Face Book to get permissions...

[sibbley]

I've been using Facebook to drum up interest in relics and get more permissions. For the last year I've had a ton of likes on my posts but NO interest in "What's hiding in your yard". I made another post today showcasing my latest 1785-1800 button find and had two hits today. Two homeowners interested in having me come out to search their property. One property is an old farmhouse with yet and older farmhouse next door. Maybe Facebook will work out after all! Maybe what helped this time was showcasing an actual find?

Good to hear that you got a couple of replies.
I'm old school, knuckles on the door casing, step back onto steps, get 95+% yes, go fill your boots replies.

The actual farm yards, never touch them.
That's for the next generation.

Most of my permissions are township owned open space lands that I was able to get through work. I deal with them on a daily basis so I know the people that could give permission. One of the townships has a historical commission which has made me their official relic hunter. They're going to send out letters later this year to residents that own historic homes and farms asking for permission for me to search. Right now, they're working to get permission for the oldest church in the township.

I'm not really big on knocking on doors. Not too fond of it when it happens to me. I got a couple field permissions by sending out letters. I thought if folks were interested, they could contact me.

I like the farmyards, yeah, I find a lot of trash but there are some good things too.
