I recently got a permission where the farmer HATES detectorists and group digs. Big trust issues. but my number was passed to him by one of my farmers after he lost a part on one of this machines. 2 unsuccessful recovery missions led to trust build up and he mapped out his entire farm 😃. he's not interested in tje finds unless it's gold etc but his wife is and gave me some more additional information about the farm. 👍

[@rudigginit]

Brilliant result Jason. It's the trust part that people find difficult, but you are a very honest detectorist. Your landowner must have a lot of respect for you passing your number like that 👍 Good on you Maria 🍀

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yeah that's another great way of getting a permission - by finding something lost, then re-unite it with the owner. That's a permission for life with a result like that. Thanks so much for the channel visit, and maybe see you at Detectival or RCM

Another tip for you……don’t talk with your mouth full 😂😂 some good advice there pal, and enjoyable as ever. Lovely coins there mate. Great to see you at the weekend!! Good times

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Haha, I'm rough n ready, a true wilderness beast, its what I do! This video was over 13GB in size and took less than 40 minutes to upload on my new internet. This would have taken 12+ hours during an over night upload, and 9 times out of 10 would have frozen and I'd have to start again. Life is good for the Duke. Was great to have you over at the weekend, you are welcome any time x

[@PhilipWillsWorld]

Thanks for the video. Some nice coins there. I hope to finally get on my permission this year. The land owner is a friend of my mom's from church. Every time I'm back home visiting my mom, I'm not allowed on the land because it's being used by sheep. 🐑🐑

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, that is interesting they do not let you on while the sheep are there. I've never known a landowner do that. The sheep are the kind fellows who keep the grass nice and short :)

[@PhilipWillsWorld]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I really don't know. It may be that the land is rented out to another farmer to put their sheep on?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

@@PhilipWillsWorld ask the landowner, tilt it your way and say you'd keep an eye on his flock while your there

[@PhilipWillsWorld]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire good idea. I'll try that next time I'm there.

The William and Mary with the hole was used as a washer. They just bang a square nail or a centre punch through it and saves a trip to the ironmonger. If it was shot it would have and entry concave and an exit, convex. Yours has a ridge around the holes on both sides. My best find at Detectival was a Vickie Penny in similar condition. Good finds and great video tips. I went on a door knock a few weeks ago and although they didn't know who owned the derelict house 100 yard up the road, however I had a can of my favourite beer in my back pocket with my metal detecting business card under the ring pull. We will see, the house I knocked was a rental. I subscribed 😀

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

The William & Mary with the hole in it would have had a piece of copper in the hole which is what gave the coin its value. Or something like that, I Googled it. Basically they were copper to begin with, but the value of the copper was worth more than a Farthing, hence why they changed them to tin. Beer with a business card is a great idea. I keep meaning to get some business cards whipped up, but never get round to it. Thanks for watching and for your great feedback. Oh and thanks so much for subscribing, hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth

Hi Michael, thanks as always for tuning in. Yeah I thought this field was going to be good. Unfortunately it is tiny and with a couple of visits I have pretty much emptied it. Had some more really nice finds from here though, coming soon!!

Well done Gareth. Good advice. Cracking finds. I said to Viv that if you pull out a Vicky bun head penny in really good condition I guarantee it would be 1862. May your new permission give you many great finds. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, that is awesome to know you had successfully predicted my find! I am still here by the way hangin on to a thread of my channel. I actually went metal detecting last night for first time in ages. I climbed over the gate to the field and landed awkwardly and have damaged a knee ligament. I then went home for my tea - pie n chips, and broke a tooth! The hobby is well & truly against me right now haha!!

Hi , back on the silver mate nice coin to and in good condition shame the G4 was in poor condition but a silver coin none the less , you had quite a good day and as for getting permissions knocking on the door being friendly and honest is always my method if they like you then it's usually a yes , top video again with good info best wishes and ATB 👌

[@davemann3940]

Some nice condition finds there Gareth and I am sure your tips will help new comers.Getting land here in the midlands is more and more difficult due to the encroachment of pay to detect groups mopping up land.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Dave, it sure is getting harder to get permission, but with the hobby gaining in popularity, its only gonna get harder and harder. If I'd planned this video better I'd of mentioned a couple other things. In fact I did zero planning, I turned up and decided to make a video all about getting metal detecting permission. Thanks as always for watching

[@jaystrongbow6111]

