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
email link with information about your lost jewelry.

OK,
so you have a metal detector and can’t quite figure out how to operate it.
SVDB is here to help. We have SVDB club members who know how to operate most
of the major brand name metal detectors. This includes White’s, Minelab, Fisher, Tesoro and Garrett
metal detectors.
If you would like to receive beginning instructions on how to use your metal detector we will hook you up with a SVDB club member
that will get you started in the right direction. Click on the following link to send us an email that
includes your brand and model detector along with your contact information.
A SVDB member will contact you to set up a training session. Email Link for Metal Detector Training
