(So I go back and this time the jerky son answers the door, but I get him talking and starting working the diplomacy, talking about things he's interested, people he knows in town, etc. Then I remind him that he had asked me to leave after his mom gave me permission. So, he's getting nicer about it and says, "I'll have to ask my mom if it's ok" -- then he comes back and says the mom said no this time. I can't win with these two. I got a good cop/bad cop, but they keep switching roles.)
A block from my house is an historic, 310 year old tree that is a landmark, protected, etc. The roads there used to be main roads between NY City and Albany. The only silver half reale I found was a couple hundred yards away along the road near an old foundation and cemetary and right near it I found a large cent and an Indian head and a friend found a flying eagle. Well, gettng back to where the tree is there's a big open lot of land that used to be the entrance to an estate back to the 1800s and it's all original land and there are two big pillars where the driveway was. The people who own the land are an older mother and a son probably in his 30s or 40s. Their house is way on the other side of the land, probably 200 yards away and the land just sits there and is not manicured or anything, but very detectable. I asked the lady a while back if I could search and she said yes and I barely got in about 1/2 hour and found a 1908 barber dime. The jerky son comes driving up in his truck and asks what I'm doing and tells me who he is and I say your mom gave me permission and he said "tough" and asked me to leave. I even tried explaining that I'm a neighbor, etc., but no luck. So, now I have to drive past that property almost every day wondering what else must be in there. It's probably 300 yards by 50 yards of property.
