Welcome!
The Sacramento
Valley Detecting Buffs of Sacramento, (SVDB) is
a metal detecting club based in the Central Valley of
California. The members come from the surrounding
Sacramento area and cities. Our members represent a wide
range of metal detecting interests from relic hunting,
coin shooting, jewelry hunting to detecting / prospecting
for gold.
Lost & Found
If you lost a valuable ring or piece of jewelry
our SVDB club members may be able to help you find it with
our metal detectors. In 2011 we found and returned
13 valuable rings plus other valuable items that were lost by people that requested
help. Click on the Lost & Found Picture or this
