I bought a package that had everything. Manticore, 8, 9, 11, 15 coils, PF40 pointer, bag, headphones, the works. I now find myself looking at it and overwhelmed. I hope these videos will help me get a good foundation. For starters, I'm most concerned with detecting somewhere I shouldn't and trying to find somewhere I can besides my backyard. I think half a house was used as fill in my backyard 😂

Want more “yes” answers from landowners? Here is a template you can download and change to suit your scenario. You can simplify or leave as is. In this video below I break down a simple, respectful system for getting permission to metal detect private property—without sounding awkward or pushy. Whether you’re brand new or you’ve been detecting for years, these tactics will help you expand your hunting spots and keep the hobby looking good. Quick tip: In the “Governing law” line, you should change the state/county to match where the property is (and it’s smart to have an attorney review if you want maximum enforceability in your state).
