Well it might be time to start asking for permission to detect private property

The water is back up,the bushes and jaggers are coming back and bug ticks to so that’s sort of eliminate that detecting for awhile, that’s why winter and fall are good those spots. Subject talked about numerous times, other than being polite and not dressing like a goof and keeping respectful distance what the best way to approach this topic.

Right now around here as we are on lockdown and people are just plain scared of other people, we are not asking for permissions. I suppose right now this area is beginning to expect folks from the city to start the looting and pillaging thing fairly soon, like when they run out of crack money and invade, so going up to some stranger's door right now is not the thing to do! And I had a few good spots all picked out too.

People are getting really paranoid right now. I put a note in the mailbox for the mailman to take a few boxes which would not fit in the mailbox which I had placed in the car. He came up and knocked on the door and asked if it was ok to get them out of the car. Well, that's what the note said! He said he was afraid people "around here" would shoot first. People are beyond paranoid!

I’m sure somewhere east of your Wastelands you have a friend that lives in an old house, who doesn’t know about your hobby.

Here, it's my yard or nothing. However, we found CW stuff and my buddy got a $1 gold coin from the lawn. My house sits between an 1890's school and a 1780's mill.

To be truthful my residents is in western, pa. I here the old cry of the steel mills, canal workers. Did you ever here of the Sharon steel Corp and Westinghouse Corp they employed over 10,000 people not counting the other mills. Can you imagine that lose of jobs. Westinghouse building considered longest one story building in world attire, if you want look it up rather amazing. So this area I call the land of the abyss, I hear the cry’s of the many that built America right here in Mercer county Pennsylvania thankyou

Parks and other public places are still open here in Connecticut but who knows for how long. As far as people being paranoid.....that's putting it mildly. To some extent I blame the news channels with all their gloom and doom reporting. It's the same thing every single day and it's making some people crazy.

I was out for a walk and saw a new owner that had bought a 1930’s house with a big yard that had been sitting vacant for six years. We chatted about the house a few minutes and I mentioned my hobby and that I had always thought the yard would be a great place to metal detect. His response was “I’ll be digging it up this summer so detect any time! Made my day. Everything is mud here right now but hopefully next week I can detect and it’s only two blocks away.

I got permission yesterday on a house that saw civil war activity. Be safe!

If you can get the owners phone number you can call them. Much safer/ Not everyone lives on there property

A lot of people live on their phones though.
