Try asking around among anyone you know, if they know anyone (as a friend) who has a bit of land you could detect on, even a small bit, and ask them if they will put in a word for you.
It's often easier getting land via someone else who knows someone as because they know you and know the person with the land, the person with land is more likely to say yes.
After well over 35 years of detecting I am more brazen, I just straight out ask people when I meet them if they have any land, and if they say yes, I then ask them how they feel about metal detectorists. I've got a good 2000 acres of permissions this way (most farms down this way are only about 200 acres or so, or less).

You may find this to be of interest viewtopic.php?f=11&t=141222
Unfortunately, it's unlikely to bring offers of available land from farmers/landowners or multiple invitations from fellow detectorists to accompany them on their 'permissions', it does however, go some way to outline the current detecting situation in the 'real world' so to speak.

There's also more help available in the 'permissions' forum (within the blue pane on the left).
Enjoy your further browsing and your time in the MDF community
Good Luck. Regards Eric

Always handy to offer labour or manual skills when you asking around especially around harvest time
Got a couple of permissions painting around the farm for free
