Thought It was gonna be a productive day,had three killer lookin' site's to obtain permission from.All three had the same reply,"we don't allow that here".Wasted half my day running down the road to hear this.Just like trying to find a place to deer hunt these day's,far and few between.Anyway here are some very meager find's at the old playground.Very frustrating to say the least.......Had to vent...Thank's and HH!!

I don't think my wife would like that...she still can't understand why I spend $5.00 in gas and only come home with $4.99 in clad..

Thats ok civil,I have a half a dozen other places for us to ask at.Got to look at the bright side though, we have over 1000 acres to hunt at the 3 sites where we DO have permission.Dont sweat a small race today for tommrrow we will see #8 in winners' circle.

im with ya! getting permission can be tough. out of the six letters i sent out two weeks ago, all six shot me down.now i have another six im sending off tomorrow. the one upside is that there are literally hundreds of sites in the county to check out, and now i have found an easy way to track down the owners.sooner or later someone has got to come through with a yes!

keep plugging along civilman, your yes will be coming. In the meantime keep accumulating the clad ,remember it can be used towards a weekend at Ocean City for you and your wife later this spring or summer. Good luck and keep us posted of your finds

Sorry to hear. I've only had 2 people say no but here in Germany, people aren't worried about lawsuites. I have many new permissions to obtain so my 2 could turn into double digits, LOL! HH and I hope you find a good spot, Mike

Hi everyone,
My eleven year old son, and I have just started detecting before the ground got to hard to dig over 2 inches here in NH. We have spent our time researching and getting permission to detect. It may be that I have the young one with me, but we have yet to be turned down. This is a great hobby to get a kid started in. He really loves it. It's a great farther& son,uncle & nephew, uncle$ neice, grand and grandchild,and even neighbor bonding sort of thing. Like they say take a kid (detecting) fishing. ::) Just my two cents!
Good hunting,
Leon
