being a farmer myself some tips are tell them you will remove all trash and things that will puncture there tires such as nails.also offer your services to locate lost things like tools and such farmers are always loosing things. and once you get a farmers permission ask for other farmers in the area that might let you hunt
Love you mate
thats really helpful advice! cheers mate!
Great advice, thank you!
Love farmers hard working people, just need respect, iv got ncmd licence I'm looking for a group join go metal detecting
Brilliant I never got permission yet try that thanks
Hi Kris I got my first permission today! Tips worked well especially the history and offering help. In addition, he also liked the maps printed off Google Earth so he could pen in his field boundaries. I originally asked to do a 60 acre field but he said I can do all his land which is about 700 acres of mixed pasture and ploughed land. Told the wife she wont see much of me from now on. Lol ;)
+Steve O Yes, great to hear Steve! Tell me how you get on :)
+Addictedtobleeps 1st visit found a pair of regimental collar badges for the Ox & Bucks light infantry circa 1918. Funny enough got call today from the farmer telling me that he's just ploughed a 17 acre field if I wanted to run the detector over it...Okay let me think about for one second??? YES. Blimey looks like I struck gold with this farmer :)
Stephen Oatley @
Using old maps, streams, lakes and rivers are usually the same location even hundreds of years later. Lots of early parade grounds have lots of relics. Old Fair sites and Horse racing tracks have lots of coins. Old pub sites etc. Don't ask to detect the whole area, ask permission for just a corner or certain area. Down by the creek etc. Once you gain his confidence, then ask for more permission.
Hi Bleeps , ive just started detecting and havent been able to go as no permission , i took a few tips from your vid , this week i wrote a short note to a farm i found on google maps ,
i enclosed a sae and put my telephone number on it , and guess what the phone rings on wednesday night its the farmers wife , she said by all means come she was really nice , so im going there this morning :) 400 acres . so a big thank you for your tips , with out those i wouldnt of done it .
Great to hear! Let me know how it goes!
What area do u live as am having no luck
Very good suggestions! These are basically the same things that I follow in the USA. Having lived in Northern Virginia we had easy access to many US Civil War locations. I now live in Wilmington, NC with lots of US Revolutionary and US Civil War locations nearby. Farms have always been the best locations for finding relics and coins. One item that I also offer is to remove all trash that I find which will reduce the number of flat tires or equipment damages. I also show the property owners the buckets of junk that I find and explain that I properly recycle all metals, glass, plastics, etc. I explain that I not only am interested in History but also the environment. I also carry a 'Release of Liability' for those property owners that are worried about me getting injured. One additional item that I ask once permission is granted is make sure you ask the property owner if there is any area of the land that they want avoided, pet cemeteries, near fruit trees, flower beds, etc. It is very important to show the land owner that you care for their property as much as they do. I also offer my labor in exchange for searching time, this works best with older land owners as they don't always have the funds to pay for labor. I remove large rocks from fields, fill run off gullies, repair gravel roads, remove downed tree limbs and trees, this is an area that you have to know your own limitations. As a rule of thumb I do not offer to do anything that is beyond my own ability. Good luck to all! ;-)
How do you have time to treasure hunt? 🤣
Thanks for the tips mate; I've never gone on farms since I got my first C-Scope back in 1976. I'll have to try this year...
The quickest permission I ever heard of was from a work mate recently bought his young lad a detector and has a caravan at the east coast that is next to a farmers field. he was using it around their caravan when the farmer who was in his field came over and they got talking. Within a few minutes the farmer granted his lad permission without his dad even asking.... turning to my mates lad, he said. "Any treasure you find we share it halfsies ok!" while rubbing his hands together and winking at my mate. His lad is only 10 and wasn't sure what he meant. Good eh!!
I went for a drive to my local farms had three perms in one day , magic, has I know the Romans came through one, there was a battle on another and a sword and helmet found on the other , will try and get the next three farms then have over a thousand acres to myself.
Everything you just discussed was exactly how I recieved my first permission and all of my permissions after that , you give out good as well as entertaining advice . Best regards from Lloyd.
