52Cx to detect buried ordinance and discarded weapons”-Schonstedt instruction manual

“On privately owned land, it is legal to dig for artifacts (including when artifacts have been found by metal detecting) if you have written permission of the landowner” -gastateparks.org

Interactive Learning Games

We bring a variety of metal items to practice locating together, with extra time to scan areas of your choice. This can be especially fun for children. We love meeting new rebarpups!

Hazard Scramble – Put on your sturdy footwear and scan for metal objects like nails that could be a potential hazard. Drop flagging ribbon to mark the area for an adult landowner to investigate. Points will be awarded for successful finds.
Rebar Treasure Hunt – Rebarhound will arrive with at least two magnetic locators and a treasure map, often a deed or plat (map) from public records. Teams will be provided with locators and tape measures in a race to find pipes and rebars. Please note that there are many reasons why a rebar might be in a particular location. Only a licensed surveyor can determine property corners. We are not surveyors. We do not dig or flag anything.

Prices start at $150 to bring multiple magnetic locators to your location for up to two hours. This is a great way to save on shipping, and no security deposit is required.

Affordable Rentals

Our rates start at $25/day with weekly and monthly discounts. *security deposit required

What we don’t do:

We do not survey. Although our locators are the same make and model preferred by surveyors across the USA, we are not surveyors. If you are a survey company in need of an affordable rental program, we would be delighted to be your preferred supplier.
We do not locate utlilities – We recommend calling a utility locator service before digging.
