what a nice day. I got some work done in the yard, and while I was out there a farmer who was out spraying weeds in his field stopped by to see what I was doing. (I'm building a small shed in the back yard, I guess that peaked his interests)
We got to talking, and apparently he lived in my house at one point in time while his current home was being built many years ago. My yard was originally a full acre, then he planted half of it when he moved out and still does to this day. I had no idea until today, and I've lived on this property 30 years. I asked him if perhaps we could work something out for the other half acre but he didn't seem very interested in selling it. I tried to sweet talk him telling him I'd like to build a barn someday, then he said to let him know when the time comes. So theres a chance haha.
Then it hit me! Ask this guy if I can detect his field!
So I did, and he said sure! He asked that I wait until the crops are cut for the season so I am on hold for now, but who cares? I just got permission to detect hundreds of acres! His only request was to please stop by his house before I go out there for the day so he knows who is on the property. no problemo!
Anyways I am just excited that I can now hunt the land around my home. And now that I know my yard used to be double the current size, I need to dig up some info and figure out how it was laid out and hunt that area first!
anyone else get a nice permission today??