Once you get permission from someone in an area, even for their garden, you've got a local reference they can ask if you're legit, don't leave holes etc. it opens doors and many farming communities are close knit so when one says you're OK shown him what you've found and so on it opens many doors.
Many thanks for the supporting info that you supply. Today I`ve gone and purchased my first ever detector, a Vanquish 540, from a local dealer in Dorset. I`ve signed up to the NMCD, and I know a friendly Farmer, who will hopefully allow me to step foot onto his land. It`s good to hear someone start their video with something other than `Hey Dude! Howya doin`?` I`ll let you know how I get on! Keep up the good work!
How did you do?
Welcome advice for all those that love their hobby, experienced or not.
Thank you for a clear, concise video.
Excellent vid, every permission I have got has been through a face to face meeting. Always been polite and always had a smile on my voice, everything I've found , I've always endeavoured to try to show the farmer.As of yet, they don't seem interested in their choice of rusty nails,cans bottle tops,ect. Without asking you will never get.
Great video for a relative newcomer like myself - well done and many thanks! In fact, using your tips and those of 'Man With The Hat', I sent out six letters last week (including SAEs with them too, which I think shows some commitment to the recipient). Just a week later I received a phone call from one of them saying that he would be delighted for me to come and detect on his land and was I aware of all the roman activity nearby! Yes I was, as I'd done my research as you'd suggested (didn't tell him that though) and that was one of the reasons why I approached them - that and the fact that we buy stuff regularly from their Farm Shop! I'm so excited to be able to go somewhere other than the beach now, I'm like a kid again and that's down in no small part to you. Thanks Kris.
Great news, Jason! :D
The thing which best worked for me was finding and returning a landowners gold ring. Now people in that community know there is an honest detectorist who has good relationship with landowners.
Quite often when I'm out other landowners will stop to have a bit crack (not crack cocaine - lol) and suggest I give their fields a go which is unheard of from some people's experiences. Other people asking in the area have been greeted with a straight 'no'.
I just need more damn time to get out now...
Day 1: It worked! I got permission from a farmer, now let's keep the relationship going, and help him out.
Day 193: After sending him a christmas card and some wine, he gave me a lovely note with some phone numbers from farmers, and he said he put in a good word for me!
Day 203: Now I have 4 permissions, the other farmers were very friendly.
Day 557: The farmers loved the wine, I think every farmer loves me now!
Day 2096: Help. I have bought so much wine for these farmers I am currently in so much debt, I'm spending more on wine alone than I am making per year. The shopkeepers think I'm a struggling alcoholic and have called the police on many an occasion. Help.
In all seriousness thank you so much for this video, I honestly didn't know it would be this time consuming, so unfortunately I will probably have to wait until I am back from uni next summer. Excited though!
Cool video. Can i just add another tip that helped me gain permission.When arranging a meet with a farm it can be helpful and useful to take a printed picture of the surrounding fields so that if you get to the stage in conversation you can whip out the printed map and the farmer can point out the boundaries. It helps to start off on the right foot. As you mentioned farmers are busy people so anything that's convenient to them goes in your favour. I enjoy your videos and have now subscribed cheers.
Really good tip!
I may have seen this only recently but by far the best advice for new detectorist. Though I have been detecting on and off since the late '70's there always is good to be learned in our hobby. Thank you for fantastic video.
This is so great video, thank you for that :)
I have been thinking a lot of times how to ask for permision. The thing is, I am a foreigner, I am not British native speaker, I am from EU, I speak English but I have sometimes dificulties to understand everything.. By the way your English in the video is absolutely fantastic, even though you are speaking very fast I understood 95% :)
So I would be in disadvantage in asking in person or by phone for a permision, because I think if farmers see I am not British they probably would consider me ( I don't mean this offensively!) to be a “suspicious” person :D
If I am a member of a Metal Detecting Club it would be so much easier to get on a field, farm etc.
I very would like to join any MDC but again.. I think my English language and the fact I am not British could be a problem or barrier for my accepting to the MD Club..
Which makes me sad.. Because it must be so awesome to enjoy doing this hobby on a huge field with a lot of mates who have the same passion when everybody is trying to find something nice.