Another thing I do is bring some examples of your local finds first time you door knock, I have some nice shoe buckles in a display, nice old KG's, Spanish coins, early American coins and relics. Adding this step in has really boosted my success obtaining permissions. Donating some nice finds to the landowner goes a long way to opening other doors, People talk.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yes, that is something I have done before, as sometimes, some landowners are quite interested in seeing what can be found. However, I find that most landowners are simply not interested, unless they are going to make any money out of it - which is probably the only reason why any of them ever let anyone detect their land haha. Thanks so much for watching and for your comments, much appreciated

[@jaystrongbow6111]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Landowners here are generally fascinated by colonial coins and relics I dig up. And after getting a great permission, don't forget buying a case of the landowner's favorite beer 🤓 If I find a rare coin, I will case it and donate it to them, opens up a lot of neighboring properties as people talk. I have had many landowners contact me over the years ............ maybe they just want a case of beer!! Keep cranking out those vids bud, enjoyable all around.

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I'm of the age where I have donated my life's metal detecting finds to local historical societies and Anthems. When I was a younger man, I could not have dreamed of doing that. Now I think it's more important folks get to see the rare history, than me to keep it tucked away. I retired well, but I know lots of people are compelled to sell their finds to finance the hobby. Plus, it keeps me hungry to keep swinging for the next old find! BTW, William and Mary is about the oldest coin I've found in the new world! Not much older in the ground over here.

[@jeremygardner8215]

Another top vid, well done, and good to see you back on the silver at last! You mentioned the pub at the end - defo, I've secured a number of permissions by talking to people in my local pubs, not necessarily from the farmer, but someone you talk to who who likes you and says you need to speak to my brother / uncle / Dad / son etc . Which leads me on to another top tip - ask your mates or colleagues if they know any landowners. If they put in a word for you, that proves you're trustworthy, which is half the battle. And if you don't ask, you don't get. I love the ones where you have all your long spiel prepared for a farmer who doesn't know you from Adam, and they give you the yes before you even have the chance to explain why they should give you permission!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, love this comment, you are bang on with your comments - ask anyone and everyone, friends, family, old school teachers, people always know people with land. And if you don't ask you don't get, bang on the money!! Some people are terrified and some people can't be bothered. If you want something in life you have to get it yourself and work hard.

This is a very helpful video, thank you. It's good to see how different people go about seeking permissions. I have a small permission with good history, but I'm looking to gain some more land to detect. I'm a hairy biker though, and I ride an old motorbike, so vthe idea of me going anywhere in a shirt and tie would look strange with leathers and bike boots. But I'm a very friendly, very respectful, I worked on farms when i was younger, albeit many moons ago, and rep'd to farmers for an agricultural company. So if i can get as far as the interview stage, I'll be quietly confident. I figure to try and use the hairy biker look to my advantage, as that's how i look ... 'The Hairy Biker Detectorist' ...... It did work for those two hairy biker chefs in that tv show 😊 Wish me luck 🤞😂

Excellent video Gareth and some very good tips for people, if only it was that easy now for us to get permissions, it is a completely different proposition now I am disabled and there is so much more to consider even before asking for permission, how hilly and is it safe, what would the access be and are any gates chained and locked and a host of other important considerations, then you have the landowners reaction to a disabled person in a powerchair knocking on their door, and how we have to try and convince them that it isn't a massive risk for them having me on their land in case something was to happen. They also have no idea of my powerchairs capabilities or my bodies ability to deal with off road conditions. Oh it was so easy when I was able to do exactly what you describe in your video, but everything in life is against disabled people I have found out and the only way to deal with things that may stand in your way is to be determined and overcome them if possible. Love this video, it is one of your best and very helpful for people that are struggling. All the best from Wendy and Jon.

@@disabledadventures4115 aye you have a good egg there in Wendy, proper wonder woman. I think am exciting big new permission full of Sovereigns would help re-motivate and re-inspire 🤣 I've literally single handedly rinsed a lot of fields and made dozens of videos on each one

[@B1aZ3-d9r]

My only permissions have come through work contacts. I work for the NHS but it's amazing how many nurses are married to farmers 🤣

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there, getting permissions through friends, friends of friends, colleagues, their relatives etc is brilliant isn't it. Nothing quite like been handed a permission on a plate :) Thanks so much for watching

Good video Gareth sure it will help someone nice George 2nd coin all the best

Hi mate, thank you so much for the kind words. Metal detecting video guides is something that I've dabbled in before. After the success of my Beginners Guide video, I thought I'd put together a video dedicated to getting metal detecting permissions. My next one will be my metal detecting kit list. I love coming up with new ideas and bringing new stuff to the channel. I've got so much content coming and have some really nice finds in recent weeks. But it takes me huge amounts of time to edit these videos. Thanks again for your support. G

Great video!

Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out of your day to watch this video, I really appreciate it. I work really hard on my channel and the content I upload, it makes me very happy to see people are watching and leaving me comments. It inspires me to continue doing what I do. If you haven’t already, then I would recommend you watch this video next which shows 2 of my best ever gold finds found on consecutive weekends on the same field: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJLWgqKwpq2Zr9Esi=lsoIIZsz_q2_wYmW Thanks again, and I very much hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos on my channel.

Can you tell me what type of Wax you are reffering to when you wax your artefacts. Fantastic show by the way, one of my favourites.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. Sure thing, I use a product called Renaissance Wax. I buy it from Amazon, here is a link to the product: amzn.to/3Yul7Pt If you buy it through that link, I will earn a small amount of commission from Amazon :)

[@brianrutherford7385]

Hi Gareth, Another fantastic and informative video. I have a few questions about talking to the land owner. Do you make out a written and signed by both parties agreement about the finds and value of finds? Do you say if a item is valued over a certain amount IE- £200 or £300 then it is sold and split 50/50? Plus I have my NCMD membership which gives up to £10M public liability insurance. Would I mention that to land owner? Plus should I also mention about the PAS and FLO or do you think I would be bombarding the land owner with to much information? Also do you knock on land owners property before you go detecting every time once permission is given? Sorry to bombard you with so many questions, Its just I want as much information as I can get before I go calling and bothering them, as I know they are very busy. Thanks for all your brilliant videos.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Brian, as always thanks for visiting my channel and watching my content. In 10 years I have never had a written contract or anything like that. Most landowners aren't even interested in my finds. Only once have I ever had to pay off a landowner for me to keep a gold coin I found. I do not have NCMD membership as its a waste of time, so never mention that either. Last thing you wanna do is pepper them with comments, might scare them away. Just get in there, sweet talk them, get the yes, then crack on. I usually take their phone number and give them a call or a text in advance to let them know. Couple places I just turn up and crack on. All landowners are different so you just got to adapt to each and try to keep them as happy as possible. Hope this helps

[@brianrutherford7385]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Brilliant Gareth. Thank you for the reply. I am going on a rally dig shortly where the Huxley Hoard was found. I will have a 160 acres of land to detect. Really looking forward to it. I dont know if you can get a ticket for it, But would love to meet you and get some tips from you. Good luck in everything you do. Your channel is one of my favourites on youtube and i love every video you put out. Take care my friend.

Well hey that is a great start, congratulations on bagging your first permission. Now you need to get yourself some kit, and this video is dedicated to my essential metal detecting kit list: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabPoKqOl5Vob6Msi=pjzJbCSD3ZjU_a6u Also, I created a Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting video which you might also find very useful (275,000+ views).

Hi mate, apologies for the slow reply. haha yes I've been doing a LOT of running in the last few months trying to shift a bit of timber. Its partly why I haven't been uploading much as I get home from work, go running, food, shower then bed. No time for metal detecting or editing at the moment. Hope you are doin OK?

Hi Gareth, what do you use to wax the coins?... I haven't done this in the past but might give it a go for some of the better copper artefacts

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, I use something called Renaissance Wax. I bought mine from Amazon, had the same small tub for many years, seems to never run out! It works best on coins and artefacts with a nice smooth patina - you know like an old Queen Victoria penny when they are green and smooth. If the patina is gone and the artefact or coin is very rough, I'd use something called Arteseal. Below is a link to Renaissance Wax, if you buy it through this link, I'll earn 10% commission :) amzn.to/3R5zup8 I hope this helps. Gareth

What is the arrangement with finds? Do you split any value 50/50?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. Most of my landowners have no interest in what I find. But if something valuable comes up I always like to tell and show them. Only once has a landowner wanted an item I found. I had to pay him 50% of the value to keep it. It was a gold Half Guinea, the video to that unbelievable find can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSXi35_rZmbhtUsi=li0CURdv2WmBhpVk Thanks again and I hope to see you on my channel again.
