One More Dig: Metal Detecting Stories
Jun 30, 2026 · 33 min · 10 segments
Here are some tricks on keeping healthy while detecting. Basically, drink a lot of water, wear elastic boot blousing rubbers and avoid rabid animals. Listen in to learn what I'm talking about. Happy…
But anyway, I just wanna start out first, um, every once in a while, I like to share a tip on how to find, um, permissions, how to ask permission, um, that type of thing.
And I'm not sure if any of you are hunters out there, but there is an app called onX Hunt.
And for a monthly fee, um, you pick a state or states, you know, whatever you, whatever you prefer, and by that state, and it'll give you the property line for every single property in that state.
And, um, it outlines it in red, and you can see, and then it, it lists who owns it and the address.
And so you can see, like, if you drive by a farmhouse, um, you can look it up and see who owns it, but you can also see right there, conveniently, the entire shape of their property.
Um, it tells you acreage, um, I think longitude and latitude, a bunch of other things.
I think I bought it originally for, for hunting so that I didn't, um, trespass.
Um, and this way I would know the property lines exactly, um, and not cross them 'cause it does wanna-- it works on location services, so if you are on a p-- you know, if you're-- wherever you are actually, um, whatever property in the state that if you own, um, you know, you have a, a-- if you've purchased the, the rights to, to look at that state, um, you can see where you are standing.
But you can go into this, um, app, and you can actually set waypoints, which is cool, but it's also you can set, um, like so for my tree stands, I was able to use, like, a buck, um, icon.
And so, but anyway, for metal detecting purposes, it's, it's really pretty cool.
It can help you not trespass and let you know when you're out exactly where it's okay to be.
Um, I just think it's a great, it's a great tool, and, uh, I was pretty lucky to happen on it.
