Excellent! A really useful video, thanks. I wish I was just starting out, not coming to the end. I hated asking for permissions, yet ventured out fairly locally, I have been pleasantly surprised at my unexpected success. Certainly more land than I could ever fully cover, even if not rich pickings. Being as pleasant, polite and professional as possible, I think personal contact, giving a good account of yourself, is paramount. Following the NCMD Code, I always operate as if I am being observed - and often am. Last year, a shout came from a cottage garden behind me. "That's good to see!", "What's That?" I turned to ask. "The time and trouble you have gone to in filling that hole and leaving it neat!". Followed by some tips about a nearby path that could be useful. A great hobby indeed.
Great video, after calling over 100 farms in the local area, I did manage to get 1x 4 acre field to detect on. He has more fields too, so hoping this will grow into something further
I couldn’t agree more ,,,, I did just as u suggested a few yrs ago,, small paddocks of a few acres, now I got over 1000 acres,,, Gave me time to build up trust etc 👍👍
well, thank's for that, really interesting video, the only downside as far as i'm concerned is obtaining permissions, i live in a village around bronte country and there is a lot of moorland and small farms, ( mostly pasture ) some of which are renting land from other untracable land owners, it seems the farmers around here especially the ones with horses on them don't want me on their land digging holes that they think the horses are going to injure themselves falling into one, i did get permission at two adjoining farms this year, one with two fields, one of which used to be the village recreation ground back in the 1800's but there is a lot of old mining waste been tipped on it over the years and all i have found so far is old iron bits and a few modern'ish coins dropped by dog walkers, the other field all ive found is old bits of farm equipment dropped off machinery, the other 4 fields belonging to the, "let's play with horses people", not farmers as such, gave me permission and before i had chance to get on the land they have decided it's a bad idea, so taken the permission back. !! the nice people on the first farm are selling up after they tried to make a go of it but failed and are moving back down south so i'll probably loose that land as well, being in my 70's it's getting more difficult to get around so i may just give up. oddly enough i was looking to buy a 440 from your site yesterday but now i'm not sure it's worth it.?.
@@unearthed-detecting-tv i'v re considered and just put an order in to you for a 440 inc pin pointer, it will do for a lady friend of mine who was struggling with her garrett 150 i hope. cheers.
A brilliant day, well-done ladies. Pity I had to miss it. The medallion looked like it said 'Tarleton' which is a little village near to where I live in Lancs but I cannot see it finishing up 100 miles away! Thanks for another great video Graham and see you next time.
Lots of good information for people coming into the hobby Graeme. I retired recently but prior to that I worked in the hospitality trade. Five of my permissions came from me chatting to the customers, finding out a little bit about them, if I discovered they were farmers or landowners then I would ask them for permission, working in a little country pub had its advantages lol. As you say, be smart, be polite and respectful. Jax.
Great video Graeme the other thing I told the farmer that got me in his good books I told him that if he ever or any of his family/friend lost any thing I would come and try and find it using my detector. A farmer lost a piece of machinery I found if for him saved him £200 and I get more fields to detect on a win win for both me and the farmer. also dropping into the conversation that you have public liability insurance is a good shout as well. plus the amount of sheep i have freed from brambles/briers and in fences it all helps to build trust
I had someone lose a ring planting stuff in his allotment asked if i could try and find it second attempted bingo £800 ring . He just happened to have land and gave me permission no problem .
A great video as always Graeme. Informative and honest. I’d agree permission to be the greatest challenge for anyone looking to get into the hobby these days. I’ve been detecting for 25 years and have found the massive growth in popularity of the hobby over recent years to have made it very challenging to get new permissions. But where there is a will…
Brilliant video Graeme and very informative and helpful, and very generous of you to share your experience and knowledge. Have to say to anyone reading this, Graeme’s business Unearthed Uk is the best place to shop for all your detecting needs, he is so helpful and generous with his time and advice, I wouldn’t shop anywhere else. Ruth Wilkinson
Great video, all very useful information. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, CZcams has been a fantastic platform for me learning about this wonderful hobby. Look forward to video No 2 👏👏😁👍
Excellent vid some great advice and straight to the point . I couldn’t fault it in anyway . And it’s exactly how i started 4 yrs down the line and im still loving it . Looking forward to part 2 . ( I need your spade though 😀 )
Hi Graeme , wise words indeed my friend and good info for anyone just going into the hobby and some of the info will also be useful for some people who have been at it for years ! , good video mate and well put across 👍
Great video mate, fantastic advice. I remember you advising me things when I started out 5 years ago, I took it all onboard and my techniques and finds rate increased as well as my knowledge 😉👌🏻👍🏻
Unearthed channel is my main source of evening viewing , learning alot from you . Keep up the great work . May join one of your digs in the near future . Thanks again
When it comes to permission I’ve got places that are great on paper but produce nothing and I’ve others that on paper aren’t worth the effort but have produced hammered coins and good artefacts. I went to one today that on paper wasn’t going to be good and it turned out to be full of so called green waste but I still managed to find a William 3rd sixpence love token. Good factual video Greame.
As always Graeme, good factual information. Not good just for begineers as some whom think they are more than that are not. Was on a a dig and a detectorist had not a finds pouch? so i asked where do you put your rubbish and answer was (leave it in hole) i dispair i really do. P.S he has been detecting 5 years. Regards Ian from Ipswich
All is well as it can be Graeme, Wifey had 2nd batch of Radiotherapy. She not the same anymore. But with Chemo it changes you. But as she say's every day you wake up in the morning is a good day. Hope Mel is okay and we both wish you well Sir
Great advice Graeme. One question where do we get the clothing from. I have found buying online they come in all shapes and sizes other than advertised? 👍🏻
I had to stop watching after 3 minutes. The sound was atrocious and when you were talking about the metal detector it was off camera and we couldn't actually see what you were talking about.
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Nothing wrong with my audio settings at all. Your microphone was picking up the wind and it was almost drowning you out. But don't worry. I found other videos which were far easier to listen to and which actually showed the equipment when they were talking about it. Take care.

Thank you for watching ian
Great in-depth video
Thanks steve
You got all the gear!
Too much gear, not enough free days off to use!
@@unearthed-detecting-tv no kids at home u must be joking. We can’t go anywhere with 2 kids but I do make time to detect 😆
i have a detector but not started yet, good vid but i have done a lot of research and generally im told its 50/50 with land owner ? @Unearthed UK
Agreed, but sometimes its much different, its something for you both to agree on
Great information. Nice video.

@@suffolkhunter1375 take care both, our thoughts are with you
Great advice Graeme 👏👏

Do you have to have writen permission or is verbal permission good enough?
Hi tina, both are good, written is better
Great video graeme 👍👍
Thanks mate

Thank you tom!
Great advice Graeme. One question where do we get the clothing from. I have found buying online they come in all shapes and sizes other than advertised? 👍🏻
Hi mate, depends on what you are looking for, we do a rang of clothing for the detctorist, depending on what it is you need?
The only thing I haven’t got is headphones i believe they have to to be worn once you join a club?
Yes always advisable to wear them steve as i touched on in this film, you will do much better with them on
Exc.
Ellent!
One of my tips is always bring enough drinking water.
Absolutely sir!
