how many of you have some form of release of liability waivers printed up to ease landowners worry of being sued
Such a letter would have just the opposite effect!
I never mention it first but have them in case a landowner brings up the the concernNot me.
I have never even mentioned that when asking for permission. That just seems like a way to get the land owner to change their mind from "Sure, go ahead", to "I never even thought about the possibility of me being sued...so get the hell off my property!"
If a landowner brings it up it’s game over alreadyI never mention it first but have them in case a landowner brings up the the concern
Exactly.If a landowner brings it up it’s game over already
Exactly.
Ditto if the hunter brings it up.
If a landowner brings it up it’s game over alreyes and no I know detectorists thqat
maybe but then again I do know other detectorists that it was the only way they ended up getting permission .... I guess location may have more to do with it as well along with societies collapse from how things were in the good ole days ....i do miss the good ole daysIf a landowner brings it up it’s game over already
yeah exactly property owners are paranoid look at how many foolish lawsuits go through US courts now a days , farms are now LLC instead of a listed under a single mans name . I miss the days when a handshake was golden and meant somethingSorry, but in my world, paranoids need contracts, real people need handshakes. But that's just me.
I see no harm in it, I sign them before i go digging for cyrstals, rocks and minerals at pay to dig spots in NY and down south .This just happened to me today.. I stopped and asked a elderly property owner if I could detect an abandon farm on property that he owns. He was very friendly and said sure as long as I signed a release form so I couldn't sue him in case I got injured on the property. I thought it was a reasonable request and told him I would get back to him. Is there any harm in signing a form like thatI see no harm i si
