C&R Poor - This site I actually tag along with a metal detecting club that have permission on this land. I have been helping them ID military finds so it's a way of saying thank you Plus, myself and my group members clear all the 'military crap' (as the MD club members like to call it), from the site, which then enables them to find the deeper medieval/Roman/iron age relics. All other sites I get permission myself, which I do by presenting myself in person to the landowner, (smartly dressed, even in a business suit sometimes!), and explain who I am and what I do. I find this works far FAR better than emails or phone calls.

mmppres - Thanks. My pleasure
