Ep176: Treasure Hunters of the Central Coast
April 17, 2025 · 27 min

When I put the call out for unique local legends, I didn’t expect a crew of metal detectorists to roll into the van, but that’s exactly what happened. Matt, Dave and Scott are part of a quiet underground of people who spend their time (and a fair bit of money) helping strangers recover lost wedding rings, car keys, and even pendants holding a loved one’s ashes. All for free.

In this episode:

• How their online community has grown to 65,000 members

• Emotional recoveries from beaches, backyards and bush tracks

• Their wildest finds, from Tiffany rings to 1930s radio dials

• Why they never charge, even when people insist

This one’s full of heart and good feels. Enjoy!