Marco Polo Hello! :) I don't think the fact that you don't speak English well will stop people from accepting you into a club. Find a club, and speak to the chairman, explaining why you are so nervous about it. I'm sure they'll understand :)Try letters if you feel un-easy talking to people. Letters or e-mails :)
I think the best way to get permission is to ask in person and explain your love of History. Just BE HONEST with the property owner. I explain that I remove all the trash that I find be it a bottle on the surface or a nail a foot down in the ground! It all comes out and goes home with me for recycling. Here in the US there are scrap metal dealers that will buy your metals and although you don't get a lot for steel or iron just cleaning the environment is good to do! I carry a 3 gallon bucket when I dig and at the end of the day I show the land owner all that I have found.. I also offer to give them anything that I have found if they so desire. I also offer to remove any metals that they want removed if I can. I offer my services to find lost rings, tools, equipment parts, property stakes, waterlines, or anything else that they need assistance with. I make no guarantees that I can locate anything but will give it my best try. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to see some of your finds on here sometime soon. It also helps to join a treasure hunting club as you will find that others have the same issues and need assistance as well. Not all clubs are the same just as all Treasure Hunters (TH'ers) are not the same. Sometimes you just need to join and get a feel of the members and see if one will give you some pointers and help you out. Good luck to you. ;-)
HOLA HABLAS ESPANOL?....TE DEDICAS A BUSCAR COSAS CON DETECTOR DE METALES?....ME GUSTARIA ME CONTESTES POR QUE TENGO ALGUNAS COSAS QUE PREGUNTARTE Y HABLAR CON TIGO ...YPO SOY ESPANIOL Y VIVO EN UK Y ME ENCANTA LA AFICION DE LOS TECETORES DE METALES PERO NECESITO MAS INFORMACION YA QUE TENGO UN BUEN DTECTOR Y QUIERO HACER SALIDAS ALGUNAS AREAS INTERESANTES...GRACIAS
Very useful information for beginners. If farmer says no you can ask him if you can leave your card with him offering a free finding service to him or any of his fellow farmers should they lose a valuable item around the farm etc, then just to give you a call you never know.
This is an excellent info-video for novice metal detectorists and anyone interested in the valuable history of our planet. Well spoken.
My brother in law owns a 760 acre farm in mid Wales that had a settlement on it many moons ago...just bought a garrett 300i an am off up there Friday
you are the only dude that i have found on u tube, that clearly explains how to get permission from land owners, thanks alot mate you have helped me alot!
Top video I had no idea where to start looking this is spot on! Thank you
Hello bud I haven't seen you on RUclips in a while I miss your great videos and finds and thanks to you showing people how to get permission for detecting on farm land I now have a load of fields that I will be detecting for years thanks for your help and keep up the good work and hope to see you back out again soon making great video and nice finds HH Gl 🍀 🍀 🍀
Thanks, David! Videos back up and running soon, as the new season has started :)
Great vid, going to try & get some land this Autumn around Dorset ,i do a lot of detecting on south coast beaches in warmer weather but got me self a barber jacket & a flap cap & wellies boots to look the part ,hopefully i just might get a bit of land by offering my charm & services as a roofer & handyman as a free of charge jest jar . Thanks for the info Happy Hunting .
I am thinking of taking up metal detecting , i have been looking at video's on utube , and i would like to say how good your video is . It is well presented , full of information , and good do's and donts. Thank you Jed
Best advice on the internet for this issue.
🇨🇦 I just watched a collaboration of you mudlarking a drained canal with Sifinds and was curious about your channel. Glad I did. This information is valuable to me. I have been working on filming my own RUclips channel in Canada here and have been wondering how to get permission to officially explore certain properties. Thank you for making this video ☺️.
Glad it helped, Janice! :D
It can really get you down. I've been there. It really is just a case of sticking with it though, and not giving up. I couldn't believe it when my first farmer said yes. It was so easy, after so many setbacks.
A club, really, really helps. I've now got members of my club permissions.
