That ain't right
I just drove by a lot where an old house was recently torn down. I had sent a letter a week and a half ago to the owner trying to get permission to search. I found their phone number in the phone book and was going to call after I got home from work. I get home from work and what do I see on my dining table? You guessed it, a letter from the owner. It reads as follows:
Dear Sir,
In reply to your letter, I'm sorry but our daughter asked us some ago to go over our lot in Hudson with a metal detector. My husband is a WWII veteran serving overseas in the Pacific zone. Getting back to the lot in Hudson, the Hudson post office used to be on the lot. It was the biggest little post office in the country and was in ripley's believe it or not. In the 50's the Hudson fisherman used to get mullet nets COD through the Hudson post office, salt the fish down and take them to Georgia. The post office was sold in the 50's. I am sorry.
Now my first reaction was that not only was I being denied, but she was making it even more enticing which thought was cruel. I plan on sending another letter letting her know if her daughter needs any help I love to get a crack at it.

Sometimes the easiest way to get permission to hunt an area is to wonder around on it and if the owner asks you what your up to show them your detector and ask if they mind if you poke around.
