Love your videos! Been swinging for 25 years and I learn stuff from every video you make. Thanks for being so sincere and giving good advice! You are awesome!

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.

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!

I know this is 2 years old but just wanted to say that I'm only a few miles from Oconomowoc. I just picked up my first metal detector today.

Awesome info and links. Thank you very much.✌❤☀🌈

Answered some very important questions. Thank you.

Thank you. Great video and gives me some confidence to start asking.

By far the most helpful video personally that I have watched so far. Got your self another subscriber. Thanks for all the helpful info.

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

Thanks. I just ordered my first detector at 51 years old.

That was great information thank you so much for sharing it with us all!! I really appreciated it!! God bless!!

Awesome information, thanks!

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!!

I'm new to all of this and your videos are very helpful!

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.

Lots of great info.thanks.

Good Video with lots of valuable information.

Nicely done, good information, thank you.

well thought out def. a couple in there i wasn't thinking of thanks for sharing

Great Info ! Thanks !

Just subbed! Absolutely excellent topic and video! Very well done! Do several now (Research, research, research!) Will apply the other tips for my own detecting. THIS is the way we improve the image, and the hobby! GL & HH!

Fun fact , in “The Wizard Of Oz” the material that they used for snow that you see in the film was actually asbestos.

Great tips!! Can't wait to try them out :)

Wow Great job, loved it.

Great tips too, thanks!

Thank you uncle rob for the wisdom from the man behind the curtain!! #oz

Great video man. Thanks for the tip

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. 😁

Great video!

I will soon be detecting for the first time in an old townsite and I will be my first experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thanks. I also subbed ya. Havagudun bud.

Thank you for the tips. Great Channel. Thank you. Subscribed!

Thank you so much for this upload I've been metal detecting now for 4 months maybe found my First colonial copper just last week I found a dropped two ringer bullet and about five buttons and some other odds and ends I'm in Tippecanoe county Indiana I need more coils on the ground LOL trying to get a lot of farm permissions not as easy as it looks. But my car needs an alignment so I don't really have wheels right now at the moment. God bless you for the upload and the information! Let me know if you're ever in Indiana battleground Tippecanoe county look that up it is amazing

thank you sir

Hey, you're from Oconomowoc! Subscribed!

Thanks much for the great video. A lot of good advice for someone like me that is to chicken to go door knocking and ask for permission. I am saving this video for spring time when I can detect again. I will get brave at this. Thanks again for the great video :)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing ❤️🇳🇿

Comment 100! Thank you for the info. I just started and this has been super informative

I'm in Horicon. Only a half hour from you! Im.just getting into metal detecting and numismatics. I would love to possibly go with you sometime.

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.

Hey rob it’s tommy love the videos

New sub. Nice video.

Great map information 👍 I just make sure to be friendly and ask if I could run a metal detector over the grounds. If We find something,. me -- homeowner gets 50% of the finds. Thanks, hello from the Kentucky mountains

Love the tips but also the additional historical comments...do y still have your Vdi "cheat sheet" that u can send?

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.

Great advice! Love the "dad" jokes... sorry to all the dad's out there that aren't that funny! haha!

Rob, great info. Can I use it in our club training program? Also, any chance we can get together to detect during the 28th 0r 29th of May? I will be in Waukesha for a funeral and would love to have some detecting to take my mind off the reason I'm there.

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.

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

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 ?

Bro is a simplex 2.68 and new version same depth work or depth different

Wow Rob, how many miles did you walk making this video??

thank

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

hey , the place is very with the snow

Who else is here because they got turned down today? lol
