Hi everyone,
Im looking forward to detecting with my new Etrac...I will have to wait till Spring but need to ask advice on the following topics so I can prepare for Spring here in Canada.
1. Research: Im planning on going to the local library here to do research. How does one start to find info. The Town I live in was established in early 1800's. I would assume I would look thru Micro Fisch for Old Newspapers on old townships etc, festival locations in past, old schools.
QUESTIONS:
A. Where do you start first to find good place to hunt?
B. What Sources do ask for?
C. What is the Best Source?
E. What is the Best location to research..Old Schools, townships, Ghost towns, Etc.
2. I have never asked a private property owner to search their land? What is the best approach? I know the worse thing that can happen is they say "No" but I just wonder how come some would allow someone to come on their property with nothing to gain? Does anyone offer them half the bounty to allow access? Im interested how someone sales themselves to the owner other than promise not to destroy their lawn?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
