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 🍀

[@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.

[@AndrexT]

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 😀

[@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

[@martinmarsola6477]

A great video to watch this day. The weather was great, and a picturesque field. See you on the next, Gareth. 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

[@alprini]

Thanks for the tips, whenever I have free time again I want to get my first permission!

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

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 🦘🦘😁👍

[@MikeMcInroe]

Spot on there Gareth! And thanks for the great tips on getting those permissions! Those were some beauties that you pulled out of that lush soil! Mike in sunny Florida

[@soupyowls2545]

Another great video! Would love to see a video of how you go about cleaning your coins. You hear so much conflicting info 😅

[@Notchedto11]

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

[@adztaylor2277]

Promising piece of land by the looks of the finds already up, and a bucket lister for you. Great info for beginners and people wondering how to secure their first permission, or expand the land they detect. Hope you have many more great finds there, I will be following your progress much with interest as usual bud. All the best and HH. P.s...Great buckle.

[@sammiles849]

A great hunt with some great little silver coins, furthermore some great tips that are very useful for everyone detecting, and I'm sure everyone tries doing. Hope you and the family are well, keep up the amazing work🙂

[@guycleveland3897]

Absolutely awesome video. So many beginners need the information on how to get permission. I am sure many detectorists are slightly introverted like me, and it is difficult to open up that conversation.

[@SpitfireExtra]

Always so good to see you!🙏 Great that you encourage everyone in this video 🤩👍. Until next time. Have a great day! 😁👍

[@michaelwyatt1143]

Great finds again Gareth. I believe the buckle is Georgian, as I have a similar one. That field will be a treasure chest full of coins etc.

[@myordinarytreasure]

Absolutely brilliant, so inspiring, thanks Gareth!

[@MrPaulie1456]

Absolutely brilliant vid Gareth, ripper finds & great info.

[@danielt879]

Excellent video, as always. Some really good tips , we all want more permissions 😊 Some amazing finds there too. Well done on the william and Mary mate, and the George 4th... im yet to find a George 4th coin.. Well done.. 😀😀

[@jamesaitchison3750]

what cracking finds Gareth ,i don t think the fields have had chemicals in them ,and your tips on permission are spot on well done thanks again cheers

[@davidconnell6648]

Great video Gareth lovely finds mate plus great info well done mate 👍👊🎧👊

[@CrosbyCollects]

Great video mate, there’s certainly a few tips that I will be taking away from this video! 👍🏽

[@Nicknofish]

Nice one as always Gareth. Cheers.

[@garyhuls3997]

I appreciate your informative videos. Great content and an inspiration to watch. Enjoy your fines and your attitude towards the hobby. I live in Glendale, Oregon USA. I’m traveling to London, the bath area for two weeks and possibly will be seeing some of the Countryside that you seem to be hunting. I wish I was bringing my metal detector with me. Equinox 800 but will have to enjoy it just the sites. Thank you for your enthusiasm towards this hobby. Love what you do.

[@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. 🐑🐑

[@stephenibberson4834]

Hi Gareth, lovely silver 😊 and a great video 📹 I'm one of the nerves types, I've asked a few farmers face to face but have yet to get a yes. They have all had Detectorists before and say there's nothing to find. I must try Google earth and look further. Very inspiring video ❤

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Stephen, 10 years ago I used to be the same, nervous, awkward, zero confidence. I was the same in job interviews. But since I started detecting and asking more and more landowners, plus having job interviews at work I gained more and more confidence. Unfortunately it doesn't come naturally to most, but if you work on it and practice, anyone can do it. If I can do it, so can you. I promise. Gave you a speedy reply on this one mate while I sit on my front door step recovering from my morning run. Have a good bank holiday

[@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!

[@damienjackson5227]

Loved the video ❤

[@steffenmoss7119]

Your permissions are always stunning, down south in kent not a massive amount of pasture land but i shouldnt be so lazy and start door knocking

[@SAM.L3AR]

Some great advise there mate 👍🏻

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Great advice and fab finds!!

[@user-eq4xn4tf9f]

Great advice Gareth I’ve. Been lucky as I’m an a electrician and this opens doors in my area there are a lot of group digs not for me as lucky to have some great places to go and always looking for the next keep them coming 👍Shaune in Kent

Great day Gareth! It’s easier to look up property owner in America but the properties are near as good as where you are. Love the silver coins they always make your day. Face to face is mandatory in my book too… John

Congratulations on the William and Mary coin, a rare find and one that is on our wish list. And 2 lovely silvers, well done Gareth. All the best Wendy and Jon

Great video Gareth I'm off to meet a new farmer on Saturday and yes I will be taking him a bottle...luckily the permission is nailed on but I will be as always extremely friendly and respectful to him and his land.....👍

An amazing day detecting topped 😂 with silver and great Tips another fabulous episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@shawncarpenter1289]

Hey up bud ,Nice new permission that and looks like there’s plenty on there ,Top video bud 👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Ayup Shawn, yes mate brand new field this, but its literally half the size of a football pitch and 2 thirds of it is baron of signals. I've done 2 visits and feel like I've picked it clean. The quality and condition of finds is exceptional. Got loads of real nice content coming, including another new permission which produced 3 silvers on my 1st visit. Just finishing off my next episode, another guide - my metal detecting kit list. Jetting off to Canada on Sunday, hoping to take my laptop so I can carry on working on my channel while away. Take it easy dude

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 👌

[@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.

[@disabledadventures4115]

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.

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

Considerabel less Chunky Gareth has To run 5 miles after the morning break Fast! Nice reminder how to suck Up. To get and maintain Permissions. Nice rare George 4 silver, shame its Was worn badly, one of most interesting Buckels seen this year. At least Manchester U won FA cup! Really hope next season goes better! One miracle save was enough for MC 😱 this season annoying 😜🔝❤️

[@brucehood5212]

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
