The Importance of Simply Asking for Permission.....

There is a 40 acre Civil War Campsite / Training Area in my area. It was of major Regional importance during the Civil War. With the assistance of friends and a visit down to the county (called parish here) assessor's office, I was able to finally track down the "owner" of these extremely significant tracts of land during the CW. After some telephone calls and google searching, a phone # was found. After I left my number he finally called back. This gentlemen holds a very significant office within our community. I explained to him who i was, what i planned on doing and my interest in military history and the joy of simply 'finding old CW bullets." During our conversation, he mentioned to me that he knew for a fact that several MDters had and/or were trespassing on his property pursing their individual hobbies and interests. But because I had taken the time and was courteous enough to consult with him and simply "ASK FOR HIS PERMISSION", he gladly granted me full hunting privledges of his property in hopes that I may give him a 3 ringer or two. He also reminded me that no one else currently had his permission to be out there. Sure its been hunted in the past (both legall and illegally) but I was really excited about the future possibilities of this site.

Lesson Learned : Be courteous to others and simply ask for permission. :thumbup: The worst that can happen is that they'll say no.

HI EJ, I'm with you on that 100% I got my invite to the wedding in May. So hope to see you then. KC
 
Nice job CCH! Maybe you should buy some "no-trespassing" signs and put them up. This may keep some out?
 
You know EJ will have everything hunted out by May KC.........:laugh:
 
I had gained permission 2yrs.ago to hunt 2 empty lots that a local church now owns,I probably had approx. 100hrs. into digging every signal just waiting for the deep stuff.Last wk I was informed locks are being placed on the gates because thieves had entered through the property and stole the churches a/c unit.I could probably ask the pastor and more than likely receive a number to call to be let in,its just a shame that its come to that.:rant:
 
I'll take anyone from this forum MDting (Coin or Relic hunt) if you come down to see me. :punch: Heck, we'll make a video to prove it. Honestly, I am very fortunate to have a few CW sites within 10-30 mins of my home. I dont mind passing on what I think is good fortune. Warning - Its hot as heck down here in the Summer :veryangry: :ranting: :devil: :rant: :sick: . .... Really !!! Thanks for looking. Good luck. CCH
 
Excellent legwork EJ. Excellent. Now you have Larry crying like a little baby. :cry::detecting::cry: HH, Nancy
 
Larry is crying what do you think those of us that are west of the mississippi are doing. CCH reading your past post I am sure the owner will get his three ringer or two. Good luck & have fun.
