Congrats Jeff. Which detector did you get?

Awesome tips! The trust building is really where I think the permissions come from. If you can build a "friendship" with the homeowner quickly, it really can help out! Even if you get a no, don't forget to be friendly, you just never know when they'll talk to their neighbors about you next!

A very nice video! Thank you for sharing. My husbad and I picked up this hobby because we both love the civil war and the history behind the wars and the people that where apart of the wars, and well where still learning of our history.

Thank you Ondine. I’m also trying a new technique to request permissions via social media platforms. I’ll be doing a video on that soon! So far though it has yielded several new permissions. Send me an email at thehistorydigger@gmail.com and I’ll send you an example if you want.

Really great tips!! Really enjoyed this video! I have been working a lot this winter to try and get some permissions lined up for this spring and summer!!

Thanks BK - I need to get going on my permissions. I wanted to wait a bit for it to warm up but now is the time. Good luck and am looking forward to your next vid!

There are some very valuable tips in this video. Thank you for the walk through the maps online. I am your 35th LIKE on this video. 😁👍🏻 I have asked a few officials about permission for any public space in their county. Not everyone was receptive, they are ALWAYS worried about liability issues of all things. Clearly, people who do not understand the hobby. I hope to change some of their minds. I really need a logo for my channel. Yours looks great on your hat and I understand how that could make a difference. Problem is for me that I have yet to see a logo for my channel that grabs me as if to say, “That’s it!”. Sigh.....maybe this year one will be revealed to me. 😁

Awesome information, thanks!

Love your video and your personality. That matters as well when approaching people. Thanks for doing this. I’m from Wisconsin as well. Cheers!

Wow, this was great! It's true what you say about houses that don't look as old as they are. One of our relatives has a home that was built in 1910; but it's been updated a lot and doesn't look like it's 110 years old at all. It would be really interesting to have some detecting done there.

Great video, and I perked up when I heard you say Okonomowoc. I've actually traveled there for work a few times. One time it was so cold, I swear my jeans froze just walking from the hotel door to my rental car! In any case, great video... loved the interactions with the "locals". Maybe it should be renamed OZconomowoc ;-) Since you're a local, you probably know, but I had a security guard tell me a "story" of why it's called Okonomowoc.

Thanks for the great info. I'm interested in becoming a "detectorist" and was wondering if a property owner has ever asked you to indemnify them in case you somehow got injured on their property? Edit: just visited your web site. I see on the permission form for a business you offer indemnity right off the bat.

I have found dozens of “ historic homes” near where I live in Ohio. I just watched a video where the guy said if it’s a “historic” home you give everything to the homeowner. Your thoughts on this? And what about sending a letter to the homeowner ahead of a visit ?

@TheHistoryDigger1

3 жыл бұрын

Yes! See my later video “How to Use Social Media to Secure Permissions”. In that I also talk about a letter/mailer I’ve used and had great success with. On permissions I also offer to share my findings w the property owner. Most let me keep it all or pick a few items. Just how I roll, others feel differently. I also offer to make a free video of the hunt where I tell a bit about the property.

I think that I had enough courage to knock on a door to ask permission I would avoid using the word dig. I would use recover instead.

@libbyd1001

Жыл бұрын

I totally agree that “recover” is more palatable but it’s still important the homeowner knows you will be digging. Sure, this isn’t a medical procedure but the idea of truly Informed Consent is still valid.

Question once you ask permission what you find is it yours or the owner's property?

@TheHistoryDigger1

Жыл бұрын

That’s completely up to you as how you position this. I normally say I’m happy to split the the finds with them or they’re welcome to keep anything of high value. Others like to keep it all. My feeling is that it’s their property. It’s up to them. When I do this I also find that it often results in referrals to other permissions.

so.. am I aloud to detect on public parks? Or do I need to get a permit for that?

@TheHistoryDigger1

3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the location. State parks are almost always no, county parks most often yes, same with city parks. It depends on the state and specific area. You can call your local police dept and ask if permissible or check with local park and rec or on the county/province web site. Some require fees and permits, most do not.
