Underwater Search of Lost Items

Butch Search & Rec

We received a call to search for a German  Submarine. Wait! What? A submarine? Butch was on it.

Lost Something Underwater?
Here's What to do Next.

When an item is lost underwater, the first thing you should do is carefully mark the location where it was last seen or dropped. If possible, take note of the water current, maximum depth, and the type of bottom (sand, rock, mud, or grass).

Trying to find the item yourself may be just burying it deeper in the silt/mud. For best results please don't stir up the bottom and contact us as soon as possible.

The longer you wait, the lower the chances of recovery due to changing water movement and shifting conditions that can move the item from its original location.

How It Works?

Our certified scuba diver specializes in searching valuable items such as cellphones, jewelry, wallets, keys, classes, fishing rods, and tools lost or dropped underwater.

 

Using underwater search patterns and underwater metal detection, we conduct efficient, environmentally safe recoveries tailored to your situation.

It was a replica of a German Submarine.

Butch used a combination of search patterns and underwater metal detecting, and the metal detector picked up the submarine’s antenna, which was sticking out of the muck. After nearly an hour of searching in the freezing Dresser Lake, the submarine was finally found.

Happy customer!

Rates

Our rates are determined by travel time to the search location, accessibility and difficulty of the search area, and the equipment required for the recovery.

***IMPORTANT***

Each recovery is approached with care, professionalism, and realistic expectations—while not every item can be guaranteed, every effort is made to conduct a thorough and responsible search.​​
