How Many Is Too Many?

A buddy of mine and I have been hitting local garage sales for permissions while the sale is going on, and done great with permissions so far. My question is...would 3 tectors on basically small city lots be crowding the issue?

it would really depends on how small/big the lot is.

Again, it also depends on how thorough you intend on being. My detector works best if you go slow and methodical, so it could take me all day to cover a "small lot" by myself, so three might be right to hitting it all in a couple of hours. On the other hand, I would think most homeowners would be more hesitant to turn you right around at the point when "me" or "me and a friend" becomes a small group outing. Definitely don't ask for one person and show up with three.

Bingo.

I'll take one buddy, but as the old saying goes, "Three's a crowd." It's also daunting for the homeowner - especially if they are somewhat wary and uptight - to see three guys swinging away and digging up their property. Just saying it might be better to cast a smaller shadow.

One's enough in a small lot! It's not a party!