WTF I just came back from a holiday in the tiny village of Sudbury where I had first tried and failed to get permission from a local landowner. So I decided to watch a vid on how to get permissions and the video is using the exact same village I've just been in!
hi mate ive got my minelab540 coming enjoyed your video got some interesting advice just paid for my licence did what you said found a old village that is not there any moor going to get intouch with farmer soon as this arrives . thanks love your videos no silliness just coins and a good laugh love it thanks Steve
Brilliant video mate! seriously appreciate your wonderful video, really handy to know about the club membership and the insurance!
Very good video, man.
Your last point was a very good one - getting the farmers to tell other landowners what a great person you are. That goes a hell of a long way.
I find that if you show the farmer what you found and where you found it first / second time out, it allows them to make a mental map of what was happening on their land in the past and they like that. Giving them the odd georgian copper, musket ball, spindle whorl always is good too as they will feel a bit more connected.
Again kris fantastic advice .I have not asked one farmer yet ,and yes its not going to happen with my butt glued to sofa. One thing i have worked out and would like to add is experience increases your chances and we hopefully will get better at asking as time goes on . A bit like sex ,i know now i was no god in the sack at 17,but believed i was .
Same applies to many of us ,we think we can get anything we want if we want it badly enough, but fact is on something as important as gaining a permission many of us might stammer or say something totally stupid when nervous,putting out bad vibes farmers can pick up on.Thats why i am plannning to draw a circle 5 miles radius ,assess whats interesting on outer perimeter and start asking there first.if i keep getting knocked back hopefully as i get closer to home i will have corrected anything i have been doing wrong and fine tuned my approach as good as it can get .Then hopefully when i ask the nearest farm i will have some air about me that the farmer recognises and trusts .I too had thought of taking my little six year old,and am even thinking of trying to get a club started that encourages youngsters to get involved ,getting them off thier computers/phones.
What an excellent video, full of tips which I will put to good use as up to now I have found it difficult to decide just how to find and where to go to meet farmers on a casual and friendly basis. I am sure both myself and the small club I belong to will benefit so much with the possitive attitude shown in this instructional piece. Should have found it years ago.
That Call to the Farmer was as funny as my SatNav Bossy B* telling me en-route to my brother's house to "Take the 3rd Exit at the roundabout, and go back" : ) A SatNav is a good idea; There's nothing worse than not being on time when booked to meet a busy Farmer!
Hi, Just to say I found the advice on gaining permissions really useful . I have been writing letters and used much off the advice you have given. Have got a few permissions so far but have not followed up my letters with a visit or phone call. Will try this.
Thanks
Richard Brown
Thanks for the great tips for trying to get permission on a farm 👍 seen loads of your videos absolutely brilliant and loads of history ... just new to the hobby 😊
Thanks for the help Ive tried since Christmas with no luck. I feel like I should just stick to beach's but It is horrible when you drive past a field and say to your work mates. Thats a crackin field. and they look at you strange.
You could buy some produce from those farms and get to know the owner. That might get you in the door. Face to face is the best way to contact anyone for permission. Even putting a metal detecting club logo on your jacket or hat helps to identify you to the Farmer. Offer to hunt for lost rings or other jewelry. Offer a percentage of your finds to him. Bring your kids helps too.
This is a great video with a lot of excellent information... not to mention entertaining! I live in the States and have just started the hobby. I actually work in a city that is just south of The City of Kettering named after Charles F. I couldn't believe it when I saw that you quoted him! He's a big deal here and I've actually visited his burial site...
Fantastic info and another excellent video. I'm just about to get started in MD and you're showing the way a treat, thanks a heap.
Before you detect, do you need to have anything in writing? I mean, if you find something valuable, do you split the finder's fee?
You video's are great and very helpful. I never realized how strange it feels talking to yourself until starting to do it myself :)
great vid matey.one thing i have found usefull is, I go to our local farm shop every sunday for for my veg and i have built up quite a repor with the guy.he has no told me i can go on his land when ever i want.as long as he hasnt got ant crops on the go.of course...
