So very true. Also great video for something like metal detecting the videos are so much better with no editing or intro.

I was doing some door knocking a few weeks ago and got permission to hunt an old 1800's store front. The property owner gave me permission to hunt the property and ended up following me around like a puppy. For the first time ever, I found a gold ring. It was my very first piece of gold and he immediately put his hand out. But he did allow me to keep the 1994 matchbox car that I found. He said it didnt belong to any of his children so I can keep it. That ended my day right then and there. I already knew how the rest of the day was going to go if I stuck around. I'm sure you can imagine how I felt when it was time to pack it up. I drove away pretty unhappy without the ring. Needless to say, that was the last time I'll allow a property owner to follow me around. It'll either be, I have permission to hunt and keep what I find or I'm walking away. I'm not going though that again!

A hard lesson, but I'm sure it will stick with you! That would definitely Frost my hide. Thanks for watching & good luck on the next one.

My weird step brother wanted me to detect his 1850 property. Then he mentioned that he keeps all finds, I said no, it’s 50/50. He says it’s my yard. I reply it’s my equipment and time. He said absolutely not. I told him then no. See ya.

[@freedomdiggersmetaldetecti8964]

For sure I'd walk away on that! Sad that all the history is left to rot.

I have stayed away from permissions. 1 I am to shy to even ask ok Nervous. Not that I would get an Answer of NO!! But the part of going up to their door and knocking and interrupting their day. I pretty much start my videos with no flashy into or anything just get right into digging.. Thanks for sharing .. Peace

When people hear "relic" they tend to think of something outdated, useless, and in poor condition.
