Where To Start

im not a metal detector myself but to the forum

I would definitely ask at the farms. If they say no thank them for their time and walk away. There is always a chance they will say yes. My mom used to say if you don't ask then they will never say yes. Just make sure not to tear up their property. Parks are usually good. Check with your parks and recreation dept. Mine typed up a letter saying it was ok just in case anyone questioned me looking. Although I have yet to show it to anyone.

Schools are a good place to look. Just don't look during the hours that the children are there. They tend not to like that, at least around here they don't. Wouldn't hurt to check with the principal if they are around. I have had only 2 tell me not without permission from the school administration. So I don't look there. Just haven't taken the time to go down to the school administration and talk to them. I don't get down to that part of town to often.