Very kind. Glad you've enjoyed it!
awesome videos i am really interested in starting this up at some point in the near future
Great advice on getting permission, which I’m implementing. I’ve got my NCMD membership and insurance, just waiting on my business cards to arrive then I’ll be out and about visiting local farms. Wish me luck and watch this space. 🤞
Well? How did it go??
@@tintin-rc7sp not good, but then I haven’t had a chance to really put myself out there yet. 🤷♂️
I think your right about much of what you say and do make sure you say how hoards keep being found in your area! or maybe just apply for farm jobs or get into a line of work that gets you out into the countryside if thats your thing.
The biggest industry here is farming, and my family being farmers fishermen and tradesmen means I would have no problem getting permission even with long hair and piercings, I'm in luck for once
It was scary to begin with, but everyone was actually very nice, considering you are cold calling! Once you get over the initial fear, you confidence just grows.
Unfortunately after 10 miles of hiking I only got a "maybe in 2-3 months time", but he has my card! Thanks for your useful tips :)
I really enjoyed watching that, lots of very interesting information. I've been thinking about asking for permission to detect on the farm next door to the one I have now. I will use some of the great info you have given us and I'll let you know how I get on.
All the best!!!.
John.
No problem, Peter. Glad it helped!
Yay! Ged commented on one of my videos! Thanks for the tips, Ged. I feel like I'm rubbing shoulders with metal detecting royalty now, he he. Love your videos :)
Cheers, Stan. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Excellent video with great ideas keep the good work going thanks a lot
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m sorry if this sounds bad but a lot of kids these days are not going pubs getting business cards made and have there hair cut just to get in to metal detecting and go farmers markets. They are stuck on the computers 24/7 and this sounds like your asking Alan sugar if you can take of road bikes on is garden your uploads are brilliant to some but remember there’s some kids out there that can’t do any of what you have said and could do with help keeping out of trouble with a brilliant hobby like metal detecting and your a man that could help 🙏
very helpful great video fantastic information be trying the tips now myself thank you for taking the time to do the video happy hunting from digger
This has really helped me : ) thanks! I have had a decent metal detector for ages and only ever had one field to use it on. This is because I live in the longleat area which makes it hard to get permission because they refused to let me search : (. But now I am using your tips and it is definitely helping:))) cheers!! - Theo
Good luck, Theo! :)
Went to old maps, found my village some German geographer recorded in 1716. Jesus Christ. :D Thank you
Very good video and lots of good suggestions. I must agree with Swampratman2000 below, inform the farmer that you will remove all items that you find and will show him at the end of the day your bucket of finds. I carry a 3 gallon bucket with me and have several more in my vehicle and at the end of the day I take the time to show the farmer all the bits and bobs that I have removed from their property. One of the questions that I will ask a farmer is how many flat tires do they get in an average year? The usual response is 'way too many!' My comeback to this is 'I can reduce your flat tires and equipment breakdowns caused by items in the ground as I will remove any and all that I am able to!' I go on to explain that I have found some very deep and large items of metal (buried car axle, engine, or unknown pipe) that I was not able to remove due to size. I offer to inform the farmer of such items and go on to offer my assistance in removing these items from their property. I also inform the farmer that I recycle all the scrap metal that I dig up and use the funds to pay for gas, batteries, repairs to my detectors, etc. I also offer to show the farmer how to use a metal detector as I also carry a spare detector with me on most of my Searches. Now I will say that most farmers do not have the time to take me up on my offer but sometimes they do have a child or grandchild visiting that would like to give it a try. I jump at this as it is a way to show the farmer that I am not one to just take but one that will also give. You are also correct when you suggest swapping a day of labor for a day of digging; this works. One thing that I have noticed is many detectorist are LAZY, they refuse to pick up trash when they are out searching. If you are given permission to search any property, clean it up! If you find a bottle on the surface, pick it up and carry it home with you. I do the same when I search a local beach. All the metal finds go home with me along with bottles, plastic, etc. People notice that you are caring for the property as well as the owners, and anyone that happens to walk through the area. As Jeff Lewis has stated finding the time to go digging is sometimes the hardest to do when you are working 5 or 6 days a week, have a family to deal with, home projects, and life in general. I try to get out at least once a week, depending on the weather which is sometimes a pain. This is a great hobby and a super way to relax and enjoy life. It is even better if you can share it with a child or friend! ;-)
Hahaha you do look like a Bass player, nice videos..i have arriving tomorrow a minelab 3030 my 1st metal detector and cant wait!!! all ready have one of the biggest land owner in the area groomed and ready to let me go. wish me luck.
