Ep176: Treasure Hunters of the Central Coast

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 insistThis one’s full of heart and good feels. Enjoy!Huge thanks to our Patreon legends for keeping the wheels turning.All the links:Podvan WebsiteFacebook GroupFacebook PageInstagramPatreonTikTokYouTube Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
