Ring & valuables recovery
Document the last known time and location before anything changes. Take wide and close photographs, mark landmarks, and preserve any route or map information—photos help tremendously.


Historical property research
We test family stories and old places against records, maps and the land itself.
Cost may be zero when the historical opportunity itself makes the project worthwhile.
Documented, mapped & preserved
Recovery is only one part of responsible historical work. We maintain project casebooks, log sources and field observations, photograph findings, and record location and context when appropriate.
Documented findings
Location is shown only at county level to protect landowners and sensitive sites.

The people behind the search
This team genuinely enjoys the adventure of turning a “gone forever” moment into a “you’ve got to be kidding me!” return. Derik and Crystal bring recovery experience, specialized equipment, certified-diver training, land-record research, first-aid and safety awareness, and practical outdoor and survival skills to every search.
Raised on a cattle ranch and an avid outdoorsman, Derik is usually tracking down a lost item, researching a historical place, traveling the world on two wheels, fishing, hunting, or operating his real-estate investment company. Husband, father and friend come first—although a promising lead can occasionally make him disappear a few days.
Crystal serves as Professional Adventure Enabler and Field Support. A natural adventurer with a curious mind and a weakness for a good mystery, Crys assists in the field, helps chase down leads, scouts locations and is generally willing to see where the next rabbit hole goes.
Every project receives a professional, methodical approach. We are insured, respectful of every property and committed to safety, discretion and responsible recovery. We enjoy the search, the history and—most of all—returning something that matters.