+Simon Garlick Enjoy! :D
Very informative addicted, everything you have mentioned has worked for me in the past. Great video it should help people a great deal.
Hi Kris going off line a little, I was watching a video of another detectorist and he had mentioned that the powers that be have now enforced that detectorist,s are not allowed to work on "public house's" , now dose that mean those big places open to the public or pubs because I would have thought that it's up to the land owner's?
Very helpful advice. Many thanks. Subscribed for more. Best wishes 🙂
FANTASTIC! thank you very much for the advice...fingers crossed.
Good luck and happy hunting
Paul
Excellent video, great advice and well produced. One thing I noticed that was missing, or perhaps I missed it. You have three farms in an area. You spot a feature on a map, how do you know who owns that particular field and which farm to contact? Or do you contact the farms first, see what permission you get, then show them a print out of google earth and ask which are their fields? I guess you could do it either way round. As a graphic designer myself, I also found your “Pinned” comment really useful. I am in France, not speaking too much French, so that leaflet idea is excellent for me. One final thing, if going with a more formal approach of using a contract, would you be saying that you have exclusive use? HH, Ellis.
Not sure if you touched on it but another bonus to land owners might be that all the trash and rubbish you do find like bottle caps etc. being environmentaly concious, you will take all the crap away help cleaning the property... : ) T.D.K.
Hi Addictedtobleeps, although your vid is a bit cheesy, I found it extremely helpful and quite funny so keep posting, I'm from the older generation and plan to re-visit the hobby I left some 20 years ago due to work commitments, anyhoo I am finding it very difficult to get land, mainly down to two reasons, 1. most of the available land has already been taken by other enthusiast (who seem somewhat reluctant to share), 2. a lot of the land where I live (East Anglia) is owned by Lords or large land owners who will very rarely entertain us, I know you are unlikely to be able to help but I just thought I'd let the group know how difficult it can be. by the way it won't stop me trying, I'll let you all know if I have any luck. Love the vids.
Keep at it, Steve! It really is a game of perseverance.
Cheers mate will do,
Cheers mate.
Hello steve, did you ever find a permission?
A great vid and very help full. It seems in the uk beaches are the only place to detect with out a permisson and not every one lives near one. The us vids had given me the impression you could go in parks and detect but no. i live in the south and im getting a lot off Nos maybe i should join a club try your ideas or just play x box and sell my detector
Great informative vid,i agree everything you said, except i have never emailed, phoned or wrote a letter.I just think this gives them a little time to think about it, and have something rehearsed for when you get back to them.My approach is do your research exactly as you said.Then just call, not at their busy time like milking, etc.I have got all bar one farms i called at,and have around twelve, plus odd fields on others.I am 50,so maybe that helps,who knows..thanks for sharing GL&HH
im 16 and I find it easier to get permission if you use a smaller shovel/trowel if you use something like a garrett ace 250 like I do you should have no trouble just using a trowel or a mini spade, also my first permission the guy had a positive experience with detectorists as his wifes ring was found by one.
hi I do injoy your video looking forward to purchase my first unit
Hey never knew you were doing a programme on Channel 5, well done! massve surprise to see you on there, great programme
Good suggestions indeed.
Awesome man. New to all this and this video is great. Thanks man
All the advice I'll ever need. Thanks mate.
Local libraries have lots of old maps to research too.
Fantastic Bleeps! a very useful video indeed, great tips and links!
Brilliant video and advice. Tips will be used Thank you for sharing
hey there, i have a quick question, i am new to this and i am really excited about getting my 1st metal detector, however i have come to a dilemma, which detector to get, shall i get a garrett 150 ace as it is affordable and simple to use or should i get the next model up (250 garrett which is more costly and complicated to use as a first metal detector) suggestions please???
thanks
dave
Very very good info & it all makes sense especially NOT saying "I want to hunt for TREASURE on your land".........History.
