The following is a permission letter which I have used many time to successfully attain
access to detect property for coins. You will notice that I make no mention of "sharing" my
finds. I do not believe in sharing unless the circumstances are unusual. Let your
conscience be your guide. Massage this letter to fit you and remember, always be neat,
courteous and thankful. Best of Luck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DATE!
Mr.XXXXXXXX
This may sound like a strange request, so let me introduce myself: My name is (Your
Name) and I have lived in (Name of Town) for (Length of Time). I am (Your Age) years
old, married with four children. Normally I would prefer to approach you in person,
however I feel that a letter before hand is a better emissary than just knocking on your door
at an inconvenient time and invading your privacy.
.
I have been engaged in the hobby of metal detecting for twenty years and find it a healthful,
enjoyable pastime that allows me to meet many interesting people. The thrill of finding old
coins, buttons, etc. is very exciting to me.
.
Recently, I have researched information that your property and the area surrounding it goes
back many years. I would like to obtain permission for myself and a friend to detect your
property.
.
I want you to understand that I always respect the property that I search and try to leave it
in the same condition that I found it. Normally the targets are no deeper than 4 or 5 inches
and I retrieve them such that the ground appears not to be disturbed.
.
In addition, I would like to offer my services to you. Perhaps you or someone you know
has lost a valuable ring, a cache or a farm tool. I would be willing to assist just for the thrill
of the search.
.
I have enclosed a self addressed envelope for your convenience and would be happy to
meet with you if further discussion is required.
.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
.
(Your Name)
(Telephone Number)

Good Luck with This Letter, it has worked well for me!
