To get a permission I've had fair luck opening with "my son and I" or "my grandson and I" or "my brother and I" .... "......like to do a little metal detecting as a hobby and .......". Those type openings seem to mellow the initial request. Even if a son, grandson or brother even exist .... it's better than "I" or "we".
It even worked when I got busted at a public park that I thought was okay to detect. The cop came over all huffy to bust me and ...."My grandson and I heard it was okay to hunt here ....". It worked. Your results may vary :-)
Keep swinging....
