Got permission to hunt awesome spot PICS

[richm]

Finally got exclusive permission to hunt this foundation and surrounding area!! There was an original house here built in 1850, it burned down in 1890. Another house was built that year by adding an additional foundation to the existing one. You can see the stone foundation and the field stone foundation where they join. The second house burned down just a few years back. I don't know if it was filled in or the grass inside of it was the original ground. I will be detecting here this weekend

You just gave out EXACT details on where to find your spot. Seriously? Don't be surprised if by the time you get there you see some holes from somebody else or the property owner gets annoyed by a dozen other people asking permission to hunt that spot.

Good point Bazinga, Thanks. I removed the pertinant info. Just as a point to anyoune out there that would think of doing this, It took me over a year to aquire the permission to detect this place. The police, neighbors and the business next door know that only I have permission to be on the property. Thanks again..Rich.

Congrats on a great looking site. Please keep us updated as to what you find. That looks awesome. I think what people are saying about posting pictures of a future hunt is that there are people who will go out of their way to hunt sites where others are having success. I know in my area if I post pictures or tell the location of our civil war sites some people will trespass on the places we have permission or they will hunt at night. You have a very good looking site and we all wish you the best. Just be very careful telling people where you plan to hunt. This is a great hobby but there are always some bad apples that ruin it for us all. I can't wait to see your finds there.

Why would you give all that information out.............. Myself and others have said keep that information to your self. ...........................There was even a write up in Western & Eastern Treasures the OCT, 2010 issue page 26 that also says to much information given out is not good...........see what my signature below says..................... LET NO ONE KNOW WHAT WERE OR WHEN...........

Not to mention, he said he got "EXCLUSIVE PERMISSION". I kinda interprete that to mean anyone else gettin caught there could be in some deep poo-poo.

Site looks maintained so someone's been keeping an eye on it. Looks like a great site...congrats.

My thoughts exactly. An old home site which includes a neatly-manicured lawn? A rare find indeed!

Enjoy hunting in that short grass while I'm busy pulling thorns out of my butt from the sites I hunt.

He edited his post. In his original post, he gave a lot more details. One detail was he gave the exact name of the historic house that was next door.

 

[richm]

Bazingas right. I gave away too much in the first post. I actually had an encounter with someone. Don't want to say too much as he said he views T-net.

Okay I'm going to spill the beans at the risk of getting this guy pissed. I,m detecting the site and during the course of the day, several people stopped by to inquire if I had found anything good. The site happened to be on the walking route to a local fair. Everybody was respectful and happy to hear the history of the site I was working. All of a sudden a car pulls up a parks right on the property I'm detecting. A guy jumps out and starts walking over to me so I take off my headphones and he says "you beat me to it, I always wanted to detect this place" I proceeded to tell him that it took me a year and a half to get "exclusive permission" to detect this site and I cant have anyone on the site with me. He tells me he has his detector in the car with him and I tell him sorry but I'm the only one allowed on the property. He then hands me a brochure and says "any time you want to upgrade your detector give me a call. Apparently he sells @#$%^ detectors. He politely leaves and I thought that was the end of it. As I'm getting ready to leave I see a ruckus going on across the street but paid no attention to it. A few minutes later the same guy walks up to me and says " so, having any luck" after a little chit chat he says " the guy across the street threatened to call the cops on me cause I was detecting along the stone wall! I looked at him and said "Dude, it's a 350 year old house owned by the Historical Society and it's a museum!!!! YOU CAN"T DETECT THERE!!!" As I was leaving, sure enough I see a patrol car pulling into the museum! These are the people that ruin it for us honest detectorists!!!

His behavior is what I don't get. There are plenty of sites out there and with a little effort and some courtesy we can land them.

Not every site will be obtainable, move on if its a no.

 

[treasurehound]

I can't believe that there are people out there like that but there are. This is one of the reasons I don't give any details as to where I hunt. Even if you have permission there will always be someone out there who will go out of their way to hunt it. You have a great site and we can't wait to see what else you find there. As an fyi next time don't post so much detail of where you are hunting. The true people on this site would rather see your finds. The exact location will bring out the trash (trespassers). I hope that that person does see this posting as I would NEVER buy a machine from a dealer who did what he did. As a dealer I can't believe that he had the gall to show up at your site.

 

[deepskyal]

Maybe the guy reads Tnet, but he sure hasn't learned a thing. And a detector dealer of all things.

No, you can't detect....but do it anyhow? That is sad. Exclusive means exclusive...no means NO!

Been checking your finds Rich, your doin great there. Hope he didn't ruin it for you.

Just my two cents for futrue reference.

Get exclusive permissioin. Hunt the site as many times as necessry. Then post a few coments and pics AFTER you hunted the location.

Live and learn.

Can not do much about local yahoos who want to horn in on you though, but you can post AFTER your hunt to minimize the risk of anyone else claim jumping your site.
