<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eric6794, post: 2353458, member: 76066&quot;]I went north of where I live about an hour drive a month back going to an Amish store I heard about. While up there I saw a old school so I stopped and asked some people that lived near there about it and they told me that there had been people search there in the past but it had been a while since they have seen anyone metal detecting. I asked them all if they knew if the property belonged to anyone and no one knew and there is no signs posted. Yesterday on my day off since it was a warmer day I drove back up there with my detector in hand and proceeded to search the schoolyard after an hour of me being there there was a truck pulled up and asked what I was doing and I told him I was metal detecting he told me that it was private property and that I should have asked first. Well long story short I told him where I was from and told him that I asked the locals about the property and they knew nothing about it and the fact there is no signage that the property belong to anyone and he agreed there is nothing stating the property was off limits. I talked to him for a while and I told him that if I came across anything of significant value that I would contact him immediately and he must have believed me because he said I was welcome there anytime and I could come search his and his fathers property anytime I want as long as I called in advance. I keep a satchel of everything I find interesting and I let him go through it just so he could see.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I wish every property owner could be like this one but some are hardcore and will not let you do anything on the property they own. Best bet while metal detecting on property your not sure about is tell the truth about everything and let them see everything you have found, be willing to leave at the moment they tell you too, and most importantly be friendly. A 1901 IHC was the only thing worth interest for the short time I was there but it&#039;s worth more than gold to me cause now I have a few new places to search <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]479257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]479258[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
