When I use this:

if(!src.contents.Find(/obj/item/equipable/weapon/dagger))
src << "You don't have the item to use this tech."
return
else
src << "You use the tech"


It only shows "You don't have the item to use this tech."

What's wrong?

I think it has to do something with new lists and the type, but I'm not sure.

I'm assuming that what you have in your list are actual, existing, created, objs. You can't search a list using a typepath if you're looking for an actual atom. What you can do however is if(!locate(/obj/item/equipable/weapon/dagger) in src.contents)

Or possibly in src.

for(var/obj/item/equipable/weapon/dagger in [usr or src without brackets)
    UsrOrSrc<<"You use the tech!"
    break
if(!locate(/obj/item/equipable/weapon/dagger) in UsrOrsrc)
   usr<<"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!11!"

Minor erratum: You need parentheses around the (locate(...) in ...) part, because the ! operator binds more tightly than "in".
