Found an amazing abandoned neighbor hood in the woods homes are long gone I think and found the roads on a old map. The company who owns the land is located out of state. How do I go about asking permission?

I'll say, I live all around GOV and State lands. It is not much of a town not even roads anymore.the area are has been built on but this one sits clear. It is in a large lot of woods and no roads are left. but after looking I can see areas where a few homes were. JACK POT-->

I'm sorry but I have exclusive permission to detect that site. If you ask me though I might let you help... Where is it again ? LoL Good luck with it and let us know what you find. I'm about an hour North West of Asheville.

If you see any spring bulb plants coming up, work that area, that could have been their garden.

Going to take my dog on a long walk to look around.

Hook the dog's leash to your' metal detector and make it a fun walk. You just never know what the dog might lead it to.

You can go to the court, land office, or wherever land tax records are kept in your area to see who, if anybody, pays the taxes on the parcel. A lot of those "once-upon-a-times" are privately owned.

I completely agree with Keppy, if it's in the middle of the woods I'd hunt it and not worry about it.

Agreed!

Wow an amazing consensus of answers here

Rockhoppernc: When you say you "found" this site, do you mean as in: you already saw it ? From your post #3, it sounds like were already hiking around there and perhaps saw foundations, or whatever? Because if so, then .... doh, you were already there. Or if you think you can "walk your dog there", then, if you could do that without worry or permission .... well.... then ....

I have seen a old foundation close by but have not in this part of the woods. The neighbor hood plot
was originally a huge lot and split up a long time ago. I have driven past the new spot and spotted a trail going in. Thats about it other than using the GIS and maps for my area as well as overlaying the old maps to spot home plots.
Also used blooming flowers and bushes to find the last foundation and a nice little backyard full of first picks.Think we were the first to hunt this spot and excited to check the other spots in the new area.

Fotos....photos.....photographics.....PICS!!! I'm dying to see what you find there! And a BIG congrats!

Is the property in use now? Are livestock being pastured or is it being farmed? If that's the case I'd seek permission from the leaser.

No as far as I know it is a wooded lot. Looked it up and it is listed as an abandoned neighbor hood. a few small trails can be seen from over head. If I am correct I can see foundations. Talked to a friend who has been in the area 76 years and remembers a story of a dirt street hood with a few small too room homes. Mostly factory worker families and at that time not a very nice place..
