Default Getting permission and researching

Time for an update. I can finally order my prizm II on thursday Been itching to get going. I have been reading Sanborn maps and library searching the town I work in. Also talking to my mail customers and getting permission. It will take me years to search and each one is VIRGIN territory. They are on the tough side of town and that's why they're unsearched. Here goes:
1. brother in laws 1850 farm.
2.an old coal yard lot
3.vacant corner where 3 houses were
4.old house built in 1901..this guy said come anytime!
5.an old foundation where there was a dance hall late 1800s
6.the projects where i deliver..300 unit built in 1950 exclusive permission...watch out for needles!
7.a hill behind a vacant lot where a school was torn down @ 1900....winter sledding?
8.I stopped and asked the fire chief at a station I pass each day. He said sure..just tell the duty officer. was a lot for three houses, then a lumber yard
9.an old house from the early 1900s. she said i could come as often as i want
10. 3 people own a lot of rentals on a real old street so i approached on lady ad she gave me permission to search 6...yes 6 houses!
11. the best one. 1850 house. this is the only one who hesitated. i backed off and said if it makes you uncomfortable i won't. she warmed up said yes then got excited. she said they never had added soil,and we may find what they buried as kids. her mom was born in the house and died last year at 99. there is a cistern out back with crockery bits they find when they garden and they are always finding clay marbles.

I want to go to the hood and practice before i do the good ones. I have asked a lot of questions on this site in the last month to educate myself and you all have been so kind to answer. all i need now is time and to learn how to post pictures. even the beautiful one in coming along.. she came home with a set of headphones for me.. i promised her i would not let my enthusiasm get out of hand and we agreed on @ 7 hours of hunting a week. I can live with that....i would rather it be 24/7....buttttt
thanks y'all for listening. i just wish i could share these sites. I've been blessed. Happy hunting to all and to all a good night!
