Wow this thing is like your own personal legal aid.

This is what I asked it
"Write a contract agreement between myself and a homeowner regarding me metal detecting on his property in exchange for me helping him find a lost wedding ring"

This is what it spit out... Obviously it will need a couple tweaks but it did 95% of the work.

If a property owner asked me for anything I walk away - Pretty Simple.
 

1st if anyone came to my house and wanted me to install any app, they would probably be able to leap 200ft in 1 step.
if an agreement had been printed and they want me to sign it, the same would apply, a 45 will make anyone dance.

This does not specify what happens to any other item that is discovered during the search. Who gets all of the finds?
 

In 55 yrs of detecting and having lots of permissions (12,000+ acres at the moment)
I have been asked once regarding getting hurt.
My reply was: Well I have been doing this for over 4 decades or more. Never have hurt myself beyond having a sore body the next day.
That was it-no other explanation.
They chuckled and got the permission.

NO WRITTEN AGREEMENTS.

I have to ask why can't a simple handshake, or the honesty of what is said, good enough?

I read the above agreement, and I will be totally honest here.

If I had lost my ring, and agreed in principle that you get to detect my 6 acres in return for looking for my ring.
No guarantees of recovery.

Then I see that agreement, I would be thinking this is way too legalistical. What is in the wording that makes me liable. Why do I need to get a lawyer to read this and why can't you just go away.

Best of luck with your complicated written agreement.

I have used the K.I.S.S. agreement 🤝, and every permission understands the simplicity of this.
A historic church asked me what if I break my ankle. I said well it would be my own fault. I've come home bloodied and sore the next day . I don't think twice about it . It's can be part of it
