Steve, I know some do but I have never had any luck using the telephone. I always go door knocking, usually about 6.30pm and wear a jacket and tie (not ultra tidy) with the story that I am just on my way home from work. I have found that if you turn up looking as if you are ready to detect the farmers feel a bit intimidated. Plus I always leave them with a smile and a card regardless of permission. It works for me.

Steve, Save your petrol and phone bill, come and join the Scan Club, we have loads of club land you can detect on ;D (shameless plug ;) )
apart from that, i think you'll find that area highly contested, it pretty popular, but going back to my shooting days, i must have called to over 100 farms, only got permission from 3 or 4, but, once your pally with the farmer, they'll introduce you to there mates, then its plain sailing, don't loose heart.
