James Mathias

(613-876-8167)

President & Founder of the “South Eastern Ontario Metal Detecting Club” Located around the “Kingston Ontario area”

James started Metal Detecting in 2021 and within the second outing on a local beach. He had helped a woman recover her late grandmothers wedding ring that she dropped in the sand.

“The reaction I got from the distressed young lady and the smile on her face as I was able to hand it back to her made me want to help folks find their lost items from that day on.”
