asking permission doesn't always hurt - 2/5/2008 7:10:38 PM    rlo   Posts: 320 Joined: 12/9/2007 From: the boot heel Status: offline I have gotten a lot of nos when I ask permission to walk properties, but today I got a delightful response!  the guy not only said yes, but took me round his property & showed me a cave, & field where he has found multitudes of arrowheads & stone tools.  then said I could hunt it whenever I want.  He was thrilled when I started asking the history on his place,  & proceeded to show me pix from the late 1800's to 1920.  I plan on getting out there tomorrow, weather permitting. (we're under a tornado warning right now)  I might not find bottles, but I plan on having fun! Post #: 1

We know the Mayor of that town and she said she would ask the borough manager,I called today it was a NO! The mayor said she would ask a council member if we could do it,and we also got the preservation society to go to council to.So its not over yet. We dug pits on preservation property and every thing went well so they went to bat for us. If we get a no after all this then we go to the row houses next to the lot. What I'm trying to say is getting permission is not like digging  construction lots where you just walk on and dig and pray you don't get caught. You have to have some kind of personalty to get permissions, and it seems you have that. Rick < Message edited by RICKJJ59W -- 2/5/2008 8:22:48 PM > _____________________________ My web site.

I'll just keep smilin and asking. (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 7
