There is construction going on near my house that was an old farm, and a tornado hit it a long time ago. And I just got a new metal detector that i want to test out

Just think of the serious and dire consequences that could result if you don't ask.......for example, the most likely one: Someone will approach you and say "Don't do that".
Seems really that you would need to ask the property owner. I've gotten permission on construction sites from the property owners, and the foreman both, but the foreman has given me permission because it was city owned property and when it is privately owned I didn't have a problem getting permission from the property owners.
Concerning city property, I've gotten permission from the mayor and a few times if I wasn't sure if the person who gave me permission was the authority, I would stop by the PD and let them know that "such and such" gave me permission and then I've gotten the PD's blessing that it wouldn't be a problem. I have never been turned down by a PD for detecting or had them tell me an area was a problem that they would stop me for and I've talked to the police at least 8-10 times.
Im the foreman on that particular project and if i see you in there im gonna have to be all over you like a spider monkey and have you arrested
Have you ever seen one sign off ?
I'd go for the verbal and wouldn't ask for more. I asked somebody I work with if they would shoot me if I detected one of his rental properties. He said he wouldn't care what I did on the property. So if I would break my leg I wouldn't tell him.
Having been in construction for 30 yrs. I know that when it comes to new residential & new commercial construction, once a Bldg. contractor has taken possession of the property to commence work he legally has the defacto say about who comes and goes on the "construction site" - at least here in Florida.
Therefore, I would look for a Construction Trailer and ask to speak to the Job Super. If he signs off on your after hour md'ng I think you'd be good to go.

Why not just say I plan to sneak in trespass and detect your private property when your not here...I'm wondering if a person said "I'm planning on detecting this site this week-end if you don't care ,but I'm not asking for permission because I don't want you to be liable" Might fall under the "nobody cares" and might be a situation where you would not need permission.

I would say If you get a no on hunting because of Liability
something along this line
, "Would you mind If I detect without your Permission so you Don't have the Liability issue ?"
