Hey guys well I had to step up my game since my hot spot needed to cool off so while driving in the Historic part of town I keep my eyes open. First I saw that a old house and property that takes up a entire square block and it now had a construction sign on front, so I wrote down the name and decided to email them to see if I could get a permission. The historical maps in my town only goes back to 1935, but it looks a lot older. A WHOLE BLOCK IMG_2153.JPG

Then right around the corner on Main St, which runs through the Historic District, I saw another sign of a Construction company in front of another old building which has a nice grassy section and a old old oak tree on it. The best news is right directly next to it is the oldest major hotel in our town built in 1903.

Both emails said sure go ahead and let us know if you find anything interesting. They both said that, different companies and buildings. Pleasantly surprised. I know what I’m doing this weekend!!!!

Did you request permission in Person or by e-mail?

Cheers

I just emailed here’s what I sent

“Hello my name is Dean a local detectorist. I metal detect as a hobby and I wanted to ask your permission, if it was ok with you, if I can run my detector over that property? I look for anything old, marbles, coins, old brass relics etc. I cut round plugs open the plug see what’s in there and put the round plug back. I’m well known in the Covington area. I also detect a lot of Mr. Braswell’s properties. I’m open to any other questions that you may have. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you and I do appreciate your consideration either way.”
 

Nice touch, I gotta try that....
And FWIW...... I’m gonna name drop Mr. Braswell, he sounds important, and the players in town here would be like, oh yea, I know him.

Hey Ho the door of opportunity is open!! Congratulations I think I may try the the email angle, planning on doing a little door knocking tomorrow. Looking forward to your future post!!