Good on you, Sir! I wish there were more like you :)
Have a question.
For example, if the farmer or the owner of the land asks you "what are you going to do, if you find something valuble". What would you say? I am assuming that he would also be very interesting in it and since you find it on the land that belongs to him..
I always find a good bottle of whiskey secures the trust between you and the farmer.
Hey odd come to watch this video see Sudbury Suffolk my hometown!!! How weird!!
Very entertaining and instructive video ... which should help newcomers get permissions .. I recognise here things that I do myself and as you know I have no trouble getting permissions .. the age factor is important .. I am 72+ .. good video .. well done .. only one suggestion for you .. teach one important point per video .. KISS .. Keep It Simple Simon .. and this applies to getting persmissions as well ,,KISS .. good luck and happy hunting .. Ged ..
Thanks for the video. I Got lucky yesterday 22/10/2019 i was just going around looking for places to metal detect, i came across a small horse farm, and i really did not think i would get a YES i walked through there gate and called out if anyone was around a elderly gentleman, popped his head out of a shed and i said hello can i help you..
Hi there i'm steve and i was just wondering if you own this land, The Gentleman said YES ,so i then said i was just wondering if it would be possible to do some metal detecting on you're land.
After a few moments of silence he told me he use to have some guy metal detecting on his land a while back, when he said that i thought he would say No, but then he told me the guy had died, so there is no reason why i cant detect on on his land, so i said does that mean a YES ,and the said YES i don't mind ,just cover up your holes.
I showed a bit of interest asking how much land he had and how long he had owned it., told told me it is only 7 or 70? acres (HOW BIG THAT IS I GOT NO IDEA. lol) But yea i got my first permission , only taken me about a year , and this was just on the off chance to. I told him i would not detect today as it getting late 4pm but i like to get him to fill in a consent /Permission form that i have downloaded from NCMD.com i have a Licence from NCMD and told him i would bring it in later in the week for him to sign it, i also told him im insured up £10-million pounds.. So that put his mind at rest to i think.
The Permission is like 1hr 15 mins away on public transport. and i hope to start detecting there soon. maybe next week.
It;s a good idea about offering the owners any help with work as he did tell me he got a big job soon to cover the driveway with stone,so maybe i ask him if he needs a hand doing that.
There are a few other small horse farms around that location so im going to go knocking on there doors and ask if i can get permission on there land to, and let them know that i have already got a local permission, and maybe they may know the guy who gave me his permission.
Steve's Out Doors Adventures Love this comment! Well done, Steve!
@@Addictedtobleeps Thankyou.i just hope my BOUNTY HUNTER Quick Draw Pro Metal Detector will be up for the job, i just got this 2nd hand from a friend as just upgraded to a Garrett 400I.
Being on a very low income i cant afford the high end detectors.such as Mine labs, Garretts, C-Scopes, XP ORX, and all the other high end stuff, i even had to use these crappy cheap £15-£20 pin pointers, but just ordered a Gold Hunter Professional Pin pionter,. The Cheap pin pointers don't last more than a week before they start going off on there own.
I would love if anyone had a spare decent pin pointer such as a garrett or mine lab pin pointer , or even a metal detector they no-longer use and wanted to donate it to me,(Saving them collecting dusts) as i'm sure i wont find half or even 3/4 of what these better detectors finds now a days. If anyone can help a poor old geezer who has no money to get some better gear, please hit me up. Or if any one likes to sponsor me that be cool, i do honest reviews on any gear.
I just went to the farmers door and kindly asked, guess what "Do what you want mate, i`m sure you`ll find allot of nails" :)
did you? 😂
Yep, still haven't found at least a coin yet :)). damn pull tabs
How's it going now mate?
Great vid, thank you matey.
hey, i always offer a free "finding" service, for when they lose their rings in the manure.... lovely stuff that manure..
but seriously it helps.
Lovely show m8 many thanks

How do you find out what land is public vs what's privately owned? do you need permission to look in public land?
