I have an idea about gaining access to city ownEd properties, and wondered if anyone else has done this or considered it. I live near an old east coast city, originally established in the 1600s. Today, the city owns over 700 abandoned properties, most are uninhabitable, covered with trash, eyesores, which the city tries to sell for redevelopment. I was thinking about approachIng the city about access to some of these locations, whereby I would do some trash cleanup in exchange for metal detecting on the properties. It’s a crapshoot I think, that I will probably do a lot more cleanup (which will be good deed for the city) with some chance of finding coins or other items…could be many hours of cleanup for little return, but unsure…wondering what others think about this idea.
