I normally wouldn’t be up quite this early but I smelt cooking and got up to find my wife cooking breakfast at 3am. We don’t eat breakfast at 3am. She was cooking in her sleep..she had 3 coffee cups out. There’s just us two. She had grits in boilers. 3 of them. I guess Sadie was going to join us or something.. I finally got everything turned off before she burned the house down and told her to get her ass in the bed. She finally listened to me. All is well at the rook-a-re. Good nite and morning to all.

I've always found its best not to hold onto *anything* too tightly. It just hurt more when God pried open my fingers.

I figure its HIS way of getting me to move on.

But, you could try something I've done before. When confronted with this argument, I offered the owner a written document stating that I will not hold them responsible for *any* injuries that happen to me whilst on their land. Its worked for me. No need for insurance in my case.

Good luck with your new place!
Great advice Whadi, I do have a document that covers this very issue. :thumbsup: I might just have contact the farmer to see if this would be acceptable to him.

Thanks very much for your advice,
Dave

Draw up a legal document releasing him of all liability if something happens then visit him or call him and see if he would reconsider with signed legal document releasing him of liability.
Thanks for the advice T_H, I just might have to do that. :icon_scratch:

I called my insurance agent and it seems that there isn't a common policy that would cover me going on a property.
They suggested that a simple waiver agreement that I could download off the internet would work.
It would make the landowner feel more comfortable in knowing that it wouldn't put them in a liability position.
Thanks Jim, I might research that this morning. :thumbsup:

Exactly....I have a pre-written (ie fill in the blank) Hold Harmless-Release of Liability document that my lawyer wrote up...
it basically states that I am on the property at my own risk, and the landowner/homeowner is not responsible if I hurt myself while on their property.
It includes a photcopy of my current health insurance card.

This has opened many doors and properties...especially when I see a property ready for demolition, and I want to salvage it.

Please keep in mind that the liability laws greatly vary from State to State or Country...(ie if its California, forgetta bout it)
Thanks for your post and for the advice xaos. :icon_thumright:

Bring out another thousand :laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:
Thats what they say but I've been lucky so far(knock on wood).We've owned 5 power boats over the decades and haven't taken a bath on any of them when it came time to sell :)...... Unlike brand new CARS :(
Boats,....you take care of them,give them what they need,don't abuse them,they'll hold their value pretty well.
These 2 were excellent boats ! Used them here at the lake almost Every day(for 8 years) & sold them for just about what I paid for them. ...... 4 were Merc. outboards and one Honda outboard......
Biggest problem(back in the 80s) was a starter problem with our 20 Ft. Cobia bow-rider w/150 Merc.' Black Max.' outboard.But we finally got it started w/the pull-rope....Ever pull-start a 150? :BangHead:
>>Cobia (today's version of the same boat)>> https://www.cobiaboats.com/2022-cobia-201-cc/

I just wanted to thank everyone for their support with regard to my losing permission to detect at least a half dozen sites. I have taken your advice and had drawn up a document from a template I'd downloaded years ago.

I'll post a copy of it below... please let me know what you all think. :thumbsup:

No problem... ask me anytime :P

I have nothing to add.... twas all said.

I personally have not had the insurance issue ever surface... but when and if it does i have a little insight now myself.

Usually its been a simple yes or no... and very rarely no.

Thanks ARC... it's such a shame that this is what detecting on private property in Canada has come to. :sadsmiley:
