HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU GUYS!!!! I WENT TO OVER 50S DINNER MY CHURCH PUT ON,I DID A PRESENTATION ON METAL DETECTING,TOOK SOME OF THE DISPLAY CASES I HAVE.IT WAS HELD AT A FARM ABOUT 6 MILES FROM MY HOUSE HERE IN MICHIGAN.THE GENTLEMAN THAT OWNS THE FARM,A RETIRED MAN,ASKED ME IF I EVER FOUND A GOLD COIN ,I SAID NO,STILL LOOKING.HE THEN ASKED ME IF DETECTORS WOULD DETECT THRU CEMENT,I SAID AS LONG AS THERE IS NO RE-ROD IN THE CEMENT,IT SHOULD WORK.HE THEN RELATED TO ME THIS STORY:"BACK AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY,BEFORE I OWNED THIS FARM,THE PEOPLE THAT OWNED THIS LAND WERE KNOWN TO BE VERY WELL OFF.IT WAS WELL KNOWN THEY HAD A SUBSTANTIAL COLLECTION OF GOLD AND SILVER COINS THEY KEPT HIDDEN IN A CROCK OR CROCKS,IN A PLACE ONLY KNOWN TO THE OWNERS.AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS,THE OWNERS DIED SUDDENLY.PEOPLE SEARCHED FOR THE CACHE,BUT NATURALLY,IT WAS NOT FOUND." HE THEN TOLD ME,"I MIGHT KNOW WHERE IT IS BURIED"!!!!!! HE SAID THERE IS A SPOT IN HIS BASEMENT FLOOR WHERE THE CEMENT WAS BROKEN UP, THEN RE-CEMENTED OVER DECADES AGO.HE ALSO TOLD ME WHEN THE ROAD WAS WIDENED TO BE PAVED IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE YEARS AGO,THE GRADER DUG UP A GLASS JAR FULL OF SILVER 50 CENT PIECES.HE ALSO TOLD ME THEY WERE DIGGING IN THEIR BACK YARD FOR SOME REASON,AND DUG UP A CONTAINER WITH THE REMAINS OF A CIVIL WAR RIFLE IN IT!!!!!! I TOLD HIM,BEING A GLASS JAR WITH COINS AND A CIVIL WAR RIFLE WAS FOUND ON HIS LAND, THE STORY ABOUT THE COINS MIGHT NOT BE SO FAR-FETCHED!!!! OH,BY THE WAY,HE TOLD ME I COULD COME OUT AVY TIME,AND SEARCH FOR WHATEVER I MIGHT FIND.I CALLED HIM THIS MORNING,WE MADE PLANS FOR ME TO COME OUT ON MY VACATION,THE 27TH OR 28TH OF JULY.HE ASKED ME IF I HAD ANOTHER DETECTOR,I SAID OF COURSE,AND HE ASKED ME IF I COULD BRING IT OUT SO HE COULD TRY IT OUT. THIS,MY FRIENDS, MIGHT BE MY"BIG ONE"!!!! WISH ME LUCK,I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE 28TH OR29TH OF JULY.

Please keep us posted. Make sure you sign a written agreement with this guy up front for how it would be divided if you find it. I've had people get real greedy after they see something nice in your hand like gold.
Do it nicely though as it is his property. I'm sure there is someone on the site here who has a copy of a vilid agreement they could post for you that will cover all the legalities. Tell him that if you do it this way, it will protect him as well as you. If he says how, tell him that you will sign a clause in it that will indemify him from all liability if you get hurt on his property during your hunt. 8)
