About Jake
Not a treasure hunter.
A neighbor who loves
local history.
Jake Erdahl — Oconomowoc, WI — Detecting since 2009
Active across
two regions
Primary detecting counties
Rest of Wisconsin

Home base in Oconomowoc (Waukesha County), with seasonal detecting near Upper Eau Claire Lake in Bayfield County. If your property falls anywhere in these areas, I'd love to hear from you.

Every hole filled

I dig small, restore the turf, and leave no trace. Your field looks the same when I'm done.

Gates & crops respected

I stay out of planted areas and never leave a gate open or a fence disturbed.

I haul out the trash

Old cans, wire, junk metal — whatever I dig up that's garbage, I take it with me.

And if you ever change your mind — for any reason, at any time — just say the word. No questions asked.

What's buried on
your property?

Whether you'd like to grant permission to detect, or you've lost something valuable on your land — I'm happy to talk.
