Hello.
Some of you may be trying to find some new MDing spots, or may want to detect a private property rather than parks, tot lots, etc.
I'm sure a lot of you have heard of, or visited, the Craigslist site at: WWW.CRAIGSLIST.COM .
On that site you can buy, sell, and list ads for FREE in your area (state & city).
I came up with the following ad to try to find myself some old properties to hunt. I put the ad on last night, and by this morning I already had two replies. Two eager property owners WANTING me to detect their places.
How easy was that!!!
Anyways, I thought some of you may want to give it a try. You have nothing to lose. Feel free to use my ad & just modify it as needed.
Good luck,
MM
Here are my two replies and my ad:

Hi Doug, We have land! Our family farm has loads of room for metal detecting. We have torn down 3 old houses & barns in the last 10 years. Our farm has been in my direct family line for 125+++ years. The houses were built by my Great Granddaddy as Sharecropper homes. I can only remember one that people lived in until the mid 1970's.
There should be lots of farm things to find..
Not sure what you might find but it would be fun to look. All the farm is now cattle pastures.

I live in Wake County and have a house that was built in early 1900 over four acres.
I'm interested in seeing what we can find.
Please reply.
Thanks
MY AD:
My friend and I are both members of a metal detecting club, and love to hunt for old relics, coins, etc. Not for profit, just for the excitement of digging up pieces of history.
We are currently looking for a few more places to detect. Mainly older homes and properties built before the 1950’s, or land that used to have a house or other activity on it.
We are both adults with years of experience in the metal detecting hobby, and will respect your property if allowed to detect on it. We only dig small holes (approx 3”) to retrieve the item and then refill the holes.
Some of our finds include: Civil War relics, coins, jewelry, old bottles, toys, trade tokens, dog tags, lost items, etc.
If you have an old property, farm, or land that you wouldn't mind us detecting on, please give me a call. You would be surprised what is buried in the dirt that you don't even know is there.
We are more than happy to split whatever we find too.
Thank you,
Doug
