I went swinging at my spot, which the new homeowners are gracious enough to let me hunt, but I had a feeling, intuition, feeling or paranoia that they’ve seen me to much. Never wanting to be “that guy” I told them I’d be working out of town for a couple of months and they wouldn’t be seeing my pretty face for awhile. He’s going to be moving a lot of dirt in the years to come and I wanna make sure I’m there and haven’t worn out my welcome. I think it was a good move.

Never be “that guy”.

Got 2 wheaties and a 44 Merc. IMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPG

Nice find! :icon_thumleft:

Good thinking, you never want to be a pest!
 

Great thinking, certainly don't want to be "that guy". Reminds me of a good permission of mine, a mid 1800 house on the edge ofvtow, complete with separate summer kitchen and spring house. I stop in every so often, and not necessarily to detect. They're older and ill ask if they need anything or help with anything, last trip over I dragged a leaky water heater from their basement. The lady of the house absolutely LOVES those little chocolate Timbits from Tim Horton's and I always show up with a small box for her. Soooo....one day, she calls me at work, which I thought was strange but was good to hear from her. She hadn't seen me for a month or so and thought I was done detecting there, plus...she said a "couple of guys" door-knocked asking permission. She asked me what I thought. I said "Carol, you know those little chocolate treats I bring you?"...she says..."uhh yes". I say "well that s*#t will stop!" She cracked up, when she recovered she said "ok, I get the hint"...I asked her to describe the 2 guys but I did not know them or of them. She also said when they exited their car one guy tossed a cigarette butt in her yard, which she was less than thrilled about. I smoke but would NEVER toss a butt down, especially in a prospective permission's yard! They're awesome people and while they say I'd never wear my welcome out, I don't take chances...(the Timbits don't hurt either). Sorry for rambling...it's POURING out, with no sign of letting up...Stay dry! Ddf.
 

I bet if you offered to help him with some of the work he has to do he will let you keep sticking your paw into the honey hole.
 

I would never wanna be that guy either.....but make sure you are his exclusive digger guy in the process.

I already mode his lawn and it’s HUGEIMG_0213.JPG lol

I just thought I should back off for a while. You know I detect a lot. Lol Give them so time to miss me.

Oh trust me he’s very peculiar I just lucked up and met him the first day he purchased it and I told him how much his home meant to me. He knows me pretty well now I know his personality and he knows mine and we mesh really well. I know he doesn’t like outsiders, so I’m definitely in, I just felt it was necessary to give them some breathing room. I can tell he’s a very serious guy, I make him laugh often and I can tell he doesn’t laugh a lot. Hey I’m a salesman....and I’m reeeeal good.

Congrats on the silver dime. ...And who would ever get tired of seeing your pretty face.
Was awful nice of you to cut the grass. He probably thinks you are nuts, lol.
 

Nice Merc! :icon_thumleft: We have a bunch of permissions that we rotate. And we don't stay long either, maybe 2-3 hours and then gone. There are some guys on YouTube that stay for a long time on a property and then they get asked to leave and they wonder why.
 

Nice silver. Also I think your right. It's kinda like the old saying, Absence makes the heart grow fonder or something like that. Good luck.

He’s got a pretty good idea. Lol I think the “SHOOT YOUR LOCAL HERION DEALER” logo on my truck might of tipped him off.
 

Keep it up and some will find they can't post, there is no need and everyone in thread knows our rules.

PM me and let me know if I did anything wrong because there’s no way I would want to be kicked off of TNET. Thank you
