Over the past few months, I've been visiting some of the libraries and local historical societies in my area and have completed my research on a few potential sites that are rather promising. And now, the harsh reality of being refused permission to hunt these sites is starting to set in. The public ordinances pertaining to the use of metal detectors in my area are somewhat vague and it's easier for the person you're asking permission from, just to say "NO".
The most promising site that I wish to hunt is publicly-owned and maintained by an on-site property manager and from research, seems fairly rich in local history. Since I have no problems with donating/loaning finds that may be relevant to this area's history, I'm thinking that maybe a "letter of introduction" (something I could easily carry with me) from the local historical society would be beneficial when asking permission.
Any of your thoughts or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. . . Thanks,
