On the back cover:
The find of a lifetime starts with obtaining search permission or legally avoiding that obligation.
Where can you legally search without permission? How do you find the landowner to ask for search permission? How do you persuade the landowner to give their permission? These are the questions on the lips of many participants in the hobby, be they beginner or old hand.
In this remarkable book, expert metal detectorist, treasure hunter, and internationally acclaimed author David Villanueva draws on his experience successfully and painlessly gaining search permission on a wide range of sites, both as an individual and as a club leader, to reveal ALL in this fact-packed book.
Feedback from readers has been absolutely phenomenal, even from overseas, for although this book was written with Britain in mind, many have found that the ideas can be easily adapted to suit local conditions.

And, in less than a fortnight, one determined reader gained permission to search ten square miles of land - can YOU beat that? Get your share now before all the land is gone!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Villanueva was born in Birmingham, England, in 1951. His mother bought him Ted Fletcher’s book, A Fortune Under Your Feet, in 1972, which inspired him to buy a BFO metal detector. David became hooked on treasure hunting.
In 1985, a move to Kent, England, led David to search beaches with an old Pulse Induction detector. After buying a new Induction Balance detector, he joined a metal detecting club and gained permission to search a small farm, where he made all manner of old and interesting finds. Having a keen interest in history, David researched his locality, which led to more productive sites to search and write about in over a dozen books and the two British metal detecting magazines – Treasure Hunting and The Searcher – which have published more than thirty of David’s articles.
Continually delving into local history and following up on his research in the field, David suddenly found himself reporting on real treasures in the form of caches of ancient tools, gold coins, and Roman, Saxon, and medieval precious-metal jewellery. Over a dozen of David’s finds have been recorded under the Treasure Act.
