I recently got permission at an old church (today). I am super excited about it, and can't wait to see what I can uncover there.
I told my business partner, Clark Rickman of Detecting365 about the permission and he shared with me some tips about how to hunt it and how to go about using this one permission to gain more permissions.
I figured I would share his tips with you in case you didn't know these:
.
"Consider taking your time and overlap slow swings. '
If you find the church has been heavily hunted, I’ve found a lot of silver near the road in front of a church, right across the road from the church, and extremely close to the building and any paved areas.
Also have hit the jackpot by asking to hunt the parsonage if it is near the church. These seem to be commonly overlooked.
Also, when you get good permission like that, follow up and ask for referrals.
Sometimes a guy like that will know the nice old ladies that go to that church - the ones with the super old homes and land.
My latest breakthrough has been all about referrals. Door knocking is painful and I can usually turn one “Yes” into multiple “Yes’s”.
At the end of the session after I show the owner what I found, I might give him or her a couple of bullets (or a bottle of wine if I found something awesome) and ask about the neighbors: Who I should ask and who I shouldn’t ask (this is useful to and saves grief).
I usually receive introductions and can drop the property owners name to the next. Sometimes the property owner calls or texts another one and sets it up for me! And best of all, often these referrals have been crazy properties that I would have been to shy to approach!"
Hope that gave you a couple ideas on how to approach turning one permission into many.
