Gaining permission - Part 2

Ok, I have covered several points in my last blog post, and there are more, but those are my main ones. In this blog post I will use a couple more.

When asking permission to hunt a property this is how my introduction goes 90% of the time:

'Hello my name is Evan. I hate to bother you, but I just noticed how old your house is. Could you tell me what you know about it?' Then I say, 'I did some research on this house and what I found is...' and I let them know what I found out. I then say 'the reason for my interest is I have a website and YouTube channel called Gonehunting for History. I go around to different places metal detecting for things from the past, whether it be tokens, charms, etc. My favorite things to find are things that are connected to the town.' I then talk about past finds and relate them to the town I am in.
